The clone Ming Xu, who held part of Yug Sothoth's authority, had the power of a player above Level-9, and wielded a terrifying halberd, did not take the young man in front of her seriously.
She had heard from the Nameless Fog about the entanglement between her original body and the young man, but she did not care.
In her mind, she was the Adorer who served the Nameless Fog. She could completely replace this young man to walk in the human world for him and search for the truth.
He had no reason to live, and he was not qualified to be her new master!
Li Xiang only felt that it was very difficult to fight against her.
The clone Ming Xu's fighting style was completely different from Ming Xu's. In his memory, Ming Xu was an assassin who walked in the shadows, pursuing the ultimate attack and killing with one blow. After obtaining part of the authority of the Mother Goddess, her concealment and tracking ability had reached the peak. Combined with the abilities of countless disasters, she could complete an assassination in an instant.
When fighting against Ming Xu, one had to be constantly on guard against a sudden bullet, as one of the bullets could take one's life.
However, the clone Ming Xu's attacking style had changed drastically. She pursued head-on collision and hand-to-hand combat. The halberd in her hand was also a divine weapon for close combat, and the divine evolution of her body made her fearless of any magic. Relying on this incredible immunity, the clone Ming Xu continued to fight hand-to-hand with him. Her strength and speed were even better than his.
She also held part of Yug Sothoth's authority. Her omniscience and omnipotence were reflected in combat premonition and danger warning in battle. She could effectively avoid Li Xiang's hidden killer moves and guess his attack methods and tactics in advance.
This was simply cheating.
The clone Ming Xu waved the halberd in her hand. It had an extremely strong penetrating ability, and all kinds of light flew out with a clanging sound. Its destructive power was terrifying.
She had shoulder-length hair, pure black and beautiful. Her whole person was like a goddess of war surrounded by divine chains of order. She was extraordinary and insufferably arrogant.
"If that's all you've got, then leave the Executor mission to me." Replica Ming Xu's voice was indifferent. He pulled away from Li Xiang and gripped the heavy and simple halberd. His eyes were filled with disdain and vigilance. "I am not the person you know, nor will I be her. However, I will become her."
"Be her. Why don't you go and be yourself? You have the exact same appearance and figure as her, and you were even molded to be the same as her inside and out. You enjoy everything that her body brings to you, but you hate the fact that you can only be her shadow. Even your consciousness is formed from a part of her. Your life is just a trajectory that was fabricated out of thin air without me, "Li Xiang said word by word, each and every one of his words striking at the heart, speaking out the thoughts of his clone Ming Xu.
Her expression changed, and the hand holding the halberd began to tremble slightly.
"Do you think that by replacing Ming Xu and becoming her, you can become Ming Xu? No. In my opinion, you are you, and she is her. I have never mixed the two of you together. I fought with you only to abide by my agreement with her, not for that mission, nor to become your master. "
Li Xiang shrugged. Looking at this seemingly right but actually wrong Ming Xu, his heart was filled with endless emotions, but he also saw through himself even more clearly.
He loved the person Ming Xu, not this body.
Therefore, in Li Xiang's eyes, the clone Ming Xu, who had the same appearance, figure, voice, and even many of the same thoughts as her, was also a completely different person, completely unrelated to Ming Xu.
Replica Ming Xu bit her lips and snorted coldly. Her expression became more and more unnatural. She could feel a little bit of needle-like coldness from Li Xiang's body. It was not obvious, but it revealed the truth. Everything he said was true.
This kind of coldness gradually invaded her body, causing her to become somewhat numb and unable to move.
This was a true domain that had not been restrained or suppressed.
Li Xiang's domain had two special abilities. The first was to expel and nullify other people's domains. The second was absolute suppression. As long as there was not a huge difference in strength between him and his opponent, any opponent who fell into his complete domain would be suppressed to a certain extent.
Many times, in a battle of the highest level, a small difference could determine victory or defeat.
Replica Ming Xu narrowed her eyes, and the coldness became even more intense. Her Invulnerability was completely ineffective against this kind of domain's suppression.
