Chapter 787 The truth
"Dong dong dong."
At night, the familiar knock on the door rang again.
However, with the reminder from Xiao Ling'er and the Samsara Insect, Xiao Ye would not be stupid enough to open the door.
But then the problem came. The knock on the door kept ringing outside, which made Xiao Ye a little upset.
This sound is not like an ordinary knock on the door, but contains some kind of special power, which makes people feel very uncomfortable when they hear it.
But as time goes by, this feeling becomes stronger.
"It's not over yet!"
Xiao Ye couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.
This sound... did not have any effect, but made the knocking on the door more intense.
"Um!!"
The sleeping fat man on the side began to twist again, and seemed to be greatly affected. There was some blood flowing out of his nose, ears and eyes, and he looked very miserable.
He fell into a coma and could not actively block the knocking like Xiao Ye, so the impact was more serious.
Xiao Ye felt that the aura on Fatty's body was getting weaker and weaker, and finally hesitated and threw him into the great world.
If you don't throw him in, I'm afraid he will really burp.
Because Xiao Ye could not enter the Great Sumeru Realm, he was tortured by knocks on the door all night.
The next day, the reincarnation insect came to the room.
In order to prevent it from discovering the abnormality, Xiao Ye threw Fatty out of the Great Sumeru Realm before it came.
"Have you considered it?" Samsara looked at Xiao Ye and asked directly.
"Didn't I say that I would give you the answer when I get to Tianzhi City?" Xiao Ye said with a frown.
The reincarnation insect glanced at Xiao Ye and said calmly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to reach the Sky City in your current state."
At this moment, Xiao Ye, who had been tortured by knocks on the door all night, did not look good.
"Who are you?" Xiao Ye asked.
Now he has determined that the identity of the reincarnation insect is not that simple.
"Oh, interesting?" The reincarnation insect looked at Xiao Ye and said with a smile: "What will happen even if you know my identity? It still can't solve your current dilemma."
"I'm afraid I can't escape death, so I have to understand whose hands I am dying before I die." Xiao Ye said calmly.
The reincarnation insect glanced at Xiao Ye appreciatively: "You are very open-minded. It is true that neither I nor the old guy want you to live. Originally I didn't want to do anything to you, but you can absorb and fuse the Fuji Glass Yan, the variables are too big for me, and I don’t like things that are too variable.”
Xiao Ye frowned: "You haven't answered my question yet, who are you?"
"You're so persistent. Since you want to know so much, I'll give you a hint. It has something to do with where I'm going this time."
City of Heaven?
Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you from Tianzhi City?"
"Correct or not?" the reincarnation insect said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment.
"Guess again, maybe you're right." The reincarnation insect still had that same smile.
Looks like he deserves a beating.
"I can't guess." Xiao Ye said simply.
Guess what, I like to talk but don't say it.
This attitude made the reincarnation insect stunned for a moment. After a moment, he said slowly: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, my identity is nothing, but the entire city of heaven belongs to me."
"Are you the master of Tianzhi City?" It was Xiao Ye's turn to be surprised. He had thought about many things, but he never thought that the reincarnation insect was the master of Tianzhi City.
"But that was what happened before. When the six paths of reincarnation were defeated, I, as the master of the Sky City, suffered a severe backlash. In order to survive, I had to merge with a reincarnation insect."
Perhaps he felt that Xiao Ye would not live long and the Emperor of Heaven would not be able to do anything good.
Hidden, he told Xiao Ye everything he wanted to know.
Xiao Ye suddenly realized: "No wonder you don't do it to me now. It's not that you don't want to, but that you can't do it. If I'm not wrong, although you survived, your power is gone, right? Combined with the fact that you want to take me to If you go to Tianzhi City, then your power should stay there. Only by getting your power back can you be sure to take the Fuji Glass Flame out of my body."
"You are very smart and your guess is good." The Emperor nodded.
"So, the identity of the boatman is not that simple." Xiao Ye took a deep breath and continued to ask.
The Emperor of Heaven said: "Like me, he took the body of the leader of the ferryman clan in order to survive. The difference with me is that he was trapped in the sea of suffering by his identity as a ferryman and could not leave the sea of suffering."
"I see, you want the Fuji Glazed Flame in me, so what's his purpose?" Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "His purpose shouldn't be the Fuji Glazed Flame, right?"
"His goal is naturally not the Fuji Glazed Flame. In his current state, even if you hand the Fuji Glazed Flame to him, he will not be able to absorb it, and he will even be seriously injured by the Fuji Glazed Flame."
