The three parties that were temporarily formed all paid a heavy price.
The Emperor Emeritus and Empress Yin, through their schemes and intrigues with Wu Wei and Zheng Ya, uncovered a terrifying truth: the contract of equality had failed to bind them.
This cast a shadow over their plans to use the seal for immortality.
Zheng Ya, accompanied by twenty doubles, personally went to the murder scene and narrowly escaped death twice. Two double volunteers were sacrificed. He successively saw through the cold-blooded ruthlessness and cunning of the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager, as well as Wu Wei's insidious plan.
Unable to accept it for a moment, he hid in the void and observed the surrounding mountains where Wu Wei was causing chaos, pondering how to break the deadlock.
Wu Wei was filled with remorse. She hated herself for revealing the secret of devouring Sheng Xiang and creating a clone to Zheng Ya, scaring Zheng Ya away. Now, it was almost impossible for her to scheme against Zheng Ya to create a second clone!
Could this be the consequence of a single misstep that will haunt you forever?
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
Desperate to devour Zheng Ya's soul essence and refine it into the strongest power of a Foundation Establishment soul essence, Wu Wei grew increasingly enraged. Unable to contain himself, he unleashed his full power, bombarding the surrounding mountains to vent his fury at his failure: "Boom!"
One magical spell after another bombarded the mountains, sending up clouds of flying sand and stones, creating a deafening roar that filled a large area of the region.
Is this woman crazy?
Zheng Ya was at his wits' end, not knowing what to do with her.
The eighteen stand-ins within the supernatural mini-world, sharing Zheng Ya's perspective, all exclaimed, "Master, this woman cannot be allowed to live!"
"Yes, the most terrifying women are those who are selfish to the core. There's probably no evil thing in the world they wouldn't do. I suggest eliminating them to prevent future troubles!"
As the saying goes, "old age makes one wise," these are all elderly people over seventy years old. They have endured years of exploitation by the powerful and wealthy, bullying by their servants, and living a life worse than death, suffering from cold and hunger. They have tasted the full spectrum of human nature and are very accurate in judging people and things.
Faced with their suggestion, Zheng Ya sighed and transmitted his voice, "Do you think I don't want to kill her to prevent future troubles?"
"Uh, Master, if that's what you're saying, it means Wu Wei can't be killed. Why is that?" None of the eighteen stand-ins understood. Clearly, they were all unaware of the advantages of being a transmigrator or a scion of a noble family.
After Zheng Ya explained Wu Wei's identity to them, he added, "In fact, it is quite obvious that if I kill Wu Wei, it will be equivalent to eliminating any possibility of returning to the Qian Yuan Continent."
The problem is that the Tower of Babel mark is enslaving my life. Even if I don't want to return to the Qian Yuan Continent, I'll still be enslaved by the Tower of Babel mark and sent back to my death!
"Ah, in this situation, we really can't kill this woman!"
"I think the most urgent thing for Master is to break free from the enslavement of the Tower of Babel mark before we talk about anything else!"
"Yes, that makes sense!"
"I second that. If Master cannot remove the mark of the Tower of Babel and return to the Qian Yuan Continent without being enslaved by the Tower of Babel officials as a tool, he will become a slave of the aristocratic families and will have no chance of advancement!"
"Yes, Master, we must remove the Tower of Babel mark first before we are worthy of freedom and autonomy!"
The eighteen stand-ins offered their suggestions, one after another, on how Zheng Ya could remove the Tower of Babel mark.
This moved Zheng Ya: "No, I can't do that..."
"Master, please have no reservations. We are willing to sacrifice everything to remove the Tower of Babel mark from you. Let's do it!"
"Yes, we will cooperate fully, even if we die, we will die a worthy death!"
"My lord, for the sake of this world and all living beings, you cannot hesitate!"
Each heartfelt plea moved Zheng Ya, and it also showed him once again that true human kindness still exists!
They all knew that Zheng Ya was in a precarious situation. To remove the Tower of Babel mark, he had to use a willing substitute to transfer the soul's origin and lure the Tower of Babel mark to unleash its enslavement magic, so that Zheng Ya could seize the opportunity to separate the Tower of Babel mark imprinted in his Yintang acupoint.
