At this time.
Inside Long Haochen's soul space.
It was pitch black all around, with not a single ray of light in sight, like a boundless prison.
Long Haochen sat listlessly in the middle of the dark prison cell.
Remaining silent.
Unmoved.
It seemed as if it had merged with the darkness.
Only his chest emitted a golden light, protecting him from the encroachment of darkness.
"Don't waste your breath struggling; stop fantasizing that anyone will stand by your side. In this world, strength is everything. With strength, you're right no matter what. Long Haochen, I don't understand why you resist me so much?"
A man who looked exactly like Long Haochen, but exuded a sinister charm Austin Griffin, emerged from the darkness.
Although Long Haochen ignored him, there was a strange excitement in his dark purple eyes.
After two days, Long Haochen's mental defenses were on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the fact that Long Haochen God Favored One of the Goddess of Light, he would have already merged with Long Haochen.
But it doesn't matter, Long Haochen's thoughts have already been shaken.
All he's doing is adding fuel to the fire and making things worse.
Austin Griffin looked at Long Haochen, who had closed himself off, with a wicked smile.
" Long Haochen, these humans in the Temple Alliance are really hypocritical. Even though you and Lin Feng both have Demon Race blood, when Lin Feng told them, not a single person disliked or feared him. They even gave him special treatment and took good care of him, showering him with resources without hesitation."
"But what about you!"
"Even though you are of the same Demon Race bloodline, why did their first reaction upon hearing this news not to comfort you, but to imprison you in a remote and desolate place, preventing you from seeing anyone?"
"Why should I!"
"Why is it that Lin Feng, who has Demon Race blood, can have freedom, while you...?"
"Do you want to know why, Long Haochen?"
Austin Griffin's seductive voice echoed in Long Haochen's ears.
At this moment, Long Haochen slowly raised his head, his eyes blankly looking at Austin Griffin. In the past few days, he had come to accept Austin Griffin's existence.
Long Haochen murmured softly, "Why is that?"
Seeing that Long Haochen finally reacted, Austin Griffin sat down directly in front of Long Haochen.
To lower Long Haochen's guard, he continued to coax him.
"That's because you're dispensable to the Alliance; your value isn't enough for them to take risks for you."
"Value?"
"Think about it, if Lin Feng didn't exist, wouldn't you be the most talented person among humans? Without Lin Feng, wouldn't you be the one who could defeat the Demon God Emperor? Without Lin Feng, wouldn't you be loved by everyone?"
" Li Xin, Han Qian, Yang Haohan, wouldn't all the Temple Master treat you like a treasure? But just because Lin Feng is stronger than you, and he possesses unprecedented talent in the history of the Holy Magic Continent, no matter what Lin Feng's identity is, those old guys can only revolve around him..."
"As long as you become strong enough and demonstrate your worth, you can take back everything that originally belonged to you..."
" Long Haochen, accept me. I am not an evil being; I am merely pure power."
Faced with Austin Griffin's enticement, Long Haochen hesitated for a moment before lowering his head once again.
He still remembered why Iliex left.
Long Haochen whispered, " Brother Lin, he didn't do anything wrong. He is indeed better than me. It's only right that Grandpa Yang and the others like him."
"I don't want to get involved in these things anymore. Anyway, with Brother Lin around, the Demon God Emperor can't do anything to humans."
"I just want to spend more time with my mom from now on, all I want is my mom... I miss my mom so much..."
"Enough!" Seeing Long Haochen's will sink once again, Austin Griffin could no longer pretend. Aura of Destruction swept across the entire space in an instant.
" Long Haochen, lift your head and give me a good look. In a world without Lin Feng, you are such a dazzling existence. Everything he has originally belonged to you. The person you should hate the most is him!" Austin Griffin's hoarse voice echoed throughout the space.
Subsequently, Austin Griffin, at the cost of his hard-won restored soul power, projected a world without Lin Feng.
Long Haochen is the protagonist of this world.
Seeing that Long Haochen remained unmoved, Austin Griffin forcibly broke through the protection of the Goddess of Light, forcing Long Haochen to look at a world without Lin Feng.
Meanwhile, Long Haochen was also seeing his first day in the Haoyue Branch Hall in the countless scenes around him. His talent amazed everyone present. Then, he won the admiration of Lin Jialu, Li Xin and everyone else present by getting first place in the Demon Hunt Squad's entrance examination. Later, he became the focus of everyone's attention by getting first place in the Demon Hunt Squad Individual Competition...
"Well, if it weren't for Lin Feng, all this glory would be yours," Austin Griffin laughed.
Then, just when Austin Griffin thought victory was assured.
Long Haochen simply nodded, then lowered his head again.
"So what? Brother Lin has never done anything to wrong me. You said it yourself, that's a world without him, but in this world, Brother Lin truly exists."
Upon hearing Long Haochen's words, Austin Griffin finally lost control of his emotions. The projection he had created at the cost of his soul power had no effect whatsoever on Long Haochen.
He said angrily, "Then what was your purpose in chasing him? Wasn't it to defeat him?"
"No, I just wanted to help Brother Lin. From the first time we met, Brother Lin has taken good care of me. I admit that I am sometimes jealous, but it is what Brother Lin deserves."
Austin Griffin was so exasperated by Long Haochen's determination that he realized all his efforts over the past few days had been for nothing.
Just as Austin Griffin was about to give up due to the depletion of his soul power, he suddenly thought of something and then slowly said.
"Fine, if you don't want to have power, then let Long Xingyu kill you and your mother together."
Upon hearing this, Long Haochen abruptly raised his head, and Dark Aura visibly began to emanate from his eyes.
"What do you mean!"
Hearing Long Haochen's murderous voice, Austin Griffin was not afraid at all. Instead, he said excitedly, "You'll understand what I mean when you see it for yourself."
The moment Austin Griffin finished speaking.
The scene in the Conference Hall appeared right in front of Long Haochen.
The only difference was that Austin Griffin had manipulated the visuals, so Long Haochen only saw Ying Suifeng and others criticizing him, the murderous Long Xingyu threatening to make Long Haochen disappear completely, and Bai Yue's heartbroken, tearful, wronged, and haggard face...
