Chapter 1386: Who Are You?
Sensing someone riding on its back, Bai Ze instinctively shook its head, trying to throw Lin Qiye off. However, Lin Qiye's hands gripped tight with no intention of letting go.
In the storm, the markings on Bai Ze's body surface gradually lit up, and the surging divine power burned Lin Qiye's hands. His brow furrowed tightly, black hair soaked by rain hung at his temples, and a hint of purple crept into his eyes!
【Tyrant's Wrath】!
The domineering royal pressure released from Bai Ze's back. Its body trembled slightly, and under the terrifying oppressive aura, its speed gradually slowed.
Bai Ze's blood-red eyes widened in fury, letting out a low roar as divine power continuously struck Lin Qiye on its back. Under the king's pressure, it struggled to break free, stubbornly continuing its charge toward the shore of Huaihai City!
As Bai Ze's limbs stepped across the void, the churning waters behind it resembled a tsunami, connecting with the gloomy sky as it swept toward the bustling urban district in an overwhelming wave.
Screams erupted from the streets as pedestrians began frantically fleeing in all directions!
Bai Ze's eyes burned red, seemingly searching for the infant's cry that had sounded moments ago. Just as it was about to burst into the city, a melodious song rang out from behind it!
"The windmill goes squeak squeak turning~~"
The moment this singing echoed across the sky, Bai Ze froze mid-air, stunned.
Not only Bai Ze, but Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and the others standing in the rain below, along with the numerous commanders watching from the valley, also stood frozen in place.
"Who's singing?"
Baili Pangpang stood in the rain, and since Lin Qiye and Bai Ze were positioned high above, he couldn't quite tell where the sound was coming from.
"...Seems like Qiye." An Qingyu pricked up her ears, carefully discerning the direction of the sound, and spoke uncertainly.
High in the sky, Lin Qiye gritted his teeth, struggling to maintain the musical rhythm and melody while continuing to sing:
"The scenery here is really beautiful~
The sky is beautiful~ The ground is beautiful~ And there are happy little companions playing together..."
In this eerie song, Bai Ze's blood-red eyes gradually became unfocused. Its emotions already out of control, and its mind shattered by the 【Tyrant's Wrath】, it felt a mysterious power surge from the song, beginning to control its body!
In full view of everyone, Bai Ze sharply veered in mid-air, carrying the towering waves behind it, and galloped straight toward a direction far from the city!
A streak of light crossed the horizon, and within it, the eerie singing echoed softly through the heavy rain.
"The windmill goes squeak squeak turning..."
Lin Qiye gripped Bai Ze's horns tightly with both hands to prevent himself from being thrown off by the excessive speed, while calmly beginning the second verse. Drops of sweat seeped from his forehead, mixing with the rain as they traced down his face.
No matter how unsettled its mind, Bai Ze remained a Divine Beast. The 【Soul Domination Melody】 could only control it for a very limited time. Lin Qiye had to, within the shortest possible time, move it as far away as possible, while also ensuring he didn't go off-key during the high-speed ride... This was a tremendous challenge for him!
Bai Ze's figure streaked across the horizon. At the edge of the horizon, pale cyan aurora hung down from the clouds, and beyond the aurora lay nothingness.
"The sky is beautiful~ The ground is beautiful~ And there are happy little companions playing together... pfft!"
Before Lin Qiye could finish singing, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Weariness he had never experienced before flickered in his eyes.
Bai Ze's soul broke free from his control. The powerful backlash directly struck Lin Qiye's mind. He felt a buzzing in his ears, and even his consciousness began to blur... Though 【Soul Domination Melody】 was powerful, the side effects of losing control were equally severe.
Bai Ze's scattered pupils gradually recovered. It gazed at the boundary gradually approaching before it and fell into momentary confusion... How did it end up here?
Lin Qiye clenched his teeth tightly, struggling to keep his consciousness clear, gripping Bai Ze's horns. A golden domain unfurled beneath him!
Bai Ze had already broken free from his control. If it charged back into the city, the only option left would be to kill it on the spot. Rather than that, he might as well make one last gamble!
With the 【Mortal Divine Realm】 unfurling, Lin Qiye forced his eyes open and looked ahead. The aurora shrouding the edge of Huaihai City gradually magnified before his eyes!
ROAR——!!
Within the golden domain, Bai Ze's blood-red eyes flickered with struggle. It let out a roar and, carrying Lin Qiye, plunged headfirst into the aurora!
A flash of light, and Lin Qiye and Bai Ze's figures vanished from this world in an instant.
Lin Qiye's consciousness fading, he felt everything around him suddenly sink into dead silence. The rain, Bai Ze, the cries of alarm from the city, the churning river water... everything rapidly receded.
He felt as if he had crashed into an incomparably soft sponge, his entire body relaxing. The hazy aurora flickered in his vision as his consciousness gradually fell into Chaos...
...
In endless darkness, Lin Qiye's consciousness continued to fall.
This profound soul-deep sense of weightlessness filled Lin Qiye with inexplicable unease, but strangely, he wasn't unfamiliar with it, as if he had experienced this before.
Pitch black, Chaos, void, everything empty around him. Lin Qiye felt a severe headache. He couldn't remember why he was here, nor did he know where he was heading...
Suddenly, a voice emerged from behind him:
"—Who are you?"
Lin Qiye's chaotic mind suddenly cleared. The weightless consciousness landed on the ground, stopping its descent. He turned sharply to look, and there stood a child of six or seven, frowning as he gazed at Lin Qiye.
Seeing that face so similar to his own, Lin Qiye was slightly stunned. This scene felt like it had occurred before.
"I'm..."
Before Lin Qiye could finish speaking, the child spoke again:
"—It's you again."
Those deep, lightless eyes fixed on Lin Qiye, like an abyss.
"You've... seen me before?" Lin Qiye shook his throbbing head, asking试探性地.
"You've been here before." The child paused. "But you shouldn't have come."
"Who are you?"
"—I am Lin Qiye."
These words struck Lin Qiye's ears like thunder. He stood dumbfounded for a long moment, speaking somewhat deliriously:
"You're Lin Qiye... then who am I?"
The child didn't answer. He simply stared quietly at Lin Qiye, about to say something when he squinted upward at the pitch-black void above.
"—You should go."
As the words fell, before Lin Qiye could grasp their meaning, his consciousness felt the pull of some force, beginning to drift upward again...
The chaotic, pitch-black world receded. The familiar pale cyan aurora brushed across his body. He felt the world spinning, and a ray of light rapidly magnified before his eyes!
