"Husband?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen was so surprised his jaw almost dropped. Such words couldn't be spoken carelessly.
How did she call him husband?
Furthermore, he was currently possessing a priestess of the Mother God Cult. How did she identify him as Zhang Chen?
In his previous life, although Mo Ran's memory was wiped after rebirth, she still felt a natural closeness to Mo Pai.
It was likely that Xi La in this life felt the same.
Xi La tilted her head and looked at Zhang Chen for a moment, then shook her head, her expression complicated.
"You resemble him, yet you don't..."
*Swish!*
As soon as the words fell, Xi La's scythe-like arm directly sliced the body Zhang Chen possessed in half.
"This..."
Zhang Chen was utterly speechless. He didn't know why Xi La was so violent, killing without hesitation.
As the consciousness of the possessed body was about to dissipate, Zhang Chen saw the surrounding Mother God Cult followers fleeing in panic. Spiders from the top of the giant tree descended from the sky, also joining the slaughter.
"Heart-shaped island... a black sea..."
Xi La muttered to herself as she killed.
Zhang Chen returned to the consciousness world once more.
Since distance and location were irrelevant in the consciousness world, Zhang Chen couldn't find Xi La, nor could he discern which individuals were members of the Mother God Cult.
"A heart-shaped island, a black sea? What does that mean?"
Zhang Chen repeated Xi La's words in a daze.
"I should return to my own body first, and let Deloris and the secret guards of the True God Cult search for this place."
"This place must be very important to Xi La!"
With a thought, Zhang Chen's consciousness returned to his original body.
When Zhang Chen awoke, the sky was already bright.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, whether it was a night or many days.
Miaoyin was by his side. Seeing him awake, she jumped up excitedly.
"Master is awake, Master is awake!"
She shouted excitedly as she ran out.
Her clear and pleasant voice echoed through the corridor.
"This little one, truly..."
Looking at the adorable Miaoyin, Zhang Chen couldn't help but smile.
After a short while, the sound of rustling footsteps came from the corridor.
Then, the door was pushed open, and a group of women entered.
Deloris, the three little kittens, the clan leaders of the Beast Ear tribe, and the Elven Queens.
In an instant, the entire room was packed full.
Everyone's faces showed expressions of concern, tension, and even curiosity.
For some of the Beast Ear tribe leaders, this was indeed their first time meeting Zhang Chen so closely.
Zhang Chen felt the same, looking at the strange Beast Ear people around him with great emotion.
Cat ears, rabbit ears, ram horns, centaurs, mermaids, and so on... it was like stepping into a fairy tale world.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"27 days!"
Deloris replied.
"Huh? I slept that long?"
Zhang Chen sat up in bed, his joints making cracking sounds.
This body had indeed not been active for a long time.
"Now, surrounding countries have declared the True God Cult as their state religion, with only a few countries still stubbornly resisting. We have already mobilized our armies to encircle and suppress them, and they should change their minds soon."
"Our expeditionary force has marched towards the World Tower and will completely eradicate the remnants of the Black Tail Swallow Legion."
Deloris reported from the side.
After the last great battle, the situation between the two sides immediately reversed.
More than half of the Allied Forces surrendered. The remaining countries, having lost the Black Tail Swallow Legion as their support, and due to their own vested interests, had become a scattered mess, difficult to unite again.
The True God Cult was unprecedentedly powerful, and it seemed that unifying the world was within reach.
Only Zhang Chen knew that all of this was merely an illusion, and the true mastermind had yet to reveal themselves.
The current peace and prosperity were only temporary.
