Chapter 125 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 9)

The national fortune initially did not have a fixed form. It was only after people began to believe in a certain totem that it was transformed into the form of a golden dragon.

Its antlers resemble those of a deer, its head a camel's, its eyes a rabbit's, and its neck a snake's... It perfectly matches people's imagination.

Li Banxue's birth in Lincheng was not an accident; from the very beginning, Lincheng was a place where the "dragon vein" resided.

It can stir up the clouds and waters of the four seas, ride the clouds and mist, and the gradually strengthening China has kept the country's fortune at a peak state - until another space merges with the present world.

The more Si Yisi listened, the more certain he became that the timeline of this world followed the previous world he had experienced.

In the previous world, he unexpectedly became the boss Demon King in the holographic online game Stellar, and witnessed the awakening of the holographic online game world.

That holographic online game world was later integrated with the real world, and the so-called game characters came into reality.

People in the holographic online game world are unlikely to have goodwill towards people in the real world, which probably sows the seeds of future trouble for the world's development.

——

They used some unknown method to control the manifestation of the nation's destiny, successfully corrupting it by exploiting the inherent malice and evil thoughts within the human heart.

The nation's destiny has become what it is now—its pupils are as black as lacquer, exuding a cold and dark aura.

It transformed from a golden dragon blessed with good fortune into a cold, dark black dragon that attracts evil thoughts!

Luo Yu told Si Yisi everything in great detail in an old man's voice. Its eyes were strange, and it laughed wildly as it spoke!

"Humans created you, and they also destroyed you!"

It is a complete joke that the very thing that protects the nation's destiny has been corrupted by the very humans it protects!

"It's a pity that two guardians of the dragon veins stole you and sealed away those evil thoughts, otherwise this country and this world would have been destroyed by our hands long ago!"

The fish's eyes showed a hint of regret, but it quickly grinned, revealing the sharp teeth hidden inside:

"But it doesn't matter. The Dragon Vein Guardian no longer exists, and no one can stop your fall."

"The protectors of humanity will slay them with their own hands—hahaha! This is revenge!"

Guardians of the Dragon Vein...

Si Yi thought of Li Banxue's "biological parents," who had passed away when Li Banxue was very young, and both of them seemed to be in poor health before their deaths.

Thinking about it now... perhaps he was seriously injured while protecting Li Banxue.

The jade pendant clearly refers to the seal in Luo Yu's mouth. This thing both protected Li Banxue and became a constraint on him!

Si Yisi sighed. He was right—only after going crazy once can one appreciate a stable life.

Li Banxue's identity destined him to never have a peaceful life!

When Luo Yu mentioned the word "degeneration," Si Yisi felt her heart skip a beat, and the suppressed restless evil thoughts became active again. In this state, Si Yisi clearly felt that her rationality seemed to have faded a little.

A multitude of malice churned within him, giving Si Yisi the urge to kill Luo Yu the moment he saw the fish emitting its malicious laughter.

— Bloodlust, riots.

Moreover, Si Yisi always felt that the evil thoughts entangled around her were gradually increasing, or rather, those things were constantly moving closer to her.

It was as if he wanted to absorb all the evil thoughts around him.

Veins bulged on the back of Si Yisi's hand; it was obvious without much thought that... with the accumulation of evil thoughts, this body would be greatly affected.

A phantom image of a black dragon appeared behind him. The dragon was somewhat listless, and its tail swayed as it lost some of its spiritual power.

He is weakening, the black dragon is weakening.

What would happen if the already polluted black dragon were to be further exposed to even more pollution? Naturally, it would lose its mind and become a puppet driven by the source of the pollution.

Whether the corrupted national destiny killed the carefully protected humanity, or humanity retaliated and killed its protectors—ha! It's all an extremely ironic joke!

The only thing that people in the star world fear is this unique national destiny, which has been nurtured for thousands of years. That's why China is called a great and powerful nation.

It is the only one in the world that can protect the nation's destiny; other countries simply don't have time to create such a thing!

Only a land as blessed with natural beauty and spiritual energy as China could become the first place to suffer disaster.

"Kill me—kill me—"

Luo Yu moved her lips, making these lip movements towards Si Yisi.

A mocking expression, more human-like than any human could appear on its fish head, was enough to send chills down your spine!

