Shen Mo and Chen Mengze signed an equal-cooperation pact with Guan Ling!
Since he wanted Guan Ling to act, he naturally had to pay the corresponding price: within the cultivation world he needed to slay three Deities to help Guan Ling retrieve three fragments of his master's corpse.
After an outsider cultivator slays a Deity, they may choose to either immediately return to their original world or remain in the cultivation world for a period of time, so long as it does not exceed one month; if they overstay this limit, once the primal power dissipated from the slain Deity is exhausted, they will need to slay another Deity in order to leave!
If they killed a Deity every two to three hundred years, they would need at least six hundred years to gather three; by then Lady Yu's remnant soul would likely already have perished.
Therefore, Shen Mo planned to stay in the cultivation world for a longer period of time and try to slaughter as many Deities as possible.
