The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 624: Heart Demon Clan

Chapter 624: Heart Demon Clan

In general, Transcendents rarely undergo mutations; it is only common people who are susceptible to such changes.

This is why Eastern Emperor was so alarmed when he discovered Du Jing's mutation. He had never considered that Du Jing could undergo such a transformation.

The catalyst for Du Jing's mutation was none other than the Blue Crystal, coincidentally carried by Eastern Emperor, who had the Red Crystal. The two substances were drawn to each other, directly merging into Du Jing's body, causing her transformation to halt. However, her body could not endure the fusion of these two substances, and she immediately fell into a coma.

Ordinary comas might not pose a significant threat, but these two substances were far from ordinary. They caused her consciousness to detach from her body, trapping it in a peculiar Psychic space. If it weren't for Su Chen locating her consciousness, it might have remained there indefinitely.

During the years that Du Jing's body remained comatose, her consciousness endured a life akin to a prison within the Psychic space.

Gradually, Du Jing's consciousness began to change.

While it had been pure to begin with, spending time in the Psychic space introduced impurities into her consciousness.

These impurities identified themselves as the Heart Demon Clan, claiming to be here to help her understand the true nature of the world.

Initially, Du Jing didn't believe in them at all. Yet, the Psychic space had been desolate and lonely, and over time, she started conversing with the Heart Demon Clan.

The more they talked, the more she realized that the Heart Demon Clan possessed a wealth of knowledge, not only about Earth but astonishingly about the universe as well.

"Are you really born from me?" Du Jing couldn't help but doubt.

"Absolutely true. The Heart Demon Clan can be seen as a collective, with each member of the Heart Demon Clan able to share the knowledge of others. Everything I know has been shared with me by other members of the Heart Demon Clan. They celebrated my birth as soon as it happened," the Heart Demon Clan replied.

It was through the guidance of the Heart Demon Clan that Du Jing gradually gained control over the Psychic space. This was the reason why Su Chen and Libra had seen the City when they first entered.

Su Chen had overlooked this fact, as an unguided consciousness couldn't possibly evolve such a realistic City within the Psychic space.

Had it not been for the inability of consciousness to survive outside for extended periods, Du Jing would have left the Psychic space on her own long ago.

Later, Su Chen found her consciousness and returned it to her body, allowing her to wake up. She was actually quite pleased, as she could finally see her son and husband again.

However, she was met with devastating news - her son had died.

Upon learning that her son had died on a mission, she did not blame Eastern Emperor. But in her solitude, she wept silently when no one was around.

After some time, the Heart Demon Clan suddenly appeared and told her shocking news: her son had been killed by her own husband. Du Jing was both stunned and disbelieving.

So, they made a deal. If the Heart Demon Clan could prove that her son had indeed been killed by Eastern Emperor, then her body would belong to them.

If not, the Heart Demon Clan would willingly disappear!

Coincidentally, at that moment, a survivor from the Qiluo Civilization appeared, and everything fell into place. They began their plan.

At this point, it was the Heart Demon Clan that controlled Du Jing's body.

Midway through, Du Jing realized that the plan had gone too far and tried to stop it, but it was too late.

There was a clause in the deal that allowed the Heart Demon Clan to temporarily control her body, and Du Jing couldn't object.

Now, with Eastern Emperor revealing the truth in person, Du Jing has broken down. The deal is concluded, and the Heart Demon Clan has claimed her body. Her consciousness will be forever imprisoned within it.

By the way, Du Jing is indeed human, but this Heart Demon Clan is not what it claims to be. It did not originate from Du Jing but has been an ancient existence of the Heart Demon Clan!

At the same time, it was a Heart Demon Clan born from a certain Winged Clan!

As for why it appeared inside that Psychic space, pretending to be Du Jing's Heart Demon Clan, nobody except itself knew.

In the scene, Du Jing remained silent, her head lowered, Eastern Emperor wore a cold and silent expression. At this moment, Zhu Hui could only hastily contact Su Chen, asking when reinforcements would arrive.

"Brother, don't worry. My people are nearby and can provide support at any time," Su Chen transmitted, bringing relief to Zhu Hui.

"A Cheng, let's retreat," Zhu Hui transmitted. However, Eastern Emperor seemed as if he hadn't heard.

Zhu Hui was helpless; Eastern Emperor had always been this stubborn. It would take an extraordinary effort to change his mind.

Just as Zhu Hui was considering whether to forcefully take Eastern Emperor away, Du Jing suddenly lifted her head. A peculiar smile graced her face, her eyes lost their white parts, becoming pitch black, and incredibly eerie.

"I must thank you, Eastern Emperor Wu Cheng," Du Jing spoke in an ominous voice, resembling a witch's incantation.

Zhu Hui was puzzled. What did she mean by that?

But what Eastern Emperor said next left him utterly baffled.

"You're not her!"

Eastern Emperor's tone was resolute, without a hint of hesitation.

Du Jing wasn't Du Jing? What did that mean?

However, Zhu Hui quickly realized one possibility: someone else had taken over Du Jing's body!

He knew from personal experience how dark and surreal that could be; it was like living in a nightmare.

If Su Chen hadn't forced Les's consciousness out, Zhu Hui might still be in that state, trapped forever.

"Someone else's consciousness has taken over Du Jing's body!" This was Zhu Hui's only conclusion.

"Who are you? Did you orchestrate everything that happened before?" Zhu Hui shouted.

Du Jing's mouth curled into a mocking smile. "I'm surprised. Just with one sentence, you figured it out? And Emperor Ming, you sure like to talk nonsense. No, it wasn't me. Could it have been the real Du Jing?"

Before Zhu Hui could respond, Eastern Emperor spoke up, "If she didn't do everything, then..."

"Give her body back!"

Eastern Emperor erupted with scorching energy, at this moment resembling a sun, radiating unparalleled light and heat.

Zhu Hui's face turned pale; Eastern Emperor was channeling all his energy. It was a do-or-die move. Even if he survived, he would become an ordinary person.

In other words, Eastern Emperor, by doing this, would become an ordinary person even if he lived through it.

Zhu Hui was too late to stop him; he saw the unwavering determination in Eastern Emperor.

He was determined to save his wife with his own hands, a duty he held as a husband!

With his full power unleashed, Eastern Emperor's strength was nearing the level of a Small Galaxy. At this moment, he could temporarily venture into space without any issue.

But he overlooked one thing: "Du Jing" was surrounded by countless Winged Clan.
