Chapter 945: Chapter 79: Tang Xian and Qi Yuan Join Forces_2
“What… what is going on here?”
Tang Jingxin prided himself on being an Observer, soone who had seen it all. But this situation? This, he had never seen before.
Reverse aging? Rebirth?
As the aged Tang Xian transford back into the form Tang Jing was most familiar with, Tang Jing took a step back and said:
“Who… are you?”
“Don’t recognize ? Could Qi Yuan have gotten it wrong?” Tang Xian touched the contours of his face.
Just then, an influx of information surged into view.
On the screens within the Observer’s chamber, all the data materialized directly in Tang Xian’s mind.
But Tang Xian handled it easily, as if these ssages were always ant for him.
Tang Jing could hear the voice—it still sounded like Tang Xian.
He was stunned—could the Master of Eden have turned into Tang Xian as well? And the Order Maker too?
Seeing Tang Jing’s obvious bewildernt, Tang Xian didn’t beat around the bush.
“I’ll tell you what happened.”
“You’re… my brother?”
“It’s .”
“What’s actually going on? Are you an Angel Envoy now?”
Tang Xian shook his head and said:
“No. To be precise, I’m a level above an Angel Envoy. It’s not a complicated story. Do you rember our eting with Qi Yuan in Baichuan City six months ago?”
Tang Jing nodded.
That was when Tang Xian had just discovered the high tower of the Master of Eden on the eastern sea island. Shortly after, Qi Yuan ca to Baichuan City and opened a fortune-telling shop.
Everything felt like it happened just yesterday, yet so much ti had passed.
Tang Xian continued:
“At that ti, I discussed many matters with Qi Yuan. Upon learning that the Master of Eden might actually be , I didn’t know how to react. All the Beast God inheritances I’d been collecting were, in truth, ant for the Master of Eden. The realization of being manipulated like that disgusted . For the first ti in my life, I felt an overwhelming sense of fear toward soone.”
“Afterward, Qi Yuan ca to Baichuan City. During our conversation, I was certain the Master of Eden posed the greatest threat yet. Its sches were grand, and as it turns out, its goal was not rely to rule humanity—it was to beco the new rule itself.”
Tang Jing struggled to grasp the Master of Eden’s true intentions. How had his brother figured this out?
Still, he didn’t interrupt but listened attentively.
“I wasn’t rely discussing counterasures with Qi Yuan at the ti. To put it simply—we ford an alliance. But to all of you, it probably just appeared to be a ceasefire agreent. In truth, Qi Yuan and I secretly devised a plan, hidden from you all.”
“What kind of plan?”
“If it’s a collaboration, naturally a shared goal must be established. So when Qi Yuan returned to the Divine Throne, I also went to the Divine Throne.”
Tang Jing pondered briefly and understood.
After the discussion, Tang Xian indeed left Baichuan City shortly thereafter. But instead of going to the mining district as everyone believed, he actually t Qi Yuan again for secret talks after everyone assud their agreent was finalized.
As for why he kept it hidden from others—that was Tang Xian’s own calculation.
“If the Master of Eden is truly myself, then how can I deceive it? The only way is to deceive myself. To do that, I must leave behind a contingency plan with Qi Yuan, but it must be hidden even from . If I can’t retain the mory of it, then Qi Yuan must not have it either, nor can anyone else. Only then could we truly fool heaven and earth.”
“And now it can be revealed?”
“Now it can.”
Tang Xian looked at his renewed body and stared at his palms, remarking:
“At first, all I knew was the concept of duality—a single entity with two expressions. But I didn’t believe in this so-called duality. Instead, I chose to deduce the Master of Eden’s nature from Qi Yuan’s actions.”
“Qi Yuan’s actions?”
“Precisely. We cannot overlook one crucial piece of information. Qi Yuan was not originally human. So where does the concept of seeking vessels originate? Who inspired Qi Yuan? Of course, it’s the Master of Eden. Thus, I’m more inclined to believe that I am a vessel for the Master of Eden. Within lies the Eden Core. This wasn’t a gift bestowed upon humanity by the Master of Eden—it’s simply cultivating itself. If I am rely a vessel, then I must find a way to escape this role.”
“So Brother joined forces with Qi Yuan to create a new physical body?”
“Yes. The seven chambers—actually, the final chamber was empty. Originally, Qi Yuan planned to create a vessel of solely as a distraction for all of you. But Qi Yuan didn’t have my data. Before the Divine Kingdom finished gathering it, I escaped. Now that I’ve willingly co forward, creating a replica of is no challenge for Qi Yuan.”
Tang Jing identified the critical issue. With a furrowed brow, he asked:
“A physical body can be replicated—but what about consciousness? If you are truly my brother, then is the Master of Eden occupying a fake? And how could a fake deceive it?”
Tang Jing felt like there were still many gaps he couldn’t logically piece together.
For instance, why had Tang Xian undergone this reverse aging? If the Order Maker had manufactured Tang Xian’s body, why wasn’t it supplied with energy like other vessels? Why was the body allowed to decay inside the chambers?
Tang Xian explained:
“The body I am in now is, of course, not mine. This is a vessel created by Qi Yuan using my data. Just as Qi Yuan had once used my mother’s younger sister as a vessel.”
“The Eden Core cannot be duplicated, nor can consciousness. If my consciousness were not routed through the Divine Kingdom into this vessel, this body would remain in permanent slumber. Because it lacks a soul.”
