Xing Chen always felt that something was amiss.

Even if the impression was very deep, in Talulah's eyes at this moment, Koschei was still Koschei, not the later Black Snake.

"Theresa, I have a guess," Xing Chen walked over to Theresa and rested his chin on her shoulder.

He pretended to be close to her to comfort her, but in reality, he was discussing their next move, "I suspect there might be an old Black Snake's scheme hidden within these memories."

"You have a point," Theresa considered Xing Chen's idea and offered her own explanation.

"If the Black Snake has truly been alive for some time, he must have encountered other sorcerers specializing in psychic arts.

The fact that he's still alive and kicking shows that he has a mature set of defensive measures."

"Like pulling people into a flood of memories to conceal his actual location?"

"It could also be to make others mistakenly believe they've cleaned him out.

And, as you mentioned before, he has more than one vessel, so his true form might be a... what kind of cloud was it again?"

"Cloud server."

The shadow of the mobile city drew closer, and Talulah turned her head to see Xing Chen and Theresa still being affectionate.

So, she turned to Patriot and asked if all Demon Kings were like this.

Patriot told her that Theresa was still very young, and it was normal to be infatuated when she met someone she liked.

The two of them were actually not far apart in age, both over two hundred years old.

"Mr. Xing Chen, Ms. Theresa, we need to figure out a way to enter Lungmen," Alina came over to remind them.

"Lungmen? No, we don't need to go in," Theresa shook her head.

"Why?" Talulah and Alina asked simultaneously.

"Because we suspect this is a trap to hinder or deceive us," Theresa told the Ursus trio their deduction.

"There are too many important moments in your memories, and the Black Snake might not be hidden in a single fragment; these are all diversions.

Don't forget one thing: he also has to control other bodies, so there should be a separate deep space for him."

Based on past experience, most people might search fragment by fragment, but Xing Chen and Theresa's approach indicated that the opponent might use conventional thinking as a means of protection.

"Then where might it be hidden?" Alina asked.

"Originium," Theresa touched herself, and beneath her clothes were the Originium crystals on her skin, "For us, Originium represents everything."

Xing Chen remembered that in Niv's unofficial history, Patriot's father had planned to use Originium to interfere with other history-makers.

This shows that even in non-real spaces, Originium can still play its role.

Originium is the only reality.

Thinking of this, Xing Chen began to worry.

Was bringing Originium back to his original world the right choice?

No, even if he didn't bring it, the world already had Originium, and it was even more dangerous than his.

By the way, what was his mindset when he made that decision back then? He had no memory of it at all.

Xing Chen had a direct experience of left and right brain conflict.

"Bozdcasti, cover Xing Chen's eyes."

Theresa gave the order, and Patriot glanced at Xing Chen, seemingly puzzled by the purpose of the command.

"What are you waiting for?" Theresa urged, and Patriot, too lazy to think, obeyed the command and used his tall body to block Xing Chen from the girls' group.

On the other side, Xiao Te's voice urging Talulah to undress also came.

The last time he asked, they certainly didn't have this attitude.

"So small, so cute."

"Ms. Theresa, can you please stop touching the Originium crystals on my body?"

"Just a little revenge, don't mind it... Bozdcasti, have Xing Chen come over for a moment.

Alina, you go cover his eyes; a Wendigo's claws might indeed be inconvenient for that."

After Xing Chen and Theresa settled their accounts on the coast, they always suspected it might be related to Originium (Internalized Universe) or the continuation of civilization.

In other words, being together might unlock some special abilities.

Xing Chen felt his arm go cold, and the next second, he lost all sensation there.

"There really is a new space?"

Alina let go, and Xing Chen saw a blood-red vortex.

It was somewhat similar to the description of the annanah entrance; could the Black Snake's true form be in the Internalized Universe? This could explain why it could directly influence the people of the entire Ursus Empire.

Everyone passed through the vortex, and beyond the door was a snowfield.

A figure with countless black tentacles extending from its back sat on a white chair, with Talulah's longsword resting by its hand.

"You've come, Talulah," the figure, exuding immense pressure, said to everyone, "How did you find this place... could it be Sarkaz witchcraft?"

"the collective souls formed countless years before the so-called Ursus Empire; our ancestors are always with us."

After speaking, Theresa yielded her position to Talulah.

The Black Snake was not a tangible entity that could be harmed by swords; now, Xing Chen and Theresa had made it an attackable target, already making a very significant contribution.

Her difficulties should be resolved by her, as she and Xing Chen had agreed.

By the way, why was Xing Chen silent?

Talulah picked up her sword and fought the Black Snake, while Theresa came to her beloved's side.

Xing Chen clutched his chest, leaning against the Wendigo.

"Xing Chen, what's wrong?"

Xing Chen lived much better on Terra than she did because most negative feelings had no effect on him, so why did he look so pained this time?

"It feels like there's something inside my body."

Theresa quickly pressed her ear against him, but despite using various Originium Arts, she couldn't detect anything.

"Could it be that you're allergic to this space?"

"Possibly," Xing Chen nodded, "You go check on Talulah quickly; I don't think she can beat the Black Snake."

Xing Chen felt that the current Talulah had not yet experienced major events, and her inner self could not be as resolute as the old Black Snake.

And in this space, the effect of idealism was even stronger.

As expected, Talulah was quickly suppressed by the old Black Snake.

Just as it was about to swing its sword to kill Talulah, a pure white sword blocked it.

No matter how hard it tried, Theresa's diamond remained unmoving.

"You truly disappoint me; go back and practice some more."

Theresa directly sent the old Black Snake flying, while simultaneously releasing a speck of dust, constantly attacking both it and her Originium Arts creation.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the Black Snake's figure disappeared, and many black tentacles appeared on Theresa's speck of dust.

"Here, I've sealed it," Theresa handed the Black Snake, fused with the speck of dust, to Talulah.

"Why didn't you kill it?" Talulah asked, puzzled.

"Because later, you might still need its abilities."
