"I was there..."

Zhao Chuan shook his head, looking around at the pitch black and silent surroundings, feeling lost and bewildered.

"Even gods have lingering regrets, let alone a mere mortal."

A distant voice suddenly rang out, and from the long, endless darkness, a young man slowly emerged, his words filled with arrogance.

Zhao Chuan looked up and saw clearly the disdainful look in the eyes of the boy in front of him.

"Ahem, where is this? Who are you?"

Zhao Chuan coughed lightly, slowly stood up, clenched his fists, and stared warily at the boy in front of him.

"Haha, how ridiculous! This is reality, of course, and I am you."

The boy laughed wildly, his eyes serious, and he spoke with a dangerous yet playful tone.

"What a joke, I am who I am, how could I be you?"

The more Zhao Chuan looked at the boy in front of him, the more familiar he became with his handsome face. But when he looked into his eyes, his vigilance instantly increased. He saw that the boy's eyes were not filled with endless gentleness, but only with cold killing intent and emotionless regret. So he prepared to strike first and raised a punch to hit the boy.

"Do even tiny ants dare to rebel against humans?"

The boy looked at the incoming fist with amusement, sneered, dodged to the side, and then struck Zhao Chuan in the abdomen with an elbow strike. As Zhao Chuan retreated, the boy delivered a flying kick to his chest, sending him flying backward for several seconds.

"hateful!"

Zhao Chuan got up in a disheveled state, his chest aching terribly. He then realized that his strength was constantly disappearing and his physical strength was also decreasing.

"What do you think you can protect!"

The boy scoffed dismissively.

"Zhao Chuan, wake up... Xiao Chuan... wake up quickly."

At that moment, a familiar voice entered Zhao Chuan's mind, and he understood.

"Where I am is not darkness, where I am is light. This is not my home, but an illusion you have woven."

Zhao Chuan suddenly woke up as if from a dream. His eyes widened and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. A strong power surged out from his body and gathered in his right fist.

His right arm muscles tensed, veins bulged, and then he used all his strength to throw a punch at the seemingly endless, bottomless darkness in front of him!

In an instant, the entire space seemed to tremble. With a deafening roar, the darkness, like shattered glass, instantly cracked with countless fissures that spread rapidly at a visible speed.

Then, with a sharp "crash," all the darkness suddenly shattered, turning into countless fragments scattered all over the ground. And as the darkness dissipated...

"Ying! Maweika! Zhao Chuan has finally woken up!"

Paimon looked at Zhao Chuan, who was slowly opening his eyes, with a joyful expression. Then, he turned around and shouted loudly at the two people outside the door who were looking worried and anxious.

Upon hearing Paimon's shout, Ying and Mavika were initially taken aback, but then their faces immediately lit up with a mixture of surprise and delight.

They rushed into the room, their eyes eagerly fixed on Zhao Chuan lying on the bed.

Although Zhao Chuan was still somewhat weak, his eyes had gradually regained their clarity.

He blinked, looking around at the people gathered around the bed with a somewhat bewildered expression.

“Ying, Mavika, Paimon, and you guys are…!”

Zhao Chuan pressed one hand against his temple, gently rubbing it, as he looked at the five girls in front of him who were full of concern for him.

"Ahem, I forgot to introduce myself in the Land of Night. Hello, I'm Chaska, and this is my younger sister, Aiko."

Chaska coughed lightly and looked at the man in front of her with a slightly shy expression.

Hello! I'm Zhao Chuan!

Zhao Chuan nodded awkwardly in agreement.

"Demon... Zhao Chuan, how are you?"

Mavika asked worriedly, almost blurting out "Demon God" without her consent. Although Zhao Chuan reminded her several times, Mavika tried her best to correct her pronunciation.

"I'm fine now. I was just a little dizzy from being inside for so long."

Zhao Chuan shook his head and said indifferently.

"By the way, Zhao Chuan, how did you and Mavica meet?"

Paimon stared at the two of them with a curious expression and said...

"Since Paimon has asked, it's not impossible for me to tell you."

Mavica smiled, hands on her hips, about to say something, when Zhao Chuan, still on the bed, suddenly said something.

"Ahem, I'm a little tired today. You can all go out now. I'll talk to you about my relationship with Mavica next time."

Mavika noticed that Zhao Chuan's words were clearly hiding something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, then you should rest well. I'll go make you some nutritious soup."

Ying nodded without saying anything. Just as she was about to leave, she gave Chaska and Aiko a look, signaling them to follow.

"Hmph, cheapskate."

Paimon also heard Zhao Chuan's words, muttered a dissatisfied remark, and then left with Ying.

"Lord Demon God."

After they all left, Mavica ran over worriedly, took his hand, and looked him up and down.

“Mavika, you are now a god. Watch your image and don’t address me like that. We are now of the same level, or rather, you are a level above me.”

Zhao Chuan lowered his head helplessly. This goddess, who seemed aloof and dignified, was actually so cunning in private.

