“That was just a fragment of her divine will, projected here. As for that woman, is she the heir of the Lianxin Luo Princess?
Is it a clone of the Dao?
Or is she merely a vessel for her divine will? I’m not sure…” Wanling Demon Lord shook his head, seemingly puzzled by the appearance of the Lianxin Luo Princess here.
“Si Si, she…” Qin Chen felt a surge of anxiety within.
“Your girlfriend is no longer here. I can sense that she has left this trial ground, and it’s very likely that Lianxin Luo Princess has taken her away. As for where she has gone, I cannot say, nor can I answer you…” Wanling Demon Lord seemed to understand Qin Chen’s thoughts: “Perhaps she has been brought to Lianxin Luo Princess' transformation realm, or maybe she is the reincarnation of Lianxin Luo Princess... or perhaps she has caught the attention of Lianxin Luo Princess and has become her heir. Anything is possible.”
“Si Si!”
Qin Chen’s heart ached. In this vast universe, how could he find Si Si?
Could she be in that dark abyss?
For a long time, Qin Chen couldn’t regain his focus.
The Flame Master shook his head. “You don’t need to worry. If it truly is Lianxin Luo Princess who has taken your beloved, then I believe she will be safe. Lianxin Luo Princess is the leader of the Demon Tribe, and Wanling Demon Lord holds her in high regard. Such a person would definitely not harm your girlfriend.”
Qin Chen gradually calmed down. No matter where Si Si went, he believed he would find her.
The Flame Master continued, “Wanling Demon Lord is an old friend of mine. Back in the Demon Realm, I contended for the Calamity Infernal Fire. If it weren’t for Wanling’s protection, I might have already died under the pursuit of the Demon Lords. After returning to the Heavenly Realm, I contacted Wanling Demon Lord, wanting to unite some righteous individuals within the Demon Tribe to fight against the dark forces.”
“However, the dark forces grew too rapidly…” The Flame Master fell into reminiscence.
As the Flame Master recounted, Qin Chen gradually learned of the events from back then. The Flame Master, a human, and Wanling Demon Lord, a demon, had surprisingly become old friends. They had exhausted all efforts to combat the dark forces but had never succeeded. Then one day, they conceived an exceedingly bold idea.
That is, whether human or demon, or other races, it was hard to resist the invasion of dark power. Once one accepted the dark power, they would be corroded, gradually turning into pawns of the dark forces.
Especially for the top experts of the demon and human races, once infused with dark power, their strength would dramatically increase. This was the main reason the dark forces could develop so quickly.
To combat the dark forces, Wanling Demon Lord and the Flame Master even considered merging the powers of humans and demons, hoping to resist the dark power. If successful, the dark power would not only be unable to corrupt the various races but could also become their strength to fight back against the dark forces.
The Flame Master himself was a master-level alchemist, and he led by example, personally absorbing demon power to turn himself into a half-human, half-demon being. However, this drew condemnation from the human race. Nevertheless, he cast everything aside and, together with Wanling Demon Lord, secretly sealed a powerful dark force expert in this demon-infested land and continued their research on it.
Their research had remained hidden, unknown to anyone. However, with the outbreak of the Heavenly War, they eventually became exposed, and this realm fell into chaos. Their research was also discovered by the Demon Tribe, and ultimately, after a brutal battle, they perished here.
Qin Chen was breathless; he never expected such events had transpired back then.
“Senior, did… you succeed?”
Qin Chen asked nervously. Utilizing the powers of both the human and demon races to resist the temptation of the dark power, turning the dark power into one's own strength—this idea was too audacious.
