After a thousand years of slaughter between humans and demons, the end of the Dharma age brought the fighting to a halt.
The Xia Emperor, Qin Qiong, used divine powers to reverse cause and effect, seizing the spiritual energy of the next thirty thousand years and turning it into a spiritual tide that would arrive thirty thousand years later, giving humanity a head start.
But the Demon Emperor, Meng Li, glimpsed a sliver of heavenly secrets and followed Qin's example, severing the threads of thought.
Three thousand years later, both emperors' severed threads of thought would become reincarnated selves.
Qin Wangzhi thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's turn off the lights and go to sleep."
"Huh?" Geng Zhanpeng could hardly believe it. It wasn't even nine, and they were going to bed already?
I'd washed myself clean from head to toe. A whole living person is lying next to you, and you're really going to be this unmoved, this hard-hearted?
Geng Zhanpeng was frustrated by Qin Wangzhi's lack of ambition, and couldn't help giving off a resentful aura.
What's this guy throwing a fit about now?
Qin Wangzhi couldn't make sense of him. Hadn't he been perfectly fine just a moment ago?
Just then, another set of options appeared before his eyes.
[Option One: Lie down and go straight to sleep. Completion reward: The chance of staying awake all night increases to 99%.]
[Option Two: Crawl into Geng Zhanpeng's bed and ask about the "eyes." Completion reward: Clue to the Spirit-Seeking Seed +1.]
Wait, are these even legitimate options?
Why do they look so suspicious?
But... another clue?
Qin Wangzhi pinched the bridge of his nose and gave in.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Geng Zhanpeng cried out in delighted surprise. "Why are you getting into my bed?"
So this is the real Qin Wangzhi!!!
