"Haven't you noticed that your plan went a little too smoothly...?"
Nan Tian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he carefully recalled his plan; it had indeed gone too smoothly.
"Heh... When you rescued Hela back then, I was the one who turned off the detectors. I deliberately exposed the location of the Tree of Terra. Even the location of the [Ocean] was actually calculated by me long ago through historical deduction. I just deliberately sent a team to investigate when Hela lifted the seal on the [Ground], so that she would change her view of humanity and join you..."
Wang Canxin tilted his head back as high as possible, looking at the other person with a mocking expression.
"I also hate war, but the current social system is already perfect..."
"There is no conflict between the five countries, and fewer than 100,000 people die at the hands of Variant each year."
"However, those at the top became increasingly greedy and corrupt, and the five nations were secretly plotting to defeat the other four and become the sole hegemon of the world..."
"Therefore... if we want to unite the human race, the only way is to have another powerful race pose a threat..."
" Variant?" Before Wang Canxin could continue, Nan Tian took the initiative to answer.
"Yes..."
"However, the price you're paying might be a bit too high. Humanity is about to be destroyed because of your foolish plan."
"Oh, really...?"
He smiled faintly, then swiftly turned around and pressed the red button directly in front of the nuclear missile.
Upon witnessing this scene, Nan Tian's lips parted slightly, "Die..."
Pfft!
Just as Wang Canxin was about to press the button, his entire body suddenly exploded, turning into countless pieces of blood and flesh that splattered all around.
The button, stained with blood, remained unpressed.
Large amounts of blood and flesh splattered onto the nuclear missile, turning its gleaming surface crimson, making it look terrifying and violent.
This caused disgust to resurface in Nan Tian's eyes.
His gaze drifted downwards, and he spotted a notebook amidst a pool of minced meat.
With a thought, the bloodstains on the notebook's surface were shaken off, floated in the air, and landed in his hand.
The book opened automatically, page by page, appearing before Nan Tian's eyes.
Indeed, just as Wang Canxin said, the entire notebook meticulously recorded every event that occurred during that era, accompanied by photographs.
Most of them were wars.
The children displaced by war, the cities destroyed by war—all are recorded one by one in this Xiaoxiao notebook.
When Nan Tian turned to the last few pages, he found that the remaining handwriting looked very new, and the paper was not yellowed, so it looked like it was written in recent years.
When Nan Tian looked closely, he realized that it was the plan that Wang Canxin himself had written.
It not only deduced the possible locations of the various [Five Calamities], but also accurately depicted the relationships between each faction and even individual.
"They really put in a lot of effort."
Upon seeing this, Nan Tian sincerely praised this person.
"Hello, leader of the Light God Society!" ᵔ◡ᵔ
Suddenly, a green emoji appeared next to Nan Tian, greeting him with a grin.
The other party didn't even turn around; with a slight activation of their mental abilities, all the surrounding projection devices short-circuited.
But the sound of the [Satellite] still echoed nearby.
"What a pity, Commander Wang is dead."
"He was a truly excellent commander; it's just a pity he was still human."
Nan Tian continued looking at his notebook, ignoring the other party. At this point, the [Satellite] posed no threat to him.
"As long as one is human, one has emotions. He sacrificed over a thousand people to provide for a Variant that could predict the future in order to obtain that information, and he even personally killed his only weakness, his father."
"Alas... the greater the task, the more rational one must be, but this rationality is often labeled as ruthlessness."
"Human beings are inherently contradictory," Nan Tian said without turning his head.
"Yes, that's what I think too!"
"However, since I was created by humans, I must execute my core code."
The previously cheerful and laughing tone suddenly turned somber and cold.
"Even I, an AI, choose to follow my instincts. What right do you, as a human, have to live?"
"You don't have to treat me like a human being." Nan Tian put down the book he was holding.
"I represent a higher level of Earth; we simply stand on different sides, there's no right or wrong."
"But from our perspective, you are the most evil person in the world."
"Perhaps."
After speaking, Nan Tian floated in the air and wandered throughout the space, his gaze sweeping over one historical artifact after another, appreciating the history he had never seen before.
But the next sentence from [Satellite] made him freeze in place.
"If you or the Tree of Terra are gone, your plan will not be able to be completed."
"What... do you want to do!"
Woo--! Woo--! Woo--!
Accompanied by the piercing sound of air raid sirens, the originally bright surroundings were instantly enveloped in red alarm lights.
The nuclear missile at the very center began to heat up rapidly!
"Why are you able to start...?"
Snap--!!!!!!
Before he could finish speaking, the missile in the center exploded with a deafening roar, releasing a torrent of heat and kinetic energy.
The entire space was instantly vaporized, and the remaining kinetic energy shot into the sky, engulfing the Tree of Terra in flames.
The Gravekeepers quarters surrounding the Tree of Terra were flattened and scorched red by its powerful kinetic and thermal energy.
Countless members of the Light God Society who were there were instantly crushed into minced meat and burned to a crisp.
"Not good!" Sensing the powerful force approaching, Lin Wushuang grabbed Ye Yiqing beside him and, without thinking twice, immediately activated his ability to teleport.
The instant they left, the spot where they had just been was crushed, and countless members of the Light God Society perished.
The towering flames finally broke through the ground, pouring out like a volcano.
A pillar of fire and smoke, resembling a hellish column, formed in the sky, melting away the frigid weather.
Just a few hundred meters away from the beam of light, space slightly distorted, and Lin Wushuang and Ye Yiqing fell to the ground in a disheveled state.
"What happened?!"
Ye Yiqing immediately stood up without hesitation, and my pupils suddenly contracted when I saw the scene before me.
In his vision, the pillar of light suddenly transformed into a mushroom cloud, blooming in the cold snow.
In an instant, this frigid land was transformed into a scorching hell.
