Chapter 1332: 1332
“Because his blood runs in your veins. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve always said that our parents’blood runs in our veins, but your situation is different. You were raised as a vessel, and you were only one step away from being completely replaced. In other words, you’re a part of his body, just like a hand or a leg.”
Isis then turned to look at Zhang Heng. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, she continued, “This is the reason why he can control your body. After all, your hands are controlled by your brain. Of course, I know what you’re trying to say. You still have the blood of that mortal couple in your body, but unfortunately, this part of your blood is too insignificant compared to the blood that has already been replaced. If you want to rely on this little bit of blood from your parents to escape control, it’s no different from a Fool’s dream.”
“Then what should I do?”Zhang Heng finally asked.
However, ISIS shrugged. “I don’t know.”
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. “What else do you want from me?”
“No, I’m not saying this to negotiate with you. You helped me kill my brother, so I don’t have anything else for you to help me with in the short term. It’s just a small suggestion before I leave,”Isis said, “The birth of your soul is a series of coincidences. Nothing like this has ever happened before, and the opponent you’re going to face is very special. Even though we’re both gods, the difference between us is probably greater than that between a cat and a tiger. So, your previous experience isn’t really that useful,”Isis said with some hesitation.
“Why?”Zhang Heng noticed her hesitation.
“Actually, since you know the root of the problem, the solution is simple. If you can complete the blood exchange again, you’ll be able to get rid of the part of his blood that belongs to him.”

“Then why did you say that you had no solution?”Zhang Heng asked.
“Because blood exchange is a very difficult and dangerous thing. It’s not only for the person who has been replaced, but also for the person who provided the blood,”Isis said, “And to be honest with you, there’s no way a mortal can provide such a large amount of blood for you to replace. It’s useless to do it in batches. As long as there’s a drop of his blood in your body, then the new blood will be his.”
“So you’re saying that I need to complete the blood exchange with a God?”Zhang Heng asked.
“Yes, but no God would be willing to do such a thing. If he does, his blood will be contaminated,”ISIS answered honestly, then, she looked at Zhang Heng’s expression. She seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, so she shook her head, “I know you killed the White Knight and Seth… But you can’t do it by force. It has to be consensual.”
Zhang Heng was not too disappointed after hearing Isis’words. He only said lightly, “I understand.”
At that moment, the Vulture that had gone to wake up the Succubus returned to the mural. At the same time, the Egyptian maid’s voice came from outside the door. “Miss Trista is already waiting downstairs.”
“We’re done here. We’ll be down soon. Tell her not to touch my things,”Isis rushed out the door and turned to look at Zhang Heng, “The war between the old and New Gods is a good thing for you. If that’s the case, they won’t have the time to care about you for the time being. However, once they’re done with the matter at hand, or when Laraya’s master wakes up from the bottom of the sea, they’ll realize what the most important thing is. Then, they’ll put aside their differences and join forces to deal with you first. So, forgive me for being blunt, but you don’t have much time left.”

“What About You?”Zhang Heng asked. “Why are you telling me all this? If the master of Laraya wakes up, it won’t be a good thing for you either.”
“No one likes a table-flipping person,”ISIS said, holding the bottle. “But I do like you. I hope you can live a little longer.”
Fifteen minutes later, ISIS stood by the window and watched Zhang Heng’s polo descend the winding mountain path, leaving her sight.
Five minutes later, she pushed the door open and went to the room next door. It was also a reception room, but it was much smaller and less luxurious. Fortunately, there were a lot of things that should have been there. Other than that.., there was also a magic clock that could show a person’s remaining lifespan.
At this moment, a figure was standing in front of the clock, looking at the time-telling bird with interest.
“What are you looking at?”ISIS asked.
“I’m very curious. If I ask your little bird how many years I have left, what will it say?”
“Isn’t it said that only time is eternal?”Isis said calmly.
“That’s true.”The figure in front of the clock curled his lips, “But just like the goddess of wisdom, Athena, is not wisdom itself. Although I’m the god of time, I’m ashamed to say that I can’t stop myself from aging.”
“Everything has an end. Kronos, we are no exception.”
“Yes, but once you have tasted the taste of youth and power, it is difficult to be satisfied with your old body.”Kronos sighed, but then, without needing Isis to persuade him, he perked up again. “You told him about the blood exchange?”
“That’s right, but I said it in such detail, and I know so much about his background. With his prudence and intelligence, he may have begun to doubt the relationship between us, and the role I played in it.”
“It doesn’t matter.”Kronos didn’t seem to mind, “So what if he suspects you? Aren’t you telling the truth? And after he verifies your words, he’ll probably have to find a god who can exchange his blood. This is the only way he can go against Master Laraya.”
“Aren’t you worried that he’ll find a god who’s really willing to exchange his blood with him?”
“That’s impossible,”Kronos said with a smile, “No God can bear the price of being contaminated by his blood, not even Gaime. That’s why he’ll have to come back to me after he’s exhausted all his efforts and realizes this. After all, I’ve always been his guardian angel.”
“Although I designed the blood exchange ritual with you, I still have to warn you again. The risk you face is very high. Even if everything goes according to your plan, the success rate won’t exceed 40% ,”ISIS said with a serious expression.
“40% is enough. I’ve been preparing for almost 20 years. I’m just waiting for this day to come,”Gaime said leisurely.
