The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

When Gu Ran saw Xue Yingsong standing there, calm and collected, as if he were an outsider, he was basically certain that this extraterrestrial alien invasion was related to him.

This is completely different from the snow-covered pine tree of the past!

Gu Ran stood in the sky, unleashing his mental power, and shredded all the tentacles around him.

But then, another enormous hand descended from the sky, landing right above Gu Ran's head.

It was like a small mountain; all the mental energy that touched it was like tofu hitting a stone pillar, completely helpless.

This enormous tentacle seemed poised to crush Gu Ran to pieces!

He placed his right hand on the sword and suddenly pulled it out.

Silent and without a sound, not even a flash of sword light.

The enormous tentacle immediately split in two.

But this is not the end.

The sword light continued to flash the next moment.

Then, chunks of meat began to rain down from the sky.

Gu Ran sliced ​​the enormous tentacle into countless pieces of flesh in an instant.

These enormous tentacles were indeed very hard, but not as hard as the sword in Gu Ran's hand.

After dealing with the giant tentacle that wanted to crush him, Gu Ran gazed in the direction of Xue Yingsong.

Xue Yingsong's body moved without wind, and she flew rapidly toward this side.

When he arrived at Canglong City, the tentacles seemed to come alive, and they all retreated to the sides, making way for Xue Yingsong.

Gu Ran kept her eyes fixed on Xue Yingsong.

He didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with disappointment, anger, and confusion.

"Ask me any questions you have now, before I'm in the mood to answer them."

A tentacle suddenly pierced Xue Yingsong's back, his body jolted, and then returned to calm.

"Why?" Gu Ran looked up at him. "Do you know how many people died today?"

Xue Yingsong looked down at the Canglong City, which was in agony, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but that sadness was fleeting.

"Everyone has to die. If it's not today, it's tomorrow, or it's the day after tomorrow. No human being can escape death."

"Moreover, death is not their final destination; they merely... have stepped out of time."

"Heh." Gu Ran said with a cold laugh, "So, my dear Principal, how important are Canglong City, Lanxin University, and Xi Ling to you?"

stab.

Another tentacle pierced the back of the snow-welcoming pine.

Xue Yingsong's body trembled, but he quickly recovered.

"Of course they are important. Canglong City is where I was born and raised, Lanxin University is the career I have dedicated my life to, and Xiaoling is my only family. They are the most important things in my life."

"But your actions have destroyed Canglong City, where you were born and raised, Lanxin University, where you dedicated your life, and Xiling... You have also destroyed the glorious and great image of your father in her heart."

Gu Ran said coldly, "Is this how you treat the things that are most important to you? Destroy them?"

Xue Yingsong shook his head: "Do you think that Canglong City wouldn't suffer disaster without me? No matter what, disaster will inevitably befall Canglong City, and at that time, the outcome will be no different from now."

"Since the ultimate result is destruction, I might as well take the lead. If you want to hate me, then hate me."

266. Xue Yingsong's Strategy! The Secrets of the First Chief Executive of the Human Alliance! 4k

Xue Yingsong's words startled Gu Ran.

"Are you saying that Azure Dragon City is doomed to destruction? What's your basis for that?" Gu Ran asked.

Suddenly, Gu Ran remembered Cheng Caimeng's "predictive" ability.

Did Xueyingsong also... "foresee" the future?

"You foresaw the future?" Gu Ran blurted out. "The future you told me back then was wrong? The real future is the destruction of Canglong City?"

Xue Yingsong nodded slightly, then shook his head: "It's not entirely wrong. The future is dynamic; there can be many different futures."

“Every fluctuation of the slightest instability in the past may lead to changes in the future.”

Gu Ran frowned: "Since the future is not certain, but can be changed, why are you so certain that Canglong City is destined to be destroyed? The destruction of Canglong City is just one possibility of the future you foresee. Why don't we try to change this bad future?"

"If you give up on yourself like this, even if the future was heading in a good direction, it will turn around because of you and head back towards destruction. If you take a positive approach and do everything you can to protect yourself, even if you fail, you will have done your best and have no regrets, right?"

puff.

