165: Chapter 165: The truth, whether it is a god or a ghost, all will be refined!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan was startled. Eight years ago, wasn't that precisely the day he underwent Transmigration?

Could it be that as soon as he arrived in this world, he was targeted by some powerful beings?

After listening to the giant's instructions to the village chief and the others, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a frigid tone, "Since that's the case, I'm already here. You can make your move."

Jiang Xuan could sense the quasi-Imperial Rank Qi within the old man, as well as several Saint King Qi around him. If they wanted to kill him, at such close range, most people wouldn't be able to escape.

However, the village chief shook his head, "Young friend, you jest. You are now Dali's savior. If we were to do that, wouldn't we become ungrateful?"

Jiang Xuan sneered, "Heh heh, is that so? I don't think that's the case."

The old man's body trembled, and he feigned doubt, "Young friend, what do you mean by that?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth. He stood up, glanced at the crowd, and said, "Let me guess, the reason you haven't made a move isn't because I saved Dali, but because you're tired of being manipulated and no longer wish to obey orders!"

Speaking of which, a glimmer of wisdom appeared in Jiang Xuan's eyes. He stared intently at the old man, enunciating each word, "I truly didn't expect it. After millions of years, the people within an illusion created by a giant's heart would actually develop their own consciousness. This world is indeed wondrous."

"What!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the old man's aged face instantly changed. He struggled to control his emotions, and a hoarse voice came from his throat, "Young friend, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at the other party and smiled, "What? Is it not so? From the first moment I saw this village, I felt something was off."

One must know that he possessed the Eye of Discernment; all illusions and Formations in the world could not escape these eyes.

"Although Man Village appears vibrant and peaceful on the surface, in reality, there isn't a trace of living human Qi."

"At first, I thought it was the work of the undead, but after a closer inspection, I found that there was not only no Life Qi here, but not even Death Qi."

"The entire Man Village is a giant illusion. Except for Dali, everything else is fake."

With that, Jiang Xuan turned and looked at the old man, saying faintly, "Village Chief, am I right?"

The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with astonishment. His hands trembled slightly. After a long time, he let out a long sigh, "Alas, millions of years, a full millions of years. Once we developed our own consciousness, we tried every method to break free from him."

"But how easy is that? We were created, and he is the creator. Our continued existence or disappearance is at his whim."

"For millions of years, the people in this village have remained the same, without the slightest change. Their thoughts are forever stuck at the moment of their initial Awakening. Only I, this old fellow, have had my consciousness constantly changing."

"Then what about Dali? Why is he real?"

Jiang Xuan was puzzled. If what the village chief said was true, then Dali was an old monster who had lived for millions of years. But why didn't Dali know?

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression was unreadable. He smiled as he looked at Jiang Xuan, "With Young friend's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to notice the distinctly different Qi within Dali's body, should it?"

Jiang Xuan's pupils suddenly constricted, "You mean..."

The old man nodded, "Back then, the giant's heart refined a drop of its heart Blood into a living body, and then hid its last trace of power and Divine Soul within this body, attempting to revive itself this way."

"And that body is Dali. Every ten years, Dali will fall into a slumber. Each time he sleeps, the memories of the previous ten years will disappear, and everything will start anew. And each time he awakens, the Divine Soul and power within him will grow stronger."

"Originally, we thought that with Dali's departure, everything would be over, and we would also be free from our shackles. Who would have thought that he would return? It's all fate, after all, we can't escape this endless Reincarnation."

After listening to the village chief's explanation, Jiang Xuan completely understood. Dali was a substitute to help the giant revive. Once the time was ripe, Dali would instantly be replaced, becoming someone else.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan's face turned cold. Hmph, Dali is now a person of my Heaven Realm. If you want to replace him, you'll have to ask if I, this Realm Lord, agree first!

Since the System brought him here, there must be a solution. He remembered what the old man said about Dali falling into a slumber every ten years, and he quickly asked the other party, "How much longer until Dali's next slumber?"

The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and he said solemnly, "Counting the time, it's within these few days!"

Within these few days? Jiang Xuan's heart trembled. Does that mean in a few days, I'll lose a loyal subordinate?

Moreover, isn't that damn giant playing Dali for a fool? A ten-year Reincarnation, for millions of years. Can't you do something humane?

To actually humiliate a person of my Heaven Realm like this, no matter what you are, if This Realm Lord doesn't grind you to dust, I'll take your name!

Suddenly, Jiang Xuan's eyes blazed with cold light! "Where is that giant's heart? Take me there!"

The old man was greatly alarmed, his eyes showing extreme fear, "Young friend, absolutely not! This old man knows your strength is unmatched, but that place is not somewhere we can go. It's beyond human capability!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." As he spoke excitedly, the old man started coughing again.

Jiang Xuan was speechless. You're an illusion, why do you keep coughing?

Jiang Xuan waved his hand at the old man, "No need to say more. Just take me there. Village Chief, don't you want to break free from his control? This is a good opportunity."

The old man lowered his head, struggling internally, unconsciously rubbing the corner of his clothes. After a long while, he suddenly looked up, his cloudy eyes now filled with determination, "Alright! Young friend, this old man will take you. Since he is so eager to kill you, you must be his nemesis."

"This old man will take this gamble. Millions of years, it's been long enough."

Before long, the old man led Jiang Xuan to a large tree. Red strips of cloth hung from its branches, and several statues Jiang Xuan had never seen before stood around it.

"It's underground. This old man can only take you this far."

With that, the old man clapped his hand downwards, and the ground instantly cracked open, emitting an ancient Qi.

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the dark opening. Without any hesitation, spatial power surged, and he instantly vanished from his spot.

Time was pressing. He had to solve the problem before Dali fell into a slumber!

Watching Jiang Xuan disappear into the opening, a glimmer of hope appeared in the old man's cloudy eyes, "Young friend, everything rests on you."

In the underground passage, Jiang Xuan's figure constantly moved through it, and he secretly asked, "System, does the giant's heart here count as a treasure? Can it be refined into Bloodline Value?"

Before long, the System's voice came, "The giant's heart does not belong to this realm. After millions of years, it has completely fused into an existence like the core of Sand Province. It is a life treasure, and its rank far surpasses the Imperial Rank!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan's expression was overjoyed, "Heh, since that's the case, This Young Master will gladly accept it. No matter if you're a god or a ghost, I'll refine you all!"
