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

"It's no use. No matter how you dodge, as long as you're within the domain of this Touch of Rules, you can't escape it, because it's this world that's attacking you!"

"Gu Ran, I don't know why you, and all the other destined ones, are rejected by the world. Is it because you are all too powerful? So powerful that the world's rules can no longer tolerate you?"

"I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to give you this answer, because by the time I integrate into the world's rules, you will have already been killed by me. To kill one's own designated successor, to kill one's own son-in-law, is, I must say, a truly heartbreaking thing."

"But compared to the future of the entire Azure Dragon City and the entire human world, personal suffering seems so insignificant."

Xue Yingsong spoke in the tone of a martyr.

Gu Ran continued to pull out the tentacle from his body without expression.

He looked up at Xue Yingsong and said, "Actually, I'm very curious. You weren't really that confident that you could succeed, were you? In order to pursue that elusive opportunity, you sacrificed the entire Canglong City, with its four hundred million inhabitants."

"What if you ultimately fail? That's probably the most likely outcome, isn't it? Perhaps extraterrestrial beings will continue to descend and destroy the world, and humanity won't be able to escape and will be wiped out. But that's all in the future. In the meantime, they can still live peacefully and enjoy their lives, right?"

"But you deprived them of this power. If you were very confident, I would have nothing to say, but you yourself said it was a very slim chance. Just for such a small opportunity, you betrayed the trust of the four hundred million people of Canglong City?"

Xue Yingsong said expressionlessly, "But this is the only way, and the only way is the best way, isn't it? Rather than waiting to die, we might as well take a gamble."

"Hahaha, good, good indeed. Rather than sit and wait to die, it's better to take a gamble. But my dear headmaster, how can you be so sure that humanity won't find other ways to save the world in the future?" Gu Ran sneered a few times. "And how can you be so sure that I'll obediently let you kill me?"

Xue Yingsong: "Humanity under the leadership of the first Grand Ruler couldn't find another way to save the world, so how can humanity, now fragmented, possibly do it? I certainly don't believe it. As for you, Gu Ran, I know you'll definitely resist. After all, it's perfectly normal for you to resist when I'm trying to kill you."

"I know you. You are an even more idealistic idealist than I am. I am really curious about what kind of environment can cultivate an idealist like you. Have you never been hit by reality? Have you never had any negative thoughts about real life?"

"Your overly idealistic nature fosters optimism, always looking on the bright side of things. But reality is harsh. For example, right now, you might believe you are incredibly capable and can still turn the tables on others."

"But this time, your success or failure has nothing to do with how strong you are, because to be precise, your enemy is not me, but the rules of this world. No matter how strong you are, you are no match for the rules of this world."

The next second, the number of tentacles doubled and stabbed at Gu Ran.

Compared to the negligible amount of psychic power that had just been absorbed, this time, Gu Ran could clearly feel that the psychic power in his body had decreased by several times, and it was already able to give him a concrete sense of reality.

Gu Ran pulled out all the tentacles from his body once again.

If this continues, his mental energy will be drained sooner or later.

Why are you trying to absorb my mental energy?

Gu Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Is he afraid of me?!

Right, telekinesis is the bridge to integrating into the world's rules, so the two of us should have an equal chance in this matter. Is he afraid that I will also integrate into the world's rules and take away his opportunity, so he uses this method to neutralize my telekinesis?

However, after thinking it over, Gu Ran did not try to seize the opportunity from Xue Yingsong.

He always felt there was something strange about this matter.

Gu Ran tried to find opportunities to see if there were other ways to improve her situation.

This time, Gu Ran didn't wait for Xue Yingsong to make a move; he took the initiative and attacked Xue Yingsong first.

He smashed all the tentacles that were blocking his way with a single punch, and he seemed to arrive in front of Xue Yingsong without any hindrance.

Then, Gu Ran threw a punch at Xue Yingsong.

He didn't hold back with this punch; he used all his strength.

If it were the Xue Yingsong of the past, being hit like that by him would definitely be dead beyond any doubt.

Because the Xue Yingsong of the past was not actually very strong, and his physical strength was even inferior to that of a martial artist who had reached the Qi Condensation stage.

However, he couldn't be sure just how strong Xue Yingsong was or how much physical strength he could achieve.

Gu Ran's all-out attack did not result in any real contact.

As his fist passed through Xue Yingsong's body, Xue Yingsong's body turned into a phantom and slowly disappeared.

Do you know what the rules of the world are?

Xue Yingsong's voice rang out from the other side.

"In general, this is a very broad concept. The division of day and night is a world rule, the changing of cold and heat is a world rule, the rise and fall of tides is a world rule, the blooming and withering of flowers is a world rule, and the birth, aging, sickness and death of people are also world rules."

