"Wake up."
Ren Suo blinked his eyes, and his body naturally fell under the influence of gravity. However, the thick purple rope tightly bound his body, leaving only his head hanging down, and his neck felt very tired.
He turned his head and saw Sony's cold and arrogant face. He was also tied up with purple ropes. Just now, he used the mind link to gently call Ren Suo in his heart.
Because Luoyan City is a city where the sun and the moon shine together, the Night Moon Warrior's attribute of "becoming wise at night" is naturally triggered. He can now act automatically without Ren Suo's orders. If Ren Suo has orders, he will react according to his personality characteristics - for example, the clone is now in the form of Sony, so even if he wants to wake Ren Suo, he will not shout directly, but call him in his heart very secretly and proudly.
Ren Suo stood up straight, raised his head and looked around, and found that he had arrived at the interior of a white tower. The walls reflected a cold alloy luster. He raised his head but could not see the top of the tower, only the warm rainbow-like light pouring down from the top of the tower.
Behind them was naturally the shadowy Great Faranaya who had tied up the two of them, and in front of them, on the alloy throne favored by the spire's glory, sat an emperor wearing a flaming robe and with golden hair and divine eyes.
"Ant, who allowed you to look me in the eye?"
Sithis's eyes flashed with divine light, and the terrifying mental energy drilled into Ren Suo's mind like a pile driver. Ren Suo's consciousness was instantly turned into a ball of jam, and he completely lost his ability to think. He was also implanted with a command and obedience program, and completely turned into a slave controlled by anyone!
Lanaya did not react to this. She did not really need to control the coordinates of the other plane. She just needed the coordinates of the other plane as a bargaining chip. Even if the coordinates of the other plane were controlled by Sithis, it would be meaningless - Lanaya just needed her person, not her heart.
In fact, if Sony had not been protecting the coordinates of the other dimension, the coordinates of the other dimension would have been damaged by mental storms and their wills would have been destroyed, and they would have been transformed into obedient tools.
Moreover, Lord Menelus is a great lord who is particularly good at spiritual energy, and Sithis's blood aura is also suspected to be related to spiritual influence. It is normal for him to take the initiative to transform the coordinates of the different plane into his own property, otherwise Lanaya would doubt whether the coordinates of the different plane in her hand are fake.
Although in this state, the Alien Plane Coordinates will obey Sithis, but the Alien Plane Coordinates are bound by herself and her will is completely irrelevant.
However, Lanaya is not the only one who knows this.
Sony knows it too.
Therefore Ren Suo also knew it.
Xidis’s violent brainwashing was one of the important reasons why Ren Suo didn’t dare to let Dong Chengling or Ren Xingmei take risks.
From the beginning, Ren Suo knew that he might be transformed by Sithis into a slave who would completely lose his personal will, unable to even resist, and be at the mercy of others!
But he had already prepared ways to avoid Sithis's violent brainwashing!
That is - Sony clone!
In addition to Sithis who can give orders to brainwashed people, Sony, as a prince of the empire and a blood-born lord, also has such authority!
Up to now, Sithis's power still comes from Lord Menelaus, and the blood descendant Archduke Sony, who has been recognized by Lord Menelaus, has almost the same operating authority as Sithis. Naturally, he can also directly give orders to Renso, the slave dominated by the Lord's power!
Seeing Ren Suo's eyes go blank and he has completely become the Grand Lord's toy, Sony kept his expression unchanged and secretly ordered in his heart:
"Do you obey my orders?"
Ren Suo answered obediently, "Yes."
Everything happened just as Ren Suo expected!
Next, Sony only needs to let Ren Suo restart Ren Xingmei's soul thinking program, then the recorder's archive will overwrite the current archive, and directly restore Ren Suo to the previous state!
Yes, Ren Suo discovered that if he made good use of "Different Life", he would be almost immune to all mental damage - but only when using the recording body.
Because the recorder's archive is unchanged, and the main body is automatically archived and updated at any time, all mental damage to the recorder can be covered by restarting the thinking program.
