This villain is too popular.

Chapter 132: A Slightly Somber 'Heartfelt Intention'

"Xing, when you came, no one was following you on the way, right?"

Tiandao took out two bottles of Deep Blue Metropolis's signature soda, Blue Mountain City, from the refrigerator next to the living room.

He then casually tossed one of the bottles to Chenxing, who was sitting on the sofa not far away.

Dust Star caught the soda and twisted the cap open with a 'pop'.

After taking two gulps, he wiped his mouth and said, "Tiandao, don't treat me like an idiot. You should know that back in the base, my theoretical scores were second only to you and Caroline, and even surpassed that idiot Liuli by more than ten places."

"Too."

Tiandao walked behind the sofa, placed his hands on the backrest, and gently tapped the fabric with his fingertips.

"Although it's a bit troublesome if you catch me, it won't have much of an impact on me if it's just you."

"You could even say that with you, some things that originally required some effort to accomplish have become much simpler."

After saying that, Tiandao took a sip of his Blue Mountain City beer and said with a smile, "You should know that your younger brother Chen Kong is here, right?"

Dust Star nodded.

"Yes, I knew about it a few years ago. After all, I discovered a long time ago that his quantum leap had a problem and had deviated from the original intended path."

“But in the past few years, we children of the stars had to keep a low profile and couldn’t show our faces in the Federation at will, which is why we haven’t been looking for him.”

"It wasn't until four years ago, when Grand Master Ennet announced the destruction of the Ember Base and the death of Doctor Dragon, that those guys dropped their arrest warrants against us."

Chen Xing paused, then frowned slightly and said, "There's just one thing I'm curious about."

Before Chenxing could finish speaking, Tiandao interrupted with a smile, "I'm curious why Ennet would specifically stand up for us, the Children of the Stars, and warn those guys not to use us for human experiments."

"And another thing... why didn't they remove my arrest warrant, right?"

"Ah."

Tiandao walked up to the sofa and plopped down on it.

He gazed at the Blue Mountain City in his hand, which was constantly emitting blue bubbles.

His pale blue eyes inexplicably became deep and profound.

"Star, have you ever heard of the twelve miracle stones?"

"That's natural, after all, the foundation of the Lieyang family comes from a certain miracle stone."

"In that case, you should also know that there have only been five Miracle Stones in the history of the New Federation so far."

After hearing Tiandao's words, Chenxing grasped the core of the problem after a moment of thought.

He suddenly realized, "You mean, the core reason that led to the destruction of the base six years ago was that those iron lumps from the Iron Dome family wanted to find the Miracle Stone in the Doctor's possession."

"In addition, the reason why the Iron Dome family has been unwilling to remove your arrest warrant is probably because they are worried that you might be sheltered by some family and then leak the news that the Doctor has the Miracle Stone, right?"

“Smart, Star, your intuition is as sharp as ever, and as...unreasonable as ever.”

After confirming these things, Chen Xing frowned and said, "If what you say is true, then I think I know why you disguised your identity and part of your plan."

"Oh? Tell me."

Tiandao looked at Chenxing curiously, wanting to know what she had guessed.

This wasn't something Tiandao was faking; he genuinely wanted to know just how exaggerated Chenxing's 'Demon Star Intuition' could be.

"Heavenly Dao, if I'm not mistaken, the reason those guys from the Iron Dome family are relentlessly pursuing you is because they received confirmation that you know the whereabouts of the Miracle Stone."

"Secondly, they suspect that the Miracle Stone in the Doctor's possession may very well be in your hands."

"So they have to do everything they can to find you, while trying their best not to arouse suspicion from others."

"And keeping your arrest warrant is undoubtedly the best cover and explanation for their actions."

"That's right, is there anything else?"

The Heavenly Dao nodded, then gestured for Chen Xing to continue.

Because what she said was indeed the reason why Tiandao had to continue pretending in the second season.

After all, he wasn't afraid of those iron lumps from the Iron Dome family.

But if these guys show up too early...

That would undoubtedly cause great damage to the current storyline.

This will affect the Heavenly Dao's control over the subsequent plot.

"Furthermore, if you want to get out of this situation knowing that there is a threat from the Iron Dome family, you either need to seek the protection of one of the four great families or the protection of some old guy."

"If it were only the former, I don't think you would have remained so reluctant to show your face until now. After all, based on my understanding of you, you are not the kind of person who likes to put your fate in the hands of others."

"So I guess you want to demonstrate your value, let President Ennet see your potential, and then choose you as his successor, so you can get rid of those troublesome guys and even compete with them?"

Heaven smiled and said, "So sure?"

Looking at the seemingly amused Tiandao, Chenxing's lips curled into a smile. She vigorously tossed her high ponytail, her tone tinged with a hint of pride.

