Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 332 The Angel of Destruction
It's quite an interesting experience to discover that your close brother was actually from the same family two thousand years ago.

But on second thought, relatives from two thousand years ago don't seem to be worth getting too excited about anymore; blood ties have long since faded.

Even if we calculate based on four generations over a hundred years, that's over eighty generations...

In the blink of an eye, Han Su remembered the story that Ms. Shen had once told him. Because he had no intention of finding himself a set of parents, he was not interested in the love story between the genius doctor and the rich heiress.

At the time, I only vaguely heard it and thought it was about a tragic love story between a rich girl from a prestigious family and a genius boy from a poor background.

But now that I think about it, it seems more like a story of a genius doctor saving a beautiful, cursed girl.
If everything was foreshadowed when the World Conference was held twenty years ago, then was everything that happened afterward part of his plan?

Even including one's own birth?

Furthermore, is the global preferential treatment right written into the three major contracts only reflected in that stock?
He lowered his eyes slightly, pondering everything related to himself.

Mr. Xu, who was standing next to him, did not rush to interrupt his thoughts. He understood this mentality. Anyone who suddenly heard that they had a relationship with the legendary emperor would have a slightly different mentality.

In particular, this emperor's existence is so special that those of his bloodline are also cursed by nature, forever burdened with the sins committed against the world.

Han Su's pondering didn't last long. After a dozen seconds, he looked up at him and asked, "You believe this person?"

Mr. Xu paused for a moment before realizing who he was referring to.

He whispered, "We have no reason not to believe him."

"Firstly, because I deeply understand that once I was chosen and marked by the World Council, my fate and the fate of my family were already sealed."

"Furthermore, at that time, he gave me a rough outline of the plan for divine intervention."

"Although it was just an idea at the time, the talent he displayed was already convincing."

"More importantly, he's very persuasive!"

"..."

At this point, he shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile, "When we met in Salem, he only mentioned it to me briefly before disappearing."

"Nearly ten years have passed since then. During those ten years, I made many efforts to try to save my family, but every attempt and effort failed."

“I also deeply understand that once marked, fate is already sealed, whether for me or for my children.”

Han Su suddenly interrupted him: "What efforts have you made?"

Mr. Xu was somewhat surprised by the question Han Su asked. After a moment's thought, he said, "I once tried to find my family history to prove that I might not be of imperial blood, but I couldn't prove it because the history of the emperors was erased too cleanly, and I couldn't find any relevant clues."

"We also tried to find allies to change the fate of our family being marked, but we were helpless."

"I even tried to pin my hopes on some mysterious force to reverse my fate, but I failed. No mysterious force can affect the emperor's bloodline..."

"In short, I experienced all the frustrations I had never felt in the first half of my life during those ten years!"

"And then, under these circumstances, I met him again when he came to visit for the second time."

"..."

Mr. Xu sighed softly and said, "If I had any doubts or hesitations when I first met him and when he made his demands, then when he came to my door for the second time, I saw him as my lifeline."

"More importantly, I had my own child at that time, and he, as he said, had indeed married that Miss Shen and had a child who also had imperial blood..."

"This is more likely to gain our approval than any guarantee."

"So, at his request, I convened a secret small meeting with the other marked families. At that meeting, he told us about his plans and took the opportunity to make a few demands on us."

"..."

Han Su was slightly intrigued upon hearing this: "What is it?"

"The first thing he mentioned was the Divine Descent Plan!"

Mr. Xu said in a deep voice, "He told us that after the God's Descent Plan begins, we will move to Qinggang for various reasons and wait for the God's Descent Plan to be implemented."

"He didn't know what would happen either, but he made us swear an oath that there were three things we needed to do immediately after arriving in Qinggang, regardless of whether the God's Descent Plan succeeded or failed."

"Of course, this is just preparation. If the divine descent plan succeeds and he doesn't come looking for us again, then we'll swallow all of this and forget about it!"

"If the divine intervention plan fails, or if some other wrath arises, then we must fulfill these three tasks."

"This is the premise of everything; he wants us to swear an oath on the grounds of our own children."

"..."

