"Am I crazy? Perhaps, if we consider 'All-Amons' as Amon, then Amon, split into so many different facets and possessing so many personality types, is undoubtedly very crazy... but as a separate personality, I am very rational," Amon said with a smile.
Xiao Meng sat in the chair, stretching lazily, crossing her legs, leaning forward, resting her elbows on her legs, and supporting her chin with her hands:
"My falling in love with Xiao Yan's destiny was decided by you. My emotions and thinking logic were all given by you. Even the changes in the lowest level of personality were indulged by you. So the root of all problems lies with you... who else is crazy if not you?"
Amon sat opposite Xiao Meng, staring at her, and said noncommittally:
"Maybe, but your emotions are so..."
He looked around the room at the Xiao Yan-related items, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"Hmm... fervent."
"Emotions themselves are fervent, rich, and burst forth from the depths of the human soul, aren't they?"
Xiao Meng smiled and sent a mental connection request to Amon.
The latter hesitated for a moment and then refused.
Xiao Meng leaned back against the wide and high back of the chair, the corners of her mouth pulled back to a great extent, outlining a slightly crazy smile:
"Why refuse? What are you worried about?"
Amon's main body's smile remained unchanged, still gentle:
"It's not so easy to shift my will, but it will affect your state...
"As you said, emotions are fervent and rich, and my will is more rational and colder.
"If this cold will affects your fervent emotions, then 'Xiao Meng' may cease to exist."
Xiao Meng clicked her tongue and said nothing.
Amon thought for two seconds and stated the main purpose of his visit to Xiao Meng:
"Report on your recent gains and pass on the skill of the 'Invisible Hand' to me."
Xiao Meng's fingers moved slightly, and a mental message shot towards Amon.
Amon used a spiritual worm to receive the message from Xiao Meng, filtered the thinking will within it, and then incorporated it into his main body.
It's not that he's worried that the clone might be detrimental to the main body or anything. No matter how much he allows the clone to develop freely, he would never open up certain deepest things to the clone. The clone is bound to have limitations.
But the absence of subjective malice does not mean that it will not bring harm. Being friendly does not necessarily mean that there is no threat.
It's like the Hidden Sage in 'Battle Through the Heavens' imparting knowledge. He may simply be acting on instinct, or 'enjoying teaching', but the recipient needs to face great danger.
The knowledge that Xiao Meng passed over included the use and creation ideas of the 'Invisible Hand'.
This Dou Technique relies on its own spatial characteristics and was not originally used for combat, but for stealing.
If the target is not vigilant, it can steal items from the opponent's storage ring without them knowing.
There is a possibility of failure for existences like peak Dou Emperor who faintly touch the power of space, but most targets below that will not fail.
However, it is also very useful in combat. Although the spatial nature is not strong, the 'Invisible Hand' cannot carry too much Dou Qi through space when used, which will cause the micro-space channel formed thereby to be unstable, but coupled with the 'Seal' talent, it can pose a great threat to the opponent.
Because not much Dou Qi is carried, the sealing effect is also very weak, and the effective time will not be too long, but two or three seconds in battle is enough to determine the victory.
"A very interesting skill, a great creation... it seems you have perfectly inherited my talent," Amon praised.
"Tch... shameless main body," Xiao Meng curled her lips.
"Anything else?"
Xiao Meng remained silent and sent another message to Amon.
This time, it included her induction and organization of the Dou Skill system, summarizing some basic principles, which can integrate the running routes of some simple Dou Techniques into some ordinary actions, so that every move in battle can obtain the enhancement of low-level Dou Techniques.
This is not a very creative move, because for those strong people, Dou Techniques have become their instinct. Their ordinary punches instinctively run part of the Dou Qi running route in their familiar Dou Techniques.
However, to reach this level, one must first become a Dou Ancestor powerhouse at the very least. Some Dou Emperor and Dou King may also be able to do it, but only for some actions that they are very familiar with.
The smile on Amon's face grew stronger. Xiao Meng improved his combat power again:
"I think you should be more than that. Have you cultivated the most critical thing?"
"Of course." Xiao Meng smiled charmingly and slowly raised her right hand. At her fingertips, a golden flame flickered.
This flame is both illusory and real. It contains countless thread-like patterns inside. The golden threads are intertwined and fused, giving people a contradictory feeling of both chaos and order.
Based on the characteristics of Amon's own destiny, and taking the opportunity of deeply influencing and combining with Xiao Yan's destiny, the flame that was ignited is the 'Fire of Destiny'!
Amon's own Beast Flame!
Amon's eyes widened a little, staring at the golden flame in Xiao Meng's hand:
"It really succeeded? This is a bit beyond my expectations. I thought the rules in the 'Battle Through the Heavens' world would be buried in a deeper level and be more difficult to touch."
