"She is him?"
"How is this possible? How can a mere mortal bear this power?"
The words of the third Undying God Soul greatly impacted the previous two.
Originally, they were always unperturbed, even when Chen Long resisted time and again. The two of them calmly suppressed and possessed him.
But the third soul, with just one sentence, caused great emotional fluctuations in the two of them.
The third soul slowly walked towards Xiao Yu.
All attack methods used by Xiao Yu were mysteriously dissolved when they were half a meter away from him.
The soul arrived in front of Xiao Yu. Although his body was as small as Xiao Yu's.
"What... do you want to do?"
The other party did not answer. Instead, he circled Xiao Yu twice, lifted Xiao Yu's arms and legs, and after repeatedly confirming, nodded and said, "It's correct."
With that, the soul disappeared before Xiao Yu and returned to his two companions.
"I respect his choice. Since he chose a mortal, we will abandon the possession of your uncle and observe this world in another form."
"The era of Undying Gods and demons has passed. The next era will be a world dominated by mortals and demons."
"What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Yu was very confused. What were these Undying Gods thinking? One moment they were fighting to the death, with the intention of not stopping until their goal was achieved, but the next moment they compromised. It made no sense at all.
The soul next to him was displeased with Xiao Yu's expression and stepped forward, saying, "Mortal, what we mean is that your identity is..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the previous soul.
"Since he has not revealed himself actively, he has his reasons. We don't need to stir up trouble. You will understand what we mean when the time comes. It is time for you to leave now."
Xiao Yu wanted to say something more, but the three Undying God Souls clearly had no intention of revealing more. After saying their last sentence, they gradually dissipated before the two of them.
As the Undying God Souls left, the mist before them grew thicker and thicker, until it was completely obscured.
The magic ended, and both Xiao Yu and Chen Long left the mental world.
"I... I'm back?"
Touching his throbbing head, Chen Long looked around, and only when he was sure he was back in the real world and not the mental world did he finally relax.
The next moment, two fingers tapped on Chen Long's forehead again. The familiar force, the familiar pain. This was definitely Dad.
"Chen Long, you don't have time to rest. I've used a lot of energy to help Xiao Yu. Now take her back to her room to rest."
Chen Long was reminded by his Dad and only then did he see Xiao Yu lying beside him.
Unlike Chen Long, who was lying directly on the floor, Xiao Yu had several thick quilts beneath her.
However, Chen Long was no longer in the mood to pay attention to these things.
Chen Long was now filled with deep self-reproach, blaming himself for dragging Xiao Yu into this and causing her to fall unconscious.
As Chen Long was blaming himself, his Dad's two fingers tapped his forehead again.
"What are you worrying about? Xiao Yu just used too much mental energy. She'll be fine after resting in her room for a while. Or do you want your niece to sleep here?"
Hearing his Dad's words, Chen Long also reacted. Once he confirmed that Xiao Yu was not seriously injured, his mood improved considerably. He squatted down and gently picked up the sleeping Xiao Yu.
"One more thing."
Just as Chen Long reached the doorway, he was stopped by his Dad.
"Dad just made a restorative potion for mental energy. Come and drink some later. There's also one placed by Xiao Yu's bed for her to drink when she wakes up."
"Okay, Dad."
"One more thing, don't forget to clean up Dad's study."
"Okay, Dad."
"One more thing, ask Trull to make some tea. Dad's tea is finished."
"Okay, Dad."
It wasn't unreasonable for his Dad to say this. After all, the demonic energy that escaped from Chen Long's armor when he entered the mental world had made the study extremely messy. Xiao Yu's battle with the Undying God Souls after entering further exacerbated the escape of demonic energy. If not for Dad controlling it from the side, the escaped demonic energy alone could have demolished the entire antique shop.
After Chen Long left, his Dad pushed aside the books piled on the ground, revealing the God Armor.
That's right, after the Undying Gods gave up possessing Chen Long, the God Armor on Chen Long's body automatically detached. Dad had hidden the detached God Armor while they were unconscious.
From a humanitarian perspective, the God Armor should be permanently sealed, but the powerful nature of the armor itself could not be ignored. Merely wearing it gave ordinary people the strength to contend with demons.
Such a divine artifact, even if sealed, would still attract people who couldn't resist temptation to search for it and claim it as their own.
Rather than let it fall into the hands of those with malicious intent and be used for evil, it was safer in Dad's hands. At least after witnessing the great hidden dangers of the God Armor, Dad would not use it unless absolutely necessary.
After settling Xiao Yu, Chen Long also noticed that the God Armor on his body was gone. He figured Dad had taken it, but since Dad didn't mention it, Chen Long didn't ask.
For him, power was not enough to attract him. In Chen Long's eyes, power was only for protecting his family, nothing more. He was an ordinary archaeologist who inadvertently gained this powerful strength. Now that it was gone, he had no regrets. Moreover, the price of using this power was the loss of control over his own body.
Returning to the study, he saw his Dad sitting at the table translating ancient texts, Trull bringing in hot tea, and then thinking about his eccentric niece. It was good for the family to be together, reunited and healthy. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Just as Chen Long was immersed in a sense of happiness, his Dad's voice echoed again, "Chen Long, what are you dawdling over there for? Hurry up and finish cleaning. There are still many ancient texts to translate."
Suddenly, Chen Long's good mood vanished.
With the detachment of the God Armor, Chen Long had indeed gotten rid of a major concern. However, the number of ancient texts that needed translation had not decreased. Moreover, because he had wasted a lot of time arguing with the Undying God Souls, and now he had to clean the study, he would likely have to work late into the night.
Seeing Chen Long's crestfallen face, Trull walked over chivalrously and patted Chen Long on the shoulder, meaning "Don't be afraid, brother, I'm here."
Although his education wasn't high and he couldn't help translate ancient texts, he was an expert at cleaning rooms.
Indeed, the reformed Trull had cleared his previous points. Now, when it came to making tea, baking biscuits, and doing housework, his points were definitely maxed out.
