"You knew the consequences, yet you still dared to use it?"
Ziyue was stunned. She thought Chen Qing came to rescue her without knowing the consequences, but it turned out he was quite aware of them.
Faced with Ziyue's question, Chen Qing was slightly taken aback. "So what?"
"Aren't you afraid that your soul will forever be in the hands of those monsters, never to be reborn?"
"Oh, so that's why you fell into that guy's hands so easily. So you were fooled by that sentence," Chen Qing said with a helpless expression. "You're usually quite smart, so why can't you think things through when it really matters?"
Ziyue: "."
"Even if you don't know the intelligence, you should know that the ability to use souls as a price means that those golems have already acquired the means to control souls. And this time, it's clear that the major powers are already exploring the power of the fourth version. The era of golems will soon arrive."
"If we die now, we may escape this calamity and perhaps even be Samsara, but what then?"
"These monstrous things will still come. If you don't have the power to resist then, you still won't be able to escape. Can you guarantee that you'll be stronger in the next Samsara?"
Ziyue remained silent, looking at Chen Qing with a sense of realization. How much Chen Qing resembled her back then?
She refused to die back then, preferring to endure inhuman torture to persevere, but she wasn't sure if she would still possess her current abilities after Samsara. If Samsara as an ant, still a plaything of the strong, what difference would there be between that and now?
We might as well give it a shot, since things are already like this anyway.
"So what do we do now? Is there a way to get out of here quickly?"
"It's inseparable." Chen Qing shook his head. " The Demonic Void Realm is a special space, created by Outer Heaven Demon Statue to approach our world. This space is extremely complex; you can tell from the surrounding turbulence. Once you enter, even your orientation becomes chaotic, and the space is constantly changing. This design has prevented the Outer Heaven Demon Statue that roam here from ever leaving for the human world for countless years. Instead, they have to rely on the methods of the Outer God to tempt people's hearts, gradually approaching the human world through faith."
"So, you can't live without it?" Ziyue asked, her eyes wide.
"Not exactly," Chen Qing smiled. "There are two methods. First, imitate those golems and gradually figure out the location through the Power of Faith. Then you'll have a chance to leave. I am the master of the Jiangnan Divine Path, with billions of believers. As long as I figure out the rules here and Jiangnan's faith in me remains unchanged, I can leave this place in a while. But I don't know exactly how long it will take."
"You don't know?" Ziyue frowned.
"I wasn't the one who designed this thing," Chen Qing said in a low voice. "Have you forgotten that there were two designers for this game?"
Ziyue's pupils immediately contracted.
Yes, how could I forget?
There are two game directors: one is Pu Yunchuan, who specializes in designing various demons and monsters, and the other is the initiator of the game, who is the world-building designer of the entire game world.
What was her name again?
Ziyue was stunned.
As the chief data engineer, I couldn't remember that guy's name at all.
What's going on?
Before I could react, Chen Qing continued, "When he designed the world view, I only knew the general outline. Didn't you have the specific data? Logically speaking, you should know the situation of this world better than I do."
Ziyue was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. I have no memory of this place at all."
"Is that so?" Chen Qing nodded slightly, having already made up his mind.
It seems the genes of all the designers were altered; otherwise, they wouldn't have collectively lost this crucial memory. Who was responsible for all of this? And what was their purpose?
I'll have to find a chance to learn about these things later; the most important thing is to survive first.
Chen Qing wasn't very familiar with this space, but he knew the pale-faced monster very well. If that thing found their location, it would be a certain death sentence!
"It seems the first method won't work. It's hard to estimate the time; the monster might find us before we even find the exit, putting us at a significant disadvantage."
"What is the second method?"
"The second method is to look for it in your enemy."
You mean the head guard?
"He's not simple," Chen Qing said in a low voice. "I suspect so."
--
"I never expected you would collaborate with Chen Qing."
Black Tortoise Palace, the two armies faced each other. Kagura looked at the emperor in the distance with curiosity in her eyes.
"There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world. Isn't that a saying you Reincarnator often use? Why do you question it when it comes to me?"
"According to your logic, profit is paramount, so why choose Chen Qing?" Kagura laughed, "Right now, both the Ancient Demon Clan and Southern Capital leaderless. How about we cooperate and devour both of them first?"
Upon hearing this, both the West Sea Army and the Ancient Demon Clan instantly tensed up, especially the guards who were in formation with Kagura's Heavenly Python Army, whose faces turned extremely grim.
At this moment, the position of the head of the guard was unwittingly weakened once again.
The emperor, observing this with a hint of doubt, asked curiously, "The person you truly fear is probably that head guard, isn't he?"
"Hahahaha." Kagura burst into laughter. "I really don't know what that Black Queen was thinking. How could someone as smart as you be content to be a subordinate?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the emperor nodded slightly. "As I thought."
With the two armies locked in a stalemate, this woman dared to openly sabotage the captain of the guards. Wasn't she afraid that the thousand guards might suddenly turn against them?
The only answer is that these thousand powerful guards were insignificant in that woman's eyes, and destroying the guard captain would have been far more useful.
"Just who is that guy, that someone like you would go to such lengths to scheme against him?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you," Kagura said quietly.
"It seems you're from your region." The emperor's gaze grew even colder.
"It's not that simple." Kagura's eyes became incredibly complicated.
She had always suspected the identity of the head of the guard, and not only the head of the guard, but in fact, she also suspected the identities of some people in this world.
She had sensed it long ago: despite the fact that these players seemed to rule the world, wielding power and enjoying immortality, what was the reality?
She always felt that she and the others were still unable to escape control.
Everything is being slowly planned by an invisible hand, and some things cannot be stopped no matter what.
There are traitors in this world!
"My lord, how are things on your end?"
A little girl, around ten years old, frowned adorably, seemingly stumped by the problem before her.
Since she learned spatial arrays, few problems have truly stumped her. No matter how complex the array, she can see through it at a glance. The reason she is slow to create arrays is simply because her abilities are not yet sufficient, so she needs the assistance of many people. This is the first time she has encountered an array that she cannot find a solution to even after thinking about it for a long time.
Of course, the reason is not the formation, but the environment. This terrible environment is constantly changing and has no pattern. You have to create patterns yourself. The elements here also have no pattern. It would have been impossible to create a spatial formation here.
But the master produced a formation she had never seen before, which could actually use Baiyu to stabilize the magnetic field and calm the elements within a certain range. It was truly amazing, but there were too many details involved, which made her brain unable to process them all.
"It's quite a hassle for me to sort things out here too," the person addressed as "Master" turned around, his brow furrowed. "We have to hurry; she can't hold on much longer."
"The director can do it!" the little girl said confidently.
The man smiled wryly. He had no choice but to release the little girl, as he couldn't possibly complete the formation on his own.
If Ziyue were here, she would be shocked.
Because the white-clad man addressed as "Master" was none other than Chen Qing!!