But the physical program is different. Not only can it not be overwritten, it will even directly affect the main body. Ren Suo had already discovered this when he was assassinated while playing as Sony. It may be because unlike the mental memory overwrite, his body really became someone else's body, and it cannot be plug-and-play like mental memory. The body injured during the transformation is still his body.
Logically speaking, after he changed into a female body, if he changed back, it would be possible that some parts of his body would be considered damaged, and the damage would be directly reflected in his original body...
But no matter what, Sony can now directly modify Ren Suo's thinking program and help Ren Suo regain his will!
Sony pondered for a moment and ordered in his heart:
"Start the core program."
"The core program has been opened."
"Implant the message into the fundamental will: 'Your clone is your master, little one', repeat 65,536 times, set the attributes to [Read-only], [Hidden]."
"Completed."
"Clear all traces of modification and close the core program."
"Completed."
Sony sighed slightly and said in a voice too low to be heard: "This is how I help you."
"Restart the will program."
This time, there was no response from Ren Suo.
Ren Suo did not even look up. He stood there in a daze, pretending to be a toy, silently waiting for the development of the plot.
At this moment, Lanaya suddenly swung her hand, purple light flew out and hit the silver-haired beautiful girl lying on the side!
"Sony, you even brought this toy with you. How much do you like this toy..." Lanaya sighed and pulled the rope to signal Sony not to move. "Don't get excited. Both the corpse on the ground and you are superfluous people in this world."
"Then, Sithis, can you respond to my request?"
Lanaya stood on the Lake of Shadows, looking coldly at Sithis on the throne: "Now your son and the coordinates of the alternate dimension are in my hands. As long as you are willing to quit wearing armor and leave the task of opening the Gate of Oblivion to me, I will let you leave with your son. Isn't that fair?"
Lanaya and Sithis began to argue about the issues of Armor and Sony. Sithis asked to put aside the dispute and jointly develop the project. Lanaya strongly opposed it, saying that you will be responsible for the consequences. If you don't stop, please don't say that I didn't warn you.
"...If I can't become a Grand Lord before this, and gain the qualifications to rule the world and control civilization, even if I have the Bloodline Law, I will only be a plaything of the Grand Lord. Nocturnal won't protect me much. I might end up as Namira's lunch, or a toy of Morag..."
"So..." Lanaya tightened the rope, "Step into the shadow, and I will send you and your son away from Luoyan City."
Lanaya's shadow realm was like a lake that half-flooded the hall, but Sithis's throne became the only isolated island. The shadow could not cross the invisible barrier and reach the true emperor of the mortal world.
Sony didn't say anything, just sighed.
Ren Suo suddenly felt the sadness coming from his clone from his heart.
At this time, Sithis smiled and said, "You know, Menelaus is a very suspicious prince. He is the most ambitious prince, but he also hates ambitious subordinates the most... In the Menelaus pantheon, except for me, there are few capable descendants of gods."
"Moreover, in the past hundred years, the Grand Lord has been unable to directly interfere in worldly affairs, and Menelaus's paranoia has become increasingly severe."
"The reason why he chose me as the Bloodline Great Law is not only because I am indeed capable, but most importantly, because I have a handle that he can use to manipulate me at will. Now that I am going to become the Grand Lord, it doesn't matter whether this handle is still there or not."
Lanaya's face changed, she pulled the rope and dragged Sony in front of her.
"Sithis, do you think you can make me let go of your son with this kind of talk? You are wishful thinking. I will only give you 10 seconds. Once these 10 seconds are up, I will separate Sony's head from his body!"
Sithis laughed: "Lanaya, your first mistake was thinking that I would let you make your second mistake."
"You brought the coordinates of the alternate plane with you. Are you planning to force me to leave and then open the Gate of Annihilation? But now that the psychic energy has been gathered and the coordinates of the alternate plane are here, why don't I open the Gate of Annihilation now?"
As he spoke, Sithis took out the key of oblivion from his arms - Menelaus's razor!
"In the name of Menelaus's razor, cut through the darkness!"
Lanaya immediately took out the emerald skull key and chanted loudly: "In the name of the skull key, unlock the darkness!"
Amid the chanting, Ren Suo heard a low echo coming from his clone:
"Until now, he is still protecting me in his own way."
