I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

As Miss Mu grasped his palm, Xia Feng felt the world before his eyes blur for a moment, and the entire world seemed to collapse and disintegrate instantaneously.

He shook his head and when he surveyed his surroundings again, he had returned to the Present Realm.

The woman in the black dress got up from the sofa and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to overlook the scene below.

Following her gaze, Xia Feng saw that the dense crowd of audience members lay collapsed in swathes below, as if entranced by eternal sleep.

At the same time, streaks of crimson light descended from the sky and entered the foreheads of thousands like drizzling raindrops.

And as the crimson light receded, the vacant pupils of the thousands present all at once became spirited, obsessed, and finally, frenzied!

"According to the intelligence, this is the effect of Kovis's Spiritual Artifact, the 'Emotion Ring,' which can imbue living beings with certain specific emotions or feelings,"

Mu Qingtong stood by the window, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, "Normally, the Emotion Ring has hardly any effect, because human thinking is too chaotic. Even if one empties their mind, subconscious thoughts are still active, making it difficult for the Emotion Ring to interfere.

But now that these audience members have had their memories and emotions completely eradicated, they can easily be imbued with any emotion."

Listening to Mu Qingtong's explanation, Xia Feng immediately understood Kovis's purpose.

They were creating 'Seekers of Life'!

The conditions for the creation of Seekers of Life were extremely stringent, requiring a highly unified will to live just before a creature's death. Without the right opportunity and conditions, it would be tough to meet this criterion.

However, if the Nightmare Catastrophe was combined with the Emotion Ring, it seemed that there indeed would be an extraordinary effect.

Thinking this, Xia Feng's brow furrowed slightly as a black and gold card appeared in his palm.

This was the "All-players Position Card" he had bought a few days ago at the Life Roulette, allowing him to monitor the positions of all the players in the entire Life Roulette.

Right now, the card showed a blinking red dot not far to the east, marked with [8-35]

This indicated that the person was a player from the 8th Life Roulette, player number 35.

Indeed, there wasn't just one Life Roulette. According to the information from the All-players Position Card, there were a total of nine Life Roulettes, each with 37 players, making a grand total of 333 players.

The Life Roulette in which Xia Feng was participating was the ninth one, and the players from that Roulette were mostly distributed in areas 48 to 51.

If Golden Sparrow's goal truly was the Seekers of Life, then the Life Roulette really was something terrifying.

Because, as far as Xia Feng now knew, not only was the Ye Li Royal Family involved in the Life Roulette, but Burning Heaven Temple was also a participant, and now with the Golden Sparrow, this supreme clan, stirring into the mix...

Clearly, there were unimaginable interests behind this, powerful enough to make the supreme clans of two empires like the Yeli family and Golden Sparrow willing to take huge risks to enter the fray.

The purpose of the Life Roulette was to select a successor for the Sumeru Throne, and from the current situation, it seemed that the various forces were most likely trying to obtain this thing called the Sumeru Throne.

He didn't know what this thing was for, to have such charm to attract various forces in droves.

While he pondered, Xia Feng suddenly felt a throbbing sensation and instinctively looked toward the east.

It was the sensation of the Holy Dissolution Material!

Miss Jianzhu's guidance hadn't shown any activity for a long time, and now suddenly there was a response. Not far to the east, there was a large reaction of Yao Stones and Holy Liquid, among which there were many Water Bright Stone reactions.

The collection of Water Bright Stones was more than halfway complete, and the day of success was not far off.

While he thought about this, the palpitation in Xia Feng's heart eased a little, only for him to suddenly feel a jolt!

"Thump thump—"

He clutched his chest and turned to look back abruptly.

He could vaguely make out a white-dressed girl standing erect in the darkness behind him, her face was hazy and unclear, but Xia Feng could feel that piercing gaze.

He instinctively stepped back, while the white-dressed girl approached him, her figure turning gracefully tall and slender with each step. The proud outline of the white dress edged with gold, transformed into a dazzling golden long dress, emanating a purifying and sacred aura.

