I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

“They have long been bound by a curse. If they reveal any information about the Huang Clan, their souls will be scattered,” Zhu Xinlan replied calmly.

"Tsk tsk! This is really troublesome!" Wan Feng frowned.

"But it doesn't really matter. At least we've confirmed one thing: the Huang Clan is indeed doing something we don't know about, and it's definitely related to the Desolate Region. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so ruthless to their own people," Zhu Xinlan analyzed.

Of course, her analysis wasn't wrong, because so far this is the only answer that can explain the Huang clan's anomalies.

"So what should we do next? Now that we know they might have other plans, we can't just stay in the wasteland and do nothing, can we?" Wan Feng said, his gaze fixed on Huang Quan.

Clearly, Huang Quan, as the leader of the True Profound Alliance, needs to give them direction. After all, given the current environment, he absolutely cannot just be a symbol.

Huang Quan remained silent for a while before saying, "The affairs of the Huang Clan are naturally not to be taken lightly, but this matter is sudden, and I can't think of a good way to deal with it for the time being. At most, I can only tell everyone to continue to be vigilant and guard against any unexpected events."

Upon hearing this, Jue Yi and the other two, who were practically the strongest fighters on the True Profound Continent, had no objections, because even if the question were posed to them, they wouldn't be able to give an immediate answer.

"You flatter me, Alliance Leader," Wan Feng replied.

In short, after this period of discussion, the three left. After all, Huang Quan had just woken up and needed to recuperate, so soon, only Huang Quan was left in the room.

He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. His gaze flickered, but slowly, he frowned, as if deep in thought. It wasn't until about fifteen minutes later that he closed his eyes again.

But this time, he closed his eyes not to rest, but to connect directly with the Tree of Time using his mind.

Meanwhile, the Tree of Time on the icy plains also sensed the sudden arrival of the Yellow Springs, which puzzled him: "What's wrong?"

"I have a question for you," Huang Quan said calmly.

"What's the problem?"

"Where did you seal that person...?"

"I don't know," the Tree of Time replied.

"You don't know? How could you not know?" Huang Quan said, somewhat incredulously.

"Of course, when he was sealed, he also put up a final resistance. You know that my memories were given to me by him, so he took advantage of this and erased a part of my memories. And in those erased memories, there just happened to be the place where the seal was placed." The Tree of Time seemed to say helplessly.

"Does this mean there isn't a single clue?" Huang Quan asked.

"Of course," the Tree of Time said matter-of-factly.

Huang Quan's tone brightened, and he immediately asked again, "What clue?"

"To be honest, it doesn't matter if we don't know where he was sealed, because what I sealed back then was actually just his physical body," the Tree of Time said.

"Physical body?" Huang Quan asked in surprise.

“That’s right!” the Tree of Time replied, “He is an emperor through and through! Do you think he’s so easy to seal away?”

"What exactly happened? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"You didn't ask me before!" the Tree of Time said innocently.

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Alright! It was my fault, it's all my fault."

"Yes, yes, it's good that you know you were wrong," the Tree of Time replied without any embarrassment.

In fact, Huang Quan didn't know what was going on. It might be a hidden attribute of the Tree of Time. In any case, after getting to know the tree, it became more and more silly, losing all of its previous seriousness and dignity.

For example, the chess incident last time, and this inexplicable conversation this time, have both revealed his true character.

Fortunately, Huang Quan, who had long regarded him as a lonely old man, did not mind. Because when a lonely old man stays in one place for a long time, he will choose to use some incomprehensible ways to attract the attention of others. The purpose of doing so is to cover up the loneliness in his heart.

It is undeniable that the elderly are lonely.

Of course, this conversation couldn't last long, and soon they began a formal discussion.

According to the Tree of Time, in order to have a chance to break the seal in the future, at the last moment, that person resolutely chose to separate his memories, soul, cultivation, and physical body, turning them into four clones and casting them into the cycle of reincarnation in the True Profound Continent.

These four clones have now gone through countless reincarnations and are no different from the people of the True Profound Continent. If no accident occurs, they will likely continue to reincarnate in this way forever.

"To be honest with you, besides trying to see if I could save the True Profound Continent in the event of the universe's destruction, my greater purpose in using the Cycle of Cause and Effect is to prevent those four clones from awakening," the Tree of Time said.

"You mean that now that you're no longer in the cycle of time, those four clones might have already awakened?" Huang Quan guessed.

“I don’t know, but I have a very strong feeling that at least one of these four clones was awakened a long, long time ago,” the Tree of Time said.

"How do you know?" Huang Quan asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, there's no such thing as seeing or not seeing, I already said it's all about feeling," the Tree of Time laughed.

"Okay! What can I do?" Huang Quan asked again.

“You can find them, kill one of them, and imprison his soul. That way, that person can never be resurrected. Although it's cruel, for the sake of the True Profound Continent, it might be the only way…”

"However, I don't know what those four clones went through in these countless reincarnations, or who they became, so if you want to find them, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"This is a bit troublesome," Huang Quan said, frowning.

“It is indeed a bit troublesome, but you can choose not to go to them, because even if they know about their past life, they may not necessarily go to save that person,” said the Tree of Time, his tone seemingly carrying a different meaning.

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan's eyes lit up, as if he had somewhat understood the meaning of the Tree of Time.

"indeed……"

When a person enters the cycle of reincarnation and awakens in the womb, they are a completely new person with a completely new consciousness.

This is the power of reincarnation, and also the unchangeable rule of reincarnation.

If that person were to be resurrected, these four clones would have to erase their own consciousness and merge into that body. But in doing so, the four would completely disappear, which would be a different kind of total death.

So, who would do that?

But whoever does it, it is a huge hidden danger.

