Unexpectedly, she laughed coldly and said, "That's impossible. I'm only a part of the Necromancy Illusory Matrix, not the whole thing. I can't stop any of the energy here. You've already used up all of your energy. He will still be defeated in the end. The Necromancy Illusory Matrix will never stop weakening.
"If I let you go and don't kill you, you can at least promise not to attack me again, right?" Long Chen asked calmly.
Shi Jiangling was startled. She felt that Long Chen should have gone crazy at this moment, should be extremely vicious, but he didn't. He was still very calm, even though he was doomed to fail.
In order to vent his anger, he could easily kill her. In that case, he could take revenge. Although she had stopped him, she wouldn't get any benefits. The so-called human nature was basically like this. When one was in a difficult situation, it was very difficult to have the heart to bless others.
But Long Chen didn't, he calmly made a promise with her.
Shi Jiangling still shook her head and said, "I said, you've already lost all hope."
"That's just what you think. Either die, or stand there obediently and don't move, make your choice."
An exterminated clan with only one clansman left, a person who longed for freedom, she deserved respect. Killing her to vent his anger was actually useless, no one had a choice. From the beginning to the end, Long Chen didn't feel that this little girl had done anything wrong, the one who was wrong was Ling Huang.
"I choose the latter, don't worry, I swear on the soul of the Dead Souls Race."
Shi Jiangling's eyes dimmed a little as she said helplessly.
Long Chen followed the promise and directly let go of her. He also couldn't maintain the Death Realm Dragon Gate for much longer. At this time, when he directly pulled the Death Realm Dragon Gate, he almost couldn't stand still.
This time, the Death Realm Dragon Gate once again used half of its remaining power. Now, it only had a quarter of its peak power, but the remaining corpse needed at least half of its power to destroy.
Fortunately, Shi Jiangling indeed kept her promise. She floated in the air, quietly and curiously looking at him, not moving an inch.
Long Chen took a deep breath. The current situation would undoubtedly make anyone despair, and he had the same feeling in his heart. However, he was still very calm. Right now, he was not in a hurry to consume his energy. Instead, he was thinking carefully. Once the remaining energy was used up, he would truly be defeated.
"I said, it's useless. Even if I don't make a move, the current you can't continue. You are destined to fail. Since you dared to make a bet with Ling Huang, you should be prepared to lose."
Shi Jiangling said indifferently.
As long as Long Chen's strength was exhausted, she would succeed.
However, Long Chen did not answer her. He began to immerse himself in his own world. Right now, he was sure that he could not break the Necromancy Void Matrix by relying on his own strength. Attacking would only accelerate his defeat. Therefore, he decided to use his remaining strength to exchange for a certain amount of time to seek a breakthrough.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. His entire body was in the most closed state, and his strength was at the lowest level. Perhaps he could hold on a little longer like this, at least for a few hours. If he didn't break through and awaken within these few hours, then he would definitely lose.
His previous struggle had now been declared a failure.
'He's actually sitting and waiting for death? That's indeed a good way to stall for time. However, if he loses all his strength, he definitely won't be able to break the Necromancy Void Matrix.' Shi Jiangling thought to herself.
What she found hard to understand was that Long Chen actually believed in her.
'I lied to him before, and he saw through me. In this Necromancy Void Matrix, I destroyed his only hope of success. He could have killed me to vent his anger, but he remembered that I've been bitterly waiting here for so many years in pursuit of freedom. It's really not easy, so he decided to take the risk and not kill me. With such character and willpower, he is indeed a good person. However, the Spiritual Supreme Residence is not a place that just any good person can break through. In the end, it still depends on strength …'
Long Chen's release this time caused great turmoil in her heart. Of course, she would not joke around with her freedom. The only thing she could do was to keep her promise and not make a move against Long Chen. As for whether or not Long Chen could make it out, she could only leave it to fate.
Time quietly passed.
She did not know what was the point of Long Chen sitting cross-legged like this.
Although he had a relatively long time, if he did not do anything, there would be a moment when his strength would be completely exhausted. Shi Jiangling could see that the time was almost up.
'What the hell is this guy doing?'
She was even more puzzled. Long Chen was a strange person to her. Looking at his determined face, she even had a strange thought. She suddenly looked forward to seeing what Long Chen could do in this last moment that would surprise her.
'Strange, what am I thinking? He only spared my life, but how could I forget my yearning for freedom and waiting for so many years? If I don't get out this time and reproduce, my Dead Spirit Race will be completely extinct. I don't even know if I can survive until the next person comes in.'
