After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

The turbulent flow of memories dissipated, and at the end of the road stood a pristine white door, overlooking a tranquil lake.

The blue-gold soul orb belonging to Hua Xue was floating in mid-air, staring blankly at the white gate.

In the years since she became Princess Rabbit, she has traveled to many places with Xiaoxue and met her old friends.

Qi Shan and Xie Jingbai, who were still somewhat naive back then, have now grown into adults and realized their childhood dreams.

Only her time was forever frozen at the age of seven.

Hearing the soft footsteps behind her, she closed her eyes and turned around.

They traversed the turbulent currents of memory, meaning that her time had finally come to an end.

"Xiaoxue, and Lord Lingmou, you have arrived as promised."

Hua Xue turned her head, looked at the face that looked exactly like hers, and smiled slightly: "Xiao Xue, walk forward. As long as you go through that white door, you can return to the real world."

Xiaoxue took two steps forward: "Your Highness Rabbit, no, Sister Huaxue, what about you! Can't we go back together?"

Lingmou silently took two steps back, not wanting to disturb her any further.

The pure white Gate of Rebirth opens only for one person, and only one person can pass through it.

The River of Oblivion, responsible for sending souls into reincarnation, mysteriously disappeared... In other words, the soul that remained could only wander indefinitely along the banks of the River of Oblivion until its last bit of energy was exhausted and it vanished into the world.

There is no hope of being reborn in the Pure Land.

The mirror-like lake surface remained undisturbed. "Hua Xue" gazed back at this empty world, yet felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.

The Spirit Stone gave her soul a place to rest and allowed her to see many landscapes she had never seen before, but it was also like a birdcage, trapping her inside and preventing her from escaping.

It's time to put an end to all of this.

A soft light enveloped the blue-gold soul sphere, which continuously transformed until it finally became a young woman in her early twenties wearing a white dress.

She twirled gracefully, her skirt fluttering in the air: "I've imagined what I'll look like when I grow up countless times, and now, it's finally come true."

Hua Xue bent down, lifted Xiao Xue's cheek, and said gently, "Xiao Xue, my life should have ended long ago. But your life has just begun."

"I no longer yearn for the outside world, but you and I are different. There are still people there who are willing to risk their lives for you, waiting for you to return."

Xiaoxue's mind flashed back to Leng Ran holding her, and her eyes reddened: "Sister Mo Li... was injured because of me."

"So, Xiaoxue, for the sake of the people you cherish, bravely move forward." Huaxue looked at her with a smile, "The places I can't reach, you definitely can. Xiaoxue, take my share and see this world properly."

The girl Hua Xue's body gradually became transparent. Xiao Xue exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Hua Xue, what's wrong with you!"

She calmly replied, "It's nothing. I'm just going back to where I belong."

Xiaoxue tried to grab Huaxue's hand, but missed, and could only turn to Lingmou behind her for help.

Lingmou shook her head regretfully: "I am powerless to help."

Unfortunately, what was inside the rabbit was ultimately just a fragment of the spirit stone, unable to stop the dissipation of soul energy. Hua Xue's soul energy was already scarce, and having not immediately entered the Gate of Rebirth, she had reached her limit.

"Xiaoxue, may you have peace and good fortune in the days to come."

Hua Xue's body slowly turned into specks of light, and her voice grew farther and farther away, drifting into the air.

"I want to be the untamed wind, the free bird."

"Now I am free and unrestrained, and my soul soars into the clouds."

Meanwhile, the real world.

As he watched Hua Xue being pulled in, Leng Ran took a deep breath. His mental state began to recover slowly, and the ringing in his ears was relieved. He was able to hear some sounds from the outside world.

Greed and anger have disappeared. The only one who can continue to provide strength to the scales and stop her is the Flower Rain Dew.

Seeing Hua Yulu remain silent with her back turned, Leng Ran felt a surge of anger. She picked up the Chi Yang sword that had been thrown on the ground, thrust the blade forward, and held it against Hua Yulu's shoulder and neck.

