"Wait, what are you saying?"
Leng An suddenly felt that the woman in front of him, whom he had known for so long, was completely unfamiliar.
“It’s very simple. In your previous life, I died protecting you, and I know everything you went through.”
Ouyang Ningxue cut straight to the point, unwilling to offer further explanation.
"Now I'll talk, and you listen."
"Reborn beings are those who are meant to save the planet. They will return to the main timeline with memories from other timelines. You and I are the same, but we are different."
"I have experienced many timelines, most of which involve you living longer than me, but without exception, the human race has ceased to exist."
"I carry hundreds of memories with me, and this timeline, or storyline, is the one that humanity has come closest to succeeding."
"Gods and time travelers—only by making good use of these two variables can we possibly secure a future for Earth."
"It's just that living beings have limited memories, and I don't know exactly what defeated humanity. Those things seem to have been completely erased, with every timeline completely blank at the point of humanity's extinction."
“I remember you died once. Although humanity had the upper hand in the later stages of the apocalypse, it was still wiped out. But the reason why was never known.”
"However, one thing is certain: we cannot confront that being for the time being. What we need to do is accumulate strength."
Ouyang Ningxue spoke very quickly, and Leng An was a little slow to react.
"So after all that you've said, what exactly do we need to do? And why are you telling me all this now?"
Leng An checked her surroundings and, after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Li Xuanzu is not a native being of Blue Star; he is an outsider. He only exists in the main timeline, which means he is the biggest variable. In a sense, he accelerated the appearance of the gods.”
"As for the one who told me all this, it is He who gave you a second chance at life. You don't need to know anything else now, it won't do you any good. Seize the opportunity, we are the last hope of mankind."
"The reason I'm telling you all this is because I wasn't planning to tell you so soon. We're all too weak right now, but Li Xuanzu has become suspicious. If it weren't for the support we have behind us, I would have definitely died yesterday."
"At that time, Earth might really be beyond saving."
Ouyang Ningxue's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, as if saying these words had exhausted all her strength.
"There's another point. Besides the two of us, there might be other reborn individuals on Blue Star. Most of them are quite promising, but we are the only ones who are quite special."
"Your ability to manipulate the spirit core and my ability to know other timelines are things that other reborn individuals do not possess."
"That one won't put all their eggs in one basket, so while you are the 'protagonist' He has chosen, you are not the only one."
"In this world, there has never been a single protagonist!"
After saying this, Ouyang Ningxue fainted.
The "being" she was referring to was naturally the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, but Leng An had never been aware of His existence.
It is very difficult for living beings to communicate with the Way of Heaven; even if they could, they would have to endure immense pressure.
The Way of Heaven is aware of everything within its jurisdiction, and engaging in dialogue with it inevitably comes at a price.
What Leng An heard was already the limit of what Ouyang Ningxue could bear.
She couldn't say anything more.
There's a word that can describe this phenomenon on Earth.
"Revealing secrets".
Leng An quickly helped the fallen Ouyang Ningxue up, his heart filled with shock.
Because he could no longer remember why he had met Ouyang Ningxue in the apocalypse.
How did I meet her, a martial arts prodigy with the backing of a powerful family?
Everything that seemed illogical was explained.
It wasn't him who found Ouyang Ningxue during the apocalypse; rather, she set a trap for him to save her.
And it makes sense that Ouyang Ningxue would risk her life for Leng An.
That's not the main timeline, so her death doesn't really matter. In fact, it could be said that all of this was to make it more reasonable for Leng An to meet her.
They can also enjoy spirit core resources by using Leng An's name as a "reborn person" on the surface.
However, the variable of Li Xuanzu appeared much earlier than she had imagined.
She began to stand out almost a few days before the apocalypse began, and even subtly overshadowed Leng An, the "protagonist".
In fact, all of this was something that the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star was happy to see happen. Originally, Leng An's existence was just a smokescreen to confuse the Heavenly Dao on the other side.
The appearance of Li Xuanzu now undoubtedly gives the Blue Star Heavenly Dao another trump card.
So what if we know Li Xuanzu is a time traveler?
Even the Heavenly Dao had to be on guard, because in a sense, Li Xuanzu was the strongest fighting force on Blue Star, without exception.
In short, all the players had their own agendas and plans.
Everyone wanted to acquire Li Xuanzu, the third-party chess piece, to their advantage in order to win the game.
Li Xuanzu himself was well aware that he was being used, but there was nothing he could do about it. On the contrary, it was because he had value to be used that he was able to survive until now.
If his purpose in coming here was simply to cause destruction, then the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star would have killed him the moment he first had that idea.
It is unknown whether the other side, Tiandao, has any intention of subduing Li Xuanzu, but even if it does, Li Xuanzu would not agree.
He was not a being under the command of any particular Heavenly Dao, but on the territory of the Blue Star Heavenly Dao, it was self-evident who he should listen to.
In short, Leng An quickly carried Ouyang Ningxue out of the study and conducted a preliminary examination.
Only after realizing that he had simply fainted from exhaustion did Leng An finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Xie Ke'er had just finished treating her wounds.
At this moment, Leng An and Ouyang Ningxue's actions were not considered elegant.
Ouyang Ningxue felt weak all over because she had said many things she shouldn't have said at that time.
To make it easier to pick up Ouyang Ningxue, Leng An wrapped her arms around his neck, then around her knees and back in a standard princess carry.
Xie Ke'er's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could tear Ouyang Ningxue to pieces on the spot.
"Leng An, this woman has already dumped us like trash. Are you really going to keep trying to win her over?"
"Shut up! She has never had any ill intentions towards us. On the contrary, you should stop picking fights all the time. We are all adults. Why are you arguing over such trivial matters?"
Leng An was already overwhelmed by the amount of information he was receiving, and after Ouyang Ningxue collapsed, he was even more at a loss. Xie Ke'er's actions at this time were simply adding to his troubles.
"You...you're only doing this because of her..."
Xie Ke'er couldn't believe that Leng An, who had never spoken harshly to her before, had just shown a flash of disgust in his eyes.
