1168 Reducing Consequences

"Hong Meiling."

"Wang Wei?"

"Big brother?"

"I don't have much time," Wang Wei's voice echoed, followed by a portal opening before a talisman made from his blood rushed before her.

"Wang Ju won't be able to hold on until I come back. Use this talisman with my strength and help her seal the Abyss Gap. Don't take too long since your body and soul cannot withstand my power for too long."

"Alright."

"Big brother, are you alright?" Li Jun asked.

"I'll be fine. I'll see you soon."

The two felt his presence disappeared.

"Well, don't waste time."

"Right."

Hong Meiling crushed the talisman, feeling a terrifying power coursing through her veins. She was instantly intoxicated as the sensation that she could do anything overwhelmed her mind. Luckily, an unknown power rushed into her soul and strengthened her spirit, allowing her to regain clarity and thus have complete control over this newfound power.

'Is this his true strength? How he feel every day?' Hong Meiling thought briefly before remembering the task at hand. She looked at Li Jun. "Thank you for freeing me from my enslavement, and I promise to repay the favor once this is over."

"No need," Li Jun replied. He was stuck in this place for a while, so he doubted whether she could help him in any form or shape. Additionally, they were technically family if you consider her status as his sister-in-law's apprentice.

"This kind of karma is not something I'm willing to owe, so I will repay it one day," Hong Meiling said as she disappeared. She directly teleported outside of the Abyss Gap, where she immediately noticed Wang Ju. However, the Mistress of Shadow was in terrible shape.

As she sat cross-legged, floating in the void before a dark gate, her body released a powerful aura on par with the Golden God, but that was unimportant. Half of her body had transformed into shadow form, while the rest had a dark red and eerie aura.

"Corruption," Hong Meilling muttered before rushing over. However, a dark golden palm descended from the heavens out of nowhere, forcing her to stop her track and condense a defensive seal to protect herself.

"Golden God," She said with gritted teeth. 'No, wait, something's wrong with him.' Her enhanced senses immediately noticed an anomaly from the latter, especially the dark aura intertwined with his soul.

'He's also corrupted? No, this is not simple corruption from the Abyss. He is being controlled.' Hong Meiling immediately figured out many things in this brief interaction. The Golden God somehow had a connection with the Abyss and even teamed up with the latter, most likely to deal with Wang Wei.

However, the latter played with fire and was controlled, becoming a puppet for the Abyss.

"How ironic," she sneered. However, Hong Meiling knew this was not the time to be petty, so she calmed down to analyze the situation. 'The question is: why is he revealing himself now?' Her extended senses detected that the Golden God defeated the Myriad Emperor World's people with the mirror as his new "form" boosted his prowess. Luckily, the latter seemed in a hurry and did not focus too much on eradicating them.

"I'm talking about Samsara."

"What can it do?"

"If we can teleport the entire Abyss Gap to the afterlife, the Yama Kings will have no choice but to intervene and eradicate this threat."

"Yama Kings?" It was the first time Hong Meiling had heard this title, but somehow, she could sense the nobleness and power associated with it. It was a strange experience, one she connected to her current power.

"I don't know about this," Hong Meiling said. "Wang Wei tasked me to provide you with backup and hold on as long as possible."

"Everyone is waiting for my master to come save the day, but what if he cannot?" Wang Ju asked.

"You should have more faith in him.

"I do, more than anyone in this world," Wang Ju replied, her tone very confident. "However, I also understand that he will not escape such a situation unscathed. My purpose is only to reduce whatever price or sacrifice he'll eventually have to make."

Hong Meiling was briefly quiet. "Even if your intentions are noble - how are we supposed to pull something like this?"

"Whatever creature is inside has already wasted a lot of strength removing all these seals." The Abyss Gap has existed for a long time, and since it was sealed, millions, maybe even more, of Great Emperors have added their power to the seal.

"Meaning that currently, it's at its weakest state. With your power, mine, and the Four Symbol Mirror, it should be no problem to send the entire thing through reincarnation." Wang Ju raised her hand, and the mirror teleported into her hands.

"Are you sure this plan is feasible?" Hong Meiling asked with a frown. "Are those Yama Kings reliable?"

"They are."

"What about the consequences for messing up with Samsara?"

"I will take all the blame," Wang Ju declared calmly.

"Good," Hong Meiling said with gritted teeth. Time was running out, so it was not time to be indecisive. She activated her most powerful sealing techniques while working in tandem with Wang Ju and the mirror. All their strength had the same source, making their synchronization almost perfect.

Boom!

A banging echoed on the black gate, indicating that something or someone wanted to rush out.

"Hurry," yelled Wang Ju, feeling the creature's desperation. The mirror shone brilliantly on the gate, followed by myriad runes or magic circles serving as seals. Meanwhile, Wang Ju accessed Wang Wei's Space, Time, and Life-Death Dao.

Cracks appeared on her body as she had overused his power while already in a terrible state.

Bang!

A claw pushed open the gate, and Wang Ju and Hong Meiling grimaced. They immediately used a secret technique to burn their blood and soul to boost their strength, trying one last desperate move to ensure success.
