When Di Nian Evil Spirit asked what exactly had just happened,
Evil Eye fell silent, pondering for several seconds.
"Maybe I watched a thirty-second ad just now, so I successfully revived."
Di Nian: "..."
"Do you think you're funny? You're still feeding me Player jokes at a time like this?" Di Nian couldn't help clenching his fists, sorely tempted to turn around and punch Evil Eye square in the eyeball.
After experiencing the despair of death and annihilation, followed by resurrection, he was now filled with questions.

Realizing Di Nian was serious, Evil Eye dropped the flippant attitude and waved its tentacles as it began reasoning in earnest. "Since your resurrection involved a Demon God, we obviously can't obtain the answer directly. But the projection of the Demon God will left us some information before departing. That deity explicitly mentioned that your choice was also a path they had once walked."
"So my guess is that the Supreme Demon God thought you were special, that you were just like their former self. That's why they made an exception and erased your old standardized shell, reforging a completely new Monarch body that belonged solely to you and giving you a chance to keep going."

Dark Tide energy circulated more smoothly. Even Evil Eye's appearance had changed slightly, with many flickering spirit runes appearing across its body.
"Can you determine which Demon God intervened?"
Evil Eye shook its head again. "There's no way to verify it, but I have reason to believe it was the one who granted you the right to exceed authority
