Chapter 492: Chapter 244: Hunted by the God!! (20,000-Word Update 2/5)_4

"Just like what you saw earlier, the power she used to slow down time and immobilize people." Jiang Wei explained, "That’s not truly the power of the book, it’s a projection of her bloodline, a trace of its power."

"So that book... is fake?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Fang Qingyu recalled the ancient book that disintegrated and dissipated.

"You can’t really call it fake." Jiang Wei tilted her head slightly, as if searching for the right words, "That projection’s power is enough for her to manifest a ’shadow’ of ’Entropy of Time’, and to use some superficial power of space-time. But this power... is tied to her bloodline."

She paused, her little face earnestly watching Fang Qingyu: "This trace of projection power cannot be seized by others. Once the witch dies, the projection will dissipate, just like earlier."

Fang Qingyu suddenly understood: "I see... so that’s why you said you can’t let her go? Because she knows you?"

Jiang Wei nodded her little head vigorously, a flash of solemnity crossing her clear eyes: "Yes. If she escapes and reports my presence here back to the Life Ghost side..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Fang Qingyu already understood the consequences.

Wherever Jiang Wei is, there will be no peace!

Countless Life Ghosts like the Time Erosion Witch, or even stronger, would swarm in like sharks smelling blood.

All for capturing her, this "Princess".

Fang Qingyu’s heart felt heavy.

After a moment of silence, digesting this shocking information, he asked the most crucial question:

"So... ’Entropy of Time’, is it a Divine Armament?"

He stared intently into Jiang Wei’s eyes. The power displayed by that book was too bizarrely powerful, far exceeding the capabilities of ordinary Life Ghosts.

Listening, Jiang Wei slightly furrowed her little brows, a thoughtful expression appearing.

Her small hand unconsciously squeezed the plastic stick of the lollipop.

"Not sure." She shook her head, her voice carrying an unusual tinge of confusion, "Unless we see the true form... but this hypothesis seems to have been... rejected before."

"Rejected?" Fang Qingyu pursued, "By whom?"

Jiang Wei didn’t answer this question, instead continuing in a low voice: "It’s said to be... bloodline inheritance."

Bloodline inheritance?

Fang Qingyu’s brows furrowed even tighter.

What kind of bloodline could naturally hold a trace of power capable of manipulating space-time?

It’s simply astonishing.

What is the origin of the Life Ghosts’ bloodline?

He looked at Jiang Wei’s puzzled little face, his heart filled with doubts.

Rejected? Rejected by whom?

Mysteries abound.

Fang Qingyu shook his head, temporarily suppressing this question.

Then he thought of another crucial point, also the reason Jiang Wei was so eager to capture the Time Erosion Witch at the time.

He turned his head, his gaze falling on Jiang Wei’s expressionless little face, his voice involuntarily lowering, tinged with inquiry:

"You’ve been reincarnated so many times..." Fang Qingyu carefully chose his words, "Is it because these Life Ghosts have been relentlessly pursuing you?"

He recalled Jiang Wei’s occasional expression of aversion to certain High Tier Life Ghosts, and her almost instinctive lethal reaction to the Time Erosion Witch this time.

Jiang Wei’s lollipop sucking action abruptly stopped.

Her small body seemed to stiffen for a moment.

She lowered her head, long lashes casting a small shadow beneath her eyelids, obscuring her eyes’ emotions.

After several seconds, she nodded ever so slightly.

"Yes." The voice was very soft, almost blown away by the wind, "Most... is."

Jiang Wei’s lollipop sucking action suddenly stopped.

Her hands clutching her knees tightened slightly, her small body seemed to stiffen for a moment.

She slowly lifted her head, her clear Eyes of Melting Gold looking at Fang Qingyu. Those always calm and unruffled eyes now clearly reflected Fang Qingyu’s concerned face, and seemed to also flicker with a hint of extremely complex emotion.

She looked at him for a few seconds, her long eyelashes fluttering lightly like butterfly wings.

Then, slowly, very slowly, she lowered her head again.

Her small chin rested back on her knees, her gaze falling to the charred ground beneath her feet.

Just when Fang Qingyu thought she wouldn’t reply, or would nod in affirmation.

Only did she nod ever so slightly.

"Yes." The voice was very soft, almost blown away by the wind, "Most... is."

Most is?

Fang Qingyu keenly caught this keyword.

"And the rest is..." he pressed on, "unexpected disasters?"

The "unexpected" that can cause an ancient-like existence to constantly reincarnate is by no means ordinary.

Jiang Wei still kept her head down, looking at the tip of her small shoe covered with a bit of ash.

The air seemed to solidify for a few seconds.

Then, two light words drifted clearly from her small lips:

"The Gods."
