"Entities: Ji Ming." No Chinese.

"This wave truly isn't Ji Ming being a pervert; according to his plan, he actually intended to strike unexpectedly, delivering a deadly ambush to the enemy." No Chinese.

No.

"After all, given Ji Ming's understanding of the Flower-rank Envoys, this bunch of lunatics simply cannot be analyzed with normal thinking; the strike must be steady, accurate, and ruthless." No Chinese.

"Entities: Flower-rank Envoy." No Chinese.

"Either instantly cast Suggestion Technique to directly give the target 100% mental control." No Chinese.

"Entities: Suggestion Technique." No Chinese.

"Or start with a zero-frame, smooth little combo, beating the target until they can be given 100% mental control!" No Chinese.

"Therefore, after Ji Ming clarified where Bai Lu was staying, he directly used a Breath-holding Talisman to climb over the wall and sneak in." No Chinese.

"Entities: Ji Ming, Bai Lu, Breath-holding Talisman." No Chinese.

"He had originally planned to first let the opponent conduct a check, ensure safety, then act when the target was most relaxed." No Chinese.

No.

"However, facts proved him wrong again; Bai Lu entered the door and performed no search at all, directly facing the mirror to begin removing her makeup." No Chinese.

"Entities: Bai Lu." No Chinese.

"Ji Ming initially thought this was definitely her wanting to play a reverse tactic, numbing potential ambushers—this was deliberately showing weakness to lure the enemy!" No Chinese.

No.

"Then he saw Bai Lu, after removing her makeup, take off her shoes, stretching while walking toward the rack holding the bathrobe, apparently intending to take off her armor." No Chinese.

No.

"Yes, if he didn't act now, the nature would change; he would truly go from being an ambushers to being a... cough cough." No Chinese.

No.

"You're playing me, huh!" No Chinese.

No.

And after using the Suggestion Technique in one strike to control Bai Lu, lifting up a shadow barrier, enveloping himself and her inside, Ji Ming suddenly realized.

In a way, when there is a latent danger yet one remains unalert, isn't that also a form of madness?

Ji Ming—has grown.

The purpose of Bai Lu's trip was quickly retrieved by Ji Ming from her memory vault.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't an especially malicious scheme, and it even seemed a bit out of character for Deep Forest people.

——Technology theft.

Perhaps because players have been farming so blissfully in the Radiant Western Realm lately, the Dense Forest Church, as industry insiders, quickly spotted the differences in that batch of crops.

After obtaining a few seeds from a daring spy and testing them, the Deep Forest people—who have been desperate for food and even paying high prices—were overjoyed.

"Sss, what a high yield!"

"Is this really rice? It's almost like a tree."

"Terrifying—this watermelon is entirely red inside, and it has no seeds?"

Although also a plant‑type deity, the followers' mindset shows that the Dense Forest God's tech tree has focused on bizarre offensive crops, with almost no research on human stomachs.

After all, professionals can't go hungry; as for the lowborn… if they starve, they starve, who cares?

So.

"I'm curious—did all the Deep Forest folk reincarnate as rabbit pups? How did the food supply suddenly become so scarce?"

Yet faced with Ji Ming's furrowed‑browed question, Bai Lu, still seated, could only utter a drooling line.

"Aba Aba…"

???

Oh, I forgot—she's still in a full mind‑control state.

But Ji Ming didn't dare to let go; he decided to treat first, then inquire, fully expelling the Dense Forest God's influence from Bai Lu's mind.

The result: when he prepared to perform the classic three‑step on Bai Lu, he discovered…

Gwee Gwee, how does her mind already contain a complete soul!

Could it be that she's the Dense Forest person's sixth uncle's daughter—a fellow—so she doesn't need a mind‑wipe?

If Ji Ming hadn't verified with every Flower‑rank envoy under him—since a corrupted soul by the Dense Forest God is the requisite test for promotion to Flower rank—he would have wondered whether he'd misset the parameters.

So why…

Ji Ming calmed himself and examined closely, finding that within Bai Lu's divine consciousness, besides a soul that is relatively weak and juvenile for this level…

…there are also obvious fragments of a crushed soul surrounding it, and the aura fluctuations confirm they are indeed pieces of her own soul.

Could it be?

