Quan Ji suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Purification ability... an earth sign like Capricorn?"
The two mermaids, one white and one black, nodded, and the little crab also pinched them with its large pincers.
"It's right down there!"
Quan Ji couldn't help but frown. At that time, she sensed only one power of the Destiny Constellation in this endless sea. The fact that it flashed to this area with Ming Yan was entirely intentional on Ming Yan's part.
She could clearly sense that the abyssal power was most concentrated here, which meant that the Abyss must have set a trap here long ago to capture them all.
But if he had set a trap here, there would have been no way he wouldn't have discovered Capricorn's presence. So how could he have allowed Capricorn to stay here and become a lifeline?
Quan Ji glanced at the Taurus in her hand and couldn't help but sneer, "It seems that Ming Yan really is one of our people."
There's no need to speculate any further.
If Mingyan's mission was to lure them into a trap, then the only possibility for Capricorn, who is still here as a glimmer of hope, is that it was part of Mingyan's deliberate plan.
He deceived everyone and escaped Yuan's sight.
Quan Ji's gaze fell on Shen Wuyue and An Wuying: "You and Ming Yan had already discussed this beforehand, right?"
An Wuying scratched his head sheepishly, while Shen Wuyue remained as calm as ever, with a faint smile on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Quan Ji said, "You are very clever. You have played a game of chess, and everyone, including me, is a pawn in your game, right?"
The feeling of having one's plan exposed is always unsettling, and An Wuying is not one to keep secrets. Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide anymore: "Uh... there's no need to keep it a secret any longer, Miss. You've realized it yourself... indeed, as you said, everything has been a game we've been playing. The reason we kept it from you was because we were afraid you wouldn't be willing to sacrifice some people. As for Mingyan, we initially thought he had really betrayed us, but later we discovered that he had been holding back a lot of opportunities, secretly reminding us of his situation."
“Actually, we all knew from the War of the Gods that the Abyss and you were inextricably linked. Only one of you could survive. The two of you were destined by the laws of nature. So… back then, after learning this news, Mingyan hid it from everyone and joined the Abyss Cult, and has been working hard to awaken the Abyss.”
"His purpose in doing this was simply to gain Yuan's trust, even to the point of being willing to be devoured by the power of the abyss... But Yuan, despite his meticulous planning, overlooked one thing: how could the dazzling sun be hidden by darkness? Although he was affected by the power of the abyss, he could not be controlled. He was always disguising himself and conveying various kinds of information about Yuan to us."
"But actually, we only came to this conclusion not long ago, around the time when he tried to kill Qiu Ming but spared his life."
“The revival of Yuan was not orchestrated by us. Rather, Mingyan knew very well that the life force of the Tree of Life could no longer withstand the pressure. If Yuan did not revive, the Noah Continent would inevitably fall into an absolute crisis of extinction, without Yuan even having to take action.”
"You also said that the timing of our arrival was always very coincidental. Actually, we wanted to save you as soon as possible when Yuan was revived, but at that time we realized how bad the condition of the Tree of Life was, so we had no choice but to take this measure."
"Later, the awakening of Han Yin was a plan we devised simultaneously with Ming Yan, including the death of Quan Chengying..."
When Quan Ji heard this, she paused for a moment, and anger almost rose to her head, but she quickly suppressed it.
Before revealing these truths, they also said that they were afraid she wouldn't be able to accept the sacrifice.
Indeed, she is a very naive person, no longer the ruthless and merciless person she was in her previous life, willing to do anything to achieve her goals.
If she had known there would be such a sacrifice, she would never have agreed to it. She would have said she would find a way—but what way could she have thought of?
A strange emotion welled up in her throat, and Quan Ji gave a cold laugh: "Then why are you willing to confess now?"
Both Shen Wuyue and An Wuying could hear the displeasure in Quan Ji's tone, and they were also extremely annoyed. This kind of explanation was really hard to bear.
In particular, the young lady herself is not stupid; on the contrary, she is a very smart person.
The young lady probably already knew these things, but she spoke up now only because she trusted them too much. The truth was laid bare before her, and she could no longer deceive herself; she would not be deceived by them.
The feeling of being deceived by someone you trust makes you unsure how to bring it up, even if they are the "fraudster."
Quan Ji knew that the two of them couldn't speak, so she said coldly, "Fine, what you said makes sense. I really can't accept such a sacrifice, but I'm not an unreasonable person. Even if you deceived me, it was for the sake of the entire Noah Continent."
“I’m not a fool. There are many ways to sacrifice. Everyone will sacrifice. Everyone in the world will die, but the dead will not die in vain. I will die too. Mingyan’s solo infiltration of the Abyss Order was no different from a lamb entering a tiger’s den. We were all protecting this land, risking our lives. What right do I have to criticize others?”
"The most important thing right now is to get Capricorn and Taurus sorted out. After that... we'll talk about it after everything is over."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After letting out a sigh of relief, he took a closer look at the girl in front of him.
She was just an eighteen-year-old child.
She already carries a very heavy burden.
A strange, indescribable feeling stirred within everyone.
well--
A thousand words can only be reduced to a sigh.
Everyone puts the big picture first, everyone is protecting this land in their own way, everyone is afraid of sacrifice, but everyone has to accept sacrifice.
Living is something we are not in control of.
The moonlight emanating from the moon goddess was undulating and slowly sinking.
The dazzling Capricorn constellation shimmered brightly in the dark seabed. Quan Ji reached out and pulled the Capricorn into her hand. The seabed, swallowed by the abyss, was devoid of stars, and two strange beasts appeared before everyone.
In the pitch-black depths of the sea, starlight twinkles.
A goat's head and a fish's tail, the guardian deity of Capricorn.
A bull that is entirely golden, the guardian deity of the golden bull.
"Greetings, Miss!"
