Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense quickly swept over, it was just a phantom.

"Who are you?"

"Hmph," the boy’s tone was unfriendly, "You caused a commotion in my home and you still don’t know who I am?"

"Are you the master of this Domain?" Chu Xiu looked at him with some surprise, "Does your true form also look like this?"

The boy sneered, "I am already a wandering Soul, what appearance or visage is there to speak of?"

Seeing his attitude, Chu Xiu hadn’t said anything yet, but Jiang Miaoyin was already displeased, "Hey, what’s your business with us? If there’s nothing, we will go find people, and once we do, we’ll come back to help you wandering ghost return to Reincarnation."

In the Exorcist Civilization, the term [Reincarnation] probably doesn’t exist, however, the two communicated directly through mind, and the opposite side probably understood Jiang Miaoyin’s words were not pleasant.

Unexpectedly for Chu Xiu, after pondering for a moment, the boy didn’t retort for once, but instead fell silent.

After a long time, just when Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin were getting impatient, he finally sent a Sound Transmission: "I have something I need you to do."

This made Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin slightly freeze, and Jiang Miaoyin directly laughed, "Are you brainless? I’m about to send people to hack you, and you actually think we’d do something for you?"

"Moreover, am I not the invader who destroyed your world? Who taught you to ask your enemies for help?"

Under Jiang Miaoyin’s aggressive tone, the boy fell silent again, but when they were about to walk away, he suddenly said, "I apologize for my words."

This made Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin freeze again, and Chu Xiu frowned, "Speak directly if you have something to say, I don’t have time to waste with you."

"I’ve been here for two thousand years."

"So?" Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"At the beginning, I cultivated day and night in this sunless underground, wanting to take revenge on you invaders, to gain Power to protect my tribe, and drive those evil spirits back underground."

"I thought I could persist for a long time with this Power, but I was wrong."

"In just one hundred seventy-two years, my mind collapsed, I was only twenty-three before the apocalypse, this was already seven times my complete life."

"So I constructed this illusory home and indulged in it, resuming cultivation only when my mind recovered after some time." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"But this underground is too difficult to bear, lonely, cold, hard. My sleeping time grew longer and longer, unwilling to wake from the beautiful dream. I don’t know how long it was, maybe five hundred years, or even a thousand, I couldn’t deceive myself even in dreams."

"An illusory beautiful dream is ultimately not a true home. When everyone acts according to predetermined commands, you will realize that no matter how similar in appearance, they are ultimately soulless phantoms, and those I loved and who loved me were long buried in the cold city."

"This completely broke me, I failed my elders’ sacrifice, cowardly falling into complete slumber to escape the boundless loneliness until your arrival awakened me."

"A sad story," Chu Xiu commented, then shrugged indifferently, "but what does it have to do with me?"

The boy said, "When I first saw you, my heart was filled with hatred, thinking only of killing you for revenge, but now I find I can’t do that, so I changed my mind."

"I no longer want to endure that endless loneliness and silence, my fear of that loneliness has surpassed hatred, besides, you are not the ones who destroyed my home, just the same race. Even killing you would not be revenge, just meaningless venting."

"So I have a proposal."

The boy raised his head, his empty, seemingly soulless eyes staring at Chu Xiu.

And after pondering for a while, Chu Xiu slowly nodded.

"Speak."
