Chapter 104 Brother Tianyu, help me...
More than 500 years ago, Li Muchen, the third sister of the Li family in Taoyuan, accidentally obtained the remains of an out-of-circle creature, Jin Chenxi. After research, she found that this out-of-circle creature could absorb external magic power to strengthen itself.
In order to obtain the power to fight against those outside the circle, Li Muchen and Xiao Tianhao, the young master of the Xiao family, first kidnapped monsters in remote villages and used their monster powers to feed Jin Chenxi.
In order to hunt down a traitor within her tribe, Cui Yumingluan came to the monster trafficking base alone without knowing it. As a result, she was drugged and thrown into the golden dawn, and her soul was completely replaced by the golden dawn.
When Jin Chenxi grew up to a certain extent, Mu Chen carefully planned the Mu Tiancheng incident that shocked the demon world. She sent tempting messages to the demon kings, promising to revive the most cherished existence in their hearts, whether it was human or demon. When the demons gathered in Mu Tiancheng, they found that they had fallen into a carefully laid trap. Li Mu Chen used Jin Chenxi to greedily absorb the powerful demon power of these demon kings, intending to use this to create an unprecedented artificial demon king and master supreme power.
But the power of the demon king is so strong that Li Muchen's soul alone cannot bear this power. In order to control this power, Li Muchen used his emotional power to connect Jin Chenxi to himself.
As luck would have it, while Li Muchen was completing her plan, Cui Yumingluan was also in Mutian City.
Ever since her soul was replaced by Jin Chenxi, Cui Yu Mingluan has become a part of Jin Chenxi. When facing the more powerful Jin Chenxi's body, the only fate that awaits her is assimilation.
In the memory, Li Muchen, who had merged with Jin Chenxi's body, had already captured Cui Yu Ming Luan and wanted to assimilate her completely, but was stopped by Bai Yuechu and Tushan Susu.
"Did Xiao Tianhao plant this love poison for you?"
Bai Yuechu didn't expect that such a heartless Li Muchen could actually control the love Gu. After thinking about it, this was the only possibility left.
"But Taoist brother, the love poison is in the South Country, and only women can plant it."
Before Li Muchen could speak, Tushan Susu at the side had already spoken up to remind him.
"You think someone as heartless as me can't use emotional power? Your understanding of emotional power is still too superficial." Seeing Bai Su and the others looking puzzled, Li Muchen patiently explained, "Emotional power is a kind of magic power that has a high degree of adhesion to will, so it is most suitable for connecting the soul. Thanks to it, I can control creatures outside the circle and achieve the body of the demon king."
"So you used the love power as glue, right?"
"In this way, we can just leave."
Bai Yuechu learned from Li Muchen's words about her understanding and use of emotional power, and immediately turned around and wanted to leave the spiritual space.
"What do you mean?"
Li Muchen was also stunned when he saw this, and asked with gritted teeth.
"If the cultivation of emotional power is really as simple as you say, then Tushan would be full of Yaya sisters."
As Bai Yuechu finished her words, Cui Yumingluan, who was suppressed by Li Muchen, suddenly burst out with a powerful force and began to compete with her for control of Jin Chenxi.
Li Muchen realized that the golden morning light in his body was being rapidly drawn out. He was horrified but had no way to stop it.
"How can it be?"
She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Cui Yu Ming Luan, the being that she had already used as a puppet, actually showed amazing resistance at this moment.
"How...how could you possibly break free from my control?"
Li Muchen's voice became hoarse due to shock. She couldn't understand why a being whom she regarded as a tool could possess such powerful strength.
"Because the true power of emotion comes from the heart, not from external things." Although Cui Yumingluan's voice was weak, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
As Jin Chenxi's control was gradually regained, a soft light began to emanate from Cui Yumingluan's body. This power was both a weapon against Li Muchen and proof of her self-salvation.
"No! I won't let you succeed!"
Li Muchen roared unwillingly, trying to use her last bit of strength to save the situation, but it was too late. Jin Chenxi, the weapon she once regarded as a treasure, has now become the catalyst for her failure.
Without Jin Chenxi as a medium, Li Muchen's soul alone was unable to carry the power of the artificial demon king, so the moment she lost control of Jin Chenxi, her soul began to dissipate rapidly.
As if realizing that she was doomed, Li Muchen's mind flashed rapidly through the memories of her entire life.
From the grand event held under the blue sky in her childhood, to being abandoned by her two brothers, to her creation of the unprecedented and world-shaking artificial demon king...
All of this, in the end, turned into a figure.
He was a swordsman dressed in a mysterious black robe and wearing a bright red devil mask. His figure was tall and aloof, as if he could penetrate the long river of time and strike deep into Li Muchen's soul.
Brother Tianyu...please...help me..."
At the last moment when his consciousness was about to completely disappear, Li Muchen used all his strength and cried out desperately to the figure.
However, the figure of the black-robed swordsman only swayed slightly in her blurred vision, and did not give any substantial response.
“Why…why is it like this?”
She murmured to herself, her voice gradually becoming weaker, like a wisp of smoke in the wind that could dissipate at any time.
At this moment, a gentle but firm voice penetrated her despair: "Sister Chen, power is not everything. It cannot fill the emptiness and regrets in your heart. What you should pursue is inner peace and self-salvation."
This voice was so familiar, yet so distant, as if it came from the depths of memory, or from the other side of the soul. Li Muchen tried to open his eyes wide, wanting to see the person who was speaking, but the scene in front of him became more and more blurred.
"I was wrong... I'm willing to give up everything as long as you can come back!"
Li Muchen seemed to have grasped the last straw and shouted with all his strength.
"Ugh!"
"The reason I left this trace of consciousness in your sea of consciousness is because I am worried that if I can't be with you one day, you will do something extreme."
“Now it seems that this kind of thing still happened.”
Although the black-robed swordsman's voice was somewhat helpless, it also revealed deep concern. He did not directly respond to Li Muchen's request, but guided her in a more profound way.
"When you can see this wisp of my consciousness, it means that I can no longer appear in front of you, but your life has just begun, and you still have plenty of time to pursue true happiness."