It's equivalent to creating a clone, dividing the power of the Tower of Babel mark, attempting to weaken its abilities, and waiting for an opportunity to eliminate it.
The key point is that this operation may only have one chance.
If it fails even once, it will alarm the Tower of Babel authorities and they will take measures to control it. Otherwise, the current peaceful situation will not exist, and who knows what the outcome will be?
It should be noted that the official Babel Tower regime uses destructive methods to eliminate traitors, even those who attempt to escape.
This conclusion can be drawn from the time when Zheng Ya was on Earth, piloting a spaceship and flying millions of miles beyond Earth, only to receive a fatal warning from the Tower of Babel.
This means that Zheng Ya faces risks in removing the Tower of Babel mark.
However, based on the situation a few days ago where a Stand made a contract with someone and was enslaved by the Babel Mark, it is possible that the Stand will face the treatment of being enslaved by the Babel Mark a second time.
It won't lead to the Tower of Babel's mark being erased.
That's worth a try!
Zheng Ya was tempted. Considering that returning to the Qian Yuan Continent would mean facing suppression from his mortal enemy family and being manipulated by Wu Wei's family, he knew he wouldn't have a good outcome. Faced with the strong pleas from the eighteen stand-ins, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, let's give it a try."
However, you can vote to decide the order!
The two stand-ins who sacrificed themselves were chosen by drawing lots.
The eighteen stand-ins excitedly drew lots to determine their order of appearance.
Those who were ready to die chose numbers one through eighteen, lined up in a row, and waited for Zheng Ya to activate the secret method to remove the mark of the Tower of Babel. Everyone stood there with a smile on their face.
Zheng Ya was deeply moved and could not bear to look directly at the scene. He once again consumed spiritual energy to activate the Four Harmony Tower's extraordinary treasure system, analyzing the spacetime cutting and spacetime concealment techniques, fearing any errors and minimizing casualties.
These two spiritual techniques have not yet been condensed into spiritual runes.
It wasn't that Zheng Ya didn't want to condense the spacetime cutting and spacetime concealment spiritual techniques and runes, but rather that he didn't want the Tower of Babel officials to realize that he intended to break free from their control, so he didn't want to challenge their bottom line or their murderous intent.
The spiritual energy continued to be consumed, and the system analysis showed that both spiritual techniques were normal.
Zheng Ya glanced at Wu Wei, who was still wreaking havoc across the mountains, then stepped back into the underground chamber of the reef island, immediately activating the process of his soul's origin escaping from his mind's Niwan Palace: "Buzz."
A surprise attack without warning or warning.
The Tower of Babel mark immediately detected Zheng Ya's soul essence leaving his body, bursting forth with a dazzling light and instantly tracking it out of his body.
Little did they know that this was Zheng Ya's scheme to lure them away from their prey.
As Zheng Ya activated his soul essence to escape from his body, he simultaneously activated his time acceleration ability. Just as the Tower of Babel mark chased after him, he returned to his original body's Niwan Palace. Only a wisp of his soul essence remained hidden in the power of spacetime, luring the Tower of Babel mark to enter the Yintang of his No. 1 substitute.
With a "whoosh," the number one stand-in was simultaneously transported into the air and onto land.
Zheng Ya's main body directly activated the spacetime concealment technique, hiding in the underwater void to avoid the detection of the Tower of Babel mark.
However, Zheng Ya underestimated the power of the Tower of Babel mark. The Tower of Babel mark returned to patrol the sea, forcing Zheng Ya to release ten substitutes in succession to lure the Tower of Babel mark to the land and completely hide it in the seabed void, severing the mark's sensing ability.
However, before Zheng Ya could even celebrate his freedom, he was met with an urgent report from Daiyu: "Ah, something terrible has happened! The Hongli Continent is accelerating towards an extraterrestrial star system. According to the system's calculations, at this speed, it will collide with the extraterrestrial star system in no more than nine days..."
"What?! I've really messed things up! I'm doomed..." Zheng Ya was so shocked and regretful. How could he possibly win now? He was definitely going to die...
