"My lord. My lord?"
In a fragmented space that no one had expected, Shen Qi gently called out to the unconscious Chen Qing.
It wasn't that he couldn't help it, but rather that Chen Qing's condition looked extremely bad at that moment.
The space they were in was extremely bold; it was the very same spatial fragment that the Ancient Demon high priest had stepped on earlier, and it was also the core of this palace space.
Because the elements here are extremely chaotic, with turbulent currents almost everywhere, it's impossible to explore this place with divine sense; it's a place where it's completely hidden from view.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious. It is difficult to detect from the outside, but it is also difficult to detect from the inside. Due to the chaotic elements and numerous spatial turbulence, one must not only be careful not to be swept into the turbulence at any time, but also dare not easily use spells to observe the outside situation, otherwise the chaotic elements will cause great disturbance and easily expose one's position.
For the past half hour, Shen Qi has been holding Chen Qing, constantly dodging the turbulent currents, hoping that Chen Qing will wake up on her own.
Strangely, Chen Qing's body seemed to be fine, but he just couldn't wake up, and seemed to be in extreme pain.
At this moment, Shen Qi clearly saw that Chen Qing was convulsing all over, showing signs of spasms, and his mental state was extremely chaotic, as if he was suffering from some great pain.
Based on Shen Qi's understanding of Chen Qing, he should be a very resilient person. What kind of pain could cause him to react so strongly?
With the situation outside unclear and the surrounding turbulence becoming increasingly unstable, Shen Qi had no choice but to try to wake Chen Qing.
"My lord!"
Finally, a sharp shout jolted Chen Qing awake.
Chen Qing, who had just woken up, was clearly not in the right state of mind. She was covered in cold sweat and was panting heavily.
"My lord," Shen Qi said cautiously, looking at the other person.
Chen Qing broke through the seal and advanced to the King Level. According to the previous experiment's prediction, the King Level was extremely rejected in this world. He was very worried about the side effects Chen Qing was experiencing, but it seemed that his body was fine, and the damage was not as great as he had imagined. On the contrary, his mental state was the main concern.
"It's alright." After about ten breaths, Chen Qing finally came to his senses and waved his hand at Shen Qi, who looked worried.
"My lord, are you alright?" Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Qing had recovered.
A lucid Chen Qing gives people a great sense of security. Over the years, through all the ups and downs, there has never been anything that Chen Qing couldn't handle. As long as he is lucid, he gives people a sense of confidence that he can turn the tide at any time.
"I'm fine," Chen Qing explained, seeing that the other party still seemed uneasy. "I have a secret technique that allows me to freely return to my pre-seal state. The drawback is that my whole body and mind must be completely still. Both my body and mind must be completely relaxed. If my spirit remains inside my body, it must go into hibernation as well, which is very dangerous in this situation."
"Huh?" Shen Qi was taken aback. "You mean your spirit was outside your body just now?"
Is it true or false?
This is not Jiangnan. It is extremely dangerous for a spirit to leave its body at will. There are many powerful experts outside, and the elemental turbulence is also very strong. If you are not careful, you may be caught in the turbulence and your spirit may be shattered.
"Yes," Chen Qing didn't hide anything from the other party, "It's with Ziyue."
"Senior Ziyue?" Shen Qi gasped. He had been worried that Ziyue would betray him. How could Chen Qing dare to entrust his spirit to Ziyue? Did he trust her that much?
He had always felt that, in Jiangnan, the most unstable people were Tian Heng and Ziyue, yet Chen Qing seemed to trust these two people immensely.
Chen Qing took a breath, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
He didn't really trust Ziyue that much, but the current situation left him no choice. If he kept his guard up, he wouldn't be able to get anything done. Ziyue didn't disappoint him, but he didn't expect Ziyue background to be so complicated.
The princess of the Ancient Demon Clan Fusion with the former chief data engineer. Is the current Ziyue the former data engineer or the princess of the Ancient Demon clan?
Perhaps even she herself isn't sure?
In particular, the other party's willpower was truly ashamed of Chen Qing. The burning effect of the Golden Crow Flame had caused him so much pain that his spirit almost dissipated, but she was able to endure the immense pain and secretly use a spell to transfer him.
In fact, he had already returned to his body a while ago. The reason he didn't wake up was because the immense pain prevented his spirit from fully regaining consciousness, and his body reacted accordingly.
Compared to that girl, Chen Qing felt he wasn't manly enough.
"My lord," Shen Qi realized, and said excitedly, "You've been with Senior Ziyue the whole time, which means you have a clear understanding of the situation outside?"
Chen Qing nodded. "I can probably see them all clearly."
He then gave a brief overview of the situation outside.
" Old Celestial Master Zhang is dead?" Shen Qi gasped.
That Old Celestial Master Zhang, who orchestrated the world's affairs and nearly wiped out all forces, a being whose master couldn't gain any advantage even after breaking through the seal—someone so unfathomable—just vanished like that?
"So this is a dangerous world, isn't it?" Chen Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He could clearly see from Ziyue that the High Priest of the Ancient Demon Clan died rather unjustly. If he had released the seal immediately, even if he had faced the two terrifying beings, the Emperor and Kagura, he wouldn't have died so miserably.
But there's no way around it; that's how it is in such top-level battles. A slight oversight can lead to total defeat, and a moment's delay can mean losing before you even get to unleash your full potential. There's no more humiliating way to die.
I must not make this mistake again.
"That celestial image that injured the Ancient Demon... was it truly not controlled by you, my lord?"
"I have that ability," Chen Qing rolled his eyes, "Why would I need to resort to such a self-inflicted injury?"
"A self-inflicted injury ruse?"
"That guy is King of Qin's trump card!"
" The King of Qin? He's not." Shen Qi was taken aback.
He remembered Chen Qing saying that the King of Qin was dead!
Chen Qing's expression was also complex. The fact that the King of Qin survived under such circumstances was truly defying the heavens, just as Ziyue had predicted...
Chen Qing suddenly remembered what she had said before.
"Is he really dead? Are you sure?"
"Dead beyond dead." Chen Qing said with certainty at the time.
If a data life form doesn't die when the power goes out, it would truly be a monster.
I don't think so...
"Huh?" Chen Qing was taken aback, then chuckled, "You're a modern person too, you should understand what it means for a data life form to be trapped in a power outage zone, right? You really think of him as a god?"
What if there's a backup?
"This can even have backups?" Chen Qing was stunned.
"You said it yourself, it's a digital life, what's so strange about having backups?"
"I just want to know how he backs it up?"
"If you really are Pu Yunchuan, you should know that person, right? Bai Hua!"
Chen Qing: "..."
He knew it; how could he not know?
The original prototype of data life.
He remembered...
