Chapter 179

Lan Ze B began to slowly recount his story with Ye Xi.

As it turned out, there was also an ancient human in World B, and she was the only ancient human in this world; her name was Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was initially saved by Luka B and lived in Aosilan as a viviparous female. Later, she was forcibly taken to Sote by Zongfang B, and some entanglements occurred between them. Later, she returned to Aosilan and mated with Lan Ze B. Because Laiboli B was unwilling to accept that Ye Xi had mated with someone else, he launched a mutiny, became the new Sun of Aosilan, and forced Ye Xi to mate with him... These plot points overlapped with most of the experiences of Sui Sui that Lan Ze knew. The only difference was that Ye Xi had given birth to younglings for Luka, Laiboli, Zongfang, Lan Ze, and Ka'er, and she had never gone to the Interstellar Strategic Academy, nor had she lived in the small building at the border, so she didn't know Sang Yan. She met Anubis when the Federation sent Scavengers to surround and capture the Rebel Army; it was only because she accidentally saved him that she developed a connection with him.

Unlike Qiao Suisui, Ye Xi hated Zongfang, was distant toward Luka, had some ambiguity with Laiboli but discovered their personalities were incompatible, leading to a breakdown in their relationship, had a playful dynamic with Ka'er, and trusted Lan Ze deeply. Only Anubis was the person she truly loved in the real sense, and the one with whom she had experienced life and death.

Therefore, in the later stages, when Anubis was killed, Ye Xi "left" this world in sorrow.

Lan Ze spent some time digesting this. Although he felt it was all incredibly absurd rationally, emotionally, he couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean by 'left'? Did Ye Xi commit suicide for love?"

Lan Ze B shook his head, "She logged out."

Lan Ze didn't understand what "logged out" meant. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Lan Ze B say, "I don't know what logging out means either. At first, I thought she had left this planet, so I spent five years searching every star system, but found nothing. Later, in a secret base that only the two of us knew about, I found a letter she left for me. In the letter, she said she felt disappointed in this world and decided to return to her own world.

I often think, if I had found a way to change Anubis's ending, if he hadn't died, would Ye Xi still have left in sorrow? My greatest regret is that I clearly foresaw Anubis's ending but didn't tell her, nor did I attempt to save Anubis..."

Lan Ze B's back slumped powerlessly. He covered his face with both hands, tears sliding through his fingers.

"I have survived 175,200 nights without her. I don't know how to get through the days ahead..."

Lan Ze was infected by that sorrowful voice, his brows furrowing involuntarily. He could feel the heartbreak, and what was even sadder was the powerlessness behind those tears.

He suddenly felt that he was lucky. Lan Ze B didn't know what method to use to get his Ye Xi back, but compared to him, he could still breathe and live under the same sky as her. When he missed her, he could quietly take a look at her. Even if Sui Sui couldn't go back to the way things were with him, it was already more than enough.

"So that's why you came from your world to mine, to tell me that fate can be changed..." Lan Ze looked up and sighed, finally understanding the crux of the matter.

Lan Ze B nodded. His eyes, washed by tears, were as clear as the sky. He gave a bitter smile and said, "I thought that since you are me in another world, our way of thinking must be the same. I knew what to say to make you take action."

To a certain extent, Lan Ze B had anticipated Lan Ze A's anticipation, which led to the subsequent series of chain maneuvers: enraging Zongfang, killing Niao, and exposing Qiao Suisui's identity. The highest realm of calculating and manipulating human hearts is to include oneself in the calculation.

"I hope that at least in that world, you don't have to experience the agonizing wait for a lover to return," Lan Ze B muttered.

Lan Ze's thoughts were in chaos, and he said dazedly, "It won't happen. Sui Sui is not Ye Xi. She won't just log out..."

Judging from the choices the two of them made, although the key plot developments were the same, the details were worlds apart. Sui Sui and Ye Xi were two completely different people; they had different choices, and every choice led to different gains and experiences.

"How can you be sure?" Lan Ze B asked in return.

"I..." Lan Ze wanted to refute, but couldn't speak.

Yes, what if Sui Sui also suffered a blow similar to Anubis being killed? What would she do? Would she abandon everything here and just leave?

Lan Ze suddenly felt a wave of panic. He asked urgently, "As long as I don't let Anubis die, it will be fine, right?" Lan Ze B nodded, then shook his head. "I don't understand your 'her'. Anubis's death was the final straw that crushed Ye Xi, so the essence of this matter is—whether it's my Ye Xi or your Sui Sui, they both have the right to choose to leave this world. And once she chooses to leave, you, Sikesaisi, and Zongfang will have no way to find her again."

Lan Ze felt as if a basin of ice-cold water had been poured over his head, leaving him as if he were in an ice cellar.

"What should I do... What should I do..." Lan Ze rushed up and grabbed his arms, asking excitedly.

Lan Ze B said, "I don't know. Everything I could do for you, I have already done."

They both had precognition. What he didn't tell Ye Xi, he had made this Lan Ze do, but he didn't know if fate would change because of it.

"I can't foresee it anymore..." Lan Ze covered his head in pain. "Ever since I did those things, I haven't been able to see clear images. Sometimes, even if I see them, the next time I look, the images have all changed..."

Lan Ze B frowned and said, "That means fate is changing, doesn't it?"

Lan Ze suddenly looked up, staring at him in astonishment. "It is... changing..."

Yes, because the ending wasn't fixed, he couldn't foresee it.

His previous actions were indeed like the ripples stirred up by a butterfly, and the subsequent series of trajectories had all changed because of it. ——Federation.

Zong Yan held a report in his hand, passed through six security doors, scanned his iris, and finally walked into the Head of State's office area.

As soon as he walked in, he saw the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The cigar in his hand had been burning for a long time, yet he hadn't taken a single puff.

This was a sign that the Head of State was in a bad mood.

Zong Yan lowered his eyes, placed the report on the desk, and spoke steadily: "Since Danding Kangna is already dead, and we have imprisoned his son, the remaining rebels hiding outside are simply not to be feared."

The Head of State turned around. His mouth didn't move, but a withered, hoarse voice came from the loudspeaker at his throat: "You think those are small fry? How do you know another Danding Kangna won't emerge? I think it would be better to kill them all early, otherwise, there will always be future trouble."

Zong Yan said yes.

The Head of State picked up the report, scanned it twice, and threw it on the floor. Extremely cruel experimental photos scattered out, several of which were taken when Anubis was tied to an electric shock bed. Neither of the two people in the room cared at all.

The Head of State said displeasedly, "We've researched for so many days, yet we still haven't discovered why that kid controlled the rampage. What am I paying these researchers for!"

After speaking, his shrewd eyes turned to Zong Yan, and a kind smile appeared on his face. "I remember, your son is also a researcher."

Smart readers should have already guessed. (End of chapter)
