"Relax, little girl. You should have felt that I have no ill intentions towards you. I just asked you to come here because I wanted to ask something."

Speaking of this, Gao Qian's voice paused...

"However, I see that you have a lot of doubts in your mind. In exchange, I can answer your doubts first. You can ask whatever you want."

Gao Qian's words calmed Ye Qingxuan's condition a lot.

Indeed, she felt almost no hostility or malice from Gao Qian.

After adjusting her mentality and trying her best to regain her composure, she turned her attention to Gao Qian again.

"Then you're welcome. May I ask if your majesty ever gave my ancestor Ye Chongshan some scrolls with the ability to transfer space?"

"have."

Gao Qian nodded.

"But it's not a gift. Back then, your Ye Chamber of Commerce had a close cooperative relationship with our Guyue Empire, which involved a lot. Whether it was public or private, ensuring your safety is also very important to us.

"

"This time, your country's space scroll was used, so it was transferred here. However, the mark on the scroll should not be here. The scroll has been left for too long. Is there an error?"

Ye Qingxuan continued to ask questions in his heart.

And Gao Qian also gave the answer in a leisurely manner.

"The quality of the space scroll given to you by Ye's Chamber of Commerce is good. As time goes by, the power of the scroll may weaken, but it is unlikely that it will go wrong. Little girl, tell me about the situation at that time."

In this regard, Ye Qingxuan did not hide anything, and quickly told the story of being attacked by the tide of the Lost Realm and then using the space scroll to escape.

After listening, Gao Qian's face showed a look of understanding.

"So that's it, you were attacked by the Soul Eater Demon."

"Soul Eater?"

"Yes, the guy who attacked you should be the Soul Eater. It has been surrounding the periphery of our Guyue Empire. There are powerful interferences around it, and there are also spatial coordinates inside our Guyue Empire. In that situation, you

If we activate the space scroll, it is not impossible that the interfered space scroll mistakenly locks the space coordinates on our side and transmits it."

Although this was just Gao Qian's speculation, Ye Qingxuan felt that this was most likely true.

"In other words, the tide of the Lost Realm is not actually a unique phenomenon of this universe, but the soul-eating demon. Your country is surrounded by the soul-eating demon, and we are still in the second universe now?"

"According to your statement, it can be understood this way."

"Then, what happened when the Soul Eater suddenly expanded its coverage area on a large scale? According to your country's neighbor, the Black Iron Empire, the tide of the Lost Realm, which is the Soul Eater, has been expanding outward in the past.

, there is no pattern to be found, but after each expansion, the interval is at least several hundred years. However, during this period, the Soul Eater carried out two consecutive expansions in a very short period of time.

The following is the use of space scrolls in the second expansion."

As soon as she talked about this matter, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a little crazy in her heart. This soul-eating demon really didn't play according to common sense at all.

I was obviously staying in a safe area, but I was surprised to be affected!

Facing Ye Qingxuan's head full of questions, Gao Qian, who was sitting on the throne, still looked unhurried.

Gao Qian actually didn't know much about the neighbor named 'Black Iron Empire' that Ye Qingxuan mentioned.

From a time perspective, the Black Iron Empire only developed at least in the middle of the Age of Discovery, and their Guyue Empire had already collapsed before that, so it was naturally impossible for him to know.

However, this obviously does not affect Gao Qian's explanation of the situation of the Soul Eater.

"The Soul Eater is an evil spirit that uses souls as food to continuously grow itself. After you get close to a certain range, it smells the smell of 'food' and will naturally come and devour you."

"As for the rising tide phenomenon you mentioned, you can simply understand that the Soul Eater is hungry, so it goes out to look for food."

"The tide has only risen once in the past few hundred years because in those years, the Soul Eater's main target was the spiritual bodies within our Guyue Empire. They stayed full all year round and went out to look for food just because they happened to

There is 'food' that breaks into its range of perception, so it constitutes what you call a rising tide."

"As for why the tide has been rising frequently recently, it's because all the spiritual bodies on the periphery of our Guyue Empire have been wiped out by the Soul-Eating Demon, and a large-scale barrier has been set up inside, making it impossible for the Soul-Eating Demon to easily

Break in."

"As time passed, the food in the Soul Eater's belly was almost digested, but it couldn't find new food to fill its stomach, so it began to expand outwards on a large scale in search of food."

At this point, Gao Qian's voice paused.

"According to what you said, the Soul Eater's stomach is far from full. If the location of the Black Iron Empire is not discovered by the Soul Eater, it would be okay, but once it is discovered, it may not be able to stop.

"

As soon as Gao Qian said these words, Ye Qingxuan's heart suddenly twitched. She didn't even dare to think about that scene.

During this period, Gao Qian continued to talk...

"In fact, the reason why Gu Jiang called you here is also related to this soul-eating demon."

"The Soul Eater uses souls as food. The more souls it devours, the stronger it becomes. The stronger it becomes, the stronger its power, and its appetite will become larger. Then in order to fill its stomach, it will seek out and devour

More souls…”

At this point, Gao Qian didn't say anything further, or in other words, there was no need to say anything more. Ye Qingxuan, who was standing below, had already reacted and completely changed his expression.

"So, theoretically speaking, it can swallow all living things in the universe?"

After saying this, Ye Qingxuan, who seemed to have thought of something else, quickly added another sentence.

"But that should take an extremely long time, right?"

"It can be said that, but in fact, when it grows to a certain extent, the overly powerful Soul Eater will become difficult to eliminate. Once it reaches that point, the destruction of the world will be a matter of time.

"

While speaking, Gao Qian paused for a moment, as if giving Ye Qingxuan some time to digest.

"As you can see, we are trapped in here. We can't get out, and there is no way to spread the news. Originally, I thought that people from the outside world might be able to detect the existence of the Soul-Eating Demon. While the Soul-Eating Demon is still there,

When they are not that strong, gather strength and destroy them..."

Having said this, Gao Qian spread her hands with a half-smile.

"But now it seems that there is not."