Xiao Meng chuckled: "Generally, that's the case, but we chose a very good entry point. The characteristics that 'Amon' himself possesses are already high enough in this Dou Qi plane. In addition, 'Xiao Yan's destiny' is also very special... If it were the Great Thousand World, it would be much more difficult to excavate 'destiny'."
She waved her hand, and the golden flame fell on the body of the host Xiao Meng, who was thrown aside like a broken doll. The ordinary body was ignited, distorted, and became illusory under the burning of the power of destiny.
After the flame burned for a while, it began to shrink. The 'host Xiao Meng' had disappeared, leaving only the glittering golden crystals like residue after the burning of destiny. This is the residue left by destiny.
The Fire of Destiny wrapped the residue and returned to Xiao Meng, or rather Amon's hand. She swallowed the residue into her belly, occupying the destiny of the host Xiao Meng.
At this moment, the established destiny was changed.
Originally, Amon was parasitic on the body of the host Xiao Meng, following Xiao Yan as a maid.
But now the host Xiao Meng has disappeared, and Amon has replaced her position.
She is no longer following Xiao Yan as a parasite, but from the beginning, she entered Xiao Yan's sight with her current, own body.
Although it is very subtle and has hardly caused any substantial impact, it has indeed distorted destiny!
...
Xiao Yan, who was chasing the people from Tian Snake Mansion who had kidnapped Qing Lin and came to Salt City, suddenly stopped, and a sense of loss rose in his heart.
"What's wrong? Xiao Yan." Hai Bodong-Amon, who was lured by the 'Rejuvenating Purple Pill' to become Xiao Yan's temporary bodyguard, asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, I just feel like I've forgotten something."
That moment of hesitation made him lose track of the people from Tian Snake Mansion.
"Catch the assassin..."
"They are right there!"
"There are two of them, don't let them run away, they are the ones who killed Elder Mo Cheng!"
"Mo Cheng? The Mo family of Salt City... an outer sect deacon of the Yun Lan Sect, it seems we've been made scapegoats." Hai Bodong said in a low voice.
"Let's withdraw..." Xiao Yan was a little uneasy. Although he felt guilty and regretful for not being able to retrieve Qing Lin, he was uneasy at the moment and felt dazed all over.
In the Mo family's mansion, the Mo family head, Mo Lan, communicated with the spiritual worm in his body: "Is it okay to frame them like this? Will someone from the Yun Lan Sect come to hold us accountable."
"You think too highly of Mo Cheng. To the Yun Lan Sect, he is just an insignificant character... Moreover, you have already taken action, is there any point in asking these questions?" The spiritual worm let out a burst of laughter.
Mo Lan sighed and his eyes changed from hesitation to firmness.
...
Xun Er suddenly woke up from her sleep, panting heavily, with a sense of trance and unreality.
After putting on her clothes, she came to the window.
A bright moon hung in the night sky, and the moonlight was like water, pouring down on the earth.
Under the moonlight, the night did not appear dark.
Xun Er stared at the sky, she felt like she had a dream, a dream where she had a very good friend.
The friend was gone, replaced by something indescribable.
No, the friend was just a shell, but that indescribable thing has now abandoned this shell, revealing its original form.
So, is my friend the shell, or the indescribable thing? Xun Er pondered for a moment, then threw the strange thoughts out of her mind.
Why would I have such a strange dream? Am I too tired?
Xun Er had no sleepiness and stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky.
After a while, she suddenly spoke: "Elder Ling, are you there?"
"Miss, what are your orders for calling this old servant?" Ling Ying respectfully knelt on one knee in front of Xun Er.
"How has Xiao Yan been lately?" Xun Er asked softly.
"The latest news I received is that Young Master Xiao Yan used unknown means to steal the Green Lotus Core Flame from the Snake-People tribe in the Tager Desert. He is probably on his way to the Jia Ma Empire's capital now, after all... the appointed time is approaching." Ling Ying replied fluently.
"He stole the Heavenly Flame from the Snake-People tribe, as expected of Xiao Yan... That is the Snake-People tribe that even Yun Shan suffered a loss from. It's been almost three years since that day, Xiao Yan, you should regain your dignity and glory..." A shallow smile hung on Xun Er's face, muttering to herself.
After a moment, she put away her smile and said to Ling Ying with a serious expression: "Elder Ling, go to Xiao Yan's side and be sure to protect his safety. I'm worried that the Yun Lan Sect may be detrimental to him after losing."
"But Miss, your safety..." Ling Ying hesitated.
"I have the means left by my father, and no one in this Northwest Continent can hurt me." Xun Er responded.
Ling Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes."
