Back in the room, Xu Yuehuai lay alone in the corner of the bed, curled up, enduring the pain.
The power within her body surged wildly, causing her to feel alternating chills and fever.
Why is this happening?
This didn't happen when Xu Yuehuai had her spiritual power and essence absorbed before.
But after the Dong Sang National Preceptor absorbed her essence twice, her body underwent increasingly severe changes each time.
"This National Preceptor of Dongsang also has a problem with his physique."
No wonder the Imperial Preceptor Dongsang insisted that she not run around in this room; it turns out he was worried that her body would undergo other changes after absorbing things from outside.
"Is he... improving my physique?"
"Do these alien races have this kind of special ability?"
After thinking for a while, Xu Yuehuai felt like countless firecrackers were exploding inside her brain, making it impossible for her to stay awake.
She gritted her teeth, trying to suppress the feeling of yin and yang clashing, but she still couldn't maintain their balance and fainted again from exhaustion.
After she lay quietly on the bed, Qi Guze jumped in through the window again.
"You're almost there, and your constitution will be completely reversed."
He sat down next to her, reached out and stroked her cheek, wiping away her cold sweat.
"Ah Yue, you've worked so hard, but it's all for your own good."
"Then you will be able to get revenge on all those who hurt you."
"They owe you everything, and they have to pay it back!"
Qi Guze took her pulse and found that her constitution had almost completely reversed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"You're treating me like a beast of burden! If you two keep torturing me like this, my old bones will fall apart!" The Grand Preceptor of Dongsang suddenly appeared behind Qi Guze.
"This is all you old geezer owed me, so what's a little bit of money coming back now?" Qi Guze retorted without any politeness.
"Yes, yes, yes! I owe you, but I don't owe your wife anything. I'm currently using my own essence and blood to continuously improve her physique. She's always on guard against me like a thief. Who knows, maybe one day when her cultivation recovers, she'll secretly kill me."
"When will you be able to recognize her? Tell her about my situation quickly, so as not to harm our own troops!" the Grand Preceptor of Dongsang kept nagging.
Qi Guze suddenly became very silent and sat there quietly.
"You're not planning to never acknowledge her again, are you?"
"Although you bear a mission between the two races, you also have the right to choose."
"You can extricate yourself from this matter before others know your identity."
The Imperial Advisor suddenly looked at Qi Guze with some sadness and patted him on the shoulder.
"Is it too late for me to quit now?"
"Don't they already know who I am?"
Do you think those people will help me hide my identity?
"As long as they exist in this world, I will never have a peaceful day."
Qi Guze smiled bitterly, his whole body exuding a sense of sorrow.
"Indeed, you are the final trigger in the whole plan."
"Once your power returns to its original state, the entire world will be yours to possess."
With a wave of his hand, the Grand Preceptor unleashed a powerful aura, as if the entire empire had appeared before them.
"But in the end, this world has become nothing more than a puppet in their hands. And so am I. What good is that?" Qi Guze turned to look at the Grand Preceptor of Dongsang, "Why don't I give you all my power? I see you really want to control the world."
"No! My old bones can no longer withstand such power. If it were twenty or thirty years earlier, I might still be able to give it a shot." The Grand Preceptor of Dongsang waved his hand and retreated repeatedly.
"But your plan was delayed by so much time. What happened?" Qi Guze asked.
The Imperial Preceptor of Dongsang frowned, his thoughts drifting back to decades ago. After a moment of thought, he finally spoke.
"Twenty or thirty years ago, we were going to start the plan, but at that time another race had a riot, which affected our race."
"Most of the strongest members of our clan have fallen into a deep sleep, and their power, which has spread throughout the surrounding area, has been suppressed."
"After several more riots, the younger generation suffered heavy casualties, and only the core members of the clan survived."
"Later, our clansmen faced difficulties in reproduction, and their numbers plummeted to rock bottom. If we did not migrate to other places, our clansmen might be wiped out."
"Therefore, we had to restart the plan, and this time it was a particularly important decision that would affect the future rise and fall of our race."
"If the plan fails, it is very likely that our entire race will perish."
"And you are our most important link!"
The Grand Preceptor of Dongsang paused abruptly as he spoke. He stared intently at Qi Guze, as if trying to see something else through his eyes.
"You are the product of the interaction between our race and the races of this world."
Even if the plan fails, you will likely survive.
"Those like you will become the last seeds of our race."
"We have high hopes for you, so please don't let us down."
Qi Guze sneered, "You just said I had the right to choose, but your words now make me realize that I have always been a pawn in your hands, and my life has always been controlled by you."
"Just like how easily I was able to spread my influence throughout the four kingdoms."
"Wasn't this partly due to your instigation?"
The Grand Preceptor of Dongsang nodded, but he did not reveal the truth.
The truth is not what Qi Guze thought.
Because the alien race discovered that Qi Guze was slowly becoming stronger and was about to break free from their control, they secretly suppressed his power, trying to make him weaker.
However, the alien races tried everything they could but failed, which left them with no choice but to allow Qi Guze's power to grow stronger and stronger.
When he grew to a certain size, the alien race had no choice but to start another plan: to support him to become the most powerful being in the entire four kingdoms, and then to control the entire four kingdoms through him.
This plan was put on hold for a while because of the riots in their original world.
When they came to their senses, Xu Yuehuai suddenly appeared beside Qi Guzhe, changed Qi Guzhe, and caused everything to deviate from its original course.
The alien race had no choice but to rush here, forcibly separating Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze in an attempt to turn things back to normal.
"Perhaps our fate has run its course."
"If I were to acknowledge her as my enemy, we might end up as enemies."
"She definitely wouldn't want to hurt me."
"And I don't want to run into her head."
