"We... we are..."
The Overseer clutched his head in agony, trying to stop himself from speaking, but the words spilled out uncontrollably, one after another.
"We are the Overseers responsible for maintaining the balance of various worlds. The Origin Upper Realm and the myriad Origin Lower Realms are all within my jurisdiction..."
After answering Ye Ling's question, the Overseer's eyes grew increasingly fearful.
Revealing their work content to the beings in the world was an absolute taboo!
Once discovered by the superiors...
"No, no... I can't continue!"
The Overseer seemed to recall something terrifying. Unable to remain in place, he directly dismantled the barrier he had set up around them, then tore open space and plunged into the spatial rift!
"I haven't finished asking my questions yet? Where do you think you're going?"
Seeing the Overseer tear through space, a hint of amusement flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He didn't immediately pursue, merely standing still and waiting quietly, as if certain the Overseer would return.
As expected, not long after escaping, the Overseer voluntarily burrowed back out of the opened spatial rift.
"I, why did I come back on my own?"
The Overseer was filled with fear and confusion upon finding himself back.
He had clearly escaped and distanced himself from Ye Ling, yet the moment he left this space, a strong desire to return to this space surged from the depths of his heart!
Then, he returned on his own accord!
The Overseer could not comprehend his own actions!
Ye Ling smiled, watching the Overseer's near-collapse, and said, "Didn't I tell you? The Mo Zhi Jian can alter your cognition."
"And after you attempted to possess my clone, the Mo Zhi Jian and the Devouring Domain hidden within the clone began to operate subtly, gradually changing your cognition."
"As you are now, you cannot refuse to answer any of my questions, nor can you leave this space."
"Everything you are doing now stems from the deepest part of your heart. No matter how much your reason tries to stop you, it is a desire from your instincts, something your reason cannot possibly resist!"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the Overseer trembled violently and stammered, "Al-alter my cognition..."
Muttering to himself, the Overseer seemed to realize something. He immediately looked inward at the soul he had possessed and discovered that his possessed soul had transformed into dense, intricate text!
He had merely descended into this world with his consciousness. Both his body and soul were that of Ye Ling's clone.
But now, Ye Ling had used some method to completely merge his consciousness with the soul of Ye Ling's clone.
Now, the soul of Ye Ling's clone was his soul!
Everything Ye Ling had modified with the Mo Zhi Jian was also affecting his consciousness!
Unless he could completely sever himself from Ye Ling's clone, he could not resist Ye Ling's Mo Zhi Jian!
But the crucial point was that he couldn't leave Ye Ling's clone at all!
It was a dead end for him now!
Ye Ling didn't waste any more time and continued to question the Overseer, "What organization do you work for?"
According to the Overseer's account, he was merely a worker, at best a senior employee.
Ye Ling had seen countless eyes in the Book of Origin. If each pair of eyes represented an Overseer, it meant that behind the Overseers, there existed an unimaginably colossal entity!
Perhaps, the goal of Good and Evil was to deal with that colossal entity... and Ye Ling was now deeply embroiled in the situation. He now had an opportunity to understand the final boss, so he naturally couldn't let it go!
When the Overseer heard Ye Ling's question, his eyes grew even more fearful, but he was utterly incapable of refusing to answer Ye Ling. He blurted out, "It's... the Yi Shi..."
*BEEP—!*
As the Overseer was speaking, a strange sound echoed all around, and then his voice abruptly cut off. His entire body slumped to the ground.
"What?"
Seeing the Overseer's change, Ye Ling's expression shifted slightly. He immediately stepped forward to check the Overseer's condition, only to find that the Overseer's consciousness had vanished!
"Escaped?"
Ye Ling frowned upon not finding the Overseer's consciousness, then shook his head. "No... there are signs of burning on a portion of my clone's soul... that Overseer should be dead."
"Did my question touch upon a core secret, causing the organization behind it to sense something unusual, and then they directly erased the Overseer?"
Ye Ling released his clone and immediately saw his clone ignite, eventually turning to ash.
"The words 'Yi Shi' that the Overseer mentioned... could it refer to an alien world? Is the organization behind him called Yi Shi? It shouldn't have such a strange name, right?"
"Then what do the words 'Yi Shi' refer to?"
Ye Ling murmured to himself, but the abrupt death of the Overseer deprived him of much crucial information, making it impossible to analyze many things.
According to Ye Ling's original plan, after controlling the Overseer with the Mo Zhi Jian and extracting all the information, he would then turn the Overseer into his slave and send him back as a spy.
However, judging from the current situation, the organization behind the Overseer exercised extremely strict control over its members. The plan to plant a spy in that organization would likely not work.
"Right... this Overseer also captured a mysterious woman... finding her should yield some useful information."
Ye Ling muttered to himself, temporarily putting aside the matter of the Overseer's organization, and made a move to tear open this space.
After the Overseer's demise, the space within this Sword Tomb had become extremely fragile. Ye Ling, with almost no effort, entered the spatial rift that connected this independent space and the Shang Qing Mountain.
It was a small independent space temporarily created by the Overseer.
Inside, Ye Ling found A Yun, who stood there dumbfounded, and the mysterious girl, who was bound tightly.
"A Yun!"
Seeing A Yun standing motionlessly in the void, Ye Ling quickly called out.
"No need to shout! She's just a tool, she won't respond to you." The mysterious girl, bound tightly, said to Ye Ling as soon as she saw him appear.
"Brother, save me first!"
Ignoring the mysterious girl's words, Ye Ling flew to A Yun's side, waved his hand, and asked, "A Yun, are you alright?"
Seeing that Ye Ling was ignoring her, the mysterious girl became annoyed and angrily said, "I told you! She's just a tool, she won't respond to you!"
Just then, A Yun snapped back to reality and asked Ye Ling with surprise, "Ye Ling? You've come to save me?"
The mysterious girl was stunned on the spot!
