Manor.
In the room.
Xu Jian slowly opened his eyes.
Within his eyes, divine light flowed.
“Are you alright?”
His gaze fell on Ling Zhi.
Xu Jian reached out his hand and gently held her soft palm.
He could feel it and smell it.
The scent of fear emanating from Ling Zhi.
“Mm.”
Ling Zhi replied softly.
Her voice was trembling.
“What did you see?”
Xu Jian asked softly.
“The bystander, he’s dead.”
“He…”
With a trembling voice, Ling Zhi described everything she saw.
From the fleeing lightning, to when the bystander controlled Mr. Chou.
Everything had been going according to Ling Zhi’s predictions.
Until the token activated, and the thundercloud appeared.
The terrifying pressure not only imprisoned Ling Zhi’s consciousness, making her unable to leave the bystander’s mind.
But also made her Dharma Eye ineffective.
Originally, her Dharma Eye could directly see fate and all invisible things. But during the bystander’s escape, she could only watch helplessly as the thunderbolt approached relentlessly.
Until in the end,
The thunderbolt fell.
It wasn’t just the bystander who tasted the ultimate pain.
Even Ling Zhi’s consciousness felt the same agony.
In the end of her memory.
There was only that extremely hot and dazzling light in front of her eyes.
It felt as if she was being burned by a fierce fire.
As if being pierced through the heart by a thousand needles.
Even though Ling Zhi had now returned to her own body,
The pain still seemed to linger in her, making her body unable to stop trembling.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Looking at Ling Zhi like a frightened little bird, Xu Jian gently reached out and hugged her.
“I’m here.”
Gentle and firm words sounded in her ear.
Finally,
Her body gradually stopped trembling.
Ling Zhi’s breathing gradually became stable.
Xu Jian looked up.
He silently watched the view outside the window.
A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He spoke softly.
“The bystander will not die in vain.”
“We will repay everything they have done to us twice over.”
“Believe in me, I will do it—”
“No!!”
However,
Before Xu Jian could finish speaking,
Ling Zhi, whose emotions had been near stability, suddenly grabbed his hand.
“Xu Jian.”
“Let’s run.”
“No matter if it’s me or you, we still have time.”
“There’s no need to fight them hard.”
“The Holy Sect… and that man in the black robe, they’re not people we can mess with right now.”
“I don’t want you to be in danger!”
“Don’t be impulsive, okay?”
Thinking of that scene where the sky and earth changed colors, as if divine punishment descended on the world.
Fear once again climbed into Ling Zhi’s heart.
By the end,
She even seemed to be pleading a little.
It seemed she was completely frightened by Chen Sheng.
Listening to Ling Zhi’s plea,
Xu Jian fell silent.
Ling Zhi, on the other hand, kept her gaze on him, waiting quietly for an answer.
“Come.”
The silence didn’t last long.
As she looked at him with puzzled eyes, Xu Jian held Ling Zhi’s palm, and their feet touched the ground.
He led Ling Zhi, walking step by step towards the window.
As they walked,
His originally pale face gradually turned rosy.
In his eyes, it seemed as if divine light was flowing.
With her gaze always on Xu Jian’s face, Ling Zhi watched the divine light in his eyes, as if it held a great attraction.
Fear gradually dissipated.
Ling Zhi’s eyes became more focused.
She allowed Xu Jian to lead her, step by step, to the window.
“Look.”
Xu Jian raised his chin slightly.
Ling Zhi looked out the window.
What came into view was a clear sky, a vast manor, and diligent guards and servants.
This scene was no different from the usual days.
What did Xu Jian want her to see?
Ling Zhi looked puzzled.
But before she could ask,
The next second.
Darkness suddenly descended.
Boom boom boom—
Ling Zhi’s body shuddered violently.
The sound etched deep in her memory rang again.
As far as the eye could see,
The sky was covered by dark clouds.
Countless thunderbolts churned among the clouds, as if they could fall any moment.
The heavy rumbling sound was incessant, covering the screams of the manor’s staff.
Such a scene.
How eerily similar it was to what she had seen not long ago.
Ling Zhi instinctively felt fear.
She lifted her foot, intending to leave the window unconsciously.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Xu Jian gently squeezed her palm.
He smiled.
“Feel it carefully.”
Under his gaze,
The fear in her heart gradually subsided.
Ling Zhi activated her Dharma Eye and looked out the window.
A jade-like halo lit up in her eyes.
“This is…”
Ling Zhi looked astonished.
Under her Dharma Eye’s observation,
She could naturally see that the dark clouds in the sky were not real.
But rather, an illusion.
“I succeeded, Ling Zhi.”
Xu Jian smiled.
“Now, I am incomparably powerful.”
Illusion.
Space.
These were the two powers of authority Xu Jian possessed.
And the origin of his name.
Previously, his illusionary ability could create small-scale illusions or induce hallucinations for others.
It could be used to deceive people’s minds or disguise himself.
His spatial ability allowed him to manipulate space on a small scale and perform various oddities.
For instance, he could ignore any obstacles and directly cut through space, causing irreparable damage to his enemies.
Or, he could shrink space, greatly increasing his speed.
But now,
After his transformation,
Xu Jian’s two powers had ascended to a level close to that of the rules themselves.
In order to let Ling Zhi deeply feel his current strength,
Xu Jian decided to demonstrate his powers.
“Do you believe in me?”
He stared at Ling Zhi and asked gently.
“I will always believe.”
Without any hesitation, Ling Zhi nodded directly.
As her voice fell,
Xu Jian smiled slightly.