Another tentacle pierced the back of the snow-welcoming pine, and gorgeous patterns began to grow where the tentacle pierced.

This time, Xue Yingsong's body did not tremble at all, as if it were just an ordinary thing.

Xue Yingsong laughed: "Haha, that's really the passionate talk of a young person. Although there are indeed many possibilities for the future, there is one main factor that dominates the future's direction. No matter how local factors change, or how the future changes, the changes in the future will never exceed a certain range."

"I haven't figured out what this main factor is yet, but I have a guess: it's the rules of the world, the rules of the world that govern destruction. Just like the changing seasons, just like the laws governing the operation of all things in the world."

"Destruction is part of the world's rules; it's the inevitable end that the world will face!"

At this point, Xue Yingsong looked at Gu Ran and suddenly sighed: "You also have the 'Ark Core,' so you should have seen the scenes recorded inside, right? No matter what efforts humanity makes, the fate of humanity and the world is only one—destruction!"

"However, you don't know about the images in the 'Ark Core' in my hands. The Human Alliance, which now seems like a mere decoration, actually played a crucial role in the past. It united all of humanity and built an unbreakable defense line in outer space. It was the pinnacle of human technology and art."

"But unfortunately, it failed."

A shadow of gloom flashed in Xue Yingsong's eyes.

"Even if humanity has done everything it can to the best of its ability, it is all in vain."

"Because they are fighting against the world!"

"Heh, no matter how powerful humans are, they have their limits. Faced with the rules of this world, they are nothing but ants."

Has an impregnable defense been built in outer space?

Could it be...

Gu Ran's heart suddenly stirred.

He recalled the memories he had before he "woke up".

So those were the images recorded in the "Ark Core" in Xue Yingsong's hands?

So that was the first General Administrator of the Human Alliance?

But why is there no record of him in history, just because he was "the destined one"?

So, like other "destined people," they eliminated the vast majority of traces?

And, there is another problem.

Gu Ran: "If what you say is true, that humanity was once utterly defeated and the world was destroyed as a result, then we should all cease to exist now. There would be no you, Xue Yingsong, nor me, Gu Ran."

If the world was destroyed many years ago, how could there be such "descendants" as them?

"Haha, good question. Indeed, if the world was really destroyed when the Human Alliance was established more than a thousand years ago, then how could there be more than a thousand years of human history? This is something that I have been puzzled by for a long time."

With a laugh, another tentacle pierced Xue Yingsong's body, but this time it wasn't on his back, but on his side.

After the puncture, the wound, like before, spread with intricate patterns.

"It wasn't until recently that I saw the last few images of the 'Ark Core,' and I finally understood why the world was still able to continue, and why all the records from that time are now lost, and even the Human Alliance has become a useless decoration."

As Xue Yingsong spoke, another tentacle pierced his body, and his upper body was almost completely occupied by the tentacle.

Beneath each tentacle lies an incredibly intricate network of patterns, enough to chill the heart at first glance.

Those tentacles, like pipes, bulged from time to time, heading towards Xue Yingsong's body, transporting something into his body.

Gu Ran frowned slightly. He knew that Xue Yingsong was probably stalling for time and carrying out a plan that he was unaware of.

However, the information Xue Yingsong mentioned was exactly what he didn't know and was very interested in.

So he didn't interrupt Xue Yingsong.

Moreover, he was actually building up his strength.

He believed that Xue Yingsong could also see that he was gathering his strength, but perhaps Xue Yingsong was overconfident, he did not stop Gu Ran.

Boom——

A tall building in Canglong City collapsed to the ground.

Azure Dragon City was now like a living hell, with raging fire, death, and bloodshed constantly assaulting the eyes.

High in the sky, all was quiet around Gu Ran and Xue Yingsong.

The alien species seemed to know that this was not a place for them, and they all took a detour.

Humans... are scattered like stars throughout Azure Dragon City, each resisting on their own.

They could have played an even greater role as before.

However, now that they have dispersed to resist, they are completely surrounded by the alien species.

Now that Gu Ran has been tied up, no one can organize them again.
