Chang Le's lips curled into a mocking smile: "You don't like others arranging your life and death, yet you've spent most of your life arranging other people's fates. What goes around comes around."
Qin Shaoji didn't reply, seemingly lost in thought as he gazed at the clear sky.
But Chang Le saw that Qin Shaoji was using his legs to lightly step on the top of the tower, and that he was constantly exerting force without relaxing, which meant that Qin Shaoji was not relaxed at all and could not launch a sneak attack.
"Fu Jiu, do you know that the Ninth Realm is not the pinnacle of humanity?" Qin Shaoji suddenly asked.
Chang Le said, "I know."
"But since the natural disaster, the supernatural ability cultivation system has been in place for nearly four hundred years, and not a single person, not even a single creature, has been able to break through the barrier of the ninth realm. Do you know why?"
Chang Le didn't give a perfunctory answer; she had considered this issue before.
"Because of the limitations imposed by the laws of the world."
Qin Shaoji nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, our world is a huge cage, which can protect us, but also traps us. When dangers from outside the cage reach us through the gaps in the bars, we also try to squeeze out through the gaps."
"Do you believe that anyone can actually break through that invisible ceiling?" The old man looked up at the sky, his eyes still filled with ambition, yet it was suppressed in his dim, aged eyes.
"believe."
Chang Le did not hesitate at all.
“I also believe,” Qin Shaoji looked at her, “I believe that [integration] is the most efficient, most likely, and least costly path.”
Chang Le didn't understand why he was so certain about [Fusion]: "[Fusion] is not suitable for this world. It's a dead end. You've taken the wrong path, and your obsession has turned you into a demon."
"No! [Fusion] exists! It can really achieve evolution! I'm not crazy, I'm perfectly clear-headed!" Qin Shaoji suddenly became excited, his body leaning forward slightly.
Chang Le frowned slightly: "Qin Xian has experienced it firsthand, proving it to be a dead end; what can you use to prove your obsession?"
Qin Shaoji's dim yellow eyes widened little by little, and the corners of his downturned mouth slowly lifted, revealing a strange smile.
"Sizzle—"
A black and white arc of light swept out from around the two people, destroying all the monitoring equipment of various sizes surrounding the top of the tower.
Chang Le didn't move. She had internet access and knew that countless listening and surveillance cameras had been set up around her. She also knew that Qin Shaoji's attack had destroyed all the equipment.
Qin Shaoji suddenly stood up and moved closer. Chang Le reached out and touched his shoulder. The old man simply held her shoulder and then said something slowly and deliberately in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Chang Le's eyes widened suddenly.
Startled, Chang Le was caught off guard by Qin Shaoji's sudden palm strike. She had no time to dodge and could only use her supernatural power to resist. However, the palm strike was not an attack, but a pushing motion. Chang Le was pushed off the tower without warning.