It was waiting for Si Yisi to strike—

How could he possibly not kill?! So many evil thoughts gathered together, how could a nation's destiny, which considers itself merely human, possibly resist that?

Si Yisi did indeed raise her arm.

Si Yisi's attack failed to land; he stopped his movements in mid-air!

"You want me to do as you wish?" Si Yisi sneered, her eyes devoid of any emotion, unfathomably dark.

He was just teasing the arrogant tilapia, like walking a puppy, very casually.

In Si Yisi's eyes, everything Luo Yu did was just a farce.

Do you think you can make him submit to even the slightest bit of malice? Even if it weren't Si Yisi standing here but the real Li Banxue, he wouldn't be so easily controlled.

Luo Yu underestimated them!

Si Yisi raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone indifferent, yet his words hit the nail on the head: "What right do you have to talk to me about revenge? Think about it carefully, aren't you just a puppet controlled by a lewd person?"

"Ha... Why did we create you, an artificial beast?"

Yes! Si Yisi realized from the beginning that Luo Yu was definitely not a person from the Stellar World; at most, it was a vessel that had been implanted with memories.

What right does a fish like that have to talk about revenge? It was just a tool to begin with!

When the stellar world and this world merge together, the stellar world's original superior abilities, such as immortality, will also disappear. This is the meaning of assimilation!

The inhabitants of the Stellar World lost their eternal lifespan, so they should have died long ago! The Luo Yu that appeared before Si Yisi and stirred up a storm was essentially a wisp of evil!

From the very beginning, Luo Yu's "mission" was probably to wait for the seal on the nation's fortune to be broken, so as to cause even greater stimulation to Li Banxue.

Upon hearing Si Yisi's words, Luo Yu froze. It struggled to strike Si Yisi with its wings, but forgot that its wings had already been torn. It then tried to tear Si Yisi's flesh with its sharp teeth, but forgot that it was a prisoner!

Si Yisi's hand, which had been suspended in mid-air, slammed down, knocking Luo Yu unconscious and silencing him from his meaningless ramblings.

"Boss, do you have a menu?"

New guests arrived at the restaurant. Si Yisi glanced down at the faint black aura condensing on her palm, then looked at Luo Yu.

Having acquired the identity of protecting the nation's destiny, he should rightfully shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

Only in this way can Li Banxue's wish be fulfilled!

Si Yisi wasn't afraid of the trouble that was about to come his way. He was more interested in finding out who would prevail in the "retaliation" left behind by the other defector system!

How could the people of the Stellar Game possibly cause any trouble under Freya's control? The only possibility is that the defector system returned to this world once.

And then... it stirred up waves across the world once again!

Si Yisi is indirectly wrestling with the defector system!

"Coming!" Si Yisi called out, then continued doing business like any other ordinary person.

Lin City seems to have completely returned to its former tranquility, but only those who are deeply involved can feel the turbulent undercurrents beneath... as if it could drag a group of cultivators down to hell at any moment!

Officer Lin Anran, along with his colleagues, was responsible for salvaging any traces left by possible strange beasts in Anshui Lake. The Anshui Lake area had been sealed off, and the government was keeping a close watch on this area where the incident first occurred. Only those who had received instructions were allowed to enter and participate in the investigation.

Lin Anran's abilities are very useful, and for some reason, her abilities have been enhanced in this area—

"There!"

Following her senses, the Spiritual Energy Revival Branch quickly retrieved the remains left by Luo Yu.

They all breathed a sigh of relief. Obtaining this part of the tilapia's limb meant that they might be able to predict the tilapia's reappearance in advance. At the same time, by analyzing the wound, they might even be able to obtain some information about that mysterious helper!

The analysis was being prepared in earnest—

When those who were both researchers and practitioners reached the same conclusion, everyone present felt a pang of anxiety.

They made several discoveries that were no less than time bombs!

The fish were indeed as they had imagined—

"This strange beast was most likely created by humans."

Furthermore, "There is some special spiritual energy remaining in the wounds of the Luo fish's severed limbs. This spiritual energy is not pure, but rather seems to be mixed with filth that exudes an evil aura!"

"We suspect that this mysterious helper who extended a helping hand to us in our time of crisis... is actually an enemy of humanity!"

"His goal is most likely just to devour that beast!"

As the resounding voice fell, the researcher in charge of the report suddenly revealed a twisted smile—

That was a strange smile with malice!
