Chapter 475: Chapter 312: The Contingency Plan from Ten Thousand Years Ago

Regarding the complexity in Qi’s beautiful eyes, Xu Yuan felt not the slightest wavering in his heart.

Did Ghostification creatures possess emotions? Xu Yuan did not know.

But he did know that in this world, there is no such thing as unconditional love, nor does anyone treat you well without reason.

The indulgence and all the good feelings Qi showed him stemmed from his eventual transformation into a Ghostification creature.

If he were willing to become a Ghostification creature, if he did not have the antidote "Life Reversal Liquid," when his consciousness fully transformed into that of a Ghostification creature, perhaps he really would, as the Ghostification Queen said, stay with her until the end of time.

But the problem was, given a choice, Xu Yuan did not want to become a Ghostification creature, nor did he want to spend eternity with a monstrosity fused from blood and flesh.

This was an unavoidable contradiction.

Therefore,

facing Qi’s complex gaze, Xu Yuan replied lightly,

"Because I don’t want to become a Ghostification creature, and the current situation of the world does not tolerate the existence of Ghostification creatures."

Qi let out a light laugh from between her red lips, a touch of sudden self-mockery appeared on the face that belonged to Li Qingyan,

"I see, I probably understand now... there must be something beneath that Blood Pool, right?"

"......."

Xu Yuan did not respond, nor did he try to pull his arm out from her chest.

Because at this moment, the wound in Qi’s pierced chest had already sprouted numerous ghastly and horrifying flesh tendrils, which firmly anchored his arm inside her body.

Qi looked at Xu Yuan and said in a faint voice,

"Is it really like that, then? It seems that my consciousness and body have indeed been tampered with by someone."

Xu Yuan was not in a hurry, because Luo Xiran needed time to prepare. He replied softly,

"You... had you realized this before?"

Qi’s eyes revealed a trace of recollection,

"The human race imprisoned me to conduct research on flesh and blood, which lasted for more than a decade. I remember only that the process was very painful, but I have forgotten many specifics. Hmm... the only thing I remember is that the human race wanted to use my body to create the Blood Divine Stone to control me, and that it led to an internal conflict among them. However, this internal conflict of the human race ended with me being the ultimate victor."

Speaking of this,

Qi fell into slight silence, lowering her gaze to her own body,

"Now it seems, in addition to the Blood Divine Stone used to control my Ghostification race, those people from ten thousand years ago must have developed a drug to resist Ghostification as well, right?"

"You guessed correctly; there is indeed something hidden within a secret chamber beneath the Blood Pool."

Xu Yuan did not deny it and then looked at her with a hint of curiosity, and asked quietly, "But I’m rather curious about something. You’ve been in the Blood Nest for ten thousand years, and during that time, you never went down to the bottom of the Blood Pool to investigate?"

Qi shook her head,

"I cannot enter."

Xu Yuan’s eyes carried a trace of confusion as he sensed Qi through the shared awareness of the Ghostification creatures,

"The Life Origin in your body has been overflowing. Once you enter the Blood Pool, the Life Origin will rapidly erase your consciousness, but ten thousand years should not have gone by without you going down even once, right?"

Qi raised her finger and pointed to her head, her eyes cold, "My mind has been implanted with two rigid concepts. First, I need two Blood Divine Stones to break out of my prison; second, I must never enter the bottom of the Blood Pool. If Changtian had not appeared, I would probably never have any hope of escaping the Underground Palace in my lifetime."

"....." Xu Yuan.

Implanted ideas...

Why does that sound so familiar?

After a moment of thought, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered that Old Man Luo had once been tricked in this manner.

Previously, to ensure his safety, Xu Changge had Ghost Seven implant the idea of protecting Xu Yuan in Old Man Luo’s mind.

He never would have thought that such a method had existed ten thousand years ago.

However, it seems that these two clearly conflicting thought imprints must have been planted by different individuals...

"Youngster, stop thinking about it. This method is called Soul Shatter."

