After a long while, Ye Chen spoke earnestly to Jiang Wang.

"Sometimes, too many problems are not a good thing."

"Living in obscurity might not be so bad."

Listening to Ye Chen's words.

Jiang Wang scoffed.

"Pigs and sheep also live carefree lives. They only feel pain on the day they are slaughtered. In their past lives, 90% of the time they have no worries about food and drink and live happily."

"But we are human beings."

"We are not pigs or sheep, at least I am not."

Jiang Wang calmly looked up and stared directly at Ye Chen.

"I don't have lofty ideals. I just want myself, the people around me, my friends, and the people I love to have the right to live."

"Instead of being like leeks, at the mercy of others."

Ye Chen looked into Jiang Wang's deep eyes.

Calm, resilient, unyielding...

At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to see himself again, the one who once wanted to pave a path for everyone.

Does the truth really matter?

Ye Chen was asking Jiang Wang, and also asking himself.

"Whether the truth matters or not."

"Only those who know are qualified to answer."

At this moment, Jiang Wang was staring directly at Ye Chen's illusory figure.

At this moment, the two were no longer separated by strength; their only interaction was a dialogue of ideas.

Ye Chen looked at Jiang Wang.

After a long while, he took a deep breath.

"Ha, good lad, you're really fearless like a newborn calf."

"Since you want to know the truth, then you'll have to find it yourself."

"But I can tell you one thing you're right about: the Kaiyuan World is indeed an isolated island, or even an island that is so small it can't be smaller."

"Beyond the Kaiyuan World, there are endless worlds and endless universes, with different races and different cultivation systems."

"What Kaiyuan considers 'breaking through the void' is at least a preliminary ticket to step into such a world."

"The reason I'm telling you this is that the truth you're seeking is one that even I, now, cannot answer or know."

"So, you still want to continue pursuing the truth?"

Listen to Ye Chen's words.

Jiang Wang hesitated.

Then she looked at Aunt Li Xue, who was squatting on the ground beside her, cramming on knowledge about all nations.

I saw Anna eating snacks and watching a show in the Lord's Space.

I glanced at the husky demanding the sofa, and Alice, who was constantly cultivating.

Jiang Wang slowly raised his head.

"Actually... I was just joking with you. I don't care about the truth. I just want to protect the people around me. The truth can only help me protect the people around me better."

Hearing the words that were completely contrary to his grand ambitions, Ye Chen was stunned...

"Hahaha, hahahahahaha!!"

"Well, kid, you're really something. In all these years, you're the only one who's dared to play me like this!"

"Hahahaha!"

Ye Chen's image was laughing heartily, it was unclear whether he was amused by Jiang Wang's sincerity or genuinely felt fooled by Jiang Wang's serious words, so he was making fun of himself.

But you could sense that Ye Chen seemed to be in a good mood.

"Hahaha, actually, I don't care whether it's pursuing the truth or protecting the people around me, and you don't need to explain anything to me."

"With your current strength, you can't do anything, and there's no end to your path."

"There are even stronger beings beyond the Void Breaking realm, and besides, you're such a beautiful girlfriend~"

"Even among the ninety million worlds, it belongs to a class of its own."

"Believe me, you're in for a lot of trouble."

"Beauty without sufficient strength to support it is a great sin."

"Moreover, the forces behind you won't let you lie down easily."

"Anyway, keep up the good work, young man."

"Oh, right."

"There are several devices and some remnants of the World Kingdoms in this base. You are free to use them. It's just a pity that this base doesn't have much energy left. At the core of the base, there is a prismatic crystal that contains information about other dimensions in this secret realm, as well as other information that you want to know."

"If you're lucky, you should see me in other alternate dimensions."

“But there, my energy should be running low.”

"So hurry up, I look forward to meeting you in the ninety millionth world."

After he finished speaking, Ye Chen's image gradually disappeared from the hall.

Just as Ye Chen's influence disappeared, a prismatic crystal slowly emerged deep within the research base.

This is the core of the entire base.

Aunt Li Xue and Jiang Wang also fell silent as they watched the hall return to its quiet state.

After all, according to the vernacular novels of the Kaiyuan world, the two of them should have gone through many trials and tribulations to obtain Ye Chen's inheritance.

But the real world is always so absurd.

They ended up here by accident.

I unexpectedly learned the truth about Kaiyuan.

The Kaiyuan Empire, with its vast territory, was merely a legacy left behind by the myriad kingdoms.

Countless people from the Kaiyuan era.

Just like a real person, they are born, learn, work, get married, have children, and eventually grow old.

They will never know that they were actually manufactured.

Those who survived among the myriad nations were like supreme rulers, looking down upon everything.

At this moment, Jiang Wang gradually understood why Zhou Gan never mentioned such a secret.

Surveillance by some force may be one aspect.

On the other hand, this truth is too cruel for everyone.

Once the Star Alliance people know the truth, will they be able to change the status quo?

If the people of Kaiyuan knew the truth, would they immediately commit suicide and refuse to live?

For ordinary people...

The truth is not important.

As long as I can survive in a daze, that's enough.

Those who are able to uncover some of the truth will gradually compromise in the face of overwhelming power.

the truth?

Oh.

In some people's eyes, they are probably just ordinary people who can live a muddled life.

For example, the yin and yang of the spiritual realm.

For example, the 'Abyss' that once helped him.

And the vast world I saw during my previous advanced talent journey...

the truth.

He doesn't even understand what's happening to him, let alone these vague and ethereal things.

But Jiang Wang wasn't in too much pain.

Because his only goal was to protect the people around him.

Besides.

Though the road is long, as long as you keep walking, you will eventually reach the end if you don't die.

Just as Jiang Wang, having regained his composure, was about to go find the core that Ye Chen had mentioned.

Then I saw Aunt Li Xue squatting on the ground, frantically cramming on knowledge about the world.

After all, although she understood the conversation between Jiang Wang and Ye Chen, she didn't know why.

The strong-willed Aunt Li Xue would certainly not allow such a thing to happen.

Seeing Aunt Li Xue's earnestness, Jiang Wang could only look at the various documents she had brought out to pass the time, and threw the useful ones into the Lord's Space.

Anna, who was watching a show, was suddenly hit on the head by a book thrown by Jiang Wang.

"Ouch! Master!!! What are you doing?!"

"Stop playing around and get to work. See if you can replicate the gene sequence above. If you succeed, you'll get three dishes."
