The fact that the Grand Princess woke up at this moment took Su Nan by surprise.
Without wasting time thinking, he quickly found a secluded spot and projected his consciousness outside of his body.
In foresight, he couldn't use the game panel's functions, and personal space was no exception. To use foresight, he had to retrieve his belongings first.
However, there was a problem. If the Grand Princess had the ability to leave the Qiankun Ring, she would certainly come out the moment the ring was taken out. In that case, he feared that he wouldn't have time to use foresight and would be killed before he could react.
Fortunately, the Avatar could solve this problem.
The leader of the Heavenly Wolf Clan possessed a power related to the Hidden Force, and the Grand Princess was particularly skilled in using soul power. When they were in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, even when the Grand Princess was seriously injured, she could still use her soul power to kill him instantly, as seen in his foresight.
Although he had greatly improved since then, just to be safe, it was better to use the Avatar.
The Avatar quickly left Tianyun City and headed towards the direction of the Golden Radiance Tower.
After a dozen minutes, the Avatar had traveled dozens of miles. Su Nan allowed his soul to descend into the Avatar's body.
With the arrival of his soul, the Avatar instantly transformed. Wang Nan's personal space appeared before him, and with a thought, he retrieved the Qiankun Ring from the personal space.
The ring appeared in the Avatar's hand, and to Su Nan's relief, the Avatar wasn't attacked.
"Foresight!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately used foresight.
"You learn that the Grand Princess of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, who once established a blood-soul symbiosis with you, has awakened from her coma. As the former owner of the Qiankun Ring, you are concerned that the Grand Princess may have the ability to open the Qiankun Ring."
"Fortunately, your concerns have not come true. You control the Avatar to try to probe the Qiankun Ring with your soul power and see what's inside."
"As your soul probes the Qiankun Ring, you see the Grand Princess standing inside the ring. Her face is extremely gloomy, and she has sensed your soul power probing. She immediately launches a soul attack against you."
"The Grand Princess is seriously injured, her soul is heavily damaged, with only a fraction of her soul power remaining. However, as a peak-level King, even her remaining soul power is not something you can withstand."
"Under the Grand Princess's soul power attack, your soul within the Avatar is obliterated. Fortunately, it was only a small part of your soul, so it didn't have much impact on your main body."
"Unfortunately, the subtle control effect of the blood-soul symbiosis has not taken effect within the ten-day period. The Grand Princess is still not under your control."
"Short timeframe?" Su Nan was not particularly surprised.
Blood-soul symbiosis was a subtle and gradual process. Since it was a gradual process, it naturally required a long time.
Ten days might seem short, but it was definitely not long enough.
The foresight continued.
"Your main body uses spiritual energy to quickly heal the injuries to your soul. You then once again let a portion of your soul descend into the Avatar's body and try to probe the Qiankun Ring with your soul power, attempting to communicate with the Grand Princess."
"Feeling your soul again, the Grand Princess is surprised that you were not killed by her previous attack. She hasn't given up and launches another attack against you."
"Your soul within the Avatar is obliterated for the third time."
"You absolutely do not belong to my Heavenly Wolf Clan. Who are you? How can you use the blood-soul symbiosis on me?" The Grand Princess immediately countered without hesitation.
However, as she spoke, she seemed to remember something and fell silent. Her brows furrowed slightly, lost in thought.
"How can you release me?" The Grand Princess began to soften.
She had no choice; she knew that if she remained trapped here for a long time, she would inevitably be gradually controlled by the subtle influence of the blood-soul symbiosis.
"If you want to leave, it's not impossible. I want to know what happened to the Demonic Emperor's coffin in the Heavenly Wolf Valley in the past." Su Nan threw out the question from his foresight.
The Grand Princess was silent. Instead of answering his question, she asked, "Who are you? Why can you use the blood-soul symbiosis on me?"
You didn't tell the Grand Princess who you were and instead asked about what happened after the Demonic Emperor's coffin flew away from the Heavenly Wolf Valley.
The Grand Princess didn't answer your question.
You and the Grand Princess are at an impasse; you don't intend to release her, and she doesn't intend to tell you anything.
Three minutes later, you haven't gained any information from the Grand Princess. Fortunately, after careful observation, you are sure that she doesn't have the ability to leave the Qiankun Ring.
"She doesn't have the ability to leave the Qiankun Ring?"
"Well, that makes things much easier!" Su Nan's eyes brightened, and he sighed in relief.
As long as the Grand Princess couldn't leave the Qiankun Ring, she was undoubtedly a lamb to be slaughtered.
Now, he couldn't control the Grand Princess, but as time passed, he believed that he would eventually gain complete control over her.
By that time, the Grand Princess's assistance would undoubtedly be significant.
