Chapter 5144 Game Theory and Trade
Qi Baihun's three faces simultaneously revealed eerie smiles, and his overlapping voices carried an inhuman rhythm.
"Everyone says that His Majesty is the most intelligent and shrewd person in the world, and now that I have seen it, it is indeed true."
Qi Baihun, standing before him, did not launch an attack. Instead, he looked at the boundless figure that stood still like a human terracotta warrior.
"Look how greedy they are, rushing forward one after another, wanting to find my secret treasure, which is why they came here to help me achieve my goal!"
"With their soul power and the essence of dreams, nourishing me, it won't be long before I can revive and regain control of the Mountain and Sea Realm!"
Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine as his gaze swept over the densely packed, sleeping creatures. This was no secret treasure at all.
It's clearly a scheme to use the entire Dream Treasure Trove as bait to lure powerful individuals in, then trap and kill them within layers of dreams, draining their soul power.
It became nourishment for the Lord of Dreams' revival, a conspiracy orchestrated by the Lord of Dreams.
However, Xiao Yan did not respond immediately, but instead looked thoughtful.
If the Lord of Dreams can truly be revived using the current soul power, then why would he need to talk to me here?
It has no meaning or purpose, unless... the Lord of Illusions wants to gain something from Xiao Yan.
When he saw the Lord of Dreams speaking and exchanging ideas with him, he already understood something.
The predicament in the dream is real, but if the Lord of Illusions really wants to trap Xiao Yan in the dream, he will not be able to break out of it, at least for this short period of time.
Therefore, Xiao Yan has some means and strength to break free from the dream, but at the same time, it is likely that the Lord of Illusions deliberately let him off the hook.
At this moment, a sense of crisis, like a tangible needle, stimulated Xiao Yan's senses, making his thoughts exceptionally clear.
"Let's make a deal, enough with the nonsense," Xiao Yan said coldly.
"Hmm? Clever...you're really too clever. Then tell me, what kind of deal do you want to make?" Qi Baihun's three faces showed surprise, followed by delight, as he fixed his gaze on Xiao Yan.
"Absorbing their souls may not be enough to revive you. If I'm not mistaken, breaking open this golden coffin is the key to your revival. Am I right?" Xiao Yan's voice slowly drifted out.
Qi Baihun raised his hand and couldn't help but clap repeatedly.
"You are really too smart. I didn't say anything, and you immediately guessed that there has never been an existence like you in my world of mountains and seas. Otherwise, all living beings would still be so stupid."
"I am facing a crisis, and you are among those involved. We might as well cooperate. In this battle, you will help me, and after victory, I will break open the golden coffin for you!"
Xiao Yan said seriously, and then Qi Baihun laughed loudly, the sound lasting for a long time.
“My golden coffin might have a chance if a Venerable One at his peak came, but as for you, you are too weak after reincarnation, so there is absolutely no chance.” Qi Baihun shook his head.
"If you don't trust me, why did you deliberately let me break through the dream realm?" Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency, I must say something about this. You are completely over-interpreting the situation. Although the difficulty of dreams may vary, it is actually you yourselves who create them."
Whether you can break free from this dream depends on your own strength. I haven't gone easy on you.
Then Qi Baihun said something that Xiao Yan found puzzling: if that weren't the case, why didn't the Lord of Illusions kill him directly in his sleep, but waited until now, and actually had no intention of making a move.
In these words, Xiao Yan heard the Lord of Illusions' approval of him; whether it was true or not was not important.
The underlying meaning is that it agrees with Xiao Yan's idea.
"So, how can I open the golden coffin for you?"
Since it has said so, it means that only it knows the solution.
"Indeed, four powerful auras have appeared in the world of mountains and seas. Four experts at the fifth level. It seems they have come to kill you."
"I can help you, but I'll need your little helper for a while."
Qi Baihun's voice rang out again, and Xiao Yan immediately understood that the little follower he was referring to only had dog eyes.
As soon as the words fell, the golden coffin suddenly shone brightly, and trillions of ancient restrictive runes lit up, spreading throughout the entire void, as if this void was filled with restrictions, boundless and limitless!
"The Spirit Prisoner Clan has long been extinct. I'm afraid what's beside you is the last remnant of the Nine Realms. Only it can help me break the seal."
"In exchange, I will help you with this crisis. Of course, you also have no choice. Otherwise, after I cooperate with the Void Lord to eliminate you, the Spirit Prisoner will still be at my disposal."
Qi Baihun spoke slowly. Xiao Yan looked up at the countless restrictions, so numerous that it was unimaginable how much time it must have taken to set up such restrictions.
Who did the Lord of Illusions offend to be sealed here with so many restrictions?
"If I were to die here, do you really think the Spirit Prisoner could be of any use to you?" Xiao Yan immediately retorted.
"Haha, that's precisely because we've taken this into consideration. Most of the Spirit Prisoners aren't very intelligent, but they are extremely loyal and righteous. What if they commit suicide if you really die? That's why we need to form a strong alliance."
Qi Baihun burst into laughter, revealing the true reason for his conversation with Xiao Yan. This old monster was also cunning and calculating, having considered all possibilities.
Xiao Yan flicked his sleeve, and the dog's eye was flung out. Its big eyes were tightly closed, and it was still asleep.
"wake up."
The voice came from Qi Baihun's mouth, and it seemed to penetrate his soul, causing Xiao Yan's soul to tremble.
The dog's body twitched, but it didn't open its eyes, which surprised Qi Baihun.
Until Xiao Yan reached out and patted him on the head.
"Stop pretending to be asleep, it's no use pretending." Xiao Yan's voice came out, and the dog's eyes suddenly opened wide.
"You damned bastard, don't leave me here! He's the enemy who wiped out my clan, and I will never lift the seal on him!!!"
"Even if I die, die in battle, or commit suicide, I will never!!"
Upon awakening, the dog's eyes immediately emitted a heart-wrenching roar, displaying a madness that even Xiao Yan had never seen before.
The enemy who wiped out my clan?
The Lord of Illusions belongs to the Fate-Holding Clan, and the entire Spirit Prisoner Clan was wiped out by him. This confirms his identity.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his head and looked at the dog's eyes.
“Ling Qiu, he is your dearest friend. If you are unwilling, he will die here. Do you really want to watch him perish?”
Qi Baihun's voice slowly drifted out, but the anger in the dog's eyes paused for a moment.
"I...I...your entire Siming clan deserves to die a thousand deaths! I, Dog Lord, swear to exterminate your entire clan and lift the seal on you! Don't even think about it!!"
The restrictive techniques of the Fate-Breaking Clan were all obtained by devouring the Spirit Prisoner Clan. Only the Spirit Prisoner Clan has the ability to break these restrictions.
"Is that so? In that case, then you shall watch him die with your own eyes."
