Contrelas didn’t directly answer Lu Pingping’s question; instead, he carefully observed the changes at the altar. When the runes on the altar stabilized, and the heartbeat sound from the giant stone reached its peak, he couldn’t help but burst into triumphant laughter.
Lu Pingping asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Contrelas replied, "Haven’t you realized? When I was talking to you earlier, it was entirely to stall for ti."
Lu Pingping was sowhat puzzled and said, "I know you were stalling for ti, but I’m just a weak woman with no combat power, and now I’ve lost my ability to move. I’m no threat to you, so why waste ti on ?"
Contrelas responded smugly, "I told you about the three steps to close the space channel earlier, but I forgot to ntion one important point: the precaution. Before the altar awakens, the lock opener can voluntarily perform a soul sacrifice. As long as you have this thought in your mind, you can sacrifice your soul to the altar. After sacrificing your soul, you will certainly die, but you can take over the altar, becoming the space channel that connects two worlds."
"By becoming the space channel, you will possess an indestructible characteristic, and even my Sword in the Stone cannot kill you. This space channel would be entirely under your control. You can choose to close it, completely severing contact between the two worlds, or keep it open, allowing the Destiny Organization people to enter Earth; all actions are decided by your whims."
"I deliberately talked to you to prevent you from considering this issue. Now the altar has awakened, and you can no longer perform the voluntary soul sacrifice to take over the altar. I can now kill you and sacrifice your soul. In this way, everything is within my control, and I no longer have to worry about you sabotaging my plan."
Contrelas had no more concerns; as he smugly explained his plan, he dragged the long sword onto the altar, approaching Lu Pingping with the intent of killing her.
Upon seeing Contrelas exuding killing intent, Lu Pingping deeply regretted it. Given that the previous blood sacrifice needed to be voluntary, why hadn’t she thought that soul sacrifice could also be voluntary? She couldn’t escape now, but if she truly could transform into the space channel, not only could she ensure Yan Fei’s safety, but she could also use this channel to negotiate with the Destiny Organization for Yan Fei’s maximum benefit. Even if she truly died in the process, she could leave precious wealth for Yan Fei.
Who knew Contrelas was exceedingly cunning, throwing out so-called secrets to distract Lu Pingping and preventing her from realizing this critical point, wasting a perfect opportunity. If Contrelas killed her and sacrificed her soul, although the space channel could be closed, she would die entirely and couldn’t negotiate any benefits for Yan Fei.
Lu Pingping often engaged in business negotiations; although her opponents were quite cunning, Dream Island held super products, which provided an absolute advantage, allowing her to calculate calmly and secure the maximum benefits in business dealings, typically without any errors. However, Xia Fan and Contrelas were evidently not ordinary people; they were calculating people’s lives. As Lu Pingping held very little information and didn’t understand these desperate individuals’ psychology, she was continuously deceived by these two, becoming a pawn to them.
From the current situation, Xia Fan and Contrelas targeted only Lu Pingping; they both wanted her dead. But no one knew their real goal; perhaps using Lu Pingping as bait, their true target was Yan Fei, who was still on the Spirit Divine Star. If Lu Pingping’s death can cause Yan Fei to lose focus, leading to a failure in his undertaking, even in death, Lu Pingping wouldn’t rest in peace.
This realization caused Lu Pingping to feel a sudden survival instinct. She should have always trusted Yan Fei, not what others said. She shouldn’t have left Dream Island before knowing the situation, exposing herself to danger. If her death causes Yan Fei to lose concentration, she wouldn’t be able to absolve the bla, even in death. To avoid worrying Yan Fei, she must strive to survive and find a way to escape alive.
Lu Pingping kept regretting her actions, but she didn’t know that when she was still on Dream Island and locked eyes with Xia Fan, she had a brief mont of distraction. In that instant, Xia Fan had controlled her mind and infused certain information into Lu Pingping’s brain. It was precisely the impact of these pieces of information that caused Lu Pingping’s behavior to deviate from her usual ticulous standard, leading to erroneous decisions. This was the real reason why Lu Pingping ended up inexplicably in the underground chamber 500 ters beneath the Western Cathedral Headquarters.
Contrelas was advancing step by step; Lu Pingping didn’t want to sit back and await her fate. She loudly threatened, "Contrelas, if you kill today and use my soul for the sacrifice, Yan Fei will surely find out. One day, he will co for revenge; what will you do then?"
Contrelas paused, as if mulling over this real threat, but he quickly beca maniacal, laughing, "Lu Pingping, it seems you have great confidence in Yan Fei, which is why you expect him to avenge you. But using this reason to intimidate is futile. Haven’t I told you? I’m not an ordinary God-Level Expert. I’ve t Yan Fei a few tis, but I was disguised each ti. Not only Yan Fei, but even other God-Level Experts don’t know my true strength; they think I’m just a minor character."