Ren Suo was slightly startled, he turned his head to glance at Sony's clone, and found that the corners of Sony's clone's mouth were slightly raised, but the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.
Ren Suo suddenly thought of something.
Although Sony's clone is his own clone, it is different from himself. The highest core program of Sony's clone sequence is not personal will, but Ren Suo's order.
Therefore, when Ren Suo gave him an order, the order became his core program. However, this core program did not have any personal will attached to it, and it would not become the "Sony version of Ren Suo" or the "sister version of Ren Suo" like Ren Suo did. No matter how Ren Suo changed, he would clearly know that he was Ren Suo.
So the clone has now directly turned into - Sony!
Possessing Sony's memory, thinking, world outlook, and thinking ability, and without any other contamination of subjective will, this is completely Sony's rebirth!
Sony's clone looked at Sithis who was singing loudly in front of him, and the sadness in his heart was as thick as ink that could not be dissolved.
"I am the dangerous wall he carefully protects"
"He's a bug I can't hate."
"We have the same ambitions, but we are very different"
"He tried to rule the world from above, dominating the future with war and death"
"I long to rebuild the world from the bottom up, to achieve peace through blood and revolution"
"A greedy man dies for money, a martyr dies for fame"
"Each of them sees the other as a greedy man and each of them as a martyr"
"There is no greater sorrow in the world than this"
"Father, I paid off all my debts to you that night with your cassette tape."
"Now, let me..."
At this time, the chanting had reached its end, the spiritual energy in the tower began to vibrate, the top of the tower began to glow, and the emerald silver glow of space-time energy had favored Ren Suo.
Ren Suo stared at Sony blankly and listened to Sony's last words.
"I will rebel against you with my own will!"
Terrifying spiritual energy erupted from the corner of the tower, and the silver-haired girl instantly turned into a burly man! He held the black pearl in his hand, turned into a dark force, crossed the shadows, and rushed towards Ren Suo!
The crazy and surging spiritual energy almost distorted the air, and Los's speed was as fast as thunder. He instantly burst out the power of the bloodline cartridge, and this attack was enough to break everything and deal 2664% true damage!
Ren Suo had anticipated a lot before, but he didn't expect that Los's attack was so fast that Ren Suo almost couldn't react!
Fortunately, Sony, who had already received the order, had already slightly turned sideways to help Ren Suo block the attack, buying Ren Suo this split second of time to react!
Before Los's psychic sword touched him, Ren Suo activated "Time Travel"!
In an instant, 1 second was extended to 16 minutes and 40 seconds. Ren Suo lowered his head and saw that Los's sword was slowly advancing towards his chest and abdomen!
Within this time scale, Ren Suo's ability to move was also weakened to the extreme, and he was simply unable to avoid Los's attacks.
However, because of "time travel", he will not suffer any harm during this one second of roaming time!
But at this time, Ren Suo didn't care about Los's fatal blow, but focused his mind on the mental connection: "You... Sony..."
At this time scale, the only one who can still communicate with Ren Suo is naturally Sony's clone who can also activate "time travel".
However, he activated the "Time Travel" after he was pierced, and the injury could not be reversed. Moreover, the purpose of Sony's clone was to be killed by Los and crushed to ashes by Sithis.
"If possible, can you return the original will?" Sony laughed in his heart, not even noticing the pain of being pierced through. "Because of Loriface, I now particularly hate talking to my brother complex."
Ren Suo's face darkened. He was still in Ren Xingmei's state, so he was naturally very angry about such words: "What's wrong with brother control? Is brother control eating your rice? And I don't know if the attribute of the different plane coordinates is bound to the soul. Once I change back, Sithis may find out!"
"I didn't expect that at the end of my life I would be chatting with a brother-con." Sony sighed.
Ren Suo collected his thoughts and asked seriously, "Are you...really Sony now?"
"The real Sony died a long time ago. I am just a clone who thinks I am Sony," Sony said, "But I am not happy about this and I don't want to chat with my brother-con. Can you skip this part quickly so that I can rest in peace soon?"
Ren Suo was silent for a moment. At this time, the blade of Los's sword had destroyed the clothes on his belly.
