"Fading?"

Lord Charm Erosion's voice was filled with astonishment: "What is going on?"

Just now, Lord Charm Erosion and Lin Chen were in a frenzy of battle, how could they notice the changes within the star core?

Moreover, ever since Lord Charm Erosion possessed the star core, the branding of the Abyss Lord had always existed without any changes, so she never bothered to check, nor dared to check.

If she investigated the star core's internal branding of the Abyss Lord and got discovered by the Abyss Lord, wouldn't that be courting death?

Hearing Lin Chen's words now, Lord Charm Erosion immediately began probing, and with a single probe, even she was shocked.

"Indeed, the Master's branding is continuously fading, what's happening?"

Lord Charm Erosion herself was bewildered, but the next second, her eyes gleamed as she suddenly figured out the answer.

"It's the kryptonite!"

Lord Charm Erosion shouted in surprise: "The energy of the kryptonite can cause the energy within the star core to become extremely chaotic, continuously impacting the branding within the star core repeatedly."

"Because all the energy inside has become entirely disordered, the branding has also been shattered, the rules within the branding fragmented, thus the branding naturally couldn't be maintained."

Perceiving the changes within the star core, Lord Charm Erosion was instantly overjoyed.

"The kryptonite actually nullified the Abyss Lord's control over me, I am free, haha, I am free..."

Lord Charm Erosion, ecstatic, burst into excited cries, but the next second, her laughter suddenly halted.

Lord Charm Erosion looked at Lin Chen ahead with complex eyes, she suddenly came to her senses. Even if she was fortunate to remove the branding of the Abyss Lord, so what?

If she wanted to live, she had to entrust her life to Lin Chen and prove her loyalty, showing that she would not betray in the future.

If she couldn't solve this problem, then whether controlled or not, she would die here today, having no future.

"Lin Chen, you may leave a trace of your primordial spirit within my star core. If I make a move against you, the primordial spirit you left within my star core can instantly kill me. Even if I harbor ill intentions and make a move against you, your primordial spirit can avenge you naturally."

"I just want to live, so I wouldn't kill you, only obey your orders. To speak from the heart, obeying your orders and obeying the Abyss Lord's orders, I am more willing to obey you."

Lin Chen asked coldly: "Why?"

Lord Charm Erosion smiled bitterly: "The Abyss Lord hides in the void; we can't even see him, our lives are at his mercy. This feeling of being completely suppressed is very uncomfortable."

"Though you also manipulate my life and death, you are, after all, a living person, visible and tangible, able to communicate normally. The feeling is clearly different."

Lin Chen was silent for two seconds: "Are you willing?"

Lord Charm Erosion smiled helplessly: "If I said willing, you wouldn't believe it. If there were a choice, who would want their life controlled by others? However, since the day we were created, our lives have been controlled, we are accustomed to it. Now, it's just a different person controlling."

"Compared to my companions who have been killed, being able to live now is already a great fortune. Besides, though your strength is a bit weaker, whether in intellect or skills, you're top-notch. Serving you isn't too aggrieved."

Lin Chen acknowledged Lord Charm Erosion's words, as they sounded genuine.

If Lord Charm Erosion had the opportunity to counter-kill him, she would undoubtedly take action to restore her freedom. However, as long as he didn't give her that chance, she had to be obediently controlled by him.

"Alright, I believe it!"

Lin Chen nodded and no longer hesitated, directly branding his mark within Lord Charm Erosion's chaos star core and then separating a trace of his primordial spirit, hiding it in the deepest part of the star core.

At this moment, Lord Charm Erosion also calmed down, no longer as frantic as before. After all, Lin Chen branding her also meant he accepted her surrender, thus she didn't need to die for the time being.

"From now on, you are my master. Master, do you have any orders?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said: "How did you come here this time?"

Lord Charm Erosion replied: "I sneaked in secretly, no one over there is aware..."

Lin Chen asked: "What about your previous identity as Chen Shimei?"

Lord Charm Erosion answered honestly: "I killed her, devoured her, and then completely transformed into her. However, she was not a Quasi-Saint, just a Daluo Peak. I only told others I had Quasi-Saint strength to blend in..."

Lin Chen pursued: "Did you come here specifically to deal with me?"

Lord Charm Erosion smiled bitterly: "It was said that you and Qingluan Immortal Monarch brought back kryptonite, but no one knew the specifics. There were five Quasi-Saints, so I didn't dare act rashly against Qingluan Immortal Monarch. Otherwise, if discovered, I would be doomed."

"Originally, you led the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch to escape, then led the Five Saints back, catching us off guard, causing great losses. The Abyss Lord punished me and required me to make merits to return to the lordship position. Thus, I thought to find you and learn about the kryptonite matter."

"Originally, I planned to devour you and transform into you, but knowing the star map spirit, even if I became you, I couldn't possess the star sky jump ability, so I changed plans, intending to turn you into my slave. However, I never expected you had many saintly means and a piece of kryptonite..."

Lin Chen sneered: "This piece of kryptonite is my secret stash, even Qingluan Immortal Monarch didn't know. If I didn't have this piece of kryptonite or these means, you would have succeeded today."

Lord Charm Erosion sighed: "That's fate."

Lin Chen asked: "If all the demons attacking the Immortal and Demon Worlds this time are killed, what will the Abyss Lord do, give up or launch another attack? Can he descend?"

Lord Charm Erosion replied: "If all the demons attacking the Immortal and Demon Worlds are killed, the plan to devour the two realms will surely be temporarily shelved. The Abyss Lord definitely won't give up, but creating such a demon army again will require considerable time."

"As for descending, his true body resides in the black hole, unable to descend in his true form. What the Five Saints saw before was his projection. If the demon clan is defeated, he will surely find a way to project again."

Lin Chen's face became solemn: "To project, must he rely on the purple crystal pillar?"

Lord Charm Erosion replied: "Yes, he must have the purple crystal pillar and sufficient sacrifices. The more sacrifices, the stronger his projection..."
