The Demon Lotus Emperor had always known that within Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness, there existed a dark Gray Area, a region that even he could not approach. He had lingered in Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness for quite some time, and as his Mental Strength gradually increased, he became acutely aware of the terrifying nature of Wei Chen's mind.
In that dark Gray Area, it seemed as if some primordial beast was lurking, and even with the strength of the Demon Lotus Emperor's Mental Strength, he dared not venture too close.
He understood deeply that each time he approached that Gray Area, it would issue him a warning.
The warning bore no words, and the Demon Lotus Emperor could not decipher what it truly meant.
But he was well aware that should he force himself closer, his very soul would be in peril—immense peril.
Perhaps a moment's inattention could lead to his demise, leaving even his final Soul Body reduced to ashes.
That area was a forbidden zone within Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
Perhaps the elder before him could see through that region?
The Demon Lotus Emperor looked at the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler and respectfully bowed, saying, "Senior, as far as I know, there is a black-gray area within Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness. Can you discern what lies hidden there?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen was taken aback. What was going on here?
He quickly communicated with the Demon Lotus Emperor, "Demon Lotus Emperor, is there something Strange in my Sea of Consciousness?"
"Well," the Demon Lotus Emperor replied, "your Sea of Consciousness is not currently as powerful as mine or Red Boy's. However, this senior has chosen you, which must mean he sees something in your Sea of Consciousness—a region that cannot be probed. I don't know what exactly lies within that area, but it likely holds some unknown power that led the elder to choose you."
"An unknown area? Even you cannot probe it?"
"That's right, my Mental Strength isn't strong enough yet. Just look at this old man; he must know something, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen you. My Sea of Consciousness is about ten times broader than yours right now, and even the Red Boy's Sea of Consciousness is stronger than yours. There's no reason for him to choose you."
The two exchanged a few quick words before their gazes turned toward the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler.
The old man hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I chose you precisely because there is an unknown area within your Sea of Consciousness that even I cannot probe. How vast that area is, no one can say for sure."
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler then looked at the Demon Lotus Emperor and the Red Boy, sighing, "If I were to give you all my Mental Strength, you would die instantly."
"I have no choice; I can only try it on you."
The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler looked at Wei Chen earnestly.
Wei Chen was at a loss for words. This senior's Mental Strength was so formidable that it could repel beings at the level of Ancient World’s Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Just how terrifying must that vast Mental Strength be?
So much Mental Strength that even the Demon Lotus Emperor and the Red Boy would be obliterated instantly—was it really reasonable for all that power to be directed solely at him?
Wei Chen felt confused; one misstep could lead to his immediate demise.
Previously, he had held onto the hope that perhaps his Sea of Consciousness was indeed broader than that of the Demon Lotus Emperor and the Red Boy, which was why this powerful Soul Beast Mountain Ruler had chosen him. But the reality was that both his Mental Strength and the breadth of his Sea of Consciousness were inferior to those two. How could he possibly compete?
The old man clearly understood that if the Demon Lotus Emperor and the Red Boy inherited his Mental Strength, they would die in an instant.
So what about him?
What fate awaited him?
Wei Chen was in agony, feeling utterly helpless in the face of this situation.
"Should I just refuse? Opportunities like this are rare; to be able to confront the Mental Strength of an Ancient World Supreme Being is something that won’t come again. If I miss it, there will be no second chance."
"But if I agree, I might end up dead in an instant."
Wei Chen's face showed a deep conflict. Anyone in his position would feel the same turmoil.
The old man looked at Wei Chen and said calmly, "Fellow, you actually have no choice. Besides you, I cannot find anyone else who has the hope of confronting that powerful being. Only you. If you refuse, once I am gone, that powerful being will come in ten years. At that time, it will be your Black Magic Clan that suffers, or even the entire Demon Realm. If your Reprint is exposed, can you survive?"
The old man sighed lightly and continued, "If I could hold on longer, I would never take this risk. For you, this is an adventure; for me, it’s the same."
"You have no idea how vast that unknown area is or how to choose wisely. You can decide for yourself. If you do not wish to inherit my Mental Strength, I will not force it upon you. As for the threat from the Ancient World Powerhouse to the Demon Realm, you all can figure out how to deal with it."
With that, the old man fell silent. He had already said more than enough.
Whether Wei Chen chose to accept or not was entirely up to him; the old man would not insist.
However, deep down, the old man harbored some hopes regarding the Gray Area within Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness. He could hardly imagine that even with his formidable Mental Strength, he was unable to probe into that Gray Area.
Wei Chen was at a loss about what to do.
The Demon Lotus Emperor quietly transmitted a message: "Wei Chen, what are your thoughts?"
"I don't know. This senior's Mental Strength is simply too strong; perhaps I might die from his overwhelming Mental Strength," Wei Chen replied lightly.
"Demon Lotus Emperor" said, "But you have to give it a try, right? Opportunities like this are rare; if you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
"Red Boy" also communicated with "Wei Chen," saying, "Wei Chen, you have no idea how terrifying the power of the Supreme Beings in the Ancient World is. Even if there's only a one percent chance, you must attempt it. A man must act when necessary; even if you ultimately fail, at least you tried."