"The rules of the world encompass the entire destiny of everything in the world, but it seems that they do not include the destiny of the destined person. You are like people who do not belong to this world, and the world rejects you."

Countless tentacles shot towards Gu Ran like a rain of arrows.

Gu Ran moved, using his mental power to condense a barrier in front of him, and then rushed towards Xue Yingsong.

However, those tentacles could absorb psychic energy and easily pierce through the psychic energy barrier before penetrating Gu Ran's body.

When Gu Ran rushed to Xue Yingsong despite the risk of injury, he found that Xue Yingsong had turned into a phantom again.

If viewed from a distance, it would appear as if Gu Ran were out there battling wits with thin air.

However, despite several failed attacks, Gu Ran remained surprisingly calm.

He realized that Xue Yingsong might have been holding these words in for too long, or perhaps she felt that he, her successor, was about to be killed, so she was very eager to express herself.

Xue Yingsong's attacks were actually just minor injuries to him.

He knew that the time for their real life-or-death struggle had not yet come.

Currently, it can only be considered a testing phase for the two to gauge each other's true strength.

"But you were also the pride of your time. In the era in which you appeared, no one could overshadow your brilliance. You were the only sun of that era."

"What's strange is that every era in which you shines will inevitably come to an end without a trace, leaving behind only a few words in the future. It is these few words that have kept me searching for decades."

"Because you hold the true secrets of this world within you. If I can figure out the secrets within you, then I should also be able to figure out the most difficult superpower in the world to study—time."

Gu Ran had been listening silently. He suddenly spoke up and said, "You are following the trajectory of the destined person in history, but in reality, it is still for your daughter. Lanxin University and Canglong City can only be ranked second and third in your heart. So after you learned that summoning extraterrestrial aliens would give you a chance to integrate into the world's rules, you did not hesitate to carry out this plan. Because in your heart, your daughter is still more important."

......

From the moment Xue Yingsong and Gu Ran began their face-to-face conversation, Xue Xiling's eyes were filled with disbelief.

She never imagined that everything back then was actually done by her father.

She didn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it!

In her heart, her father has always been a protector of her and a hero of Lanxin University.

How could my father do such a thing?

How could a father possibly ruin the culmination of his life's work?

However, when Gu Ran revealed Xue Yingsong's motives, Xue Xiling was stunned.

She never imagined that a large part of the reason her father did this was because of her.

The other powerful figures present were also speechless.

At that moment, they were all at a loss for words; it was completely unexpected.

Moreover, what Xue Yingsong said on the screen was quite explosive, as it contained information they had not known before.

At this moment, they couldn't help but feel somewhat bewildered.

I had no choice but to continue looking at the content on the screen.

......

Xue Yingsong paused for a moment when faced with Gu Ran's question.

"Perhaps so, but isn't it only natural to value those closest to us more?"

Xue Yingsong did not deny Gu Ran's words; instead, she readily admitted them.

At the same time, his attack was swift and decisive, absorbing another portion of Gu Ran's psychic power.

At this moment, Gu Ran's body was covered in blood.

This scene is almost identical to the scene that Cheng Caimeng "foresaw".

Could Cheng Caimeng's precognitive abilities be real?

Did he and she actually become a couple later on?

After Gu Ran pulled the tentacles out of his body, he vaguely remembered what Cheng Caimeng had said to him before.

Crushing the tentacles, Gu Ran's psychic power instantly filled the surrounding space, this time not a flat tiling, but a three-dimensional filling.

He didn't believe that Xue Yingsong could really appear in any location silently and without leaving a trace.

Gu Ran said, "Since you have placed your family affection above Lanxin University and Canglong City, then aren't you letting down Lanxin University, which nurtured you, and Canglong City, which gave you birth and raised you? Please ask yourself, Principal, are you worthy of the predecessors of Lanxin University? Are you worthy of the ancestors of Canglong City?"

Gu Ran's righteous and awe-inspiring questioning of Xue Yingsong was intended to shake the other party's resolve and also to destroy his spirit.

Because this is indeed the place that Xueyingsong least wants to touch in his heart.

Even if Xue Yingsong is resolute, if he wavers even slightly, he will have achieved his goal.

In the instant Xue Yingsong fell silent, Gu Ran suddenly launched an attack.

Unsurprisingly, Xue Yingsong disappeared from his spot again before Gu Ran could attack him.

"This way!"

However, Gu Ran did not stop this time. Instead, he moved to the next spot and threw a punch.

This place is just an ordinary space, without the presence of Xueyingsong.
