Mark

The War Abyss God King nodded. "There is naturally a way to break this. But before that, you need to be prepared to endure immense pain."

I will plant a Guardian Mark deep within your soul. This mark originates from my power at my peak and can withstand the erosion of annihilating forces in critical moments. However, the process of planting this mark will cause a tremendous impact on your soul.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi immediately became alert.

"Your Highness, the former leader of the Robe Clan told me that my predicament was related to the God King Fiend, and now you're saying it's some kind of Annihilation Force..."

Most importantly, the War Abyss God King wanted to leave a mark on her soul, which was far too much to be possible, and Yun Xi neither wanted nor could allow him to do so.

Seeing Yun Xi's wary expression, the War Abyss God King frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Little girl, do you not trust the God King? What the leader of the robes said is true. Your predicament is indeed related to the God King Fiend. The reason why the God King Fiend Gui is confident in putting you in a deadly predicament is because he used the power of annihilation. This power of annihilation comes from the depths of the strange source. It is extremely strange and cannot be resisted by anyone but the God King's peak mark."

Yun Xi was still filled with doubt. She stared intently at the War Abyss God King and said, "Your Highness, it's not that I don't trust you, but planting a mark in my soul is far too significant. Once this mark is planted, if you have any other ideas, I will have no power to resist. I really dare not take the risk lightly."

The leader of the cloaks spoke up from the side, "Your Yun Xi, the War Abyss God King risked his life for the Human God Domain back then. You should trust his character. Moreover, you are now facing a certain death. If you do not plant this Guardian Mark, you may really not be able to escape."

The Chaos God King snorted coldly, "Hmph, who knows if what he said is true or false. Maybe this so-called annihilation power and Guardian Mark are all fabricated by him, with the purpose of controlling this little girl."

The War Abyss God King glared angrily at the Chaos God King, "Stop trying to sow discord here. If the God King wants to control her, there are plenty of ways; there's no need for you to resort to such methods."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly at Yun Xi, because if War Abyss God King planted a mark on Yun Xi's soul, he wouldn't be able to protect her once she was released.

Yun Xi caught Lin Yuan's subtle head-shaking movement, which further solidified her resolve to refuse. She looked directly into War Abyss God King's eyes, her heart filled with a hint of fear for the unknown impending doom, but even more so with determination and resolve.

"Your War Abyss God King Zhanyuan, thank you for your kindness, but I cannot accept this Soul Mark."

The War Abyss God King's face instantly darkened, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe. He exuded a powerful aura and coldly said, "Little girl, you're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. The God-King was kindly helping you, yet you're so ungrateful. Do you think you can fight against that annihilating power on your own? That's utterly delusional!"

Yun Xi faced the pressure of the War Abyss God King without fear. She said, word by word, "I know that my choice may put me in a more dangerous situation, but I cannot put my fate completely in the hands of others. Once the Soul Mark is planted, I will lose the possibility of self-control."

The Chaos God King laughed gleefully from the side, "Haha, this little girl does have some backbone. Zhan Yuan, don't force her anymore."

The War Abyss God King glared angrily at the Chaos God King, "Stop talking nonsense. This is for her own good, and for the future of the Human God Domain. If she dies under that Annihilation Power, it will be a huge loss to our plan to fight against the Abnormal God."

Seeing this, the White-robed Leader quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "My fellow God-Kings, please calm down. Yun Xi has her own considerations. After all, the matter of the Soul Mark is too important. Let's think of other solutions together. Perhaps we can solve the problem without planting the imprint."

Lin Yuan chimed in, "That's right, Yun Xi is someone I want to protect, and I trust her judgment. We should brainstorm now, instead of getting stuck here."

Yun Xi stood still, outwardly calm, but inwardly her emotions were turbulent. She knew all too well that her current situation was extremely dangerous, and every decision she made could affect her life or death.

At this moment, the War Abyss God King proposed to plant Guardian Mark in her soul. This seemed like a life-saving remedy, but in reality, it concealed many unknown risks.

In fact, Yun Xi already had a Soul Mark in her soul, which was planted by the system to protect her.

When she signed the contract with the system, she clearly stipulated that this Soul Mark could only protect her soul and could never be used for any other purpose.

This contract was like a solid bulwark, providing her with a certain degree of protection when facing crises on a spiritual level.

However, the War Abyss God King was completely different from the others. There was no direct contract between her and the War Abyss God King; all the constraints were based on the contract she signed with the White-robed Leader, and the validity of this contract depended on the War Abyss Clan to which the White-robed Leader belonged.

Yun Xi knew clearly that if the War Abyss God King wanted to achieve his own goals and was willing to do anything to plant a mark on her soul, even disregarding the life and death of the War Abyss Clan, then she would have no ability to resist.

After all, War Abyss God King, as a god-king, possessed unfathomable strength, and she was as insignificant as an ant in his presence.

Yun Xi pondered to herself that the entity behind the system must possess extraordinary abilities and a mysterious background. Even the system could not resist the Annihilation Power, so she found it hard to believe that the so-called Soul Mark of the War Abyss God King could have such a miraculous effect.

In her view, this was likely just an excuse from the War Abyss God King; his true aim might be to reclaim the opportunity to merge with the Eternal Opportunity within her soul.

At this moment, the War Abyss God King still kept his eyes fixed on Yun Xi, his gaze revealing a hint of unyielding strength.

He spoke again, his voice low and authoritative. "Little girl, you should think this through. Once this Annihilation Power descends, you will have absolutely no chance to resist. The Soul Mark of the King is your only hope for survival. If you miss this opportunity, you will surely die."

Yun Xi sneered inwardly, but her face remained impassive. She replied politely yet firmly, "Your Highness, War Abyss God King, I appreciate your kindness. However, I trust my own judgment. Matters concerning the soul are far too important for me to take lightly."

The War Abyss God King Abyss's face grew increasingly grim, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze in his rage. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "Hmph, you little brat, you're utterly stubborn. You think you can escape this inevitable death? When the Annihilation Power truly arrives, you'll regret your decision today."
