The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Gu Ran was slightly confused.

"Your succubus ancestors left behind so many spatial artifacts? How did they acquire so many? Did they create them themselves?"

Lilith shook her head: "Of course not. Our succubus race doesn't have spatial abilities. It was a succubus general who fell in love with a spatial ability user. These spatial items were made for our succubus race by that spatial ability user."

Gu Ran's expression was somewhat strange.

The succubus general and the space-age ability user are in love, but is it really love?

Lilith seemed to see through Gu Ran's thoughts. She said with a half-smile, "As a human, you may find it hard to believe, but we succubi also have a concept of love and adhere to the principle of loyalty in love. Of course, only a few succubus generals are able to restrain their racial instincts and love only one partner in their lifetime."

"That generation of succubus generals was like that. Although she was a succubus, she fell in love with that generation of space ability users and was able to successfully suppress her racial instincts for the sake of him. That space ability user also settled in the Abyss for a long time. All the space tools I use were made by that space ability user."

This was content that Gu Ran had never seen in books, and he was quite amazed.

He really didn't know such a secret; it turns out that in the past, there was actually a succubus who fell in love with a space-age ability user from Suzaku City.

Wait a moment.

The spatial ability users settled in the abyss for a long time, leaving behind many spatial artifacts for the succubus race...

It sounds reasonable, but... something feels off.

"When did this happen?" Gu Ran asked, looking up.

“I’m not sure. We succubi don’t have a tradition of recording history. It was probably seven or eight hundred years ago,” Lilith replied.

Gu Ran couldn't help but frown: "Seven or eight hundred years ago, that long ago?"

"How many spatial artifacts did that spatial ability user leave you? It's been seven or eight hundred years and you still haven't used them all up?"

Lilith reacted with some surprise: "It did take a long time, but the spatial ability user left us with a lot of spatial items."

"There are so many that our succubus race has to build a special ruin to house these spatial items. Moreover, our succubus race doesn't usually use these spatial items. They are unnecessary in the Abyss, and we only use some when we leave the Abyss and come to the human world."

"After coming to the human world, we rarely need these items, because to become a succubus general, one's strength is already considerable. In addition, with the racial talents of our succubus race, ordinary people are reluctant to kill us, and even injure us."

At this point, Lilith looked at Gu Ran with a strange expression.

In her eyes, Gu Ran was a freak, and she was completely unmoved by her racial talent.

Little did she know that in Gu Ran's eyes, she was actually a freak.

A succubus actually likes to solve problems with violence.

If it weren't for his fighting prowess being able to subdue her, he probably wouldn't have been able to speak to her as an equal.

"I see." Gu Ran nodded slightly.

Many were left behind and few were used, so even after seven or eight hundred years, there are still a large number of spatial artifacts.

It sounds reasonable, but why did that spatial ability user leave so many spatial artifacts for the succubus race in the first place?

Gu Ran kept this question in mind for the time being.

Because he lacks a dantian and supernatural abilities, Gu Ran currently has no spiritual power to activate the necklace containing Xue Xiling.

However, Gu Ran's mental power had already fully recovered. He continued to resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through his mental power, and then used his mental power as a medium to introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the necklace to simulate spiritual power, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling spiritual power.

Lilith, who understood human cultivation, was immediately shocked upon seeing this scene.

"You actually... can use your magical power called telekinesis to draw upon spiritual energy and directly open spatial artifacts?"

However, she suddenly seemed to remember something and frowned slightly: "There is no spiritual energy flowing through your body. Oh, right, you said you had already transplanted the spatial ability crystal core to your sister."

"So you're not a space ability user at all, and you were lying to me about what you just said?"

Gu Ran sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said, "I've never said I'm a space ability user now, okay? Think about it carefully. I've always said I used to be a space ability user."

"Besides, although I am not a space ability user now, I can use these space tools to indirectly exert space abilities. And believe me, I am much better at using these space tools than you are."

Gu Ran was just examining the necklace on her hand.

If he can deconstruct the principle of this spatial artifact, there is a high probability that he will be able to use spatial abilities to a certain extent without a spatial ability crystal core.

Of course, the spatial abilities used are closely related to the spatial items used.

For example, if he uses the independent space necklace on his hand to use spatial abilities, then the abilities he uses are most likely related to independent space.

