Should have an independent mind, whatever it is. No matter what it becomes, as long as the mind is still independent, it can be called a single individual. On the contrary, if you can't completely independent your own thoughts, you will only be a ......puppet" at the mercy of you anyway. ”

In the deep cell, there was a faint roar...... As if it were the call of the devil.

It suddenly laughed, laughed, laughed maniacally, and taunted: "I said that you will definitely come again, and you will definitely promise me...... Because I know you won't be reconciled! Because only in this way will you be able to escape the tragic fate of being controlled by others! ”

"It's not helpful to say more. I'm here to decide on a formal deal with you. You officially become my contract star spirit, and at the same time I let you devour me...... But it has to be my will! ”

"No, it's not necessarily you who is the leader, and it doesn't have to be me. We will fight each other, and the one who wins will be the one who will be dominant. Natural selection, the law of the jungle, fair, right? This is an opportunity for you and me to become stronger! ”

"In that case, let's get started."

The cage opened in an instant, and a fishy wind rushed in. It completely devoured the Dragon Emperor Ximen Yu who was standing upright here! The huge black shadow turned into an ugly mass of flesh, constantly wriggling!

"Hahahaha!! What a fragile will! You promised! You actually said yes! What a stupid human being! Don't you know that I have existed for countless times, and my mind is countless times stronger than yours! The fight between you and me has doomed you from the beginning!! ”

The ball of flesh began to shrink and eventually began to change shape, taking the form of a crimson Styx demon. Cracking open the bloody jaw, it began to laugh wildly: "Hahahahaha!! Although I don't know how the Star Spirit Contract appeared, there is no doubt that having this Star Spirit Contract can make both sides of the contract more powerful...... But who says that the status of the parties to a contract cannot be changed? It would be good for you all to become my covenant spirits!! Gee. Dragon Emperor, now I am the Dragon Emperor! ”

It licked its scarlet lips, its pupils shining with greed, "I'm going to make all the guys of the Eighth Age my food...... I will become the most powerful existence in the entire Star Spirit Realm, even if it is a seventh-layer demon king. And don't trample on me! ”

It opened its footsteps, step by step, towards the exit of this cage.

It stopped, and suddenly felt something wrong...... It became motionless, and its ugly head began to grow even uglier, something that could not be suppressed, and at this moment it seemed to break through its own body and appear!

"Your consciousness is still indelible...... How can it be!! It began to scream in terror.

Because of this moment, it began to feel that its consciousness was facing a great threat...... Yes, huge enough for it to feel the threat of death fear.

"I really can't wait...... I don't want to wait any longer. “

There was a voice, coming from its body. "In fact, no one can really stand the kind of situation that doesn't take their control for three days...... Who am I since then? I'm Ximenyu? Or is it just a marionette of Zhao Nan? Roughly using my body my identity, doing a lot of things, and then rushing to get me to clean up the mess that rests. Ahhh......h It's so good that I have to make a deal with you, a vile and ugly demon. Take this as your last chance to escape this fate...... But, you really thought I would be unprepared. Will I complete this transaction with you? ”

"Trying to kill my consciousness?!! You think beautifully, but you think too soon!! I've managed to devour hundreds of guys like you before you, and I'm far more powerful than you can experience...... What is it?!! ”

It began to hold its head in pain, and in the midst of this hidden place, it let out a scream of pain.

"The disemberavity of self-discipline...... You won't know. How much thought did it take me to borrow such a secret treasure of the soul clan from Lucifer XIV. Although, it is only a replica of the original...... But it's enough to use against you...... Annihilate, dregs! ”

Ahh

After a brief and urgent sound, it felt as if it were petrified. The whole thing became motionless—even the sparkle in its eyes...... Consciousness has dissipated.

The crimson Styx demon's body suddenly cracked...... Something seemed to be struggling out of the torn body at this moment.

Or rather, out of the cocoon.

Him, or is it...... Ximen Yu walked out of the nightmare body!

At this moment, Ximenyu was naked, as if he was a newborn...... But not human. No, it looks like a human being, except for the symbol of the Styx Demon behind it, a strange tail that can devour any living being.

At this point, the tail began to shrink one by one...... Eventually, the contraction returned to his body.

"If you want to stop this situation, your self-consciousness will be annihilated, and then what I left here will disappear with it...... You will be free, your body will be free......" Ximenyu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "That's what you said...... That's what you said, right? That's how it goes...... But, my consciousness is still there! My consciousness was even reborn...... I have been born again! ”

He roared, "I'm no longer anyone's puppet!" ”

He suddenly crouched down and wept bitterly...... No longer human, "I've become a nondescript monster ......"

He cried and laughed, and the day passed.

……

……

It laughed and cried, and suddenly stood up...... I got up because I didn't feel the need to stay here anymore - and I had been here for a long time.

A concept called serious injury has been completely eliminated from one's body.

Then it felt confused...... Confusedly, all wishes have not disappeared because of the departure from the broken era...... Obviously, he knows better than anyone that without the era, the pseudo-soul will disappear, and there will be no consciousness to speak of.

It had felt weaker than ever, as if it could come to an end after birth at any moment. However, at some point, this feeling of weakness began to slowly disappear. Instead, there is a gradual fullness.

The negative will that is fundamental to one's own existence is so strong here...... But they don't have a fixed object, they are scattered one by one. But even so, the longer these scattered negative intentions exist, there will always be a day of convergence.

It...... They will form an irresistible wave of terror. The beauty that swallows everything.

