Chapter 5126 Memory Shackles

Chapter 5126 Memory Shackles
It remains unclear what the existence behind the Extinction Bureau is.

Although previous clues all pointed to Four Eyes, which was very likely to be the Si Ming clan, it seems that it has only temporarily taken control of Qi Baihun's body, rather than being a member of the Si Ming clan.

Therefore, the identity of the four-eyed man remains a mystery.

They appeared as masks, wearing deceptive masks crafted from eight, but at this moment, Xiao Yan had a bold idea in his mind.

"Since it was created by Ba, then... could Ba create some more? If two or even three four-eyed creatures appeared at the same time, the situation might become even more interesting."

"The Lord of Annihilation is toying with the common people and the world. Why should we be subject to their control instead of being treated as mere actors?"

The moment this idea came to him, Xiao Yan had no intention of hiding it. He wanted everyone in the Chaos Conference to participate so that the Extinction Division would be truly thrown into chaos.

While it's difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, perhaps we can obtain more clues about the Master of Annihilation through this mask.

And find ways to fight against them, or even kill them completely!

"However, after some probing, it can be determined that although the Master of Destruction can use the Deceptive Mask and the Phantom Robe to come and go without a trace, the abilities he carries are extremely limited, and his perception ability is not strong either."

Although the release and absorption of the Zichen Void Spirit Tower can be completed silently, and as Xiao Yan's strength increases, it seems that the tower can be better hidden within his body.

As long as the tower is not released, using the Zichen Void Spirit Tower as a weapon will not be easily detected or exposed.

Otherwise, the Zichen Void Spirit Tower wouldn't still be safely inside Xiao Yan's body.

"In other words, the power of the Zichen Void Spirit Tower is something that even beings like the Master of Annihilation cannot perceive. What exactly is it? The Venerable One brought it out from the Chaos God Realm. Could it be that the King is also searching for it?"

Xiao Yan had made some guesses before, but now it seems he is getting closer and closer to the truth about Zi Chen's Void Spirit Tower.

So far, all the abilities within this tower have been left by the Venerable One to pave the way for Xiao Yan, but its true power has yet to be revealed.

Although Xiao Yan's strength has now reached its final peak, it seems that he has not yet reached the point where he can glimpse the secrets of Zi Chen's Void Spirit Tower.

"There are twenty-two floors in total, fifteen of which have been opened. What unexpected things might be hidden in the last seven floors?"

Xiao Yan was also curious about this, but he did not deliberately explore it, because each time he went to a new level, he needed to wait for the right opportunity, which could not be forced.

The Eternal Corridor on the fifteenth floor had already overturned Xiao Yan's understanding of this world, and even his understanding of the Zichen Void Spirit Tower.

Although there will be a price to pay, it will allow one to travel to the future or the past through the Eternal Corridor, and within it, one can change the past and thus influence the future.

According to the laws of the river of time, this is absolutely forbidden, so even Xiao Yan dares not use such an ability lightly.

It was used to save Yun Yun, but of course, using its power requires the support of the Sky-Mending Crystal.

However, the Heaven-Mending Crystal is also a mysterious object, and it has not appeared again since.

The one pondering all this was Xiao Yan's Zu Chi clone, and it was also the Zu Chi clone who put on the mask.

The aura it exuded was strange, and there was a void mark between its brows. This clone's abilities seemed weak, but in reality, they were not.

Xiao Yan had already experienced the ability to manipulate entities in the void; it was one of the absolute killing moves.

Furthermore, Zu Chi's clone ability allows Xiao Yan to still have a fighting chance against stronger enemies, or even enemies he cannot defeat.

Therefore, Xiao Yan chose to have Zu Chi's clone wear the Nine Gen Mask. Even if Si Mou discovered him, at least he would still have the Void Mark to use, and in case of an emergency, he could summon a Void being to come and help.

Finally, the Golden Cicada clone was left as a backup, in case of any unforeseen circumstances, so that the original Genshin Impact clone could self-destruct and the Golden Cicada clone could take the original body with it.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario he had anticipated did not occur.

Xiao Yan didn't remember the woman in front of him, nor the unfamiliar name Cen Xianyuan.

But he remembered that this was not the first time he had fainted, and the reason seemed to be related to the unfamiliar name Cen Xianyuan.

Xiao Yan made thorough preparations, just in case.

Just as he had predicted, danger indeed followed one after another.

Qi Baihun, who had originally left, had not truly left. His original god clone had already repelled him, but Si Mou appeared and caused further trouble.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan had a backup plan. If Si Mou had really controlled Qi Baihun's body and used soul power as the main means of attack, the three clones Xiao Yan left behind would probably not have been able to protect the life of the original.

Even if they manage to protect the original body in the end, they will all pay a terrible price.

The danger has temporarily passed, but the unconscious original body is trapped in a dream, which is all the memories of the Xuan Yin True Realm.

"This rabbit, which hops around like a dog, is really annoying."

Xiao Yan thought to himself that he clearly remembered everything that had happened, and he could see in his memory that the Ice Rabbit was always being held in the arms of a beautiful figure.

But no matter how hard Xiao Yan tried, he couldn't see her face clearly.

Qianying was talking to him, but Xiao Yan couldn't hear a word she said.

This feeling drove him almost crazy. He tried to get closer to see and hear clearly, but all his efforts were in vain.

"I know you are important to me, but why do you make me forget everything and become my inner demon!"

In his dream, Xiao Yan felt a deep sense of powerlessness. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the demonic barrier.

"I'm so determined to find the memories that belong to you. Is this a blockade, or a test?"

Having experienced countless things in the world, Xiao Yan still couldn't calm down immediately, but he finally broke down one after another.

He gradually calmed down, and the dream ended with the last image.

He held the figure in his arms tightly until it dissipated and merged into his body.

"So... you gave yourself to me?"

“But you didn’t understand my memories, you just sealed them away… and now I have the ability to break through those sealed memories.”

"No matter why, I can't forget you; it wasn't my choice."

Xiao Yan murmured, his obsession growing stronger. His thoughts transformed into an extremely powerful force, breaking through the shackles of memory.

Countless fragmented memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave.

He remembered everything that had happened in the Xuan Yin True Realm.

His indifference when they first met, and the Empress's continued assistance to him in the Xuan Yin True Realm.

The Empress summoned the Blazing Flame Army to fight alongside him against the invasion of the Void.

From indifference to the title "Yuan'er," and finally to ensuring Xiao Yan's safe departure, she merged the last of her spiritual power into his body, causing it to dissipate completely.

With her last memory, unwilling to forget, she tore through her flesh and blood and carved the three words "Cen Xianyuan" into it!
