CHAPTER 690: CHAPTER 403: OMINOUS? I’M ITS OLD CUSTOMER_2

Let the power of the Abyss be revived, and the Gods of old descend.

Although it was only mentioned before that the great God was involved, it didn’t explicitly say whether it was the Evil God.

But now it seems...

that the True God here refers not only to the Evil God but also to the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Blood Demon.

The arrangement of the dark liquid, every Venerable is using it to temper their own strength, and the previously hinted at Blood Demon Power also signifies the ultimate evolution.

All of this is almost clear now...

It’s all to select three bodies for the three Gods of the Abyss, and the Venerables are likely not the chosen of the Evil God, but of the Lord of Darkness.

As for how the Evil God and Blood Demon choose...

Su Qi turned his eyes toward the Demon Land projected from the Ancient World.

The doll thought Su Qi had fallen silent out of fear, unable to speak.

But it shook its head.

Why bother with such things? To dabble due to curiosity, to learn what should not be known, to meddle in affairs beyond one’s part, only invites disaster.

"So I’ll ask one last question."

"You have more questions?" the doll widened its eyes: "I’ve told everything I should about that place, it’s taboo, there’s no more information."

"It’s not about that place, it’s about..." Su Qi said with a light smile, "You."

The doll was startled.

"Although I don’t know if you’re the only one who escaped from there," Su Qi continued, "luck isn’t really just luck."

Since it was clear that that place is the Dark World, a Fragment of the Ancient Battlefield tainted by the power of two Gods...

Previously, Chenxing also mentioned that, according to ancient records and personal testimonies, they deduced that this Fragment of the Ancient Battlefield was just a corner... of a world where a low-level war had burst forth.

So, the beings trapped inside were expected to be war bands from multiple dimensions, along with the Abyssal war powers.

To escape from there wouldn’t be easy, and moreover... this doll had clearly left a long time ago and had experienced quite a bit in the Present World.

In fact, it coincided with the calculated time nodes for many ancient revivals, plus the time taken to recover strength, it all matched perfectly.

After all...

Many ancient powers had previously rarely shown themselves, for like Old Huang, they were weak upon their Recovery and needed time to regain their strength.

This one year was just enough time; the burst of activity from the Land of Extreme Evil had also brought together many ancient powers lying in wait for their return.

The doll seemed to follow a similar process, but in reality, it came from the world of that Fragment of the Ancient Battlefield, its origin naturally was not simple.

Moreover, the Ominous sign had never appeared, which probably had something to do with the Old Days.

To be honest... this situation felt somewhat familiar.

Su Qi’s eyebrows raised.

He looked toward An Nan who was talking with Chenxing.

An Nan suddenly paused, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but soon his attention was taken away by his conversation with Chenxing.

That settled it.

An Nan was in the same situation, also entangled with Ominous circumstances, and if it weren’t for his special methods, even Black Cat wouldn’t have been able to send him safely away from the Old Days.

In other words...

The doll’s background must be significant, at least on the same level as An Nan, if not higher, and it also comes from the Fantasy Dimension.

The doll, however, spoke with a firm voice: "I’m sorry, I refuse to disclose that matter."

Its eyes were as resolute as iron, with determination and composure, and even a bit of cold hardness in its tone!

"Even if you crush my Fantasy Stone."

As if it was prepared to face death!

Su Qi watched the doll’s steadfast demeanor, his eyebrows raising, his interest intensifying.

See?

I knew there was something.

It would rather reveal forbidden matters, including many secrets, yet not share a hint of its own origins, its background.

"What I should say, I’ve said; kill or maim as you wish!" said the doll decisively and with vigor, carrying an undeniable cold firmness!

But Su Qi merely smiled gently: "Xiao Ou, don’t be so violent. Murder and maim? Do I look like that kind of person?"

"If you don’t wish to speak, why would I force you."

The doll: "?"

???

"Have you lost your memory of everything that just happened!!"

"Everything that just happened was just the meeting of our fates, a belated encounter, so we were just having a heart-to-heart."

Holy shit!

Absolutely shameless!

The doll’s eyes widened, shocked to the core!

"Don’t make such a face, we’re friends, right?" said Su Qi, shaking his head, "You ask me anything, and I’ll spill the beans, hold nothing back."

The doll: "..."

We’re not bros, and I didn’t even want to ask you anything!!

It grumbled a bit morosely, "So what secrets do you have then?"

"Plenty," said Su Qi, speaking openly, "I’m tight with that Evil God I just mentioned, the Lord of Darkness has bestowed upon me his strength, and even the Lord of the Blood Demon has granted me favors."

The doll’s eyes widened even further, its pupils contracted - though it was only a slight twitch - and then it cursed under its breath.

"Divine Gold!"

Talk about revealing all, holding nothing back, just spewing nonsense left and right; this kind of talk would embarrass anyone who heard it, and I’d laugh at them for a lifetime.

Of course, the Luo Shenfu caught this telepathically as well.

He was somewhat speechless, although he was used to Daozi always saying strange things, these words still made him want to retort.

But Su Qi wasn’t done.

"Including this world, the Holy Artifacts it’s searching for, and even the Seven Great Demons you speak of, they should all be related to me," Su Qi mused.

The doll: "....."

"Furthermore," Su Qi paused briefly, "the statue in Survivor Town was built by me; as the eye of the storm, I had to step forward and face the Abyss head-on."

It just keeps going, huh!

And he looks dead serious, not a hint of self-awareness that he’s blathering on!

Could it be that those with extremely high spiritual power must pay a mental price for their gifts?

It could tell Su Qi possessed astonishing spiritual power, easily surpassing its own, but to be honest, other than that, everything seemed normal.

And normal, in this world, among the many Heavenly Prides, would be considered ordinary.

"What, you don’t believe me?" Su Qi quirked a lip.

"I believe, oh how I believe," it pressed a paw to its forehead, "I’d even believe you if you claimed to be the Evil God himself!"

It was drowning in bitterness, having had enough, "So why do you need my guidance to seek out the Holy Artifacts... Just deal with it yourself!"

"No, my strength hasn’t reached the point where it can be unsealed," said Su Qi with grave sincerity.

"So?"

"I need your help by my side to retrieve all the Holy Artifacts, confront the many demons, and even the Abyss!"

"When the time comes... I’ll appoint you as General Hustler. That thing you carry, I can help you handle it," Su Qi added with an elusive chuckle.

The doll rolled its eyes.

Good grief.

After a roundabout conversation, it’s just nonsense; basically, asking me for help!

Wait, ugh!

What help.

I’ve been coerced, with my Fantasy Stone completely in his grip!

As for that last part, of course, it straight-up ignored, what nonsense about becoming General Hustler, along with the offer to take care of whatever’s haunting it...

Talking as though it was the gospel truth.

This kid, he has no idea the kind of mission it carries – a task it’s sworn to protect at the cost of its very life.

"Alright, I’ve got it, I’m diving back," the doll grumbled.

"Suit yourself then, we’ll talk once we arrive."

Su Qi watched the doll settle into a silent, motionless state, and didn’t pursue the matter further.

These days.

Even the truth finds unbelievers.

Sigh.

That’s where trust between people is at, tragic really.

Of course.

This was the first time Su Qi had proactively talked like this – the doll’s background is complicated, and it might even be deeply intertwined with its own dimension.

After all.

Several dimensions seem to have been plundered and destroyed; the Immortal Path and Mechanical Dimension are such examples.

And the Fantasy Dimension... if it still exists, and this mysterious doll in front of him,

Still carries a mission related to it,

Then.

Its identity is somewhat foreseeable.
