Forced into a corner
It was Qin Xiao's first time being forced into such a situation.
In the past, no matter how desperate or dangerous the situation was, it was just him alone.
If he were to face it alone, he would have nothing to worry about. He would be able to do whatever he wanted without any worries.
But it was different this time. The lives of everyone in the Source World were at stake. Qin Xiao's heart was in his hands.
This was his lifeline!
Shi Jian said coldly, "Master of the Mountains and Rivers, I've followed you for nearly a million years. I know your character very well.
So you don't have to worry. We won't really force you into a corner.
What we want is the life of your true body. We won't touch your clone, nor will we ask you to betray the God Realm.
If we ask you to kill both your true body and clone, you definitely won't agree. If we ask you to betray the God Realm and go against your principles, you definitely won't agree.
But I think that as long as it's your true body's life, you'll agree, right?
If we want your true body's life, we'll only stop you from going to the Land of Reincarnation and stop you from becoming the Controller of the Six Paths. That's all we want. "
Wanting Qin Xiao's true body's life was quite ruthless.
Indeed, if Qin Xiao's true body died, then Qin Xiao wouldn't have the energy to go to the Land of Reincarnation. His path of cultivation would be severely damaged, and there would be no hope for him to become the Controller of the Six Paths.
In this way, Qin Xiao, a potential threat, would basically be eliminated.
One had to admit that this move was too ruthless.
Wanting his true body's life? Qin Xiao sneered in his heart.
If he lost his true body, it would be the same as losing all four of his limbs. He would only be left with a clone. This loss was too great.
If it was just a clone, then he could grit his teeth and bear it.
No one would be able to bear the loss of his true body.
Qin Xiao also thought of many ways to save him. Asking Senior Su Baichuan to help? He didn't have much confidence.
Even Jing Yang might not be able to save him in time.
He might be able to save the others, but Gu Lingyue might not be able to survive.
Gu Lingyue was the unspeakable wound in Qin Xiao's heart.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Qin Xiao did not dare to act rashly.
No matter how ruthless he was, he could only endure it.
"Do you really think that I will obediently submit?" Qin Xiao's voice was extremely cold.
Shi Jian nodded confidently, "That's right. You'll do as we say because we know you."
"I've followed you for a million years, and I understand your character. You can turn your back on the world, but you will never turn your back on your family, friends, and the woman you love. "
"I know that universe masters can resurrect ordinary godly spirits," said Luo Feng. "Even the dead can be resurrected."
"Therefore, perhaps you don't have to worry about the lives of others in other origin worlds."
"But you can't disregard the life of your beloved woman, Gu Lingyue. You should know her fate. If she dies, you won't be able to revive her. "
"Of course, unless you become a Celestial Venerable. It's not completely impossible, but the possibility is very small. "
"It's because we know this that we only want the life of your original body. We don't want to destroy both your original body and other bodies, and we don't want to completely ruin your life. We know that if we really force you into a dead end, you will definitely fight back. Then it will be meaningless. "
"Taking your original body's life and cutting off your path of retreat, this is also a good method."
"Using the life of your original body to exchange for Gu Lingyue's life. I believe that you will agree to this deal, right?"
Kacha!
Qin Xiao clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked. His anger was extremely deep.
Indeed, Qin Xiao had a way to resurrect the others. Universe masters had the ability to resurrect ordinary godly spirits. Unless they reached the level of great beings and transcended the river of time, there was no way to resurrect them.
Therefore, Qin Xiao actually had a way to resurrect the people who died in the origin world.
However, Qin Xiao couldn't do it with Gu Lingyue. If he could resurrect Gu Lingyue in this way, Qin Xiao would have personally killed her and resurrected her.
But there was no way to do it.
Now that Shi Jian had Gu Lingyue's life in his hands, he was sure that Qin Xiao wouldn't be able to resolve this matter at all.
"Since you know that Celestial Venerables can resurrect all the dead, even great beings and great beings can be resurrected. Are you so sure that I will obediently submit? "
"Are you sure that you have me under your control? Doesn't Qin Xiao have the ambition to become a Celestial Venerable?"
Qin Xiao said coldly again.
As long as he could become a Celestial Venerable, there was no need to say anything more. Everything could be resolved.
There was nothing in this universe that a Celestial Venerable couldn't resolve.
Shi Jian sneered and said, "Mountain River Master, we've always known that you have the ambition to become a Celestial Venerable. However, it's undeniable that the chances of becoming a Celestial Venerable are very slim. You should also know that.
"Celestial Court Master is also an outstanding figure of his generation. However, after working hard for an entire universe era, he still can't take that step and is still trapped in the realm of Universe Master.
"No matter how outstanding you are, how confident are you that you can become a Celestial Venerable?
"Besides, we won't give you the time and opportunity to become a Celestial Venerable. Do you think it's possible?"
