Chapter 954: Chapter 744: Descent, The Shadow_2

Even though the will of these worlds only had instinct and no intellect, they could still sense that Qin An was different from those Heavenly Demons.

Subsequently, the will of this world actually abandoned attacking Qin An, just exhibiting slight wariness.

Qin An let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: "Indeed, my method wasn’t wrong."

What he had just done was to utilize the so-called instinct of the will.

Something that exists only with instinct is, in fact, easier to handle at times.

Not being attacked, Qin An didn’t waste time. After pondering for a moment, he finally thought of a solution.

Then, Qin An channeled his consciousness through the Dragon Vein, immersing it into the will of the world.

Afterward, he spread his consciousness and swiftly circulated his own aura.

At the instant his aura circulated, the will of this shattered world seemed to sense his identity as the Savior and chose to surrender without hesitation.

"It’s over this quickly?"

Qin An murmured slightly, a look of surprise in his eyes: "I thought it would take much time and effort, and I was even prepared for failure."

Indeed, he was prepared for failure because, for him, making the will of the world surrender wasn’t a simple task. Yet now, it had succeeded effortlessly.

After a moment of deep thought, Qin An came to an answer: "I understand now, so that’s how it is."

The reason the so-called will of the world surrendered was not only that he already possessed the will of the Divine Soul World but, more importantly, when he released his aura, this world’s will received the information of the Savior and realized the Savior is the hope to save the world.

Because of this, the will of the world considered Qin An to be on its side and chose to surrender.

"If that’s the case, I can use this move for those shattered worlds that follow."

Qin An instantly came up with an idea.

He didn’t waste any time because, for him, every single second was extremely precious now.

Soon, Qin An once again harnessed the power of the Sea of Hope, disappearing from this shattered world.

With Qin An’s disappearance, his consciousness once again experienced a sense of dizziness.

However, when his consciousness awoke again, he found himself in another world.

This place was still scorched earth, as though it had been burned by fire, looking around, all was a scene of devastation.

Upon appearing, Qin An immediately utilized the original method to continue making the will of this shattered world surrender to him.

The process was smooth and simple; in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qin An entirely gathered this world’s shattered will.

But even with such speed, Qin An felt no excitement or joy.

Because he realized his speed was still somewhat slow compared to others, not to mention, in the information the Plague Emperor provided, there were many shattered worlds, and he had yet to find a shortcut.

If he proceeded at this rate, he would indeed expend too much time.

Qin An thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth: "There’s no choice. Since I haven’t detected any anomalies, I must continue."

With this thought, Qin An prepared to once again harness the power of the Sea of Hope to head to the next shattered world.

He didn’t hesitate, and his figure disappeared from this shattered world once more.

...

With his consciousness gradually clearing, Qin An arrived at the third shattered world.

This place was still scorched earth. Once he landed, he wasted no time trying to stir the shattered consciousness here.

He originally thought it would go as smoothly as before, and after reclaiming it, he could immediately head to the next world.

But just as he was about to arouse the shattered will of this world, he felt a trace of abnormality, like a gaze was observing him from afar.

Qin An immediately turned his head towards the direction of that gaze.

Next, he saw a shadow fleetingly pass at the edge of the scorched earth in front, seemingly ready to run upon sensing his gaze.

Qin An squinted, then operated the Void Essence within him, transforming into several afterimages, rushing toward the fleeing shadow.

He hadn’t expected there to be a second person in what seemed like a normal shattered world.

Since it appeared, he intended to find out who this figure was.

Qin An was currently at the Great Success level of the Celestial Human Realm; in the Daqian Kingdom, only Emperor Xuanwu could rival him.

So, his pursuit speed was beyond what ordinary Celestial Human Realm experts could follow.

Yet the shadow ahead possessed a speed akin to Qin An’s, maintaining an inexplicable balance between them.

At this moment, Qin An finally saw the true form of the shadow.

It was merely a shadow, without facial features or appearance, constructed purely from shadow.

If anything resembled a human, it was merely the outline of a person.

This peculiar discovery made Qin An furrow his brows tightly.

He couldn’t comprehend what identity this shadow before him possessed.

He could only continue the chase.

After all, with the shadow’s extraordinary speed, a slight pause on Qin An’s part would mean the shadow could vanish without a trace.

As time wore on, Qin An realized the shadow was too fast, and he couldn’t close the distance for the time being.

If he continued the pursuit like this, he’d exhaust his time, and those Heavenly Demons would soon perceive his presence, dooming him to a point of no return.

"Forget it, there’s no need to keep chasing. Since you refuse to stop, I’ll find a way to make you stop."

Qin An placed his hand on the Cold Star at his waist, not slowing his pace.

Drawing the Cold Star, he swung his weapon.

A terrifying blade aura, carrying destructive power strong enough to annihilate a city, flew forth with incredible speed, catalyzed by Qin An’s Void Essence, outpacing their running speed considerably.

In an instant, the blade aura pursued the shadow, shrinking the gap between them rapidly.

Seemingly sensing the blade aura behind, the shadow turned back and cast a jet of black light.

The black light struck the blade aura precisely, obliterating it.

An attack capable of destroying a city turned to dust.

However, this was exactly what Qin An hoped for.

After the shadow made this attack, it paused slightly.

Since they were already in a pursuit, Qin An instantly closed the distance at the shadow’s halt, and in a flash, he stood before the shadow.

"You can’t escape. Surrender quietly. Don’t worry, I won’t harm your life, but I do need to understand who or what you are."

Standing in front of the shadow, Qin An spoke with a tone as calm as a profound ocean, eyes locked firmly on the shadow.

A minor move by the shadow and Qin An would strike without hesitation, resolving the threat it posed.

After all, it was a ticking bomb, with its true nature unknown.

The shadow abruptly halted. Lacking facial features meant no expressions were visible, but one could sense the fear emanating from it.

Like a feeling of bewilderment before a powerful foe.

Qin An squinted, sensing a faint familiarity from the shadow but failing to recall it immediately.

While pondering, the shadow finally reacted.

The shadow trembled and shrank, emitting a sound composed of various voices.

"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! You’ve killed me too many times already, and if this continues, I truly will die!"

When these words fell, Qin An’s frown deepened.

"What do you mean by too many times?"

These words seemed baffling, leaving Qin An momentarily stunned.

At that time, the shadow, clutching its head, spoke once again.
