Chapter 1008 - 771: Methods to Resist the Suction Force (Part 2)

Chapter 1008: Chapter 771: Methods to Resist the Suction Force (Part 2)

The place fell into a long silence, with only the trembling voice of the woman remaining.

After a moment, the woman slowly lifted her head, a trace of relief in her eyes.

"Refreshing! I’ve finally avenged you, and your spirits in heaven can also be comforted."

After saying this, the woman turned to look at Qin An and Emperor Xuanwu, and before the two could speak, she straightforwardly began to speak.

"My name is Zhou Lingyu, from the Li Yue World. We cultivate ourselves by harnessing the power of the moon. What are your names and from which world do you come?"

Although the great revenge had been taken, Zhou Lingyu did not relax in the least.

Because, compared to that so-called middle-aged man, Qin An and Emperor Xuanwu were the ones who needed to be taken seriously.

As Zhou Lingyu could sense, both Qin An and Emperor Xuanwu brought enormous pressure to her, a cultivator of the same level.

Therefore, Zhou Lingyu’s mood was extremely grave at the moment.

Emperor Xuanwu noticed Zhou Lingyu’s thoughts, shook his head slightly, and said, "Rest assured, we mean no harm, how could we cause you any harm?"

Zhou Lingyu furrowed her brows.

After a long while, she exhaled deeply and said.

"It’s great that you’re not competing with me, but I know you must have something to discuss with me. I don’t know what it is, but as long as I can help, I won’t refuse."

She felt that she was being honest, and besides, there was no way around it because she had no right to refuse.

After all, in front of her were two cultivators in the No-Self Realm, who could easily crush her like an ant.

Emperor Xuanwu didn’t speak further, but turned to look at Qin An, implying that Qin An should ask, as he would be more thorough.

Because the aura Qin An felt was different from Emperor Xuanwu’s, Qin An had faced that world directly and had also forged unparalleled depth in the Selfless Realm, making him the best person to ask.

Qin An thought for a moment and said: "Have you ever sensed a mysterious and miraculous world, and upon sensing it, found that this world is gradually stripping away your emotions and consciousness? Over time, you’ll become a being without your own emotions?"

After saying this, Zhou Lingyu first showed a questioning expression, then gritted her teeth and nodded.

"When I first stepped into the No-Self Realm, I already felt it, and this powerful suction, while seeming extremely slow, never stops. All I can do is buy time."

Emperor Xuanwu, listening at the side, nodded after hearing this.

"Indeed, it aligns perfectly with my guess. It turns out the No-Self Realm is the true dividing line, a road distinguishing life from death."

Qin An further asked: "Then, after feeling the suction from that world, have you felt anything different?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingyu paused briefly, then tightly furrowed her brows.

This reaction made both Qin An and Emperor Xuanwu sense a difference.

They suspected that Zhou Lingyu might know something but hadn’t said it outright.

And sure enough, after Zhou Lingyu pondered for a moment, she finally revealed her thoughts.

"Actually, when I reached the No-Self Realm, I didn’t feel any difference, but when I destroyed the beings in the Heavenly Demon World, I felt an anomaly."

"Every time I destroyed a being from the Celestial Demon World, I could feel the suction getting stronger, and perhaps it won’t be long before I’m entirely drawn into that mysterious and terrifying world."

Qin An furrowed his brow tighter, carefully pondering Zhou Lingyu’s words.

The words Zhou Lingyu had just spoken contained a crucial piece of information: the more one destroys the remaining beings of the Celestial Demon World, the more likely one is to be drawn into that mysterious world.

But what is the principle behind this?

Emperor Xuanwu shared the same expression as Qin An; however, after thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly sparkled.

"Wait a minute, Qin An, I just thought of a problem that might be the reason for this situation."

Qin An raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Majesty, just tell me directly."

Emperor Xuanwu didn’t dilly-dally and began to explain his hypothesis: "As our power grows stronger, the risk of us being drawn in gets greater. Moreover, the longer we stay in the Celestial Demon World, the more power is drawn from us."

"In other words, what she kept mentioning about destroying beings from the Celestial Demon World might be because this broken world, without those beings, cannot resist the suction, and is then drawn in faster by it?"

"Also, since she destroys these beings while in the Celestial Demon World, the account is settled with her."

After saying this, Emperor Xuanwu said no more, for he felt he had explained it very clearly and adding more would be pointless.

Qin An listened carefully, and after hearing it, he furrowed his brow even tighter.

This hypothesis of Emperor Xuanwu might truly make sense, but it doesn’t seem to be of much use to them.

For there seems to be no possibility of mitigating that suction, and instead, it might even intensify it.

Emperor Xuanwu noticed the expression on Qin An’s face and said again: "Actually, this matter can be reversed."

Qin An snapped back to reality, reflecting on the "reverse" mentioned by Emperor Xuanwu, with a glimmer in his eyes.

"I understand, I seem to understand your point. You’re saying if our world possesses more beings, perhaps the power to resist that suction will be stronger, and since we are inherently from that world, upon reaching the No-Self Realm, our ability to resist the suction would also correspondingly strengthen, is that what you mean?"

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said: "That’s right, that’s precisely what I mean. This might be the only way to resolve it."

Qin An gently tapped the scabbard with his finger, feeling there was a great possibility that what Emperor Xuanwu said was true.

Zhou Lingyu had been listening from the side, not being foolish, and after hearing their conversation, finally understood.

Then, without pretension, she said: "Can I go to your world?"

After reaching the No-Self Realm, she too could feel the suction growing stronger. She didn’t want to become a being devoid of emotions, hence the thought.

Qin An nodded: "Of course you can, we welcome a cultivator in the No-Self Realm to come to our world."

The stronger the world’s power, the stronger the resistance to that suction.

Qin An certainly wouldn’t refuse.

Moreover, Zhou Lingyu, no matter how you put it, is a master of the No-Self Realm, and in case of future interaction with that terrifying world, she’s a considerable asset.

Zhou Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought she would have to talk more, but surprisingly, it really became possible.

Qin An didn’t pay attention to Zhou Lingyu’s expression, and instead turned to look at Emperor Xuanwu, and said: "Can those Demon Pseudo-Gods count as the world’s power?"

Since Demon Pseudo-Gods are also beings, can they be considered as the world’s power?

Qin An felt there might be something to this.

Emperor Xuanwu thought for a moment and nodded: "Perhaps they can be, but we should keep them within a controllable range."

Now that the Daqian Kingdom was unrivaled, implementing Emperor Xuanwu’s approach posed no difficulty.

The two planned to go back and experiment with this idea.

But before they could leave, Zhou Lingyu suddenly remembered something.

She hesitated for a moment and then said.

"You mentioned the Demon Pseudo-Gods just now, I have a way to quickly add to the world’s power."
