Chapter 216

Lan Ze stood on familiar land, but everything here made him feel strange.

Every brick and tile he 'saw' with mental power was the Huangting of his childhood, never changed. Here, there was also a Lan Ze, who had a fate the same as and different from his.

"Go back, go back to your world." He said to Lan Ze.

Lan Ze returned to the place where the B world and A world intersected with doubt and anxiety, but fell into a place by mistake.

This place seemed to be a crack, connecting the two worlds together. It floated in the void, the edge of the black hole flickering with faint light, like a lonely star in the galaxy.

The surrounding scenery began to become blurred, Lan Ze tried his best to extend his mental tentacles to the longest, feeling shrouded by a layer of mist. It was an indescribable force, wrapping him.

Here, the concepts of time and space became blurred, and all senses were deprived.

His body floated in the void, gradually sinking into a stupor, and he closed his eyes.

In this different-dimensional space, all perception was erased, and Lan Ze's mental power was also interfered with, as if entering a realm of 'nothingness'. There was no passage of time here, no boundaries of space, and no matter existed.

He didn't know how long had passed. In the chaos, he vaguely heard the voices of two people talking. The sound seemed to come from a very far place, like speaking across water.

"What is your purpose in asking me to come?"

"I want to ask you to enter the game one more time. I will tell you everything I know about the game, I only hope you can change Anubis's ending."

"Why me?"

Lan Ze opened his eyes abruptly, trying hard to 'listen'. He recognized the voice of one of them, muttering: "Sui Sui... it's Sui Sui..."

He desperately approached the source of the sound, regardless of everything, radiating mental power, and sure enough, he saw her, whom he missed day and night, in the layers of chaos.

Her clothing had changed, her face was more immature than before, and at this moment, her expression was cold, her eyes filled with loneliness.

Lan Ze discovered that the environment around Sui Sui was very strange, even significantly different from the interstellar space. He wanted to step forward and grab her wrist, but in the next second, he discovered that his hand had passed through her body.

"How could this be..." He clenched his hands and opened them, trying to hug her again, but still passed through her body like a ghost.

Lan Ze saw Sui Sui leave and hurriedly chased after her, but his footsteps stalled when passing the seat opposite.

"Ye Xi?"

B Lan Ze had shown him photos of Ye Xi.

B Lan Ze's words immediately echoed in his ears—

【Ye Xi logged out】

【She left me a letter, she returned to her own world...】

If Sui Sui was with her, it meant they came from the same world, which meant Sui Sui also logged out... Lan Ze thought of this possibility, his body swaying slightly, and he couldn't stand firm for a moment. He came to his senses, struggled to run to the revolving door of the cafe, wanting to catch up with Qiao Suisui, but in the next instant of stepping out of the door, the surrounding chaos disappeared and faded like rolling thick smoke, and under his feet was the land of the Freedom Alliance.

Lan Ze gasped and kept looking around, "Back... this is Xuyan."

He searched for Qiao Suisui's figure, but gained nothing. Lan Ze was inexplicably panicked, but he kept repeating in his heart: "It won't be, she won't leave, it won't be."

Lan Ze entered the center of Kanbukun City with an anxious expression, intending to rent a flying ship to return to the Aosilan Diguo, but along the way, he saw many people in the city not dressed in the Freedom Alliance style. Their clothing was not that of the Federation beastmen, nor local residents, but more like the Rebel Army he had heard of. However, the surrounding Freedom Alliance residents were completely unguarded against this, even chatting enthusiastically with them, the scene very harmonious. Lan Ze looked at this scene blankly, always feeling that he had missed some important clue. But the urgent matter was that he must confirm Sui Sui hadn't logged out, so he didn't care to figure it out.

He first returned to the church backyard where he was temporarily staying, discovering that the house was much older than when he left. A child was cleaning the yard with a broom, tilted his head and asked: "Who are you looking for?"

Lan Ze said: "I greeted Bishop Ti Ya here and borrowed a place to stay for a period of time. Now I'm here to get my things, preparing to leave."

The child said in surprise: "Bishop Ti Ya went wandering three years ago, you wouldn't be a liar, would you?"

Lan Ze started, asked: "Three years ago?" He carefully searched the place inside and out with mental power, and there was indeed no Bishop Ti Ya, and he couldn't help but frown.

The child raised the broom to drive him away: "Hurry up and leave! My father is a subordinate of the Dragon Clan, you know Alliance Leader Sang Yan, right? He often comes to our house as a guest, don't blame me for being impolite if you don't leave!"

Lan Ze keenly captured the information in his words. With his intelligence, an absurd conjecture immediately emerged in his heart.

"You said... Sang Yan is the Alliance Leader? Which Alliance Leader?"

"Where else could it be, the Freedom Alliance."

Lan Ze was dazed, and asked again: "What year is it this year?"

"763 Star Year. You don't even know this?"

The child looked strangely at the big brother in front of him, hearing him mutter to himself:

"763... how could it be like this..."

Counting the time of departure and searching for the entrance to the B world in Xuyan, it had only been a few months. Why, after coming out of there, was it already ten years later... Could it be that the time flow of the two worlds was different? Lan Ze's thoughts were chaotic. He steadied his mind and asked: "Where is Sang Yan, I want to see him."

Sunless Rainforest.

Sang Yan stood on top of the mountain, placing the bouquet in his hand on a rock with a special shape. On that huge rock, four characters were carved—Cape of the World.

A beastman in Rebel Army attire walked up, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Alliance Leader, everything is arranged."

Sang Yan turned and helped him up, saying: "I've said it many times, you don't need to be like this, the Freedom Alliance doesn't have such etiquette."

That person still had a respectful face: "If it weren't for you unselfishly accepting us ten years ago, we would very likely have been killed by the Federation. It was you who saved us from displacement, gave us a place to live, and allowed us to build families here. We will always keep it in mind."

Lan Ze heard this conversation when he came up. He had also roughly understood the ins and outs on the way here.

It turned out that not long after Lan Ze went to the B world, the news of Dante Connor being killed in the A world spread, Anubis was also caught, the Rebel Army collapsed completely, they resisted stubbornly, and the remaining remnants fled and scattered. Not long after, Zong Yan came to power, and for several years, he had been killing them all.

Three years later, Laiboli launched a war like a madman, Sang Yan broke with him, returned to the Freedom Alliance to establish an armed force, and in the following years, sat in the position of Alliance Leader, leading the entire Freedom Alliance.

It was also at this time that Sang Yan accidentally saved the fleeing Rebel Army and spent a long time building trust with them, finally letting the Freedom Alliance accept all the remaining Rebel Army.

Time returned to the present moment. Sang Yan saw Lan Ze standing opposite and ordered others to retreat.

"I heard you disappeared for a long time."

Lan Ze didn't answer, but asked urgently: "Where is Sui Sui? Where is she?"
