The thoughts and mories of the Craftsman God had long been suppressed.
When they suddenly returned, it actually gave rise to a case of split personality.
And among his personalities, one of them turned out to be the “Evil Wolf” created through brainwashing by the Wolf Pack!
This was extrely dangerous.
Jiang He had no doubt that if not for the effect of talents preventing Heroic Spirits from threatening their Masters... the Evil Wolf Craftsman God would definitely have taken the initiative to act, completely controlling him, and handing him over to the Wolf Pack on a silver platter...
That would have been far too much to bear.
Fortunately, the other personality of the Craftsman God had already awakened free will, and had chosen to resist the Wolf Pack—the “White Wolf.”
At this mont, he was struggling against the Evil Wolf personality for control of the body.
Normally, two personalities without a dominant side would be locked in stalemate, making it impossible to determine a winner.
The Craftsman God could very well have fallen into chaos, or even collapsed ntally.
Thankfully, Jiang He was there as the “referee.”
Using the authority of the Master, he directly granted the White Wolf personality control over the body, helping him suppress the Evil Wolf personality.
When the White Wolf finally took full control, he let out a sigh of relief and said gratefully: “Thank you.”
“I am you. This is just self-rescue,” Jiang He also relaxed.
Compared to the beginning, now that he had retrieved his mories, the Craftsman God could finally be considered a “normal Heroic Spirit” summoned into being.
However, at this very mont, the “Evil Wolf personality” still remained within the Craftsman God.
This was undoubtedly a hidden danger.
Jiang He asked: “And your other personality? How do we get rid of him… we can’t just keep suppressing him forever, right?”
“The other ...” The White Wolf Craftsman God walked past the living room, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed at the brightly lit residential area shrouded in nightfall, lost in thought.
Listening to the angry howls of the Evil Wolf within his mind, he said: “Give him so ti.”
Jiang He was puzzled: “Hmm?”
“After all, he is still us.”
“He is the one who was always locked in a cage, never seeing the vastness of the world.”
“No matter if he is torn apart, no matter if he forgets once more, as long as he is given the chance, he will eventually recall the past.”
“He will beco .”
The White Wolf Craftsman God turned his head and winked at Jiang He.
“Besides, my ‘mory’ remained at A-rank. After being controlled by the Wolf King, I lost consciousness...”
“He is the one who continued growing, the one who broke through S-rank and X-rank.”
“...”
Indeed!
If one calculated according to mory and personality—
The Evil Wolf Craftsman God who worshiped the Wolf Pack was the one nurtured by the Wolf King to beco the “God of Creation.”
Only by awakening the Evil Wolf, and rging the two personalities into one...
Could the final personality truly beco the genuine “Craftsman God”!
Jiang He suddenly understood.
The White Wolf Craftsman God wanted to give the Evil Wolf ti, clearly in order to retrace his past experiences.
He wanted to awaken the Evil Wolf’s past and mories without ntal interference, and awaken his inner self-recognition toward “Jiang He.”
In other words, it was the thod of mory stimulation.
But since that was the case...
Was it really necessary to be so complicated?
Who in this world could possibly understand Jiang He better than himself?
Jiang He confidently said: “Co with .”
…
The White Wolf Craftsman God followed Jiang He out, turning corners along the road and walking farther and farther.
He was very curious—what thod had his past self used to awaken himself?
First they were at ho, and now they were heading toward the school?
He didn’t seem to have any other places of deep impression...
Just as the White Wolf Craftsman God wondered, he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery along the roadside, and suddenly felt a faint, inexplicable pounding of his heart.
rely walking this road, his heartbeat quickened, his emotions stirred.
At this mont, Jiang He stopped walking.
The White Wolf Craftsman God also stopped, and looked up at the unfamiliar building ahead, asking in confusion: “This is...”
“It’s normal that you don’t rember. This place has already been rebuilt, it’s long since no longer what it used to be.” Jiang He lifted his head, gazing at the towering building cloaked in night, as scenes appeared before his eyes.
He raised his hand, letting his ntal power spread out with Word-Spirit.
He spoke.
“『Recreate』”
This was the Word-Spirit once used by White Crane, which could “recreate the past scene using the world’s mory.”
But this ti, Jiang He did not use that effect.
Instead, he used his ntal power to restore his own mory.
Countless motes of dust gathered, forming into the shape of a gray building.
Below the building, three figures appeared—two tall, one short.
The next mont, the building collapsed.
The shorter figure was pushed backward, while boulders crashed down—
The White Wolf Craftsman God instinctively rushed forward, raising his hand to try and hold up the boulders.
But he could not stop these particles of dust, and could only watch as the dust-like boulders fell, burying the two figures.
He froze there in the dust, stunned in place.
This was...
“The scene of our parents’ death,” Jiang He said.
“Their cause of death—Transcendent Rampage.”