Han Su frowned: "If you're going to swear an oath, why not swear it in scarlet?"

"I don't understand either."

Mr. Xu hesitated slightly at this point: "It seems he believes that swearing an oath with his own child is more intimidating than scarlet?"

"In short, we were all very serious at the time and agreed to all his conditions. After that, everything went as usual. We just didn't expect that he would disappear so quickly."

"He disappeared before the Divine Descent Project even officially began, and the person who ultimately took over the Divine Descent Project was that Ms. Shen..."

"And we, for some reason, just moved to Qinggang and quietly waited for everything to happen. Sometimes when we think about it, it's as if his promise to us has been forgotten, and we don't even know if it should still stand."

"We must admit that, to some extent, we have indeed become somewhat complacent."

Xu's father paused, glanced at Han Su, and felt a vague sense of guilt. He sighed softly and said, "In my eyes, or rather, in my current eyes, life is so peaceful that it's almost eerily quiet."

“I witnessed the kidnapping at the castle and knew that it was definitely related to the so-called divine intervention plan. In fact, I knew very well that the divine intervention plan should have involved my child, but he just lived to be this old without a care in the world.”

"The only thing that can remind me is his friendship with you."

"I know who you two are, so I'm pretty sure something is going on."

"As promised, I didn't delve into what exactly happened until later, when the account with the black rose avatar told me about another possibility. That night, I dreamed about another one..."

"possible!"

“In that life, my child was kidnapped, all of you were kidnapped, and even… you didn’t escape the castle!”

"..."

"what?"

Han Su was genuinely surprised to hear this: "What kind of thing is it?"

"It's hard to describe..."

Mr. Xu looked distressed and said in a low voice, "I only remember that there was a scene where there was a lot of fire. I saw the earth crack open and a huge abyss appeared before our eyes."

"I saw twelve enormous figures emerge from the abyss, and I saw all the cities shatter as easily as glass, then be swallowed by fire and the abyss. Civilization was as fragile as a dream..."

"Twelve enormous figures?"

Han Su pondered intently, "Could they be the twelve monsters inside the castle?"

"I have to say, that dream really scared me."

Mr. Xu sighed, "Originally, we were fulfilling our agreement with that Dr. Han, but to be honest, life was too peaceful, so we lacked motivation."

"There's even a nagging worry that if we do what he suggested, it might disrupt our peaceful life and push our family, who have stayed away from the risks, back into the fire..."

"But that dream, and what the black rose icon said to me, filled me with fear and made me decide to keep my promise."

"The first thing is to find an opportunity to completely unleash that mysterious machine!"

"..."

Han Su listened, slightly taken aback, then became somewhat excited: "Miss Ai?" "Yes!"

Mr. Xu nodded slowly: "It's the machine that your Disaster Management Bureau is currently using!"

"According to Dr. Han, we need to use every means possible to obtain the four keys to unlock this machine, and after collecting all four keys, we need to unlock all the locks on her at once!"

"We've actually been working on this all along. After all, even though we've been marked, it wouldn't be difficult for us to seize power once we're in Qinggang. The problem is, we've been somewhat afraid while collecting these four keys..."

"fear?"

Han Su didn't expect him to say that and didn't understand.

"Yes."

Mr. Xu spoke in a low voice: "Because once we have collected all four keys, we must keep our promise and completely liberate this machine. Therefore, we have also tried to investigate this machine, at least to get a basic understanding of it before liberating it."

"And this result is truly frightening..."

"Mr. Han, you've also joined the Disaster Management Bureau, so are you familiar with this machine?"

"..."

Han Su listened, slightly hesitant, realizing that he didn't really know Miss Ai very well.

But I have always trusted her completely, even relied on her.

"Her history may be longer than any of us imagine..."

Mr. Xu slowly opened his mouth and said, "Our history is only two thousand years old, but this machine may have spanned the entire radiation era, or even the earlier solar flare era."

"It has traversed countless distorted civilizations and interacted with various gods throughout history. Most importantly, we discovered that this machine has an extremely terrifying codename:"

"Angel of Destruction!"

"..."

Han Su listened, and his heart skipped a beat: "How could there be such a code name?"

