Deputy Provincial Governor Ye Yongsheng Falls

No!

There's no way to break free!

The difference in strength is too great!

What to do?!

What should I do now?!

Lin Zichen frantically scanned his surroundings while his mind raced, desperately trying to find a way to escape.

At this moment, he was completely held in Ye Yongsheng's massive hand and could not move.

If they cannot escape in time, they will soon be possessed by Ye Yongsheng.

The situation is extremely critical.

With the blessing of [Heavenly Human Wisdom Root].

Soon.

Lin Zichen's eyes lit up as he thought of a way to escape.

A daring way to escape.

That is -- self-destruction!

The sea beneath our feet is still ablaze with an inextinguishable Crimson Flame.

If I choose to self-destruct and perish amidst this sea of fire, I should be able to trigger the [Rebirth from Fire] Biological Attribute, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The resurrection point after Rebirth from Fire will most likely appear in other places, rather than still in the hands of Ye Yongsheng, that Human Traitor Vice Provincial Governor.

In this way, they can achieve their goal of escaping.

However, these are all just speculations at the moment, and everything is still unknown.

Since no one has ever tried it, no one knows whether one can Rebirth from Fire after self-destruction.

Even if rebirth were possible, whether the respawn point would refresh is still a question.

If it really can refresh, then where it will refresh becomes another question.

Just as Lin Zichen was still hesitating about whether to choose to self-destruct and escape—

Ye Yongsheng, who was holding him with one hand, began to act.

The Human Traitor Deputy City Lord conjured a pitch-black bead out of thin air in front of him with a thought.

The beads are only about the size of a walnut.

The surface is smooth.

It seemed as if a black hole was hidden inside, an absolute darkness.

The moment Lin Zichen saw the bead, he sensed an astonishing Mental Power within it.

The Mental Power contained within this bead is at least at the Mythical Tier.

Is this the tool used to possess me?

Lin Zichen stared at the beads in front of him, his expression solemn.

Opposite.

Ye Yongsheng, who conjured the beads, unusually refrained from uttering even a single unnecessary word.

The moment the bead appeared, he immediately poured his Mental Power into it, beginning to shift his will.

At the same time, he also began to remotely extract Mental Power from Lin Zichen's body, trying to strip away his will and obliterate it into nothingness.

Then, she usurped Lin Zichen's body, using her own will to possess it.

Pain!

It hurts!

It hurts!

The excruciating pain from having his Mental Power extracted contorted Lin Zichen's entire face.

That was an excruciating pain, worse than being pierced through the skin.

Even with his Legendary Tier of Biological Rank, he was in so much pain that he could barely cope.

However, the pain is secondary.

The important thing is that his Mental Power is being rapidly drained from his body. Before long, his body will be reduced to an empty shell, becoming a vessel for possession.

Realizing this, he did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to self-destruct.

Possessed, there is no chance of survival.

Self-destruction offers a glimmer of hope.

This is a multiple-choice question with a definite answer; there is no need to hesitate.

The moment the thought of self-destruction crossed Lin Zichen's mind, his body began to expand rapidly, and the power of his blood and qi within him surged forth like a volcanic eruption.

Upon realizing this, Ye Yongsheng quickly released his Mental Power to suppress Lin Zichen and prevent him from self-destructing.

Under the mental suppression of a Mythical Tier powerhouse.

The blood and qi power that was about to erupt from Lin Zichen's body was instantly suppressed, preventing it from erupting and self-destructing.

Oh no!

Seeing that his self-destruction had been successfully prevented, Lin Zichen's expression changed drastically.

Without self-destruction, there can be no Rebirth from Fire.

Without Rebirth from Fire, one cannot escape Ye Yongsheng's clutches, and the Mental Power deep within one's mind will continue to be extracted until one's will is completely lost.

Finally, he became a soulless, empty shell of flesh and blood, possessed by the Human Traitor Deputy City Lord in front of him.

Self-destruction is not an option...

Are there any other ways to escape?

I definitely can't do it on my own...

Need help?

Who can we ask for help from?

Lin Zichen endured the excruciating pain of his mind being forcibly ripped away, his brain spinning rapidly as he tried to find a way to escape.

However, they couldn't think of any effective way to escape in a short period of time.

