Chapter 715: Possession
The unknown being pierced through the Cosmic Universe, arriving at its center with a single thought.
Surprisingly, it didn’t arrive here as a person.
Rather…
“Sure enough!” Liora muttered as her consciousness sank deep into her body.
At that very moment, she sensed that the Human Emperor Technique had grown out of her control, operating on its own.
Its circulation path suddenly changed without her doing anything.
Although she reacted quickly and tried to suppress the various forces, she found herself unable to. It was as though that was how things should have been from the very beginning.
Liora’s expression changed as she saw the countless amounts of faith pouring into her body begin to fuse into a silhouette.
It was faint at first, illusory and impossible to make out.
Yet as more and more faith came together, the silhouette gradually became clear.
Before long, its true appearance had been revealed.
It was a middle-aged man.
With sharp eyebrows that resembled brows and an angular face, he looked both like a warrior and a scholar.
The moment his phantom materialized, the faith in Liora’s body completely escaped her grasp, continuously flowing toward him.
“It’s been a long time since I last awakened…”
“I didn’t expect the plan to bear fruit so quickly.”
“It’s only been half an Era, yet a suitable body has already been found…” A whisper echoed in Liora’s mind.
The man suddenly raised his head.
Although he was currently inside Liora’s body, existing in a strange dimension akin to the soul space, he seemed able to look directly at her.
He didn’t mince his words.
“You should have already noticed it.”
“The Human Emperor Technique has already been engraved in your body, fundamentally altering you. You have become the perfect vessel for my resurrection.”
“There is no reason to struggle. As long as you obediently let me possess your body, I will be willing to revive you once I take that step again.”
The man’s tone was plain and casual. He didn’t seem to be in any hurry to attack, communicating with Liora as though they were old acquaintances who had just met.
Such an attitude and his offer made Liora speechless.
“Who are you?” she stirred her consciousness and asked.
The man shook his head. He clasped his hands behind his back and answered.
“Don’t you already have an answer in your heart?”
“After all, this is not the first time we’ve met…”
Sure enough!
At these words, Liora’s mind wandered.
Soon, the man’s voice overlapped with the voice she had heard at the start of the Era.
Shockingly, this man was the person who had brought the human race into the Cosmic Universe, leaving behind the Information World, the Human Emperor Technique, and many other trump cards.
It could be said that he was the humans’ ancestor, the reason cosmic humans existed at all.
Seemingly sensing that Liora recognized him, the man nodded imperceptibly.
“As for my identity, you should have already guessed it as well.”
“After all, who can develop the Human Emperor Technique but the Human Emperor?”
The man seemed quite talkative.
“I was also like you once, leading the human race to prosperity.”
“It’s just that my world was far more terrifying, with beings beyond your imagination residing in it.”
“After I managed to attain the status of the Human Emperor, I knew that my own death was likely. Therefore, I began spreading my descendants throughout the Origin Sea.”
“As long as one of these people remains alive, I’d have a chance to be reborn.”
“I didn’t expect that it would be this world that would end up giving me that chance. Given its high level, I thought its Will would suppress me. However…”
The “Human Emperor” sighed.
Meanwhile, Liora remained calm. She didn’t need to hear his explanation.
She had already understood everything the moment the “Human Emperor” appeared.
After all, this was far from the first time she had faced such a situation.
In the past, there was another being who had tried to possess her body in the exact same way—the World Devourer Ancestor.
As such, she was quite familiar with this trope.
At the same time, she knew that the “Human Emperor” had not wasted his time speaking with her for no reason.
The faith pouring into her body was slowly being transformed under his control.
From faith that originally belonged to her and bore her mark, it was rapidly being distorted into the faith in the “Human Emperor”.
Liora could only watch this happen powerlessly, at most slowing down the impact.
This was the price of practicing someone else’s techniques! Especially techniques developed by beings beyond one’s stage!
The loopholes and methods left behind could very well seal one’s fate!
Slowly but surely, Liora felt herself losing control over her body.
The result of this was that, in the real world, her appearance had started to change.
From a majestic woman dressed in the emperor’s robes, she gradually drew closer to the middle-aged man’s appearance.
Two faces alternated, as though she had been driven crazy.
Whether it was the Will of the Cosmic Universe or the Hollow Ancestor, they immediately noticed these changes.
The former did not seem to care. It continued its attacks toward its opponent, plundering as much authority as possible.
As for the latter, he glanced at Liora, a light flickering deep in his eyes. He seemed to have realized something.
After a brief pause, however, it resumed defending against the two. Or rather, three.
In a matter of seconds, the already complicated situation had become even more bizarre.
From the original three combatants engaged in a melee, the participants had now turned into four!
More importantly, the person added was a terrifying being equivalent to a Prince of the Demon World, whose means far surpassed one’s imagination!
—
“Sure enough, one can not be too careful in such a high-level world, much less when one is interacting with beings of that level.”
While the fight in the universe’s core was taking place, a regretful sigh echoed in a remote secret realm that had long escaped the Human Federation’s grasp.
A lone figure sat in a majestic palace.
Had the “Human Emperor” been here, he would have immediately recognized her.
Liora!