This meant that when this domain spread out and was completely used, it was enough to rival the aura of the Tri-Origin Pillar God.
She knew that from this moment on, her opponent was serious.
"I want to leave here and return to the Seven Continents. I don't have much time to waste here with you." Li Xiang had the Heaven of Annihilation in one hand and the Eternal Purgatory in the other. After reaching Level 9, his magic runes and assassination tattoos had completely merged with his body, becoming a part of his body's strength.
With a raise of his hand, he could mobilize Origin Form Particles and wantonly evolve them into all kinds of magic particles to carry out multi-dimensional attacks.
After figuring out replica Ming Xu's fighting style and abilities, he no longer held back and attacked with all his strength!
A powerful killing intent emanated from his body. His body burned like a furnace, and a golden aura surged out endlessly, turning into a dazzling light.
"Kill!"
A moment later, replica Ming Xu attacked first. If she continued to stay here, once Li Xiang's domain completely spread out, she would be suppressed to Level 9. At that time, her only advantage would be lost, and what awaited her would be defeat.
She had to seize the final moment and kill Li Xiang before the suppression was strong enough.
The sky was illuminated as the halberd and the dark red sword collided, destroying the domains of the other adherents. The light drowned out everything.
That scene was too terrifying. A space-time tunnel suddenly appeared, then collapsed one by one, turning into nothingness.
Large black cracks intersected and spread into the Endless Abyss. The black fog on the side was also constantly stirred and mixed.
The two of them fought at close range. The halberd and the Eternal Purgatory seemed to have developed their own consciousness, flying to one side and fighting on their own. As for the clashing replicas Ming Xu and Li Xiang, it was as if they were fighting in the sky. Punches and kicks shook space-time, distorting it. Rays of light suddenly appeared and shattered.
They quickly tangled together and fought fiercely. Li Xiang constantly switched between the four forms of the Paradise of Annihilation — blue, red, black, and white. Every attack was frighteningly powerful, but replica Ming Xu always dodged them with his terrifying physique.
However, in the final white form, although the spear techniques would be broken by immunity, the power of the laws within had successfully invaded her body.
Inside the black fog, Yug Sothoth quietly watched the battle that he had expected, but whose outcome was bound to be out of his expectations.
He knew Li Xiang's combat power very well, and he knew his actions in the Land of Eternity like the back of his hand.
This young man's past was like a fog. When he finished the Unified Admission Exam and set foot on the road to the Polar night training camp, the rope of fate was broken.
Yug Sothoth could see the threads of karma and fate entwined on everything. These ropes represented the beginning and end of everything. Everything had a fixed number, and only he could see and control it.
Not only the human world, but also the human players, the calamities, and the creatures of other worlds. As long as there were threads of karma and fate, they could not escape his omniscience and control.
He could manipulate the fates of those living beings like puppets, but to him, this was not something worth doing at all.
Interestingly, when it came to the human world, there were two people whose fates he could not control.
One was Li Xiang, and the other was Bai Lili.
And the only existence that could affect Yug Sothoth was the Lord of All Things.
The creation of the clone Ming Xu was the last step for him to confirm Li Xiang.
He knew everything about Li Xiang and saw the past he had experienced through his own eyes. However, the threads of karma and fate were all broken the moment he set foot on the Polar night training camp.
No one could truly control his fate, except for the Lord of All Things.
In this case, he created the clone Ming Xu and deliberately made her stronger than Li Xiang. In the end, if nothing unexpected happened, Li Xiang would be killed.
But he clearly knew that Li Xiang would win.
This seemingly contradictory situation allowed Yug Sothoth to take a little glimpse of the ability of the Lord of All Things.
If Li Xiang was killed, then everything before would be meaningless. He could put his focus back on Bai Lili and let Shub-Niggurath do whatever she wanted. After all, he did not have any time cost.
Soon, he witnessed another deviation in the trajectory of fate.
In other words, in front of Li Xiang, all fates and wheels of time were uncertain. As long as it involved him, there was no conclusion or real ending.
The clone Ming Xu was blasted away. The pure white light beam symbolized the power of time and space. It pierced through her immunity, proving that she was not really invulnerable.