Yes, it was too difficult to become a Celestial Venerable.
Speaking of confidence, who would have the confidence?
Qin Xiao could only try his best to move in this direction.
However, time waited for no man. There was no time for him to cultivate at all.
Under such circumstances, the chances were even slimmer.
It was extremely heaven-defying to use an entire universe era to become a Celestial Venerable, not to mention that Qin Xiao had only lived for less than a million years.
It was impossible for him to become a Celestial Venerable in such a short period of time.
Qin Xiao looked at Shi Jian coldly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "So you're saying that you've got me?"
"Yes, you can put it that way." Shi Jian did not avoid the topic and spoke frankly.
On the other side, in the endless Dark Ocean.
Master of Eros had a mocking smile on his face. He was also provoking Qin Xiao and taking the opportunity to humiliate Qin Xiao.
"What do you think, Mountain River Master? Do you still want to struggle?" Master of Eros had a mocking look on his face. He was very satisfied now.
Qin Xiao looked at Master of Eros coldly. To be honest, Qin Xiao really wanted to kill Master of Eros now.
"Lord of Ero, there are times when I am truly impressed by your methods. In order to set up your chess pieces, you're willing to do anything. "
"I always thought that my side was very clean. After all, the people I trusted the most were brought out from my Origin World. Besides, my Origin World is now completely sealed. Even I can't go back, and your power can't seep into my Origin World either. "
"Theoretically speaking, my origin world should be absolutely safe. However, I didn't expect you to have already set up such an important chess piece around me. You've directly grabbed my lifeline. "
"I really have to admire you. This move of yours is really ruthless."
"Hahaha!!!" Master of Eros laughed heartily, and with a proud look, he said, "Just like what you said, fate makes fools of people."
"Sometimes, it's just like that. Unintentionally planted willows and lush trees grow. We've been operating in the Primordial Universe for more than half a universe era. After such a long period of time, we've naturally set up many chess pieces. "
"Some have been passed down from generation to generation, and some have been set up in the recent 100 billion years. The more we've set up, the more ingenious we'll be. "
"This chess piece, Shi Jian, is just an ingenious plan."
"However, it's useless to say this now. Now that your lifeline is in our hands, you'd better think about whether to agree to our terms."
"You know us, and we know you. We're all in this position, so there's no need to play any tricks. Otherwise, I'm afraid the consequences won't be what you want to see. "
"Therefore, let's be more direct."
"Mountain River Lord, do you agree to our terms or not?"
The Lord of Ero was also making his final attempt to force the abdication.
Should he agree or not?
Could he not agree?
Gu Lingyue's life was in their hands. How could Qin Xiao not agree?
At this moment, images flashed through Qin Xiao's mind.
He still clearly remembered the scene when he first met Gu Lingyue. He still clearly remembered the scene when he was with Gu Lingyue.
It was simple but heartwarming.
He also clearly remembered the scene when Gu Lingyue was implanted with the Dream of the Eternity Poison.
Every scene was vividly engraved in Qin Xiao's mind.
Qin Xiao felt that he owed Gu Lingyue the most in his life.
Therefore, he would not hesitate to exchange his life for Gu Lingyue's.
This was a kind of debt, but also a kind of love.
Therefore, no matter what, Qin Xiao would never allow anyone to hurt Gu Lingyue.
Gu Lingyue's life was more important than his own.
Qin Xiao knew very well that the Lord of Ero and the others were certain of this, which was why they had come to threaten him in such a way. Moreover, they were fearless and acted as if victory was within their grasp.
Qin Xiao struggled inwardly for a while, but in the end, he could only grit his teeth.
"I can agree to your terms, but how can you guarantee that you can make me feel at ease?" he said in a cold voice.
"Master of Eros, you said it yourself. At our level, no one is a fool, so there's no need to play any tricks."
"You should know what I care about the most. How can you guarantee me?"
"Don't say useless words to me. I don't trust you at all."
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Master of Eros's smile deepened. "Since we're talking about terms, mutual trust is naturally the foundation."
"We've achieved our goal by killing your original body. Naturally, we won't make things difficult for you anymore."
"However, Shi Jian's original body is still in the Source World, so you definitely won't feel at ease. That's fine. As long as your original body dies, I'll immediately order Shi Jian's original body to return your woman to you. You can let someone you trust take care of her, and then let Shi Jian leave the Source World to self-destruct. "
"Once Shi Jian's original body dies, you'll be completely at ease, right?"
Qin Xiao remained silent and did not speak for a while. He was also thinking about this in his heart.
Master of Eros continued. "This is our greatest sincerity. Your doppelganger is still here, and only your original body dies. We won't do anything stupid. If we really push you too far, you'll do whatever it takes. We know this very well, so it doesn't mean anything. "
