Chapter 4059

Tony is not the richest: "!!!!"

Kyoani: "Terrifying."

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "I'm hitting my own father."

"

Hoshino Shijuro: "A filial son! Manual laugh."

"

Tony is not the richest: "Is it just me who's paying attention to that picture of Xuanwozhang Sect?"

Tony Stark stroked his chin, his eyes glinting with mysterious light.

En Dagu: "I'm paying attention too—I have to say... the technique in this picture is truly soulful."

En Dagu stared at the picture with a strange expression.

The picture was based on Xuanwozhang Sect's invasion of Konoha... Xuanwozhang Sect replaced the face of the Deva Path with Fan Xian, and the village below was transformed into the capital of Southern Qing.

Kousaka Kyousuke: "Too brutal."

Sakata Ginji: "Xuanwozhang Sect: When I get serious, I even blacken myself!"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "..."

Wudao Dong Xiang: "Fan Xian... I thought you'd just kill your father outright! After all, in the original, you did exactly that... What made you change your strategy?"

Wudao Dong Xiang was curious.

Fan Xian: "I'm not quite sure... it's just... inexplicably, I can't bring myself to do it."

Fan Xian sighed softly. Though he knew what he was doing now was wrong... he just... inexplicably couldn't muster the heart for it.

Magical Girl Illya: "There's nothing to be done... after all, Emperor is his father."

Sakata Ginji: "Calm down! Honestly, even reading the original, I found myself kinda drawn to Emperor."

Sakata Ginji: "Of course, even though I really like this guy Emperor... if I were in Fan Xian's position, I'd chop him without hesitation."

Make the world feel pain: "Real."

"

Wei Bo: "It's normal. Batman's enemy, the Joker, is also a villain with unimaginable charisma... but if the Joker walked into the real world, it'd be terrifying."

"Who knows how many people would die!"

Aikawa Ayumu: "A dead Joker is a good Joker!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "You're all overthinking this."

Su Xiao Xiao: "In the original, Fan Xian acted without hesitation because his conflict with Emperor had been completely escalated! Even Cheng Pingping was already dead."

Su Xiao Xiao: "But now... the only conflict between Emperor and Fan Xian is the death of his mother."

"The key is, Fan Xian's feelings for that mother... may not be deep at all."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Oosaka Taiga: "It's a bit cruel, but the president might be right—that's probably the real truth."

Hatsune Miku: "Aaaaaah... if only Fan Xian would livestream this! I'd love to see Emperor's stunned face."

Katsura Kotoha: "I never thought you'd be someone so vile!"

Katsura Kotoha: "Actually, I want to see it too."

"Whispering under my breath."

"

Fan Xian: "..."

"Ding! Fan Xian uploaded a small memory replica: 'Unfated.'"

Su Han stared curiously at the new memory replica, thought for a moment, then clicked inside.

It was a vast rainy night.

Fan Xian walked calmly into the imperial palace, killing everything in his path.

No one could stop him—not even the Grand Eunuch inside the palace, nor the number-one archer in the land... finally, he reached Emperor's residence.

The massive Imperial Guard, the countless elite palace warriors—none slowed his steps even a fraction... none disturbed his breathing even slightly... "You've come..."

A hoarse voice came from within the Emperor's chamber.

Then the doors swung open, and Emperor, clad in dragon robes, stared expressionlessly at Fan Xian.

In his eyes lay a hint of contemplation, and also a touch of nostalgia.

He whispered, "So much like her... though in completely different ways."

"Compared to her domineering presence when studying those strange and bizarre things, yours is the domineering presence of a sovereign ruling all under heaven—perhaps..."

Emperor said nothing.

When he heard Fan Xian had stormed the palace, Emperor nearly thought he'd misheard... how could a boy of just a dozen or so years accomplish such a thing? He'd even wondered if the divine messenger Wu Zhu had intervened—disguised as Fan Xian. But now, face to face with the real one... Emperor finally understood.

This man was truly his and Ye's child.

Not just in appearance, but in that... familiar aura. Emperor had hesitated just now. Of course, his hesitation wasn't over anything else—it was over this: if he hadn't let Fan Xian be adopted by Fan Jian...

... but had raised him himself, would he have forged a wise, mighty, world-subduing Crown Prince? Of course, the thought flashed through Emperor's mind and vanished.
