"I have a question," Xu Yuan said.
"Ask," the woman said.
"If I want to go east one day and you want to go west, how will our shared body decide?" Xu Yuan asked.
"It will listen to me, naturally. Your Deep Dive is merely adequate. When it comes to real combat, I'll have to defeat our enemies."
Xu Yuan listened, then asked, "One last question—what is this Final Fate you mentioned?"
"What? You don't know?"
Her voice was full of surprise.
It was the first time she had shown such profound confusion.
Xu Yuan realized something, too.
As an Immortal Species, he seemed to have given himself away.
But—
"When I fought beyond the world, parts of my body were torn off and scattered. I never recovered them all, and I lost some of my memories," he said, hastily covering his tracks.
"I see. You took part in that great battle..." the woman said in sudden understanding.
"Tell me. What exactly have I forgotten?" Xu Yuan pressed.
The woman fell silent for several breaths, then said quietly:
"We should undergo Fusion first. Once we do, you'll know everything."
Xu Yuan barked, "If you won't show me even this much sincerity, how can I trust what you say about Fusion?"
His voice rose sharply, edged with violent anger:
"Then we might as well fight to the death!"
At that moment,
he stood surrounded by stars.
But he knew this was not the real Universe. It was an ability of hers akin to Gaze.
She had to be preparing something.
That was why she had no choice but to keep talking to him.
In that case,
she could give him some real information!
Otherwise, he was going to lose his temper!
Layers upon layers of dark aura erupted from Xu Yuan.