Lilith gave Gu Ran a suspicious look: "Are you even capable? Or should I go to Suzaku City to find your sister? Maybe she's more suitable than you?"

Immediately, Lilith received a cold look.

"Don't disturb her. If you show yourself near her, I'll kill you."

He wouldn't allow anyone with ill intentions to disturb his sister, who was already in a stable environment.

Seeing this from outside the screen, Gu Qingqing's eyes glistened with tears. Even at this moment, her brother still treated her like a younger sister.

so good.

293. Mutation! Is this the abyss? (4k)

Gu Ran's attitude surprised Lilith.

She was secretly annoyed.

Gu Ran made things difficult for her at every turn, and what was most infuriating was that she had absolutely no way to deal with him.

She could only keep this debt in her heart for the time being.

Lilith snorted and said, "It's fine if you don't let me bother Gu Qingqing, as long as you can successfully open Pandora's Box for me. Anyway, that's my goal. I don't care who does it."

Gu Ran said in a soothing tone, "Although I am no longer a space ability user, I can still use space abilities to a certain extent—as long as you provide me with sufficient space tools."

Moreover... my familiarity and understanding of spatial abilities are probably only comparable to Leng Feng's in this world.

Leng Feng, as a space ability user of the Vermilion Bird, has been famous for many years and is renowned.

Gu Ran actually said that only she could compare with him, not that he could compare with Leng Feng.

This places Leng Feng in the position of challenger, while elevating himself to a higher position.

If it were anyone else, Lilith would definitely think he was exaggerating, but for some reason, she trusted Gu Ran.

However, she still sneered, her tone laced with mockery: "Anyone can brag."

She wouldn't give Gu Ran a friendly look.

Gu Ran's words were actually a humble statement.

Leng Feng is able to compete with him only because she possesses the knowledge passed down from so many generations of space ability users.

However, when it comes to his own research and development of spatial abilities, Gu Ran is certain that ten Leng Fengs cannot compare to him.

Looking back now, even he himself was amazed by his ability to control and develop spatial abilities.

If it's knowledge left behind by previous space ability users, then Leng Feng might indeed be stronger than him, since that knowledge must be highly confidential, and he wouldn't be able to find it in books that circulate openly.

If you don't even know the specifics, you can't even talk about how well you've mastered it.

However, when it comes to the use and development of spatial abilities, Gu Ran is quite confident that he can leave Leng Feng far behind.

Pandora's Box has existed in the Abyss for countless years. If the space-age ability users of the past had figured out a way to open Pandora's Box...

So basically, it's not up to Lilith to figure out how to open it.

Therefore, it's highly likely that he can only figure out how to open Pandora's Box after going to the site to investigate.

Gu Ran asked, "Did you see Leng Feng in Vermilion Bird City?"

Lilith glanced at Gu Ran: "I've met her, but apart from her great strength, she didn't give me any special feeling."

Gu Ran understood, which further confirmed his suspicions.

Pandora's Box may not only require the power of spatial ability users, but more likely it requires the power of specific spatial ability users.

What's so special about his identity?

Is she the destined one?

After the series of events that followed, it was hard for Gu Ran not to connect this matter with the past.

Gu Ran thought for a moment and said, "I agree to go to the Abyss with you to help you open Pandora's Box, but I have to go back to Canglong City to take care of some things first."

Opening Pandora's Box wasn't just about helping Lilith; he's now also interested in it.

He wanted to verify his conjecture and see if Pandora's Box was indeed related to the destined person, as he thought.

He was heading into the abyss, and it was uncertain when he would be able to return, so he had to go back to Azure Dragon City to explain things.

In particular, we must eradicate the evil spirits that still reside in humans within Canglong City.

Otherwise, if he leaves for too long, something might happen.

Seeing the suspicion in Lilith's eyes, Gu Ran still took care of her feelings and explained, "Don't worry, if I really wanted to refuse you, I wouldn't need to play tricks. Besides, I'm also very interested in that Pandora's Box."

After Gu Ran reassured her once again, Lilith reluctantly nodded.

Although she wanted to return to the Abyss as soon as possible, ideally to open Pandora's Box right now and become truly free.

But she had no choice but to give in to Gu Ran.

She really has no way to deal with Gu Ran right now.

Seeing that Lilith agreed, Gu Ran put away the necklace. As he was about to head towards Canglong City, Lilith stopped him.