A peak-level King who could manipulate soul power would be an incredibly powerful ally, and even an ordinary player, when equipped with such an ally, could soar to new heights.
With everything confirmed, he followed the method from his foresight and allowed his soul to descend into the Avatar's body.
Next, as foreseen, he was attacked three times in succession by the Grand Princess.
"You definitely aren't from my Heavenly Wolf Clan. Who are you? How can you use the blood-soul symbiosis on me?" In the Qiankun Ring, the Grand Princess wore a red robe, her face frosty, her expression cold and grim, her eyes filled with killing intent.
"Princess, it seems you've forgotten that it was you who personally initiated the blood-soul symbiosis. I don't have the ability to use the blood-soul symbiosis on you."
"Impossible! You definitely aren't from my Heavenly Wolf Clan..." The Grand Princess didn't even think before directly refuting him.
But as she spoke, she seemed to recall something and fell into silence, her delicate brows furrowing as she thought about something.
"How can you release me?" The Grand Princess started to compromise.
She knew that once she was trapped here for an extended period without being able to leave, she would inevitably be influenced by the blood-soul symbiosis, slowly coming under its control.
"If you want to leave, it's not impossible. I want to know where the Demonic Emperor's coffin went after it flew away from the Heavenly Wolf Valley." Su Nan threw out the question he foresaw.
The Grand Princess fell silent. Instead of answering his question, she asked, "Who are you? Why can you use the blood-soul symbiosis on me?"
You didn

As expected, just as foreseen, the Grand Princess didn't respond.
"Your Highness, please consider it carefully. I have plenty of time," Su Nan said calmly. Even if he knew the answer now, he couldn't undertake that mission.
The reason he asked that question was merely to buy time until he could control the Grand Princess.
The Grand Princess could easily discern Su Nan's thoughts. She was both angry and helpless, but in the end, a look of hesitation appeared in her eyes.
Unconsciously, she didn't think about killing Su Nan anymore.
If this were in the past, it would have been unimaginable!
Su Nan retrieved the Qiankun Ring back into his personal space and then, through his personal space, teleported it to his main body to wear it again.
Putting the Qiankun Ring into the personal space would severely limit his connection with the Grand Princess, significantly slowing down the effect of the blood-soul symbiosis. It could only exert its full effect when he wore it on his hand.
If it were possible, he would have preferred to release the Grand Princess, as the effect would undoubtedly be better. Unfortunately, if he did so, he probably wouldn't even know how he died. Not to mention that the Grand Princess alone was not something he could handle; the Qinglang Demon King would certainly come to her aid immediately.
Without retracting the Avatar, Su Nan controlled it to head towards the Golden Radiance Tower to receive the mission of guarding the tower.
His main body, on the other hand, transformed into the appearance of a wolf demon.
More than ten minutes later.
In the small courtyard on Wutong Road, several demon beasts, including Old Yang and Eagle Gao, stood in front of Su Nan.
"You don't need to participate in this matter this time. I want you to go to Zhongzhou County first and investigate the situation for me."
This time it was the domain of a Profound-level powerhouse, and even if a few Spirit-level demon beasts went, they would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
Their master wanted to go to Zhongzhou County? Several demon beasts felt a tightening in their hearts.
As the center of the human race, Zhongzhou County was the imperial city of the Great Yu Empire, teeming with powerful individuals.
Although they were relatively powerful in Tianyun County, if they went to Zhongzhou County, even if their cultivation levels weren't suppressed, they would still be just a few minor demons.
"Yes, Master!"
The demon beasts didn't dare to ask further and agreed.
"Where is my eldest brother now?"
"Lord Tiger King is in Tiger King Palace, discussing matters with two Demon Kings."
"Tiger King Palace? When did Tianyun City have a Tiger King Palace?" Su Nan was surprised.
"That place used to be..." Old Yang explained.
Originally, it was called the Flowing Cloud Palace, the largest palace in Tianyun City besides the County Magistrate's Mansion. However, after Lord Tiger Roar arrived, he forcibly took it over and renamed it Tiger King Palace.
Su Nan found Tiger King Palace and walked straight in.
"My dear brother, you've come at the right time. I was just planning to send someone to find you."
"Last time, an interesting little guy appeared among the humans. He failed to destroy the formation node, and this time, I've gathered all the Profound-level demon beasts in Tianyun County."
"This time, I'm fully confident that we will capture both formation nodes. When the time comes, you can go and collect the essence blood beneath those two formation nodes, just like last time."
Just as in the previous mission, with Tiger Roar's words, Lang Thirteen's side quest appeared.
However, unlike last time, this mission didn't limit him to attacking only the Golden Radiance Tower; he could go to both places.
Ancient demon essence blood?
Su Nan was delighted; he immediately agreed.
