His status upgraded again after the awakening . Looking back on his efforts, they were worth it .
[Welcome to the immortalhood, little devil . Once you return to your dimension, you won't be treated as a sinner again . I'm sure that brat Morning Star will be delighted to take you in under his wings . ]
[But I have to remind you again . You've only taken your first step inside the doorway to the immortal realm . You have yet to see what kind of hypocrisy realms they are . ]
[Heaven is peaceful, but those corrupted gods are full of shit!]
[Hell is kind to you, but it's still a gathering place for sinners and monsters The environment is still shit!]
[Since you are too new in this world, I can give you a pointer or show you the proper way to grow into a better demon, even stronger than those first generation archangels . But of course, I have a condition . ]
[I'll rephrase what I have asked, work for me, and I'll exempt you from this shitty game! I can make you stronger than both Michael and Morning Star combined! Join me!]
Tong stared at the series of messages in shock . The system gave out so many information about Heaven and Hell that Tong did not know . He did not know anything about this "Morning Star", "Michael", or first generation archangels, but he could guess that they should be the powerhouse in the Netherworld .
Moreover, the last message tempted him . It would be a lie if Tong said he enjoyed doing quests from the system . He had always been looking for a way to stop doing random missions since he was born into this world .
Now, the opportunity was presented to him on a silver platter . However …
"What about my wives, my family, and my friends?"
[I have no use for those sinners and the powerless ex-demoness . They will have to go through this game until they die and they will have to return to their dimension . ]
"Can't you make an exception? For like, family welfare for your employee?"
[No, my resource is limited . I can't waste it on those useless bums . ]
The system goddess needed a successor who could inherit the system administrator position so she could reduce her imprisonment terms . Zuo Ci, Liu Yang, and Medusa were good candidates, but Tong had more potentials as she knew about the secret plot which Morning Star had planted on him .
She also had the information about Tong's two unique sins that only a few individuals knew about, which were not shown in the system menu .
She could not tell this to Tong . If she were to favor his entire faction in the open, her father would have shown up again and put more chains on her, which would extend her imprisonment period . She had to camouflage her favor with system missions, forced restrainment, and threats of severe punishments, so nobody could notice her true intention .
Alas, being in confinement for countless years without a friend to talk to weakened her communication ability .
[Aren't you disgusted living with that psychopath? She's been taking advantage of you since the first day you two met . ]
[That ex-demoness too, she's been cruel to you, isn't she? She took your first soul without telling you anything . If she hadn't taken your soul, your combat potential would have surpassed Lu Bu already!]
[And that friend of yours, don't you realize that he is leeching off you? All your hard-earned clan quest lifespans will be taken by him so he can stay alive . ]
[Work with me for 100,000 years . No, in your case, 50,000 years are enough! After that period, you will be invincible in this multiverse! If you still worry about your friends and your family by that time, you can get them back from that dimension with ease!]
[Abandon those useless people for now and join me!]
Hearing the last few messages, it was not hard for Tong to decide . Even if the temptation was strong, he was not the type who abandon others to seek self-profit alone .
Tong took a deep breath, bit his lower lips as he felt pity for the deal .
"I'm sorry . I'll decline this offer . "

A smile appeared on Tong's face . Although he might miss this golden opportunity, a new sin was about to be cleansed .
[FOOL! Do you have any idea who you are talking to!?]
[That girl only had 4 wings and her mother has 8 . Do you know how many wings I have?]
[Sixteen!!]
[Do you know how many wings the strongest immortals in that dimension have? 12!]
[Common archangels and archdemons have 8 wings . Those hypocrite gods in your world only have 10 wings! Only the first-gen archangels and Hell King have 12!]
[But I have 16! Do you know what that means!?]
[Do you think those weakling devils can guide you better than I do!?]
[I'm the second strongest Immortal in both dimensions! I'm only second to the creator!]
[Do you know how many gods would kill just to beg me to be their mentor!?]
Hearing about the numeral comparison of the wings, the mind of the newbie demon wavered . However, Tong stood firm in his decision . He shook his head and refused the invitation again .
"I'm sorry . You can't even help my family members, how can I even trust you? You have all the power, but you don't even want to give me a basic family welfare . I can't work with the narrow-minded boss . "
The system goddess stopped sending her messages . The awkward silence continued for another 5 minutes until new messages appeared again .
[I gave you a chance, but you ruined it . Suit yourself, then . ]
[By the way, if I were you, I wouldn't try to get my fourth wing or latter wings in this world . If you do and you use that power on my local ants, you will definitely be targeted by my delegated enforcers . ]
[There's an angry 8-wing-goddess-wannabe and a rebelling cultivator with the strength of 10-wing god in this world . Though I put a leash on them, who knows if they will suddenly break my shackles and go after you . ]
[Do your best not to irk them . I won't help you if they accidentally kill you . ]
[One more thing, the strength gap for every two wings is like the top of Mount Everest and the deepest abyss in Mariana Trench . Just telling you so you can get a clear picture of your power and theirs . ]
[Good luck, have fun]
"Eh?"
Tong's hands and feet went cold from hearing that there was another threat besides the quests and the natives . Knowing that there were two roaming immortals that could easily kill him gave him a fright .
He had been with Friday and Medusa in Hell for years . Their general strength and magic were as if they emerged from fantasy movies . Just Friday alone, who had only 4 wings, was enough to destroy a country in this world by herself .

"Dammit! That was definitely on purpose!"
Tong clicked his tongue and regulated his breathing to control his unsettling heart in a hurry . Fear, as well as anger, lingered in the depths of his heart .
The system goddess seemed to hold a grudge for Tong as he refused her offer . She threatened him with the existence of her two subordinates, Liu Yang and Zuo Ci . From her action, she definitely took revenge on him .

"This is insane! I only feel a bit of frustration and it increases a lot . "
Tong sat down and crossed legs to meditate . With the wavering heart, he was at risk of getting taken over by his sins .
…
…
September 13th, 5 AM .
Tong opened his eyes from the all-night meditation . He accidentally fell asleep while he sat cross-legs as he was over-zealot in getting his sins weakened .
The moment he adjusted his sight with his surrounding, he had a wry smile on his face . The message logs on the system menu showed unsatisfying messages .

Despite his hard work of trying to calm his spirit for an entire night, all the sins, aside from [Greed], had only decreased by 0 . 01% chance . At this rate, he might have to meditate every night for years, which was impossible for him to do right now as he had urgent matters about the incoming war .
'A small wave in my heart can boost up the chances by a lot, but I have to work all night to get it reduces by a little . This will probably take forever . '
'Do I have to shave my head bald and become a monk to get these cleansed!?'
'Come to think of it, the system said there is a cultivator . Did he cultivate to the point that he overcame all of these?'
Tong scratched his head . He recalled that he had forgotten something .
'In the end, the system didn't tell me how I can use my skills with my demon soul . I guess I will have to test it myself in my free times . '
Thinking this far, Tong stood up . His chuunibyou spirit was heightened as he summoned his soul outside of his body . He made a lean pose and pointed his finger toward the nothingness . He focused his conciousness onto his demon soul and muttered the magic word .
"ZE WARUDO!!"
