Many shortcomings bring about only one effect, letting oneself enter an endless cycle of reincarnation!

So this is definitely not a dead loop, otherwise, it would be too shameless.

A non-King Level being, merely relying on a secret technique, can trap a King Level, if it is for a short time, one might say the secret technique is very powerful, but if it is for a long time or even permanent, that’s not powerful anymore, it’s shameless...

The world is a game world that tends to focus more on balance than the real world does, so it’s highly unlikely that something so shameless would exist.

Sparrow Bee looked at the other’s annoying smile, quickly pondering the loopholes, knowing he didn’t have much time.

He was a reincarnator, but the people around him were not, and once the surroundings collapsed, the opponent would surely know he had fallen into reincarnation, and the advantage of memory would no longer exist.

He had to quickly find the weak point...

After all, having emerged from countless reincarnators as a top individual, he managed to keep steady at critical moments, carefully considering the current situation.

The opponent’s casual appearance before him was certainly not something to be easily killed, he had just tried, killing the opponent was meaningless, she would directly enter reincarnation, reappearing around him, and worse, when she entered reincarnation, he would lose his vitality, better to let himself enter reincarnation too.

But if killing her couldn’t break this cycle of reincarnation, then how to break it?

Time ticked by second by second, his brain going through millions of calculations, still unable to find an answer, Sparrow Bee’s forehead began to sweat cold, sensing the Imperial Court’s military formations gradually collapsing, his heart finally started to feel anxious.

Could it be... that he was going to fall here?

Actually, with his lineage, even if it’s gone now, reincarnating into the second version during the era of Spiritual Energy’s revival, he wouldn’t fare too poorly, but.

.. this life was different, his soul was incomplete, if he reincarnated, he would be in a weak world, and Bai Feng that guy would definitely come looking for him.

At that time, he being the prey and the other, the hunter, was a scenario he didn’t want to experience.

What should he do?

What should he do?

"Senior seems to have given up..." Zi Yue’s cold voice rang out again, "Which reincarnation is this that you’ve given up? But giving up is human nature after all, Senior in such a condition can’t afford to keep going, how about I give Senior a suggestion?"

"What?" Sparrow Bee, being short in stature, looked up at the other.

"Why don’t you surrender?" Zi Yue smiled.

"Surrender?"

"Yes..." Zi Yue said earnestly, "After all, you probably aren’t particularly loyal to that woman, right? What’s binding you is just each other’s techniques, if you surrender now, I guarantee you won’t die, how about that?"

"Why should I believe you?" Sparrow Bee frowned.

"I can establish a technique..." Zi Yue laughed, "Set up a technique to ensure you won’t die, if you die, I will explode as well, how about that?"

"But you also said, I and that woman have set up a technique, if I betray her, I would also die, wouldn’t I?"

"No..." Zi Yue shook her head, "You will enter reincarnation, then that technique won’t be complete, it does not include reincarnation, does it?"

"Oh?"

Sparrow Bee’s eyes lit up, he hadn’t thought about this, he could use this cycle of time to break the technique.

Techniques are one-time, once they burst out on his body, they won’t appear a second time, and after reincarnation, his life is still there, but the technique is gone, which means freeing himself from that woman’s control.

It seemed to be feasible.

"I am quite curious..." Sparrow Bee looked at the other party, "Are you an ancient demon... or a reincarnator?"

"Does it matter?" Zi Yue squinted their eyes and asked.

"Of course, it matters!" Sparrow Bee scoffed, "If you’re an ancient demon, I’d follow you, but if you’re a reincarnator, then you must be from Chen Qing’s group, right?

Bai Feng is still with you, if I follow you, whom will you support?

It’s absolutely impossible for me to coexist with both of you. .."

Zi Yue: "......"

"I am also quite curious..."

As the tension persisted, a deep voice suddenly sounded, and Zi Yue looked over, but Sparrow Bee did not turn around.