"If you feel sorry for me, you don't have to." Sony listened to Rensou's sentimental girl's thoughts and said, "It's really embarrassing to be sympathized by a brother-con."
Ren Suo was so angry that his teeth itched: "You..."
Sony: "But people are just weird.
If no one sympathizes, you won’t care how much the wound hurts;
If no one laughs at you, you won’t care how ugly the scar is;
If there is no one to compare, who will know what the future holds.
You may not have realized that the one who actually killed me was not you Earthlings, but Loriface."
"She was the only one who made me realize how ridiculous I really was. I sympathized with the people but I also oppressed them. I was unwilling to be bound but I was willing to obey orders. I always wanted to see the future but I went the other way... Don't listen to her nonsense about 'getting my attention'. She pretended not to know that I was Sony and scolded me without knowing how much pleasure she had."
"Sony had already been killed thousands of times by Loriface at that time, and what was left was just a corpse seeking death. I can't shine like Los, I am destined to be a cornerstone of infamy for thousands of years."
"My existence is a sin. I'm sorry for being born as a human being."
"I am very satisfied to be able to contribute the last bit of my remaining energy to the rising of the morning star and the dispersal of the evening flowers like this."
"Although my records have been overwritten by your sister, I don't know if you have any other way to revive me... However, I just want to leave without any worries now, is that okay?"
"Please, stop teasing me and stop keeping me here."
"It didn't work last time, but it must be possible this time, right?"
"For an animal, I have lived too long."
The blade of Los' sword pierced through Ren Suo's wandering body, but he didn't care about it at all. He just stared blankly at Sony who was smiling in front of him.
"I actually hate you and your sister. One of you has no ambitions, the other is content with a small fortune, and you have all kinds of dirty thoughts in your mind that are no less than mine."
Sony laughed and said, "But who says that small goals are necessarily worse than big ambitions? Who says that voluntarily going to die is necessarily more cowardly than bravely living on?"
"Alas, maybe it's because a dying man speaks kindly, or maybe I'm just too wordy... Ren Suo, I have one last thing to say to you."
"Don't give up on your goals. Engrave your imagined future in your mind and use it as motivation to move forward."
future?
Ren Suo's mind conjured up a scene: Qiao Muyi came back, took off her countermeasure vest and slumped on the sofa, Dong Chengling and Gu Yueyan came out of the kitchen to call everyone to eat, Xiao Jiu, who was doing homework, cheered and ran out, Black Cat jumped in from the balcony and turned back into Luna, Lin Xianyu, who was beaten by Ren Xingmei, cheered and threw away the controller, and Ren Suo, who was stepping on the back of his clone in the bedroom, was still knitting a scarf...
Wait, something is wrong with this picture. It's ok that my sister appears, but why are Lin Xianyu and her clone also there? And why am I so miserable?
Rensuo's core program began to self-check and scan for viruses.
But at this moment he suddenly realized something - why was it enough for his sister to appear?
"Recognize who you are as soon as possible, Ren Suo." Sony smiled slightly: "May we have no regrets when we reach the end of the road."
The blazing sword whizzed past, piercing through both men completely.
The burning thoughts surged up, completely contaminating Ren Suo's core program.
In fact, Ren Suo had already understood a reality, but he refused to admit it.
However, seeing Sony sacrifice everything for his ambition, seeing Ren Xingmei envisioning her future in middle school, and seeing the future he had subconsciously sketched out, Ren Suo couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
If he continues to degenerate like this, he will definitely regret it.
He wants to become stronger!
Become stronger than everyone!
His determination has never been so firm as it is at this moment!
He had to become stronger than everyone else, otherwise—
In that house full of monks, wouldn't he have no status in the future?
The third level of 100% peak cultivation!
The body is in a critical moment when it is pierced by the sharp blade of a powerful warrior!
An ambition that is more determined than taking the college entrance examination or taking the civil service examination!
Dripping water wears away the stone, breakthrough in battle, lofty ambitions!
The cyclone was spinning violently, and spiritual energy was pouring into the body crazily. The inner ring cyclone, which had already accumulated to the extreme, was once again differentiating into a new ring!
Ren Suo, fourth turn!
