Zhang Yuanqing now knew where the looping power protecting the bottom of Rebirth Spring came from!
If he had guessed correctly, it was this mysterious item in his hand.
As for which existence this item had come from and what profession it belonged to, he had a fairly solid guess as well.
All of the electronic watch's attributes were question marks, fitting the characteristic of "the unknowable."
Combined with the information leaked by the Cat King Speaker—that "a supreme existence had helped"—as well as what he had learned from his conversation with Vast Heaven, Zhang Yuanqing suspected that the supreme existence who had aided the Demon Lord was Vast Heaven.
A loop capable of affecting demigods had to be power on the level of a deity.
Among the supreme beings of the Orderly Professions, wasn't Vast Heaven the only one left?
Moreover, the loop resembled His rules of "time" and matched the description of "the unknowable." An electronic watch was a timepiece, a symbol of time.
"When I obtained this electronic watch again from the Role Card rewards, the loop's buff must have appeared. Anyone who came into contact with clues linking me to the Demon Lord would fall into the loop.
"This was an insurance policy Vast Heaven had placed on me. If I lost the protection of the Lunar Moon Origin Fragment, Ling Tuo and the Taiyi Sect Master would definitely be able to see through my true identity. At that point, the electronic watch could keep the secret that I was the Demon Lord safe."
Only then could he descend unexpectedly into the instance during the battle for the Solar Origin, awaken the lingering soul within the Solar Origin, and become the Sun Lord.
Otherwise, the Star Lord and Lunar Moon Lord would have killed him long
