1819 The Future Has Never Changed
Meng Chao could understand Su Mulian’s actions.
Back then, the reason why he did not run to the Supernatural tower, the Survival Committee, or the headquarters of the nine mega corporations as soon as he awakened his future memories was also because of the same consideration.
On one hand, he didn’t know which big shots were trustworthy.
He didn’t know how he could win the trust of these big shots.
!!
On the other hand, there were still at least twenty to thirty years before the apocalypse. He could start to change from a certain detail and use the b.u.t.terfly effect to set off stormy waves. He would continue to grow his wings, add fuel to the fire, control power, and eventually change everything.
“After that, I pushed forward the Lair Reconstruction Project with you and established the Azure Medical Center. I used my ability to benefit more Dragon City citizens and win their trust,” Su Mulian said.
“During this period, I have also been secretly observing your actions and found that you have not done anything that could endanger the future safety of Dragon City.
“To be honest, even if my soul had entered your bodies, knowing that Dragon City might be in danger in the future, I wouldn’t have been able to do better than you.
“Since that’s the case, what else do I have to say?
“After that, you were attacked by the remnants of the monster civilization at the peak of Mist Mountain. You fell into the Raging Tiger River, and disappeared.
“I was shocked by this.
“At that time, I had not completely thought of everything that would happen in the future.
“I don’t remember if you fell into the river and went missing in the future when Dragon City and the Other World were completely destroyed in my dream.
“With a fluke mind, I feel that I had completely changed the future.
“After all, according to Lu Siya, you were heavily injured by the remnants of the monster civilization. While you were heavily injured and on your last breath, you fell into the Eye of Destruction, which acts as the intersection of the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River.
“The Eye of Destruction is the most terrifying vortex on Monster Mountain Range. There is no other.
“Even an intact heavy battle tank would be torn apart by the turbulence that contains violent spirit energy the moment it falls into the Eye of Destruction and disappear without a trace.
“I thought you were definitely dead.
“Although it was a great pity, I was actually a little relieved deep down.
“Meng Chao, since you were already dead, of course, you couldn’t become the hero who saved Dragon City and the leader who controlled Dragon City like you did in the nightmare.
“In my memories of the future, Lu Siya was able to climb to the top because of her own ability and the power behind her. More importantly, after she became your wife, she inherited your prestige, your halo, your allies, and your political inheritance. In other words, she was pushed to the top as ‘Meng Chao 2.0’ by tens of thousands of Dragon City citizens.
“Since you had already fallen, no matter how hard Lu Siya worked in the future, it was unlikely for her to fight her way out of those complicated interest groups and become the master of Dragon City.
“Perhaps, she would have the chance to be a senior member of Parliament, or even a speaker in a few decades.
“But she certainly wouldn’t have the absolute power to decide life and death like what I saw in the apocalyptic nightmare.
“I didn’t know what kind of changes your death would bring to Dragon City.
“I only knew that no matter what changes there were, it was better than nothing.
“After all, I can’t think of a worse ending than ‘the light of destruction descending from the sky, destroying and resetting the entire Other World.’
“‘Everything is over,’ I told myself.
“With your death, Meng Chao, I didn’t have to be bothered by difficult decisions that I had no idea were right or wrong. I could put down all the burdens in my heart, relax, and live a normal life.
“For more than half a year, things developed in a good direction.
“As I expected, without your support, Lu Siya still worked very hard and even formed the Azure Alliance with all the interest groups in Dragon City, except for the nine mega corporations.
“But ultimately, she was born into a wealthy family, and she was still inexperienced. It was impossible for her to gain the absolute trust of all the humble-cla.s.s superhumans and the ordinary people in a short time.
“As for my nightmares of the apocalypse, they began to appear less and less. The longest I went without them was an entire month. I slept very soundly until dawn and didn’t have a single nightmare.
“For six months, I probably had the most relaxed, happy, and ‘normal’ days in my life.
“I thought that it could last forever, but I little did I know, three months ago…”
When Su Mulian said this, the corner of her eyes suddenly twitched violently. She had an expression of shock and pain.
It was as if an invisible nail had pierced through the back of her head and into her central nervous system, and she had been injected with a high voltage.
Even though Su Mulian possesed super self-healing and had experienced extreme pain transferred from her deformed patients countless times, she still could not help but tremble in fear.
“One day three months ago, I, who hadn’t experienced a nightmare in a long time, had the clearest, most real, and most terrifying nightmare in my life.”
Su Mulian closed her eyes. Her voice seemed to come from the bottom of an ice cave hundreds of meters deep. “In the latest nightmare, I was not only myself but also thousands of Dragon City citizens, or rather, I was the collective consciousness of the several thousand citizens.
“From thousands of different perspectives, I watched helplessly as the sky tore apart, Holy Light overflowed, and the flames of destruction descended from the above, completely destroying the Dragon City civilization.
“Through the tremendous information transmission of thousands of central nerves, I sensed the infinite pain of being burned to ashes deep within my soul.
“I woke up from the nightmare and found that there were weird cl.u.s.ters of blisters on my skin.
“Some of my skin even showed signs of carbonization and peeling off.
“They were signs of different degrees of burns.
“However, unlike my body, my sweat-soaked bedding did not show any signs of burning.
“In other words, all the wounds were directly caused by my central nerves issuing instructions to my nerve endings and skin cells.
“The nightmare shattered the denial that I had built up over the past half year.
“I realized in desperation that destruction would eventually come, and the future never changed!”