Her snow-white feet adorned with golden rings lightly tapped the floor as she came to a stop at the border between shadow and light, her fox-like eyes softly curved like crescents, and her classically stunning face seemed to float up with a hint of a smile.

"Little brother, I've found you."

"..." Xia Feng's eyelids twitched ferociously.

Gong Changyi, this guy, always appears so unexpectedly and frightens people, like a ghost.

But Xia Feng wasn't panicked, because he noticed that the image of the woman in a golden skirt was just an illusion, not real.

It must be Gong Changyi locating him by some means, and then speaking to him through the form of an illusion...

And the fact that he had just come out from the Memory World and was located so easily made him suspect that it was because of the restoration of his memories that he was found so readily.

Damn it, had he known, he wouldn't have restored those damned memories, Xia Feng held his forehead, but... everything has its advantages. Looking forward, there were benefits to restoring his memories.

At the very least, he now knew more about Gong Changyi's objectives, which could help him think of better strategies to counteract them.

Moreover, his memories in the Memory World were interrupted at age 12; the events from ages 12 to 14 were still fuzzy, but judging by the current situation, the ultimate outcome was definitely that Gong Changyi had successfully merged with the Eternal Day Core and temporarily taken over the Divine Position of Eternal Day.

However, before the main and subordinate temples finished integrating their Star Positions, the Divine Position of Eternal Day was still subject to change,

Sister Yi wanted to swallow him up to solidify her own Divine Position and imprison him at her side forever.

Then he too could rise against the tide, turn the subordinate into the main, and plot to seize the position of the main temple! To snatch away the Divine Position of Eternal Day!

As a child, he was indeed forced by Sister Yi's tyranny to fear and submit to her...

But times had changed!

Now he was different, and Gong Changyi still wanted to imprison his, Xia Feng's, freedom?!

In your dreams!

"My dear little brother, my subordinates have come to find you~ Can you stay still and not move?" The Golden-skirted Goddess said smilingly.

"Heh~" Xia Feng rolled his eyes.

Gong Changyi's face faltered slightly, then she finally shook her head and sighed regretfully, "Ah, Little Feng, you've really changed a lot over the years, daring to be so disrespectful to your sister."

"..." Xia Feng pursed his lips, about to say something.

"Mr. Xia, get ready. The enemies we're facing seem to be quite numerous."

Mu Qingtong closed her eyes as if sensing something, then her beautiful eyes opened, "Although I broke out of the Memory World ahead of time, we are not safe. The Nightmare Domain will automatically lift in ten seconds, and the hidden enemies have already locked onto me."

"There are three from the True Martial Realm, above the eastern clouds."

"Three from the True Martial Realm?" Xia Feng couldn't help but frown. Currently, the two of them at most could contend with two from the True Martial Realm, and that too only if they were newly-advanced like Pang Xize; otherwise, it would be quite troublesome.

Now that the enemy side had one more person from the True Martial Realm, even if it was just one, it would bring their combined combat strength to a level that would crush them. The two of them basically only had the option to flee.

Moreover, if the opponents were all seasoned individuals from the True Martial Realm, then there was even less of a chance.

Trouble... Xia Feng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, the main issue being that he had spent a large amount of Yao Stones when dealing with Pang Xize, and now he didn't have enough Yao Stones to open the Mind Domain, significantly weakening his combat power.

It seemed they could only run now, but Xia Feng really did not want to use the Black Crow feathers unless it was absolutely necessary.

With that thought, he suddenly looked towards the illusion of Sister Yi in front of him.

Gong Changyi's eyes curved softly, "My dear little brother, it seems you've encountered some trouble."

Xia Feng blinked, "Cough... So, Sister Yi, do you have any ideas?"

"Little brother, I still like your unruly and defiant demeanor from just now," the Golden-skirted Goddess smiled.
