178: A scene from the previous life, where the emperor was killed with just one finger!
Various thoughts flashed through her mind.
Chu Yunxi suddenly snapped back to reality, unable to help but break out in a cold sweat.
Kong Wu Dao's methods and schemes were, as always, unfathomable and difficult to predict.
Directly avoiding this question was tantamount to seeking death.
But if she answered poorly, she would likewise be exposed by Kong Wu Dao.
At that moment, Chu Yunxi raised her head slightly, her Phoenix eyes revealing just the right amount of confusion.
"A person of Rebirth?"
"The dead cannot return to life; this is the truth of the world."
"If Young Divine Lord Kong Wu Dao had not mentioned it, I would never have imagined that such an existence could break the truths of the world."
"Why would Young Divine Lord Kong Wu Dao suddenly ask this question? Could it be that you have seen such a strange person with your own eyes?"
As she finished speaking, a glimmer of anticipation and curiosity appeared in Chu Yunxi's beautiful eyes.
It was as if she were seizing the initiative, wanting to get Kong Wu Dao to tell her more about people of Rebirth.
Seeing this, Kong Wu Dao chuckled inwardly.
This Chu Yunxi was putting on quite the act.
Although she remained calm on the surface, possessing the majestic bearing of an Empress, she still revealed a few small flaws.
For instance, when he had just deliberately thrown out the question about people of Rebirth, a momentary stagnation and panic had flashed deep within Chu Yunxi's calm eyes.
It just so happened that Kong Wu Dao's Primordial Spirit was extremely powerful, allowing him to capture this scene with perfect clarity.
As a generation's Empress, revealing such a flaw in front of a Junior like him only meant that she was likely afraid of his background, or perhaps him himself.
Unfortunately, to understand all of this, he had to know exactly what Chu Yunxi had experienced before her death in her previous life.
[Ding! The System has detected the Master's troubles. Upgrading to unlock the vision of Chu Yunxi's final moments in her previous life. Please take a look, Master.]
As the System's voice faded, Kong Wu Dao's vision blurred and distorted.
A vision that only he could see soon appeared.
It was as if he were in a vast and boundless starry sky.
Terrifying figures, like gods and Buddhas of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, were unleashing destructive Divine Abilities, engaged in fierce battle. Imperial light surged, and blood poured down!
The Reincarnation Empress and over a dozen Great Emperors were surrounded by surging Imperial might, their Imperial weapons driven to their full potential, condensing one ancient world after another!
Was this a tragic battle of the future?
At the center of the starry battlefield, Kong Wu Dao saw a figure that seemed to belong to him.
Even though the figure was blurry, its terrifying power seemed capable of suppressing the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.
From the perspective of the Reincarnation Empress, he saw "him" lift a finger and wave it gently.
A monstrous destructive force swept over, capable of destroying everything in the world!
Even those as strong as Great Emperors were as insignificant as ants before this power; their Imperial bodies instantly shattered, turning into clouds of blood mist!
With a pfft sound!
Endless blood light completely obscured the Reincarnation Empress's vision.
Faced with this desperate power, the Reincarnation Empress had no ability to resist.
She could only watch helplessly as her body was continuously torn apart and fractured, steaming Imperial blood falling constantly.
He also saw Chu Yunxi's pain, regret, and unwillingness before her death...
Soon, the vision before him vanished completely.
Kong Wu Dao was silent for a moment, understanding dawning on him.
"No wonder a dignified Empress would show such fear towards a Junior like me."
The power he possessed in the vision was so great that even he found it foreign.
A generation's Great Emperor had been crushed and pulverized like an ant; even if she eventually died, how could she be reconciled?
But this Chu Yunxi was not a complete fool.
If it were any other reborn Great Emperor, like that idiot Yao Xian, and they could retain their Great Emperor cultivation after Rebirth, they would definitely rack their brains to eliminate and kill him while he was still weak, in order to avenge their past life.
However, he did not feel even a shred of killing intent from Chu Yunxi towards him.
On the contrary, she even intended to befriend and curry favor with him.
Earlier, when he was in the Heavenly Firmament Dao Domain, he had encountered people from the Reincarnation Dao Sect.
Not only did they not oppose him, but they even said they had received orders from Chu Yunxi to come and assist him specifically.