Mr. Xu was also pondering for a long time before looking up at Han Su: "The events that happened in the Baila Mountain region are related to you, aren't they?"

Before Han Su could answer, he said directly, "So, do you now have the authority to communicate with history?"

Han Su did not answer directly.

The Gate of Reality and Illusion in the Baila Mountain region has been completed. Although this gate will only exist as a deterrent weapon and cannot be actually opened, its existence allows direct communication with the bronze civilization of history, which can indeed be considered as the right to communicate with history.

Mr. Xu said slowly, "You can try asking them a question: how exactly did they destroy themselves?"

"Now that you've asked this question, I think you understand our fears."

"..."

He sighed softly and said to Han Su, "We have, to some extent, control over the four keys to unlock that machine, and we can get them at any time."

"This time, we chose to let Secretary No. 5 betray us because we knew he would fail, and we needed to take this opportunity to take back the authority he had and piece together the four keys."

"But having four keys, the most important question is whether we should really unleash this machine."

“I think that after communicating with history, you can also participate in our discussion.”

"..."

Han Su nodded slowly, not wasting any time, and got up to make a phone call to An Wei, asking her to arrange for someone to inquire.

Then he returned and asked, "What about the other things?"

"The second thing is what the doctor was most concerned about, and it's also what that strange creature specifically tested when it came back this time."

Mr. Xu said in a low voice, "He wants us to extract the emperor's blood!"

Han Su was greatly surprised: "The Emperor's blood?"

"Yes!"

Mr. Xu said in a low voice, "We will collect as many tagged samples of the emperor's bloodline as possible, and use the techniques and formulas he left us to extract a special substance from these bloods. We call it 'atavistic substance'."

"According to that doctor, if the divine descent plan fails, then these substances will be the most crucial key for us to forever break the family curse, and may even contain the emperor's divine power."

"..."

Han Su couldn't help but suddenly look up: "Then you..."

“We did do it.”

Xu Ji's father nodded slowly: "Moreover, we have already succeeded."

"Over the past decade, I have established several underground factories in different regions and collected countless blood samples. I have successfully extracted the substance he mentioned. To date, 33 grams of this substance have been extracted..."

"..."

Where is this thing?

Even though Han Su didn't know the purpose of this thing, he vaguely realized its importance.

"This substance is highly reactive, so it cannot be preserved in conventional forms."

Mr. Xu slowly said, "Only by storing it in human form can we ensure its activity remains normal without affecting reality..."

Han Su's heart skipped a beat as he glanced at the face of that fool.

Mr. Xu knew he had guessed, and slowly nodded, his eyes looking somewhat tired.

It's really him...

It turns out that among the group of friends who came out of the castle, even the only ordinary person couldn't escape the effects of these events. It turns out that the carefree fool had actually become a container for that strange substance without even realizing it.

Does this mean that Wei Lan's successful advancement in Light Machine City was truly related to him? Is he still considered an ordinary person now?

He gently rubbed his face, trying to keep his tone calm: "So, what's the third thing?"

"The third thing is the simplest, but also the most impactful."

Mr. Xu also sighed slowly and said in a low voice, "He wants us to promise that when the true imperial lineage appears in reality, we will obey him unconditionally and cooperate with him until the curse on the imperial bloodline is completely lifted!"

"The true imperial hierarchy?"

Han Su slowly repeated these words, already guessing what they meant.

Within the castle, there has always been a portion of the emperor's power waiting to be taken over.

So, in reality, the castle had already laid out a plan?

"Ding-a-ling..."

In the midst of this long silence, the phone suddenly rang. Han Su glanced at Mr. Xu, got up, and answered the phone. On the other end, An Wei's voice came through:
“I have already used the Somchai ritual to ask you the question you just mentioned, and the result was unexpected. The answer on the other end was very simple, even seemed to carry fear, or perhaps it was a warning to future generations!”

"They say it's the mother of machines!"

"The Mother of Machines has betrayed the Copper Civilization. If the Copper Civilization is destroyed, it will surely be destroyed by the Mother of Machines!"

"They also said that she destroyed all civilizations..."

"She is... the Angel of Destruction!"
