God of Pets

Chapter 57: Eternal Reflection
"Anyone who insults my king... must be killed..." A murderous voice actually emanated from the shadow. The black shadow raised his hand, and a sword shadow flashed across the sky and disappeared.

Ming Fei's body was instantly split in half by the shadow, and she didn't even have time to scream.

Chen Guan was both surprised and happy. He didn't expect that the shadow would follow him out of the underground crack, and it was so terrifying that it could kill Ming Fei with just one blow.

Ming Fei's body was split into two halves, and her body suddenly dispersed and turned into thousands of white light particles, flying towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan subconsciously retreated, but just as he took half a step back, countless white light particles rushed into his body.

The shadow stood there, but did not intend to stop him.

Chen Guan reacted and realized that this was just petting and there was no threat.

When all the white light particles poured into Chen Guan's body, one more pet information appeared.

Ming Fei (Peerless): Level 1 spiritual pet.

Vitality: 1.

Growth rate: 2.0.

Innate talent: Holy Body (unparalleled).

Secret method: Joyful method (unique).

Secret Technique: Prajna Method (unique).

Secret treasure: Sora Myoga (peerless).

Special: Reincarnation of residual soul, not in perfect state.

Chen Guan didn't have time to study Mingfei's pet. His eyes were fixed on the shadow in front of him.

The shadow stood there motionless, as if gazing at the starry sky.

"Who are you?" Chen Guan didn't say anything until the shadow turned around and looked at him, then he asked.

"A...small...pawn...of the Qin Dynasty..." Ancient syllables emanated from the shadow, but the body fell to the ground and turned into the shadow under Chen Guan's feet again.

Chen Guan looked down for a long time, but couldn't see any difference in his shadow. If it weren't for what happened just now, he would never have thought that there was someone else's shadow parasitizing inside his own shadow.

"It seems that if I want to know the origin of this shadow, I can only ask Mingfei." Chen Guanxian left the forest and walked around for a long time to make sure that he was not being followed before returning home.

He returned to his room, closed the door, and summoned Mingfei out.

The originally dark room was suddenly illuminated by fluorescent light, and Ming Fei, dressed in exquisite gauze, appeared in front of Chen Guan. However, at this time, she could no longer float in the air, and fell to the ground like an ordinary secret spirit. Moreover, her aura was far less majestic than before.

"Ming Fei." Seeing Ming Fei's dull eyes and standing there like a puppet, Chen Guan couldn't help but frown slightly and called him softly.

"Master." Ming Fei responded, but her eyes were still dull, completely devoid of her previous spirit.

"Are you pretending to have amnesia in front of me?" Chen Guan sneered, staring at Ming Fei and continuing, "Answer my questions properly. I won't embarrass you. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind learning from you and performing the Joyful Method again." Ming Fei's previously empty eyes suddenly regained clarity. She looked at Chen Guan, sighed softly, and said, "I've already become your pet, so why are you so aggressive?"

"You know you're my pet now, and a pet should have the ethics of a pet." Chen Guan snorted coldly, "What's with the shadow?"

"How should I know what's going on? Isn't he following you?" Ming Fei said.

"It seems that you really don't want to live a good life." Chen Guan said with a cold look in his eyes, staring at Ming Fei.

Ming Fei said helplessly: "I only know that he is Qiangu Zhaoying. I really know nothing about his origins."

"What is the Eternal Reflection?" Chen Guan asked.

"When a person dies, his shadow disappears. No shadow can exist independently. Only in some special circumstances can a person leave behind an eternal shadow after death, which is called an eternal reflection."

Ming Fei paused and said, "There are many ways in which an Eternal Shadow can form. The most likely scenario is a terrifying energy explosion in a short period of time. A person is transformed into nothingness by the terrifying energy, but their shadow is reflected due to some reason in the energy, forming an Eternal Shadow. Just like in some ancient buildings, where areas have been struck by lightning, figures of ancient people will appear during thunderstorms. This is a type of Eternal Shadow. However, such Eternal Shadows are only shadows, without any form or substance. They are impossible to touch, and it is even more impossible for them to possess consciousness and unleash such terrifying energy."

After saying this, Concubine Ming looked at Chen Guan and asked, "Was this shadow originally in the Imperial Palace?"

"What underground palace? I only see a crack in the ground." Chen Guan said.

"That's right, that's the Imperial Palace, the place left behind by the Emperor's ancestors. However, it was destroyed in a great war, and the 'Emperor's Royal Scripture' engraved on the stone wall was also erased by me."

Ming Fei was truly intelligent. Just by knowing where the shadow came from, she had already deduced the cause and effect: "If my guess is correct, you should have seen the Imperial Scripture, right? But those scriptures are not engraved on the stone wall."

"You mean, those scriptures are also eternal reflections?" Chen Guan understood what she meant.

"Yes, I was too hasty at that time and only had time to destroy the inscriptions on the stone wall. I didn't expect that there would be a shadow preserved for thousands of years. I think the scriptures and the shadow should have been left behind in that great battle." Ming Fei sighed.

It is true that man proposes, God disposes. She had clearly destroyed the "Emperor's Scripture", but she did not expect that the "Emperor's Scripture" would be passed down in this form. She could never have imagined it in her dreams.

If the "Emperor's Royal Scripture" had not existed, she would not have ended up in this situation and would have turned Chen Guan into a cauldron long ago.

"What kind of war was that?" Chen Guan asked.

"I don't know. When I was brought to the island by the Emperor and imprisoned in the statue of Mahakala, the island already looked like that. I can only guess from some traces that a shocking war had taken place there. As for what kind of war it was, I have no idea."

"But it is certain that the shadow was left behind in that great war. A shadow can actually possess such terrifying power, which shows how terrifying the war was at that time. Unfortunately, a shadow is just a shadow. Even if it still has faith, it has no consciousness and cannot be considered a real living person." Mingfei figured it out and felt extremely regretful.

If she had not insulted the Emperor, she probably would not have aroused Shadow's faith, and would not have been killed by him, and would have had to choose to be petted in order to survive.

Chen Guan naturally thought of this as well, and thought to himself, "Could this shadow be following me because I praised the Emperor?"

"How about we make a deal? I will teach you the secret method created by the Emperor, and you will help me get rid of my pet body." Ming Fei looked at Chen Guan and said.

"I have already obtained the "Emperor's Sutra", why do I need you to teach me?" Chen Guan stared at Ming Fei and said, with some vague guesses in his mind.

"You're right. Although the Imperial Scripture was left by the Emperor, it wasn't created by him. It was only left to counter me. The secret technique created by the Emperor has a separate legacy, and I was imprisoned in the Mahakala statue specifically to pass on this secret technique." Ming Fei said, emphasizing each word. "The secret technique truly created by the Emperor is called 'One'."
