Chu Nian started spouting nonsense. With the original owner's abilities as a mere mortal soul, how could she possibly have the power to turn against Lan Nian of the divine realm?
But Lan Nian couldn't help but take it to heart after hearing it.
However, as the saying goes, "Even if you lose the battle, you can't lose your spirit!" Although Lan Nian took Chu Nian's words to heart, she didn't show it on her face at all. Instead, she sneered mockingly and said, "You really are shameless. You said you could turn against me, but you haven't because you don't want to devour other Lan Nian like I did. Then, where are the two people who saved you? Where are they now?"
Chu Nian said, "As I just said, they are where they belong."
Lan Nian: "Yes, they've already been devoured by you. Their place is in your soul, haha!"
The moment she uttered that laugh, Chu Nian unleashed a powerful lightning spell, blasting it towards Lan Nian.
Lan Nian's expression changed, and her laughter abruptly stopped. As she swiftly retreated, she summoned a sword. The moment the sword was summoned, it transformed into thousands of flying swords above her head, buzzing and shooting towards Chu Nian.
"Woman, you clearly had a chance to escape, but you stayed here instead. You've brought this upon yourself, so you can't blame anyone else!" Lan Nian coldly rebuked, her eyes blazing with murderous intent as she stared at Chu Nian. She believed that if she could devour the corpse in front of her, the magical powers of those two men would also be hers.
In that case, she didn't lose out.
Therefore, no matter what, she would not let go of the female corpse in front of her.
Seeing this, Chu Nian also drew a sword. With a slash in the air, the sword transformed into thousands of arrows, meeting Lan Nian's sword.
She asked, "Lan Nian, what is your relationship with the 'above' that separated the overlapping spacetime?"
Lan Nian urged her sword forward and replied, "What's it to you?"
Chu Nian: "They took my brother away. You'd better tell me everything you know about them, or else... ha!" She sneered. She wouldn't hesitate to use "soul-searching techniques" on someone like Lan Nian.
Under normal circumstances, if the soul strength of the person being searched is much weaker than that of the person using the technique, there will be no danger. However, if the soul strength of both parties is not much different, and the person using the technique is only one small realm weaker than the person being searched, then the person being searched will instinctively resist the person using the technique.
Thus, either the caster fails to resist and suffers soul damage, resulting in becoming stupid or insane; or the caster is attacked by the spell, causing them to become stupid or insane.
Lan Nian's soul was clearly very strong, and Chu Nian felt he wasn't entirely confident he could perform a soul search without any resistance. However, Chu Nian was well aware of the difference in soul strength between himself and Lan Nian, and felt that the soul search technique was still worth a try.
Hearing her words, Lan Nian laughed mockingly a few more times and said, "By the way, speaking of your younger brother Lan Fei, ha, he's really young and fresh, a real cutie, exceptionally delicious! Haha!"
Chu Nian looked at her speechlessly and said, "Please don't change the subject. Quickly tell me everything you know about them."
Lan Nian: "Trying to get information out of me? Dream on! Unless you give me all the magical power of those two people from before, you can just let your precious little brother be torn to pieces by 'the higher-ups'! Hahaha...hahaha..."
She burst into laughter again.
Chu Nian frowned upon seeing this. She sensed that Lan Nian was no ordinary madwoman. But upon closer reflection, this woman not only devoured her own time-space clones from other dimensions, but also wanted to devour the souls of those closely associated with these clones—could someone who wasn't madwoman do such a thing?
Of course, those time-space clones might actually be her selves from other dimensions, and after she devoured and merged with them, they might have countless benefits for strengthening her soul. But the souls of other mortals would be of no great use to a god like her.
Chu Nian finally decided to take the risk, suddenly transforming into a bolt of lightning and appearing behind Lan Nian.
Lan Nian, who was still laughing wildly, suddenly felt a chill run through her body from behind. Before she could react, she felt a hand pressing down on her head like a mountain.
The next moment, a surge of boundless magical energy flowed into her mind, entering her soul through her brain. She wanted to resist, but the thought had barely crossed her mind before she felt dizzy.
She temporarily lost her sense of self.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in the same small cave she had been in before. All her magical treasures, storage artifacts, and spatial artifacts were gone.
That was all the wealth she had accumulated over her entire life, and it was all gone just like that?
Although she was unconscious for a period of time, she clearly remembered what happened before she lost consciousness.
She had no idea that she had been subjected to a soul-searching technique. She had previously thought that Chu Nian had successfully attacked her vital points and that she was surely going to die. Unexpectedly, she woke up safely here.
What's going on?
She didn't think that the corpse Lan Nian was a kind person who would suddenly have a change of heart and spare her life at the last minute.
Her thinking was correct. Chu Nian's original plan was to take all the memories she could from her body after obtaining them through the Soul Searching Technique, and then send her to her death. However, Chu Nian made a major discovery after obtaining her memories: he did not kill her, nor even hurt her. In order to prevent her from going completely insane due to the Soul Searching Technique, he even used his magic power to nourish her soul.
However, Chu Nian did take everything she could from Lan Nian's possessions and memories. In addition to taking Lan Nian's numerous treasures and memories, she also took some of Lan Nian's magical power.
This Lan Nian takes pleasure in devouring living souls, and Chu Nian doesn't want her to become so powerful that she can devour whomever she wants. It would be best if she just stayed here and cultivated obediently, never leaving her territory for the rest of her life.
So when Chu Nian left, she drew a circle around Lan Nian's territory, preventing others from entering and her from leaving. As long as the gods existed, she could absorb divine energy to sustain her life; as for anything else, she shouldn't even think about it.
In the original owner Lan Nian's memories, her former best friend Wang Xinrui was manipulated and used by Lan Nian to commit a series of harmful acts. However, in this Lan Nian's memories, it was Wang Xinrui who took the initiative to approach her.
Before Wang Xinrui approached her, she hadn't considered going to find the original owner of Lan Nian. Because the original Lan Nian was separated from this Devouring Maniac Lan Nian by several timelines, a considerable distance away.
The Devouring Maniac Lan Nian planned to devour people from one timeline to another, ensuring no one was left behind. However, after Wang Xinrui approached her, she persuaded her to seek out the original Lan Nian, promising that she could not only win over Lan Nian's boyfriend Cheng Lei but also meet the soon-to-arrive, incredibly handsome young man, Lan Fei.
