Giving Away a Daughter Is Not Scientific

Augulas looked at his unconscious daughter in Isabella's arms, then fixed Chen Rui with a piercing gaze. "There is a trace of a spiritual imprint within Oliphis that contains the power of laws. This power is extremely strong and can steadily increase her strength, but it will also make her lose her own consciousness. Do you know what is going on?"

Of course Chen Rui knew. He himself had once received such a spiritual imprint. If not for the miraculous effect of dual cultivation, he would already have lost consciousness and become some mysterious powerhouse's puppet.

Seeing Chen Rui's expression, Augulas's aura immediately turned sharp. "Who was it?"

Strange. Had that little black dragon not told her father about Sekeruid Mountain? After a brief hesitation, Chen Rui gave the answer. "Sekeruid Mountain. Satan."

"It was actually him!" Augulas shuddered and drew a deep breath. "No wonder whenever I questioned Oliphis, she could never speak his name. It must have been the eruption of that spiritual imprint, restricting her memories! I never imagined that the one who took Lena in back then was Satan! In that case, Lena must have given Satan the Lanye Scepter as the price for sheltering her."

Lena should have been Oliphis's mother's name. Chen Rui could tell that Augulas knew Satan, so he cautiously asked, "Could it be that even with Your Majesty's strength, you cannot remove the effects of this imprint?"

"Satan's strength is unfathomable. Back then, when I had just become a demigod, I thought nothing of anyone and overestimated myself enough to challenge him. The result was a crushing defeat." Augulas revealed a rare bitter smile. "Now, I have only vaguely touched the edge of a godhead, while that spiritual imprint carries the aura of a pseudo-god—and a rather powerful pseudo-god at that!"
