Chapter 227

He truly had no spirit left.

An Emanator?

The man before him was far stronger than an Emanator.

In this special space, it even gave Shuhu the feeling of facing an Aeon.

And an Aeon was an existence Shuhu could never compare to.

"I never break my word, even if you are an enemy."

"However, I suggest you hurry; otherwise, if I lose my patience, I might do it myself."

"By then, you might not have this chance."

Lin Qi’s voice was flat.

As if he were speaking of a trivial, inconsequential matter.

And that was indeed the case.

If it weren't for the fact that the sinister dragon’s consciousness was entirely influenced by Shuhu’s Abundance power, having Shuhu do it himself would be more efficient.

Lin Qi would have done it himself long ago.

On the other side.

Upon hearing Lin Qi’s words, Shuhu didn't dare to delay at all.

Because he knew Lin Qi truly had that ability.

Afterward.

The Abundance power on the sinister dragon began to peel away bit by bit, and the influence similar to "Mara-Struck" caused by the Abundance power also weakened bit by bit.

Then.

The sinister dragon’s eyes began to clear.

No longer filled with killing intent as before.

Fortunately, this was the Synesthesia Dream, and the sinister dragon had no physical form; otherwise, as the Abundance power was stripped away, its body might have collapsed.

Although it was affected here, Lin Qi could completely fill the void left after the Abundance power was extracted through his authority of creation.

After another while.

When Shuhu had completely stripped away the Abundance power.

The sinister dragon’s eyes became completely clear.

It could no longer be called a "sinister dragon."

There was even a human-like "confusion" in its eyes.

There was even a voice.

"Where is this? How did I... become like this?"

147. Bai Heng’s Two Choices

Bai Heng opened her eyes and felt something was wrong.

First.

Her own state was wrong.

She found herself in a very high place, but she couldn't feel the presence of a skiff.

Although as a pilot, she was very accustomed to high altitudes.

But flying in the sky without any footing still made her feel uneasy.

After her senses recovered a bit more.

She suddenly discovered that something seemed wrong.

Not only did she have no skiff, but even her body seemed to have a problem.

Huh?

How did I become...

A dragon?

Although she couldn't see her current appearance, Bai Heng could still determine her current state through features like claws, scales, a tail, and so on.

After all, she had once seen Dan Heng’s dragon form.

So she still had an impression.

But no matter what, she couldn't imagine that she would actually become a dragon.

This was simply too strange.

Then.

Bai Heng recalled what she had done before her consciousness dissipated.

That’s not right!

Didn't she use the "Black Sun" to deal with Shuhu?

That "Black Sun," in a sense, was actually a black hole.

It contained immense power.

It was also her final secret weapon.

Seeing that even Dan Feng’s dragon form couldn't contend with Shuhu, Bai Heng knew that the situation had reached its most critical moment.

She had to use her final resort to save her companions.

As for whether it would succeed, she actually had no idea.

But she knew that if she didn't do this, there was no chance of victory at all.

Besides.

Whether Shuhu would be killed, she truly didn't know.

However, there was one thing she did know.

And that was that she would definitely die!

How could she, a mortal of flesh and blood, withstand the storm caused by the "Black Sun"?

It was impossible.

Therefore.

Before preparing to act, Bai Heng had actually held the resolve to die.

But what Bai Heng didn't expect was.

That she would actually...

Recover her consciousness?

It was just that her current state was truly a bit strange.

Not only that.

There was also a young man standing below.

Judging by his attire, he didn't look like a Luofu Luofu Xianzhou native at all.

So...

What is the situation now?

Just as she was thinking this.

The young man in her sight raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke.

"It seems you have regained consciousness; the experiment was quite successful."

Lin Qi discovered the change in the "sinister dragon" immediately.

That incredibly human-like gaze was the best example.

"Experiment?"

"What experiment?"

"Where am I now? Where is Miss Miss Jingliu? And where is everyone else?" Bai Heng couldn't help but ask.

Come to think of it.

Fortunately, this was the Synesthesia Dream; under Lin Qi’s control, the way Bai Heng’s voice was transmitted was not through the sinister dragon’s body, but through her soul essence.

Otherwise, Bai Heng wouldn't have been able to say so much before breaking down because of her own voice.

Lin Qi explained, "Everyone? You mean the High-Cloud Quintet, right? I regret to tell you that the High-Cloud Quintet is already a thing of the past."

"What did you say? Did I... did I fail?"

Bai Heng’s tone trembled; she couldn't believe it.

Then she felt a sense of powerlessness.

After all, she had already used her final resort, yet the outcome couldn't be changed.

Then even if she was unwilling, what could she do?

At this time.

Lin Qi spoke again.

"It’s not as serious as you think; to be precise, your plan succeeded. Shuhu indeed couldn't withstand your final strike; you won that battle."

"Is that so..."

Bai Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but then her heart tightened, and she asked,

"Then why did you say the High-Cloud Quintet is a thing of the past?"

