Chapter 328 The Last Meeting 3
His face was deathly pale, his soul seemed to have left his body, and he coldly and almost harshly examined and analyzed the extremely familiar yet extremely strange self below him in the void, constantly questioning himself.
What was he thinking back then?
What were his thoughts when he abandoned all his responsibilities as a brother, husband, father, and clan leader, closed his eyes and ears and comfortably secluded himself, even boasting that he had perfectly atoned for his sins?
Completely oblivious to A-Su's desperate struggle, the pain and grievances of young A-Zhan and A-Huan who cannot see their father, the tender Qi-Ren who grits his teeth to shoulder the entire burden of the Lan Clan, painstakingly guarding the status and power of the direct line, and the bitterness and exhaustion of raising his two nephews with all his heart and soul before even getting married!
Similarly, they turned a deaf ear to the power struggles and intrigues within the family, causing the Lan Clan, which should have been developing healthily, to gradually become stagnant and decline due to the torturous internal strife and Qi Ren's self-preservationist and closed-minded approach!
Even more unforgivable was that, at a time when the Wen clan of Qishan was vying for supremacy and the Xuanmen sect was entering a period of great turmoil and unpredictable conflict, he chose to die on his own!
Ha, he did choose a good time—to be seriously injured and die while protecting Cloud Recesses, which barely saves the sect leader's dignity?!
Nonsense! If he hadn't lost all will to live back then, with the profound foundation of the Gusu Lan Clan over hundreds of years and his own powerful spiritual energy, he could have clung to life for quite a while, no matter how difficult it was!
How could Ah Huan and Ah Zhan have been denied even the chance to see their father one last time?
How could the Lan Clan of Gusu have fallen to such a wretched state in the later stages of history?
Ha, so selfish, so cowardly and willful!
While Qingheng was still questioning himself, everyone else present was focused on 001 and the slowly unfolding picture in front of it. No one had time to pay attention to his slightly ferocious, mocking, and incredulous expression!
"really!"
Regarding the four remaining items at the very top of the scroll, each of them had their own guesses.
Regarding the first remnant of the formation, Wei Ying, who was most familiar with it, murmured, "When I was modifying the formation before, I had a vague feeling about it! The previous victory was achieved so smoothly because it was the result of our two lifetimes of painstaking planning and fearless sacrifice!"
Shocked by the tragedy and devastation of their previous two deaths, Lan Zhan, Qi Ye, and Qing Yan instinctively and tenderly surrounded Wei Ying and Wei Chaoyan, as if only by doing so could they be certain that the people beside them were living, breathing, capable siblings who could cry and laugh, and not the awe-inspiring, tragically martyred heroes depicted in the painting!
Surrounded by others, Wei Chaoyan had no time to notice their inappropriate behavior. Her gaze was fixed on the figure in the middle, stubbornly and resolutely watching over the unknown dawn amidst extreme despair.
He said firmly and without room for argument, "That was 'me' in my past life!"
Having said that, his gaze slid to the third object, and he pointed out with equal conviction: "This is the Resentment-Repelling Grass!"
"No wonder this herb, with its unique and highly targeted effects, was never mentioned in the original work. I originally thought it was something left blank by the author of the original novel, and that the rules automatically arose as the world evolved. But I never knew it was actually a seed of salvation left behind by 'us' in our previous life! No wonder only Father and I were able to successfully find and pick this herb that dispels resentment!"
"Sister..." x4
Wei Chaoyan's words were like a series of drumbeats, relentlessly pounding on the ears of Wei Ying and the other three, creating deafening booms that forcefully and mercilessly tore away the thin veil of self-deception and self-comfort. As a result, the four of them cried out in unison.
Wei Chaoyan had no time to comfort them. Her usually calm and quick-witted brothers, who were now flustered by their concern, stared intently at 001 and calmly bombarded her with a barrage of questions.
Why did Aying and her companions fail to save the world in their previous two lives?
"Is my existence the key to the second time travel in the world of demonic cultivation?"
What is the true nature of the "repelling resentment herb"? What is the deeper meaning behind its continued existence?
"Is the world rewinding to the beginning of the story, or is it a cycle that occurs after the world is reborn and continues along the same timeline? So, are A-Ying and the others the same person who just lost their memories of their previous two lives, or are they new souls with the same destiny line?"
"And what about my existence? It's impossible that my country, China, went back in time along with the world of demonic cultivation, right?"
"001, your appearance in my crossover livestreaming room is not a coincidence, but a premeditated inevitability?"
"In this life, A-Ying and the others successfully changed the original Xuanmen structure. Did they succeed in defying fate?"
Will the changes in the world of demonic cultivation affect the stable development of the Chinese world?
……
"Bang bang bang," Wei Chaoyan's little mouth kept opening and closing, and she threw out a bunch of questions in one breath. These questions happened to be the same ones that Wei Ying and the others were eager to know. So they all tacitly shut up and stared intently at 001, waiting for a reply. At this moment, even Lan Wenjing could no longer care about being sentimental. He also stared solemnly at 001 and listened attentively!
In response, 001 simply raised its paw to half-cover its mouth in a rather humane manner, lazily yawned, and then gave a nonsensical explanation of some common knowledge about the myriad worlds to the people present!
