"No matter how this ends, I'll rebuild your body and give you a world of your own, so you'll have a chance to step into Concept Logic."
Li Qing's plan was simple. After hearing it, Xia Tongshen made a few quick calculations and came to a decision.
They struck palms, leaving behind their spiritual imprints. The Primordial Chaos Contract burned silently, and a mysterious power connected them.
A strand of Xia Tongshen's fundamental consciousness flowed into it and took the form of a radiant figure.
The projection of Li Qing's Divine Body nodded. "Good. I'm leaving. Be careful—their orders should arrive soon."
Xia Tongshen's expression turned grave. "All right."
Xia Tongshen withdrew his consciousness. The speck of dust on his hand slipped away without a sound, and he looked toward the place where the Mysterious Unknown was being hunted and hemmed in.
His heart gave a slight jolt, and a pensive look crossed his face.
I hope everything goes smoothly. My fate must be mine to control.
No one wanted to become someone else's puppet. No one wanted to become someone else's tool.
Resolve filled Xia Tongshen's eyes. He would never allow himself to fall so far.
In another direction, Yun Shenglong also received a message from Li Qing.
He, too, was turned without exception.
He signed a Primordial Chaos Contract with Li Qing. He had no wish to die so easily, reduced to cannon fodder with no say in his own fate.
Li Qing had brought both Children of Destiny into his grasp. He had planned all of this long ago.
The Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation plan, working alongside the plan to attack from within and without, was almost certain to plunge the last two Children of Destiny into the same crisis.
Neither victory nor defeat would be theirs
