As Ye Wuque opened his eyes, the entire chaotic void suddenly underwent a strange change for a moment!

It's as if everything has stopped in mid-air!

But it returned to normal immediately.

This change seemed to happen in just a moment and could not be sensed at all.

"yawn……"

After opening his eyes, Ye Wuque immediately stretched himself and yawned loudly.

At this moment, Ye Wuque's pair of bright eyes, which were clearly black and white, seemed to have undergone a strange change.

Even deeper, as if hiding an unfathomable unknown brilliance.

Soon after, Ye Wuque finally let out a sigh.

"Seven-step Saint King..."

"Finally I have come to this point..." Now, only Ye Wuque himself knows the hardships he has gone through along the way. He has been through too much and has walked on this road for too long.

Now that my realm has reached a higher level, how can I not feel emotional?

Slowly standing up, Ye Wuque once again looked at the entire ancient stone platform. It was completely bare, without a drop of platinum water. It was obvious that it had all been sucked dry by him.

As for how strong Ye Wuque is now after his breakthrough...

Ye Wuque at this moment didn't seem to care. He turned his gaze and looked back in the direction of Erheyu.

At this moment, Ye Wuque's eyes suddenly moved, and then flickered slightly. His gaze stayed there for a few breaths. It was unknown what he saw. Finally, he retracted his gaze and looked at the blood-red coffin that was close at hand.

He walked forward and once again came into the blood-red coffin, looking at the masked woman sleeping inside. This time, Ye Wuque's eyes became calmer and deeper.

Before that, the masked woman gave her a sense of urgency!

Where does it come from?

The cause and effect of the masked woman is too great!

So, he felt the urgency, but as he took a step further and broke through to the Seventh Step Saint King, he finally relaxed a little.

Thinking of this, Ye Wuque no longer hesitated and spoke softly.

"wake up."

As he called out, the masked woman who was originally sleeping in the blood-red coffin suddenly trembled her eyelids, and then slowly opened her eyes again, waking up from her sleep again.

Opening her eyes again, the masked woman's beautiful eyes were still somewhat empty, but other than that, there was a hint of unprecedented... comfort and relaxation.

It seemed as if she slept very soundly, and she even yawned immediately afterwards.

Slowly, the masked woman half-sat up again from the bloody coffin.

This time, Ye Wuque was standing very close, and all of a sudden, their eyes met again.

Ye Wuque's eyes were calm and deep.

The masked woman's eyes were empty and quiet. She still seemed to have not remembered anything and was still like a puppet.

But gradually, a hint of spirit appeared in the masked woman's empty eyes!

Such a sudden change made Ye Wuque's eyes move, because this should be a sign that his memory was beginning to recover.

The spirit in the masked woman's eyes seemed to grow brighter and brighter, and finally, her eyes became clear, as if she had finally woken up.

But the next moment, Ye Wuque saw deep sadness and numbness in her eyes.

It seems as if it has gone through a long period of time, desolate and heavy.

Even time cannot bury it.

"Are you... the new creature that has obtained me..."

A hoarse, numb female voice suddenly rang out from the dead silent ancient stone platform, with a voice full of deep fatigue.

This is the voice of the masked woman!

It was also the first time Ye Wuque heard it, but he was still certain that even though her voice was hoarse and numb, it was originally very nice to hear.

The masked woman's words seemed to have been repeated countless times. This time, she was still just repeating them, but they were full of direction.

"If you're saying I'll 'make a wish' for you, then don't worry, I won't."

Ye Wuque's voice also rang out, like a needle hitting the nail on the head.

but!

But the masked woman revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. No one knew if she was mocking herself or feeling sad, but what was certain was that her eyes became dim, and there was a deep pain in them that seemed to come from a long, long time ago!

Finally, she looked at Ye Wuque with numb and dim eyes, and said with a smile, but in a hoarse voice: "They... every one of them..."

"At the beginning... that's what they said... "

Immediately, the masked woman shook her head gently and closed her eyes, her whole body emitting a kind of sadness and numbness to the extreme of clarity.

"You...will be no exception..."

A soft voice fell from the masked woman's mouth. She did not open her eyes, as if she did not want to see this terrible world anymore. It seemed that for her, being able to close her eyes was the greatest freedom!

This moment.

Even Ye Wuque remained silent.

Although it was just a few words, someone as smart as him could already deduce most of it!

Cover the immortal essence.

He was not the first creature to possess the masked woman. Before him, there were many, many creatures who had already possessed the masked woman!

because……

The masked woman is a rare commodity that has supreme value and significance!

It is enough to drive every living being who knows her existence and power crazy!

In their eyes, the masked woman is not a living person, but just a tool with great strategic role!

Grab her!

Possess her!

Make a wish to her!

One wish after another!

More and more exaggerated wishes!

Even if this "wish" requires paying a terrible price, I still can't stop!

Until another stronger or luckier being appears and takes "her" away, or reoccupies her, and then...

Over and over again.

A continuous cycle.

Until forever and ever, it goes on and on, as if... there is no end!

And "she" herself is always in a process of sleep, confusion, and confinement, the same cycle repeating over and over again.

No one treats her as a human being, no one cares about her!

"She" also seemed to have no power to protect herself.

Such an experience...

After Ye Wuque put himself in the shoes of the masked woman, he immediately felt an overwhelming sense of despair and sorrow!

But the experienced Ye Wuque knew that the masked woman at this time had already lost her trust in all living things and would no longer trust anyone.

But he still said: "Your existence has indeed driven countless creatures crazy, wanting to get you and making wishes to you."

"I know you don't trust any living being now."

"But, you can also make a wish to me once and try..."

"I will help you as much as I can."

As soon as these words were spoken, the masked woman who had her eyes closed immediately opened her eyes and looked at Ye Wuque again!

Her eyes were still numb and dim.

But she kept staring at Ye Wuque, as if she wanted to see through him completely.

Ye Wuque looked at her without dodging or avoiding.

It was not until more than ten breaths later that the hoarse and numb voice of the masked woman finally sounded.

"Can I make a wish for you?"

"Yes."

"You will help me?"

"Yes."

"Then... I want to die, truly and completely."
