Chapter 1286: Life Revolver

White also remembered. He had indeed arrived in the South Sea Domain yesterday.

After a brief exchange with Chu Muyun, he had been observing the situation in secret, looking for the most opportune moment to act. He didn't make his move until the Pu family members dispersed to search for Chen Ling, at which point he attacked the Pu family head.

Actually, White had long thought the King of Silver was foolish. As a thief, he even engaged in direct combat with enemies, especially in the Boundless Domain, where he was almost single-handedly killed by the mere eighth-rank Hong Xiu... If there weren't so few demigods in the world, White didn't believe the King of Silver's approach would have allowed him to survive for so long.

White would not repeat the King of Silver's mistakes. Therefore, as the newly appointed leader of the Path of the God of Thieves, he chose a different path...

His eighth-rank skill was not the Revolving Door of Yesterday, but the Revolving Door of Life.

The King of Silver's Revolving Door of Yesterday could selectively exchange memory fragments and perform memory exchanges with multiple targets simultaneously. However, its drawback was that the exchanged memories retained the original interpersonal relationships, posing a risk that the target might discover logical inconsistencies. Therefore, to maintain this state long-term, "doubts" had to be regularly stolen.

However, White's Revolving Door of Life, even for him as the caster, could not determine which specific memory segment to exchange, and it could only be used on one target at a time... What they exchanged was no longer fragments of memory, but an entire life.

When the bullet carrying White's life silently shot into the back of the family head's head, all memories of the two eighth-rank individuals were inverted at that moment. It was as if two souls had entered each other's bodies, each possessing complete memories, so they wouldn't notice the slightest abnormality. Even their appearances exchanged.

Of course, to perfectly integrate into the identity of the Pu family head, White directly manipulated his Mind Serpent to devour all memories of himself activating the Revolving Door of Life...

At that moment, the Pu family head completely became "White," and White completely became the "Pu family head."

They would completely think from each other's perspectives. White would determine how to capture Chen Ling, while the Pu family head would meticulously plan to save Chen Ling. Only when White's plan was complete and the Mind Serpent returned the devoured Revolving Door memory to White would he gradually awaken from the role of the "Pu family head"... and then deactivate the Revolving Door of Life's effect.

If White were merely an eighth-rank individual, he could only achieve this much. But now, White was also the leader of the Path of the God of Thieves, having inherited the King of Silver's legacy. Besides his own Moon Borrowing ability, he could vaguely sense the existence of other paths.

Although only eighth-rank, he couldn't manipulate other paths as freely as the King of Silver. However, he could use some simple skills. For example, the aura of the Path of the God of Thieves released by the Pu family head just now was actually a wisp of White's own God of Thieves Path leader aura, which he had stolen in advance using the Nianxing Path and attached to the Pu family head.

However, White could currently only perform simple aura theft. If he could advance to a demigod one day and easily steal an entire path's ability like the King of Silver, then the effect of the Revolving Door of Life would be infinitely close to "perfect exchange."

"The Pu family head" walked through an unnoticed alleyway. His appearance gradually reverted to its original form. White gently pulled down the brim of his baseball cap and looked back at the Pu family ancestral array that had sealed space and time.

Presumably, the Pu family members would never have imagined that the Pu family ancestral array had trapped not "White," but the true Pu family head.

It was unknown what the Pu family head, who had also recovered his memories by now, would think upon seeing himself trapped within the array personally set up by his own ancestors...

White's gaze turned towards the rail gate at the edge of the domain. There, a figure holding a small hammer was forcefully breaking through the swarming enemies.

White didn't hesitate, stepping directly towards that spot. He glanced back over his shoulder and murmured:

"Heart 6, I can only help you this much..."

"The rest... is up to you."

Whoosh—

A bone-chilling wind, as if from the underworld, swept in from the surging, iceberg-filled sea. Large shards of ice collided with each other, shattering the frozen waves.

Overwhelming fragments of ice, like a massive hailstorm, clattered onto the sea surface and the railway tracks...

Figures huddled at the end of the broken tracks, letting the icy rain pelt them, their faces deathly pale.

"Hold onto the tracks!!!"

Old Wolf's roar echoed amidst the wailing of a colossal beast and the tinkling of ice rain.

At this point, everyone felt numb, but upon hearing Old Wolf's shout, they instinctively clutched the bitterly cold steel tracks beneath them, even though they were already shivering from the cold...

They didn't know what they were struggling for; even if they held on tighter, survival seemed impossible here. Yet, their primal instinct to live compelled them to do so.

"I can't believe the South Sea Domain is so heartless... They didn't even give us a chance to speak."

"Teacher Ye..."

"What do we do now?"

The struggling members of the Integration Faction simultaneously turned to look at Teacher Ye, their dim eyes holding only a faint glimmer of hope... Teacher Ye was their lighthouse, their last hope.

Teacher Ye's eyes were fixed on the three-eyed giant turtle coiled on the sea surface. The turtle's azure pupils seemed to be looking back, their gazes meeting across the water.

Teacher Ye remained silent for a long time, then spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I'll go talk to him."

"Talk?" Old Wolf was taken aback. "They've already sealed the gates... How can we talk now? And to whom??"

Teacher Ye didn't answer, simply slowly pulling an injection syringe from his pocket...

...and plunging it into his arm.

South Sea Domain.

"Chen Ling is gone!! Go find him, quickly!!"

"Search separately, he should have gone in this direction just now!"

"Once found, do not act rashly. Send a signal and wait for others to join the encirclement!"

Figures swiftly swept through the air, as if frantically searching for something, but the streets were mostly empty now. As far as the eye could see, not a single person was in sight.

They did not notice that in a small, shadowy corner, a figure made of red paper swiftly flashed past like a phantom.

He moved like an agile water snake, silently slipping through street after street. The young Pu family members who occasionally flew overhead didn't even notice his presence. He continued straight through large sections of the district, heading directly towards a specific direction.

He wasn't heading towards the wilderness to escape pursuit, nor towards the rail exit to leave the domain...

His destination, surprisingly, was the very center of the South Sea Domain!

Just tens of seconds later,

A red-robed figure abruptly stepped across the threshold of the South Sea Government building!!

"Chu Changqing!!!!!"

"Come out—and face me!!!!"