"In that case, that makes sense. I'll call you by your name from now on."

Mavica nodded in agreement with Zhao Chuan's words.

"Alright, you can go out too. I'll stay here by myself."

Zhao Chuan waved his hand dismissively, lay down on the bed, and ignored them.

In a corner outside the house...

"Kui Ke, you look a bit dejected. What did you do to check on Zhao Chuan's health?"

Seeing that no one was around, Ying looked at Kui Ke with suspicion, also worried about the risks of Zhao Chuan's trip.

"Hmm... I don't know how to put it, have you ever heard of the 'law of conservation of two energies'?"

Aoi sighed, her expression showing a hint of helplessness.

"Hmm, is that Fontaine's theory?"

Paimon looked thoughtful.

"more or less!"

Kui nodded in agreement.

"What is the connection between this and Zhao Chuan?"

Paimon asked, puzzled.

"Well, to put it simply, there are two energies within him. The one I'm more familiar with is the power of the abyss, which has already invaded his body. What's strange is that wherever the power of the abyss damages, another energy can quickly heal it. I can't quite explain what that energy is, but I can sense that it has an extremely strong life force. It's like the two energies are clashing, which explains why Mr. Zhao Chuan woke up unharmed."

Kui Ke also found this strange. She lowered her eyes slightly, pretending to think, and explained the pulse she had just seen.

"Therefore... the water of the primordial womb!"

Ying and Paimon thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said in unison.

"Well, do you know each other?"

Aoi asked, sounding somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, I've dealt with it before, and it's definitely not a good thing, but it should work on him, right..."

Paimon explained his experience in Fontainebleau, giving a brief overview.

"That doesn't make sense either. The power of the abyss within his body is clearly greater than the power of the primordial waters of the fetal sea. How could he have fought to a draw with him?"

Aoi found herself in another problem.

"What, how much is that?"

Ying frowned and asked worriedly.

The power of the abyss is extremely strange and powerful. She has witnessed firsthand how terrible the abyss can be to people, and she doesn't want such a thing to happen to her lover, so she is very anxious.

"To put it simply, if the abyssal power within him were placed on an ordinary person, they would instantly die and be controlled by the abyssal power. I can tell that he is no ordinary person."

Aoi took a deep breath and said incredulously.

"Yes, he is indeed no ordinary person, but he is still human. How torturous must it be to have so much abyssal power?"

Paimon thought about it for a moment, and said with some fear, "A person's body is full of filth."

"No, I can extract his abyssal power. I'll go."

Listening to Aoi's description, Ying could no longer bear to see him suffer like this.

"Hey, Ying, don't be impulsive!"

Chascara took her hand and nodded seriously.

"It's alright, Ying. Judging from his current state, the power within him can still suppress the power of the abyss. He should be aware of that himself."

Kui hurriedly tried to dissuade the anxious Ying.

"Ahem, let Ying in, I'll talk to him."

Zhao Chuan's gentle voice rang out, delicate and clear, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

"Oh dear, how did he hear our conversation?"

Kui scratched her head, not quite understanding.

"Hey, I already told you he's not an ordinary person."

Paimon, already used to this, said this and then drifted away with a speechless expression.

"Alright, little sister, let's go."

Chaska spoke calmly to Aoi.

The room was simple and unadorned, with the walls painted off-white, giving it a clean and uncluttered look.

The floor is covered with slightly old but clean wooden flooring, which makes a slight creaking sound when you walk on it.

In one corner of the room stood an old-fashioned wooden bed, covered with a plain-colored cotton quilt. Although it was somewhat faded, it still looked soft and comfortable.

There was a small bedside table next to the bed, on which sat an old-fashioned lamp with a yellowed shade that emitted a faint but warm light.

A simple desk sits by the window, with books and stationery neatly stacked on it.

Zhao Chuan sat on the bed, a smile on his face, his eyes filled with doting affection.

"Come here, sit here."

Zhao Chuan smiled slightly, his eyes bright, and spoke to Ying in a gentle voice.

"Why didn't you tell me how badly you've abused your body?"

Ying walked over, cupped his face in her hands, tears streaming down her face, and said to Zhao Chuan with a sob in her voice, her voice filled with heartache.

"It's okay, don't cry. Let me hug you. I'm alright!"

Zhao Chuan looked at Ying, who was crying because of him, and hugged her waist to comfort her with great heartache.

"You still say you're fine? Look at yourself! You heard our conversation just now. What are you trying to hide from me?"

Ying's eyes were deep, a hint of arrogance flashing within them, as she clenched her fists and gently pressed them against Zhao Chuan's chest.

"Hmm, it's not serious, it's nothing to worry about. Hmm, once this crisis is over, God will give you a healthy boyfriend in return."

Zhao Chuan gently stroked Ying's hair and whispered in her ear, his tone slightly mischievous.

"Really."

Ying wiped away the tears from under her eyes, her eyes revealing a pitiful and helpless look as she stared at Zhao Chuan.