Just as nearly half of Lin Zichen's Mental Power was drained from his body, and his will began to become somewhat blurred—

"Ughhhhh--!"

Ye Yongsheng, standing in front of him, suddenly let out a painful scream, forcing him to stop his mental detachment.

Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what had happened.

But these are not the main points.

The key point is that I've escaped Ye Yongsheng's mental oppression and can now run away.

Lin Zichen, realizing what was happening, didn't dare to waste a moment.

He immediately unleashed his full power of energy and spirit, moving away from Ye Yongsheng as quickly as possible.

The direction they fled was directly towards City No. 1.

We need to take Shen Qinghan, who is still in the city, away from this place of trouble.

While fleeing at breakneck speed.

Lin Zichen deliberately dispersed a wisp of his Mental Power to observe Ye Yongsheng's situation behind him.

Let's see what's wrong with this Human Traitor Deputy City Lord.

Why did a sudden, agonizing scream erupt?

As the Mental Power spread backward.

Soon.

Lin Zichen clearly observed Ye Yongsheng's current state, and his brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, Ye Yongsheng's body was growing a large amount of fine down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face, which originally still retained some human characteristics, was becoming more and more beastly.

"Who... who is inside my body..."

"Who is eroding my will...?"

"What on earth is going on...?"

"..."

Upon realizing he was losing control of his body, Ye Yongsheng was filled with terror, not understanding what was happening.

He stared intently at the jet-black bead in front of him, suspecting that it was the bead possessing him.

So, with this doubt in mind, he laboriously raised one of the giant beast's claws, sucked the bead in front of him into his hand, and squeezed it tightly without hesitation—

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

The jet-black bead in Ye Yongsheng's hand shattered into a pile of powder in an instant.

It slipped through his claws.

Scattered with the wind.

The bead shattered, but the will remained.

But what made Ye Yongsheng feel desperate was that his condition showed no signs of improvement and he still had a feeling of being possessed by a foreign life form.

"What happened?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Who is possessing me?!"

Ye Yongsheng's face was filled with terror, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Just a short while ago, he was still possessing Lin Zichen's body.

In the blink of an eye, he was possessed by an unknown life form.

This was unacceptable to him.

"I never imagined I would be revived inside you, a traitor to Earth..."

Suddenly, a gloomy voice echoed deep within Ye Yongsheng's mind.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Yongsheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

It's the Night King's voice!

It's the Night King possessing my body!

Why!

The Night King is Mythical Tier powerhouse, high above all others, looking down upon the world. Why would he want to possess my body, which is only of Legendary Tier?

Etc!

Could it be that the Mythical Tier powerhouse who perished in the Central Region was the Night King?!

At that moment, Ye Yongsheng understood everything.

The Night King perished in the Mythical Tier battle in the Central Region, and I recently fused with a drop of the Night King's Essence Blood, which became the vessel for the Night King's resurrection.

"Lord Night King!"

"I'm just a Legendary Tier ant!"

"The flesh and blood of humans are base beings!"

"My lowly body is utterly unworthy to be a vessel for your will; it would only defile your lofty status!"

"Lin Zichen was just here a moment ago. He didn't run far. You know how special his physical body is; only his body is worthy of your will!"

Ye Yongsheng's voice was filled with a will to survive.

He didn't want his life to end like this.

He is going to evolve into Mythical Tier creature.

To obtain endless lifespan.

He wanted nothing in the world to ever threaten his life again.

To live forever in this world.

To live with an air of superiority.

Faced with Ye Yongsheng's almost humble plea, the Night King, who was rapidly recovering within Ye Yongsheng's body, remained completely unmoved.

After a long while, He spoke in a completely emotionless voice, "You're right, your physical body is indeed unworthy to bear my will."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yongsheng was overjoyed, and the despair on his face vanished instantly.

But before he could rejoice for long, the Night King within him spoke again, "However, before I possess Lin Zichen's body, I must first possess your lowly body."

The moment the words left his mouth, the Night King, who was recovering, suddenly unleashed his Mental Power.

Before Ye Yongsheng could react, it instantly erased all of Ye Yongsheng's will and completely took over Ye Yongsheng's body.

"What a decaying body..."

The Night King, who had completely taken over Ye Yongsheng's body, looked at his current body, which was only at the Tier 1 of Mythical and would soon decline to the Legendary Tier, and his eyes were full of disdain.

