All these drawbacks result in only one thing: trapping oneself in an endless Samsara!
So this is definitely not a dead loop, otherwise it would be too shameless.
For a non- King Level life form to trap a King Level being with just a single secret technique, while the technique might be considered powerful for a short time, its ability to trap a King-level being for an extended period, even permanently, goes beyond power; it's downright shameless.
This is a game world, and its settings often prioritize balance more than the real world, so it's highly unlikely that something so shameless would appear.
Looking at the other's annoying smile, the Quefeng quickly thought of a weakness, knowing that his time was running out.
He is Samsara being, but those around him are not. Moreover, once the surrounding area collapses, the other party will definitely know that he has fallen into Samsara, and his advantage in memory will no longer exist.
We must find the flaws as soon as possible.
As a top-tier individual who had fought his way through countless Reincarnator, he managed to maintain composure in crucial moments, carefully considering the current situation.
The other party appeared so brazenly in front of me that she was definitely not someone I could kill easily. I had already tried to kill her; it was pointless. She would simply enter the Samsara and reappear around me. What's worse, she would lose her stamina after entering the Samsara. It would be better for me to enter the Samsara with her.
But if killing her doesn't break this Samsara, how can it be broken?
Time ticked by, and despite countless calculations in his mind, he still couldn't find an answer. Cold sweat began to bead on Quefeng forehead as he sensed the gradual collapse of the imperial army around him, and anxiety finally gripped him.
Am I going to die here?
In truth, even if his bloodline were gone now, he wouldn't fare too badly Samsara into the second era of Spiritual Energy Revival. However, this life is different. His soul is incomplete, and if he Samsara, he would be in a weak era, and White Phoenix would definitely come looking for him.
He definitely didn't want to experience a situation where he was the prey and the other was the hunter.
what to do?
What should we do?
"It seems you've given up, Senior." Ziyue's cold voice rang out again. "How many cycles has it been before Samsara? But giving up is only natural. Senior can't afford to keep going like this. Perhaps I could offer you some advice?"
"What?" The short-statured Quefeng looked up at the other party.
"Senior, why don't you surrender?" Ziyue said with a smile.
"Surrender?"
"Yes," Ziyue said earnestly, "Anyway, Senior wasn't particularly loyal to that woman, right? The only thing you're bound by is each other's magic. How about you surrender now, and I'll guarantee your survival?"
"Why should I believe you?" Quefeng frowned.
"I can cast a spell," Ziyue laughed. "A spell will ensure your survival, and if you die, I will die with you. How about that?"
"But you also said that I made a pact with that woman. If I betray her, I will die too, won't I?"
"No." Ziyue shook her head. "You will enter Samsara, but that technique is incomplete and doesn't include Samsara, right?"
"Oh?"
The Quefeng's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected this, that she could use the time Samsara to remove the spell.
The technique is a one-time event; once it activates on one's own body, it will not occur a second time. After Samsara, one's life remains, but the technique is gone, which is equivalent to being freed from that woman's control.
It sounds like it's feasible.
"I'm quite curious," the Quefeng, looking at the other person, "Are you Ancient Demon, or Reincarnator?"
"Does that matter?" Ziyue asked, squinting.
"Of course it's important!" Quefeng sneered, "If it's Ancient Demon, I'll follow you, but if it's Reincarnator, then you're definitely still with Chen Qing, right? White Phoenix is still with you. If I follow you, whose side will you take? The two of us can never coexist."
Ziyue: "."
"I'm quite curious too."
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a deep voice suddenly rang out. Ziyue looked over, but Quefeng did not turn around.
Even if he hadn't yet broken the King Level seal, the Emperor couldn't have approached him silently; he had sensed it several breaths ago.
However, he was curious whether the other person had recovered by the time they arrived.
The Yin Crow Flame can quickly weaken the bloodline of King Level. Without resistance, it can create a seal that causes them to regress to below the King Level. However, the pain is terrifying. It's not that Quefeng hasn't experienced torment before, but just thinking about how her internal organs were burned by the Yin Crow Flame makes her shudder.
That kind of pain, which completely invades the bone marrow and nerves, and amplifies the pain in every pore of the body, is far more terrifying than being skinned, having tendons pulled, or being tortured by poison.
He considered himself quite resilient to have endured the pain without fainting, given his willpower. He recuperated for three full days afterward before he could barely regain his mobility. But what's wrong with this guy? He's already showing off right after being sealed away?
At this moment, the emperor of the Xiao Household looked quite pale, but for some reason, his aura was not weak at all. No one who saw him thought he was at his last gasp, including the Quefeng already knew about the side effects.
"My chief sorcerer," the emperor said, looking at Ziyue with a smile, "Don't you recognize me?"
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Ziyue paused for a moment, but didn't hesitate for long before performing the proper courtly greeting.
Regardless of the truth back then, it is true that she made her living under his control. It is also true that the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty supported her for more than 20 years and provided her with protection for 20 years. Before that, the only person who could provide her with such protection for so long was the King of Qin.
"It's good that you still acknowledge me, my dear minister." The emperor nodded. "I just want to ask one question: Was your firm opposition to the King of Qin's worship of demons and your secret compromise that allowed high-level demons to continue treating humans as food a mere act for me?"
Ziyue fell silent upon hearing this.
Back then, the King of Qin was only one step away from ending the chaos in the world. The Heavenly Moon Plan was incredibly successful. However, at that time, the power of demons was still greater than that of humans. Therefore, when it came to getting demons to control their subordinates, it was natural to offer them some incentives.
Human flesh is far too delicious for demons, and many demons still cannot accept permanently ignoring humans. Therefore, a compromise was reached: death row inmates were used to satisfy the demon nobles' demand for human flesh.
This decision was barely accepted by a large number of powerful human families and a large number of demons, but there were still some who vehemently opposed it.
The strongest opposition came from the head of the Xiao Household family, who is now the emperor, while the strongest opposition within the King of Qin's camp came from himself and Liu Yu.
In Ziyue's view, this decision, while seemingly a temporary solution to the conflict, actually sowed the seeds of a great hidden danger.
As long as demons don't give up their cannibalism, they will inevitably turn against humans. It's said that only death row inmates can be served, but if that's the case, won't powerful demons create numerous wrongful death sentences? Won't this create a whole host of such black market industries?
When local officials, especially when corrupt officials are in power, will they enforce the law impartially? Will they simply sentence someone to death whenever possible?
Moreover, the addiction to human flesh is incurable; what about the consequences if demons' children eat humans? Is it a life for a life?
The King of Qin understood these principles, yet he still did it. To put it bluntly, he compromised the fate of certain lower-class individuals for the sake of power, something he could not accept. He could compromise the lower classes for power now, and he could betray them for power in the future. He knew very well that the Ancient Demon would eventually find him, and at that time, wouldn't he betray him for even greater gains?
She did not actively betray the King of Qin, nor did she pay attention to the Xiao Household's rebellion. To this day, she does not regret her choice.
"Can't the great sorcerer answer me?" the emperor asked quietly.
"What is the significance of Your Majesty asking this?" Ziyue looked at this chosen one of humanity with a complicated expression.
