Even though he was prepared to close his eyes and cover his ears, the flash still made his vision go completely red, and his eardrums throbbed with a dull pain.
He felt as if he had been standing still for a century before his numb senses slowly returned to his body.
Ji Mofan opened his eyes.
The scene before him left him feeling completely bewildered.
What's going on? Wasn't he just on the battlefield where the Three Realms were fighting against Qu Jin?
How did we suddenly end up in such a strange place?
Looking around him, there was almost nothing but a vast expanse of blackness. Distant stars twinkled in all directions, as if he had been cast into the depths of the night sky.
Where did this lightning strike him from?
"You've got some nerve."
Suddenly, a voice broke into his long-lonely ears.
Ji Mofan suddenly realized that he was in such a place that even his perception of time had become blurred. He couldn't even remember whether he had been here for a second or whether thousands of years had passed.
Time here seems to stand still, or it seems to be infinite.
He looked around and looked up to find a point of light floating towards him.
Then the white light suddenly intensified and condensed into a human shape.
However, the figure was so dazzling that all the human features were blurred, and Ji Mofan could not see who it was.
"You are..." He raised his hand to shield his eyes, "The Heavenly Dao?"
Although his face was not clearly visible, the white light emanating from him felt very familiar to Ji Mofan.
He was just holding it in his hand.
To be honest, this was really outrageous. He originally thought that Xiao Wangyan would stop talking after accidentally letting slip that he seemed to have some kind of shady relationship with the Heavenly Dao.
After all, he was pretending to be asleep, which clearly indicated a refusal to communicate.
Unexpectedly, when Ji Mofan moved him to a secluded place where he wouldn't get in the way, Xiao Wangyan suddenly opened his eyes again.
"Qu Jin is going to destroy this little world," he suddenly said.
Ji Mofan turned around in confusion, "Is this considered a secret?"
Even if Qu Jin's madness meant he wouldn't actually launch any special attacks against this world afterward, the fact that he absorbed its power for his own ascension would be enough to allow the entire small world to recuperate for thousands of years.
It's not much different from destroying the world.
“No, but you can stop him.” Xiao Wangyan looked at him.
Ji Mofan blinked.
"Huh?" He tilted his head, a question mark slowly appearing on his face.
Himself? Alone?
How can we stop it? By being stubborn?
“There is something about you that sets you apart from others,” Xiao Wangyan continued. “In this world, you are the only one like me.”
Ji Mofan felt that the man's speech was incoherent.
What kind of riddle is Xiao Wangyan playing with him?
What makes him stand out from the crowd?
Appearance and temperament are certainly not these superficial things, and besides, this level alone could not possibly pose any threat to Qu Jin.
We can't let him seduce someone at such a critical moment, can we?
It sounds bizarre.
In terms of strength, he was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Although there are few people in this world who are not at the Nascent Soul stage by the age of thirty, when it comes to fighting, age doesn't matter, only the size of the fist matters.
In terms of talent, he possesses a mutated ice spirit root, making him a genius among the best.
He was confident, but he wouldn't let himself become foolishly arrogant at a time like this. Talent is just talent; without time and diligence, he is nothing at all.
But aside from these subjective conditions, what else could he possibly have that would make Xiao Wangyan say "only you"?
Ji Mo Fan's eyes darted around.
...Wow, no way?
"You won't tell me... about my rebirth?"
Ji Mofan murmured something, and a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the midst of the storm overhead, striking him precisely where he uttered the word "rebirth".
Ji Mo Fan was truly startled, and he jumped up and down on the spot.
It wasn't simply because he was frightened by the thunder; he's not a child, so why would he be afraid of thunderstorms?
No... could Heaven really hear what he said? And even respond to him?
Ji Mofan looked down at Xiao Wangyan's expression again, and saw that his eyes were deep, but there was no confusion or hesitation in them.
Although his words were interrupted by the thunder, Xiao Wangyan should have understood what he wanted to say.
Moreover, they showed no surprise whatsoever, clearly having known all along what was going on.
Ji Mofan's eyes widened slightly.
No wonder, Qianhelou's fate in this life is completely different from that in his previous life.
That Yu Wen had no connection with any minor sects in the Demon Realm, and he didn't even keep the Arc Light Qilin.
Ji Mofan originally thought that it was just a butterfly effect brought about by his own rebirth, but he forgot that Xiao Wangyan might also be a variable in it.
In his previous life, when he dealt with Yu Wen, he had never seen the old landlord who was possessed by Xiao Wangyan in this life, nor did he notice that there was a scorched earth in the nearby town that had been struck by the Heavenly Tribulation.
It is likely that the old master of the tower truly perished due to the tribulation of advancement, and after the old master of the tower was lost, Yu Wen, who was the only one who could speak with the tower, also fell into some trouble due to his inner demons, which is why he became the person Ji Mofan later saw.
But in this life, when he arrived near Qianhelou, apart from hearing that they had increased the protection fee, there was no further trouble.
This must have been Xiao Wangyan's idea. Cultivators have never been fond of gold and silver, and only he, the Demon Lord who has practically turned his Demon Palace into a gilded palace, would be so enthusiastic about these things.
