I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

Lorenzo looked at it silently for a while. As foxes who were both thousand-year-old, they were no less thoughtful than the other.

He was most familiar with Qingtian. Her demeanor and behavior in the video were somewhat different from his impression of her in this life, which reminded him of Moira from a long time ago. And the "resurrected" Emil did not seem like a puppet being controlled.

His eyes were sharp and steady, and he occasionally glanced at the sunny sky with a hint of curiosity. The atmosphere between the two of them sitting together was polite and distant...

Although Tasriel was a mixed-up person, what he said was correct. Judging from the images transmitted, there was indeed something strange.

Lorenzo originally guessed that the so-called hostage-taking was a play by Bai Jingyan and Qingtian to prevent Tasriel from finding an excuse to march into the canyon and seize the spiritual stone resources. Now that they had not contacted him, he became a little worried.

"How is it? Do you think Qingtian's condition is a little strange?" Tasriel asked repeatedly on the other end of the communication ring, "Do you think this Emil is Bai Jingyan's transformation? Or is he another person resurrected by his soul transfer technique?"

"..."

Tasriel was implicitly admitting that he had awakened his past memories, and Lorenzo was unable to answer for a moment.

Because the other party's guess is likely close to the truth...

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your admission." Tasriel snorted coldly, "You don't have to hide it. The second millennium is almost here, and you should have awakened long ago."

Lorenzo said impatiently: "Since you know that everyone has awakened their past memories, can't you do something to benefit Lan Ze? Why do you have to make everyone in the family restless and the North and the South confront each other?"

"If you really like sunny days, why not give up your position and let others do the same."

Tasriel laughed and said, "That's not impossible. I'll give up my position when she marries me."

"..."

Lorenzo took a deep breath, "In this life, not only does she not love you, she also hates you. Can't you let go of your obsession and live your own lives?"

"No." Tasriel said slowly, "In this life, I am quite surprised that you, a great god, actually became friends with the Demon King and dared to trust him."

"The demons are hard to control, and their evil thoughts are always surging in the undercurrent."

Lorenzo's heart skipped a beat after hearing these words, and he said with a dark face:

"Stop sowing discord. In this life, Bai Jingyan's character is much better than yours! I really don't know how you have turned yourself into this twisted person in the past two thousand years!"

Is it twisted?

Tasriel laughed sinisterly, "Isn't it all your credit that I am like this? I am the masterpiece of all of you."

"..."

For a moment, Lorenzo felt his hair stand on end. What Tasriel said seemed to be just a statement of fact.

After a few seconds of silence, he frowned and replied, "Can't the past be left in the past? It's been so long..."

Tasriel sneered, "You don't understand. The longer time goes by, the crazier I will become. Lorenzo, you should think about sunny days first."

"Do you know what secrets are hidden in the Broken Canyon? Do you know what the Spirit Stone is?"

Lorenzo said impatiently: "Can you finish what you want to say at once?"

Tasriel looked towards the Broken Canyon Mountain area in the distance filled with lavender mist and said in a low voice:

"The Broken Canyon is connected to the once abandoned God's Domain. Your homeland has now become a desolate Demon's Domain. The so-called spiritual stones are actually the places where the God's Domain buried a large number of gods and demons. The spiritual energy gathered over thousands of years."

Lorenzo was stunned when he heard this.

Homeland God's Domain? It's actually connected to Lanze?

"Tasriel, are you lying to me?"

Tasriel: "Oh, why would I lie to you? You know I'm good at controlling souls. Before I awakened, I knew there was another time and space in the canyon, but after I awakened, I realized that wasn't that our hometown?"

Lorenzo took a deep breath and said, "So you mean that the spirit stone is actually contaminated by evil thoughts?"

Tasriel smiled and said, "Your focus is a bit off. However, as a god who is high above and rarely goes to the battlefield in person, it is reasonable that you can't imagine what the Demon Realm usually accompanies."

"You don't have to mock me. What is it accompanied by?" Lorenzo asked.

Tasriel: "It is naturally the time and space node of the Dark Abyss, the Dark Abyss that condenses all kinds of evil thoughts."

Lorenzo gasped, and as a thought flashed through his mind, Tasriel spoke it out.

"Do you think Qingtian and Bai Jingyan encountered the Dark Abyss during their adventure? The Dark Abyss is the source of evil that can detonate demonic thoughts and cause chaos among living beings. I wonder if they have withstood the test?"

"Bai Jingyan is a demon. A person with a strong soul can suppress his demonic thoughts, but suppression does not mean they disappear... If the demon that has been buried in his heart for so many years is released, do you think it will be terrible?"

“Shut up! You are the devil!” Lorenzo could no longer bear it and roared, “Qingtian is in there, can’t you think of something better? They are all gods after all!”

"Tsk, you're even more impatient than me." Tasriel sneered, "I'm just providing you with some reliable clues."

"Thousands of years ago, the Demon Emperor abducted Moira, polluted the Domain God Core, and launched a war between gods and demons. It is hard to say whether he will follow the same path now. After all, destiny is predestined."

After Tasriel finished speaking, he paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I don't care what you want to do or how you plan. I will give Canyon one more day at most. I want to see my fiancée on the ninth day after tomorrow."

"You also know the importance of this marriage between the North and the South. If it fails, even if I find war troublesome, the people below will not tolerate it. We cannot stop the tide of history at all."

After the call ended, Lorenzo fell into indescribable sorrow.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Qingtian's struggles and efforts, as if if she relaxed even a little, everything would repeat the tragedy of the past.

Is this the fate she wants to escape?

Is this why she's obsessed with power?

She wanted Lanze to be peaceful and prosperous, and wanted to hold it tightly in her hands, but everything was always deformed and distorted inexplicably, gradually becoming what it was in the past...

She worked hard to reform and make everyone free and equal, but it became the fuse of a war that had been buried for a long time...

Lorenzo was feeling depressed and stayed quiet for a while. He ordered Mu Ze to stay on guard and he took a few of his men and entered the Broken Canyon from the forest in disguise.

"Report, five people from the south have quietly entered the canyon area." The scout who was assigned to keep a close eye on Lorenzo's army hurried back to report.

Upon hearing this, Tasriel said coldly: "It seems that Lorenzo can't contact Qingtian and Bai Jingyan either."

Could it be that my blind guess was right and something went wrong?

Tasriel's expression darkened. Heaven is truly ruthless...

After thinking about it, he told Erich to continue camping here. After the two discussed the military action at 10 am on the 9th, Tasriel disappeared from the camp.

After crossing the foggy hills, Lorenzo and his four men pretended to be lost merchants and appeared on the border road south of the Broken Canyon.

"I didn't expect there are so many monsters here." said one of the men.

"Yeah, if the lord wasn't here, we would have caused quite a stir just by coming in." The other man looked at his bandaged wound with lingering fear.

Lorenzo frowned and said, "I hope the road ahead will be smoother. We will first use the teleportation array to reach the small town in the west that is closer to the canyon."

After thinking about it, he denied himself again, "Let's find a carriage later, just in case the other party is prepared..."

Although he did not completely believe Tasriel's analysis, he could not be 100% sure of Qingtian's safety at this moment.

All with caution.
