This slash was truly exhilarating!
So satisfying!
Shui Miao realized that in this virtual world, his movements had become faster, his strength greater, and the sensation was absolutely amazing.
“Shua shua shua!”
The wolf pack surged forward, and Shui Miao, without hesitation, swung his blade with full force. In the blink of an eye, the wolves were all cut in half.
What a rush! So incredibly satisfying!
Shui Miao burst into laughter, sheathed his saber, and shouted loudly that this game was fantastic!
At that moment, a little boy crept out from the shadows.
He looked around and began speaking to Shui Miao, unfortunately in Mongolian, which Shui Miao couldn’t understand at all.
After glancing at the boy, Shui Miao sat cross-legged, preparing to calm his mind and break through the illusion.
Unexpectedly, the boy spoke to him in broken Chinese, “Dad… if your name is Yesugei, then what’s mine?”
“What do you mean?”
Shui Miao blinked his eyes, looking at the boy. Suddenly, a thought struck him—could it be that this little boy was the one who brought him here? Perhaps he had lost his memory and only remembered his father’s appearance and name! Then he transformed into a little boy to ask Shui Miao if he knew who he really was.
“I forgot. I don’t know why, but I can’t remember anything anymore!” The boy stared intently at Shui Miao.
Shui Miao scratched his head and replied nonchalantly, “To be honest, I’m not very familiar with the Mongolians. But I seem to have heard the name Yesugei somewhere before. I just can’t recall it right now.”
“Please, please try to remember! I want to know who I am. Help me, please help me!”
The boy became visibly excited.
Shui Miao looked at the boy and squatted down, speaking calmly, “Friends should be sincere with each other. If someone tries to play tricks, then they’re not a real friend. I despise such people. Our meeting must be fate. Don’t you think so?”
“…”
The boy was stunned. After a pause, he nodded at Shui Miao and said, “I believe you!”
Immediately, the surroundings changed. Shui Miao found himself back in that world surrounded entirely by deep blue. The additional memories in his mind vanished instantly, and he could once again connect with the external Soul Devouring Power.
The little boy was cunning. He intentionally allowed Shui Miao to reconnect with the Soul Devouring Power, watching whether Shui Miao would voluntarily withdraw it.
Shui Miao immediately felt conflicted.
At this moment, the Soul Devouring Power continued to corrode the gray stone, accelerating its pace.
Shui Miao worried that if he withdrew the Soul Devouring Power, the boy might sever his connection to it again, leaving him with no hope at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Shui Miao asked, “You’re not planning to let me leave, are you?”
The boy, wary of Shui Miao, noticed that he hadn’t withdrawn the Soul Devouring Power. Suddenly, he transformed into an old man. The old man wore the exact same clothes as the corpse on the throne. He coldly snorted at Shui Miao, “Still talking about being friends? Is this how a friend acts—trying to stall me with sweet words while using evil power to steal my treasure? You’re quite the friend indeed!”
“Hehe, this is called reciprocity. You forcefully dragged my soul in here, wanted to cut off my connection to the outside world, and trapped me with illusions. Now you’re blocking my way out. You’re not such a bad friend either!” Shui Miao stood his ground, matching the old man’s tone.
The old man sneered, “But don’t forget, your soul is in my hands now. Whenever I want, I can destroy your soul completely.”
“True, my current situation isn’t great. But if you destroy my soul, I can assure you—you won’t live long either. Not only will you never discover who you are, but you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, even affecting your descendants. None of them will meet a good end!” Shui Miao wasn’t particularly afraid because, so far, he hadn’t sensed any offensive spiritual energy—only illusions existed here.
Suddenly, the old man burst into laughter, walked over, and patted Shui Miao’s shoulder. “Friend! I’m not a madman, needlessly provoking an enemy. That’s not my style. But if someone dares to threaten me, I definitely won’t let them off easily!”
Suddenly, the old man’s right hand moved, and thick iron chains appeared around Shui Miao.
In the blink of an eye, Shui Miao was tightly bound in chains.
At the same time, his connection to the outside world was abruptly severed.
The old man was determined to kill him!
“Fascinating!”
Internally nervous but outwardly calm, Shui Miao chuckled, “Hehe, are you sure you won’t regret killing me?”
“Regret? Why should I regret?” The old man waved his hand, and the scenery changed. Instantly, the surroundings transformed into a grand palace. The old man stood high above, while two rows of muscular, heavily armored Mongolian generals stood inside the palace hall.
“Young man, do you really think I’ve forgotten everything? I am the King of the Mongolian grasslands, blessed by the Eternal Blue Sky. Wherever I go, I am unstoppable, victorious in every battle!”
“Then tell me, who exactly are you?”
Shui Miao remained extremely calm. He had already seen through the old man’s trickery—he definitely didn’t know who he himself was.
Judging from appearances, he seemed to fit the identity of Genghis Khan. However, there was still a possibility he wasn’t Genghis Khan, since the scale of this tomb wasn’t particularly grand. A conqueror like Genghis Khan, who had established such a vast empire, should have possessed far more treasures than what was here.
Shui Miao guessed this place was probably the tomb of some Mongolian noble.
Even if it were Genghis Khan’s tomb, this old man absolutely wasn’t the soul of Genghis Khan himself, because this soul was extremely unusual.
As soon as Shui Miao saw the child, he sensed it—their soul was completely different from that of an ordinary person.
After a person dies, their soul is initially completely transparent and very weak. It absorbs yin energy and yang essence from the body, gradually evolving into either white or black. Regardless of the color, human souls retain a faint trace of human essence, which serves as the standard for identifying human souls.
However, this old man’s soul had absolutely no trace of human essence whatsoever.
Shui Miao suspected that this was a unique being that had emerged from this treasure after absorbing traces of human essence. Possibly influenced by the thoughts of the tomb’s owner, it had developed a confused sense of self, believing itself to be human—even though it wasn’t.
“Hmph! I will definitely find out. After I kill you and obtain your memories, I will naturally know!” The old man’s mental resilience seemed fragile. Suddenly, he roared loudly, and the heavily armored Mongolian warriors drew their sabers, charging toward Shui Miao.
“Wait! I suddenly figured out who you are!”
Shui Miao had a sudden inspiration and quickly thought of a very clever and interesting countermeasure.
