The spirit then returned to the topic, saying, "Although I was born at the end of the Godfall Battlefield, I still have some understanding of these things! There are many battlefields in this universe, but the worlds that are chosen as battlefields will inevitably have several companion gods. These gods are not like those who cultivate and prove their Dao later in life; they are truly immortal beings whose lifespan is equal to that of the heavens! The significance of these companion gods is to allow the companion worlds to transcend the battlefield, because only by transcending the battlefield can they break free from their companion state and become immortal gods soaring through the universe!"

"Take our current Imperial Star, which is what you call Earth, for example. It has experienced eight battles. If the Imperial Star wins one of them, then the companion god can transcend and no longer be bound by the Imperial Star!"

"As for what you call protection!"

Dian Ling looked at Jiang Yuan with interest, then teased, "I think it might be a little different from what you imagine!"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan felt he was one step closer to Ning Yanlan's true identity.

"Take the Battlefield of Fallen Gods for example, the Three Sovereigns have fought with these companion gods many times!" The Temple Spirit shrugged and sighed, "Let me put it this way, it's purely a difference in ideology!"

"The transcendence that the companion god desires is not the same as what the human race desires. As for the specific reasons, my cultivation level is too low to reach that level, so it's difficult to give a clear explanation!"

"Is Ning Yanlan a companion god?" Jiang Yuan boldly speculated.

"impossible!"

The spirit of the palace shook his head and denied Jiang Yuan's speculation. He said, "I examined her when I was in the tomb of the Lord of War. She did not have any divine power in her body, and her bloodline and soul aura did not seem to be those of a companion god!"

"Take a look!" Jiang Yuan pulled Ning Yanlan's hand out, wanting the spirit of the palace to take her pulse.

The spirit was taken aback. This guy was quite fierce. He had no choice but to take Ning Yanlan's pulse to check her body, but he shook his head as soon as he examined her.

"No, Ning Yanlan's body is full of restrictions, and her soul is very strange, giving me an indescribable feeling!" The spirit of the palace withdrew his hand and said. He had not noticed that Ning Yanlan had this condition before, and now it seems that he was obviously ignorant.

"Could she be an avatar of a companion god?" Jiang Yuan summoned his original avatar, the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

"How could that be? A clone has no soul. Ning Yanlan has her own unique soul!" the spirit of the palace said with a wry smile.

"Then what's strange about her soul?" Jiang Yuan pressed.

"hiss!"

Dian Ling took a deep breath and thought for a long time before saying, "If you ask what's strange about her, it's that she gives me a feeling that's like...like..."

"Like a newly born soul splitting off?" Jiang Yuan added.

"Yes, that's the feeling!" The spirit of the palace suddenly realized, as if Jiang Yuan had spoken what he couldn't say. He continued, "She has no divine spark, no divine blood, and no divine soul. Logically speaking, it's impossible for her to break through the 9,999-level spiritual barrier! But now, she has broken through. You know, even the Lord of War wasn't this terrifying back then. So there's only one possibility: she had already reached this threshold before, so breaking through again was so easy for her!"

"As for the previous battlefields, I've only heard of one companion god who was born with 9,999 points of spiritual barrier!"

"Who?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"How would I know? The companion gods of a world are supreme deities who have the power of life and death. Ordinary people don't even have the right to talk about them! I only heard Lord Bing mention it casually back then, but I don't know who it is!" The spirit of the palace glanced at Ning Yanlan lying in Jiang Yuan's arms. He couldn't connect the companion god with the girl in front of him no matter how he looked at it.

"Ning Yanlan, are you now a companion god or Ning Yanlan?" Jiang Yuan murmured to himself, looking at Ning Yanlan curled up like a kitten in his arms.

"Jiang Yuan, I have to warn you, this companion god will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Let alone one Nancheng, even if it's ten or a hundred people, she'll sacrifice them without hesitation. You really need to leave yourself a way out!" the spirit of the temple solemnly advised.

"What way out is there now? This woman planned this all along!" Jiang Yuan was also helpless. He had jumped into the trap willingly, and there was nothing he could do.

“Abandon the South City and leave directly. Your fate is ephemeral and won’t be affected by a fate contract!” the spirit of the palace urged.

The fact that the Lord of War dared to choose Jiang Yuan must mean he had his reasons. This was a destiny that even he couldn't see through. How could an eternal fate contract be considered a constraint? It was a joke.

Jiang Yuan was shocked. The spirit of the palace was right. The Eternal Life Contract only had a 50/50 constraint on him. Since he transferred the Balance Messenger to the Twin Eyes, his probability of death had been halved. The Eternal Life Contract could only gamble on his 50% mortality rate.

"If I leave, what will happen to the others? What about you? And what about my friends?" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.

If he had left directly before, it would have been fine, but now that Ning Yanlan is in Nancheng, it's almost impossible for him to take people away, because Ning Yanlan will definitely stop him. Even if he leaves, the others will be stopped by Ning Yanlan.

"Alas, I've lived for thousands of years, and I've long since lost all attachment to life and death!" The spirit of the palace was quite carefree.

"Forget it, you're only half-baked!" Jiang Yuan sighed. He had limited information from the spirit, and he didn't want to talk about life and death with the spirit; it was too unlucky.

"You'd better send her away quickly. If she wakes up and misunderstands that I conspired with you to knock her unconscious, I, someone from another battlefield, will probably be struck dead by the battlefield rules!" Dian Ling was terrified when he heard that Ning Yanlan was related to the Companion God. He knew that the Companion God was directly connected to the battlefield rules, and he happened to be a fugitive from the previous battlefield, so he was most afraid of the battlefield rules.

"You should leave now, I still need to go through the Bronze Gate!"

Jiang Yuan had finally waited for Ning Yanlan to fall into a coma, so how could he not seize this opportunity?
