"Finally...it's finally done!!"
In a mountain range within the Central Abyss Realm, thousands of meters underground, a figure slowly paced.
Suddenly, she started laughing wildly.
"Finally, it's done! Hahaha, it's finally a success!!"
Her body trembled with excitement.
This is a woman, but apart from her long hair, she no longer has many features that define a woman.
Her body was so thin that only a thin layer of skin remained, clinging tightly to her bones, as if a gentle breeze could blow her away.
The skin had lost all its vitality and energy, appearing as a corpse-like grayish-white, without any luster and exuding a putrid smell.
Her face was extremely haggard, but her eyes shone with an undisguised excitement.
"Yun Si Ning, Lin You You, hahahaha~~~"
She laughed again, like a madwoman having a fit of madness.
"You destroyed my clone and stole my authority, so be prepared for what's to come."
Due to excessive excitement, the veins on the woman's forehead bulged.
Inside this small, secluded room, two people stood quietly in a corner.
Both of them were as still as mannequins, but otherwise they were no different from ordinary people.
There was absolutely nothing unusual about his heartbeat, breathing, meridians, or dantian.
The withered woman raised her hand, looking at the power gathering on it. She clenched her fists, and a faint rumbling sound echoed in the surrounding space.
Suddenly, her expression froze.
The next moment, a blood-red shadow appeared out of thin air like a ghost in the void.
"Who is it?!"
The woman instinctively took a step back.
At the same time, the two standing figures seemed to come to life suddenly, instantly transforming into two streaks of light that arrived in front of her, tightly protecting the woman.
"Don't be nervous..."
As the crimson light gathered, an eye slowly coalesced.
Looking at the blood-red eyes in the sky, the mysterious man narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Who are you...?"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to know me."
It was that same deep, resonant voice; if Yun Si Ning were here, she would definitely recognize him at a glance.
"Oh."
The mysterious man chuckled dismissively.
"Who wouldn't know your name, Geng Di?"
"For nearly half of the more than seven thousand years of the Dalong Dynasty, your presence was felt."
"Oh, there's probably more than that. There must be many things I don't know."
Upon hearing this, a brief silence fell over the room, and the crimson eyes in mid-air were fixed on the mysterious man's face.
After a long silence, Geng Di spoke again.
"I'm very curious about your identity, how do you know so many things?"
The mysterious person did not answer, but instead asked the other party a question.
"I also want to ask you, how did you find this place?"
"It was indeed hard to find here; it took me quite a while to find it."
"So, Grand Steward, what brings you here to see me?"
Geng Di didn't speak immediately, but instead looked her over a few more times.
"I'm having some doubts now, and I don't know if I should still cooperate with you."
"Cooperate with me?"
The mysterious man seemed somewhat surprised.
"Are you kidding me? My purpose is different from yours..."
"There is no conflict."
Geng Di interrupted her first.
"You may not understand the purpose of all this, but what I do does not conflict with your desire to achieve."
“We can definitely cooperate, if you’re willing.”
He added.
The mysterious man pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something.
"I understand. Your current power shouldn't be over-projected. You probably can't even do the most basic transmission of desire."
You're right.
Geng Di said quite frankly.
"I can hardly influence the real world right now, but my men have already arrived here, and my revival is not far off."
"Heh~~"
The mysterious man let out another cold laugh.
"Don't think I don't know that your useless underlings were just killed by that little girl from Jianping Mountain."
"oh?"
There was an indescribable meaning in Geng Di's voice.
"You're very well-informed."
"It's alright, mainly because it has a lot of clones."
The mysterious man casually shrugged.
"You know all this, so it must feel bad to watch your own clone be killed by someone else and your divine authority be taken away by someone else."
The mysterious man unconsciously clenched his fists.
What exactly are you trying to say?
She stared into the crimson eyes, while the two beside her were ready to strike at any moment.
"Don't be hasty, I'm not here to cause trouble."
Geng Di's tone softened.
"I really hope to discuss cooperation with you. At the very least, we now have a common enemy."
"Alright then."
The mysterious man tilted his chin up.
"I can help you, but what price are you willing to pay?"
What do you want?
“It’s simple. Don’t you still have two subordinates who have come to the real world? Hand over their divine authority to me.”
The mysterious man spoke without hesitation.
"If you can agree to this, I can consider cooperating with you."