Huang Quan understood this, and so did the Tree of Time. Therefore, in that instant, Huang Quan had already decided that he would go and find the whereabouts of those four clones.

After regaining consciousness, Huang Quan opened his eyes again and saw the ceiling as always.

In fact, ever since Jueyi started talking about the strangeness of the Huang Clan, he had a pretty likely idea: that person's physical body was probably in the Desolate Region, which is why the Huang Clan was so concerned about this place.

However, Huang Quan did not tell Jue Yi and the others about this matter. On the one hand, he was not sure if the matter was correct, and on the other hand, if they knew about that person's existence, there would definitely be some unexpected consequences. At present, the True Profound Alliance and the Huang Clan are at a critical juncture, and it is not appropriate to stir up any more trouble.

"It seems that I'll have to handle that person's matter alone," Huang Quan thought to himself, as if he had made up his mind.

……

Meanwhile, in a windless area about a hundred miles from the wasteland.

Under the gloomy sky, a hundred people slowly stood up.

These hundred men were all dressed in yellow armor and divided into two groups of fifty, so that at a glance they looked like two mighty squads of soldiers.

Directly in front of these hundred men stood two other men. Although they were also dressed in yellow armor, their demeanor clearly distinguished them from ordinary soldiers. Therefore, it could be concluded that they were the leaders of these hundred soldiers.

One of them had a buzz cut, a very muscular build, and appeared to be around twenty-five years old. His name was Huang Zhan, and he was the captain of the third vanguard team.

The other person had long, flowing hair but an average build. He was also in his early twenties. His name was Huang Xing, and he was the captain of the second forward team.

So it's quite obvious that the hundred people behind them are the third and second forward teams.

However, at this moment, they seem to have a slight disagreement.

"Hey! What are you trying to do? What do you mean you're going to attack first and then call me when something happens? Do you think I can't see you trying to take all the credit?" Huang Zhan said to Huang Xing, very unhappy.

"Hey! Don't put it so harshly. I'm just being cautious. Think about it! If both teams launch an attack at the same time, wouldn't the True Profound Alliance members know our situation? But if one team attacks openly and the other hides in secret, wouldn't we be able to catch them off guard? Don't you think that makes sense?" Huang Xing said seriously. Clearly, he was smarter than Huang Zhan.

“Hmm? That seems to make sense…” But Huang Zhangan shook his head as soon as he said that, “No, no, no! Don’t give me that. Every captain of our Thirteen Vanguard Team knows how many tricks you have up your sleeve. I don’t believe your nonsense.”

"Alright! So what do you want?" Huang Xing asked nonchalantly.

"Well... if you switch our positions, I'll agree," Huang Zhan said.

"Switching roles, you mean you go first, and then call me if anything happens?" Huang Xing asked tentatively.

“That’s right.” Huang Zhan nodded.

Hearing this, Huang Xing's eyes flashed. After considering it for a moment, he smiled and said, "Alright! Since you insist, I'll agree. Anyway, as long as we can take over the wasteland, it doesn't matter whether you attack first or I attack first."

"Hahahaha! Then I'll take it without hesitation!" Huang Zhan laughed loudly, looking triumphant.

Perhaps fearing Huang Xing might change his mind, he immediately shouted to the fifty men behind him, "Third Vanguard Team! Follow me! We're going to wipe out the Wasteland and crush the True Profound Alliance!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zhan transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the Wasteland.

The fifty people behind him also flew silently into the sky. Upon closer inspection, they looked like a meteor shower, which was quite dazzling.

But after they left, Huang Xing looked at the sky and sneered, "Tch! What a reckless fool! Did you think the True Profound Alliance was so easy to defeat? Did you think there were no strong people on the True Profound Continent? Did you think I really wanted to attack first?"

"Hmph! How stupid! I just wanted you to lead the charge for me. Anyway, as long as you deplete most of the True Profound Alliance's fighting strength, I can sit back and reap the rewards! Tsk tsk tsk! It's really satisfying to think about! All the credit will be mine!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a gentle breeze suddenly arose in the otherwise windless area…

"Hmm?" Feeling the wind, he immediately calmed down: "Strange? Isn't this a calm zone? How come there's a wind?"

And at this moment, perhaps it was the heavens' way of answering his question, for directly in front of him and the second vanguard team, a woman dressed in purple walked towards them step by step through the dust stirred up by the breeze.

"Who goes there?" Upon seeing the woman in purple, Huang Xing immediately tensed up, and not only him, but the fifty men behind him also instantly prepared for battle, demonstrating that they were indeed an elite squad.

However, the woman in purple did not respond to them; she simply kept walking...

Finally, she came before Huang Xing, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. This caused Huang Xing's heart to skip a beat when he looked at the woman in purple, but unfortunately, it was the last time his heart would beat.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted from the woman in purple, turning the gentle breeze into a gale that swept unchecked in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Huang Xing was shocked, his eyes narrowing rapidly, but there was nothing he could do.

In just about ten breaths, Huang Xing and his elite team completely vanished from this wasteland, as if they had never existed. So when the eleventh breath arrived, only the woman in purple remained.

Her expression remained melancholy as always, and her gaze remained fixed on the direction of the Yellow Springs. Only after she sighed did she rise again and fly towards the desolate region.

"Fine, this time... let me help you!" These were her last words before she left.

……

Just as the woman in purple finished speaking, Huang Quan, in the Flower Pavilion in the northern part of the desolate region, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and opened his eyes wide, as if he had sensed something unusual, and immediately turned his gaze outside.

And upon looking, the woman in purple who had just been in that windless area suddenly appeared in his sight.

This was their third meeting, but unlike the previous two, this time the woman in purple did not do anything to "harm" Huang Quan.

"What are you here for?"

"I'll help you."

"help me?"

"Yes."

"Help me with what?"
