"why?"

“Because he is already dead.” The girl in white robes said this as if it were something insignificant, but Chen Er clearly noticed the shadow passing between her brows.

"Then, who is the other person I've already met?" Chen Er had no interest in the deceased. In fact, he already had the answer to this question in his heart.

"Cao Cao".

Hearing the name spoken by the girl in white robes, Chen Er sighed inwardly. It really was him!

Therefore, everything that happened to Chen Er after entering the Warrior Tower can now be explained.

"So, our trespassing into this forbidden area was also because of General Cao Cao?"

"He alone doesn't have that much power. He's just a pawn; the mastermind is someone else."

"Who?" Chen Er asked.

The girl in white robes fell silent.

"Can't we say? When did Cao Cao join the Warrior Tower?" Chen Er whispered.

The girl in white shook her head and said:

"I've already told you."

She would only tell him what she knew, leaving the truth for him to discover on his own.

"Thank you very much." Chen Er nodded to the girl in white. He owed her this favor.

"That's all I can say about this matter. Is there anything else you'd like to know?" the white-robed girl continued calmly.

"How much do you know about the Sea of ​​Heroes?"

Chen Er hesitated for a moment, but decided to tentatively ask the white-robed girl about the Sea of ​​Heroes. He had a gut feeling that the Sea of ​​Heroes was definitely of great importance!

"I've told you everything I can about the Sea of ​​Heroes. Knowing the rest won't do you any good. Besides, I don't know much more about the Sea of ​​Heroes than you do."

The girl in white robes refused outright. Chen Er was somewhat disappointed, but it was within his expectations.

If the white-robed girl were to directly tell him the secrets of a place like the Sea of ​​Heroes, he would actually start to doubt her intentions. After all, he wasn't familiar with the white-robed girl.

The girl in white robes seemed to have told him a lot, but apart from who the mastermind was, others could have told Chen Er everything else. Moreover, it's uncertain how much of that information was actually accurate.

Speak only three-tenths of what you know to others, and never reveal your whole heart. This principle applies in any world, except to brothers who would risk their lives for each other.

"So, what are assassins? You can at least tell me that, right?" Chen Er knew that the girl in white robes was unlikely to answer the previous question, but what he really wanted to know was about assassins.

How could humans be like that? If it weren't so unlikely, Chen Er would have used the term "undead" to describe the assassins.

"The Death Warriors are the most loyal guardians of the Warrior Tower. Only the three elders know how the Death Warriors are created, and only the three elders can command them. I don't know much about the Death Warriors either. I only know that the Death Warriors are responsible for guarding the forbidden areas of the Warrior Tower, and this has been the case for thousands of years."

"Undeniably, they are indeed very strong, but with their strength, they seem to be insufficient to stop the Abyss Dragon, right?" Chen Er thought for a moment and didn't think the assassins were capable of stopping the "Abyss Dragon".

"Who told you that assassins could stop the Abyss Dragon? So-called assassins are nothing more than offerings from the Warrior Tower to appease the Abyss Dragon. Once the Abyss Dragon shows signs of awakening, a large number of assassins will jump into the abyss of despair under the orders of the elders."

Chen Er remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

The truth is actually like this? That terrifying team was just "food" for the Abyss Dragon!

This shows just how terrifying the Abyss Dragon truly is!

Unconsciously, Chen Er recalled what the girl in white robes had said earlier—Yuanlong was a person who had committed a great crime.

What a terrible crime to be punished like this, imprisoned forever in the dark underground; and how cruel to feed on "death warriors".

Unconsciously, Chen Er asked:

"Just how terrifying is the Abyss Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of gloom crossed the white-robed girl's eyes. She looked at Chen Er and said, word by word:

Have you ever experienced despair?

Chen was speechless.

"It is the king of fire and bronze, it forges mountains and melts the earth, it is the great god of war, it is the immortal nightmare. On that day, the end of the world came, it forgot its former glory and betrayed the gods. The flames melted the sky, the earth solidified into metal, and it fought with the gods for nine days and nine nights. In the end, it fell to the mortal world."

The girl in white robes spoke in a low, melancholic tone, as if recounting an ancient myth, but the listener felt a chill run down their spine.

"This is an ancient chant I obtained in the Sea of ​​Heroes. As for who it belongs to, I don't need to say more, do I?"

Chen Er shook his head. Besides the "Abyss Dragon," who else is worthy of such a grand myth?

"There are many things in this world that we cannot imagine. In the darkness, many people have paid a huge price, even their own lives, to protect the world from being shrouded in darkness. You can breathe freely in the sunlight because someone is carrying the darkness of the entire world on their shoulders in the darkness."

"Do such a group of people really exist? If they do, where are they?" Chen Er asked unconsciously as he listened to the white-robed girl's words.

"You already know their names, and you've even met one of them." The white-robed girl said, her eyes shining as she looked at Chen Er.

"Would you like to join the ranks of the Fated Ones and fight alongside us?"

Chen Er stared in astonishment at the white-robed girl. The Fate-Changers were actually this kind of people?

Would they really be willing to give their lives to protect the world? Are those who command destiny truly that great?

However, why do Lü Lingqi and Zhang Yang have completely opposite opinions about the Fated One?

Zhang Yang didn't think highly of the Fate Seekers, but Chen Er could ignore that, since Zhang Yang was a cunning old fox who wouldn't easily reveal his true thoughts. However, why did Lü Lingqi so deeply resent the Fate Seekers?

Moreover, Chen Er still remembered what Lü Lingqi had said.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was orchestrated by the people of Samurai Tower.

What is the relationship between the Samurai Tower and the Fate Seers? Were the people who planned the Yellow Turban Rebellion the Fate Seers?

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that right away. I need some time to think about it." After calming his inner unease and weighing the pros and cons, Chen Er answered the white-robed girl in this way.

"Alright, three days is the timeframe. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, just let me know."