"Those red tentacles, were you controlling them?" Leng Ran suppressed his anger. "Hua Yulu, have you really never treated her as your own daughter?"

Before she could finish speaking, Hua Yulu lost her footing and fell to the ground.

"I did it, but it was all for my Xiaoxue." Hua Yulu turned around. "Guess what price I just paid?"

She removed her black hood, revealing a face hidden behind it, similar to that of number 40, that had begun to wither.

"You paid with your own life?" Leng Ran frowned. "Did you ever consider that if you died, would Hua Xue, after being resurrected, be able to live on?"

Hua Yulu closed her eyes: "It's alright, I've already prepared a way out for her. She'll live a good life even without me."

Leng Ran: "If the backup plan you're talking about is just a pipe dream, then you've come to the wrong person."

“From the first day I met him, I knew he was untrustworthy,” Hua Yulu said calmly. “Mo Li, although I don’t know why you joined the Illuminati, I would like to give you some advice.”

"Never underestimate a beautiful dream; it is more dangerous than you think."

Dream, this mysterious hacker who has never shown her true face, has always appeared as a confidant of the Divine Messenger. If the Divine Messenger is the creator of the Illuminati, then Dream can be considered its builder, single-handedly constructing the Illuminati's powerful intelligence network through her own abilities.

Although Leng Ran had known Mei Meng for a long time, she knew very little about the real Mei Meng.

"My time is running out. If you have any questions, I can answer them for you." Hua Yulu coughed twice, half of her face already sallow. "I only hope that you will spare my innocent daughter, and I will bear all the blame myself."

Leng Ran took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then put down his sword.

"I promise you, I won't lay a hand on her," he said coldly. "Whatever backup plans you have for her, as long as they don't threaten me, I can turn a blind eye."

Hua Yulu smiled weakly: "Thank you, Mo Li."

He cut straight to the point: "First question. Why does Hua Xue possess the power of the Spirit Eye? Is she a successful product of your 'God-given Plan'?"

“Yes and no,” Hua Yulu replied. “She… is a ‘half-human’ that I created by fusing Xiaoxue’s genes with those of the Spirit-Eyed Beast. She possesses both human and Spirit-Eyed Beast bloodlines, making her far stronger than an ordinary human.”

"The God of Truth—Spirit Eye—has his soul passed down to the next generation of Spirit Eye Beasts, achieving coexistence of souls. By chance, I captured the current inheritor and forcibly altered the inheritor's identity."

"Unfortunately, those before AR-13 all failed to pass on their skills."

A storm raged within Leng Ran's heart. The Hua Yulu before him seemed lucid, but deep down she was utterly insane.

Indeed, the line between genius and madness is often very thin.

Leng Ran: "My second question is about High Priest Styx. How much do you know about him?"

Hua Yulu: "Minghe? His whereabouts are always elusive, I have never seen him. However, I heard that he recently appeared at the Morning Star."

Leng Ran: "Finally, I'd like to know, did you and Mei Meng make any kind of deal?"

“That’s too many,” Hua Yulu exclaimed. “Now that I think about it, he was the one who brought me into the Illuminati, and he was also the one who led me step by step into the abyss.”

He pressed on coldly, "What if we only talk about recent transactions? For example, Hua Xue?"

Before she could get a reply, the ground began to shake violently. A look of panic appeared on Hua Yulu's face: "Oh no! Tan Chen is gone, this space has returned to reality!"

In other words, this base has been regained control of the Dream.

A circular platform rose from the ground, perfectly replacing the original surface. At this moment, the platform was filled with over a hundred heavily armed cyborgs, who surrounded Leng Ran and Hua Yulu in the very center.

The projection of a beautiful dream emerged from behind them and stood in front of them.

"Gentlemen, what are you talking about? Why don't you take me along, and we can catch up?"