I've gotten used to this body for a while now.

Soon.

With a thought, the Night King instantly unleashed his Mental Power.

The scope is vast.

It almost covered the entire Southern Region.

This is the power of Mythical Tier beings.

"They escaped so quickly..."

"In just a short moment, it flew hundreds of miles..."

"Unfortunately, it's still too slow for me..."

The Night King looked at Lin Zichen's direction as if he were an ant, his face full of condescending disdain.

Like Ye Yongsheng, he regarded all creatures below the Mythical Tier as ants.

"It's too bright outside..."

"It's better to be a little darker..."

The Night King looked up at the bright sky, then snapped his fingers crisply.

The moment the sound rang out, the once clear sky instantly darkened.

Most of the Southern Region was plunged into a silent darkness.

This is the Night King's exclusive ability: The Great Dark Heaven.

A unique ability that can instantly turn the sky within its perception range into complete darkness.

A patch of sky hundreds of miles away.

Lin Zichen was frantically unleashing his vital energy and spirit, rushing towards City No. 1 at top speed, intending to take Shen Qinghan from the city and escape this place of trouble.

The enemy he now faces is no longer Ye Yongsheng, whose Biological Rank was previously Legendary Tier.

Instead, it was replaced by a Mythical Tier powerhouse from the Southern Region — the Night King.

Lin Zichen has a very clear understanding of himself.

He knew all too well that no matter how skilled he was at killing opponents of higher levels, he could never cross a whole level to defeat such a Mythical Tier expert.

Therefore, they decisively chose to escape without hesitation.

"Um?"

"What happens?"

"Why is it dark?"

Lin Zichen was flying at high speed when suddenly the entire sky darkened.

The five senses are greatly suppressed.

The range of perception has shrunk again and again.

"Sizzle--!"

Suddenly, a powerful tearing sound rang out from ahead.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Zichen immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Immediately, what came into his view was a huge crack with arcs of electricity flowing through it.

The moment he saw the crack, he became serious, his brows furrowing tightly.

He knew very well what it meant for a rift to suddenly appear out of nowhere in the sky.

This means that a powerful being is breaking through the Void.

Given the current situation and location, apart from the Night King, who possessed Ye Yongsheng and revived himself, there would be no other powerful individual capable of breaking through the Void.

Therefore, the powerful being who has broken through the Void at this moment must be the Night King without a doubt.

Thinking of this, Lin Zichen didn't hesitate at all and quickly swooped down towards the sea below.

Facing a Mythical Tier powerhouse, especially the Night King, the King of the Sky, traveling by land or air would be certain death.

The only possible way to escape is through the waterway below.

"Bang!"

It was accompanied by a deafening bang as the water burst through.

Lin Zichen transformed into a crimson streak of light, instantly crashing into the sea below, splashing up large waves burning with crimson flames.

As soon as he plunged into the sea, Lin Zichen activated his Biological Attribute [Water Fusion Fortune], completely merging with the seawater and sinking into the unfathomable depths at top speed.

Despite his exceptional swimming skills, he lacked the confidence to outswim faster than the Night King in the ocean.

The difference in Biological Rank between the two sides is too great to be bridged simply by the word "skill".

On the sea.

The Night King slowly emerged from the crack, his expression calm and unhurried.

"It even knows to sink rapidly to the bottom of the sea..."

"I must say, quite clever..."

"Unfortunately, the difference in strength is too great; no matter how intelligent one is, it will all be in vain..."

The Night King looked at the sea below, where ripples were spreading, smiled, and then with a wave of his hand, tore open a huge crack in the water with his bare hands.

Then, with a calm expression, he stepped into the depths of the crevice.

Deep in the ocean.

With the blessing of various aquatic Biological Attribute such as [The Water Fusion Fortune], Lin Zichen dived tens of thousands of meters in an instant, leaving the sea surface far behind.

Just when he thought he had dived so deep that he could probably escape the Night King's pursuit—

"Sizzle--!"

A familiar voice rang out.

The next second, a crack with electric arcs on its surface appeared out of thin air in front of him. Then, the Night King, who had possessed Ye Yongsheng's body, slowly walked out of the crack with a powerful aura.