On the other side, the halberd formed by Yug Sothoth's authority was also swallowed by the endless hellfire transformed by the Eternal Purgatory. It burned and fell from the sky, came to her side, and plunged deep into the ground.
The clone Ming Xu knelt on one knee with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. If Li Xiang had not held back at the last moment, his dark golden aura of origin could have directly torn her body and sent her back to Yug Sothoth's side.
Li Xiang also landed and quietly looked at the clone Ming Xu, whose body was constantly fluctuating violently. He could not bear to see it and sighed.
After all, that was Ming Xu's face and voice. Looking at her, he could not help but recall the girl he loved deeply. Even though he knew it was not her, he could not do it.
This was the difference between divinity and humanity. It was a strange feeling that Yug Sothoth could not understand.
Feelings and emotions were low-level concepts to him. He did not need to have or understand them, but they were the most precious things to Li Xiang.
The clone Ming Xu did not have these human emotions. She looked at Li Xiang with some surprise. From the power he showed, he did not need her to accompany him to deal with Bai Lili, nor did he need her help.
If he killed her, she could also return to the embrace of the nameless fog smoothly.
He clearly said that he did not need her help and did not want to be her master. Then why did he not kill her who had failed?
If he had lost, she would definitely kill him without hesitation.
The clone Ming Xu could not understand. She could not see through this young man at all.
"Congratulations, from the moment you defeated her, she will serve you as your new master and follow you to fulfill our agreement. She will be my eyes and watch you. Of course, she will no longer have any of my aura on her body. This is a respect for you and also a reward. Her soul has a wisp of that little girl's aura. I think you will like her. "
Yug Sothoth's voice came.
Li Xiang now understood the cause and effect of the matter.
From the beginning, this ancient god who held the authority of wisdom and knowledge was on the same side as the other two.
He, the Mother Goddess of All Things, and the Origin of Darkness all wanted to explore the secrets of the multiverse and the Lord of All Things. At the same time, they were probably not on good terms with the sleeping Azathoth.
After Ming Xu's soul returned to the Eternal Land, it might have been under Yug Sothoth's suggestion that he was taken over by Shab Nicholas. He might also have never had the thought of descending into the human world as a god.
All of this was a plot against Li Xiang to attract him and invite him to make a deal. With Ming Xu as the price, he would complete these explorations and revelations for them.
Now that Ming Xu's soul was in their hands, the remnant was a reward and also a threat.
Li Xiang recalled the past and gradually understood.
After Bai Lili and Lancelot accidentally obtained part of Yug Sothoth's authority, they should have awakened him at the same time. This allowed the original pillar god who was far away in the Eternal Land to observe this tiny world and discover its mysteries and peculiarities.
Unfortunately, Bai Lili did not complete the task of the Executor that he instructed. She even came to the Eternal Land with the others in an attempt to achieve eternity. It was also because she saw the horror of the eternal existence that Bai Lili said that the players alone could not defeat them and lead the humans out of the cage.
Her goal had always been to bring the humans out of the cage completely. Not only the disasters on the periphery, but also the vaster, vaster universe cage!
After losing this Executor, Yug Sothoth and the rest had to use a new Executor to establish their connection with the human world.
Therefore, they allowed more and more eternal existences to give humans authority and even power. At the same time, they also chose a new Executor.
In the end, Li Xiang, the anomaly, was discovered.
Some of the arrangements around him were developed.
As Yug Sothoth said, he had the ability to manipulate the fate of almost all living things. He could not directly affect Li Xiang, but he could indirectly affect him by pushing other things.
In the end, he successfully came here and met him.
It was just that he did not expect Li Xiang to be so obsessed with Ming Xu. It was a power that he could not influence. Therefore, he lamented that Li Xiang came too early and that he had not been able to complete the change of Ming Xu.
But now, it seemed that he would not do that anymore.
When Yug Sothoth threw out the clone Ming Xu, he was indirectly explaining all of this to Li Xiang. He recognized that Li Xiang was the anomaly chosen by the Lord of All Things and did not intend to use the original plan to manipulate Li Xiang.
