After the black-robed man broke through to the peak of the Primordial realm, he wasn't initially excited. He suspected he had been manipulated. How could a strong entity like the Void Lord be devoured by him? Yet, he couldn't think of any reason why someone as powerful as the Void Lord would bother scheming against him. After all, with such strength, what couldn't the Void Lord achieve in this world?

Moreover, the Void Lord had indeed paid a price—a significant one. It was a wisp of his soul and the authority over the void! Losing these would surely weaken the Void Lord considerably, depleting his primordial energy. Would such a powerful being really pay such a high price just to scheme against him? Was it worth it?

It was akin to a wealthy man suddenly abandoning his fortune to plot against a beggar. It didn't make sense. Of course, that wasn't the main point. The key was that the black-robed man, who had devoured a fragment of the Void Lord's soul, gained some of the Void Lord's memory fragments. Among them was the Void Lord's plan to possess him. The memories indicated that the Void Lord's true form had encountered some issues, prompting the need for possession. The specifics weren't clear, but it seemed related to the rules of the Primordial Prison.

Additionally, in the Void Lord's memory fragments, the chosen targets for possession weren't limited to him. There was also his old acquaintance, Jiang Yifeng! The memories showed that the Void Lord had observed Jiang Yifeng for a long time, intending to possess him. However, he found that Jiang Yifeng wasn't quite compatible with the power of the void and the authority over the void. Ultimately, he chose the black-robed man because he had also cultivated the power of the void, making him a better fit.
