Listening to Zhou Bai's questions and observing the changes in his expression, Qian Wangsun thought to himself: 'It's almost ti.'
So under Zhou Bai's relentless questioning, Qian Wangsun finally said with a helpless look, "Hmm... There is so news I haven't told you yet, and that is that the Mysterious Maiden is still alive."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai's body shook, and he imdiately said, "Impossible, I personally..."
Qian Wangsun said, "I want to invite her to join us in fighting against the Supre Heavenly Venerate."
Zhou Bai glared at Qian Wangsun and slowly said, "You should know how deep her hostility towards humans is."
Qian Wangsun lowered his head and sighed lightly, "Zhou Bai, I know about the principal, the Mysterious Maiden, the Sect Hierarch, and your parents..."
Hearing Qian Wangsun's words, Zhou Bai's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed the terminal used by Qian Wangsun to project and, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, coldly said, "Don't use them to influence ."
Qian Wangsun imdiately shut his mouth. If there was anyone who knew Zhou Bai best in this world, he dared to say he would definitely be in the top three.
Qian Wangsun knew that there were a few matters in Zhou Bai's heart that were his greatest regrets and had a trendous impact on Zhou Bai's inner self and ntal state.
First was when he failed to stop the Heavenly Demon from killing Alice's children in Dr. Zhuang's underground base.
Another matter was that he couldn't save Principal Zhao Shouyi during the Heavenly Demon's siege, and could only watch him gradually transform into an aberration.
Besides, there was the ti when Li Xiuzhu refused to let Zhou Bai manipulate his will to stop the demon plan and chose suicide. Zhou Bai couldn't prevent him.
Then there was the Mysterious Maiden and Xiao Pei, including the first ti killing the Mysterious Maiden for Zhao Shouyi, and the second ti failing to stop the Mysterious Maiden from creating a large number of aberrations in Donghua City, ultimately having to kill the Mysterious Maiden with his own hands.
Apart from these four matters, what troubled Zhou Bai the most was the arduous search for his parents during the era of Homo sapiens.
Especially after knowing he might just be a replica of Zhou Bai, his feelings towards his parents beca more complicated.
Unconsciously, his parents had beco a thorn he didn't want to ntion in his heart.
'One could say these matters were the most influential events on Zhou Bai over the past three years and more, and they are one of the key factors for his current state.'
Qian Wangsun thought secretly about these, and the reason he ntioned them was to soften Zhou Bai's attitude based on the predicted outco because he had made up his mind to recruit the Mysterious Maiden to fight against the Supre Heavenly Venerate.
Qian Wangsun continued, "The Mysterious Maiden's talent in aberration abilities is rare in the world. Your Celestial Nine Disasters ability can further enhance her capabilities rapidly. If the two of you cooperate, our chances of defeating the Supre Heavenly Venerate will greatly increase."
Zhou Bai's brows remained furrowed in a frown, his gaze filled with extrely complex emotions.
After a long ti, he slowly said, "The Mysterious Maiden wouldn't agree. There isn't the slightest room for reconciliation between her and humanity."
Qian Wangsun said, "I will persuade her."
Zhou Bai still shook his head, "If we join forces to defeat the Supre Heavenly Venerate, we'll still have to kill the Mysterious Maiden in the end, right?"
Qian Wangsun solemnly said, "Zhou Bai, we are now fighting against an unprecedentedly powerful opponent. This is a war concerning the life and death of all beings on this planet and the future of our entire civilization."
"If we lose this great war, it will lead to the death of over a billion humans, break off our civilization, and beco a tragedy for billions of beings."
Qian Wangsun clenched his fists, his eyes seeming to be overwheld by countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They were the countless cruel and dark futures he envisioned, outcos enough to drive an ordinary person into despair and ntal collapse.
"To win this war, I will unite all the forces that can be united and use everyone who can be used. I will spare no ans to leverage every ounce of strength at my disposal."
Qian Wangsun fixed his gaze on Zhou Bai's eyes and enunciated, "Zhou Bai, now everything else should be set aside for this war."
Zhou Bai exhaled a breath, "I understand." He rubbed his brow and slowly said, "Let's do as you say."
...
In fact, before Qian Wangsun persuaded Zhou Bai, the cha he controlled had already descended upon Nanshan City, transforming into a breeze, passing through courtyards and arrays, and entering a room.
There in the center of the room was a seated corpse.
At that mont, the Mysterious Maiden was pressing a hand against the corpse's head, her mouth moving as if softly muttering sothing.
Faced with this eerie scene, Qian Wangsun controlled the cha to reform into his form, looking at the Mysterious Maiden and saying, "Long ti no see, Mysterious Maiden."
The Mysterious Maiden slowly turned around and coldly said, "Qian Wangsun?"
Seeing the intense hostility on the Mysterious Maiden's face and her ready-to-act posture, Qian Wangsun quickly said, "I'm not here to fight you, I'm here to help you."
The Mysterious Maiden ignored him, grabbing the cha's head and checking the area covering a kiloter to make sure there were no other intruders before looking at Qian Wangsun and saying, "What is your purpose in controlling the Heavenly Demon to co here?"
The Mysterious Maiden had once collaborated with the Heavenly Demon, so the cha controlled by Qian Wangsun was recognized by her, which is why she didn't imdiately destroy it.
Qian Wangsun said, "In two months, the Supre Heavenly Venerate will cleanse the entire planet. Whether it's you, the aberrations, or other humans and demons, they will all be annihilated by him, becoming stepping stones for his realm elevation."
"I hope to unite the powers of humans, demons, and aberrations to confront the Supre Heavenly Venerate together."
Upon hearing these words, the Mysterious Maiden sneered, "Unite with aberrations? Hahaha, you would unite with aberrations? You're probably thinking of using before killing , right?"
Qian Wangsun said, "How could that be? If you join us in defeating the Supre Heavenly Venerate, with your wisdom, as long as you no longer threaten Earth humans, we could try to accept you."
The Mysterious Maiden did not believe Qian Wangsun's words at all. In her eyes, Qian Wangsun was the sa type as Zhou Bai, soone who had deceived her before.
Moreover, she was well aware that humans and aberrations had a deep-seated enmity. In her view, the two sides were irreconcilable, and the idea of peaceful coexistence was impossible.
Seeing the Mysterious Maiden's unimpressed look, Qian Wangsun thought to himself: 'This guy has been deceived by Zhou Bai so many tis. Has she been deceived into gaining experience? But...'
Qian Wangsun's eyes flickered with the shadows of the future, and he sighed inside, 'So words... even if she knows they might be lies, will still influence her choice.'
'I must defeat the Supre Heavenly Venerate, no matter what the cost.'
Controlling the cha, Qian Wangsun said, "Mysterious Maiden, Zhou Bai asked to find you. He misses you."
