The pen was an item of a very distant past which couldn't be traced. No one knew its origin and who made it. However, there was one fact to recognize. Its power was overwhelming. Even here in the Dark Train where the Possibility of Prospect was restricting everything, its energy was overflowing like madness trying to get out of a box.
"It's something that you don't need to know. What's important is that I have something you need so much in my hands." Jin Rou was smiling as he spoke these words. His expression told that everything was under his control.
"Why do you want to participate in the Grand Scheme? Just throw your weight away and kill those people. Isn't that easy?" The worm grumbled.
"That's easy, for sure. However, it wouldn't bear my desired fruit. So, it's a no." Jin Rou pondered as he said, "I want to do something extravagant and since I can only do this once, I might as well give the best show."
The Dark Train was Han Li's dream to travel. And now that Jin Rou was here, he didn't mind paying efforts to fulfill the former's wish.
"Insanity." The worm gritted its teeth, "Fine, I'll give you the Title but I want another condition."
"Do tell. What is it?" Jin Rou asked.
"A share of the Grand Title you will receive." The worm said. Its eyes were filled with resolution. The Grand Scheme was too precious not to bite it. It's like a big piece of pie and people were crazy to take a piece of it.
"You're smart, even though I don't know where is your brain located at." Jin Rou smiled, "2.5% of the Grand Title. That's my first and final offer. Don't test my patience."
The worm was looking at Jin Rou as if it wanted to tear him into pieces. Being at the disadvantage, it couldn't resist more as it said, "2.5% it is."
In normal people's eyes, the amount of share was too little. However, if we're speaking about the Grand Schemes, then it's different. This amount was already enough for various powerhouses to fight over with.
Jin Rou was already generous by giving 2.5% of it to the worm. As a matter of fact, he could choose to decline and still take the Title but he didn't do so.
"Okay, now that we're settled. Hand over the Title." Jin Rou said. Then, various words and energies came inside of his body. It was the Title being transferred to the other.
Jin Rou felt a demon slaying energy lurking in his body. It might be the eminence of Slayer of Demons.
After that, Jin Rou gave the pen. He's a man of his word and wouldn't go back on it.
"I hope you really get the Grand Title or this will all be a disgusting bluff." The worm grumbled again. It received the short end of the stick and didn't like it. Unfortunately, it had no choice.
"The Grand Title will be surely mine for the taking. Those idiots should learn to be smart or their heads might roll without them knowing." Jin Rou chuckled.
"You're aware that even Emperors might participate, no?" The worm said, "Not to mention, a partial of Zodiacs might watch or participate."
"Zodiacs..." Jin Rou smiled, "Emperors are only side dishes. Those Zodiacs must participate to make it exciting, maybe they can be the main dishes."
The worm was choked by the words. This person was truly insane, a borderline insanity at that!
Take note, Zodiacs were a group of very strong people who worked alone. Even Emperors had to pay their respects to them! Despite them being little, their power in this train could make the world tremble in fear
And yet, Jin Rou was talking as if they were mere foods in his eyes. How arrogant was that?
"You don't have to be so surprised. You can watch the show if you want." Jin Rou said, "We will be going now. Since my preparations are already all set, going to Cabin 5 must come next immediately."
The Cabin 5 was the stage for the Grand Scheme. Many various powers from different Cabins were preparing to travel despite the large amount of expenses.
After saying that, the duo left the place and cleared a normal schema to proceed to the Cabin 5.
---
The Cabin 5 was called Artic Field. It was a large field filled with ice. Only those with resistances from ice could manage to survive in this harsh environment. Thus, only a few groups and clans lived here.
It used to be the one of the worst barren lands in the Dark Train, but now people were surging from now and then.
The upcoming of a Grand Scheme. It was the sole reason why many powerhouses spent resources to travel in this bad land. Since it's a schema of a grand level, it had attracted many people. As a matter of fact, Emperors were confirmed to participate too.
Remember, Emperors were already one of the strongest beings of the Dark Train.
Jin Rou searched for an inn to stay the night while Sylvianna returned to her space. She must be exhausted from all the travels and was knocked out.
Days had passed now. The rumored Grand Scheme was nowhere to be found. People began to suspect that they were scammed, thus they complained and left eventually. The expenses for this trip was more than they could take now so it's better to leave.
And just like that, many clans and normal sects left the cabin and returned to their homes.
On the ninth day of Jin Rou's stay here, the clouds suddenly turned dark and red transparent walls slowly appeared and shot through the sky.
Many became excited as they looked up into the sky.
"The Grand Scheme is about to start!" An ancestor exclaimed. His eyes were teary as he looked at the dark sky. It had been a while since the Grand Scheme which he had managed to witness.
Thus, people from various groups prepared and armed themselves ready to fight for the upcoming schema.
Jin Rou slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Finally, it's starting."
