"A-Ce, what's the point of all this?" Xia Xiang decided to practice her persuasion skills and started to reason with him seriously.

"Meaning?" Sun Ce sneered. "I'm willing, is that not allowed?"

"It seems that it's better to use force to motivate opponents than words to change them." Xia Xiang conceded once again.

She just can't convince others. Next time she goes out to play low-level games, she should bring more capable people with her.

“Ye Siti colluded with the Demon Realm, leading the Demon Realm's army and most of Jiangdong's military force to the Iron Dimension,” Sun Ce said. “Later, Cao Cao and others, because of you, led their armies to aid the Iron Dimension.”

"In the Silver Dimension, only the Yuan family and the vast majority of their military force remain. They seized the opportunity to rise up, intending to overthrow the entire school alliance. But before that, Sima Yi, together with Yuan Shao, launched a devastating attack on my Jiangdong. Do you think it's meaningful for me to do all this?"

Xia Xiang frowned and asked, "Can you still distinguish between memories and reality? That was in the past; everything is different now."

"So what? Ye Siyi still went," Sun Ce said. "What's wrong with me striking first this time?!"

"Don't you remember Da Qiao? She's still waiting for you in Jiangdong," Xia Xiang said, trying to rekindle the love in his heart.

"So what if I remember?" Sun Ce said indifferently. "I'm from the Iron Dimension, and she's from the Silver Dimension. We can't be together at all."

Xia Xiang covered her face awkwardly, "Ah Ce, is it possible that this is a trap? Is it possible that there are surveillance cameras here, and Da Qiao is on the other side of the camera?"

Sun Ce: "...Then I'll just destroy this place."

After receiving the signal that everything was ready, Xia Xiang decisively retreated.

While Sun Ce was still having doubts, the third step had already begun—

To make the Soul Cleansing Melody cover such a large area, the required martial arts level is very high. Basically, all people with high internal strength participated in the transfer of their power.

The dirge had barely begun when the wailing began.

The agonizing screams almost drowned out the music, but thankfully they had not only force but also technology.

Turn the speakers hidden in every corner up to maximum volume—

The fourth step is also ready; all that's needed is for them to lose all ability to resist so that a rain can wash away these sins.

But at this moment, an unpredictable change, which never disappoints, quietly arrived—

Just as Sun Ce was suffering because he couldn't mobilize his demonic energy, the power of the Demon Lord descended.

Those playing the Soul Cleansing Song couldn't hold on any longer and started vomiting blood. Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Yu simply activated the fourth step of the plan ahead of schedule, and led the two demon-slaying warriors who came with him to set up a protective magnetic field for them.

The situation has now returned to the previous stalemate.

"Didi, you only have so much energy left, and you're still borrowing here and giving away there, is that really okay?" Xia Xiang asked. "You can't beat them, haven't you ever reflected on your own actions?"

"My normal level is only around 50,000; in reality, the energy of darkness is beyond your imagination," Diablo's voice echoed around Xia Xiang. "Interested in learning more?"

"No," Xia Xiang replied coldly, pondering how to make a reasonable move. The next moment, Diablo's power vanished without a trace.

Xia Xiang was pulled directly to another space by an ancient and powerful force.

"Ah Ying, welcome back."

The old man had a peaceful demeanor, deep-set eyes, and a loving gaze that gently fell on Xia Xiang. He placed his large hand on her head and patted it gently, the action natural and familiar.

Xia Xiang was completely stiff and dared not move. She could not feel any warmth on her head, but she felt a slight chill on her neck.

"What, don't you recognize your father?" The old man looked exactly like Ye Siren, except that his hair and beard were snow-white. His appearance could be described as otherworldly, but his eyes and brows exuded an irresistible majesty.

"Huaiying greets Father God," Xia Xiang bowed and silently moved her head away from his large hand.

"Ah Ying, you used to call me Dad." The old man frowned slightly, his usually dignified tone tinged with a hint of grievance.

Xia Xiang: You dog of an author, didn't you say I was the strongest?

I can't win in low-elo games, and I can't beat high-elo games either! What's wrong with me?!