"Who is feeding these negative intentions...... Astral Realm...... Is that guy too? Want to create a 'me' here again? It looked up, looked at the gloom of the world that only could see, and suddenly chuckled, "But I don't know...... I have not been erased, I have come here, and these scattered ownerless things can nourish me even more! Yes...... The beauty here has surpassed everything. ”

It was moving forward, black, ragged, wide clothes covering it.

"Time is running out...... Eighth, the only guy is almost going back to the original scriptures, right? This time......"

……

……

"Your Majesty really lent the remnants to Ximen Yu?"

Look at the beloved wife. His Majesty the Fourteenth nodded very calmly, and took out the crystal filled with the thunder and electric light.

The Empress knew that this was a private transaction, but she had a bad premonition: "The Thunder Lightning Style is the top secret of the Dragon Empire. The great value of these wars can be seen. The Dragon Emperor would really hand it over? “

But the fourteenth chuckled: "Hand over? No, he never thought of announcing any technology. We can't do much just by giving a Thunderbolt Lightning. Unless we can truly have scholars who understand magic techniques...... But no matter what, what the countries secretly stole from the Dragon Empire is probably only at the apprentice level. It's like a novice who has just learned swords, even if he is given a secret book that is invincible in the world. He also had no way of mastering the fur. ”

The queen sighed and said, "That being said, the remnants have been lent out. And we don't know anything about this organism, I'm just afraid..."

"The queen is too careful." The Fourteenth chuckled and said, "In fact, the fragment has been returned, and the loan time is not more than half a day...... That guy just wants to get rid of some restraints. ”

The queen frowned: "Your Majesty, ...... you?"

The fourteenth had a gleam in his eyes, as if he was saying to himself: "Actually. I'd rather face the scheming real Ximenyu. ”

The queen mother had to sigh, vaguely feeling that her husband was very taboo about something. But she didn't intend to break it, but said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the coalition forces have successfully captured the fifth layer, which is already an unprecedentedly huge territory for us and others. Is it really necessary to continue? ”

"The queen means that we should take it when we see it and start consolidating ourselves, right?"

"Exactly." The queen's face became serious: "Your Majesty doesn't feel that since the 'Sea Realm', the victory of the coalition forces has come too easily?" Even though there were ten crosses of thunder and lightning coming out of the air, the concubine still felt that the victory came too easily, as if it was like ......"

The fourteenth frowned, and suddenly said, "The queen also feels it?" ”

The queen nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is someone who is secretly helping each other...... In several places, the Guardian forces were thrown into inexplicable chaos. And the thunder and lightning type, just by expanding these chaos, in exchange for immeasurable combat exploits. But the question is... What is the source of all this confusion? ”

The Fourteenth sighed and said, "Yes...... What is the source of all this confusion? I've made a lot of assumptions, but I still don't have a clue. But who is secretly helping ...... And to the extent that no one can find out? If it weren't for the fact that these victories were so similar, I am afraid that I would not have felt it for a while. ”

"Even His Majesty can't detect it...... It's not easy. The queen was not without worry: "The Boundary Guarding Hall retreated to the sixth-layer area, and we occupied the fifth-layer area, which is now a demarcation point...... Whoever crosses it is bound to be a real battle. Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she should not interfere at this time, but for the sake of our future children, let's consider the concubine's proposal carefully. ”

"What, our ...... in the future Queen, really? His Majesty's face was suddenly filled with a look of ecstasy.

The queen bowed her head shyly.

……

……

Subconsciously rubbed his forehead.

It's like waking up from every hangover. Tuoba Xiaocao struggled to open his eyes - the light was not strong, so his eyes were quite comfortable, this was the first feeling.

Then he woke up suddenly, and his whole body was on alert almost immediately.

"Don't be nervous, it's safe here."

Girl.

It was a woman with a silver mask...... Narrator at the fire, and he is beside the fire. The woman sat cross-legged on the ground, a food box resting on top of her legs.

I saw that this woman carefully and regarded it as a treasure, little by little, she picked up the food from the food box and put it into her mouth...... It seemed to be some grilled fish, and it didn't look like a grilled fish.

Tuoba Xiaocao is puzzling, is this woman stupid...... But after all, she can still distinguish the situation in front of her, "It's you...... Did you save me? ”

Tuoba Xiaocao didn't know how long this woman had eaten, whether she had eaten enough or not. Anyway, after asking her own questions, the woman also carefully lid, wrapped, and put away the food box, as if it were really some rare treasure. After a while, there was an answer: "I saw you fall on the road, it's not good." That's why I moved you here. ”

"Yes...... Tuoba Xiaocao tapped his head hard, and suddenly asked, "So...... Well, have you come across anything else? I mean...... A guy. ”

The woman smiled and said, "I saw you alone, and as for the guy you are talking about, the one who made you unconscious to the end?" ”

Tuoba Xiaocao sighed and said, "Sort of." ”

"Enemies?"

"It's not a ......" Tuoba Xiaocao shook his head: "It's probably a selfish acquaintance." ”

The woman didn't ask any further questions, but carefully fiddled with the food on the fire...... Yes, there was actually something roasted on top of the fire, which should be the meat of a freshly picked star spirit beast.

"It's almost cooked, wait a minute, I'll give you something to eat right away." The woman still smiled.

That's why Tuoba Xiaocao thinks this is stupid...... Fresh barbecue, or don't eat your own barbecue, but have to eat the broken grilled fish that is cold and clean in the food box?

"Speaking of which...... Have I seen you somewhere? ”

"Who knows? After all, the chance of being in a hurry is far greater than knowing each other, isn't it? ”

"Ah...... That's right, too. Tuoba Xiaocao shrugged: "Besides, I'm really hungry, this is just right...... I'm hungry, old lady! (To be continued......)
