Friends or Enemies?

Run!

Without saying a word, the Lord of Dust took a step back, soared into the sky, and flew out of the Sword Abyss!

"Keep him here."

Just then, a mental fluctuation entered Li Heng's mind.

Upon hearing this, Li Heng suddenly turned his head, the mental fluctuations emanating from the giant insect egg behind him.

Without any hesitation, Li Heng's body transformed into a red stream and shot out, directly targeting the rapidly fleeing Lord of Dust!

Seeing this, Meng Xuan turned her head in confusion and looked at the huge insect egg.

"Master... you succeeded?"

As soon as Meng Xuan finished speaking, a pair of pure white hands slowly emerged from the insect egg.

Damn!

The insect egg was torn open, and an exceptionally handsome man walked out of it.

He had fair skin, long black hair, and wore a thin black robe. Judging from his aura, he should be at the zero level.

"You did a great job."

As Chen Mo spoke, he walked to Meng Xuan's side. His human body had an indescribable strangeness about it.

He looks human, his internal organs are human, and his internal and external structure is human no matter how you look at it, but he just doesn't look human.

"This success was hard-won, a result of constant breakthroughs and repeated attempts."

Chen Mo's body is very special. He possesses almost all the special physiques in this cultivation world: Innate Dao Body, acquired Dao body, Lesser Formless Body, and large formless body.

The Geng Metal Physique, the body of Jia Wood, and other heavenly stem bodies.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. What's important is that there are no parasites living in this body.

He was an independent individual, separated from the insect body.

But this doesn't mean Chen Mo abandoned his insect body; rather, he forcibly tore his soul in two.

He still needed the insects to draw energy, but he also wanted to sever his connection with them. So he tore his own soul apart and created a flawless human body.

His insect body has reached the first level of the sixth rank through the Power of Evolution, and is currently dormant deep in the earth's core, becoming the earth's core.

Having lost both legs, Meng Xuan struggled to clasp his hands in a fist and said, "Congratulations... congratulations, Master, on achieving a divine body. With that, my mission is complete..."

Chen Mo looked at Meng Xuan and said, "There's no need to say that. You've made a great contribution. Once my strength has recovered further, I'll let you advance to the sixth rank."

Meng Xuan thanked him again, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master."

Chen Mo shifted his gaze to the hole above the Sword Abyss. He had anticipated being devoured by his own creation since the first time he obtained the Evolution Chapter.

This is not just a possibility, it is a certainty.

He did come up with a solution: as long as there are constant conflicts between the sequences, such as balancing the factional struggles in the court, they will restrain each other and reduce the risk of turning against their master.

In fact, Chen Mo did just that.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a figure plummeted from the sky and crashed into the ground!

The Lord of Dust collapsed, severely injured. Li Heng followed closely behind, stepping on the Lord of Dust and pinning him down in front of Chen Mo.

He glanced at Chen Mo, then at Meng Xuan beside him, and then knelt down on one knee. This feeling... I see.

Is Meng Xuan just bait? That's certainly my god's style.

"Welcome back to our god."

Chen Mo looked into Li Heng's eyes, stared at him for a long time, and then looked away.

"You did a great job."

As Chen Mo spoke, his gaze focused on the Lord of Dust.

"Do you still recognize me, 048?"

The Lord of Dust stiffly raised his head. "Lord, God, I... I was just momentarily blinded by greed. You... you shouldn't... hold me accountable, right?"

"Just like... just like before, you've always been so generous, we..."

Chen Mo frowned. "Us?"

"Who's with you or us?"

"I created you, and now it is time for you to pledge your loyalty."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Dust quickly replied, "Lord God, of course I am willing to be loyal to you. My loyalty is beyond doubt, and in fact, I have been eager to do so for a long time!"

Chen Mo reached out, and golden light shone on the Lord of Dust. "Then you will become my first sacrifice to restore my power."

Offerings?

What?!

That light is the refining power of the Evolution Chapter?!

The Lord of Dust instantly became agitated, "God... God, spare me! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

"I'll never dare to do it again, God... God, I'll do anything you ask, even go through fire and water, I'll do it all without complaint, just please spare my life!!"

"No, no, I don't want to die!"

"Master, Master!!"

The Lord of Dust continued to wail, while Li Heng silently suppressed him, allowing the golden light released from Chen Mo's hand to refine the Lord of Dust's body.

Chen Mo's eyes revealed ruthlessness, without a trace of hesitation or pity, only indifference.

"Your power, your life, everything you have is given to you by me. The mere thought of being my enemy is enough to make you pay with ten thousand lives."

"Now, I'm going to take back everything I gave you."

"048, this serial number has been removed from the list."

The Lord of Dust desperately reached out to grab Chen Ye, "No... I've done so much for you, and just because I made one mistake, you're so heartless..."

Bump!

Before he finished speaking, the body of the Lord of Dust transformed into countless golden rays and condensed into a pill in Chen Mo's hand.

"Betrayal is either zero times or countless times; once is enough to be a reason for your death."

Chen Mo held the pill behind his back and said, "From now on, I don't want to hear any more ambiguous answers."

"If you're not a friend, you're an enemy."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng, the God of the Red Flow, said again, "I can guarantee that my brother and I have never had the slightest thought of betrayal. We have always firmly believed that you are still alive."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo looked at Lu Cun and Xu Qingyi, who were being ignored.

I wasn't talking about you.

"Take another look, Qin Leng?"

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, a crack appeared in the space in front of him, and a dark figure suddenly walked out of the crack!

Standing nearly four meters tall, with a giant-like physique, a huge robe covering his body, and sharp demon horns.

Call!

With the demon's cloak billowing, the enormous figure knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Mo!

"Congratulations, Lord God, on your triumphant return."

Chen Mo gazed at the demon, whose size was several times his own, and said softly:

"Kill me."

Chen Mo's words made Qin Leng frown. "This subordinate dares not."

Chen Mo grinned, "I am but a mortal, while you are at the peak of the Saint Realm. Killing me only requires a breath, it's very simple."

"With the spatial abilities you inherited from the Grim Reaper, Red Stream can't stop you, and neither can I. No one here can stop you."

"So don't hesitate, kill me."

Upon hearing this, Qin Leng lowered his head deeply. "You don't need to test me. I already sensed 079's existence long ago."

"I know what 079's existence means. It means that you were not reborn. You just traveled from the past to the future."