Both "Demon Lotus Emperor" and "Red Boy" were urging "Wei Chen," but he still couldn't make up his mind.
It wasn't that he lacked courage or was afraid of death; it was that he couldn't let go of those women.
In the Demon Realm, "Yan Qiqi" was still waiting for him. If you counted "Ji Min," that made two.
In the Soul World, there were also "Weirou," "Mu Qingyan," "Snow Cicada," "Ji Mei," and other women waiting for him.
He didn't just live for himself; he had to consider those women as well.
"Wei Chen" said to "Demon Lotus Emperor," "What about your long-cherished wish? If something happens to me, won't the 'Demon Lotus Heart' you gave me be wasted? Besides, don't you want to return to the Hua Xia World and wreak havoc? If I die, I won't be able to help you at all."
"It’s precisely because you have my 'Demon Lotus Heart' that you’ve transcended the Three Realms and are no longer bound by the Five Elements. You won't easily die. In fact, you won't die at all; your name isn't even on the Book of Life and Death."
"Then what were you worried about before?"
"I was worried that you'd be struck into a fool. Your body might not die, and you'd retain your Three Souls and Seven Spirits, but if those were all gone, you'd be no different from a dead person. That's what I was concerned about; I’m not worried about your complete death. Transcending the Three Realms means there's no possibility of dying."
Upon hearing this, "Wei Chen" felt even more conflicted. Being struck into a fool by powerful Mental Strength was no different from dying—perhaps it would be worse than death.
"Wei Chen" looked at the old man and said with a bitter smile, "Senior, is there no gentler way? For example, could we transfer a portion first and do it in batches?"
"No, if it were that simple, would I need to evaluate so many people? Young man, show some determination. Why hesitate? You have no choice in this matter. Are you really that afraid of death?"
The old man looked at Wei Chen with disdain, genuine contempt evident in his eyes, making Wei Chen feel somewhat embarrassed.
It was still the same point; it wasn't that he was afraid of death, but rather that his women were waiting for him. He couldn't act recklessly.
At that moment, the Demon Lotus Emperor transmitted a message: "Wei Chen, agree to him. He is right; if the Great Beings from the Ancient World descend into the Demon Realm, no one will be able to withstand them. This is your only chance; you cannot afford to miss it. In ten years, relying solely on your own cultivation, you will never reach the level of this senior."
Red Boy added, "Wei Chen, agree to him. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, it's worth trying. You haven't been to the Ancient World; you can't imagine how powerful its experts are."
The Demon Lotus Emperor continued, "Moreover, if you don't agree, can you really remain unscathed? You are from the Demon Realm and part of the Black Magic Clan. Can you bear to see the Black Magic Clan suffer?"
"But what about that Gray Area in my Sea of Consciousness? What exactly is hidden there? How vast is that space? Demon Lotus Emperor, it's easy for you to talk; can you calculate my chances of survival? What if Senior Liu's Mental Strength invades and I end up as a fool? If what you say is true and I am someone who transcends the Three Realms and exists outside the Five Elements, then I wouldn't die but become a vegetable—wouldn't that just be a burden?" Wei Chen replied calmly.
"Don't worry; if it comes to that, I'll give you a quick end."
The Demon Lotus Emperor smirked coldly at Wei Chen.
If Wei Chen still refused to agree, he would genuinely look down on him. Such a great opportunity—if it were him or Red Boy in this situation, they would have tried everything to seize it.
But they overlooked one thing: Wei Chen had a family. He was deeply loyal and could not disregard life and death like they could.
The Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy had no familial "burdens," so they naturally didn't care about life or death. With so many women depending on him, if Wei Chen truly disregarded life and death, it would be irresponsible to himself and those women.
Wei Chen's expression was torn and conflicted. Though he was reluctant, he deeply understood that he had no other choice.
At many times, life does not go as you wish; there are too many disappointments and frustrations. All you need to do is make a choice.
Wei Chen's choice, in the end, was to agree.
He looked at the old man and nodded slightly, saying, "Senior, let's begin."
Seeing that Wei Chen had ultimately agreed, a look of relief appeared on the old man's face. Truly, he had been worried that Wei Chen might back out; if that happened, who would he turn to for help? Soul Beast Mountain would soon be doomed.
"Child, since you have agreed, there are some things I need to clarify for you first."
The old man looked seriously at Wei Chen and continued, "I am a spirit entity that has cultivated my Mental Strength. Once I transfer all of my Mental Strength to you, I will immediately disappear—completely vanish. The cultivation over the next ten years will determine the safety of the Demon Realm; everything will depend solely on you."
You will die immediately?
Although he had suspected some of this beforehand, when the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler finally revealed himself, Wei Chen still found it hard to accept.
"Senior, is it too cruel to exchange your life for something uncertain?" Wei Chen asked.
He added silently in his heart: "It is both cruel and selfish!"
