This isn't a souls-like game at all.

It is through sharing experiences and feelings that

Therefore, intelligent beings can empathize with each other.

"Another technique that's not in the game."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"From the description, the effect of this technique should be to release one's own experiences and feelings, so that others can also feel these feelings."

Simply put, you have eaten a very delicious dish, and your friend happened to have eaten this dish and also thought it was very delicious.

So you share your experience and feelings of eating this dish with him, and then get your friend's recognition, or empathy.

Of course, the point of this technique is not to make others empathize, but to focus on sharing experiences and feelings.

Because some experiences and feelings are impossible to empathize with.

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi silently looked at the thin and slender back of the girl walking in front of him.

For example, the ten thousand years the witch had lived, the disasters and despair she had experienced, the pain she had endured, the numbness she had developed from the separation of life, the disgust she felt for her own lingering existence, the hatred and murderous intent she had for her father, the Lord of Life and Death...

This is the true nature that the witch releases through true liberation.

That's why Adam and the knights fainted, and Norsley, who was dead and had no empathy, remained indifferent.

It was those things that made Ye Yiyi lose control of his body.

It is impossible for ordinary people to endure the experience and feelings that are like being on the edge of the abyss.

Because ordinary people cannot live beyond ten thousand years, but Ye Yiyi, who has the same immortality as the witch and can use infinite life to forcibly survive these ten thousand years, can do it.

In other words, Ye Yiyi and the witch are truly the same kind of people.

The only difference is that the witch has already completed these ten thousand years, while Ye Yiyi’s ten thousand years have just begun.

He stared at the girl's back for a long time, until she walked through the silent and deserted town and stopped in the garden of a luxurious mansion. Finally, she stood in front of a holy monument standing in the center of white flowers. When she turned and looked at him, he slowly spoke.

"teacher……"

"What?"

The girl looked at him warily, then pointed at the holy monument beside her.

"I've brought you the holy tablet you requested. It's too late to beg for mercy now! Just accept your punishment!"

Ye Yiyi shook his head but said nothing. He just changed the newly acquired magic at the holy monument. Then, in the surprised eyes of the girl who was rubbing her hands in preparation, he raised his left hand and released the true liberation.

"You... really learned it?"

She stared blankly at Ye Yiyi who was emitting a certain aura, and was about to ask him suspiciously if he had known it before his death and was using it to deceive her.

Then, feeling the true nature released by Ye Yiyi, he suddenly fell silent again.

"You guy..."

The witch raised her head, her light red eyes staring at him, revealing a hint of inexplicable emotion.

"You're kind-hearted, but I don't need you to avenge me..."

Chapter 402 [Deep Guardian: Knight Demon Soul]

"You're kind-hearted, but I don't need you to avenge me..."

Ye Yiyi put down his left hand somewhat perplexedly, ending the spell, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Uh, that's not what I meant. What...teacher?"

"That's not what you meant? Could it be that I was wrong?"

The witch looked up expressionlessly, "In the true nature you released, I can't sense any experiences or feelings, only thoughts.

"I understand that it was your response to the authenticity I exuded earlier, and it was a completely subconscious action.

"Yet you seek to kill the king who has brought me to this state, to kill my father, my hated enemy, the Lord of Life and Death.

"I'm glad you think this way, but..."

"Teacher, are you thinking too much?" Ye Yiyi interrupted her with a strange expression.

"?"

The witch's expression froze. She looked up at Ye Yiyi, then turned her head and stretched out her ears.

"What did you say just now? I don't think I heard it clearly."

"Teacher, you seem to be overthinking it and being a bit self-indulgent."

"???"

The witch suddenly widened her eyes and opened her mouth, looking at Ye Yiqun in disbelief, as if she didn't expect that he would dare to speak to her like that.

"Traitor! How dare you speak to your master like that!"

The witch was furious. She rolled up her non-existent sleeves and strode towards Ye Yiyi with big strides.

"It seems that your first lesson is to teach you how to respect your teachers!!"

"But the problem is..."

Ye Yiyi stood calmly in place, staring straight at the menacing witch without dodging her gaze, and then spoke:

"But the problem is... even if I had never met the teacher, the Lord of Life and Death would have died at my hands."

The witch stopped abruptly.

Ye Yiyi looked down at the girl's strange and surprised expression and sighed slightly:

“Teacher, please don’t forget that I am the name seeker, the unknown hero who has returned from death.

"My destiny, or rather my destined mission, is to eliminate all enemies who prevent me from reaching the Temple of Kings and from removing the curse of the primordial stagnation.

"Your father, the Lord of Life and Death... is just one of them."

