"He...he really came? Who...who exactly is he?" Lin Mo asked, his voice filled with barely concealed astonishment.
Even the usually calm and composed system seemed to be shaken by some kind of power at this moment, and uttered similar sentiments.
Is there... only one possibility?
An indescribable emotion welled up in Lin Mo's heart. He suddenly looked up and saw that Pu Hang's figure was changing at an astonishing speed. The slightly strange shape that had appeared earlier was now rapidly fading away, replaced by the outline of a human.
Just then, a strange and domineering crimson light suddenly erupted from Pu Hang's body, instantly illuminating the entire night sky. The light was breathtakingly beautiful, yet it also carried an indescribable eeriness and terror.
It was like a shooting star falling from the sky, tearing through the dense darkness with its dazzling light, making it impossible to look directly at.
Lin Mo stared blankly at the scene before him, a profound and indescribable shock welling up within him. This…
"Puhang" slowly opened his deep eyes, his voice low and magnetic, like a call from the abyss: "Why awaken me at such a moment?"
Beside him, those once vibrant servants of the gods now seemed to have all their life force drained away. Their bodies became withered and fragile, like dead leaves swept by the autumn wind, lying lifelessly on the ground.
Each fallen body seemed to tell a silent story of sorrow, and a heavy aura of death permeated the air, sending chills down one's spine.
Lin Mo stood there, stunned, his hands instinctively gripping the Dragon Slayer tightly.
"It's you?" Pu Hang asked softly. "What, after all these years, you still haven't figured it out?"
At this moment, Lin Mo noticed that Pu Hang's gaze was fixed on the giant rat, not on himself.
The giant rat's eyes flashed with rage, and its voice echoed through the space like thunder: "Think you understand? Hmph, you turned me into this inhuman, ghostly creature back then, I wish I could grind you to dust!"
Its tone was filled with endless resentment and anger, as if it wanted to unleash all its hatred.
"Oh? You think grinding me to dust will dispel the hatred in your heart?" Pu Hang revealed a strange smile, his mouth widening as if he wanted to devour the whole world. "Fine, then I'll stand here and let you grind me to dust."
How does this sound? I promise I won't fight back; you can do whatever you want with me.
Lin Mo was stunned, a feeling of indescribable astonishment welling up inside him.
What shocked him was not Puhang's arrogant words, but the familiar tone of voice—it was Chinese, the language exactly the same as his mother tongue.
"This...this guy, could he be the time travel pioneer that the giant rat mentioned?" Lin Mo's heart was filled with shock.
"Anyway, this body doesn't belong to you!" the giant rat scoffed. Its voice was full of disdain and anger, as if it wanted to unleash all its pent-up rage.
"If I were to destroy this body, you probably wouldn't care too much, would you? After all, you have tens of thousands of spare bodies waiting for you to possess, don't you?" the giant rat continued to mock, its tone filled with contempt for Pu Hang.
Upon hearing this, Pu Hang laughed heartily, his laughter revealing a strange confidence and arrogance.
"Hey buddy, why are you still so fixated on your health?" Pu Hang said, shaking his head. "I've explained it to you so many times, you really can't blame me for how you've ended up like this."
His tone carried a hint of helplessness and mockery, as if he were explaining something to an ignorant child.
“We are all transmigrators, and I also want to help you become a god in this world,” Pu Hang continued. “I also want you to be like me, able to let your soul possess other bodies at will.”
It's your own fault for not being able to fully integrate your soul with your body in this world.
How can you blame me?
"So you tricked me into possessing this thing's body?" the giant rat questioned.
“Brother, do you remember when I gave you the right to choose?” Pu Hang’s voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of profoundness that was hard to detect. “You could choose to enjoy your old age in the palace, die peacefully in your sleep, and complete your life’s journey in peace.”
Alternatively, you could choose to accept a less-than-perfect body and continue living in this world. And you, in the end, chose the latter; you chose to live.
He paused slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "In fact, it was because of my help that you were able to live for nearly two hundred years. Tell me, can a normal person live that long?"
Pu Hang's tone revealed a hint of disdain and sarcasm, "What's more, in these two hundred years, I helped you ascend to the throne, let you taste the flavor of power, feel the thrill of controlling life and death, and also gave you the company of countless pure and beautiful women."
Have you forgotten all of this?
Tsk tsk tsk, it really proves the old saying: "A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
I've helped you so much, and you're still holding a grudge against me.
“It was this giant rat that chose it itself…” Lin Mo sighed softly, but his thoughts quickly returned to his senses, and a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart. “Damn it, this routine is exactly the same as my previous system.”
It's nothing more than wanting the host to experience what it's like to be an emperor, and then using the lure of immortality to entice the giant rat into this seemingly glamorous but actually treacherous trap, to possess this bizarre body.
