What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

When inspiration data improves, you will see through the surface of things and see the truth hidden by chaos.

When Ye Wen's inspiration level was only 20, what he saw were countless afterimages of painful wails, screaming and tearing at their own bodies, trying to assimilate him and drag him into hell.

When Ye Wen's inspiration soared to 10240, what he saw were humble, submissive phantoms of the past, looking at him with broken, expectant eyes.

"Please, please save her."

"Break the curse of this century-old tragedy."

"Don't let the tragedy continue."

They said this, they prayed this.

Longing to be saved.

Longing for liberation.

Ye Wen took a deep breath, the foul and sweet-smelling smell burning his lungs.

His inspiration began to wane.

10240, 10213, 10082, 9993... It's decreasing every minute and every second.

This is normal. After all, this number was not obtained through normal means. It was just that when Li Li returned a part of his life to him, this matter, which was not tolerated by the world, instantly and passively enhanced Ye Wen's inspiration.

When things calm down, things naturally return to normal.

But at least for now, he still has some time to do what he wants.

Ye Wen looked at Li Li.

Or rather, he looked up at the top of her head.

[Female main angle]

Unlike Lin You's white, Shen Xuqiu's blue, Fei Hezeng's gold, and Bai Qianyue's red.

The female protagonist in Li Li's story is dressed in black.

As black as ink.

Ye Wen didn't know what this meant, nor did he know what Li Li meant to him, and he didn't know what he should say to her.

But wouldn't it be a waste to leave without saying anything?

Therefore, in this difficult situation, Ye Wen solemnly made a promise to her.

"One day, I will truly find you, and then..."

"To kill you (or save you)."

"I will definitely kill you."

"must."

This was probably the most serious promise Ye Wen had ever made in his life.

Li Li's reaction was incredibly simple; a simple, pure smile, like that of an ordinary young girl, appeared on her inhuman, eerie face.

Even her overly pale cheeks showed a hint of blush.

She opened her arms to Ye Wen from a distance, as if she were embracing him.

she says:

"Then you have to keep it up!"

"I'll be waiting for you."

"I'll always be waiting for you."

Then, Li Li's figure gradually disappeared from Ye Wen's sight, as if she had been rejected by the world.

The rate at which inspiration is waning is accelerating.

Non-existent memories begin to increase.

Ye Wen knew he needed to speed things up.

So he looked up and calmly gazed at the afterimages that were calling out to him for help.

"Come on, look at me, all of you come and look at me."

"You can understand what I'm saying, right?"

A bright red chrysanthemum was released in Ye Wen's pupils. This was an ability created by Bai Qian Yue's influence, so its shape and properties were different from normal chrysanthemums.

Even inside Riju's body, Ye Wen's [Transcendent Vision] can still be used.

After looking around and confirming that all the afterimages were looking at him, Ye Wen said solemnly, "I know your sorrow and understand your pain."

"I acknowledge your desire to sever the Japanese chrysanthemum."

"but!"

Ye Wen extended his hand.

"Why are you just watching?"

"Why are you just crying?"

"Why not go...?"

"To personally extinguish this century-old curse?"

"I know," Ye Wen said calmly. "You don't have that ability. You've tried countless times in your lives, and all of them have ended in failure."

"But it's okay!"

Ye Wen shouted with all his might, "Now, I'm here!"

"[Female Lead] The Strictest Father, Here I Come."

"Give me what little soul, consciousness, desire, dream, and persistence you have left. Give me everything you have left at this moment."

Ye Wen spread his five fingers, extending a sincere invitation.

"I've come to lead you in revenge!"

"I need your strength!"

In an instant, darkness and deathly silence descended.

The yearning, the expectant voices vanished, and the afterimages looked at each other, filled with astonishment and blankness.

But soon, that dazed feeling turned into a thick, frenzied joy.

In that instant, the phantoms of the dead overlapped, and intertwined ideals wove together into a thread. Together, with determination and high spirits, they rushed towards Ye Wen.

This was an unprecedented chaos and order in Riju. They transformed into light, no longer distorted light, and climbed upwards until they finally grasped Ye Wen's hand.

Here.

The contract is reached.

Naturally, they entrusted everything to Ye Wen.

Inspiration is still plummeting.

But his spirits began to soar.

15, 25, 35, 55, 65...

It eventually stopped at the number 80.

It wasn't much, but it was enough.

Feeling the countless souls connected to him, Ye Wen revealed an evil yet alluring smile.

"You did a great job."

"I have fully felt your everything, so, in turn, I will give you my all at this moment."

Ye Wen stepped forward.

His pupils turned bright red, and scalding blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, while the crimson petals in his pupils became even more alluring.

"Beyond Limits of Vision, Liberation of the Masses".

"open!"

Amidst overlapping shouts of anger, Ye Wen generously bestowed his power upon every soul connected to him. Thus, the crimson chrysanthemums infected the golden chrysanthemums, and countless pairs of crimson eyes opened on the enormous body of the chrysanthemum.

They glared at the source of the curse, and then inflicted a blood judgment upon it called rebellion.

Japanese Chrysanthemum: "!"

He felt rejected.

A denial that spreads from the depths of the soul.

The souls granted superhuman vision broke free from His constraints and became independent crimson chrysanthemums. The nutrients and power accumulated over the past century became weapons to attack Him.

An unprecedented emotion spread like weeds from the roots of the Japanese chrysanthemum.

The name of that emotion.

It's called fear.

The chrysanthemums began to wither.

He wriggled, trying to resist and escape, but the afterimages of the past did more than just destroy.

They are still paving the way for Ye Wen.

The tangled and twisted roots and branches were forcibly cleared, and a path appeared before Ye Wen. This was a path that countless people like Shen Caichun and Shen Xuqiu had opened up for him, and the end of the path...

A trembling, writhing heart hangs in mid-air.

Above the heart, a label labeled "Heroine" floats.

The color is a blue that is almost purple.

"Hey, I found you."

"My dear heroine."

Ye Wen revealed a deranged smile. He strode forward, faster and faster, further and further away, until he stood before the heart.

"Are you ready for an unprecedented romantic date with me?"

"Believe me, this will absolutely be the most unforgettable experience of your life... uh, the most unforgettable experience of your life."

"Friendly reminder: You do not have the option to refuse."

At his heart, in front of the female protagonist, Ye Wen held his dagger high.

At the same time, countless fine branches surged up and piled up on the hilt of the dagger. They were not stopping Ye Wen, but joining him in taking revenge on the female protagonist.

They were helping Ye Wen raise the knife higher, so that when he stabbed, it would be more powerful and more satisfying.

"Alright everyone, are you ready?"

Ye Wen began the countdown.

"One, two..."

"Haha, just kidding, there's no three at all!"

And so, amidst the mocking laughter, the dagger, raised by countless afterimages, pierced straight into the heart, striking the very core of this chrysanthemum.

That is, the female protagonist herself.

Click...

Under the gaze of countless crimson eyes, his heart suddenly ruptured.

Along with the blue-clad female lead.

That's it.

The kill (or rescue) was accomplished.
