Mutual Devouring!
"Only by merging our consciousnesses can we survive, understand, kid? It's us!"
Upon hearing Feren Barge's voice, Li Heng suddenly opened his eyes.
Before him lay a dark pool of water, and he stood on it, while Feren Bage watched him from the opposite side.
Do you really want to die?
"In no mood."
"Then you should listen to me, hand everything over to me, and together we will avenge Lilith for deceiving you with blood and teeth!"
Li Heng looked at Feren Bage and said, "Lilith? She saved me twice. At most, I still owe her a life, so I'm still the one who came out on top."
"But if I can live, I don't want to die."
"So, what would happen if you ate me?"
Feren laughed. "What else can I do? I'm already dead. You'll just be you, except you have my memories and a little bit of my thoughts added to you."
"I will not replace you, much less take your place. Believe me, this will not do you any harm."
Li Heng looked at Feren, "Do you know what it means to accept someone's memories and thoughts?"
"It may seem like a fusion of consciousness, or simply accepting a memory, but in reality, it is about turning yourself into another person."
"A person's personality is largely determined by their memories. If a child is born into a dysfunctional family, the influence of their environment will cause their personality to become distorted as well."
"If he were to experience the memories of a child from a happy family at this point, it would be as if he were reliving his childhood, and even his life."
"If you add that person's innate personality, that person is no longer the same person they were before."
Feren Bage said, "Perhaps it is as you say, but what's wrong with that?"
"Knowing more and seeing more is always a good thing; it will only make you stronger and more perfect."
Li Heng looked at Ba Zhi and said, "As the ancient sages said: 'What is crooked will become straight, what is bent will become upright, what is low will be filled, what is worn out will be renewed, what is little will be gained, and what is much will be confused.'"
"It means that compromise can preserve life, detours can lead to the direct path, low-lying areas can become full, the old can give rise to the new, taking less can lead to more, and greed can lead to confusion."
"You know, sometimes getting more isn't necessarily a good thing."
Upon hearing this, Feren laughed and said, "Then your saints are quite prescient."
"However, I agree more with the first two sentences; you can now compromise."
Li Heng held up one finger. "I think this should be for you."
Feren Bage frowned. "Do you really think that you are stronger than me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Heng suddenly appeared in front of Feren Bage and grabbed him by the neck. "When I used to run with people, very few could outlast me."
"Unless they are physically stronger than me, I will take that step even if my body allows me to go one more step."
"The physical differences I have are not something I can overcome overnight, but in terms of willpower, I am second to none."
Feren was instantly enraged, and the two consciousnesses began to devour each other.
As ripples spread across the calm lake surface, Feren Bage's body slowly submerged into the pool.
"By doing this, you've destroyed the glimmer of hope that Lilith spoke of. You will die, you will definitely die!"
"Li Heng!!"
Thump.
Water splashed up, Feren Bage ultimately lost this battle of wits.
Li Heng gazed at the light emerging from the darkness on the lake's surface. "I think this isn't the glimmer of hope Lilith spoke of."
"The blood moon is the only glimmer of hope."
Call.
As the darkness dissipated, Li Heng opened his eyes.
The blood-red moon hung in the sky, and at that moment, he gained all of Feren Bage's memories and abilities.
He killed Feren Bage's sense of self.
Through Feren Bage's memories, Li Heng understood the fundamental meaning of cannibalism.
That is, different consciousnesses fighting within the body, and the conflict between consciousnesses can cause the body to collapse in an instant.
Under normal circumstances, the two consciousnesses cannot clash, because if they do, the body will be completely destroyed.
Therefore, those Blood Clan who cannibalize each other choose to ignore these consciousnesses, thus causing scurvy, a condition known as Bad Blood Disease.
But the Blood Moon provided Li Heng with an opportunity for a battle of wits.
No matter how their consciousnesses collide, Blood Moon will repair his body.
If he could defeat Feren Bach in the battle of wits, he could completely cure the necrosis and be promoted to prince, which was the glimmer of hope that Lilith was talking about.
But what if he loses?
What awaits him then, neither Li Heng nor Feren Bage nor Lilith knows.
Because they have never experienced this situation before.
But in any case, it's better than Feren Bage being fully recovered.
Li Heng looked up and saw that the Blood Clan in the sky were gathering like flocks of birds, fighting against someone.
One of the Blood Clan and an angel with a hundred wings on his back are fighting.
The scale of their battle was terrifying, almost devastating.
It is estimated that he is the so-called true ancestor of the Blood Clan.
Li Heng did not join the battle; instead, he put on his hood and turned to leave.
Whether it was Lilith or the Blood Clan, none of this had anything to do with him.
An accident embroiled him in the conflicts of the Blood Clan; perhaps what he gained was often accompanied by some loss.
This was inevitable.
Then let's give it up...
Li Heng walked through the city's alleyways, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Mom, I'm going home in a couple of days. I'm not going to study anymore."
"Don't be so naive! Come back right now. It's too dangerous abroad. It's much better and safer here!"
Boom!!
The angel grabbed the ancestor's head and threw him into a building, causing the entire building to collapse!
An angel descended from the sky and crushed the True Ancestor's head with a single stomp!
But the True Ancestor turned around and the headless figure moved on its own. His blood spread and enveloped the angel's body, and then pierced the Angel's Heart at the same time!
But suddenly a burst of flames erupted from the Angel's Heart, instantly incinerating all the blood that was coming at him!
At the same time, he turned around and kicked the True Ancestor in the back!
Bump!
The True Ancestor's body flew out again, passing through countless walls and crashing into a car!
The True Ancestor's body healed instantly, and he stretched his limbs and stood up.
"I can't get hurt, this is really troublesome."
Angels' abilities counter Blood Clan; the blood of the True Ancestors cannot harm the angels' bodies, and angels cannot kill the True Ancestors in their Blood Moon state.
It can be said that the fight between the two had no real significance other than shattering the city.
Meanwhile, Nairasojin and his group were already struggling to deal with these Blood Clan.
Fan Ye kept putting the Blood Clan into a deep sleep, but this had already reached the limit of his ability.
All he can do now is put the person in front of him to sleep, then the person who was sleeping will wake up, he will fall asleep again, and then someone else will wake up, and so on and so forth.
But this doesn't solve anything; it only delays things.
But there's no other way if we don't delay; these Blood Clan are practically invincible in their Blood Moon state!
We have to find a way to break this deadlock!
