“Actually, I have a question too. If there was no Wang Zheng, would you have liked me?” asked Lear.

In Lear’s life, he had always pursued power and success. The renaissance of the Solar System was like his destiny. He had missed out on a lot of things in life. If ever there was a girl that had captured his heart and, despite the many excuses, he was willing to accept her as his other half, that girl had to be Meng Tian.

Meng Tian was silent for a moment. “No.”

Lear smiled. Meng Tian was still so direct, without the slightest trace of pretense. This was probably the reason why he was attracted to her. Because he had led such a pretentious life, he craved honesty. Wang Zheng led an honest life, but since they walked the same path, they were enemies.

“Thanks for today.” Regardless, Meng Tian should still express her thanks.

“I have no way of getting you out of here, but during the last days of living as a human, I hope you won’t treat me as an enemy,” said Lear.

Meng Tian smiled. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We’ve come full circle. Now, just before the end, we can be friends for once.”

“Honestly, I’m rather jealous of Wang Zheng. He is so capable and it makes me, the handsome, rich guy, look embarrassed. I just can’t understand how he can be this strong. My Ares Art is a lost knowledge that has been passed down from the ancient martial arts times. Both Achilles and Lie Xin had practices passed down from their ancestors. When did he learn those?” Lear smiled bitterly while shaking his head.

Meng Tian could almost feel Lear’s helplessness and sorrow. Thinking about it, he was rather pitiful. Lear was just splitting hairs. He had always fought earnestly with Wang Zheng when there was no need for it. This was a big world.

“I don’t know how either, but Wang’s Zheng’s technique is indeed very powerful. My technique was taught by him too.” Meng Tian was remembering those sweet moments. Those were her best days. Actually, it was Lear’s as well as hers.

Lear glanced at Meng Tian. “It hurts. What sort of magic spell did Wang Zheng cast on you and Aina, making both of you so obsessed? If I may, during the last moment, can I come see you? We’ll just talk like this. Looking at you, I can still remember that I was once a human.”

Meng Tian nodded. “Same here. I’m not any better off myself.”

Lear left. Meng Tian felt Lear “letting go.” There was no pretense in a place like this. Lear had never regretted it, and neither had she. She had chosen to be part of the expedition team, then chosen as the human sacrifice. What was all this?

Was there an escape?

Destiny seemed to have extended a hand and prevented her from escaping. All she hoped for was that Xie Yuxin and the rest could leave safely. That was all she hoped for.

“Boss, Boss. I can feel that you are very happy. Did you and Meng Tian make some progress?!” Luo Fei was really happy for Lear. He had always hoped that Lear would find some joy in life, just like him. As long as there was food, he would be happy.

The tender look in Lear’s eyes was gradually disappearing. He was silent for a moment. “If my guess is right, Wang Zheng is the one who inherited the Oracle.”

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. “With the intelligence of the Saint, they could not have not seen it. He is a sitting duck. His circumstances are not any better than mine!”

Luo Fei was a little startled. Was what he had seen earlier an illusion?

The earlier Lear, who was bathing in good vibes, the gentleness he had when chatting with Meng Tian, were they all fake?

“Not only are we going to live, we are also going to make the world, who had looked down on us, abandoned us, regret it. If I can’t get the world to like me, then I’ll make them fear me!” There was a strange confidence behind the callousness.

While he was saying these words, Luo Fei felt that Lear had been... completely revived. However, under the current circumstances, shouldn’t he feel despair?

Lear did not pay any attention to Luo Fei. He already had his answer. There had been no reason for the pressure that he had always felt from Wang Zheng. This was a devastation to Lear’s confidence. If Wang Zheng was judged to be the heir of the Oracle, then this passiveness changed everything. His battling schedule was already fully packed. This would be interesting. He could have no concern when he made his move. It was time to see who was better!

“Urghm. Boss, is there something that is making you happy? Share with me so I can share your joy. I’m in no mood to eat,” said Luo Fei.

“Don’t you think our genetic evolution is faster than the rest?” said Lear while stretching his hands. There were already signs of mutation. The process was painful, but the effects were amazing and rather combative.

“I... don’t feel much, just a bit hungry.” Luo Fei scratched his head.

Lear did not know what to say about this fellow. “I can feel that it’s our Ability Xs. Both of us belong to the devouring attribute, and this soul compatibility is the best. Pay more attention to this at the petri dish. Our physiques could perhaps create miracles!”

Regardless of whether this was true or otherwise, Lear would be working hard towards this direction. Wang Zheng’s survival rate was extremely low. After all, the Great Elder was behind this. According to his judgement, the Great Elder would kill Wang Zheng if he could not acquire the Oracle inheritance from him. At this stage, even if Wang Zheng had the ability to communicate with the gods, there was no way he could beat Great Elder. That inherited technique may be the strongest, but it needed time.

For him, the fusion of the strongest Abyssal Zerg genes was a way to jump out from the human form. He was not concerned about what he would become. The strengths that he would receive could be conquered. However, the success rate was also very low at the same time. The Saint’s ultimate result was to create a new human race that perfectly combined the different genes, not some new monsters. Basically, it should keep the human form but inherit the genetic strengths and even continue to use physical techniques and Ability Xs. This would be the ultimate evolution. Anyone who possessed the all-rounded survivability and terrifying physical fitness of the Zerg would be reborn as a god!

The possibilities for both of them were extremely low. This was a competition once again. Could Wang Zheng survive in the end? Or could he make a breakthrough?

If Wang Zheng was lucky enough to survive and he was also able to make a breakthrough, Lear would once again be on the same starting point as Wang Zheng. However, their stage was now the entire Milky Way Alliance and maybe even the entire human race.

This was what Lear craved most!

As for what Meng Tian had said, there were some half-truths to it. Lear had indeed been tempted. But ultimately, this was not what he wanted.

To have as much perseverance as Lear was absolutely exceptional indeed.

The Holy City was overcast and the aura of death filled the entire city. From the measures used by the Saint, it was obvious that the battle of the Oracle was no laughing matter. If they did not acquire the extra signs after three days, death would be a certainty. Killings in the dark were starting to run amok.

As the center of the storm, the location where Wang Zheng and the rest were was usually quiet.

For Wang Zheng to be chosen as one of the top six candidates, his strengths were already self-evident. Those who had some form of intelligence would have to weigh out their place. Besides, this was just the beginning; there was no need to show off too much. This was a person who dared to put on airs in front of the Elders.

Tang Yuyang also did not know whether to cry or laugh. Time was slowly slipping away. Had Cadillana and Bilro been scared off?