Ji Ming's heart stirred, but instead of hastily reaching out, he observed the subtlety from the side.

As expected, it soon led him to an unexpected discovery.

Though a broken mirror cannot be restored and burnt charcoal cannot become a towering tree again, Bai Lu's soul evidently defies that law.

After being completely crushed by a Thus we will have Cultivation: Zhen Shen, her soul not only failed to dissipate but remained steadfast, even gradually recovering.

So when Ji Ming penetrated her divine consciousness, Bai Lu's soul had already regained normal functioning.

In other words, from an incomprehensible lunatic she reverted to a logically clear, orderly normal person!

But is that normal?

"Little boss, this can't be the next‑generation savior you summoned in advance, the one with absolute soul‑shielding cheat, can it?"

【How could this be!】

【Putting aside that you haven't failed yet, just to summon you I expended massive energy; in a short time I can't pull anyone from other universes.】

Now Ji Ming is completely at a loss.

However, when you can't find a solution path, meticulously checking with the simplest method is certainly not wrong.

And after scanning Bai Lu's entire memory, Ji Ming indeed uncovered a new clue.

——This person's past memories are thorough, but they're a bit too 'complete.'

Even remembering clearly the cruel acts of wetting the bed at four, fighting at five, and pulling a little boy's pants at six—can this still be a normal child?

At this point, Ji Ming can conclude.

Damned, this time it might be a fellow practitioner!

If my strength weren't superior and my strategy a move ahead, I might have had my mind wiped by the opponent.

Nevertheless, I now control the opponent, so the initiative is in my hands.

So…

Stop here and flee immediately?

If Bai Lu reports the inexplicable mental attack she suffered to the Dense Forest God, I'd have a hard time saying anything—so many Flower‑rank brothers who pledged allegiance would all be in danger, wouldn't they?

Force the hypnosis to continue, turning the opponent into the Supreme God's dog?

If the opponent can't resist his hypnosis but can resist memory erasure, at least the self‑check gradually reveals the issue.

Or perhaps her mind also possesses the ability to gradually break free from hypnosis and regain self‑awareness.

When Bai Lu finishes the business here and returns to Deep Forest, once she's out of my control, I'll go report to the Dense Forest God…

The good brothers would be exposed too!

Now it's a mess—my single‑mindedness has turned into a double‑ended blockage.

Before clarifying the specifics, Ji Ming is neither advancing nor retreating; he can only sit in the middle, staring blankly.

【Don't rush, Savior, please place your hand on the back of her head and let me check as well; perhaps we'll discover something.】

"Hmm, fine."

Ji Ming naturally complied at once, letting the little boss also dive into Bai Lu's mind.

Bai Lu: …

Needless to say, Ms. Bai Lu is quite fortunate, able to have the Supreme God and the World Will triumph and meet inside her skull.

Two big shots attending to her alone—could this bit of fortune be any smaller?

But the little boss who had rushed into Bai Lu's skull in a flurry remained silent for a long time before finally blurting out a sentence.

【Eh!?】

「How? 」

【No, nothing, let me look again, look again.】

A moment later……

「Are you actually capable or not? 」

【Don't rush.】

After a period of time……

「excuseme？」

【Almost there.】

A very long time later……

【Hey, I got it!】

Ji Ming, who had been sleeping on the ground, quickly got up.

「How is it? What's the situation? 」

【I can guarantee, she is definitely not any savior!】

「……」

【Uh, don't rush, this isn't my fault either!】

Actually, the little boss, upon contacting Bai Lu's soul, instantly felt a very familiar sensation, and could assure himself that he had contacted this person before.

But it compared the savior backups left at hand one by one, three full times, yet this special existence before it didn't match any of them.

But if the scope were expanded, starting from all the Yang-month living beings it had contacted, conducting a second investigation……

Sorry, there are too many targets.

Even as strong as the World Will, it cannot, after experiencing over a hundred thousand years of lengthy and complex history, still record every character so clearly.

「Sigh, forget it, it's just a screw-up, I admit it! 」

Since things have come to this, Ji Ming simply stopped worrying, directly activated the teleportation array, and kidnapped Bai Lu back to the underground city.

No matter what you are, I don't believe it—after all, you've come into the realm of this Supreme God; can a petty thief like you really overturn heaven?
