The classic snap of the fingers rang out once again, unleashing a vast and immense power that annihilated almost all life in the universe. But unlike last time, this time some people unexpectedly survived.
" A'tuo, Suo Dun, how are you still alive?"
Liang Bing was originally filled with grief, was suddenly stunned to find that his two most capable and trusted subordinates were still alive and had not turned to ashes like last time.
"..."
A'tuo and Suo Dun, who were in a half-dead state, were utterly speechless. Only this was their queen; if it were anyone else, they would have slapped them across the face long ago for being so tactless.
However, they were both quite puzzled as to how they had survived this time.
Not only Suo Dun A'tuo, but also Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, Rui Mengmeng and others survived, though they were all in very poor condition.
In their desperate attempt to stop and kill Wang Hao, they exhausted all their strength. Although they didn't die, they were left with only half their lives. Most importantly, their foundations were severely damaged, and it would take tens of thousands of years to recover.
"What... what exactly is going on?"
Qiangwei condition was not too bad, used her spatial abilities to gather all the survivors together, and everyone's eyes turned to Qilin, who was standing there in a daze.
At this moment, Qilin stood there blankly, holding the Infinity Gauntlet. The World-Destroying Twin Blades, in their ultimate form, hovered and wailed beside Qilin, as if mourning the passing of someone.
" Keisha!"
Suddenly regaining her senses, Qilin took a step forward and left the collapsing Mirror Dimension.
She wanted to find the two people who knew everything to clear up all her doubts.
That big bitch Keisha definitely knows something!
Liang Bing also realized what was happening, Angel Yan and the other girls also understood the strangeness of this war.
This war was fought in such a bizarre way, the strangest thing being that so many people survived.
They didn't believe that Tyrant Body, now Thanos the Infinity Gauntlet, wouldn't have the power to destroy them again.
Moreover, upon closer reflection, the fighting power of this Thanos Tyrant Body was truly ferocious, far more terrifying than the battle ten years ago.
With just a broken body, he overwhelmed them all; even the combined forces of the three legions were far from enough to contend with him.
The more they thought about it, the more doubts they had. Together, they left the Mirror Dimension and headed to Earth to ask the Holy Kesha and the Holy He Xi about the truth.
"Sit down and have a drink!"
Keisha seemed to have anticipated Qilin and the others' arrival, gesturing for Qilin to sit down. Five teacups, filled with fragrant tea, were already set on the simple wooden table.
"This is for Yan, and this is for Liang Bing!"
He casually pushed the remaining two teacups toward Angel Yan and Liang Bing. Holy Kesha and Holy He Xi picked up their teacups and drank the tea inside in one gulp, their expressions quite sad.
This time, they were absolutely certain that the young man was gone, utterly and completely gone!
"Smack!"
"I didn't come here to have tea with you. Tell me everything you know!"
She crushed the teacup in her hand, her impatient Liang Bing causing her to glare at her stepmother with extreme displeasure.
She and her strong-willed older sister had always been at odds, and that remains the case now.
She wouldn't have wanted to see this big bitch if it weren't for wanting to resolve her inner doubts.
"This was the last pot of tea that little man brewed before he died!"
With a slight shake of his head, filled with regret and helplessness, He Xi looked at Liang Bing with a touch of pity.
Although there was no concrete evidence, through some clues, she was basically certain that the young man had never had any feelings for Liang Bing from beginning to end, and was just a pawn in that brat's entire scheme!
How pathetic!
However, the others weren't much better off; they were all pawns in that Ghost Hand, at most they weren't openly deceived by that young man's feelings.
It's pretty despicable, really. They have no interest in these men, but they still fawn over them, becoming their guardian angels, ending up worse off than even Xiao San.
" Holy He Xi, what do you mean by that?"
Angel Yan understood the key point in Holy He Xi's words. As far as she knew, He Xi was just as interested in that Sacred Body Wang Hao as she was, and had always referred to him as a little man.
But the Sacred Body Wang Hao has already been devoured by the Tyrant Body Thanos and should have perished long ago, so what exactly does this mean?
"Don't you understand? Wang Hao is Thanos, Thanos is Wang Hao. They've always been one. We've all been fooled by that little man!"
With a self-deprecating smile, He Xi never expected that she, with tens of thousands of years of experience, would be completely outmaneuvered by a little man from beginning to end.
Judging from the timeline, when I first met that young man, he was only in his early twenties. His temperament was truly extraordinary.
However, considering that kid deduced so many cultivation traditions from scratch, it makes sense.
Compared to that prodigy, her achievements are really nothing.
"To be precise, from the very beginning, the so-called Human Clan Sacred Body Wang Hao and the Tyrant Body Thanos Illidan were all fake. His true identity is just Zhao Yili, a human from Earth!"
Keisha also spoke, her tone tinged with self-deprecation.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand!"
Everyone was confused. Angel Yan asked in bewilderment, truly unable to understand what this meant.
"Yan, although you are already seventeen thousand years old, you are still far behind when it comes to emotions!"
With a sigh, Keisha put down her teacup and walked towards the hill behind the cabin.
Ten thousand years ago, this hill was just a small, barren mountain with no practical value, so it was designated as a martyrs' cemetery, where all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country in the Juxia City area were buried.
It had long been abandoned after tens of thousands of years, but someone repaired it and it's barely passable now.
Seeing her queen get up, Angel Yan quickly followed, and the others hesitated for a moment before following as well.
They all harbored doubts, and it now seemed that only Holy Kesha and Holy He Xi could answer them.
"This is... Dad!"
The group followed Keisha slowly into the martyrs' cemetery. When Keisha stopped in front of an ancient tombstone, the others were still puzzled, but Qilin's eyes widened as she saw a name that had been buried in her memory for a long time.
