"The spark... has been found."
While everyone was still reeling from the sinking, the "King of Words" spoke first.
Her voice was very strange, neither male nor female, mixed with a kind of indifference that looked down on all living beings and a grandeur that covered everything.
He frowned again before sinking in.
He felt like he had heard that voice somewhere before, but it wasn't the voice of the King of Words.
Does "spark" refer to oneself?
Why does she refer to herself that way?
"Why do you call me 'Fire Seed'? Who are you, really?"
Shen Qian stared at the enormous female face that blotted out the sky and asked the question that had been bothering him.
The "King of Words" remained expressionless, merely staring indifferently at Shen Qian, and spoke as if delivering a verdict: "Disobeying the laws is an unforgivable crime."
Boom!
As the King of Words finished speaking, golden clouds swirled and instantly formed above Shen Qian. Before Shen Qian could react, a golden bolt of lightning struck down, ignoring the distance, and hit Shen Qian hard.
A tearing pain spread throughout his body, and Shen Qian suspected that if he hadn't already reached the seventh level of mental power restriction, he would have been annihilated by this terrifying lightning strike.
At the same time, he sensed a familiar feeling from the lightning strike.
Without any energy fluctuations, the thunderclouds that resembled a heavenly tribulation seemed to appear out of thin air, and the falling lightning was completely contrary to common sense and left no trace.
This is "words become law," no, it seems to be a level even higher than "words become law."
Because the other party merely stated their "crimes," Heaven and Earth made themselves the object of judgment.
This should be "my word is the rule"!
Considering what the other party had said, and some of the signs that the King of Words had shown in the past, Shen Qian vaguely guessed something, but dared not believe it.
Boom!
Golden lightning struck again, still without warning, but with his soul power surging, Shen Qian, now prepared, was at least no longer as disheveled as before.
Fortunately, he had once used the Ancestral Dragon's lightning to temper his body. Although it did not affect his soul, over time, his soul developed a great resistance to lightning. Otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand the sinking for so long.
"You were once the King of Words, weren't you?"
Boom!
As the lightning continued to strike, Chen Qian endured it while shouting loudly.
"I remember you once said that no matter how far you go, you must remember that you are not a god!"
"This isn't a warning to me at all, it's a mistake you made in the past, isn't it?"
"There's something wrong with the end of your 'path'!"
Hearing Chen Qian's loud shout, the huge face that had been silent all along showed a slight ripple for the first time.
"All things return to 'Heaven'."
After the "King of Words" finished speaking, he seemed to realize that this ordinary method of lightning punishment could not truly seriously injure Shen Qian, and then said indifferently, "You cannot do it, you cannot speak of it, you cannot reverse it."
These three sentences seemed to be the highest truth in the world, instantly applied to Shen Qian, and in that instant, Shen Qian's figure froze.
His eyes became dull, and he lost all desire to resist, both physically and mentally. He was in a daze and only wanted to die.
Buzz!
The system trembled, preserving a sliver of clarity for Shen Qian's already numb soul, but that was all. Shen Qian remained unable to speak, move, or resist.
Even in the last vestiges of thought before sinking, a raging storm had already begun to brew.
The other party's response, which was not a response at all, undoubtedly confirmed Shen Qian's guess about the "King of Words" in front of him.
It wasn't that the Word Spirit King had a problem, but rather that the "path" she followed was inherently flawed.
Her Dao is called "Stealing the Law". In my previous understanding, this "Dao" pursued the deception and control of the laws, and the transformation of all laws into one's own.
But Shen Qian hadn't gone very far on this "path" before, and only now did he suddenly realize that there were huge problems at the end of this "path".
When you are obsessed with controlling the rules, do you end up becoming the rules themselves?
This is the true meaning behind the King of Words' warning to him, "You are not that god."
Although it was just a consciousness clone, she clearly knew what mistake the original body had made. Perhaps by the time the Word Spirit King realized something was wrong, it would be too late, and everything would be irreversible. She could only sever the connection with the clone and let the clone make a pact with Shen Qian, hoping to kill the original body.
But... Sister, are you kidding me?!
Shen Qian had already realized that although the being before him had the face of the "King of Words," it was equivalent to the rules themselves. In other words, Shen Qian was defying the rules!
Only in this way could Shen Qian, who had also cultivated the supernatural power of "words becoming law", be completely suppressed by the other party, and could even be said to have no power to resist.
From the moment the two sides met until now, only a few dozen breaths have passed. Shen Qian may not seem to be truly injured yet, but he knows that if an ordinary king or noble were in his position, he would probably have already perished.
The destructive power contained within that lightning comes from the rules themselves, and cannot be countered by conventional methods.
Before sinking, they couldn't even find an angle or way to retaliate.
He had a feeling that no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to hurt the other person.
How do you intend to destroy the rules?
Rules endure forever; this is the law of nature!
Shen Qian suspected that even the Word Spirit King's consciousness clone probably didn't know how to destroy the original body, otherwise she would have given Shen Qian the slightest hint.
He didn't know if there was an answer behind that "door" at the Earth's core, but clearly, a distant solution couldn't quench his immediate thirst.
Having uncovered the truth behind the mutation of the "King of Words," they still couldn't explain the doubts that arose before the sinking: the issue of the timeline, and how the Heavenly Emperor and others perished.
