Aoqian originally lacked confidence in himself because he knew the darkness deep within his heart.

In addition, he always believed that Song Xiwei was destined to leave him, which is why he felt that he would really become like the prophecy.

But when he heard Song Xiwei say that with her there, she wouldn't let herself go astray, and she believed he wouldn't...

It was as if a force had been injected into his dark heart, building a bridge, a bridge with light, with Song Xiwei, and with warmth.

Aoqian looked at her helplessly, realizing that his answer had disappointed Song Xiwei so much.

Song Xiwei never doubted herself. She always believed that she could overcome the darkness and that things would never turn out the way they predicted.

Aoqian was speechless. He had been trusted and pulled back from the brink of despair. He had given up on himself, but that person, even when he was at odds with the world, had never let him go.

"I've never understood why I allowed my clone to stay in Chidu during the previous gap. But now I think I understand. Is it related to that strange power in Chidu? When you dealt with Miao Ruyi, your strength suddenly increased. Was it because of that power?"

Aoqian had only suspected it before, but now, she was the one who truly asked Aoqian for confirmation.

Because of the exposure of this power, Aoqian suddenly became the target of everyone's attacks and was besieged by the Six Realms.

Possessing such a treasure is a crime; having such terrifying power is the root cause of unrest and turmoil in the six realms.

Aoqian had no intention of hiding this from her.

I just haven't found the right opportunity yet.

Moreover, he believed he could control it.

"That is the inherited power of the demon race. Only the legitimate descendants of the demon lord can inherit it. However, this inherited power is too domineering and fierce. If one is not strong enough, one cannot absorb that power. Our demon race has been passing down this power for more than 10,000 years, but there has never been a demon lord who has truly obtained that complete power. Otherwise, the demon race would not have gradually declined to the point of being suppressed by other races to this extent."

Ao Qian explained the origin of that power.

Song Xiwei's eyes flickered slightly. "You mean that before you, no Demon Lord had ever succeeded in inheriting that power, so you don't know how strong that power really is? And what you used before was only a small part of it, is that what you mean?"

Song Xiwei vaguely realized something, but still needed to verify it.

Aoqian nodded, confirming Song Xiwei's guess. "Each generation of Demon Lords will pass on the method of inheritance to the next generation of Demon Lords. My father passed on the method of inheritance to me two years ago. However, at that time, I was unable to obtain that power. Like my ancestors, I was not recognized by that power. But recently, when I returned to Chidu, that power suddenly resonated strongly with me."

After a pause, Aoqian looked at Song Xiwei and said, "I think it must be the cultivation techniques you taught me that took effect. I used to cultivate demonic magic, but after I mastered what you taught me, it produced a special reaction, which allowed me to sense the power of inheritance. I think that those powers automatically entered my body. They recognized me and chose me. It's just that I received too much power at once and needed time to digest it. At that time, I couldn't contact you and was worried about you, so I urgently stopped the absorption of power. I didn't expect that my every move was under someone else's control. And you probably guessed why the gap sent its clone to Chidu to oversee things. That power not only made them wary, but also attracted the envy of many people."

As Song Xiwei listened to Ao Qian's detailed explanation, many things she hadn't understood before suddenly became clear.