In fact, outsiders did not know that the Dead Spirit Race had a very strong bloodline. Generally speaking, even if they were to mate with another race, they would give birth to a very pure Dead Spirit Race. Therefore, Shi Jiangling just wanted to get out and find a male.
Otherwise, her race would really be completely extinct.
Time seemed to pass very slowly.
Long Chen tested it out. If he used the Chaotic Time Reverse in a small area and slowed the speed of the surroundings by ten times, then it would be the same inside his body, and his strength would be exhausted ten times slower. But because the Chaotic Time Reverse was very taxing even in a small area, it would exhaust at least five times faster. Therefore, with the two combined, his current speed of exhaustion was only half of what it was before.
But to think of a solution, the time was still very short.
He had placed all his hopes on the Dao of Life. Ever since he had completed the Chaotic Time Reverse, he had actually been researching the Dao of Life. Now, his consciousness was completely focused on this vast Divine Kingdom. In truth, this dragon-shaped continent was growing stronger and more perfect. Perhaps it would not be long before it would truly become a new world.
He was experiencing what the next level of the Tai Chi lifeform dragon was.
He had fused with the inheritance blood essence and awakened the fourteen-tempering.
He had seen Xiao Cao in the White Bones Divine Palace awaken the flame of life.
Now, he seemed to have used the power of the fifteen dragon heads.
People in desperate situations were often able to display extraordinary strength. Long Chen was in such a situation now. He knew that he didn't have much time left. There would be a moment when he would fail and lose his children. This challenge had been so exciting and crazy, but he had been forced to do so from beginning to end.
If he hadn't lost the Spiritual Formation, Long Chen would definitely not have chosen these two wagers.
It was because of his anger and hatred that he wanted Ling Huang to offer up the most important thing, the Venerable Spirit's inheritance. Perhaps that would be the only way to slightly alleviate Long Chen's anger this time.
Now, there was no way out, and there seemed to be a dense fog in front of him. There was also no way forward. Long Chen would be trapped here sooner or later. He had won countless times since he was young, and often no one thought that he would win. This time was the same, but this time was the most difficult.
Life, creation.
These were the two abilities of the Tai Chi lifeform dragon.
Maybe in terms of fighting, the Tai Chi lifeform dragon wasn't good at it, but it had created the world, created everything, including life.
If all living creatures had a common ancestor, then that ancestor would probably be the Tai Chi lifeform dragon.
"Right, it's creation …"
The Tai Chi lifeform dragon wasn't only good at life, it was also good at creation. From nothing, it had created the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, trees, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and even corpses and origin power. The so-called origin power was all the power of the world.
Before, Long Chen had been thinking about life, so he hadn't made any progress. After all, the flame of life was already a very high level of comprehension, so he had neglected the other attribute of the Tai Chi lifeform dragon. But now he saw his whole divine nation. Although everything here was very small, it had everything, and the divine nation also had a certain amount of origin power.
The Tai Chi lifeform dragon's divine abilities were all contained in the Life Dao-seal. It wasn't difficult for Long Chen to comprehend them, but he needed to find the keys, the keys to unlock these divine abilities.
As for keys, they were often produced in desperate situations, or in ingenious realms. For example, right now, Long Chen was in a desperate situation. Whatever he needed, he could think of it. Although time was tight, he felt like a fountain of ideas. He was like a writer who suddenly had countless inspirations.
He looked at the continent of his divine nation. There were fourteen peaks. Flame, lightning, sun, moon, and so on. These fourteen peaks supported the entire continent, and each type of energy fused with each other, transforming into each other, maintaining the balance of the continent. If one type of energy was lacking, the other types of energy would be transformed, complementing each other.
In truth, there were far more than fourteen types of energy in this world.
But just by relying on these fourteen types of energy, one could transform all of them. For example, water could be transformed into ice, or four types could be fused together to create a new type of energy.
"That's right, transformation."
Creation, transformation.
Long Chen deeply understood the meaning of this word, and he suddenly felt enlightened. He was pleasantly surprised to find that in this hopeless situation of certain death, he had found the key to opening the Life Dao-seal. Now, the Life Dao-seal was actually trembling, and countless information was being bestowed to Long Chen.
This key opened a treasure trove.
During his battle with Primeval Troll's will avatar, Long Chen had been the key to opening the Death Realm Dragon Gate.
The special environment of the Sea of Time was the key to opening the Chaotic Sea of Time for Long Chen.