"So his target is me?" Xiao Ye asked, staring at the Emperor of Heaven.
"Yes, he wants to swallow your soul body. After all, your soul body is too tempting for him, otherwise he would not have directly sailed the ferry boat to you in the first place."
Emperor Tian said nonchalantly: "But I don't care what he wants to do, as long as it doesn't interfere with me getting the Fuji Glass Flame."
"If he wanted to swallow my soul so much, why didn't he do it directly?" Xiao Ye was a little confused. After all, the boatman had many opportunities.
The Emperor of Heaven said calmly: "At first he was afraid of me and didn't dare to take action at will. Later he found that I didn't care, so he stopped waiting. It's just that he stole the ferryman's body after all, so he couldn't fully control the ferryman. The treasure of the clan, as long as you stay in this safe house, there is nothing he can do to you."
"Are you so sure that you can defeat me?" Xiao Ye said with some confusion.
"Do you think you still have any chance of survival?" The Emperor said with a half-smile, "Although you can defeat that Taotie, it's nothing to us."
Xiao Ye looked at the Emperor without saying a word. He did want to escape, but naturally he would not be stupid enough to attack them.
"Who is stronger, you or him?" After thinking for a while, Xiao Ye asked.
The Emperor of Heaven thought for a moment and said slowly: "The City of Heaven is the most powerful among the Six Paths of Reincarnation City."
Xiao Ye instantly understood what he meant. The City of Heaven is the most powerful city in the Six Paths of Samsara City, which means that the Emperor of Heaven is stronger than the others.
"Now that we've reached this point, what else do you want to know? Let's ask clearly once and for all." The Emperor said calmly.
"Why was the Six Paths of Reincarnation defeated? Isn't it very strong in the legend?" In fact, Xiao Ye was not very clear about the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but his experiences during these years all told him that the former Six Paths of Reincarnation was great.
"Because we have encountered a very powerful enemy." The Emperor said directly without hiding anything.
"You are all so powerful, who can defeat you?" Xiao Ye was a little curious. Although he didn't know how powerful they were, to be able to become legends, their strength must not be that simple.
"This matter involves the secrets of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and I can't tell you." The Emperor of Heaven shook his head.
Xiao Ye was thoughtful. What he said was that he couldn't tell, not that he didn't want to tell. There was a big difference between the two.
"It seems that this matter is not that simple." Xiao Ye said.
The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said, "This matter is indeed not that simple. Looking back now, it feels quite strange. Unfortunately, it happened so fast back then that the Six Paths of Reincarnation was defeated before I could even react."
After pondering for a moment, the Emperor continued: "I can only tell you that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is very powerful, and no one can easily defeat it."
The Emperor of Heaven said meaningfully: "
Have you ever heard of a special thing? Its head is very hard, even so hard that nothing in the world can break it, but it is also very fragile, so fragile that it almost breaks with a slight touch. The Six Paths of Reincarnation is almost the same thing. "
"You mean to say that the reason why the Six Paths of Reincarnation was defeated was not actually because of the outside world, but because of the Six Paths of Reincarnation itself, or that someone among you had tampered with it?" Xiao Ye said.
The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said nothing.
Although he didn't speak, he actually told Xiao Ye the answer.
"Time is running out. Make a choice quickly. Make a choice early and be freed early." Finally, the Emperor of Heaven said.
"Little Ling'er."
After the Emperor of Heaven left, Xiao Ye called Xiao Ling'er over.
"Do you know his identity?" Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Ling'er through the door and asked.
Little Ling'er nodded and said, "Are you talking about the boatman? If it's him, I do know. Even our ferryman clan knows about it."
Xiao Ye frowned: "Since you know, why don't you resist?"
"It's useless." Xiao Ling'er said calmly: "The soul fire of the entire ferryman clan is in his hands. We have no other choice but to listen to him."
Xiao Ye fell into silence. This was indeed a problem.
"Brother, if nothing happens, I'll leave first." Xiao Ling'er looked at Xiao Ye and said.
Xiao Ye forced a smile and nodded. Although he knew most of the truth, it was of little use to Xiao Ye.
"Now that I have figured this out, it's time to leave."
The reason why Xiao Ye is so calm is because he can use the Heart of Space to leave here at any time, but he has to stay in order to find out the purpose of the Emperor of Heaven and the boatman.
"They shouldn't be able to feel my condition when I'm in this room at night, right?" Xiao Ye asked the system.
【Can’t feel it. 】
In fact, Xiao Ye also had a guess, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago when he threw the fat man into the Great Sumeru Realm.
