Let's go back to the present.

Zheng Xingguang held the faintly breathing girl in his arms and looked blankly at Bai Ziheng.

"Brother-in-law... what... do you mean?"

Bai Ziheng looked down at him.

"I went through a lot of trouble to get this, it's a one-time use item. If you want to save her, listen to me."

Zheng Xingguang was stunned.

"Then... then why did you want to fight me just now...?"

Bai Ziheng stared at him expressionlessly, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Because it wasn't me who wanted to save her, but you."

"If she's just a stray cat or dog you see anywhere on the street, and you're just having a moment of overreaction with her, then I don't need to take this risk."

"Once she dies, I'll just take the core."

"But it seems you really value her."

"So this is determined by your will, and has nothing to do with me."

His words were cold and ruthless, but Zheng Xingguang understood them.

He was testing himself.

It tests whether you are truly determined to save her, even if it means going against the whole world.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

original……

So, brother-in-law, you are...

Looking at Bai Ziheng's indifferent face, Zheng Xingguang was moved to tears once again.

So you're a really good person!

"Stop crying, you're acting like a woman."

Bai Ziheng frowned impatiently.

"Hurry, lay her down flat."

Zheng Xingguang quickly wiped away his tears and carefully laid the girl flat on the ground.

Bai Ziheng squatted down, raised his hand, and placed it on the girl's chest.

He closed his eyes and began to silently recite the lullaby that Qingyao had whispered in his ear while he was bathing.

"The path to the underworld is there, the Yellow Springs are the guide; I borrow your form to return your soul..."

As he chanted, the black snake tattoo coiled on his back actually came to life!

The black snake slithered down his back and up his arm, then slowly crawled up to the girl's body.

It flicked its tongue, wandering over the girl's body, and finally stopped at her chest.

Then he opened his mouth and took a big bite!

"Grab my hand! The core has been activated!"

Bai Ziheng suddenly grabbed Zheng Xingguang's wrist.

The next moment, Zheng Xingguang felt a tremendous force suck him in.

The world spun around.

When I opened my eyes again, it was pitch black all around.

There was nothing beneath my feet and nothing above my head; it felt as if I were at the end of the universe.

Bai Ziheng stood beside him.

"here it is……?"

"Deep within her consciousness."

Bai Ziheng explained.

"That core has been draining her life force, which is why she is so weak."

"Therefore, to solve the problem, we cannot simply forcibly remove the core. Doing so would cause her soul to be torn apart instantly, resulting in her immediate death, beyond the help of even a god."

"Then... what should we do?"

Bai Ziheng smiled and pointed ahead.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Zheng Xingguang looked in the direction he pointed and saw a huge black python descending from the sky in the distance.

It crashed onto the dark ground with a loud thud, barely clinging to life.

"Tsk, Qingyao's snake is such a weak fighter..."

Bai Ziheng frowned and looked up at the sky.

Zheng Xingguang subconsciously followed his gaze.

In the pitch-black sky, a woman was slowly descending.

She was dressed in white with long, flowing hair, exuding an ethereal beauty that seemed otherworldly.

But there was no emotion in those eyes, like two cold pieces of glass.

Luo Yao...

No, or rather, it is a fragment of Luo Yao's power of control.

She looked down at the two people on the ground and the giant black python.

He remained silent, his gaze as indifferent as if he were looking at a few ants.

Bai Ziheng took a deep breath, and his body began to change.

His body rapidly expanded in the darkness, his bones crackling and popping, and grayish-white hair grew wildly from under his skin.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant white wolf.

The white wolf turned its head, its golden wolf eyes looking at Zheng Xingguang.

"Now you know what to do, right?"

"Give her a good beating, then make her spit out all the life force she absorbed."

...

...

at the same time.

Luo Yao was nestled in the soft sofa, watching TV listlessly.

A melodramatic family drama is playing on the screen, with the female lead tearfully accusing the male lead of betrayal.

"Boring."

Luo Yao pursed her lips and casually changed the channel.

Just then.

She seemed to sense something, and her movements paused slightly.

That power comes from her very essence.

Luo Yao slowly stood up, barefoot, and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, as dusk slowly descends, the city lights twinkle like a galaxy.

She rested her chin on her hands, smiling as she gazed into the distance.

A hint of amusement flickered in those eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world.

"So you love meddling in other people's business, huh? But you'd better watch out this time."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of lazy laughter.

"My power of domination is the most, most, most ruthless of all powers."

"Even if it's just a fragment, it has inherited my purest arrogance and cruelty."

"If you're not careful, you really could die at her hands."

"But I believe in you, please... don't let me down."

...

...

Almost at the same time.

The headquarters of the China Special Administration Bureau, top-secret conference room.

An old man was sitting at the head of the table, holding two smooth walnuts in his hands.

It makes a soft "click-click" sound.

Suddenly, he stopped playing with the walnuts.

All the senior executives in the conference room, whether they were drinking tea or looking at documents, were present.

Almost simultaneously, they all raised their heads, their faces showing surprise and uncertainty.

"What's going on...?"

The old man frowned.

The secretary standing behind him reported with a solemn expression.

"Chief Inspector, we just detected that... the 'Domination Authority' stored in the core area of ​​headquarters is trembling violently, as if it has sensed some kind of resonance."

"Resonance?" The old man's eyes sharpened.

"Investigate! Investigate immediately! What is it that can trigger its reaction!"

...

...

And in that dark space of consciousness.

Luo Yao, dressed in white, slowly descended to the ground, her bare feet stepping on nothingness, her skirt fluttering without wind.

Her voice was cold and devoid of any human emotion, as if it came from a divine decree from the heavens.

"Mortal, why have you awakened me?"

When her gaze fell on Bai Ziheng and the dying black snake, she seemed to understand something.

"ah......."

A cruel and bloodthirsty smile slowly spread across her face.

"So that's how it is..."

That smile completely shattered her ethereal appearance.

All that remains is the most primal, purest arrogance and tyranny.

"That fool who doesn't know his own mortality..."
