1820 Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate
As Su Mulian spoke, she extended her slightly trembling hands.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya were shocked to find that as she groaned in despair, ugly black spots quickly appeared on her fair, slender, and jade-like hands. Deep within the black spots, there was a faint orange glow and a faint burnt smell.
It was as if huge h.e.l.lish flames were burning Su Mulian’s cells after bursting out of their depths!
Even though she quickly overcame this with her “super self-healing” ability, it irrefutably proved that there was indeed a force from the future deep within Su Mulian’s soul.
!!
This power could interfere with one’s mind and affect matter!
“In the days that followed, I had dozens… no, hundreds of extremely clear nightmares,
Su Mulian said in a trembling voice.
“I couldn’t control it at all. Even when I forced myself to open my eyes and kept myself awake, it was no use. The nightmare was like gangrene attached to my bones, haunting me.
“Sometimes, even while I was walking or talking to others normally, as long as my nerves were slightly relaxed, my soul would immediately leave my body and fall into a nightmare. I would see the coming apocalypse again and again.
“At least 70% of the stories about the future and the apocalypse that I told you earlier have played out in my brain in the past few days.
“I can’t deceive myself anymore and turn a blind eye to it.
“But I don’t know what I should do to truly, thoroughly, and forever change the future.
“The only way I could prepare for a rainy day was use the connections I had acc.u.mulated over the years to buy a batch of strengthened and modified guns, as well as ammunition, and explosive devices from the black market.
“St this time, I haven’t figured out how I should make use of those things. I only regard them as life-saving straws, or at least, life-saving straws that can be used to comfort myself.
“Besides, I was very curious.
“Meng Chao, you should know that when my dream became clearer and all the clues connected, you still hadn’t announced your existence.
“I was still hoping for the last bit of luck. If you didn’t show up, that meant the nightmare was just that, a nightmare, and I was merely being paranoid.
“It’s a pity that you still appeared.
“When you were announcing your magnificent return to all the citizens via the media at the Golden Roc’s explosion site, I had the longest, clearest, and most painful nightmare of my life…
“No, it didn’t feel like a nightmare at all but the real future. I experienced a long and genuine life in the future from a first-person perspective!
“When I slowly woke up from my destined destruction, only half an hour had pa.s.sed in reality, and you had just finished your speech.
“Meanwhile, I had already clearly seen your path. I could see that you were destined to lead Dragon City all the way, charging toward its fate of victory and destruction.
“Staring at your high-spirited look on the screen, my soul trembled, and I instantly understood my mission.
“There was no more luck. I was the only one who could change the future.
“Otherwise, why would G.o.d give me such an ability and repeatedly let me foresee the future in terrifying dreams?”
Su Mulian’s lips curled up slightly as she spoke. The holiness and fervor of a martyr reappeared on her face.
“There are many ways to change the future.”
Meng Chao was silent for a moment before he said, “You could have looked for me or Lu Siya and told us everything. Since the future you saw became so real and clear, even if we couldn’t accept it completely, we’d at least be skeptical.”
“It’s useless. The progress of a civilization is like an overwhelming torrent that has its own inertia. Insignificant, minor changes are like throwing a stone into the torrent. It may raise a few swirls, ripples, and waves in the torrent, but it won’t change the torrent’s direction in the end.”
Su Mulian stared at Meng Chao and said, “Think about it. Meng Chao, you managed to level up and return to Picturesque Orchid Lake, which is filled with Turan orcs, after falling into the Eye of Destruction.
“I don’t think my words are neither more powerful than the Eye of Destruction and Turan orcs nor enough to stop you from ascending to your destined throne.
“If there’s anything I’ve learned from the future, it would be that only death could stop a legend like you!
Meng Chao smiled wryly.
“So, you actually wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate me?” Meng Chao asked.
“If possible, you would, of course, be the best target.”
Su Mulian said, “I didn’t plan to do it so early. With my ability to transfer injuries and super self-healing, plus our relationship, one day you would come to me for treatment. That would be the best opportunity.
“But soon, I heard the news that Lu Zhongqi and Yun Feidian, the two Deity Realm experts, died in your hands.
“I couldn’t help but take a deep breath. I wondered how powerful you were at this point.
“I hesitated. I wasn’t sure if I’d have the chance to kill you even if you came to me for treatment one day.
“Besides, I am neither a meticulous spy nor a cold-hearted a.s.sa.s.sin with great secrets. When I see you again, I’d certainly be fl.u.s.tered and emotional, and I’d reveal all kinds of flaws in my micro-expressions, which you would see through at first glance.
“At that time, Lu Siya, who was seriously injured and without her extraordinary powers, was sent to Azure Medical Center.
“When I saw her pale face and helpless appearance, I had a thought.
“That’s right, although Lu Siya wasn’t the instigator, she was Dragon City’s supreme leader when it was destroyed. As long as we successfully killed her, it would greatly change the future.
“At the very least, Meng Chao, it would be impossible for you to marry her again, and it’d be difficult for you to gain full support from the Lu family, Sky Pillar Corporation, and the nine mega corporations. It would also be difficult for you to ease the relationship between the humble cla.s.s and the rich cla.s.s. Such an intense chain reaction would definitely change the course of history.
“Besides, Lu Siya is much easier to kill than you. I don’t even need a powerful crystal weapon. I only need an ordinary scalpel to stop the apocalypse and change her fate!
“Therefore, although I was surrounded by the medical team and the people of the Azure Alliance, after Lu Siya was sent to Azure Medical Center and she had no chance of going home to get her crystal guns and explosive devices, I decided to solve the problem before dawn.
“If I failed in the end, like I just did, I believed that I would still have a chance to tell you everything slowly. To a certain extent, after betting on my future and destiny, it’s easier for you to believe and value my words, isn’t it? ”
