Hearing her words:
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu remained expressionless and said:
You're mistaken; I never intended to threaten you.
oh?
Zhang Yanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
What makes you think I'll definitely do business with you?
Is there something about you that I absolutely must have?
Chen Qingyu spoke calmly, uttering two words:
free.
Zhang Yanqing suddenly sat up straight, her expression changing slightly:
What do you mean?
She could keenly sense that Chen Qingyu's name was not just empty words, but rather a sign that he had noticed her true predicament.
This inevitably left her with some doubts and uncertainties.
Although you hold a high position in the Sage Evolution Palace, you're already under Wu Chenkong's control, right?
Chen Qingyu did not answer, but instead asked:
He values you so much, he must have his reasons.
I don't know exactly what he wants to do, but if it happens, your fate will be terrible.
We can infer this from the scene where the conflict between the two erupted:
Zhang Yanqing had tried to negotiate, but Wu Chenkong refused and severely reprimanded her, his attitude being extremely cold.
This also indirectly confirms:
Zhang Yanqing's existence was so important to his plans that he had an extremely strong desire for control and could not tolerate the slightest change.
Zhang Yanqing's expression darkened upon hearing his words:
What exactly are you trying to say?
Chen Qingyu emphasized, and said in a deep voice:
You are in the Divine Void Heaven and Earth, under his constant surveillance, and you have absolutely no chance to resist him!
And now, the only opportunity is right in front of you.
Only by relying on me will you have a chance to break free from his control and threats and gain true freedom in the future!
How about it?
Dare to make this deal with me and gamble on the future?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanqing immediately fell silent, her brows furrowing deeply.
She understood what Chen Qingyu meant:
This is a transaction, and also a gamble.
She knew very well that the reason Chen Qingyu approached her and risked everything to communicate with her was because he wanted some classified information that she possessed.
On one side of the scale lies crucial intelligence, and on the other, her future.
Only if she helps Chen Qingyu by providing crucial classified information will Chen Qingyu promise to give her freedom in the future.
I'm sorry, but I cannot agree to that.
Chen Qingyu waited a moment, but unexpectedly received a rejection from Zhang Yanqing.
Why?
He frowned inwardly, wanting to find out the reason.
The reason is simple.
Zhang Yanqing remained expressionless, her voice completely unwavering within the shroud of her divine sense.
You can't help me, and nobody can help me.
Unless that person is willing to grant me my freedom personally, or the Great Void Primal Spirit returns, no one can save me.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu immediately spoke up:
If you give up on yourself and act recklessly, that's giving up on the last glimmer of hope!
Nothing in this world is absolute!
I've heard those three words far too many times. "Impossible."
Since you believe you have no chance of being saved, and it's already a dead end, why not take the plunge this time?
After hearing his words, Zhang Yanqing pursed her lips and remained silent.
After a long while:
She suddenly burst out laughing:
I admit, you've convinced me.
You're right. Since I'm already at my wit's end, why be afraid to take a gamble?
Anyway, I have nothing left to lose.
Her sister was already dead, and she had also single-handedly destroyed the Yanggu Zhang Clan; she had no more attachments.
She didn't mind risking her future.
I agreed to this deal.
very good!
A sense of joy immediately welled up in Chen Qingyu's heart.
His efforts were worthwhile; he finally persuaded the woman and gained the opportunity to obtain some crucial information!
Young Master Chen.
Before he could speak, Zhang Yanqing used her divine sense to cover the surroundings and whispered:
You want the information I have, right?
Tell me, what information do you want? I can tell you anything I know.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu immediately spoke up:
I want to know, what exactly is your relationship with Wu Chenkong?
You mean the Holy One?
Zhang Yanqing sighed, her expression calm:
I am his successor.
Successor?
Chen Qingyu was caught off guard by the answer, and his mind was in turmoil.
Zhang Yanqing is actually Wu Chenkong's successor?
Doesn't that mean she is the true next ruler of the Divine Void Small World, and the next Saint Emperor of the Great Cang Divine Kingdom?
That's not right!
Chen Qingyu suddenly realized what was happening and said in a deep voice:
Wu Chenkong has lived for 100,000 years and served Saint Emperor for 100,000 years. How could he possibly let you succeed him?
This Great Cang Divine Kingdom, with its three layers of heaven and earth, is the source of his Human Dao Dragon Qi and the foundation for maintaining his strength!
Zhang Yanqing sighed softly:
Young Master Chen, you've misunderstood.
What I am to take over is not the position of the ruler of the Great Cang Divine Kingdom, but the position of the Great Void Primal Spirit!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was immediately jolted!
You, you mean...
Yes, just as you think.
Zhang Yanqing said frankly:
I'll tell you directly, but you might not understand, so I'll start from the beginning.
The Great Void Primal Spirit wanted to reincarnate, but it did not want to give up its great power and allow its original body to decay, so it devised a plan.
It first found a scapegoat from the outside world, cultivated him into Saint King level person, and finally replaced him as a False Primal Spirit to serve as a medium to maintain the existence of the Great Void Might.
In this way, even if he is reincarnated, the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror will not be destroyed; once it returns, it can easily regain its former power by relying on the backup plan it left behind.
Wu Chenkong was the unfortunate scapegoat.
She paused for a moment before continuing:
However, while the plan was good, it was extremely difficult to implement.
Every soul is unique, but what the Great Void Primal Spirit wants to find is a soul that has an extremely high degree of compatibility with it, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
The probability of this is no less than finding a needle in a haystack or a pearl in the desert; the odds are extremely slim.
It searched for tens of thousands of years across the entire Desolate Continent, and only with its long Lifespan did it finally find Wu Chenkong. Overjoyed, it immediately brought him back to the Divine Void Small World to nurture him.
With its methods, it didn't care about talent or physical attributes; it used its ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous to push him all the way to the realm of Saint King.
Of course, this wasn't out of kindness; it was to fatten the pig before slaughtering it.
Before reincarnation, it erases all consciousness from the successor, turning them into a mere puppet, dull and lifeless, a pure tool to maintain the existence of the Great Void Might.
