At the moment when his consciousness was about to fade away, Li Lingge activated the puppet mark.

"ah--"

Du Ning suddenly let out a shrill scream. She knelt on the ground with her ten fingers deeply inserted into her hair, as if countless steel needles were piercing her soul.

The golden rune between her eyebrows flickered wildly, and every flickering caused her whole body to spasm.

"W-What did you do to me...?"

She raised her head and screamed, two bloody marks appearing at the corners of her eyes.

The fingers of the Hibiscus God Emperor trembled suddenly. Although Li Lingge's vision was blurred, he could clearly feel that the jade hand holding him was shaking.

He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but he gambled successfully.

Sisters are connected by heart, and Du Ning's pain was also reflected on the God Emperor Furong!

"Does it hurt?" Li Lingge said hoarsely. He controlled the mark to shrink again. "Every extra bit of force you use will... cough... make her feel ten times more pain!"

Du Ning suddenly arched his body and twitched violently like a fish out of water.

Dark golden lines appeared on the back of her snow-white neck and were now spreading throughout her body.

"stop!"

The Hibiscus God Emperor's face turned pale, and he finally loosened his five fingers.

Just as Li Lingge guessed, the two of them had the same feelings despite having different bodies, and she could feel Du Ning's pain firsthand.

He could also feel the puppet marks on Du Ning's body, one of which came from Li Lingge.

At this moment, not only could she not bear to see Du Ning suffer, she herself could not bear the pain of her soul.

Li Lingge fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

He saw the arrogant God Emperor staggering back, nine God-devouring Chains rattling, divine blood gushing out from the corners of her mouth, and Du Ning's pain was destroying her sanity!

Amid the surging heat of the lava lake, Li Lingge slowly straightened up, wiped the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, and wiped away a trace of scarlet blood.

He chuckled softly, his voice hoarse but filled with a chilling chill that made one's heart palpitate.

"Today, I finally got to see the legendary furious God Emperor."

He raised his right hand and clenched his five fingers.

"ah--"

Du Ning suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream and curled up on the ground convulsing.

Those dark golden lines were wriggling under her skin, covering half of her cheek and even beginning to spread towards her eyeballs.

Her nails dug deep into the ground, leaving ten bloody marks on the hard rock platform.

“Stop!”

The Hibiscus God Emperor suddenly raised his hand, his voice trembling more than ever before.

The nine God-Devouring Chains on her body vibrated wildly, and the severe pain brought by the backlash of the black energy made her delicate face slightly distorted.

But her eyes were fixed on Du Ning who was struggling in pain, and divine blood slid from her bitten lips.

Li Lingge raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, but did not release his control immediately.

He walked slowly forward, and suddenly clamped her chin with his cold fingers, forcing her to look up.

"If she hadn't tried to control me first, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."

The pupils of the Hibiscus God Emperor suddenly contracted. How dare this lowly human touch the body of the God Emperor!

Li Lingge leaned over and whispered in her ear, but the breath he exhaled was hotter than magma.

"You'd better figure out who is the master now."

After a moment, he released his hand and took a step back.

With a light tap of his fingertips, the dark golden lines on Du Ning's face stopped spreading temporarily, but did not disappear.

He turned and walked towards the space crack, his white robe fluttering in the heat wave.

"Don't worry, I will come to rescue you later."

At the last moment before stepping into the crack, he glanced back at the God Emperor imprisoned in chains, and a cruel arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"But you must remember your identity, mine, a puppet refiner."

The moment the spatial rift closed, the roar of the Hibiscus Divine Emperor resounded throughout the entire forbidden area of ​​Mount Li:

The nine God-Eating Chains rattled as she struggled against them, and the lava lake boiled and exploded.

Her eyes were as red as blood, and her three thousand strands of black hair turned into red flames under the violent divine power:

"When this emperor escapes from this predicament, I will destroy your soul and spirit!"

…

The forbidden area of ​​Mount Li returned to silence.

The lava lake gradually subsided, leaving only the faint sound of the chains shaking.

The Hibiscus God Emperor knelt with her head bowed, her three thousand strands of black hair hanging loose, covering her pale face.

And above the sky where no one could see, a wisp of purple air quietly dissipated.

Deep within the Purple Sky Temple, the Purple Sky God Emperor, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the star map, slowly opened his eyes.

A simple bronze mirror was suspended in front of him, reflecting the scene of the forbidden area of ​​Mount Li: the trembling fingers of the Hibiscus God Emperor and the spatial fluctuations caused by Li Lingge's departure were all visible.

"very good!"

The corners of the God Emperor's lips curled up slightly, and he tapped the mirror lightly with his fingertips.

The scene switches to the bottom of the Divine Prison, where a Hongmeng root wrapped in chaotic energy is quietly growing.

Then, the scene switched to the bottom of the Burning Heaven Furnace, where the Primordial Fire Essence flickered in the flames.

Finally, the mirror stopped at the Xuanyuan Sword on Li Lingge's waist.

“It’s almost harvest time.”

The Purple Sky God Emperor waved his sleeves lightly, and the bronze mirror turned into a stream of light and sank into his brow.

He stood up and walked towards the platform outside the hall, and the star map under his feet automatically evolved with his steps.

From Li Lingge's rise in the lower realm, to the appearance of the Taixu Ring, to the breaking of the Lishan formation today... every step is being deduced.

"There are only three steps left."

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. His gaze penetrated through the layers of clouds and fell on Li Lingge who was traveling through the space channel.

"Foolish humans actually thought they could overthrow the rule of the Divine Court. You have no idea what a terrifying existence lies behind the Divine Court."

The Purple Sky God Emperor took a deep breath. Although he was the master of the Divine Court, he had to obey orders from others.

Only by obtaining that sword will he be qualified to speak to the ancient gods.
