I have an unlimited prop system

Chapter 1516

The black-robed jailer stared at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was also watching him. The system asked whether to execute the order for the instant kill card, but he did not reply.

Because he didn't actually intend to kill the Black-Robed Warden!

This is an absolutely risky move!

Facing a figure like the Black-Robed Warden, the slightest disrespect could lead to annihilation. Yet Qin Feng bluntly stated his intention to kill him…

But he had to take this step!

He roughly knew why the black-robed warden had suddenly come looking for him—because he had used the system's instant-kill card.

The bizarre event of the instant kill piqued the curiosity and even doubt of the black-robed warden, which is why he came looking for him!

During the conversation just now, the black-robed jailer had been testing him.

Since he wanted to test him, Qin Feng thought it over and decided to give him a big surprise!

Although King Wu and others were strong, they were constrained by the lack of their origin and the upper limit of their strength. Faced with the rules of destruction and countless powerful enemies in the star river, they were ultimately powerless.

Looking at the current cosmic realm he has come into contact with, only this mysterious and unpredictable black-robed warden, who can even guard against black holes, is the only big shot who has the potential and ability to give Earth a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation!

But why would such a powerful figure help him?

Based solely on that insignificant "transactional" relationship from before?

Far from enough!

He must demonstrate sufficient "value" to make the other party feel that investing in him is far more profitable than destroying him or standing idly by.

This value can be potential, a secret, or... an uncontrollable threat that makes the other party wary!

Therefore, he chose to reveal part of his hand!

It's not the truth of the system, but the deterrent power brought about by the system's extraordinary ability to "annihilate" him!

He wanted the black-robed warden to understand that Qin Feng was not a pawn to be manipulated at will, but a "variable" with a shocking secret who could even overturn the game!

The world of consciousness fell into a deathly silence.

The black-robed warden showed no energy fluctuations, but Qin Feng felt as if his soul had been plunged into an icy ocean of absolute zero, his thoughts almost frozen.

He could clearly feel a "gaze" beyond his comprehension penetrating his consciousness, attempting to analyze everything about him.

Qin Feng suppressed the trembling in his soul, maintaining a calm demeanor, even managing a barely perceptible smile as he met the blurry facial features of the black-robed warden.

He was gambling, gambling that the other party couldn't completely see through the nature of the system!

The bet is that the other party will be wary of this incomprehensible power!

The bet is that the other party, being an existence that has lived for countless eons, will be more likely to weigh the pros and cons rather than act impulsively.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also seemed to have only been a moment.

Finally, that soul-chilling gaze slowly receded like the tide.

The black-robed warden's indifferent voice rang out again, revealing neither joy nor anger, but there seemed to be an extremely subtle and imperceptible fluctuation within it:

"You...you have indeed surprised me more than I imagined. This power is truly miraculous..."

He sensed it after Qin Feng said he was going to kill him!

It seems like I've been marked by something!

That feeling was mysterious and elusive; it wasn't an energy lock, but rather more like a... brief observation at the level of cause and effect.

More importantly, his life essence sensed a crisis from this brief moment of attention—a life-or-death crisis that hadn't occurred in countless eons!

The black-robed jailer showed no anger, no questioning, only a calm statement.

But this statement made Qin Feng feel a huge weight lifted from his shoulders! He had made the right bet!

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and the forced composure on his face instantly turned into a helpless smile of relief.

"Please forgive me, sir, I had no choice but to do this." He spread his hands, his tone carrying just the right amount of grievance and sincerity.

"The starry sky is treacherous, and there are many powerful enemies. If you didn't have some trump card to save your life and... a little bit of personality, you would probably have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones behind."

"I was just trying to prove to you that investing in me might not be a losing proposition. At least, I have the ability to make some ill-intentioned people pay a price they never expected."

"My lord, there's no need to keep testing me. I do have many secrets, and they'll definitely interest you!"

Qin Feng grinned foolishly and, in just a few words, turned his previous threat into an explanation that he was simply demonstrating his value.

The black-robed jailer neither confirmed nor denied it, but the relaxed atmosphere indicated that he accepted the explanation.

At his level, he was already used to all sorts of calculations and games. Qin Feng's barbed honesty was more interesting to him than pure flattery or fear.

"Is this power also from the Origin Ancestor?" the black-robed jailer asked.

Qin Feng nodded repeatedly: "If someone else asked, I would naturally want to pretend it's all mine. But since you asked me personally, I will definitely tell the truth! These were all given to me by the Ancestor!"

"Just think about it, how incredibly talented and unparalleled was the Ancestor, a figure who shook the ages?"

"He disappeared and vanished for countless epochs. Who knows what earth-shattering Dao he comprehended during those long years, or what incredible realm he reached?"

"The contingency plans he left behind back then, after so many eras of accumulation and evolution, have undergone some changes that others cannot understand, or have acquired certain characteristics that are beyond common sense. Isn't that... quite reasonable?"

Qin Feng spoke without batting an eye.

Don't ask, the answer is that the Primal Ancestor was awesome, and the times have changed, so the Primal Ancestor's abilities have evolved.

"You brat..." The black-robed jailer's voice was helpless, clearly not believing Qin Feng's nonsense.

After a moment, he added, "However... you really surprised me this time, and you've made me even more interested."

"So, you've gone so far as to expose your true colors and show your claws in front of me, what are you planning to do with me now?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately put on a fawning smile: "You flatter me, sir. How could I dare to make a move on you? It's just that I admire your great power and knowledge, and I have a few questions I'd like to ask you!"

The black-robed jailer did not reply.

Qin Feng quickly continued, "Does Your Excellency know a way to subdue the Gold-Eating Clan?"

"I've heard that this swarm tactic involves an endless number of insects that devour everything!"

"They pose a significant threat to the geophysical level, and their queens are extremely well hidden, making them difficult to eliminate. I'd like to know, besides direct confrontation, are there any efficient methods of control or a sure-fire strategy?"

The black-robed jailer paused for a moment before saying, "The Gold-Eating Clan... those little insects are indeed annoying."

"Its mother insect is cunning and fearful of death, hiding extremely deep within, and possesses an almost instinctive spatial early warning talent, making a sneak attack virtually impossible."
