The Contingency from Ten Thousand Years Ago

Xu Yuan remained unmoved by the complex emotions in Qi Mei's eyes.

Do the Strange Ghost have emotions? Xu Yuan doesn't know.

But he knew that there was no such thing as love without a reason in this world, and no one would be kind to you for no reason.

Qi's indulgence and all the goodwill he showed him stemmed from the fact that he would eventually become Strange Ghost.

If he were willing to become Strange Ghost, and if he didn't have the antidote ' Reverse Fate Liquid ', when his consciousness was completely transformed into Strange Ghost, perhaps he could truly do as the Strange Ghost Queen said and stay with her until the end of time.

The problem is, given the choice, Xu Yuan doesn't want to become Strange Ghost, much less spend the rest of his life with a monster made of flesh and blood.

This is an unavoidable contradiction.

Therefore,

Meeting Shang Qi's complicated gaze, Xu Yuan replied calmly:

"Because I don't want to become Strange Ghost, and the current state of the world doesn't allow for Strange Ghost."

A soft laugh escaped from Qi's red lips, and a hint of self-mockery, a realization dawning on Li Qingyan's face:

"I see, I think I understand now. There must be something at the bottom of that blood pool, right?"

"."

Xu Yuan did not respond, nor did he try to pull his arm out of the other person's chest.

Because at this very moment, countless hideous and terrifying fleshy tendrils had grown from Qi's pierced chest, firmly fixing his arm inside her body.

Qi looked at Xu Yuan's expression and said quietly:

"So that's how it is. It seems my consciousness and body have indeed been tampered with."

Xu Yuan wasn't in a hurry, because Luo Xiran needed time to prepare, and replied in a low voice:

"You were aware of this before?"

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Qi's eyes:

"The human race imprisoned me for flesh and blood research. This imprisonment lasted for more than ten years. I only remember that the process was very painful, but I have forgotten many of the specific details. Hmm. The only thing I remember is that the human race wanted to use my body to develop the Blood God Stone in order to control me, and this caused an internal strife. However, this internal strife of the human race ended with me becoming the final victor."

Speaking of this,

Qi paused briefly, then looked down at his own body:

"Now it seems that those humans ten thousand years ago, besides controlling the Blood God Stone of my Strange Ghost, must have also developed a potion to resist Strange Ghost transformation?"

"You guessed right, this thing is indeed hidden in a secret chamber beneath the blood pool."

Xu Yuan didn't deny it, then looked at the other person and asked softly with a hint of interest, "But I'm quite curious about something. You've been in the Blood Nest for ten thousand years, and during that time you've never gone to explore the bottom of the Blood Pool?"

Qi shook his head:

"I cannot enter."

Xu Yuan's eyes held a hint of doubt as he sensed Qi's body through the Strange Ghost's telepathic connection:

"The life force within your body has always been overflowing. Once you enter the blood pool, the life force within will cause your consciousness to disappear quickly. But surely you haven't gone down there even once in ten thousand years?"

Qi raised a finger and pointed to his head, his eyes cold. "Two rigid ideas have been implanted in my mind. First, I need two Blood God Stone to break the seal and escape. Second, I must never enter the bottom of the Blood Pool. If Changtian doesn't appear, I probably will never have any hope of escaping from that Underground Palace in this lifetime."

"." Xu Yuan.

Implanted concepts

Why does this sound so familiar?

After a moment's thought, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered that Old Man Luo seemed to have fallen victim to this trick before.

Previously, to ensure his safety, Xu Changge had the demonized Ghost Seven implant the concept of protecting Xu Yuan into Old Man Luo.

I never imagined that such methods existed ten thousand years ago.

However, it seems that these two obviously conflicting ideological imprints were planted by different people.

"Kid, don't even think about it. This kind of technique is called Soul Trace."

As he pondered, Luo Xiran's gentle voice suddenly rang in Xu Yuan's heart:

"I cultivated myself into a spirit and monster, and when my soul shattered, I planted many Soul Trace on Qi. The fact that he immediately went to the bottom of the Blood Pool after obtaining the two Blood God Stone Pendant was just one of them."

"However, it seems that Su Luochen and Tang Wan'er are not stupid either. As they dissipated, they desperately altered the Soul Trace Soul Trace I had planted for Qi."

"."

Well, the sects' siege and destruction of the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion ten thousand years ago really must have driven them crazy.

In this single Underground Palace, even in death, the four saints used their lives to inscribe Soul Trace and scheme against each other, ultimately resulting in a mutual destruction.

No wonder the dynasty was able to rise to power later on.

Upon hearing Luo Xiran's words, Xu Yuan immediately Will Soul to ask:

"Ready?"

Luo Xiran's voice was tinged with laughter:

"Nature."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Qi's voice, tinged with coldness, suddenly rang out:

"Xu Changtian, who are you talking to?!"

Although Will Soul communication is concealed, it can still be detected.

Qi sensed a profound and unforgettable fluctuation of soul intent emanating from the Blood-robed Man before him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"If I said I was Luo Xiran, would you believe me?"

"Luo Xiran?"

Upon hearing this name, a clear hint of amusement flashed in Qi's eyes. "If she is Luo Xiran, then who am I?"

Xu Yuan didn't reply, but just looked at her calmly.

In the silent gaze,

Suddenly, the Black Death Fungal Armor around Xu Yuan's body spread out from under his robes like ants, and in an instant, a fleshy body composed of Fungal Armor condensed beside him.

A dignified woman wearing a lake-blue Fairy-Retaining Dress.

Luo Xiran.

"."

Silent eye contact,

The smile in Qi's eyes gradually faded. Looking at Luo Xiran, a flicker of doubt crossed his phoenix eyes, and he opened his mouth:

"Luo Ben... This Lord Luo... Qi... Luo Xi"

immediately,

Qi Na's ' Li Qingyan ' began to change, with countless bumps and bulges expanding from her flawless body.

In her wavering state of mind, she seemed on the verge of losing her human body.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately asked in his mind:

"Xiran, what's going on?"

"Kid, stop being so disrespectful. Call me senior."

Luo Xiran first spat lightly, then explained, "Ten thousand years ago, in order to make it easier for me to control the final winner, I planted more than one Soul Trace on Qi. Now it seems that Su Luochen and Tang Wan'er failed to completely eliminate the contingency plan I left behind before they died."

As they spoke,

Luo Xiran slightly raised her jade-like hand and placed it on Qi's already collapsing body. She turned her head and said to Xu Yuan leisurely:

"Since you still have this trick up your sleeve, I guess I don't need your help anymore, kid."

"."

I don't need his help.

Upon hearing this,

Xu Yuan felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart. He opened his Spirit Sight and activated his life force to prepare for battle.

But the next moment,

Luo Xiran chuckled, raised her other hand, and flicked Xu Yuan's forehead with a "smack," her eyes crinkling as she smiled:

"You little brat, you're not cute at all. I've told you to stop thinking about such petty things all day, yet you're still so suspicious. What I mean is, you don't need to fight Qi anymore, you idiot."

"." Xu Yuan.

After saying that,

Qi's body disintegrated instantly, with countless pieces of flesh and blood spreading out, only to be absorbed by Luo Xiran in a flash.

Silently, the days and months pass by.

Two days later,

Qi vanished into nothingness in Luo Xiran's hands, utterly powerless to resist.

After doing everything,

Luo Xiran slowly turned her eyes to look at Xu Yuan, who was waiting quietly to the side, and revealed a smiling expression:

"Kid, shall we continue now?"
