After hearing the last sentence, Lin Qiye felt like he was struck by lightning!
He staggered and fell back to the earth from the sky, dust flew up in the sky, the sword of Ama Murasakibara pierced his body from the back, and scarlet blood spread in all directions.
“Chaos…???” Lin Qiye looked at Wuquan who was walking slowly towards him, his eyes full of horror, “Why are you…here?”
"Surprised, right? You came back from two thousand years ago with great difficulty. In this era, the gods of Cthulhu have not yet descended. How could I be here?" Wuquan chuckled and pointed a finger at the sky above his head.
"Have you forgotten...above the long river of time, there is an eye that is always watching you."
Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes slowly moved to the sky shrouded in colorful smoke. Black willow branches were dancing wildly in the air. Countless pairs of legs carried the willow trees, passed over his body, and ran towards Chang'an City.
"【Key to the Door】." Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and growled.
An Qingyu had said before that above all time, the [Key to the Gate] is always at some point in time, paying attention to the past, present, and future of mankind. As an omniscient and all-seeing god, nothing can hide from His eyes.
“Do you think He wouldn’t know that you’ve crossed the long river of time for two thousand years?” Wu Quan spread his hands helplessly. “I have to say that your idea of crossing the long river of time and coming directly to the time point before our second coming to seek life for mankind is very good. Unfortunately, you still underestimated us.”
"So... you were sent here by the [Key to the Door]?" Lin Qiye frowned and immediately shook his head, "No, that's not right... You are both three pillar gods, and the [Key to the Door]'s body cannot pass through, and you should be the same...
You, aren't the real body?"
Wu Quan chuckled twice and did not deny it. He slowly squatted in front of Lin Qiye and opened his mouth. A black index finger was already crawling on his tongue and hooked it at Lin Qiye, as if to say hello to him.
Wuquan swallowed the finger, looked at the gradually pale face in front of him, and continued:
"Your Hongmeng Spirit Embryo is indeed special. Even Kusuen cannot replicate it. The [Key of the Gate] is unwilling to pay an extra price. In the absence of the gods of the Cthulhu system, no one in this era can kill you in a head-on battle, not even if they replicate Huo Qubing...
It would take a lot of effort to kill you, and I'm the only one who can set up this plan."
"You did all this... just to kill me?"
"certainly."
"You are a fake... So, Gong Yangwan is also a fake? The Huo Qubing she identified is also a fake? You arranged so many chess pieces just to make Wuquan gain my trust and return to this smoke with me?"ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ
Wuquan couldn't help laughing, "Do you like this game?"
Lin Qiye looked at Wuquan's familiar face and instantly figured out a lot. It was clear that the gods of the Ke system had not descended, but the red meteor suddenly appeared and flew straight towards them. No matter how they dodged, they could not escape the range of the falling meteor...
Lin Qiye also thought that this meteor might be aimed at him, but later he easily killed his own counterfeit. What's more, the gods of the Ksitigarbha system never came in this era, so he didn't think about it deeply later.
In the smoke, I searched for a long time nearby, but I didn't see any of the 30,000 soldiers. Instead, I ran into Wuquan head-on. The rope in Wuquan's hand happened to be connected to my fake, leading them out of the smoke, and guiding me intentionally or unintentionally, so that I wouldn't delve too deeply into it...
Because if he didn't lead me out of the fog, when I thought of the "measurement" method to explore the fog, Kusuen's existence would inevitably be exposed, and all the plans would be broken.
After Chang'an City fell into chaos, Wuquan found him again and entered the palace with him. At the same time, the fake Gongyang Wan, who was imprisoned in front of a palace, was besieged by fake soldiers on time, attracting their attention...
After gaining some trust by killing the fake soldier, she simply swallowed a willow branch and gained the power to see through disguises.
Of course, as a fake, Gong Yangwan's cognition was constantly being modified by the willow tree itself, so even if she really thought she could distinguish the authenticity, it was just what she thought... From the very beginning, she was just a pawn of Chaos to gain its trust.
After she gained the ability to distinguish the true from the false, several replaced soldiers happened to arrive, proving her ability, gaining more of her trust, and making Wuquan gain her trust as well, which was exactly what Chaos wanted.
When seeing two Huo Qubing appear at the same time, Lin Qiye was a little surprised. Since the fake Huo Qubing was copied before entering Chang'an City, he should have no injuries on his body... But the two Huo Qubing he saw both had injuries on their bodies.
Now it seems that the answer is very obvious. He and Wuquan discovered the traces of [Miansheng Shanyue] together, and he must have guessed that the real Huo Qubing had been injured. In order to better confuse and delay the real Huo Qubing, [Huan Dun] deliberately asked Kusuen to leave scars on the body of the fake Huo Qubing.
Then, Kusuen's real body approached Chang'an City, and threatened the people of Chang'an. While the real and fake Huo Qubing were fighting, he let himself and Wuquan enter the smoke alone, and at the critical moment of the fight between himself and Kusuen, he used the sword of Ama-no-Kurokumo to deal a fatal blow to himself...
The entire layout, one link after another, seems that every step has nothing to do with oneself, but the goal of each step is pointing to oneself.
From the moment the colorful smoke enveloped him, he was already in the deadly trap of [Chaos]!
The most important thing is that, throughout the entire process, Chaos did not control anyone's thoughts and actions. Whether it was the fake Gong Yang Wan, the two Huo Qubings, or the fake Wu Quan himself, they all did their own things according to their own habits and ways of thinking. The only thing he changed was the fake Gong Yang Wan's perception of "true" and "false"...
This is also why, until Wuquan swung that sword, Lin Qiye did not notice the murderous intent directed at him.
Lin Qiye looked at Wu Quan's familiar face and clenched his fists tightly... This was the second time he had experienced the feeling of being set up and led to death, and the one who planned these two deaths was [Chaos]!
The horror of [Chaos] is not the omnipresent gaze of [Key to the Gate], nor the endless pollution and assimilation of [Black Goat]. His changes, layouts, and the power to play with people's hearts are the basis of his power!
