The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

However, there was another thing that puzzled her: why was "herself" so badly injured?

And how is "the older sister" doing?

The scene on the screen continues.

The reason why Cheng Youmeng was seriously injured was still not shown. Instead, the scene of "Gu Ran" holding a wedding for himself and "Cheng Youmeng" was shown.

However, another factor caught Cheng Youmeng's attention: she saw "the older sister" again.

She was very eager to know what would happen to her sister next.

The screen displayed a wedding that appeared both grand and simple.

Grand is because of its very high standards and luxurious setup.

It was simple because there were only a dozen or so participants.

"Gu Ran..."

Cheng Caimeng hesitated for a moment when she looked at Gu Ran, but in the end she didn't say what was on her mind.

Gu Ran seemed to know what she was going to say, and instead of turning to look at her, he continued to look at the "bride" lying in the crystal coffin.

"Don't worry, I'm in good condition. I just want to fulfill her wish."

Yes, Gu Ran's gaze was clear and calm, as if he were doing something ordinary, as if he had no anger in his heart.

But Cheng Caimeng looked at him with even more worry in her eyes.

"Although Vermilion Bird City did not agree to form an alliance with us, Leng Feng agreed to provide us with some spatial items. At the same time, Phoenix Flame University will open up some of their exclusive secret research and share the results with us. As for the other four main cities, our envoys reported that they have no intention of joining any party."

"But do we really want to go to war with the Twelve Cities Alliance now? We haven't had enough time to prepare, and there's some chaos inside Canglong City. Even within Lanxin University, there are some people who disagree with this war."

Gu Ran's voice sounded very calm: "That's enough. We were unprepared, and they were equally unprepared. Besides, I never expected those people in Canglong City to play any significant role."

"All that Azure Dragon City needs is the ability to receive the fruits of victory in the war. There is no need to make any other preparations. As for those restless people within Azure Dragon City, if they remain so after the war, I will make them settle down forever and completely."

With a sigh, Gu Ran continued, this time with a hint of self-reproach in his voice.

“Cai Meng, I have failed you sisters. I originally intended to proceed gradually and slowly to promote the integration of the eighteen main cities, so that the Human Alliance could play a role again without being too bloody.”

"For this reason, I have tolerated their underhanded tactics, believing that I can still suppress them, have time to reform them, or eliminate their influence. But I never expected them to turn on me like cornered dogs, uniting against me, and doing so while I was away..."

"If I hadn't been so tolerant of them, if I had been ruthless enough to eliminate them completely sooner, then Youmeng wouldn't have... This time, I will not show them any more leniency."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Ran's eyes.

"I will not make the same mistake twice. No matter who the enemy is, I am determined to completely eliminate their threat!"

Cheng Caimeng was silent for a while: "You always think about others. I really hope you can think about yourself more. I... and Youmeng don't want to be a burden to you."

Gu Ran smiled wryly: "What do you mean by 'burden'? You Meng probably thinks like you too, which is why she's so fierce. The moment she senses she might become a bargaining chip for the other side to threaten me, she recklessly uses her secret technique..."

"Actually, I actually hope she becomes a burden to me, that way she won't die... I'll still have a chance to save her. So I hope you stop having that thought. Even if you're taken hostage, I will definitely succeed in rescuing you!"

Cheng Caimeng remained silent and did not respond to Gu Ran's expectations.

But sometimes, silence itself is an answer.

“Okay, I knew it.” Gu Ran shook his head slightly. “So, I can only try my best to nip all threats in the bud.”

Then, the wedding began.

Because the bride was quite special, there was no question-and-answer session or the usual bride-groom interaction during the entire process.

There was no master of ceremonies to officiate the wedding; it was like a silent film, with all the procedures pre-arranged.

Among the "relatives and friends" attending the wedding, only a few knew both "Gu Ran" and "Cheng Youmeng".

For example, "Xuexi Ling".

There is also the "Snow-Welcoming Pine".

