"Third Brother, you're not mistaken, are you? Lord Wei has betrayed us?"
Shen Shiyi looked incredulous. Although Wei Gongcheng was usually quiet and reserved, his loyalty was no less than Xu Hu's, a fact that was almost universally acknowledged.
"If you just tell me that it wasn't Lord Wei, I'd have a better idea of what to think."
"I'm not in the mood to argue with you about this," Shen Laosan said speechlessly. "Do you think I know Wei Gongcheng as well as you do? I have my reasons for saying this."
"Alright." Shen Shiyi didn't dare say more and asked in a low voice, "What does Third Brother want me to do?"
"Go to West Island immediately and find the Lord. This mission is very dangerous; you shouldn't be going, but now..."
"I understand, Third Brother." Shen Shiyi immediately laughed, "It's alright. I'm already a dead man, so even if I die again, it's not a loss. I still have to repay what I owe Chen Qing."
Upon hearing this, Shen San hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Take care on your journey."
"Then I'll set off under the cover of night, using the Underworld Temple as cover."
"Good"
"Third Brother."
"Um?"
How did you come to suspect them?
"That woman arrived here first, West Sea Dragon King only launched her attack afterward. It's as if she knew beforehand. The timing is too clever. I never believe in coincidences. Either she's in cahoots with the West Sea Dragon King, or the West Sea Dragon King came specifically for her!"
"Impressive!" Shen Shiyi looked up, his eyes were dark, and a woman's voice came out of his mouth.
Shen San's pupils contracted, and he was about to make a move when he was suddenly controlled by something and couldn't move. He looked around in horror and found that, at some point, the surroundings were filled with transparent threads, and he was bound tightly by these threads!
"This generation of the Shen Family is much smarter than before, it's a pity."
"What did you do?" Shen San stared intently at the other woman. He was on high alert; the woman shouldn't have had a chance to harm Shiyi. After all, they had only just met, and Shiyi hadn't left his sight. How could she...?
"Can't figure it out?" Shen Shiyi smiled slightly. "It's normal not to. After all, without intelligence, even the smartest person can't guess things. You're already outstanding enough."
child
Shen San looked at the woman, and only then did he suddenly recall that her features resembled those of the former patriarch of the Shen Family.
Who are you?
I don't even know how many generations you've been through, so feel free to call me whatever you like.
"You tampered with my bloodline?" Shen San suddenly understood something.
"I suppose so," Shen Shiyi, hands behind his back, looking around. "That kid Chen Qing is quite interesting. Is he still clinging to that naive idea, putting so much effort into training the human race?"
"Since you can tamper with the bloodline, why don't you control me? Why control Shiyi instead?" Shen San immediately felt something was wrong.
"Because you're hard to control," Shen Shiyi said bluntly. "Even without the power of the Underworld, you've already reached the First Rank level of the Transcendent realm. If we were to hastily incubate the egg in your bloodline, you would easily detect it. This Shiyi- ranked boy is different. After all, he's young, and even with the Power of Cause and Effect from the Divine Path Style, his own realm has only just become Transcendent."
"An egg within the bloodline?" Shen San's pupils contracted. " Ancient Insect?"
"Smart," Shen Shiyi laughed. "You're much smarter than your ancestor. If he were as smart as you, perhaps I wouldn't have had to go through all this."
" The Ancient Insect... wasn't it dead?"
"That's because you don't understand the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley!" the woman laughed. "From the moment I entered the Dragon Palace, I actually regained my memories from back then. After creating the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, I already had the ability to kill the Ancient Insect. These things imitate the Ancient Demon Clan, but their performance is far superior to that of the Ancient Demon Clan, only they are somewhat incomplete."
"To obtain more experimental data, I lured it into the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, all for the purpose of better studying it. The Nine Heavens Mirror Valley has a crucial ability, have you all forgotten it?"
Shen San immediately realized. " Space-Time Rewind?"
Yes, back then, the most terrifying ability of the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley was its ability to Space-Time Rewind. Lord Chen Qing had used this ability to escape deadly pursuits and successfully turn the tide many times. Although the Nine Heavens Nine Heavens Mirror Valley Nine Heavens Mirror Valley lost its effectiveness later, its terrifying ability still made Chen Qing want to replicate it.
It just hasn't been done yet.
"I see. I didn't know such a thing could be done!"
Shen San immediately realized that he had learned about spacetime in Ziyue 'Shen San class. It was a very strange rule that, if not used carefully, could create all sorts of paradoxes and generate countless timelines.
The person in front of me is using a special property of the laws of spacetime.
The Space-Time Rewind was probably used to replicate an Ancient Insect each time. Through numerous experiments, the other party, relying on the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, probably possessed countless fully-formed Ancient Insect!
Sure enough, the next moment, Shiyi knelt down on the ground with a ferocious expression. Two huge blood sacs bulged on his back, and then blood burst out. A pair of jet-black wings, like black butterflies, slowly spread out from his back. Shiyi floated in the sky, his whole body exuding Transcendent and top-notch power!
Shen Laosan's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly, "So the suppression of the Ancient Insect back then was a pretense, and in reality, they were secretly cultivating Ancient Insect?"
"You could call it suppression," Shen Shiyi laughed. "Otherwise, if we hadn't released them by accident, your human race would have been extinct long ago."
"Then I should thank you, Ancestor?" Shen Laosan said with a desolate laugh, "I saw that many of the sealed spirits in that ancient formation always believed that they could not be reborn because they were enduring for the greater good of the human race and preventing calamities for the human race. They admired you so much that their will remained steadfast for tens of thousands of years."
"What would they think if they knew their chieftain was this kind of person?"
"Think whatever you want." Shen Shiyi said coldly, completely unmoved. "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Back then, it wasn't that we didn't consider coexisting with the human race, nor that we didn't consider joining hands with you to fight against demons, but what was the result?"
"Human hearts are fickle. No matter how much we give, once they know our identity, they will treat us as outsiders without hesitation. Their methods of betrayal are so cruel that even demons can't compare. The designers used human big data to create them, making you too much like humans. But because of this, they are the least worthy of sympathy."
Shen Laosan: "."
"If you call me Ancestor, I will consider it your acceptance of my bloodline. Although you grew up in a human environment, as long as you are willing to acknowledge your bloodline, I will accept you."
"Then we really have to thank the ancestor for his benevolence," Shen Laosan said sarcastically.
"No need for such a sarcastic expression. Don't expect Chen Qing to understand what I've done. The hearts of people in this world cannot be changed. The moment Chen Qing's identity was exposed was the moment he was betrayed. We've experienced this many times before, and I won't. I've given far more than Chen Qing has. I owe nothing to the human race in this world!"
