Chapter 699: Go, fight, until the end of life

Zhang Jie eventually still found the Mother God; this is an obstacle that can never be bypassed.

With Zhang Jie's ability, it's utterly impossible to resist the outside Insect Tide; if it were just one or two waves that would be fine, but know that the outside Insect Tide is endless.

However, what surprised Zhang Jie was that the Mother God actually agreed to his request, but the other party's condition was to let everyone of this species live out their lives in peace, but not to continue the lineage.

This is my bottom line: letting me continue together with you ugly monsters is worse than just going extinct together now.

Zhang Jie was about to retort, but he swallowed the words back.

Indeed, in the eyes of the mimic species, humans are just a bunch of tentacled monsters, but the mimic group at least aren't all fair-skinned and beautiful—they're at least a group of normal-shaped humanoids.

To have this group of normal-shaped humans live together with tentacled monsters, frankly, even Zhang Jie couldn't agree.

"Fine."

"I want to know if Qi Yu can still come back."

The Mother God froze instantly; in this negotiation she didn't let Qi Yu come out, because this little girl would easily be seen through by the other side.

After so much time passed, he still thought the other side had given up hope, but he didn't expect this monster to still be thinking of Qi Yu.

"....."

"She has never died."

The Mother God finally spoke the truth; Zhang Jie let out a breath and nodded.

"Then I can rest easy."

Inside the Mother God, Qi Yu suddenly had a bad premonition; she struggled to come out, but the Mother God pressed her down firmly.

"After we finish together, I will return her body to her."

"Don't worry about me breaking the contract; my mission is"

The Mother God said so, but Zhang Jie still had doubts.

"When exactly did you find out about all this—whether it's the Evil God, the outside Insect disaster, or even the true form of humanity?"

Zhang Jie asked, and the Mother God fell silent for a moment before speaking.

"From the day you successfully broke through the Forbidden Permit."

"Me? No..."

What else did Zhang Jie do that day? The answer is obvious—he also went to visit the Evil God.

Probably then, the Evil God chose to make the Mother God understand her mission.

"Really... quite unexpected."

Zhang Jie gave a light laugh; all his confusion and doubts vanished, his heart filled with peace, as if nothing mattered anymore.

All the things he couldn't let go of were resolved at this moment.

This will bring an end to all his weariness, becoming a Legendary Investigator, yet it didn't make him much easier.

On the contrary, the pressure of the entire species weighs on his shoulders—something ordinary people couldn't bear.

Qi Yu being able to come back—well, that's good, very good.

As for Lei Na, it's even worse—his parents are practically raising her as their own daughter, and even his older sister constantly complains about it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jie couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile, but this smile came from the heart.

"Too bad, Huang Yu is getting married next month, tsk."

The Mother God watched Zhang Jie muttering to himself, furrowed her brows, and ultimately didn't speak.

"How will you break through when the time comes, uh, Legendary?"

"Obviously by eating... uh, you go ask the Evil God."

The Mother God was about to say what she had wanted to say, but not knowing what she had thought of, she quickly corrected herself.

Qi Yu inside was almost driven mad by anxiety; her sixth sense has always been accurate, and this time is no exception.

"Then let me come out and have a talk with the Master, okay!"

"Please, please, please!!"

Qi Yu kept crying, but the Mother God remained unmoved; she merely saw Zhang Jie off as he left.

The people on the ground still hadn't seen their Legendary Investigator; many only then felt something was off.

Why hasn't Zhang Jie come back yet?

Wait a bit longer; maybe... maybe he's just been held up by something.

At this moment, Zhang Jie bade farewell to the Mother God and directly sought out the Evil God.

"Alright, the Mother God has already agreed to my request."

"Go on, how can she break through to become a Legendary Investigator?"

The Evil God's eyes stared at Zhang Jie, remaining silent for a long time.

"Do you still remember that prophecy?"

"Of course, isn't it just..."

Before Zhang Jie could finish speaking, his pupils contracted sharply; he seemed to... understand something.

"When countless light cones converge, a Legendary Investigator will be born."

"But in the end, everything he doesn't cherish will be devoured by the mimic."

"Hmm, that's roughly how it is, do you understand?"

Zhang Jie fell silent, then nodded; he seemed to know exactly what he didn't cherish.

"You mean, I just..."

"Of course... not."

"So, can you hurry up and explain your plan, stop being a cryptic nuisance."

"....."

Well, well, a person whose days are numbered actually being so rude to another old timer whose days are numbered.

It's simple: I will tear open a hole in the galactic membrane, and you just need to kill them all, leaving none alive.

Sounds simple?

Not simple; it requires... you to fill it with your life.

Zhang Jie fell silent; the insect tide outside was endless, but that didn't mean the insect tide beyond the galactic membrane was also endless.

You need me... to clear the insect tide, to give the Mother God a chance to develop?

Yes, savior, I need you.

The Evil God finally learned to speak properly, but Zhang Jie had no mood to retort him.

Is there... no other way?

Zhang Jie frowned, and the Evil God's eyes rolled.

Mother God, growth takes time, and pollution proliferation also takes time.

If we don't clear the Insect Disaster outside, once the pollution erupts, these things will all surge in at once; the Mother God, wanting to protect the tribe, will have no spare strength to clear the Insect Disaster.

Unless you want most of life to vanish completely, and then civilization starts from the Stone Age.

Zhang Jie:....

Now, the final choice in life lies before Zhang Jie; choosing to cleanse the insect clan means he will most likely die.

No, he will definitely die!

Because Zhang Jie already understood the meaning of the prophecy, combining the Mother God's reaction and the Evil God's words, he already knew the answer.

Zhang Jie looked around; the galactic membrane was pitch black, blocking out the universe's starry sky.

Looking at some records left by previous civilizations, the universe's starry sky is a very beautiful thing.

Unfortunately, he will never get to see it in this lifetime.

Zhang Jie couldn't help but recall himself this morning, the self that resulted in countless golden threads.

This world is made of parallel spacetimes, right?

What would the versions of myself in other worlds do?

At the same moment, thoughts spread through countless parallel worlds, and also reached the eyes of a certain Zhang Jie.

At this moment, he sat in midair, tightly grasping countless threads in his hands, like a sovereign who rules over time.

But what he rules over is his own timeline.

The time has come.

Zhang Jie spoke softly, the corners of his mouth curving into an arc.

Go, fight, until the end of life.