When Gu Ran discovered that "Xue Yingsong" was still alive, he was somewhat taken aback.

However, he immediately thought of a possible reason.

That is, Xue Xiling's physical problems may not have erupted in this "bubble world", or Xue Yingsong herself may not have thought of the "saving the world" method yet, so she did not embark on the path of destroying Canglong City.

Then naturally, "he" did not fight "Xue Yingsong" and did not kill "Xue Yingsong".

Therefore, "he" in this "bubble world" should be the true successor of "Xue Yingsong".

Xue Xiling looked at her "father" on the screen, her eyes filled with longing.

If it weren't for her, my father wouldn't have gone to such extremes.

The wedding proceeded quickly on the screen.

Basically, they followed the procedure until they were announced as husband and wife.

There were no cheers or smiles at the scene.

Everyone just silently watched that figure from behind.

He stood beside the crystal coffin, looking at his bride, and softly said:

"Youmeng, we are already married and officially husband and wife."

A smile appeared on Gu Ran's face, as if he were facing a sleeping "wife" who could be awakened with a gentle call.

Cheng Youmeng felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart as she looked at Gu Ran's smile.

She took a deep breath and kept telling herself that this was fake, that this was fake, and that she must not get too caught up in the act.

The reality is completely different!

Believing in falsehoods is a betrayal of the truth, and also a betrayal of real people.

She would not betray her sister.

The scene that followed was blood-red.

Gu Ran kept his word and carried out the cleanup of a main city all by himself.

All forces that opposed him were disbanded by him, and all the main leaders were killed. As for ordinary members, all those who participated in the last attack on the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall were killed.

If he participated in the last attack on the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall, then it must be related to the death of "Cheng Youmeng".

Both publicly and privately, "Gu Ran" will absolutely not let them off the hook.

The people outside the screen were not surprised that "Gu Ran" was able to sweep through other main cities all by himself.

Because they had already seen it before.

Gu Ran is a monster; his strength has surpassed that of all other human powerhouses.

Although this is a "bubble world," they all understand why "Gu Ran" is so powerful.

They now have a pretty good understanding: although the "bubble world" is not the real world, but another world different from their own, there are people similar to them in it.

Therefore, it's not hard to accept that both worlds' "Gu Ran" possess extraordinary strength.

Gu Ran watched thoughtfully as "himself" cleansed the alliance of the twelve main cities.

Although we live in different worlds and have different experiences, there are some striking similarities.

So what exactly is the reason behind all of this?

And he always kept one question in mind.

—All of this was shown to him by the "Lord of the Abyss," but what was His purpose?

Does He think these scenarios will be detrimental to me?

The subsequent scene changes much faster than before, mostly depicting Gu Ran's handling of the Twelve Main City Alliance.

Politics cannot be done well simply by having force.

Force is a guarantee, but if we get used to using force to solve problems, we will lose sight of the real opponents.

Those genuine opposition members, intimidated by force, will certainly feign submission on the surface.

However, once he begins to implement some policies, these hidden opposition figures will begin to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them, ignoring his executive orders.

This was a difficult problem, and his solution was to use secret agents to monitor them, but at the same time, he pretended to be relaxed, allowing the opponents to coordinate.

Once most of these opponents had come forward to plot, his spies gathered their information and handed him the list of participants.

For him, verifying the accuracy of the list was not difficult, and no one would dare to deceive him on such a matter.

After obtaining the list, Gu Ran was not in a hurry. Instead, he left them alone and waited for more opponents to emerge.

Of course, close surveillance by secret agents is indispensable.

He will not repeat the same mistakes he made before.

"time is limited."

Gu Ran stood on the base of the city's defensive cannon in Canglong City, which was the highest point in the city.

He gazed at the sky and murmured to himself.

Then the scene continues to change.

Those in the Twelve Main Cities Alliance who were plotting against Gu Ran were horrified to discover that Gu Ran seemed to have taken notice of them.

Because members of their families were repeatedly killed when "Gu Ran's" army broke into their homes.
