Chapter 186

Night fell, and the stars were like weaving; Zhou Xuan and Xingluo walked side by side on the rugged mountain road, their footsteps firm and urgent, as if an invisible force was pulling them forward.

All around were dense jungles, and occasionally the chirping of night birds came, adding a bit of mystery and unease.

"Xingluo, are you sure this voice is real?"

Zhou Xuan asked in a low voice, his eyes full of both anticipation and doubt.

Since that sudden change, they had been looking for the truth, and this mysterious voice seemed to be the clue they had been looking for.

Xingluo held the navigator tightly; it was a simple device she made based on the sound waves, capable of capturing weak signal sources.

"I'm sure, Zhou Xuan. This voice has been guiding us, as if someone is helping us in the dark."

Her voice was light but full of firmness.

After a difficult trek, they finally arrived before a cave entrance covered by dense vegetation.

The cave entrance was not large but emitted an unusual aura.

Zhou Xuan drew his sword and walked in front vigilantly, while Xingluo followed closely behind, holding a small light energy ball in her hand, illuminating the road ahead for the two.

As they went deeper into the cave, the scene before them gradually became open.

A huge laboratory appeared before them, filled with all kinds of strange-looking technological equipment, flickering with faint blue light.

These devices were clearly products that transcended the era they were in, full of unknowns and miracles.

"This... where is this?"

Zhou Xuan looked around in surprise, his heart filled with shock.

.... Begging for flowers.. 0

Just then, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows; he wore a white lab coat, his face was clear and thin, and his eyes revealed a temperament that transcended the world.

"Welcome to my laboratory, I am a scientist from another parallel universe, Aven."

The stranger's voice was gentle and powerful, as if it could pierce through the human heart.

"Mr. Aven?"

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo looked at each other, both seeing surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

"Yes, I have been researching how to travel through different worlds. And you are an unexpected harvest of my many years of research."

Aven said with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity and longing for the unknown.

"Then, why are you here? And why guide us here?"

Zhou Xuan asked directly; he urgently wanted to know the truth.

Aven sighed gently, appearing somewhat heavy.

"Actually, I have been paying attention to your world. I discovered a shocking secret behind the Disaster Empire—those so-called exposures of evil deeds were actually the cheaters using high-tech means to tamper with historical records."

"What?!"

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo exclaimed at the same time; they simply could not believe their ears.

"Yes, the cheaters possess technological power beyond your imagination. To cover up their crimes, they did not hesitate to tamper with history, making you the scapegoats."

Aven continued, his tone full of anger and helplessness.

Zhou Xuan clenched his fists, a flash of resolve in his eyes.

"Then, what should we do? How can we prove our innocence?"

195. 【Deep Underground, Secret Base】

"Restore historical records."

Aven answered concisely and powerfully, "As long as you can find those tampered historical records and restore them to their original state, you can expose the true face of the cheaters."

"But, this is easier said than done?"

Xingluo said worriedly,

"We don't even know who the cheaters are, let alone find evidence of them tampering with historical records."

Aven smiled slightly, as if he had long been prepared.

"Don't worry, I have already prepared for you. I have developed a device that can travel through time and space; as long as you can find enough energy to start it, you can travel back to the past and stop the cheaters' conspiracy."

"A device that travels through time and space?" Zhou Xuan and Xingluo looked at each other again, their eyes full of shock and anticipation.

"Yes, but using it requires huge energy. And you happen to possess the core energy of the Disaster Empire." Aven pointed to the energy stone on Zhou Xuan's chest; that was the symbol of his status as the leader of the Disaster Empire.

Zhou Xuan was silent for a moment and then said resolutely: "I am willing to contribute this energy. As long as we can prove our innocence and restore the truth of history, I am willing to do anything."

Xingluo held Zhou Xuan's hand tightly, tears flickering in her eyes.

"I am also willing to accompany you to face all of this."

With Aven's help, they began to prepare to start the device.

The entire laboratory was filled with a tense and orderly atmosphere.

Zhou Xuan placed the energy stone into the core part of the device; with a flash of dazzling light, the device began to start slowly.

"Are you ready?" Aven asked.

"Ready!" Zhou Xuan and Xingluo answered in unison.

With a roar of the device, they felt a powerful force wrapping them up.

The surrounding scene began to distort and blur, as if the entire world was collapsing before their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they had returned to a time point before the exposure of evil deeds.

They stood in a familiar square, surrounded by bustling crowds and busy merchants.

"We succeeded!" Xingluo shouted excitedly.

But Zhou Xuan remained calm. "No, we haven't succeeded yet... We must find the cheaters and stop them."

They began to act separately, utilizing their understanding of this world and searching for clues that the cheaters might have left behind.

After some arduous efforts, they finally found the hiding place of the cheaters—a secret base hidden deep underground.

There, they engaged in a fierce battle with the cheaters.

The cheaters possessed powerful technological power and cunning schemes, but Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, relying on firm belief and tacit cooperation, finally successfully defeated the cheaters and restored the historical records.

When the truth was revealed to the world, the entire world was shocked.

The names of Zhou Xuan and Xingluo were forever engraved on the monument of history, becoming 2.0 heroes in people's mouths.

However, for Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, this was just a new beginning.

They knew that in the days to come, there were more challenges and unknowns waiting for them to explore and conquer. But they believed that as long as they relied on each other and moved forward together, nothing could stop their footsteps forward.

196. 【What Secret is Hidden?】

Night was like ink, stars were hidden, and Zhou Xuan and Xingluo stood before an ancient ruin; this was the hiding place of the cheaters they finally found through precise calculations and countless space-time jumps.

The air was permeated with a kind of oppression and unease, as if even the wind was trembling.

"Are you ready, Xingluo?"

Zhou Xuan's voice was low and firm, his eyes flickering with unquestionable resolve.

Xingluo smiled slightly, the short blade in her hand flashing with cold light in the moonlight, "Of course, I have been waiting for this moment."

The two looked at each other; there was no need for more words, their tacit understanding was already deep. They took a deep breath and stepped into the depths of the ruins, where the cheaters were waiting for their arrival.

The interior of the ruins was intricate, like a maze, but Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, relying on their extraordinary perception and judgment, soon arrived at the secret room of the cheaters.

The cheater, a mysterious figure wearing a black robe with his face hidden in the shadows, was sitting leisurely on a stone chair, playing with a gem flickering with ominous light in his hand.

"Hmph, finally here? Two guys who don't know their own strength."

The cheater's voice was hoarse and mocking, as if he had long anticipated their arrival.

22 Zhou Xuan's brows furrowed, and anger surged in his chest, "You manipulated history and deceived the public; today is your end!"

The cheater chuckled, "Oh? Did you think you could change anything by relying on just the two of you? Naive."

Xingluo stepped forward, her gaze like a torch, "Then let's try."

Facing the cheater's provocation, Zhou Xuan did not hesitate anymore.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped by an invisible force.

That was the Disaster Empire's strongest weapon—Disaster Power, a power capable of inducing changes in heaven and earth and destroying all things.

"Disaster Descends!"

Zhou Xuan roared in a low voice, pushing his hands forward abruptly; they saw the sky suddenly crack open a huge gap, and a destructive energy surged out like a tide, heading straight for the cheater.

Seeing this, the cheater's face changed slightly, but he sneered immediately, waving the gem in his hand; a black barrier instantly formed around him, blocking the impact of the Disaster Power.

"Mere Disaster Power, and you want to hurt me?" The cheater was triumphant. ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
