Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

But Jiang Yi is different...

Compared to Que Yun, compared to Jin Buli, Hui Nian, and others...

His resolve was clearly far inferior!

He seems to have been influenced and coerced by others.

That's why I'm here to compete in this assessment.

Even until recently, he genuinely felt...

Even if I don't inherit the skills, it doesn't matter.

but now……

Jiang Yi realized—

He was wrong!

How wrong!

All desires that are optional will become "nothing"!

This passing on of tradition is not something he can do without!

Rather... it must be obtained!

Yes! We must get it!

At this moment, Jiang Yi was increasingly able to deduce what his grandfather had wanted to say at the end, but he hadn't.

This is the passing down of tradition!

He must get it!

His rewritten fate may indeed lead to a terrible situation once again!

But he couldn't just sit there and wait to die!

Perhaps he should grasp onto something to resist that so-called fate!

Correct!

Grandpa's words, that sorrowful and heavy tone...

It serves as a wake-up call!

Jiang Yi repeatedly adjusted her mood.

And when he came to the vicinity of the Eye of Mulberry Fields again.

Then you can see...

The Eye of Mulberry Field had shrunk to only two or three meters in diameter!

At the same time, more players gathered there.

However, there are now fewer than thirty contestants left on the time leaderboard!

Furthermore, the top five players—

Jiang Yi, Shi Que, Tian Chou, Hui Nian, Que Yun.

These five people are basically guaranteed to advance.

remain……

Jiang Yi saw it from afar—

Que Yun stood opposite Bei Wu, seemingly in a standoff.

Judging from their expressions...

Is this a sign that brothers are about to turn against each other?

Jiang Yi's true form carries the coordinates of the number one ranking.

Therefore, almost all the contestants had sensed his arrival in advance.

Many eyes turned to him.

Observing, surprised, pondering, heavy-hearted.

Jiang Yi glanced across the entire room, but didn't pay much attention.

Only when the sword of foolishness was swept across...

His gaze met Yu Yue's for a long while.

This corrupted Rat...

His small, dark eyes could hardly hide anything.

Including the time when Hanlong first said that the Illusionary Star Rat Clan was extinct.

Jiang Yi had already sensed it—

Yu Yue had deep feelings for his race, and he probably couldn't accept that his race had become extinct.

and so……

He may very well want to change history!

At the time, Jiang Yi didn't really have any particular feelings about this.

But just now, after hearing what the dean had to say...

He suddenly realized—

The so-called "changing history" may be nothing short of a terrifying curse!

Jiang Yi could vaguely guess what Yu Yue was thinking.

but……

He suddenly felt.

Perhaps, what truly led to the extinction of the Phantom Star Rat Clan was...

It's not some other race, it's just Yu Yue himself!

think carefully.

If the extermination of the Illusion Star Rat race truly occurred through this test, then the Rat race was indeed wiped out.

Therefore, those races that have gone through this trial and learned about subsequent history should know—

Unrestrained tail cutting of the Luo Rat will cause the Phantom Star Luo Rat to evolve into a tailless Luo Rat!

Therefore, they should have considered sustainable development from the very beginning when they set their sights on the rat's tail.

Instead of being so ignorant that the entire Phantom Star Rat lost its tail...

and so.

From this, we can deduce that—

The race that wiped out the Illusionary Star Rat Clan did not grasp the future of history.

They didn't realize that their actions would cause the rats to never grow tails again.

They discovered the secret and reaped the entire Illusionary Star Rat Clan within the normal course of history.

In the normal course of history, what led to the extinction of the Phantom Star Rat Clan was...

Perhaps it was due to some other coincidence.

But more likely, it was Yu Yue!

Just like the dean, he did what he believed was right in the moment.

However, in the long run, this right thing to do now will bring disaster in the future!

Perhaps, Yu Yue, who wanted to make a change, did try to do some things in his time.

However, things didn't go as planned, and it had the opposite effect!

Perhaps fate has always been this unpredictable...

This is truly pathetic.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yi understood even more deeply why the dean's voice was so sad and why he hesitated to speak.

Because it's true, he doesn't dare to say it anymore.

He was clearly doing the right thing...

But in the end, they lost everything...

If, one day in the future, the foolish Yue, who is deeply attached to his race, suddenly discovers—

His efforts to prevent the extermination of his race were the root cause of the genocide...

So……

How would he feel?

Grandpa Dean, perhaps he feels the same way...

Jiang Yi thought about all this, then suddenly realized—

Perhaps a person living in the present shouldn't bother to understand the history of the future!

While Jiang Yi was pondering these things...

Yu Yue met his gaze and sensed a suppressed emotion in his eyes.

Yu Yue's already terrible mood seemed to be ignited in this instant.

He suddenly glared at Jiang Yi, but his arrogance quickly subsided, though he still couldn't help but complain:

"so……"

"The one who commands the army of shadows is none other than yourself?!"

"You have a hundred million years, so you really look down on three hundred thousand years and disregard our cooperation!"

Hanlong listened to Yu Yue's complaints and sneered inwardly.

I thought to myself, this stinky rat is really stupid.

If Jiang Yi really is the master of the Shadow Army...

That strength was far beyond what a mere rat like him could possibly provoke!

That stinky rat really can't see the situation clearly!

His race deserved to be wiped out!

Thinking it over, Hanlong gave Yu Yue a cold look, then turned to Jiang Yi and said:

"I do owe you for those 300,000 years of cooperation, but I have no intention of defaulting on my debt."

"If you still want those 300,000 years, I can keep my promise and give them back to you."

At this moment, Que Yun and Bei Wu also ended their complicated eye contact and looked at Jiang Yi.

Que Yun was about to say something.

Jin Buli, however, spoke first, asking Jiang Yi a question:

"Your shadow clone arrived later. Did you hear our previous conversation?"

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow and shook his head slightly.

So Jin Buli told Jiang Yi about Shi Que's plan and Hui Nian's statement.

Of course, the main focus is on the number of people who advanced.

Shi Que and Hui Nian seemed to tacitly agree that—

This second round of assessments requires nine people to advance.

And Jin Buli...

He didn't say it directly, but he conveyed it to Jiang Yi with his eyes.

Jiang Yi smiled, deducing it from just a look in his eyes—

This Jin Buli is indeed Lu Li!

They were just putting on an act before!

They really know how to act!

Jin Buli and Lu Li have completely different images!

So this big shot is quite the drama queen, right?

but.

Regarding the question of the number of people advancing...

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment.

He ignored Hanlong and Yuyue, and looked directly at Shi Que and Hui Nian, asking quite seriously:

"You two seem to have more information about this assessment."

"Can you give me a definite answer regarding the number of players who will advance from the second round?"

How confident are you about your prediction that nine people will advance?