"you……"

The witch raised her head and stared blankly at Ye Yiyi, who had a serious expression. She was stunned for a long time before she slapped her thigh and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha I can't help it, haha, you guys, are you really not seriously trying to make me laugh?

"You can't even withstand the oppression of my true nature, and you still want to face the original stagnation curse?"

The witch rubbed her stiff cheeks with her hands, then came over and patted Ye Yiyi's shoulder.

“I have to say, you have a big dream!

“But unfortunately, that’s not very realistic.

"Since you have become my apprentice, please put aside your duties as a name seeker."

"How can that be?" Ye Yiyi shook her head.

"why not?"

The witch restrained her smile and stared at him with a serious expression.

“I am the daughter of the Lord of Life and Death. I know the terror of the king much better than you do.

"As enemies, they are unimaginably terrifying. Their numbers are just cold, meaningless numbers.

“Even a disaster that destroyed all life on the planet would not affect them who are so high and above.

"Even powerful as the Supreme God, he was ultimately defeated by the kings.

"And you are just an ordinary person, how dare you say that you can kill the king with your human body?

“I don’t understand why the Creator of Heaven resurrected the Name Seeker, but in my opinion, this war that has lasted for ten thousand years and has never ended is just a game between kings.

"Whether it's the Name Seekers or those lingering Curse Controllers, they are all mere pawns in the game between kings.

"Chess pieces cannot control their own destiny; they can only eat or be eaten. As chess players, the kings will never care about the chess pieces' thoughts.

"Because the only one who can fight against a king is another king."

Having said this, the witch looked at Ye Yiyi who was silent, slowed down her tone, and comforted softly:

"Ye Yiyi, my only disciple, can you understand what I mean?"

"I see."

Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

“…But I still want to try.”

The smile on the witch's face suddenly stopped before it was fully revealed.

He took out the two magic books from behind him and handed them to the silent witch.

"So I won't go directly to the Kings to cause trouble, even if I know where they are now...

"So now I need strength, strength that can help me defeat the king and break the original stagnation curse.

"So I will move forward step by step, from weak to strong, defeat all my enemies, and then plunder their power and turn it into food, making me even stronger, until I can defeat the king."

Ye Yiyi handed the book in her hand forward.

"Teacher, I hope you can help me."

"..."

The witch said nothing, nor did she reach out her hand. She just lowered her eyes and stared at the two books.

A book with a pitch-black cover, badly tattered, and inexplicably familiar in appearance. One could also sense the breath of deep darkness. It should be a book that she had unfortunately lost when she was studying the cursed in the Deep Depression.

The other one was equally tattered in appearance and could not even be considered a book. It was just a tattered parchment scroll.

The scent emanating from the parchment scroll should be something from that group of rigid old tree men.

Do you think you can use this alone to fight against the king?

The witch shook her head slightly in her heart, looked at Ye Yiyi who was keeping her head down and silent, and suddenly spoke.

"What if... I'm unwilling to help you?"

"Then I can only find other teachers who are willing to teach me magic." Ye Yiyi answered softly.

"Of course, I still respect you, not because you are the king's daughter, but because you are my magic teacher."

"Alas... But if I don't teach you magic, what right do I have to call myself your magic teacher?"

The witch sighed helplessly.

"You're really paranoid, Ye Yiyi, exactly like my father... Of course, if he weren't so paranoid, he wouldn't have become king...

"But I'm also looking forward to seeing how far you, who are equally paranoid, can go.

"I will help you. After all, you are my recognized apprentice."

She reached out and took the two books from Ye Yiyi's hands, then rolled her eyes at Ye Yiyi who finally smiled.

"But don't be too happy too soon, I've said it before, but I'll say it again.

"Although I've never taught an apprentice, I believe in the principle that strict teachers produce excellent students, so don't expect me to be lenient in teaching!"

The witch pursed her lips, raised her snow-white chin towards him, and raised the magic book in her hand.

"I won't let you leave here until you learn the magic here. You'd better be mentally prepared!"

"Do not worry."

Ye Yiyi curled up the corners of his mouth, his eyes swept across the echoes of 20,000 souls on the simplified light curtain, as well as the various sources of curses stored in the four-dimensional chrysanthemum, and his heart was greatly relieved.

"I will let you know what a true genius is!"

"is it?"

Recalling the true liberation that Ye Yiyi had performed before, the witch inexplicably curled up the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile full of madness.

"How shameless! Then let me see a little of the talent of a so-called genius.

"Love! Disciple!"

A day later, Ye Yiyi carried the Moonlight Gun, whistled contentedly, and walked out of the mansion gate.

Looking up at the dark night sky filled with stars, he waved and greeted Wu Shanzuo who was tidying the land in the garden.

"Good morning, Wu Shanzuo. How are Adam and the others? Are they still unconscious?"