In Bai Heng’s view, even if she died, the other four members of the High-Cloud Quintet wouldn't immediately fall apart; they should have remained united and continued to fight against the abominations.

Yet listening to this person’s tone, the High-Cloud Quintet was already history.

Lin Qi didn't waste words; with a thought, a giant light screen displayed a rough overview of the "Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion" that had occurred hundreds of years ago.

Allowing Bai Heng to understand the full picture of the events.

Then, as time passed, the confusion in Bai Heng’s heart gradually turned into sorrow.

When she saw Dan Feng, in order to resurrect her, not hesitating to use the Transmutation Arcana on her, she subconsciously thought it was inappropriate.

And linked her current state to the Transmutation Arcana.

The facts were indeed much the same.

It was just that hundreds of years ago, she had no reason at all.

Then...

She, transformed into a sinister dragon, fell under Miss Miss Jingliu’s sword.

This meant that Miss Miss Jingliu had killed her own best friend with her own hands!

The subsequent events.

Even without watching further, Bai Heng could guess the general idea.

Sure enough.

The High-Cloud Quintet members were either dead or scattered; except for Jing Yuan, who became the General of the Luofu, none of them had a good ending.

For a moment.

Bai Heng felt incomparable sorrow.

But soon.

She realized a problem.

Since the sinister dragon shown in the video had no reason at all and had already fallen under Miss Miss Jingliu’s sword, what was her situation now?

"Realized it?"

"Your reaction isn't slow."

"I thought you would be dazed for a while longer."

Lin Qi laughed.

When Bai Heng regained consciousness, Lin Qi had noticed.

But he didn't immediately tell her the cause and effect, choosing to wait instead.

To let her have a buffer process.

After all, she was a soul fragment just separated from Bailu; if the shock was too great, she might become unstable.

Now it was about right.

Lin Qi continued to explain, "Seriously speaking, you are actually already dead, and more than once. The reason I was able to save you is mainly related to your reincarnated self, Bailu. Her past-life memories, which are you, have always been hidden deep in her mind, but no one had dug them out. So, the current you is actually just a memory; you haven't truly been resurrected."

"I’ll give you two choices."

"One is to be eternally trapped here; the other is to work for me. The dragon’s characteristics will remain unchanged, and I will give you a suitable body so you can truly be resurrected."

"Hmm, if nothing goes wrong, that will also be a dragon."

148. The Current State of the Luofu, the Anxious Yanqing

After hearing the choices Lin Qi gave, Bai Heng only hesitated for a moment.

Before making her choice.

"The second one; if I were to be trapped here forever, I feel I would go crazy."

Many Foxians are born pilots.

And Bai Heng was a standout among them.

And pilots absolutely yearn for the sky and freedom.

They are even more adventurous.

If Bai Heng were only allowed to stay in one place, she would rather not be resurrected.

Therefore.

The second choice was better.

Although she wouldn't be living in her original body, at least she could move around in the outside world, and...

Can't dragons fly?

Doesn't that mean she wouldn't need a skiff?

From this perspective, it was definitely a plus!

"Not going to consider it a bit more?"

Lin Qi couldn't help but be stunned to see Bai Heng agree so quickly.

"There’s nothing to consider; for me, freedom is more important," Bai Heng said decisively.

However, she still had one worry, "Mr. Lin Qi, in the video you showed me, there were scenes of the sinister dragon I transformed into causing destruction on the Luofu. Does that mean that after I was resurrected by Dan Feng in that form, I went directly out of control?"

"That is the case," Lin Qi nodded.

"Then if that’s the case... I think I’d better consider it again."

Bai Heng’s tone was low.

There was no helping it.

She was just that kind of person; although she preferred freedom, if it would cause harm to others, she was willing to give up that freedom.

Just as she chose to sacrifice herself to gain a chance for her companions to live.

At this moment.

Bai Heng had realized this problem and felt that resurrecting in a dragon body might be a bit inappropriate.

What if she went out of control again?

But Lin Qi’s next words reignited hope in her heart.

"The reason the sinister dragon went out of control actually lay with Dan Feng. When he resurrected you, he added the flesh and blood of an Emanator of Abundance, which is that Shuhu you sacrificed yourself to deal with. But now, he will no longer affect you."

Lin Qi explained, "Because his consciousness is with me now."

As he spoke.

Lin Qi looked at the twisted flesh and blood on the side and said, "Come out, let your old friend see you."

Lin Qi’s words were directed at Shuhu.

There was no helping it.

Lin Qi had to dispel the anxiety in Bai Heng’s heart; otherwise, there might be hidden dangers after she was resurrected in a physical form.

On the other side.

Shuhu cursed inwardly.

When Lin Qi asked him to strip away the Abundance power, he had roughly guessed what Lin Qi was going to do.

He didn't expect.

Lin Qi would actually make him come out and show his face.

Isn't this losing face?

But the situation was stronger than the person; so what if he was an Emanator?

In front of Lin Qi, didn't he still have no power to fight back?

Therefore.
