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

Lin Fan was relieved, and at the same time, a sense of pride welled up in his heart.

Even the Sea Queen's full-force attack could not break the triangular crystal cone. The power of this treasure alone was enough to allow ordinary martial artists or superhumans to dominate the entire Human Alliance.

And this treasure belongs to him!

What else could this be but divine favor?

The sea creatures immediately rushed to Eudora's side.

Danier looked Yudora up and down anxiously: "Your Majesty, are you alright?! Or should we return to the Sea Clan for now?"

She said softly, "It's really not a good place for us to stay right now."

Eudora remained staring blankly at the triangular crystal cone, showing absolutely no reaction to Danier's words.

However, the next moment Eudora's gaze changed, becoming shocked, bewildered, and finally filled with deep confusion.

"why?"

"Yudora asked, her eyes fixed on the man inside the triangular crystal cone."

Diane and the others looked at their Empress with confusion.

The other powerful figures also sensed that something was amiss. She was asking Gu Ran inside the triangular crystal cone.

The powerful figures present couldn't help but turn their gazes over.

Her tears, which had already dried up, flowed back down her cheeks. Eudora bit her lip, her expression sorrowful.

She had thought that by risking her life, she could save Gu Ran and make up for the mistakes she had made.

But when she stood in front of the triangular crystal cone, trying to rescue him, she found that she still couldn't do it.

Her all-out attack was completely ineffective against the triangular crystal cone, and at the same time she heard a voice say, "Stop."

She thought she had misheard, but she clearly remembered that it was Gu Ran's voice.

Stop it.

stop?

Eudora was completely unable to understand or accept it.

In a triangular crystal pyramid.

Gu Ran sighed.

It was indeed he who spoke up and told Eudora to stop.

At this point, he realized that he had definitely fallen into a trap.

This setup targeting him was orchestrated by some unknown being of an unknown level. Perhaps it was the powerful figure who ensured that spatial ability users always remembered the saying "spatial ability users are coordinates," or perhaps the powerful being who built the merfolk ruins...

It could also be some other powerful being he doesn't know about right now; in any case, it all points to a scheme.

A plan targeting him.

Otherwise, why would he seal away his memories?

The idea of ​​sealing his memories in some way and then slowly recovering them was probably inspired by his sister Gu Qingqing and Xiao Hailuo.

What puzzled Gu Ran the most was the triangular crystal cone. What was its relationship with the triangular crystal cone in the Mermaid Ruins? And what was its relationship with the triangular crystal cone in the Sea Eye Ruins?

Gu Ran has no way of knowing any of this for the time being.

"I need this triangular crystal cone to regain my memories, but it was Lin Fan who brought it... Is this a coincidence, or... some kind of destiny?"

Gu Ran couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He recalled how, when he was "editing the plot," he felt several times that a "hand of fate" was influencing the trajectory of his destiny.

He initially thought this was a normal phenomenon that would occur when he was "editing the plot," but now he knows that "editing the plot" is fake, and helping him regain his memories is the real purpose.

Could this feeling be some kind of instinctive warning signal from him?

A torrent of thoughts surged through Gu Ran's mind, plunging him into a state of confusion and insecurity.

However, he knew that if he wanted to continue to explore the truth, he would have to recover more of his memories, which is why he managed to utter the words "Stop."

If Eudora and the others really manage to rescue him, he doesn't know if his memory recovery will be interrupted or fail as a result.

It's good to stop now that the rescue has failed.

However, Eudora couldn't understand Gu Ran's words, "Stop."

At this point, Gu Ran was unable to utter a second word.

Eudora stumbled back two steps, her expression filled with pain, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her face radiating a poignant beauty.

Is he blaming me?

"That's right. You are clearly the powerful and shrewd chief administrator of the Human Alliance, but you seemed completely unprepared for this surprise attack, and didn't even put up a fight. So... you did it on purpose?"

"You deliberately fell into this triangular crystal cone, and then you made me stop and not save you anymore."

"Gu Ran, you must be blaming me, blaming me for how I treated you back then..."

"Otherwise, why would you refuse my help and insist on dying?"

Everyone was shocked by Eudora's words.

what?

Gu Ran was actually seeking death? He refused the Sea Queen's rescue?

But after a moment's thought, everyone was horrified to realize that it had indeed been far too easy for them to break in.

Judging from the mindset Gu Ran displayed on the screen, he is definitely not the kind of arrogant and conceited person who would just give up and wait for death. On the contrary, even when facing a desperate situation, he still tries his best and never gives up.

However, this time, facing the allied forces' attack, Gu Ran was sucked into the triangular crystal cone without any resistance. They originally thought that Lin Fan's treasure was too magical, so Gu Ran couldn't resist it at all.

