This was the enchantment created by Long Xiruo and Su Zijun. Without them, there was no way to enter, except breaking in through violence.

Such as Xiang Liu, who had been imprisoned here.

Gui Qianyi had seen the leyline before—so when the river full of spiritual power appeared, he wasn’t shocked.

He regarded everything as unimportant when it came to his current age… the long river of spiritual power could not change the old turtle; however, he was taken aback by Xiang Liu’s odd look.

“Xiang Liu, what happened to you?” Gui Qianyi stood in front, and observed carefully the chains surrounding him.

Xiang Liu’s hate could be seen in his eyes… By right, one should be peaceful soaking in such pure river of spiritual power.

“Gui Qianyi?” Xiang Liu raised up his head; his face looked haggard, “Don’t worry, I am just trying to force myself to hate. Thank your princess… something must have been cleaned out from me in this place.”

Then, Xiang Liu screamed miserably!

Gui Qianyi saw his skin and flesh break, one tiny blood vessels appeared, with blood running crazily in them!

The disaster stopped only after one hour… His skin and flesh healed and the blood vessels hid in his body once again.

It was Su Zijun’s swear… Gui Qianyi was shocked. He understood why he said ‘Thank your princess’.

A long time later, Xiang Liu panted and the hate in eyes became serious, “Why didn’t Su Zijun come, but you did?”

‘Will the princess try to ask something from Xiang Liu?’ Gui Qianyi thought about it. Actually, he came here for Long Xiruo’s order but in such a situation, Gui Qianyi was not sure he could get a satisfactory answer.

But he knew the conditions, so he said, “Xiang Liu, I know you add your hatred through the pain. But you know you cannot get rid of these chains. Thus, no matter how you resist, you cannot evade the purification of the long spiritual river.”

Gui Qianyi added, “The spiritual river carries the fortune of this land. A thousand year, or dozens of thousands, it is endless, but there’s an end for humans. Hatred can help you resist for a while, but you should know that it’ll be hard for you to oppose it.”

“Don’t look down on me, Gui Qianyi.” Xiang Liu sneered.

Gui Qianyi said calmly, “Hate will shatter your remaining spirit and sensibility and you’ll lose your thinking ability. Xiang Liu, are you willing to become a guy who doesn’t know yourself? And, you won’t leave here through any effort, can you bear it?”

“What are you trying to say?” Xiang Liu’s look changed.

Gui Qianyi said slowly, “I can help you relieve the pain you suffer.”

Xiang Liu frowned, “Why should I trust you?”

Gui Qianyi deeply breathed, and vomited the bead from his mouth. This place was full of spiritual energy, so it was easy for a weak senior to conjure with the spell he wanted.

Gui Qianyi threw out the bead; it traveled around Xiang Liu and went back to his hand. At this time, three light circles rose around Xiang Liu.

Gui Qianyi said, “Look, the three light circles can isolate you from the spiritual air; besides, it can suppress the curse the princess cast on you. Of course, I’m not able to get rid of the curse from the princess. And the suppression can only reduce the level of pain when it works. With your tenacity, you can bear it and get through it… What do you think?”

Xiang Liu gazed at Gui Qianyi. At the same time, he felt better being isolated from the spiritual air… A long while later, he sneered, “Gui Qianyi, Su Zijun cursed me but you bring this for me as mercy? What a good cop bad cop you guys are!”

Gui Qianyi wasn’t influenced, “If you don’t like it, then let me retrieve it.”

“Wait!” Xiang Liu gnashed, and head turned to one side, “What do you want to ask? But I can tell you, if I’m unwilling to answer it, I’d rather go on with my hatred!”

Gui Qianyi replied, “That day, Master Long was attacked secretly by a weird meatball. That thing was not human or monster, what was it?”

“You mean ‘Prometheus’?” Xiang Liu frowned.

“Pro… metheus?” Gui Qianyi frowned as well.

Xiang Liu shook his head, “It’s not that well-known person, but they have the same name. It’s new creation for human rebirth made by the guys of the club and they named it. However, later, they created ‘Prometheus’ for some reason I don’t know.”

“Human rebirth… you mean longevity forever?” Gui Qianyi nodded, “I want all the intelligence of ‘Prometheus’.”

Xiang Liu didn’t care why he wanted to know… but it was not included in those things he didn’t want to tell, “I don’t know about the technology. It was made by some scientists of the club. In the beginning, it was just a cell and I took one out.”

“Say it clearly, what’s the cell made for?” Gui Qianyi continued to ask.

Xiang Liu thought and said, “Theoretically, this cell can swallow all other cells to get larger. The method is very easy. Put it into a single thing, which will be the incubator for its reproduction. When it goes out of that single thing, that will be its first form. And then feed the first form as much as possible, with as much variety as possible because it can swallow all genes to get larger and absorb them. Then it will evolve.”

Gui Qianyi look turned serious, “You mean ‘Prometheus’ can get evolved without limit… then it’ll be invincible at last?”

Xiang Liu sneered, “It’s not that easy. Because they cannot make it easily, maybe less than a 1% success rate. The club had found a successful equation through spending countless wealth and humans after 20 years, but merely got several successful single objects merely. And they cannot be evolved anymore, with their imperfect stability.”

“Are there any weakness?” Gui Qianyi asked directly.

Xiang Liu answered, “No direct weakness. If you have enough power, just destroy it. If not, you’ll have to find the original cell and destroy it.”

“Then, what did you use to feed it?”

“Gui Qianyi, don’t ask something you know.”

“Monsters…” Gui Qianyi took a deep breath, “Another question, will those monsters influence ‘Prometheus’? for example, their thoughts.”

Xiang Liu shrugged, “I don’t know this, I only used the product. About the side effect, it’s none of my business!”

Gui Qianyi didn’t ask anymore, he knew Xiang Liu only knew these. He started to combine all the things that happened during this period.

That day, Su Zijun came to ask something about Shu You…

When he connected all things, Gui Qianyi thought he guessed the identity of Iron Whistle and the reason he stayed with Cheese.

“Anything else you want to know? If not, get out here! I need to have a rest!” Xiang Liu snorted, he needed a good rest… to resist the spiritual air and the pain of the curse.

Gui Qianyi nodded, “OK… it’s time to leave.”

With this, Gui Qianyi waved his hand, and those light circles broke… at the moment, Xiang Liu felt the spiritual air come to attack him and the pain made by the curse rise up again!

“Gui Qianyi!!! You liar!!!!”

“Did I?” Gui Qianyi said slowly, “I did help you resist the spiritual air and relieve the pain of the curse… previously. But I never said how long I’ll help you right?”

“Gui Qianyi!!!”

Gui Qianyi covered his ears, and withdrew his neck, “Stop yelling! You scared me! What an impolite young man, calm down.”

“Gui Qianyi!! If I leave this place, I’ll have you suffer it! I swear!!!”

Accompanied by Xiang Liu’s screams, Gui Qianyi who was using a walking stick, with a small fist massaging his shoulder, walked slowly out of the spiritual river.

‘If I relieve your pain, Princess will kill me…’

So he looked back at Xiang Liu regretfully, and tutted, “Young man, alas… You’re too young!”