In ancient times, demon beasts had been suppressed under formation nodes. Because of the unique environment, there was a high possibility of retaining ancient demon essence blood beneath the formation nodes.
Two formation nodes meant he could not only complete Lang Thirteen's last bloodline but also attempt to break through to the Profound level!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Avatar also received a mission.
Everything was prepared, and now they just needed to wait quietly.
"The human race from all the counties is starting to retreat to Zhongtian County. It seems like the human race is really unable to hold on!"
"In that case, after this mission, players from our nine counties and the entire Dongchen Province will all be crowded into one place. Won't that be too crowded?"
"Don't worry, Zhongtian County is the largest county in Dongchen Province, covering about one-sixth of the entire province, which is larger than both Yongzhou County and Fushan County combined, which have had their formations broken now!"
"That's good. When the human race gathers the power of the Nine Counties' Heavenly Domains, Zhongtian County will undoubtedly be very safe, and our players' chances of survival will greatly increase."
The actions of the human race alarmed all the players, and in the regional chat, players discussed it extensively.
This matter had a significant impact on many players. Once the human race withdrew entirely, these ordinary players would also have to leave. However, this would mean that many players couldn't complete their main storyline missions since many of them required specific locations to complete.
It also affected Su Nan.
Among his three character's main storyline missions, the "Ancient Strongman's Inheritance" mission needed to be completed in Hongshan County. The "Demon Emperor's Legacy Blood" mission required finding the ancient demon emperor's coffin, which was obviously not in Zhongtian County.
"Fortunately, neither of these two missions has a time limit, so there's no need to rush."
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed, and the time was nearing 23:50.
Su Nan checked the number of times he could foresee the future and found he still had over thirty times left!
Just like last time, Su Nan transformed into the appearance of a wolf demon, ready to deal with the players at the Golden Radiance Tower first before returning to the Martial King Temple.
This time, over two hundred Profound-level demons had gathered in Tianyun City, split into two groups of over a hundred each.
Su Nan noticed that among the demons preparing to attack the Golden Radiance Tower, there were not only sixty to seventy early Profound-level demons but also twenty to thirty mid-level Profound-level demons.
And on the small mountain in the distance, there were another dozen or so demons standing there.
They were all late Profound-level and peak Profound-level big demons!
They were waiting, waiting for the formation nodes in other counties to be broken.
That way, they could take action!
Likewise, it was likely that the demons attacking the Martial King Temple were in a similar situation.
"Even if I wanted to kill all these big demons by myself, it would be impossible. I can only do my best, and how many I can hunt down will have to do."
Golden Radiance Tower.
At this moment, it was surrounded by a large number of players, and the number was terrifying.
Twenty thousand? Or thirty thousand? No one could be sure.
And in the distance, even more players were watching. They were just there to join the fun, as with their strength, they didn't even qualify to be cannon fodder.
After the second public beta, there were already nearly eighty to ninety thousand players in Tianyun County, and with the addition of players from Fushan County who had migrated, the total reached over a hundred thousand!
"Where's the great god Wang Nan? Why haven't we seen the great god Wang Nan?"
"This mission is too high-level; we ordinary players can only join in the fun. Only great gods like Wang Nan can truly participate in such missions."
Many people were searching, hoping to find Wang Nan's figure.
Many people had come this time specifically because of Wang Nan.
"These big demons that have come this time are mostly Profound-level. I wonder how many Wang Nan, the great god, can hunt down?"
"I guess he can take down two without a problem!"
"Two? You're overestimating Wang Nan too much. This time, it's not just one or two demons; there are over a hundred Profound-level big demons."
"I have to admit that Wang Nan, the great god, has the ability to kill enemies above his level, but the gap between Profound-level and Spirit-level is huge, not to mention facing over a hundred Profound-level big demons."
Most players had only heard about Wang Nan's strength and didn't have a clear understanding of his actual power.
In their eyes, even if Wang Nan was powerful, he couldn't easily kill Profound-level demons like he did with Spirit-level ones.
"It's a pity. This time, the guild leader of the Town-sealing Guild, Li Ye, the guild leader of the Arson Guild, Ma Hua, and the guild leader of the Blood Moon Pavilion, Nie Yuan, were all killed by the great god Wang Nan in that ancient cave mansion."
"Even though they'll respawn after midnight, they'll respawn in that ancient cave mansion, so it's impossible for them to participate in this mission."
The crowd continued to discuss while waiting for the mission to start.
No one noticed that in the distant woods, an ordinary-looking young man was gazing at the players surrounding the Golden Radiance Tower, his eyes gleaming.
"So many players, I wonder how many contribution points they can provide for me?"
The transformed incarnation's eyes were filled with anticipation. Whether or not he could afford the magical seeds and divine techniques would depend on these players.
"It's almost time. I can foresee it now."
