Almost Fell for It!
Meng Qing's eyes were purple; he was currently peering into a scene from the past.
Within the palace, surrounded by a blue light resembling stars, the blue radiance rose like a galaxy.
A full moon hung in the center of the hall, as if it were brewing something.
Shortly after, the blue full moon shattered with a crack, and a figure with long, light blue hair appeared in Meng Qing's field of vision.
When Meng Qing tries to understand cause and effect, he will inevitably adopt the protagonist's perspective.
Just as he had previously adopted Lin Feng's perspective, now he was adopting Qin Leng's perspective.
Surrounded by blue starlight, the blue figure slowly turned around and met Meng Qing's eyes...
Sizzle.
Just then, the purple light in Meng Qing's eyes suddenly went out, and he snapped back to his senses to hear Mystra's voice in his ear.
"How's it going?"
Upon hearing Mystra's voice, Meng Qing covered his right eye with his hand. "The connection... why was it cut off?"
Mystra floated up, came to Meng Qing, removed Meng Qing's right hand, and then cupped his cheeks with both hands.
"Didn't you really feel it?"
"Seth, your eyes..."
Eye?
Meng Qing looked puzzled. He had just felt something strange in his right eye, but other than that, he hadn't felt anything else.
Seeing this, Mystra waved her hand, and the Magic Web was manipulated, the energy gathering in front of Meng Qing to form a mirror.
Meng Qing was stunned when he saw the mirror.
"My eyes?"
Meng Qing reached out and touched his right eye. For some reason, the pupil of his right eye had turned into the shape of a heart. Why was that?
What just happened?
To be honest, Meng Qing's attention was entirely on the blue-haired woman just now.
He tried his best to see the woman's face clearly, but his gaze was drawn to her eyes and he couldn't look away.
When one of his pupils turned into a heart, Mystra sensed something was wrong and quickly severed the connection between them.
Although Mistra severed the link in time, Meng Qing still saw the woman's eyes.
In just a moment, just a side profile, Meng Qing's right eye changed.
Strangely enough, Meng Qing did not sense anything unusual. He felt no Mental Contamination whatsoever.
What's most puzzling is that what Meng Qing saw was more like a replay, lacking the ability to recreate the events of that time.
Unless, of course, this is a meme.
Only memes can spread in this way. For example, 007's singing voice can be recorded by any recording software and have the same effect.
Was that just now also a meme?
The effect of its meme is that it can mentally control someone simply by making eye contact with them.
To be honest, this was the first time Meng Qing had encountered such a situation.
To almost be killed while watching a flashback seems a bit exaggerated, doesn't it?
Mystra looked at Meng Qing with concern, "How are you feeling now? Is anything bothering you?"
Meng Qing shook his head. He didn't notice anything unusual; everything seemed perfectly normal.
But the more normal it seemed, the more abnormal Meng Qing felt.
Judging from his pupils, he should have been infected, but why didn't he feel anything after being infected?
"Perhaps the biggest problem is that there is no problem."
Maybe I should go see Qin Leng... No, no, that blue-haired woman might be right next to Qin Leng.
Meng Qing shook his head. "It's possible that because you severed the link in time, the other party's meme didn't fully activate, so I don't feel anything unusual right now."
These words were only meant to comfort Mistra; Meng Qing had no real confidence in them.
Mystra breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "That's good..."
"Seth, let's not use this ability anymore. It's too dangerous. Anyway, there are other ways to get information."
Meng Qing nodded; for him, there was indeed more than one way to obtain information.
It seems we still have to resort to that tactic.
Upon hearing this, Meng Qing closed his eyes, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.
Mystra didn't disturb him, but just watched quietly from the side.
She knew that Meng Qing was asleep.
And once he starts sleeping, he'll probably sleep for three days and three nights.
Mystra waited quietly until three days later when Meng Qing opened his eyes and said, "007 has evolved."
"With strength reaching the fifth rank, she is the person behind Qin Leng. Isis concealed her abilities from Ancestor Dragon, and they took away the corpse of the Golden King."
Hearing Meng Qing's words, Mystra was taken aback. "So I've always been curious, is this also one of your abilities?"
Meng Qing: "Sort of, but you're the first to know."
Mystra: "Am I the only one who knows?"
Meng Qing: "That's right, only you know this, so you have to keep this secret for me."
Mystra nodded repeatedly, "Mhm."
Meng Qing didn't finish his sentence; the information he received was far more than that.
"It seems they have all realized the benefits of the Magic Web. I believe it won't be long before 009 turns around and uses the Magic Web against us."
Mystra: "Then I'll have the Magic Web reject them?"
Meng Qing put on the mask. "No need. It's better to give them some hope than to let them get so angry that they give up and ruin everything."
"For now, don't refuse anyone the use of the Magic Web. At least make them believe that the Magic Web is infinitely inclusive, and it would be best to make them dependent on Magic Web."
As a sixth-tier Saint, Mystra's abilities were all sealed, and the only ability she could use was the Magic Web.
As mentioned before, the essence of the Magic Web is actually leveraging external forces.
It is the power of Mystra that all beings borrow from it, and Mystra can choose to lend more power to whom or not to whom, which is the so-called opening and closing of the Magic Web.
For Meng Qing, Mystra could naturally lend Meng Qing all her power without reservation.
However, for others who want to use the Magic Web, they can only borrow power up to the fourth level.
Even at the fourth tier, it is still quite revolutionary.
So far, everyone has more or less a few trump cards hidden in their hands that could turn the tide.
Meng Qing and Mystra's trump card is the power of the Magic Web.
Of course, the main point is not to restrict others from using magic, but that they can mass-produce high-level mages.
Their country has two kings, similar to the Twin Kings of the Sea.
These two kings can borrow a very high level of power, namely the power of the fifth level of the Magic Web.
However, while they can borrow the power of the fifth rank, they are just ordinary people, and they cannot utilize or transform this power like those of the ranks.
They need higher-level magical knowledge; they need fifth-tier magical knowledge.
Currently, all their magic is taught by Meng Qing.
They are known as the Magic King, the managers of the Magic Web under the Goddess of Magic, Mystra, or simply the Demon King.
It is said that the two Demon Kings are both male and live in different places, but no one knows exactly where they are.
In addition to the two Demon Kings, each Sky City also has a Great Sage.
Great Sage can unleash the strongest fourth-tier magic, which is the peak of the fourth tier. Below that, there are countless other ranks.
In terms of overall strength, Meng Qing and Mystra's empire has already shown the momentum to overtake the Dragon Empire Alliance.
Ultimately, Mystra was a sixth-order Saint Realm expert, and the power she brought was far too great, exceeding Ye Long's expectations.
This is also what 009 is worried about. He can still deal with Ye Long's children, but when Meng Qing's magic army arrives, 009 can only avoid their sharp edge.
If his true form could participate, it would be fine, but now that he is a fifth-tier cultivator and cannot participate, with all his abilities sealed, it's very troublesome.
Although it's possible to possess other sequences, those other sequences will die, and when they die, they're truly dead.
So, 009 softened his heart.
Otherwise, when they killed the Golden King, they would have had to fight against Ye Long and Meng Qing's army.
