When everything comes together.
Li Chen finally found out, but he never expected that it was a group of people with memories of the future who were deliberately changing his future.
In other words, are you now on the only path to becoming a "god" through their transformation?
In his other timelines, he might have fallen in love with Cang Yue, died, or become Evil Cult; all the impossibilities became possible at this moment.
That's how I became who I am today...
Cang Yue gazed at the figure standing in the dawn light ahead, her crimson eyes shining even brighter.
The smell of blood and the presence of ashes in the air.
As dawn slowly shone upon Li Chen, he seemed to feel a strange pang of sorrow and helplessness.
But we must continue down this path.
Just as we said before, even if it means going against the current, we will climb to the top.
Li Chen looked at the dazzling sun, covered his eyes with one hand, and suddenly laughed. Perhaps he had been suppressing it for a long time, because his laughter was very loud. However, to others, it did not sound like a hearty laugh, but rather a lonely and desolate laugh.
Even the usually optimistic Zero could sense that something was wrong with our My Lord's mood... so he could only stand silently in the back and watch.
The laughter gradually subsided only after a long time.
Li Chen strode forward slowly, his aura now extremely deep.
A few people followed... not daring to utter a single word.
Cang Yue followed behind Li Chen with a smile.
At this moment... all they had behind them were ruins and more ruins.
Ashes fell from the sky...
A few days later...
The news has already reached major cities.
Huizhou City has been completely reduced to ashes, Eerie Monsters have broken through the outer defenses of the Human Race's inland territory.
All surrounding cities have been reinforced with stronger defenses.
Even cities near the Sinful Pass and Canghai Pass have dispatched numerous Calamity Realm experts to guard them.
The Imperial Capital City is in a state of panic.
Many people are discussing the matter of Li Chen, the Child of Destiny, and some even call him Eerie Lord born of the times. Some parents use this to scare their children, saying that if they don't behave, the Eerie Lord will capture them and eat them.
People have completely labeled Li Chen as a monster, and many bounty guilds have even put up bounties, offering 100 million Merit for anyone who can kill the Eerie Lord.
This is an enormous fortune, obtainable simply by killing Li Chen. Countless bounty hunters are drooling over it, yet none dare to attempt to kill him.
After all, the incident in Huizhou City has now come to light.
There's no one there who would dare to attack the Eerie Lord Li Chen; they'd have the desire but not the guts.
As for the Special Affairs Bureau, they held countless emergency meetings.
They were all discussing the matter of the Eerie Lord Li Chen.
The news simply couldn't be suppressed. After all, Huizhou City was completely wiped out; even if they wanted to, they couldn't. The people demand an explanation.
After all, the Special Affairs Bureau claimed it was to protect them.
The city was destroyed, so many people died, and the Eerie Lord Li Chen was still not captured. This was undoubtedly a challenge to the cohesion of the people.
In the serious conference room, Light Fiend stood on the stage with a serious face, remaining silent for a long time without saying a word, instead looking at the data report in his hands.
The clock ticked away.
As the clock struck exactly 12 o'clock, Light Fiend put down the documents in his hand, looked at everyone in the conference room, and said in a serious tone, "The adjudication meeting officially begins."
"I hope you will all remember what I have said today; I will not repeat it a second time."
Light Fiend paused for a moment, then continued, "You should all be aware of what happened in Huizhou City, and today's meeting is to continue our discussion on the Eerie Lord Li Chen."
"A few days ago, Huizhou City was completely wiped out by the Eerie Tide he led. Only two of the agents sent by the Special Affairs Bureau survived. I won't say who they were."
"But the events in Huizhou City have already caused a huge public outcry. If this continues, the loss of public support will become increasingly serious. Once panic sets in, and the Human Race is powerless to resist the Eerie Tide, then the Imperial Capital may become the next Huizhou City."
At that moment, a female voice came from below. It was the same spot, the same people, the same people of Order of Justice. They looked extremely angry and said, "Light Fiend, can you shut up with your nonsense?"
"All the men we, the Order of Justice, sent there this time have perished. Now you're talking to me about the people's hearts, why aren't you discussing how to deal with the Eerie Lord Li Chen?"
"Are you trying to give me nonsense here?"
Light Fiend glanced at him coldly, emanating an extremely strong aura, and said, "I don't recommend having a few more corpses here."
"Your Justice Alliance disobeyed the Special Affairs Bureau's orders and acted recklessly, resulting in deaths. What does that have to do with us?"
"Besides, only two of the people we sent out escaped. Do you think it's any use saying this now?"
"Your so -Order of Justice only focuses on supporting the weak and punishing evil, without considering the people. But my Special Affairs Bureau needs to manage the will of the people; that's what it means to do the right thing."
Silence... The only sound in the conference room could be Light Fiend hurling insults at the people of Order of Justice; no one else dared to breathe.
Seeing that he had lost his composure, Light Fiend regained his composure and continued the meeting.
And several familiar faces were there in the background.
Su Zhe, with a full beard, and Su Xian, dressed in First Seat white robe, sat silently beside Ji Shao.
At this moment, Su Zhe's eyes were somewhat complicated as he said, "So, that means Chen-ge has become our complete enemy, and the hundreds of thousands of people who died in Huizhou City are all related to him..."
Su Xian did not deny it; the facts were already laid bare before them. When he first heard the news, he was actually somewhat skeptical, after all, the Eerie Tide things in the Tide were unpredictable.
However, information about the two people who escaped from Huizhou City was obtained.
This clearly demonstrates to humanity Li Chen's strangeness and terrifying nature.
Ji Shao frowned and asked, "What exactly is Li Chen pursuing?"
"As a human being, why would he kill humans instead of using that power to fight Evil Cults and Eerie Monsters?"
Su Zhe didn't understand either; he didn't comprehend why Chen-ge would turn against the Human Race.
Su Xian sighed and said, "Who can understand his heart?"
"In my opinion, the only difference between humans Eerie Monsters is intelligence. But when Li Chen gains the ability to control Eerie Monsters, do you think humans won't destroy him?"
"Because of fear, dread, humanity itself became afraid first."
"They fear that Li Chen will gain greater power and collaborate with Eerie Monsters and Evil Cults to slaughter humans like cattle, so they naturally want to kill Li Chen to eliminate the source of their fear."
Su Zhe said with some indignation, "But... Chen-ge never intended to harm humans!"
"Isn't doing this just like shooting themselves in the foot?"
Su Xian shook her head and said, "No, people don't understand these things. They only see the surface. When malice increases, what kind of enormous malice can crush anyone's heart? For example, in today's internet age, as long as there is a keyboard, even white can be stained black."
