Xia Tianqiong sensed a death crisis; even with his current strength as a half-step Ghost God, he was powerless to resist.
The opponent is simply too strong, at least a Ghost God.
But what shocked him most at this moment was not the crisis of death, but the meaning behind the other party's words, which seemed to know that he was a reborn person.
Who are you? How do you know my secret?
Although this old man looks like Old Master Huo, his eyes and demeanor are clearly not those of Old Master Huo.
"Now it's my turn to ask you questions, not the other way around. Answer the questions, or die!"
The old man spoke forcefully, leaving Xia Tianqiong no room for negotiation.
Xia Tianqiong was a little puzzled as to why the other party could attack her directly without using any rules.
Does the God of Ghosts not have to abide by the rules of the Ghost Realm?
That's right. The Ghost God has transcended the Ghost Realm, so naturally he doesn't need to abide by the rules of the Ghost Realm.
"I don't believe in fate. I am who I am, why should I be devoured by it?"
The old man sneered, "Jun Shisan has a mission, so it's only natural for him to devour anyone. And you, the reason you were reborn is to become a stepping stone for his growth."
Otherwise, as an ordinary human being, you would never have had the chance to be reborn with your memories intact, nor the chance to grow to your current level. Do you think all those opportunities you had were due to luck?
"I'm telling you now, that was to cultivate you, to arrange your destiny, so that you would constantly gain benefits and increase your strength, with the ultimate goal of becoming a part of Jun Shisan."
Xia Tianqiong was stunned upon hearing these words and remained speechless for a long time.
It turns out that I was reborn because of Jun Shisan!
It turns out everything was planned!
Was my fate with the ghost bride also arranged?
He didn't believe that even if opportunities could be arranged, his feelings for the ghost bride couldn't be.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the old man continued to press him: "Now I'll give you two choices: one is to go back and find Jun Shisan yourself, and the other is for me to kill you and give your fragmented true spirit and soul to Jun Shisan. You choose!"
These words were spoken in a commanding tone, leaving no room for discussion.
Furthermore, it continued to release a powerful aura, constantly squeezing Xia Tianqiong, making him feel that he would be crushed at any moment.
My heart was filled with helplessness, even despair, once again.
His opponent was too strong, so strong that he had no chance to fight back.
Previously, in the space-time rift, he comprehended a new Dao, which he named "Rebirth from Adversity".
The more desperate the adversity, the more potential is unleashed.
This situation is perfect for this moment.
Xia Tianqiong's aura continued to strengthen, and his Dao had been pushed to its limit, constantly impacting the final threshold.
Charge forward, and you will become a god of evil.
Perhaps he has the strength to fight against this old man.
But no matter how many times I tried, I failed each time. No matter what I did, I was always just a little short, always just a little short.
The old man floated there, watching silently, his eyes filled with a strange scrutinizing look.
He didn't stop her, but he kept putting more pressure on Xia Tianqiong.
I don't know how much time passed; it could be just a few minutes or several months.
The old man suddenly sighed softly, his tone softening.
"You are quite good, with extraordinary talent and perseverance. Even if you only possess more than half of the true spirit and soul, you would still have a chance to advance to the level of a demon god. Unfortunately, you are currently too incomplete."
Hearing his words, Xia Tianqiong did not stop and continued to try to break through.
The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Stop. In your current state, you won't be able to advance to the level of a Ghost God even after 100,000 years."
Xia Tianqiong finally spoke: "What exactly do you mean? If you want to kill me, you don't need to say so much nonsense."
"Hehe, I see the shadow of Jun Shisan in you back then. It would be a real pity to kill you like this."
The old man suddenly withdrew his imposing aura, no longer pressuring Xia Tianqiong, and instead his old face was full of kind smiles.
His appearance at this moment does bear some resemblance to Old Master Huo.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly realized that the other party had never intended to kill him in the first place, and was probably just trying to scare him.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you look so much like Old Master Huo?"
“He is an alter ego of mine; you can also call me Old Huo.”
"So, you're saying that all of Old Master Huo's actions were orchestrated by you?"
"Some things about you were indeed arranged by me. For example, your country's authorities originally wanted to take you down directly, but I asked Elder Huo to mediate, which allowed you to grow up safely. Otherwise, you would have been taken down by the authorities in the early stages of the strange invasion."
"When the Chess King invaded the capital, Elder Huo asked me for help. Was that also arranged by you?"
"Of course, only in this way can we force you to grow up faster and meet the conditions for being devoured by Jun Shisan."
Seeing that Elder Huo answered all her questions, Xia Tianqiong quickly asked all the questions that were on her mind.
"How was I reborn? Why was I chosen?"
Old Master Huo smiled faintly: "That year you entered the strange scene, obtained the forbidden technique created by Jun Shisan, and were then killed by the strange entity. That strange entity planned to resurrect you and then use you to set a trap for Jun Shisan."
However, since we discovered this, we decided to give you a second chance. This will not only help us thwart their schemes but also allow us to focus on developing you and enabling Jun Shisan to achieve greater success.
So we used our great powers to reset time, causing the ghost realm and your human world to rewind five years. None of the other ghosts or humans have any related memories, but you retain them.
Xia Tianqiong listened silently and finally understood why she had been reborn.
From Huo Lao's words, he realized that there were also factions and conflicts in the upper realm. Some were trying to stop Jun Shisan, while others were protecting him.
I then asked a few more questions, which were answered in detail by Professor Huo.