Let alone that he had already lifted the King Level seal, even when it wasn’t lifted, this emperor could not have approached silently; Sparrow Bee had sensed it several moments ago.

However, he was curious if the other party’s body had recovered by this time?

The Dark Crow Flame could swiftly degrade the bloodline of the King Level under no resistance, potentially reverting the seal below the King Level, but.

.. that pain was incredibly horrific. Sparrow Bee was not unfamiliar with torment, but just thinking about the feeling when the Dark Crow Flame was burning his viscera made him shudder involuntarily.

That pain, which completely invaded the marrow and nerves, causing every single pore in the body to experience pain magnified to the extreme, was far more terrifying than any skinning, flaying, or poison torture.

Given his willpower, he was amazed he hadn’t passed out from the pain at that time, and after that ordeal, he had needed three full days of recuperation to barely regain mobility. But what about this guy? He had just lifted the seal and was already out swaggering around?

Looking over at this moment, the emperor from the Siao Family had a rather pale complexion, but curiously, his inherent aura was in no way diminished. No one who saw him would think he was at his last gasp, including Sparrow Bee, who already knew about the side effects.

"My chief grand sorcerer..." The Emperor looked at Zi Yue and smiled, "Do you not recognize me?"

"I’ve seen Your Majesty..." Zi Yue paused for a moment but did not hesitate for long, promptly giving the traditional reverence of a subject to a monarch.

Regardless of what the truth was initially, she indeed had subsisted under his command. The Emperor of Great Jin had supported her for over twenty years, providing her shelter for that duration. Before that, the only one who had offered her such prolonged asylum was the King of Qin.

"It’s good that my beloved subject still recognizes me." The Emperor nodded, "I just want to ask one thing: was your opposition to the King of Qin honoring demons and compromising with high-ranking demons to still treat the human race as blood food, all just an act performed for me?"

Zi Yue fell silent.

Back then... the King of Qin was just one step away from ending the great chaos across the lands, the Sky Moon plan was immensely successful, but at that time, the demon’s power was still stronger than that of the human race.

So in terms of restraining his subordinates, some incentives were naturally needed.

The human flesh was exceedingly delicious for demons; many demons were still unable to accept never eating humans again. Thus a compromise was made: using death row criminals to satisfy the noble demons’ demand for human flesh.

This decision was begrudgingly accepted by a large portion of the great noble families of the human race and also led to a reluctant compromise by a large portion of the demons, but still, some people vehemently opposed it.

Among those who objected the loudest was the family head of the Siao Family, who was now this emperor, and within the King of Qin’s camp, the loudest voices of opposition were her own and Liu Yu’s.

In Zi Yue’s view, this decision seemed to temporarily resolve conflicts but actually buried significant hidden dangers.

As long as demons retained the addiction to human flesh, they would certainly attack the human race. Claiming only criminals could be used, but what if in such a case, the powerful noble demons manufactured numerous wrongful death cases? Would this create a whole chain of illicit industries?

Particularly when the local officials, especially when governed by demons, would they administer the law impartially? Would any case that could be sentenced to death indeed receive that sentence?

Furthermore, if the addiction to human flesh persevered, and a demon’s child consumed a human, how would that be accounted for? An eye for an eye?

The King of Qin understood these truths, but he still proceeded in this manner.

Frankly, it was a compromise of the fates of the lower strata for power, something she could not accept.

If he could compromise the lower strata for power now, he could also betray them in the future for more power, because she was very aware that ultimately, the ancient demons would find her, and at that time, would he not trade her for greater benefits?

She had not actively betrayed the King of Qin, nor had she dealt with the Siao Family’s rebellion... and even now, she did not regret her decisions then.

"So, the Grand Sorcerer can’t answer me?" the Emperor said somberly.

"Your Majesty, what does it mean for you to ask this?" Zi Yue looked at him with complicated emotions, gazing at this Child of Destiny of the human race...
