"stand up!"
NIO looked at the black coffin and used a powerful summoning spell.
But the coffin remained unmoved.
"Could it be that I opened it wrong?" He slapped his forehead. "Oh no, it's been so long, I've forgotten how to open it."
At this moment, the previously closed forbidden area gate was opened a crack, and NIO seemed to sense something, its gaze following the direction of the sound.
However, apart from the door with a gap, he could not see anything.
He knew that he should be very deep underground now, having used a teleportation array to get here.
Aside from the coffin containing his true body, the only superfluous thing here is a door that looks flashy but impractical.
The bronze gate is carved with various intricate floral patterns.
When NIO fell to this point, he had already lit a candle for the aesthetics of the first-generation demon king.
He is the only one who can create such a bizarre art style that combines elegance and vulgarity; he truly deserves to be called the first Demon Lord.
In particular, the door had several large characters written on it: "Forbidden Gate, intruders shall die."
NIO searched for a long time but couldn't find any other way in. He pushed open the door, refusing to believe it, and found nothing but a wall inside.
Moreover, the wall is solid.
"Why bother?" NIO sighed, and went to open the coffin again, but couldn't open it no matter what he did.
"Excuse me, sir, did you drop this gold key, this silver key, or this bronze key?"
NIO was jolted and became much more alert.
However, he searched everywhere but couldn't find the owner of the voice, nor the so-called gold, silver, and bronze keys. On the contrary, the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Sir, look at me!"
Wei Lai looked around again expressionlessly, but still couldn't see the person who was going to speak. He lay on the coffin, wanting to go in, but unfortunately, a restriction had been placed on the coffin.
Moreover, no matter how you look at it, this formation was created by his mortal enemy from his previous life.
He couldn't solve it.
"Pray for good fortune! Untie me!" He had already realized something. "Pray for good fortune!"
"Who is Qi Yun?" The voice sighed, and NIO felt a breath spray on the back of his neck. "I'm not him."
"That shouldn't be!" he exclaimed in bewilderment. "If you're not Qi Yun, then, my God! Who is who? Who erased my memories? It was the three of you who did it."
"Slaughter, Qi Yun, NIO, Tianji, and anyone else?"
"That's all, that's all. I have nothing to do with any of you three, understand? Don't drag me into this! I just like kids."
"Oh, a stay-at-home dad!"
NIO: ...
He practically vented his frustrations inside the house.
"You seem to understand my jokes," the voice muttered to itself. "Who do you think I am?"
“Pray for good fortune.” NIO said expressionlessly, “I’m just an honest person. You’ve already hurt another idiot, and now you’re dragging me down with you. What are you doing? Even if this world is destroyed, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to be a normal person.”
But you are a god!
NIO fell silent again. "I was born this way, what can I do?"
"Perinatal repositioning?"
"yes."
"Then what do you think I am?"
"Let me transmigrate! I'm the only one in this world who started as a baby..."
"Understood, start as a baby and become a deity."
NIO's face twisted in pain as he finally remembered the fear he had felt when he was just a mortal: "Wen Jingge, it's you!"
Yes, I'm here with you.
"where?"
"Tell me first, who am I? In my past life, I was an orphan. When I was picked up, I only had a name on me. Later, I had too much bad luck and became more and more of a homebody, and I didn't dare to go out."
"You are either a person who prays for good fortune or one who kills. I heard that someone who prays for good fortune wanted to go to another world, but I don't know if they went or not. At the time, I was planning to fake my death."
"And then you actually die?"
"I, the Slaughter, the Heavenly Secret, have no death or rebirth, only death and new life."
"What about praying for good fortune?"
"Qi Yun, in essence, is human, but she has lived a long time and is called a god because she has mastered the laws of this world. She spends most of her life sleeping, but..."
"But, with a single move, he wiped out the entire god race?"
“I am not them, I don’t know.” NIO sighed deeply; tens of thousands of years of loneliness is not something an ordinary person can bear.
Although it is a god, it possesses human nature, and NIO is also unclear about what's wrong with itself.
"They were pioneers; at that time, the Xuanmen Continent was still a primitive society in need of development. I was their experimental subject."
"Clones?"
"I don't know. I was lying in the hospital bed when I heard the ventilator stop and felt my family's panic. The next second, I felt like it was dawn. I couldn't even open my eyes. I had just come out of someone's belly."
Wen Jingge's lips twitched. This was a good topic. "How did it feel?"
NIO is a very easygoing person; they actually understood. "Yes, it's a new beginning, which is great. You're asking about the feeling in your stomach, which is probably very cramped, just like when I died, with difficulty breathing."
A dark handprint appeared on the coffin. The black iron was not cold, so the appearance of this handprint indicated that her body was being subjected to extremely cold conditions.
"You're dead?"
"Yeah, I've messed up. There's no going back now. I was thinking that since you're still my junior brother, it might be good for you to have a turn in your body, and then..."
And then you came here?
NIO is speechless.
“Those are all backups. I’ve died many times, so there are many versions of me, but the real me…”