No way, bro.
Was this really how you awakened your own mories?
The White Wolf was dumbfounded, long-buried mories violently awakened, leaving him suffocated and speechless.
However, the effect was remarkable.
In his consciousness, the usually noisy Evil Wolf suddenly went silent, as though muted, unable to utter a single word.
No matter which “Jiang He” it was, this was their most painful mory.
And this was only the beginning.
Jiang He brought the White Wolf back to the bottom of the residential building and walked into 【Uncle Cui’s Cold Noodle Shop】.
It was ten o’clock at night, and Uncle Cui was just cleaning up, ready to close and go ho to rest.
Seeing Jiang He enter, he paused.
“Xiao He?”
“Uncle, a supersized bowl of cold noodles—the sa as the one from my birthday,” Jiang He said.
“Cold noodles again?” Uncle Cui set aside his towel and couldn’t help saying: “How many bowls have you eaten today already?”
Jiang He smiled: “That’s just because yours are so good.”
“Even if they’re good, you can’t eat that much.” Uncle Cui laughed and shook his head.
“Lucky for you, I’ve got so ingredients left. I’ll make you one, just wait...”
Before long, a large bowl was placed on the table: “Eat slowly, I’ll finish cleaning up.”
“Alright, Uncle, you go on.”
Jiang He watched Uncle Cui tidying up, then said to the Craftsman God: “Uncle Cui and cold noodles... after our parents passed, these were the closest person and the food we loved most.”
“Does the Wolf Pack have this?”
The White Wolf Craftsman God felt the Evil Wolf personality inside him showing a faint “longing.”
Before regaining his mory, he had already eaten a bowl of cold noodles.
Because of that, the taste was especially vivid.
And he was craving it again.
Just then, a voice called from outside the shop.
“Jiang He.”
The hidden Craftsman God instinctively turned his head.
There stood a red-haired young girl outside the shop.
She wore a loose shirt, her hair casually tied and draped over her shoulders, in a holy look.
This was...
Du Lingwei?
In the Craftsman God’s mory, the girl who shone like the stars now appeared before his eyes.
And she looked so familiar with him.
She stepped into the shop, sat across from Jiang He, and asked with puzzlent: “You sent a ssage to co over—what’s going on?”
“To treat you to a late-night snack.” Jiang He smiled, pushing the bowl forward.
“This is my favorite cold noodles, try them.”
Du Lingwei: “...”
Calling her out at night just to treat her to cold noodles?
This action was truly baffling.
However...
Looking at the big bowl of cold noodles, her appetite stirred.
Yesterday, when the Twisted Ti Domain had opened, she had spent nearly a month inside, just like Jiang He.
Even if Du Lingwei was diligent and self-disciplined, she was still a young girl.
After nearly a month of hard cultivation, she was exhausted.
From yesterday until now, she had been resting at ho, taking a proper break, which was why Jiang He had so easily reached her—one ssage, and she ca.
Now, her stomach growled, and her appetite surged.
“Thank you.”
Du Lingwei politely said, then picked up the chopsticks and began eating.
Jiang He sat beside her, and said to the Craftsman God: “This is Du Lingwei, soone very close to us.”
“In White Crane’s tiline, he wasn’t abducted by the Wolf Pack and didn’t beco the ‘Evil Wolf,’ but studied and grew in school... Many years later, Du Lingwei beca his wife.”
“White Crane’s wife was Du Lingwei?!”
The Craftsman God was stunned.
Previously, Jiang He had only briefly explained his talent and the other two Heroic Spirits.
He hadn’t gone into detail, let alone personal matters.
The Craftsman God never imagined his wife would be Du Lingwei!
“More precisely, it is ‘you all.’”
Jiang He said: “What you all experienced were similar possibilities, both with top-level talents.”
“If you hadn’t beco the Evil Wolf, you might have walked a similar path—”
“Marrying Du Lingwei, having children, becoming the city’s guardian, becoming a mber of the Council...”
“Instead of becoming the Evil Wolf, forever trapped in a sunless fortress, turned into nothing but a tool for creating Transcendent items.”
The Craftsman God fell into a daze.
So this was the future that should have been his, stolen away by the Wolf Pack?
At that mont, the sound of a bowl clinking against the table echoed.
The Craftsman God looked over, only to see Du Lingwei had already finished all the cold noodles, even drinking the broth, patting her stomach in satisfaction.
Jiang He handed her a napkin.
Du Lingwei blushed slightly, wiped her mouth, and said: “Thanks, it was really delicious.”
At that mont, the “Evil Wolf personality” quietly vanished.
Strictly speaking, the White Wolf was simply the Evil Wolf after awakening.
The two had now beco one.
The restored Craftsman God was left with only one thought, which he conveyed to Jiang He.
“I will exterminate the Wolf Pack... beginning from your era.”
