Chapter 1616: Is he really giving up?

beard?

Bald?

How about a hair transplant?

Lu Li and the others followed each keyword, their gazes tracing back and forth between Babayak's chin and head.

"Oh, I almost forgot I'm still controlling your body, you can't answer..."

Babayak once again uttered Xing Anlin's sleazy voice.

At the same time, Babayak felt a wave of relief wash over him, regaining his mobility, and immediately spoke:

"But I don't have a beard, and I'm not bald..."

Not long after I finished speaking, the strange feeling that my body didn't belong to me came back again.

Once again, Babayak heard words escaping his lips, words that were not under his control:

"I forgot, you're only ten years old..."

"Never mind, I don't have much time. I'd better hurry up and get the message out!"

Lu Li's eyes sharpened, and a hint of anxiety crept into his voice:

"You don't have much time?"

"Are you going back in a bit?"

“Not going back.” Babayak shook his head, saying cheekily:

“I bought a ‘one-way ticket,’ meaning I can’t go back once I’m here.”

Lu Li frowned, his tone filled with even more doubt:

"If we can't go back, why do you say we don't have much time left?"

"Because I'm not leaving, I'm about to 'shut down'."

Babayak twitched the corners of his mouth, as if trying to force a smile.

But perhaps it's because Xing Anlin's control over Gobern's body wasn't as complete as he thought.

The expression that finally appeared was more like a funny face made after making faces.

"Shut down?" Lu Li's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"What's the matter?"

"Just like when Eternal Night 'shut down' inside you before." Babayak waved his hand, interrupting Lu Li's question, and continued on his own:

"Let me tell you the important things first."

"This ruin has a back door that leads directly into the depths of the endless forest."

"The mechanism to activate it is right here. With your intelligence, Brother Li, you'll definitely be able to find it."

"When the time comes, the two Goebels should retreat through the back door, and absolutely do not return the way they came."

“Then…” Lu Li was about to speak when Babayak accurately predicted his words and raised his hand to interrupt him again.

“Babayak, after you and Gerargon evacuate through the back door, return to the settlement immediately.”

"Remember, you must lead them into the endless forest no matter what."

"Burn down the original settlements, leaving no trace."

"???? We couldn't delete this redundant data before, and we won't be able to delete it anytime soon."

"You can live, thrive, and be self-sufficient in the endless forest."

"There will be danger, but 'loyalty' will give you strength! Hmm, although that sounds a bit melodramatic."

"The only thing to be careful about is to mark the exit 'path' in the endless forest sandbox."

“Every time the Demon King’s throne is shaken, or even replaced, all the passages will be stable for a relatively long period of time. That is your chance to escape as a whole race…”

"Damn! How come it's going to shut down so soon?!"

Lu Li was deep in thought when he suddenly heard Xing Anlin shout a curse.

Then, Babayak's speaking speed increased:

"Babayak, that's it for you!"

"Also, Sister-in-law Evelina, you'll have a chance to enter the realm of gods when you give birth, so you can just give birth without worry!"

"After giving birth, stay in the realm of gods; that's the safest place. As for the child, don't worry about it; someone will take care of it..."

"Oh, and one more thing! Brother Li, don't think that being favored by lust is impure. In the end, demons and we are all the same, just in different forms!"

“A demon like Babayak can perfectly wield the power of loyalty. When I first met him, I thought old Deng was making fun of me!”

At this point, Babayak suddenly stopped talking and his expression froze.

After a full three seconds of silence, he weakly uttered his last two sentences, as if a radio had run out of power:

"No, I really need to shut up right now!"

"One last thing, hehe, Brother Li, I told you you couldn't resist the temptation of a succubus, right..."

After speaking, Babayak felt a sense of relief wash over him, and he regained his ability to move.

"Huh? I can move now?"

Gobern stared blankly as wisps of black mist rose from his body and slowly converged towards Lu Li, exclaiming in surprise.

“I’m really done for…” Lu Li watched as the black mist entered his body, calming his mind to carefully sense it.

Unfortunately, [Soul Devouring] remains in an unusable gray state, and the existence of the Soul Realm cannot be sensed at all.

Naturally, it was impossible to find out where Xing Anlin, who was supposed to be resting, was.

"This guy……"

Lu Li shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.

Attention returns to Babayak:

Do you still feel any discomfort anywhere in your body?

"Uh, no, sir," Babayak replied truthfully.

This time, there were no more strange little movements, and he returned to normal completely.

"That authority of loyalty, can you sense it?" Lu Li continued to press, but there was no longer much urgency in his eyes.

Although the information Xing Anlin left behind was confusing, it did answer many of his questions.

For example, can the demon Babayak coexist harmoniously with the sacred authority of loyalty?

Xing Anlin had already made it very clear in his previous words.

Babayak lived to be 618 years old and eventually succeeded in 'taking control' of the power of loyalty.

That's why Lu Li dared to get straight to the point and let Babayak sense the authority within his body.

It has a bit of a "knowing the outcome, having nothing to fear" feel to it.

“Uh, authority? Oh, okay!” Babayak hesitated for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"But I can only sense its presence; I don't yet know how to use it..."

"When that weirdo gave you the authority, didn't he give you an instruction manual or something?" Lu Li grinned, his tone slightly sarcastic.

“No…” Babayak scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

"When I first woke up, I thought I was dead."

"At first glance, I mistook that strange face for some kind of holy master..."

"By the way... sir, is that strange face somehow related to the Holy Lord?"

"The authority that strange face bestowed upon you is 'loyalty'," Lu Li said, not directly answering Babayak's question, but instead continuing on his own.

"It is 'loyalty' from the Seven Ancestors, the face of light."

"So how much do you think it has to do with the Holy Lord you're talking about?"

Babayak's already greenish face turned an even deeper shade of green.

After stammering for a long time, he could only utter a single, incomplete sentence:

"Come, from the sacred... authority of 'loyalty'?"