The corners of Kong Wu Dao's mouth curled up.
It was fortunate that Chu Yunxi was a person who knew the times.
Otherwise, today would not have been him visiting alone, but the armies and Great Emperors of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone descending upon this place.
Chu Yunxi, acting as if she were a master of drama, would never have imagined that just a moment ago, she and the Reincarnation Dao Sect had already walked past the gates of the ghost realm.
"Young Divine Lord Kong Wu Dao...?"
Seeing that Kong Wu Dao had not responded for a long time, Chu Yunxi asked.
"Apologies, I was distracted for a moment."
Kong Wu Dao still wore a warm smile on his lips: "As for these people of Rebirth, I have indeed encountered one, and even had some contact."
Chu Yunxi was slightly stunned, her inner anxiety growing stronger.
Could her identity as a person of Rebirth actually have been exposed?
When Kong Wu Dao brought up this topic for no reason, was he deliberately hinting that he already knew her identity?
"Really?"
"Then could Young Divine Lord Kong Wu Dao tell me, what exactly is so strange and miraculous about these people of Rebirth? Let me broaden my horizons as well?"
Seeing that Chu Yunxi still acted as if she did not understand, it was within Kong Wu Dao's expectations.
The best way to manipulate a person's heart was to slowly erode their psychological defenses step by step.
This effect was far more terrifying and significant than directly piercing and shattering their defenses.
"It is a coincidence. When I, this Divine Lord, traveled to the Heavenly Firmament Dao Domain some time ago, I happened to encounter such a person."
"This guy seemed to be a Great Emperor in his previous life and harbored quite a lot of hostility towards this Divine Lord. In order to clear out this unstable factor, I naturally erased him at the first Opportunity."
"I, this Junior, could be considered to have had a great Opportunity. After killing this person of Rebirth, I obtained some of his memories and roughly understood what this person of Rebirth was all about."
"After such existences are reborn, they generally possess the memories of their previous lives, and can even know about many things that will happen in the future, thereby changing and influencing the historical progress of future generations."
Listening to Kong Wu Dao's narration, Chu Yunxi felt increasingly uneasy, and her suppressed state of mind even began to waver.
Was it true or false?
The person killed by Kong Wu Dao was actually a Great Emperor in their previous life?
Was there really such a coincidence in the world?
Could it be that she was not the only person of Rebirth in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens?
"However, it is a great pity."
But immediately following, Kong Wu Dao changed the subject: "The memories possessed by this person of Rebirth only involved the previous era and could not involve the future era."
Kong Wu Dao sighed with great regret: "Sigh! If he had possessed memories of the future era, I would not have killed him directly, but would have chosen to keep him well and extract his maximum value!"
Chu Yunxi, who was listening intently on the side, had, at some point, developed a strange expression.
It seemed to be shock, and it also seemed to be surprise.
Kong Wu Dao knew that his seemingly intentional yet unintentional remarks had already shaken Chu Yunxi's inner defenses.
It was time to take the most critical step.
"Senior Yunxi, you tell me, is it possible for there to be a person of Rebirth in this world who possesses memories of the future era?"
"And could the previous life of this person of Rebirth also be a Great Emperor?"
[Detected that the state of mind of the Heavenly Mandate Anomaly Chu Yunxi has been greatly shaken. 2500 heavenly mandate points have been deducted from the opponent, leaving 177,500 points!]
[Congratulations to the Master for triggering a double critical hit, successfully obtaining 10,000 heavenly mandate points!]
[Given that the Master has adopted the taming route, Chu Yunxi has been tamed by 2%!]
[Current taming level is: 6% (4% was already tamed before this plot)]
Kong Wu Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting that this could also increase the opponent's taming level.
However, one could only say that she lived up to being an Empress among the Heavenly Mandate Anomalies.
The difficulty of taming was indeed quite high.
But he was willing to attempt such challenging things.
Likewise, after such probing, Kong Wu Dao had already confirmed that the other party was definitely a person of Rebirth.
And there was a very high probability that she knew the historical development of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens in the future.
For such an existence, he had to find a way to make her useful to him.
Of course, if she truly did not know what was good for her, then things he could not obtain, he would have to destroy.
