"You... knew the consequences and still dared to use it?"

Ziyue was immediately stunned. She thought Chen Qing had come to save her without knowing the consequences, but it seems he was well aware.

Facing Ziyue’s question, Chen Qing was slightly startled: "So what?"

"You... aren’t you afraid that your soul will forever fall into the hands of those monsters, never to transcend?"

"Oh, I was wondering why you fell so easily into that guy’s hands, you were scared by these words..." Chen Qing’s face showed a helpless expression: "You seem smart normally, so why can’t you think straight at the crucial moment?"

Ziyue: "....."

"Even if you didn’t know the information, you should also know that if the soul can be used as a price, it means that those Demon Statues have already acquired means to control souls.

And this time, it’s clear that several major powers have already started exploring the power of the fourth version, and the era of the Demon Statues is about to descend. "

"If we die now, indeed we might escape this time, perhaps re-enter into Reincarnation, but what about after?"

"These damned things will still come, and if we don’t have the power to resist then, we still won’t be able to escape. Can you guarantee that in the next cycle, you will be stronger than you are now?"

Ziyue fell silent. She looked at Chen Qing somewhat enlightened. The current Chen Qing, how much did he resemble her from the past?

Back then, she was unwilling to die, preferring to endure inhuman torture and persist rather than being uncertain whether she could still have her current abilities after reincarnating.

If she reincarnated as an ant, she would still be a plaything for the powerful, so what difference would it make from now?

It might be better to fight it out; after all, things had come to this...

"So what do we do now? Can we leave here quickly?"

"We can’t leave..." Chen Qing shook his head: "The Demon Void Realm is a special Space created by the Otherworldly Demon Statues to approach our world, this space is extremely complex.

Just look at the chaotic flows around us, once inside, even the directions are muddled, and space is constantly changing.

This design means that for countless years, those otherworldly Demon Statues wandering here cannot leave to the Mortal World.

Instead, they rely on the Outer Gods to tempt the human heart, gradually approaching the Mortal World through the Power of Faith. "

"Does that mean... we can’t leave?" Ziyue asked, her eyes wide.

"Not necessarily..." Chen Qing smiled: "There are two methods. The first is to imitate those Demon Statues, using the Power of Faith to gradually figure out the directions, then there is a chance to leave here. I am the Master of the Jiangnan Divine Path with billions of believers; as long as I figure out the patterns here and the faith in Jiangnan towards me doesn’t change, it will take some time, but I can leave here. However, I don’t know exactly how long that will take. "

"You don’t know?" Ziyue frowned.

"I didn’t design this thing in the first place..." Chen Qing said in a low voice: "Have you forgotten that there were two designers for this game?"

Ziyue’s pupils shrank suddenly.

Right, how could she forget?

The game’s supervisor had two people. One was Pu YunChuan, who specialized in designing various demons and monsters. The other was the initiator of the game, the designer of the world view of the entire game world.

What was the name again?

Ziyue was startled.

As the Data Master, she couldn’t remember the name of that individual at all.

What’s the situation?

Before she could react, she heard Chen Qing continue: "When he initially designed the world view, I only knew the outline. Aren’t you in charge of the specific data? Logically speaking, you should be clearer about the situation of this world than I am..."

Ziyue was silent for a moment before shaking her head: "I’m not sure... I have no memory of this place."

"Is that so..." Chen Qing nodded slightly, planning in his heart.

It seems that the genes of all designers have been altered. Otherwise, they would not collectively lose this critical memory. Who did all this initially, and what was their purpose?

These matters can only be understood later; the key is to survive first.

Chen Qing was not very familiar with this space, but he was extremely familiar with that pale-faced monster. Once that thing finds their location, they would certainly face a situation of certain death!

"It looks like the first method isn’t viable, the timing is too uncertain, and it’s likely that we haven’t found the exit by the time the monster finds us. That’s too passive."

"What’s the second method?"

"The second method... lies with the enemy who holds a grudge against you."

"Do you mean the Guard Commander?"

"He’s no simple character..." Chen Qing lowered his voice, "I suspect..."

--------------------------------------------

"I never expected that you would actually cooperate with Chen Qing."

Outside the Black Tortoise Palace, with the two armies in standoff, Kagura looked at the distant Emperor with curiosity in her eyes.

"There are no permanent friends or enemies in this world, isn’t that a common saying among you Reincarnators? Why do you question it when it comes to me?"

"By your logic, interests reign supreme. So why choose Chen Qing?" Kagura smiled and said, "Now that the Ancient Demon Clan and Jiangnan both lack a leader, why don’t we join forces and devour both of them first? What do you say?"

The moment these words were uttered, both the Western Sea Army and the Ancient Demon Clan instantly tensed up, especially the guard troops combined with Kagura’s Celestial Serpent Army, looking extremely grim.

At this moment, the status of the Guard Commander had been invisibly slashed once more.

The Emperor, witnessing this, also looked puzzled and curiously asked, "The person you truly fear is that Guard Commander, isn’t it?"

"Ha ha ha ha...." Kagura suddenly burst into laughter, "I really don’t know what the Black Empress was thinking. With your intelligence, how could you be content being a subordinate?"

After receiving a confirmation, the Emperor nodded slightly, "Indeed..."

The two armies faced off, and that woman dared to openly undermine the Guard Commander. Wasn’t she afraid that the thousand guards would rebel on the spot?

The only answer was that in that woman’s eyes, the powerful guard army was nothing, and destroying the Guard Commander was of far greater use.

"What’s the background of that guy, to make a figure like you so scheming?"

"You wouldn’t understand even if I told you..." Kagura said faintly.

"It looks like... he’s one of your people..." The Emperor’s gaze grew even colder.

"It’s not that simple..." Kagura’s eyes became incredibly complex.

She had always had her suspicions about the identity of the Guard Commander, not just him, but the identity of some others in this world as well.

She had felt for a long time that, despite seeming to have control over this world, with the power to command wind and rain and enjoy longevity, were they really in control?

She couldn’t shake the feeling that they were still not free from manipulation.

All the situations seemed to be slowly orchestrated by an invisible hand, and some things were simply unstoppable.

This world... has a mole!

"Your Highness, how are things on your end?"

A girl in her early teens frowned cutely, seemingly stumped by the problem in front of her.

Ever since she learned spatial formation, there had been few problems that truly challenged her, even the most complex formations, she could see through at a glance.

The only reason she was slow in creation was due to insufficient ability, thus requiring assistance from others.

It was the first time she encountered a formation that she couldn’t figure out after much thought.

Of course, the reason was not the formation but the environment—an environment that could change at any moment without any pattern, requiring her to create the pattern, and the elements here were also utterly patternless. Creating a spatial formation here would normally be impossible.

But His Highness had taken out a formation she had never seen before, which could actually use Bai Yu to stabilize the magnetic field, calming the elements within a certain range. It was truly miraculous, but the details were too many, making her brain overwhelmed.

"It’s quite troublesome sorting out my side too...," said the person referred to as His Highness, turning around with also a furrowed brow, "We must be quick; she won’t last much longer."

"The Dean can do it!" The girl declared confidently.

The man gave a wry smile. Having the little girl help out was a last resort, as it was impossible to complete the formation on his own in such short notice.

Ziyue would have been shocked if she were here.

Because the person in white called His Highness was none other than Chen Qing!!