"Heavenly Dao, you seem to underestimate me, who has been chasing after your shadow all along."

"Caroline isn't the only one in this world who understands you; I do too."

“I am well aware of your ambition, and I also understand just how terrifying the mindset hidden beneath your exaggerated talent truly is.”

“You never compromise, and you never learn to compromise. You only accept that everything should develop according to your own ideas, and you are so proud and certain that things should develop in this way that you will not accept any other changes.” Tiandao interrupted, “But didn’t you bring me an unexpected change? After all, I didn’t expect your intuition to be so exaggerated.”

Chen Xing put away his smile and said seriously, "A perfect plan is not about completely controlling everything, but about being able to control every possible unexpected event."

"And ensure that you have sufficient error correction capabilities so that the plan can proceed smoothly under any circumstances."

"There has never been an omniscient and omnipotent being in this world. If there were, it could only be a 'god'."

"Heavenly Dao, I bet you've already made contingency plans and seriously considered what to do if your identity is discovered beforehand, right?"

"So this 'accident' you mentioned is just a minor, slightly troublesome episode for you, and it won't really affect what you're going to do."

Hearing this, Tiandao couldn't help but sigh, "Xing, your intuition is truly enviable. It's like you can choose the only correct answer from a vast number of options without even having to think."

Chen Xing shook his head and looked at Tian Dao again, staring directly into his azure eyes, and said seriously, "You are wrong, Tian Dao. I am not choosing the only answer, but I will only choose those answers that will not make me regret it."

"Only in this way can I achieve the same result no matter how many times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times I try."

Even if this choice is destined to lead to the abyss, I will still step into it without hesitation.

"Because this is the only decision I've ever made, one I will never regret."

"Should we only follow our intuition and gut feeling?"

Tiandao sighed.

Because things had come to this point, he finally understood exactly what Chenxing's 'Demon Star Intuition' was.

Simply put, what DustStar calls 'intuition' is essentially about disregarding the future 'outcome'.

She only makes choices that won't make her 'regret'.

Whether this choice was right or wrong, and where the future would lead, was no longer important to her.

Because it's more important than the outcome of the choice.

Making this choice was, in itself, the 'right' decision for her.

This is what Duststar is pursuing.

As for why Dust Star at the base didn't exhibit this terrifying intuition back then.

The Heavenly Dao speculated that perhaps it was because she had not yet realized her true nature at that time.

In other words, it was only after experiencing a crucial turning point that Chenxing finally understood what he wanted.

And he awakened this terrifying 'demon star intuition'.

Although somewhat curious about the cause, Heaven ultimately chose not to delve into it.

It's not that he didn't guess what the opportunity was, he just didn't really want to know.

After all, if some things are really said out loud, then things can get a bit complicated.

Therefore, Tiandao pretended not to understand these things and changed the subject, saying, "Xing, since you have already guessed my plan, then I would like to trouble you to help me solve some problems that I am not comfortable solving myself."

"After all, if my deduction is correct, your brother and the girl who was accidentally caught up in the power struggle will soon unleash a terrifying storm in this seemingly progressive but actually stubborn and corrupt steam city."

"Because some people, in order to hold onto their power, are willing to give away the key to miracles as a bargaining chip."

"But this might put Kong in some danger."

Hearing these words, Chen Xing calmly said, "It doesn't matter. If Kong Lian can't even withstand a storm like this, then it means he hasn't grown up yet."

“But I can’t protect him forever; he has to find a way to protect himself.”

Tiandao looked at her, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Is that so? But I feel like I heard something similar from someone six years ago, only the outcome was different."

"Heavenly Dao!"

Before Tiandao could finish speaking, Chenxing interrupted him, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Then he didn't give the Heavenly Dao a chance to laugh at him.

Chen Xing stood up and prepared to leave.

But when he reached the door, Chen Xing stopped and looked at Tian Dao with a serious expression, saying, "Tian Dao, I will help you remove those obstacles until the day I completely gain your approval."

After saying that, Chenxing pushed open the door and went out.

As he watched Chen Xing's retreating figure, the smile on Tian Dao's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became complicated.

Because he sensed some hidden meaning in Chenxing's words.

What she wants is not just simple recognition.

If you really let her do too much, then what you owe her won't be so easy to repay.

After all, the debt of gratitude is much more troublesome than the debt of popularity in the popularity system.

Tiandao sighed softly, then picked up the soda in his hand and took a big gulp.

The icy liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn't suppress the inexplicable unease in Tiandao's heart at that moment.

For the first time, the Heavenly Dao, which loves to control everything, felt a sense of urgency and pressure.

However, this thorny issue and pressure is not something that can be easily resolved with strength alone.

That's troublesome.
