I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Liu Mengxian did not participate in this turmoil, but they still suffered heavy losses and were completely defeated.

They were defeated by humans, whom they had always disregarded and regarded as ants.

Some died, some were wounded. Aurora, Sky Dome, and Night Ghost fell one after another. The bone hunters' bone blades were broken, and they fled in panic like stray dogs. Tyrant was wounded in many places, and even their lair in Tibet was wiped out.

Their wrists were completely broken in this battle.

All of this was accomplished with Liu Mengxian's tacit approval. She didn't pursue anything they did in that one day, and she even tacitly approved their attack on Yan Ziming.

This is a game of chess.

The players, Sequence Level and Liu Mengxian, are engaged in a battle on a chessboard.

Why did the mirage dragon only see one sword before returning?

Because it knew this, the moment the Qilin completed its transformation, it was already out of the game; its piece had been captured and it had no chance to continue moving on the chessboard.

Meanwhile, the winner from Tibet Province, Yan Zimo, can continue his activities on the other half of the chessboard. One move decides the outcome and determines the fate of the game.

That's how the whole thing came about.

As the saying goes, peace is not something that can be achieved through negotiation, but through fighting.

Let them run wild, and after they suffer setbacks, their rebellious spirit will subside. Today's fear will accompany them for at least a few more years, and the world will have a few more years of peace.

The entire world's situation for the next few years was determined by this game of chess.

"So you've thought that far ahead...?"

Yan Ziming murmured to herself, never expecting that such a shocking plan would be laid out amidst the fierce battle!

Everyone, all sequence levels, and even all mutated species are in this game; a single move has determined the entire world's situation!

What courage! What ruthless methods!

This is... the greatest person of our time...

"I was just observing the whole picture," Liu Mengxian said dismissively. "From beginning to end, it was all your hard work, and these achievements are all your own."

"Moreover, I also learned a lesson from it."

"What's the point?"

"Even if there is no invincible Soul Heaven in this world, humanity can still pass on the torch of civilization from generation to generation with this wisdom."

"Ah...uh..."

Yan Zimo was speechless.

Is this what Xian'er saw?

What did I see again?

[Sadness? Or rage at one's own powerlessness?]

I don't think so. I saw more than that, more than I wanted to understand.

Yan Ziming fell into deep thought, the beauty in his arms lying there quietly, as if time had frozen at this moment.

After a while, Yan Ziming's expression turned strange, and he asked with a somewhat intriguing smile:

"If I were really in danger at that time, would you have helped me?"

“I told you before…” Liu Mengxian looked directly at her, her eyes carrying a hint of mockery.

"I...have always been here."

135. Aftermath

"If I had encountered a fatal danger when I broke through, would you have intervened?"

Yan Ziming was just saying it as a joke, but deep down she was hoping for a response that would make her happy.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Mengxian smiled playfully and stared at her intently, her ethereal eyes seeming to speak volumes.

“I’ve told you before, I’ve always been here.”

I've always been here...

Yan Ziming was slightly taken aback. Recalling that night a few years ago, he immediately understood what it meant.

She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Did that mean that Liu Mengxian had been watching her from the shadows ever since she broke through?

For a moment, Yan Ziming felt as if he had been plunged into an ocean of cotton.

It's overflowing with happiness...

"Thank you... ah!" Only after saying it did Yan Ziming realize that she had made a mistake. She really didn't mean to!

"Let's leave that for later. There are still quite a few people who want to meet you."

Liu Mengxian smiled and got up from her embrace. With a wave of her hand, the door at the end of the corridor opened, revealing a group of people standing outside. They seemed to have just arrived and didn't understand why the door had suddenly opened.

Jiang Lan, Xiao Qi, Yuan Yuan, Zhi Ruo, You Lan, Tian Tian...

Like a flower field, all kinds of flowers are showing off their beauty in a variety of ways.

"Zimo!"

"Master Mo, I've come to see you! Hehe~ I've already reached level eight!"

"Sister Zimo..."

"Senior Zimo, we heard you've finally returned, so we've come to see you."

They spotted Yan Ziming in the living room at a glance and rushed over to offer their long-awaited greetings.

"Everyone... I've missed you all so much!"

Yan Ziming was so moved she almost burst into tears... Of course, that was impossible, but her smile just wouldn't stop.

Yes, there are so many people in my world who deserve my attention. What have I seen?

"But please forgive me for not being able to go out and celebrate with you, after all, my uncle... well." Yan Ziming said with a hint of guilt.

The mention of Yanshan dampened the festive mood somewhat, but Xiaoqi quickly livened things up: "Let's have a long-awaited chat. I want to hear about Sister Zimo's experiences over the years!"

"Well—as for experience, I only stood there for a few years."

The cheerful laughter of the girls filled this ordinary little room...

..............

Sichuan Military Administrative Region.

Inside a top-secret laboratory.

"How does it feel?"

Huang Tao handed Luo Li a cup of coffee, which Luo Li rolled her eyes at as she took it: "Bringing me coffee in the middle of the night, looks like you don't intend to let me rest!"

"Haha, these are extraordinary times, so don't worry about it. We'll just give you a few more days off later."

With his intentions exposed, Huang Tao merely gave an awkward laugh, then his expression turned serious as he asked, "So, what's the situation?"

"To be honest, we didn't find many clues."

Luo Li looked at the young man in the intensive care unit in front of her with a headache, and scratched her hair in frustration.

What was before her? Was it a mountain? Or a continuous mountain range?

In short, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

—Yanshan.

His eyes were tightly closed, as immovable as an ancient rock. No matter what the researchers did, they could not open his eyelids, which completely defied common sense.

"Why not tell her? If you tell her, she might have more ideas."

Luo Li glanced at Huang Tao, who, after careful consideration, shook his head. "Let's wait until we discover something before we talk about it, if there's an opportunity..."

He also had his reasons.

If we give her hope, wouldn't it be too cruel to tell her an even more hopeless outcome?

"Ah, the data is out, let me see..."

Luo Li took a newly released set of data, pretended to put on his glasses, and examined it for a while, making "Oh~~" sounds along the way.

Huang Tao quickly asked, "What did you find?"

“There’s a very strange energy inside him…” Luo Li said calmly, while Huang Tao was getting increasingly anxious.

"What kind of energy is it?"

"Hmm... how should I put it? It's something like... suppression, something similar to the impression the marshal usually gives off?"

"Suppression?"

“That’s right, his spirit and energy were suppressed by this power, including another fluctuation, which I find disgusting.”

Luo Li's disgust was also evident on her face; her special ability naturally repelled this kind of thing.

Huang Tao stroked his chin and guessed, "It must be a byproduct of the mutation... So, is there still hope for Lao Shan?"

"Hmm...who knows."