The name engraved on that tombstone was her father's!
Turning her head, she saw that the names on the row of tombstones were all familiar; they were her colleagues from the police station where she worked before becoming a super soldier.
Because these people were killed together back then, they were buried here together.
"Girl, how long has it been since you came back to see your father?"
Gazing at the spotless tombstone before her, and the three sticks of incense placed in front of it, Keisha continued speaking before Qilin could respond.
It's been 9,913 years!
Since you left Earth, you have never returned, and you have been completely immersed in that false hatred. However, your father was lucky. Besides you, he had a filial son. Although he was not his biological son, for ten thousand years, his family has come to offer incense on the anniversary of his death every year.
He's much more filial than your own daughter!
"You..."
Qilin, her heart filled with even more confusion and doubt, was about to speak when Keisha waved her hand to interrupt her.
"I know you and your friends have many questions. Don't worry, I'll tell you a story, and all the answers are in this story."
Tens of thousands of years ago, there was a simple-minded boy who lost both his parents and was subsequently adopted by his father's comrade-in-arms. As he grew up, he fell in love with the comrade's daughter...
Keisha pieced together the intelligence and clues about Wang Hao that she had collected over the past tens of thousands of years, and compiled them into this true story.
Although there is no concrete evidence, the data doesn't lie, and the ending that the kid chose in the end proves it all.
Actually, this is a perfect misunderstanding. Everything Wang Hao did was indeed centered around Qilin. After all, she was the female lead chosen by the system, the key to concealing his unregistered identity, and the foundation for completing the system's main and side quests.
To outsiders, all of this seems to be done simply for Qilin. A man selflessly doing all this for a woman, even choosing to die at her hands in the end, can only be explained by love.
Therefore, without knowing the existence of the system mission or Wang Hao's true thoughts, even someone as powerful as the Holy Kesha was fooled.
"That's impossible! That little bastard definitely has feelings for me; he even left me the ultimate control over the Infinity Throne System!"
Liang Bing was the first to disagree, was furious. She would never believe anything that Keisha, that big bitch, said.
"I'm sorry, but based on the data we have, that young man really hasn't had any feelings for you!"
He Xi glanced disdainfully at Liang Bing, then turned his gaze to Qilin, who was stunned once again, and said helplessly, "The reason I left a backdoor in the Infinity Throne System so that you could easily take control of the highest authority was simply to create an opportunity for you to be killed."
The words that little man disguised as the Demon Illidan left you before he left were probably from the bottom of his heart, but the one who truly wanted to shield you from the storm was someone else.
In that little man's heart, whether it's you, me, or Keisha and Yan, none of us are merely pawns to be used.
In matters of the heart, all four of us are losers. However, Keisha, Yan, and I are a little better off than you. At least we were simply throwing ourselves at someone, while you were used as a tool by that little man and as a shield for some girl, being cheated out of both money and your body.
These words left Liang Bing speechless. Her perfect jade -Bai Yi, and her entire delicate body trembled with anger.
Although she really didn't want to believe everything Keisha and He Xi said, it seemed to be the only explanation now, but this reality drove her even more crazy and devastated.
She, Liang Bing, could never have imagined that she would be deceived by a man like this, and so badly at that!
" Qilin, I'm sorry, I wanted to apologize to you ten thousand years ago."
Holy Kesha is right. It was indeed my father who sent someone to lure that man into using the Demon Gene serum, causing him to go berserk and kill your father.
Even that Demon Gene serum was made by my father using a fragment of Demon Gene sealed in the Super Seminary. It has significant side effects, not only amplifying the user's negative emotions infinitely, but also causing the user's genes to collapse and die.
The plan was perfect, but my father, Dukao, underestimated that man's strength, which allowed him to survive the genetic breakdown afterwards.
At this moment, Qiangwei stepped forward with remorse and knelt down in front of Qilin's father's grave, solemnly kowtowing three times according to the rules of Earth's Great Xia.
After all, to be honest, Qilin's father died because of his own father's schemes. That man was at most a knife, a sharp blade that severed Qilin's connection with Earth Great Xia.
Since her father, Dukao, was dead, as Dukao's nominal daughter, she naturally had to come and apologize on his behalf.
I just didn't want Qilin's relationship with Earth, Great Xia, Xiaolun, and others to develop an irreparable rift, so I kept it a secret all along.
They thought they were doing this for Qilin's own good, but now they realize they were wrong, they were all wrong!
"No, this isn't true. He really did try to kill me on the Juxia back then, and he injured Xiaolun and the others so badly!"
Qilin was on the verge of a breakdown; she truly couldn't accept this so-called truth and tried to deny it with everything she knew.
"Yeah! If that Demon Illidan was actually the instructor in disguise, why did he use such force back then? I felt like I was really going to die!"
Liu Chuang couldn't help but voice his doubts. He had suffered the most severe injuries during the Battle of the Juxia, with his gene engine in the Dark Plane being severely damaged, second only to Qilin, whose Super Gene had completely collapsed.
That was the closest he had ever come to death; he had never suffered such a serious injury in all these ten thousand years.
Not only was Liu Chuang puzzled, but Rui Mengmeng, He Weilan, and others were also confused.
They were all targets of the attack and suffered serious injuries to varying degrees. He Weilan was even thrown into the sea, and her body almost completely collapsed. It took her ten years to recover.
They were certain that the guy in the Battle of the Juxia had indeed been ruthless; even if he wanted to test them, there was no need to be so cruel!
Not to mention that Qilin, who was the most seriously injured, was that guy's girlfriend.