But now they couldn't help but overturn this assumption from the bottom of their hearts.

Perhaps... Gu Ran really is seeking death?

This thought arose involuntarily in the minds of everyone present.

Gu Qingqing cried in despair, kneeling on the ground: "Brother must be blaming me. When he saw his sister, for whom he had given everything, in the coalition forces that were attacking him, he must have been utterly disappointed and heartbroken."

110. The terrified crowd, the triangular crystal cone, and Gu Ran's past (4k)

The other powerful figures in the allied forces also felt a sense of unease.

If all of this was deliberately designed by Gu Ran, and it was all part of his scheme, then did Gu Ran have some backup plan?

Are they all caught in Gu Ran's trap? Is Gu Ran, who seems to be on the verge of death, about to break free and slaughter the allied forces?

Recalling Gu Ran's past fearsome reputation, the powerful figures present grew increasingly terrified.

"I... I don't think so. Maybe Gu Ran really felt hopeless about turning the tables, and then he was betrayed by his closest... loved ones, so he became disheartened and decided to die?"

A powerful figure said in a low voice.

If this is indeed Gu Ran's scheme, then it's terrifying. In the end, it might not just be these people who die. Gu Ran, that tyrant, is capable of implicating his entire family. Their relatives, disciples, and friends might all be killed by Gu Ran after the fact.

It's not that they're bragging, but at least a third of the top experts of the Human Alliance have gathered here, and there are even more people connected to them, almost all over the nineteen main cities of the Human Alliance.

If Gu Ran were to turn the tables, reclaim his power, and begin to eliminate the "traitors," then it would truly be a bloodbath.

Therefore, they were willing to believe that Gu Ran was truly heartbroken and wanted to die. Although they would feel a little sympathy for Gu Ran, they could only be at ease if Gu Ran completely perished.

"No, that's impossible. He wouldn't be that kind of person."

One voice resolutely refuted that wishful thinking.

Cheng Youmeng did not press her advantage against Gu Qingqing. Instead, she stopped attacking after seeing Gu Qingqing's distraught state. At the same time, she stood beside her, guarding against Gu Qingqing's sudden resurgence and also guarding against other powerful individuals attacking the disheartened Gu Qingqing.

However, after hearing the other powerful figures' self-deceptive speculations, Cheng Youmeng quickly refuted them, shattering everyone's illusions.

Having spent so many years with Gu Ran, she has an unparalleled understanding of his personality.

“Gu Ran is definitely not the kind of person who would give up or become disheartened. Even if he is in dire straits, even if everyone in the world betrays him, he will never become disheartened and will never give up any opportunity,” Cheng Youmeng said firmly.

Although the Gu Ran she knew had two phases and two faces, both Gu Ran she knew were people of strong will who would never do anything so despondent as to seek death.

In fact, everyone had considered the possibility that Cheng Youmeng might be behind it, but the fact shocked them, and they subconsciously didn't want to think about it.

However, Cheng Youmeng coldly and ruthlessly shattered their illusions, forcing them to consider the worst possible outcome.

"Could it be that Gu Ran really has a backup plan?!"

"What's Gu Ran's backup plan?!"

Immediately, the powerful figures present exchanged wary glances, and then scanned their surroundings.

They simply didn't notice anything unusual or dangerous.

If we're talking about backup plans, then Gu Qingqing and the Sea Clan Queen's betrayal seems more like Gu Ran's backup plan.

The reason Gu Qingqing and the Sea Queen betrayed them was because they viewed Gu Ran's past memories. The reason Gu Ran's past memories were revealed was because of this triangular crystal cone. The reason this triangular crystal cone trapped Gu Ran was because of Lin Fan. And the reason Lin Fan and the allied forces came to attack Gu Ran was because Gu Ran had committed numerous evils, causing widespread resentment...

There are too many coincidences in this process. For example, even if Gu Qingqing and the Sea Queen really saw Gu Ran's past, would they definitely turn against him? For example, no one would know that this triangular crystal cone would reveal the past memories of the trapped person, not even Lin Fan, the owner of the triangular crystal cone, knew beforehand; for example, it was not easy for the coalition to be successfully formed. As the initiator, Lin Fan also put in a lot of effort and traveled between various forces and figures.

A single accidental factor could easily cause things to go in a different direction, and the current outcome is the result of countless accidental factors.

It's impossible that Gu Ran had anticipated every step of the process and made targeted arrangements, right?

The powerful figures present naturally wouldn't believe such a ridiculous conjecture. After all, if someone could really calculate so many steps, they wouldn't be human; humans have limits.
