Chapter 411: Secret!
Chen Ke Xuan looked at Li Xiang, then at Chen Sisi, "You... established an Emotional Lock? Your Intimacy reached 100?!"
Hearing the words 'Intimacy' from the mouth of someone who should have been an NPC, Li Xiang felt a bit out of place, but thinking that Chen Ke Xuan's World had also experienced the invasion of the Source of the Universe, he no longer felt out of place.
Li Xiang nodded, "Yes."
Chen Ke Xuan thought for a moment, "If that's the case... shouldn't you call me Father-in-law?"
Li Xiang: ...
Is that the point?!
Wang Yuanyuan rolled his eyes at his friend, looking at Li Xiang and Chen Sisi with a complicated expression.
How difficult it was to establish an Emotional Lock; besides Chen Ke Xuan, the only other person he knew of was the one before him.
Chen Yixue was the most confused; since just now, she hadn't known what these people were talking about.
What Emotional Lock... What Intimacy...
The most crucial thing was the Emperor's words.
Asking this young man to call him Father-in-law...
Doesn't that mean this person is her brother-in-law?!
Someone she casually hired back then actually became her brother-in-law?!
Chen Yixue felt how small this World was...
She actually encountered such a minuscule probability.
Chen Ke Xuan thought for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "I know why you've come.
Just like me back then, you don't want to be separated from Chen Sisi's mother, and you also don't want to leave your own faction..."
Hearing her mother mentioned, Chen Sisi stared at Chen Ke Xuan.
No matter what, the person before her was her father, and she needed his help this time.
"Emperor... do you have a way to solve this?"
Hearing Chen Sisi's address to him, Chen Ke Xuan felt bitterness in his heart.
"A way... it's not that there isn't one. Well... Chen Sisi... how about we make a deal?"
Chen Sisi stared at Chen Ke Xuan, "Speak."
"If I help you resolve this matter, will you call me Father, okay?"
Hearing his words, Li Xiang's eyes lit up.
This showed that Chen Ke Xuan had a way to solve it.
Chen Sisi furrowed her brows, looking at Li Xiang.
After seeing the light in Li Xiang's eyes, she nodded, "I understand."
Chen Ke Xuan was so happy he almost jumped up, completely losing his appearance as an Emperor.
"Old Wang, Yixue, you two go out first."
Wang Yuanyuan nodded and went out with Chen Yixue.
Inside the imperial palace, only Li Xiang, Chen Sisi, and Chen Ke Xuan remained.
Chen Ke Xuan spoke, "Regarding the Source of the Universe, how much do you know?"
Facing this question, Chen Sisi was just as confused as Li Xiang.
After becoming a Title Holder, she understood more of the secrets of this World, but it wasn't extremely specific or detailed.
She only knew that to Li Xiang and these otherworlders, she was an invader, and sooner or later, they would stand on opposing sides and completely kill each other...
Participating in the final battle was her duty and responsibility, and also the reason this World nurtured her.
Chen Ke Xuan slowly said, "Chen Sisi... after your mother joined my faction, because of her Demon Clan identity, she was not tolerated by the people at the time, so I took her and fled."
Fleeing all the way... with Old Wang's help, we fled to a place no one could find.
But... the 'no one could find' here was limited to ordinary beings...
Before God... we had nowhere to hide, fleeing anywhere was useless."
God?!
There really is God?!
Or is it another name for the Source of the Universe?
Chen Ke Xuan looked at Li Xiang, "The Divine Gear on you is very powerful; that must be the root cause of your ability to kill Title Holders."
Li Xiang nodded.
Only by possessing the Unlimited Synthesis, this Divine-grade ability, was he able to reach today, starting to lead with Divine Artifacts from the Novice Village stage, and continuing to lead ever since, invincible in the World.
"Divine Gear, also known as Mythical-grade equipment, is equipment that only exists in myth, and generally only God is qualified to equip it.
Under the operation of the Source of the Universe, in order to balance the strength of both sides in the battle, the side being invaded was granted the authority over weakened Divine Gear.
This is also the source of the Divine Gear on you.
However..."
Chen Ke Xuan showed a look of doubt, "I've never seen the god-level equipment on you; it doesn't seem to be the existing Mythical-grade equipment in this World."
Li Xiang secretly nodded.
Of course, it wasn't the existing god-level equipment in this World; all of this was synthesized by himself.
"In any case, you also have a great opportunity on you.
From my words just now, you also understand that a true God exists in this World.
It's just that this God won't easily appear, not even during the Descent War.
He will only appear at some special times..."
Chen Sisi spoke, "When you and my mother fled to a place no one knew about, did God appear?"
A hint of fear appeared in Chen Ke Xuan's eyes, "Yes... God appeared.
I couldn't even see His appearance clearly... or perhaps, the God Himself had no appearance at all.
The moment He appeared, He gave me and your mother two choices: one, to be punished by Him and all die.
Second, for me and your mother to fight, and only one could survive."
His words had just fallen.
Boom!!!
A terrifying aura erupted from Chen Sisi, pointing directly at Chen Ke Xuan, her eyes filled with killing intent.
"So... you killed my mother?!"
Li Xiang frowned and looked at Chen Ke Xuan.
If that were truly the case, then this person before them...
Chen Ke Xuan's eyes were filled with pain, "Your mother and I also had an Emotional Lock; we truly loved each other. I loved her deeply, so how could I kill her..."
"Then how did my mother die?!" Chen Sisi asked sharply.
Chen Ke Xuan slowly said, "After hearing the proposal given by the God, neither your mother nor I submitted. At that time, we were both Title Holders, our strength had already reached the peak of this World.
Of course, we wouldn't place our lives in the hands of a strange being that suddenly appeared, so... your mother and I joined forces to attack Him.
But..."
Fear and pain appeared on Chen Ke Xuan's face, "He was too strong... Your mother and I could destroy mountains and make rivers flow backward, but our attacks landed on Him without causing even a shred of damage.
He made His move and decided to kill us all.
The first one to be executed was me...
I died... Under the God's attack, I had no means to evade. My spatial abilities, which I was famous for, were completely ineffective before Him."
"After that, your mother also died...
But... your mother's title was Sage of Life, a rare five-character Title Holder in the World... Before dying, your mother revived me at the cost of shattering her Soul.
I was revived..."
Saying this, hot tears were already streaming down Chen Ke Xuan's face.
Chen Sisi remained unmoved, "The God didn't kill you again?!"
Chen Ke Xuan clenched his fists, "In the God's eyes, we were just ants.
He had already killed us all once, so He didn't kill me after I was revived again. Perhaps in His eyes, His mission was complete.
The mission He received was that only one of us could live..."
