After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2558 Addicted to Games
Divine blood can transform the human body and the demon body, serving as an excellent bridge between the two.

“But even with the addition of divine blood, harmonizing the ratio of these two is extremely difficult. After all, individual embryonic sacs differ, with varying innate strengths and weaknesses, which is why so many mutated monsters appeared in the experiments.” Dong Rui looked at A-Lian. “You need a kind of divine blood that has been modified and deliberately dulled to allow the embryonic sac and the fragments of the Hidden God to play a stabilizing role in the early stages of fusion. It is both a catalyst and a catalyst. Once the divine body begins to grow, the power of the Hidden God will begin to manifest, and the divine body will be able to change its appearance. A-Lian is the first successful example, which is why you value her so much, right?”

He spoke so quickly that everyone else was completely confused, except for He Lingchuan, who asked:
"Even if he figured it out, why doesn't he let the others in Lotus Valley know?"

"Most likely, the source or quantity of divine blood is very limited, and it cannot be used on a large scale. Or perhaps, he and that Master Xiao are in competition."

As Dong Rui mentioned catalysts, Duan Heyun's gaze towards him gradually turned to surprise, and then he suddenly said:

"Are you Dong Rui?"

Dong Rui raised an eyebrow: "You've heard of me?"

“You are the one who killed Cao Wendao, and you are also the one who has been tracking our experiments everywhere.” Duan Heyun glanced at He Lingchuan. “The Nine Nether Emperor is here, and the puppeteer by his side is most likely Dong Rui. I heard that your method of creating puppets is outdated.”

Dong Rui's chin tightened immediately.

He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "How about you exchange pleasantries later? Let's get down to business now."

He immediately said to Duan Heyun, "Master Duan, I have a few questions to ask you. Please answer truthfully."

"First, how many true divine bodies can the Spiritual Palace create using the Hidden God Monarch's body, and what level of celestial demons can it accommodate?"

Duan Heyun remained silent. Did the Nine Nether Emperor think he could answer so easily?
He Lingchuan didn't take it seriously and raised his second finger:
"The second question is, there are eight passage seals in the Glazed Sea. Besides Fu Yu, you and Xiao Ping, the two chief supervisors, and the three Heavenly Demons, who has the last seal? Don't tell me it's He Lu Tian. As the owner of the Space Godhood, He can travel freely between several small worlds without a seal."

"The third question: Is the Glass Sea Small World naturally formed, or is it inherent in the Cloud Platform?"

Duan Heyun's mouth was closed tighter than a clam shell.

He Lingchuan didn't expect him to reveal the truth willingly, so he turned to A-Lian and said:
"Help me find out the answer, and I'll take care of Helu Tian for you!"

Upon hearing this, A-Lian slowly walked up to Duan Heyun.

Duan Heyun, sitting down, was about the same height as her. His adorable little face drew closer and closer, his beautiful big eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness. He had looked at her like this hundreds of times, but never before had he felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart like this.

Ah Lian twisted her hands and slowly said, "Father, the answer."

“Ah Lian, they’re using you,” Duan Heyun advised her. “Dong Rui is also a puppeteer. If you help them, they’ll want to capture you and dissect you. Because you’re Father’s most prized creation, they want too much from you.”

A-Lian tilted her head to the side.

Duan Heyun quickly said, "My request for you to agree to be Helu Tian's vessel was merely a temporary measure. You are too important to the divine descent plan. Helu Tian made a pact with you only because he was worried that you would lose control. He cannot actually descend easily, otherwise even the Holy Venerable Lingxu would not agree. During this time, I can develop other vessels to replace you and offer to Helu Tian! You must understand my good intentions. I... I am trying to buy time!"

Ah Lian's hand paused.

How could He Lingchuan let him resolve the situation so easily? "But after the contract is signed, He Lutian can indeed descend at any time, right?"

"He won't!"

“I can make a bet with you,” He Lingchuan said, arms crossed. “He will definitely arrive within ten hours.”

Duan Heyun glared at him angrily: "That's because you kidnapped us!"

He Lingchuan shrugged: "Today He might descend to stop us, and tomorrow He might descend into A-Lian's body for some other reason. If He decides to descend, you'll have to accept whatever reason He comes up with. Now, are you still saying He 'cannot' descend at all?"

Dong Rui, standing to the side, rolled his eyes. This guy is really stupid; he actually wants to argue with Jiu You.

A-Lian retracted the spikes and slowly lowered her gaze to Duan Heyun's abdomen.

"A-Lian!" Duan Heyun tensed up at the sight of her eyes. "These people can't be trusted. They just want to use you against me!"

Dong Rui chimed in from the side: "Wrong, it's about dealing with Helu Tian."

“This person can no longer control you or hurt you,” He Lingchuan said softly. “You don’t need to hide it anymore.”

Duan Heyun couldn't help but ask, "What are you hiding!"

“To conceal her hatred for you.” He Lingchuan slowly took two steps back. “Xiao Ping is right. A-Lian hates you to the bone, but she was locked in a cage before and could only play this boring father-daughter role-playing game with you, otherwise she would be punished. Actually, you know this in your heart, but you are just addicted to the game and can’t extricate yourself, right?”

He was an observer, yet adept at understanding people's hearts. From the first time he witnessed the way A-Lian and Duan Heyun interacted, he knew that this little demon puppet was filled with hatred, but had simply learned to disguise it.

From birth until now, no one has deliberately taught her how to pretend and lie, and she has no one to imitate. So how did she learn it?
Of course, it was the harsh reality of the experimental field that taught her a lesson.

Ah Lian learns things so quickly, which means she has a good memory, so she won't easily forget the fact that she was ultimately an experimental subject.

"A-Lian," Duan Heyun said in a hoarse voice, "Hasn't your father treated you well?"

The Nine Nether Emperor's words tore away all the pretense of warmth and affection, pointing directly to the truth.

She was just an experiment. What genuine father-daughter affection existed between him and A-Lian?

"No." Ah Lian didn't even blink, her eyes dark and unfathomable. "You used to cut and stab me, inject me with medicine, making me suffer terribly, just like that crazy woman. I remember it all. It wasn't until I imitated the children in the farm and grew into a human form that you changed towards me. You told me to call you 'Father,' and I did; you told me to smile at you, and I smiled; the more you liked something, the more I wanted to become that way, so that you would treat me well and I would suffer less."

Finally, she asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Duan Heyun was speechless.

Suddenly, Ah Lian's face changed. Her nose flattened, her eyes shifted to her forehead, and her skin darkened. Everyone could see her gums.

A perfectly healthy little girl has been turned into a monster with asymmetrical features.
