The moment Bai Xi regained consciousness, she jolted to her feet like a carp leaping out of the water, fearing she might be attacked. Before her eyes was a male body with a physique comparable to a male model, full chest muscles, and clearly defined abdominal muscles, no less impressive than a sculpture.
Her expression froze. She looked up along the man's neck and was met with a face that looked 80 percent like Safa's. Her heart almost stopped at that moment.
For a moment, Bai Xi almost truly believed that the demon in front of her was Safa, but seeing his cold and unfamiliar expression, her heart slowly calmed down.
This is definitely not Safa.
"Are you a primordial demon?"
Bai Xi's chaotic mind cleared up, and almost instantly she guessed the identity of the demon in front of her.
After all, there are no other possibilities.
"Who are you?"
Instead of answering Bai Xi's question, he asked her a question in return.
The primordial demon's cold, hard face carried a majesty completely different from that of Safa. Although Safa was also a demon king and a superior being, their temperaments were very different.
Safa is more about evil, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty. However, if you get to know him, you will find that his true core is not like that at all; those are just disguises.
The true nature of Safa can even be described as...pure-hearted.
Naturally, his methods of suppressing hell were not as brutal as Bai Xi had imagined; on the contrary, he was quite reasonable.
The person before you now exudes genuine nobility from the very core of their being. Even their rhetorical question sounds like an unyielding command, one that you dare not refuse.
But that's other people; Bai Xi is full of rebellious spirit.
She simply pursed her lips, stood up from the ground, and casually brushed off non-existent dust from her skirt. Then, she crossed her arms and spoke to the primordial demon.
"Me? I'm the one who came to pick up the scraps after you died."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing.
She didn't think the demon in front of her posed any threat. Although it looked scary, it was just a paper tiger.
It might be possible to fool Xiaobai, but it's unrealistic to expect to fool her.
Her tone was disdainful, sounding almost like a provocation. The primordial demon clearly hadn't expected to be treated like this by Bai Xi, or rather, since his birth, no one had ever dared to treat him like this.
Even his mortal death was due to a loss to a black hole from a non-intelligent species.
The primordial demon's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal, though his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
How dare you?
He rebuked them angrily with a cold face.
Normally, he would have smashed this woman into mincemeat long ago, but now he had to patiently talk to her and try to threaten her to leave. It was an utter disgrace.
Having just had most of his remaining power plundered by an unknown entity, he really couldn't do anything to Bai Xi right now.
"Just kidding. You're going to die anyway, so don't cling to this little bit of primordial power. Hell is in complete chaos right now. You should hurry up and have two little ones to take over your job."
Bai Xi's tone was urgent. She didn't know what the Primal Demon was thinking, but she really needed the 'Demon of Time' and the 'Demon of Space'. If the remaining part of the Primal Demon was unwilling to give up the chance to be resurrected, then the two demons would never be born.
She was a little anxious, and her tone of voice was naturally not very polite.
To the ears of the primordial demon was an utter disgrace.
"You woman!"
He had never been so angry in his life; it was truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.
“I’m serious. The world is about to be destroyed. You have the courage to fight Tartarus. For the future of Hell, you should do it.”
Bai Xi gave very sincere advice.
Her words sounded like a joke, but when the primordial demon looked into her eyes, he clearly saw the seriousness in them. In an instant, his anger was completely extinguished, and his reason cooled down as well.
The demon is easily angered and irritable, but he is currently only a fragmented, irreversible part of the original demon. Moreover, even if he could return to his full strength, it has been proven that he would be no match for Tartarus.
He barely escaped death from the abyss rift, let alone be able to deal with it next time.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The primordial demon frowned and asked.
"Of course not. Although I'd like to explain from the beginning, I don't have much time left, and I believe you don't have much time left either. Why not trust me? Anyway, I don't need your power, and you won't lose anything."
Bai Xi shrugged. She was under the surveillance of the world consciousness, and the world consciousness knew everything she did.
Explaining everything in detail, even revealing her thoughts, would be like handing the enemy a target. It's better to use a flippant attitude to lower their guard.
Although this may be a futile effort.
After all, the world's consciousness is omnipresent, and Bai Xi has not yet found a way to block it.
However, the birth of the 'Demon of Time' and the 'Demon of the Void' is an inevitable historical event, and the world's consciousness will certainly not stop her current actions. It's just that other things... are hard to say.
Bai Xi thought she still needed to find a way to prevent the world's consciousness from monitoring her thoughts, ideas, and actions.
As she pondered this in her heart, subtle fluctuations arose in her mind.
Don't entertain any wishful thinking.
Bai Xi's expression suddenly turned cold. Sure enough, the test results showed that the world consciousness could indeed sense everything.
'That's right, so don't try to be clever. We've already made a contract, and you only have one ending.'
The cold, icy signals from the world's consciousness were transmitted directly into Bai Xi's head; no one else could hear them, only she herself knew.
Bai Xi lowered her eyes, a mocking smile curving her lips.
Is this what world consciousness is?
It plays dirty tricks, like a cunning old fox. I really suspect it has developed self-awareness and wants to become the 'local tyrant' of this world.
The world consciousness did not respond to her thought, but Bai Xi seemed to understand something.
Do you want to be an empress dowager who rules from behind the curtain?
That's wishful thinking.
On the other side, the primordial demon, watching Bai Xi's constantly changing expression, had a definite answer in his heart. As an old fellow who had been born since the beginning of creation, his ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood was terrifyingly strong. In other words, what Bai Xi said was not wrong; this was the most beneficial thing for Hell.
"Okay, I promise you."
The primordial demon responded to Bai Xi's request after only a moment's thought, much to Bai Xi's surprise at its efficiency.
She looked up in surprise, thinking she would have to explain herself, but it turned out to be so simple.
But... when she looked at the face of the primordial demon, she had an urge to cover her face. This primordial demon and Safa looked too alike, and she felt a strange sense of guilt.
