"Chen Hao, I'm begging you, please don't!"

In the Nether Acupoint, after hearing the desperate plea of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, Chen Hao said sorrowfully, "I'm sorry, I can't accept you, and your plan has been thwarted."

Having said that, Chen Hao raised the Eliminate Evil Moon Sword in his hand and stabbed toward his own left eye.

He intended to cast a sealing spell with the Eliminate Evil Moon Sword to completely freeze the Nether King's Heart above his left eye.

Since the Nether Acupoint was a part of the virtual realm of the Nether King's Heart, once the Nether King's Heart was frozen, the Nether Acupoint would vanish.

And so, at the moment the Nether Acupoint disappeared, Chen Hao within it would also cease to exist.

Once he ceased to exist, the Nether King's Heart would also disappear. The mutual positions of the Nether King's Heart and Nether Acupoint would fall into an endless cycle.

Furthermore, since the spell cast by the Eliminate Evil Moon Sword left no room for second thoughts. Once the Nether King's Heart was to be frozen, it wouldn't be able to awaken and prevent its own disappearance at the last moment.

This was Chen Hao's conception of achieving another form of eternity with Ye Yuqiao.

An eternity of an infinite loop between the virtual and the real, where he and Ye Yuqiao would remain forever in a world that no one could enter or disturb.

"Chen Hao, don't!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body continued to plead desperately.

Unfortunately, her pleas could not prevent the Eliminate Evil Moon Sword from piercing into Chen Hao's left eye, completely freezing the Yang Energy Power that surged into Chen Hao's Nether King's Heart.

As the Nether King's Heart was gradually sealed, the Nether Acupoint, along with Chen Hao, began to fade away bit by bit.

"Yuqiao, I'm coming!" Chen Hao gasped, feeling suffocated by the distortion and merging of the surrounding space.

His consciousness, too, was becoming increasingly blurry.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body had collapsed in despair on the floor, her face ashen. She could no longer sense the Nether King's Heart and didn't want to feel it as she watched Chen Hao disappear before her eyes.

Just then!

A golden light suddenly flashed across Chen Hao's right eye, and then the shadowy figure in his mind crawled out from within that eye.

"I almost arrived too late," he remarked. Then he immediately used the Yang Energy spell to seal the Eliminate Evil Moon Sword, stopping it from freezing the Nether King's Heart.

In an instant, the light on the Eliminate Evil Moon Sword faded, and it dropped from Chen Hao's hand.

And that was when Chen Hao collapsed onto the ground.

Subsequently, his vanishing body and the disappearing space of the Nether Acupoint began to recover bit by bit.

The shadowy figure approached Chen Hao and tore a rift above his left eye. At the same time, a crack also appeared within the Nether Acupoint.

Then he helped the unconscious Chen Hao out of the Nether Acupoint and back to the real world, into Chen Hao's home.

Seeing Chen Hao return, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was ecstatic and then threw herself into Chen Hao's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"The man isn't dead yet, so stop crying!" the shadowy figure said.

A while later, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body finally raised her head, looking at the shadowy figure through tearful eyes, and said, "How could I forget, there's still you."

"It seems that the great forget their burdens easily, Your Majesty the Queen," the shadowy figure laughed. "Think of a solution. Chen Hao will wake up very soon, and then he'll start wondering what to do next. I can stop him once or twice, but I can't keep him at bay forever, after all, my abilities are limited. We need to find a way to rid him of this idea, or find him a new hope."

"Wouldn't it be fine if she just came back?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said.

"Ah!" The person in black exclaimed in surprise, "So you're saying there really is a way to restore the Yang Soul?"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body looked puzzled, then stood up, walked over to the person in black, and asked, "From the tone of your voice, you must have discovered something, right?"

"The Nether King's Heart is an incomplete artifact," the person in black said, "It's only half. If we could find the other half and combine them into a complete one, it might be possible to release the Yang Soul."

"You are absolutely right!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly reached out and pinched the shadowy figure's ear, twisting it hard.

"You had already thought of that, so why didn't you tell Chen Hao earlier? You made me cry so miserably."

"But this is just speculation on my part, and I also have no idea where the other half is," the shadowy figure explained.

Then, he reached out and pinched Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's cheek, retorting, "You know as well, and you even know more than I do, so why didn't you tell Chen Hao just now? It's good that I showed up, or it would've been too late for you to regret anything if Chen Hao had died."

"I didn't want to tell Chen Hao because I didn't want to grant success to Chen Hao and her," Ye Yuqiao said with a gloomy expression. "But you're right, I really did regret it for a moment, thankfully you were there, or Chen Hao would be gone."

The shadowy figure smiled and asked, "So you're saying you've decided to facilitate the union between Chen Hao and the Yang Soul?"

"I used to think that as long as the Yang Soul was gone, Chen Hao would be mine, but then I realized I was wrong."

"I told you before, you can't replace her," the person in black muttered.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body twisted the shadowy figure's ear again, saying harshly, "I understand now; no matter what I do, Chen Hao can never accept me. Unless—unless I become a part of my Yang Soul, then Chen Hao will be able to accept me."

"Become a part of her?" The person in black looked bewildered. "You are the Nether Soul Body, and she is the Yang Soul. If you come together, you'll only fight and reject each other, not merge. Unless—"

The shadowy figure's eyes suddenly widened dramatically, unbelievingly they said, "Unless there is a Yin Soul involved, then you would be able to merge into one!"

"Exactly!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's lips curled up slightly, "The Yin Soul is lying comfortably on the Gate of the Nether King."

"You really do sound quite peculiar and spirited when you say that."

"I've always been smart, lively, and adorable; it's just that Chen Hao prefers the sentimental type like my Yang Soul," Ye Yuqiao claimed.

The person in black sighed helplessly and said, "It feels a bit like a split personality, even though you're the same person."

"Exactly, I am the same person, and I'm not some fake Yuqiao; I'm real too," Ye Yuqiao nodded. "But only the Yuqiao who emerges after the three souls merge will be the true Yuqiao!"

"This whole process sounds very complicated!" the shadowy figure sighed. "To fuse the three souls into one, you first need to find the other half of the Nether King's Heart and release the Yang Soul. But where does one look for it?"

"The ancient city!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body answered immediately, "To be precise, this heart should be called the Glacier Heart, which the ancient behemoth Prince of the Glaciers gave to the Snow Mountain Tribe to suppress the heart of another behemoth, the Volcano King."

The person in black's eyes narrowed sharply, sighing, "It's linked to the ancient city after all! By the way, how do you know about this?"

"The Netherworld Azure Bird told me," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body explained, "I mentioned something to Chen Hao today, I don't know if you heard it."

"You said you don't have much time left?"
