Zhang Yan made a decision quickly.
He shook his head and said slowly: "No, this is my own path."
At best, it would involve the other four people in the prophetic picture.
Don't involve Meng Qingyin and the others, there's no need for them to take risks.
He had a hunch that this road was extremely dangerous.
Meng Qingyin immediately understood what he meant. She patted Zhang Yan's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "When did you become a person who is cautious and hesitant? You choose to push away because you are worried that your friend will be in danger? But will your friend retreat because of unknown danger?"
Zhang Yan's expression suddenly became very agitated. "I don't even know if I can get out of this unscathed, and you're getting involved for what? I can't just watch you die!"
"I believe you know better than anyone the strength of the man who created me. Do you think we have a chance of winning against him? I can die, but I can't let you get hurt!"
Compared to his excitement, Meng Qingyin was much calmer: "Who said you were getting me into trouble? Even if it wasn't you today, if it was Chen Leying, Qin Jiu, or anyone else, I would make the same choice. Because you are all my friends. Knowing that my friends are in trouble, should I just stand by and watch to save myself?"
"We've come this far, having encountered so many dangers, each one dreadful. Yet, we've made it this far. Fear only breeds cowardice, and only by facing challenges head-on can we secure a future."
What Meng Qingyin wanted to say was that there were no living creatures on the Blue Star here, and the sealed Night Demon could be unsealed at any time. Only by facing the danger head-on could one continuously enhance one's own strength in battle.
She had long seen through it. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and only by becoming strong could one survive.
To put it another way, she chose to protect herself this time, but who can guarantee that she won't encounter more powerful enemies in the future?
By then, she would just be meat at the mercy of others.
It is better to seize every opportunity to become stronger.
Besides, Baihu said that the main gods cannot easily attack players. This is their consensus.
Then why didn't she help Zhang Yan build a future before the main gods reached this consensus?
Sitting still and waiting for death will only make you vulnerable to being bullied.
Zhang Yan stared at her, not knowing how to refute her.
After a long moment, he extended his hand to Meng Qingyin and smiled slowly, "Then I wish us a bright future."
Meng Qingyin shook his hand back, "Okay."
The two reached a consensus and teleported to Zhao Lan with the crystal ball.
Zhang Yan knew the people in the convoy, and they had no hostility towards him. After greeting them warmly, Zhang Yan brought Meng Qingyin to Zhao Lan's vehicle.
Zhao Lan was bandaging a player's wound. After she finished, Zhang Yan explained his purpose: "This crystal ball can predict the future. Do you want to try it?"
Zhao Lan glanced at the crystal ball and said, "Not interested."
Zhang Yan: "Aren't you interested in the future?"
Zhao Lan's voice was a little soft: "Living well in the present is what's important."
Zhang Yan advised, "What if you encounter danger in the future? Only by seeing the dangers of the future can you take precautions in advance."
Zhao Lan gave him a strange look. "Since the future is destined to be dangerous, I must seize the present moment even more. After all, since you saw the future, it means that the event will definitely happen one day in the future, and you will not be able to prevent it from happening no matter what. On the other hand, if you take some precautions, then does that event still count as the future?"
"The future cannot be changed, so we might as well seize the present and do something meaningful," said Zhao Lan.
Zhang Yan was shocked by her words. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Zhao Lan said made sense?
Is it true that the predicted scene cannot be changed?
After a moment, he shook his head, "No, this is not right."
But he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
Zhao Lan's expression remained calm, but she ordered them to leave. "I have something else to do. Please go ahead."
"Wait a moment," Meng Qingyin called out to Zhao Lan who was about to leave.
Zhao Lan: "Anything else?"
Meng Qingyin's eyes were firm. "Who says the future can't be changed? The moment you make an effort to change it, the future has already changed. Maintaining the status quo or striving to become stronger, these two different choices will lead to two different outcomes. Even if neither outcome is ultimately satisfactory, the things you do along the way, the people you meet, and the connection you have with them are what matter most."
Zhao Lan's eyes were touched.
Meng Qingyin added, "And in the process, you can also do more meaningful things and save more people, right?"
Zhao Lan didn't know what words touched her. She looked at Meng Qingyin seriously and asked, "Can we really save more people?"
Meng Qingyin did not answer, but looked at the people in the convoy. Men and women were working together to wash vegetables and cook. They were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Perhaps you know this question better than me."
Zhao Lan lowered his eyes in thought.
After a long while, she made a decision in her heart: "Do you know my future?"
Zhang Yan quickly took out the crystal ball and said, "Take a look for yourself."
He held the crystal ball in front of Zhao Lan.
The scene that Zhang Yan saw appeared on the crystal ball again.
In the center of the picture stands an extremely handsome man with a sculpted figure.
Lear knelt down before him reverently. Zhang Yan, Zhao Lan, and three other people had lifeless eyes, as did a dog.
The picture is dark and looks very depressing.
Meng Qingyin also leaned over to look, but she could not see anything.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lan's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She covered her chest, her face pale and shaky.
Zhang Yan was startled by her reaction and quickly supported her: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Why did Zhao Lan react so strongly?
Soon, the image on the crystal ball disappeared.
Zhao Lan's symptoms were also relieved. The discomfort still existed, but it was still tolerable.
Meng Qingyin patted her back lightly without urging her.
Zhao Lan took a deep breath. "I don't know why, but I felt so depressed when I saw that scene. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't breathe."
Meng Qingyin looked at Zhang Yan, "Was it the same when you saw it?"
Zhang Yan shook his head, also feeling strange. "No, I didn't feel anything when I saw it. I just wondered how there could be another person in the world with muscles as perfect as mine."
Meng Qingyin and Zhao Lan: "..."
