Chapter 1515
Qin Feng carefully examined the black-robed prison warden before him.
The other person's face was shrouded in a fog and could not be seen clearly.
Even when he used his Star Eyes to peer into the universe, all he saw was that towering, star-like body, not its true form.
However, the subtle meaning revealed in the words of the black-robed jailer just now stirred something in Qin Feng's heart.
"My lord, what you meant just now... could it be that if the deal goes through, you have a way to deal with that rule of destruction?" Qin Feng's heartbeat quickened slightly.
"Oh? Right!" The black-robed warden added calmly, as if he had just remembered, "There is a third reason. The power of the rules is beyond my control."
Upon hearing this, the faint glimmer of hope that had just risen in Qin Feng's heart vanished instantly.
Yes.
Through his several encounters with the black-robed warden, he could sense that this mysterious giant seemed to harbor some apprehension towards the Origin Ancestor.
Even the Primordial Ancestor couldn't completely resolve the rules of destruction, so how could the Black-Robed Warden easily resolve them?
Qin Feng, who hadn't held out much hope, quickly composed himself and put on a smile again: "I wonder what important matter you have to tell me, sir?"
"Didn't I already say so?" The black-robed warden's voice carried a hint of mockery: "You've been making quite a splash in the Star River World lately. At this rate, I'm worried that the money I invested earlier will be completely lost."
Qin Feng scratched his head, looking completely innocent: "Really? As you know, I've always been an honest person!"
The black-robed jailer ignored his sophistry and continued, "You killed the people of the Silent Star Pavilion without hesitation, which does show some courage. Unfortunately, youthful passion always comes at a price, and one must pay to learn to assess the situation and stop acting rashly."
"Speaking of which..." he changed the subject, his tone becoming inquisitive.
"I am quite curious, what kind of power did you use to completely erase that strange creature from a world, leaving not even a trace of its life essence?"
Qin Feng blinked his clear, large eyes: "The power of the Origin Ancestor! Didn't I say that back then?"
“The Origin Ancestor…” The black-robed jailer hesitated in his voice, and Qin Feng could even imagine the suspicious and scrutinizing gaze beneath the black robe.
However, he was not worried.
Anything that can't be explained can simply be attributed to the Origin Ancestor!
Based on the information he currently possesses, the Origin Ancestor is an existence at the bug level in this starry world, making him the most suitable person to act as the omnipotent scapegoat!
"Then what about your almost limitless defensive power?"
"It was bestowed upon me by the Ancestor!" Qin Feng answered confidently.
Yuanzu has to take the blame whether he wants to or not!
After all, even if the truth about the system is revealed, attributing everything to the Origin Ancestor is obviously easier for people to accept.
"You brat..." After a long while, the black-robed jailer let out a sigh that was hard to decipher.
Qin Feng couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
After a brief pause, Qin Feng tentatively asked, "Um... sir, is the Silent Star Pavilion really that powerful? I only dealt with one of them, yet it has troubled you to personally intervene?"
The black-robed warden remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Those who are hunting down the Origin Ancestor are merely a branch of the Silent Star Pavilion. The true core of the Silent Star Pavilion will not take you seriously for the time being."
"The way you killed was too horrific! To completely erase a living being, along with its very life force, from a world... Such methods are bound to attract a lot of attention. Right now, there are quite a few eyes watching you!"
"That's why I said that this investment is most likely to result in a loss!"
Qin Feng was taken aback upon hearing this!
What does that mean? Because the system was too powerful and eliminated too cleanly, it attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives?
He swallowed instinctively, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "My lord, please understand! This is the power of the Primordial Ancestor; it has nothing to do with me!"
"Could it be... that they still dare to try to strip the power of the Origin Ancestor from me? But didn't you say before that even you were helpless? How could they possibly have a way?"
The black-robed jailer let out a voice that was neither a laugh nor a smile: "What are you panicking about?"
Qin Feng paused for a moment, then chuckled dryly, "Am I... panicking?"
The black-robed warden continued in a chuckled voice, "Then why don't you guess whether the Primordial Ancestor... has the ability to completely erase a life from a world?"
Qin Feng was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.
He had never even met the Source Ancestor, so how could he know just how powerful the Source Ancestor was?
The black-robed prison warden's seemingly casual remark was a deadly blow! A careless reply could easily expose one's true nature.
The black-robed warden seemed quite satisfied with his reaction, and continued with a smile, "Even the Origin Ancestor himself might not be able to unleash such a thorough annihilation technique, yet you insist that this is a power bestowed by the Origin Ancestor..."
"Then... do you think that those of us who know something about the Origin Ancestor will doubt the truthfulness of everything you said before?"
"In other words, perhaps all your abilities have nothing to do with the Origin Ancestor, but belong entirely to yourself!"
"Even the forbidden power that controls space and time is the same!"
"is not it?"
The black-robed warden faced Qin Feng. Even though Qin Feng couldn't see his face clearly, he could clearly feel that beneath the black robe, there was a pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything, locked on him!
Qin Feng felt a surge of panic, but after only a moment, he suddenly let out a long sigh. Then, he raised his head, a near-mad light flashing in his eyes, and said, word by word:
"grown ups……"
"What if I said..."
"If I wanted to, I could cross endless galaxies right now, ignoring all the barriers of the world..."
"Kill you!"
Do you...believe it?
As Qin Feng spoke, he silently chanted in his mind, "System! Lock onto the Black-Robed Warden! Prepare to activate the Instant Kill Card!"
[Ding! Host has been detected to possess one 'Instant Kill Card'.]
[Ding! Target locked: Codename 'Black-Robed Warden'.]
[Ding! System verification in progress... Verification successful! Execution of the flash sale command is permitted!]
[Ding! Execute immediately?]
Qin Feng remained silent, a maniacal smile still on his face, as he stared intently at the black-robed warden!
His words, "I'll kill you," still echoed in the empty world of his consciousness, carrying an almost manic resolve that was completely different from his usual joking and playful demeanor.
The black robe around the black-robed warden, which seemed to have remained unchanged since time immemorial, rippled almost imperceptibly.
There was no murderous intent, no anger, but an extreme gaze from a higher level of existence made Qin Feng's soul feel as if it were about to freeze.
The atmosphere was frozen solid, as if the sky were about to collapse and the earth to split open at any moment...