While thinking, Luo Xiran’s gentle voice suddenly resounded in Xu Yuan’s heart,

"I turned myself into a spirit-tuned essence fiend, and when I performed Soul Shatter on Qi, I implanted many Soul Shatter seals. One of them compelled her to immediately go to the bottom of the Blood Pool as soon as she got two Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendants.

"However, it looks like Su Luochen and Tang Wan’er were not fools. As they dissipated, they desperately modified the Soul Shatter seals I had placed in Qi."

"..."

Great, the attack and downfall of Jiatiange by the Sects ten thousand years ago really did scramble their brains.

Just within this Underground Palace, four Saints, even in death, used their final moments to inscribe Soul Shatter seals to outmaneuver each other, resulting in mutual destruction.

No wonder the Imperial dynasty was able to rise afterward.

Hearing Luo Xiran’s words, Xu Yuan immediately asked through will-spirit telepathy,

"Are you ready?"

Luo Xiran’s voice carried a smile:

"Of course."

As soon as the words fell,

a voice laced with a chill suddenly came through:

"Xu Changtian, who are you talking to?!"

Although covert, will-spirit communication could still be detected.

Qi sensed a soul-shaking wave of intention coming from the blood-clad figure before her.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan tugged at the corner of his mouth and said:

"If I say it’s Luo Xiran, would you believe me?"

"Luo Xiran?"

Hearing the name, amusement flashed clearly in Qi’s eyes. "If it’s Luo Xiran, then who am I?"

Xu Yuan did not respond but simply looked at her calmly.

In the silent exchange,

the Black Death Bacterial Armor that cloaked Xu Yuan’s body began to spread out beneath his robe like ants clinging to him, quickly taking shape beside him to form a corporeal body made up of the armor.

A dignified woman dressed in a lake blue flowing fairy dress.

Luo Xiran.

"...."

In their silent gaze,

the smile in Qi’s eyes gradually faded as she looked at Luo Xiran, and a hint of uncertainty flickered in her phoenix eyes. She opened her mouth:

"Luo... I... I... Luo... Qi... Luo Xiran..."

Immediately,

"Li Qingyan," the guise Qi had adopted, began to undergo some strange changes, with numerous bulges protruding from the flawless body, swelling out.

As her mind wavered, she seemed unable to maintain her human form.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan hurriedly asked in his mind:

"Xiran, what’s happening?"

"Brat, don’t be disrespectful all the time, call me senior."

Luo Xiran first spat out a light rebuke, then explained: "Ten thousand years ago, to make it easier for me to control the final victor, I planted more than one spiritual mark in Qi. Now it seems... Su Luochen and Tang Wan’er had not managed to completely remove the failsafe I left behind before their deaths."

As she spoke,

Luo Xiran’s hand gently lifted, pressing it onto Qi’s collapsing body, then turned her head leisurely towards Xu Yuan and said:

"Since this trick is still available, it seems I don’t need your help anymore, brat."

"...."

Not needing his help...

Upon hearing this,

a bad premonition subconsciously bubbled up in Xu Yuan’s heart; his vision of spirits opened, his Life Origin activated, and he was instantly prepared for battle.

However, the next moment,

Luo Xiran "tsk" laughed, raising her other hand and "pop" flicked Xu Yuan on the forehead. She bent her eyes into a smile and said:

"You little brat are really not cute at all. I told you not to always think about these pesky matters and yet you’re still so doubtful. What I meant was there is no need for you to fight with Qi, idiot."

"...." Xu Yuan.

As she finished speaking,

Qi’s body directly disintegrated, with flesh and blood dispersing only to be absorbed by Luo Xiran in an instant.

In a silent transition, days and nights passed.

Two days later,

Qi thus dissipated into the heavens and earth without any ability to resist, in the hands of Luo Xiran........

After finishing everything,

Luo Xiran slowly turned her gaze, looking towards Xu Yuan who waited quietly on the side, revealing a smiling expression:

"Brat, shall we continue now?"
