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

Gu Ran suddenly realized.

Moreover, he thought of even more things, not just the Abyss, but also the Celestial Realm, which was getting closer and closer to the human world.

The trend of the three realms merging has long been observed by scholars.

At that time, the barriers between the three realms will no longer exist, and people will be able to travel freely between them.

However, no one can accurately predict the exact time when the three realms will merge. Currently, scholars in the human world are optimistic about this, believing that the three realms will not truly merge within their generation at least.

So the beginning of the merging of the three realms was an event in the abyss more than 700 years ago, and it was related to spatial ability users?

This was unexpected by Gu Ran.

"The abyss events of over seven hundred years ago?" Lilith murmured. "It seems like I've seen records of them somewhere before?"

Suddenly, her expression changed: "Is it related to the Central Temple?"

Dracula glanced at Lilith with some surprise: "Is this a record of your succubus race? I didn't expect you to have remembered the contents of that time. This is forbidden by the Central Temple."

Lilith shook her head: "It was only mentioned briefly, not recorded in great detail. My brief mention was, 'There may be some changes at the Central Temple; the Endless Fire seems about to overflow. Do not leave the clan's territory for the next hundred years.'"

"Actually, that's where I learned about the Endless Fire, and that there was an Endless Fire at the bottom of the Filthy Cliff."

Gu Ran knew that Lilith's black flames were the endless fire at the bottom of the abyss. It seemed that she had gone through a story before she was able to control the endless fire like she did today.

"I see. It seems that your succubus ancestors reminded you that something did indeed happen at the Central Temple."

Dracula sighed and said, "If you've ever been to the Central Temple, you'll see that it's actually half destroyed; only half of it remains intact. And that half was destroyed more than seven hundred years ago."

"Is it related to that space-age ability user?" Gu Ran asked thoughtfully. "Then what he's waiting for is actually related to the Central Temple? And was the Central Temple destroyed by that space-age ability user?"

Dracula: "I don't know about that. The changes at the Central Temple were too terrible. I didn't dare to check the situation at the time. I only know that the entire Abyss was shaking, as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to sink. There was also a feeling that... it was as if the entire Abyss was wailing."

"Then half of the central temple was destroyed, and soon after that, the space ability user also left the abyss. Then the passage between the abyss and the human world became more isolated, but the world itself began to slowly approach each other."

"However, that incident did seem quite suspicious, and afterwards the number of divine pronouncements from the Central Temple increased."

It does seem to be related to that spatial ability user, and that spatial ability user is likely a destined person like him, otherwise, he wouldn't be so powerful.

No wonder Xue Yingsong sent him to the Abyss; it seems he was sent to investigate this spatial ability user.

If it is a destined person, then there is a high probability that it is a scheme orchestrated for a world-ending catastrophe.

Gu Ran had experienced the loneliness of having no equal in the world to some extent.

Something that can make the destined person plan for so long must be something significant.

Then only the apocalyptic natural disaster that constantly threatens to overtake us deserves this treatment.

Is there anything in the abyss related to the cataclysmic disaster?

Central Temple, Lord Sovereign, Pandora's Box...

"Interesting. I'll go check it out if I have the chance."

Gu Ran thought to himself.

Dracula was looking at Gu Ran as he spoke.

Seeing that Gu Ran seemed satisfied with his answer, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had just witnessed Gu Ran's ruthlessness, and he was still feeling lingering fear.

He really didn't want to experience that kind of torture again.

"Anything else?" Gu Ran thought for a while and decided to put it aside for now. The most important thing right now was to help Lilith open Pandora's Box.

"I don't really know much about what happened after that. I only know that the abyss trembled for a long time back then. It felt like... the abyss was a giant beast, but it was injured... and it kept howling. It was really terrifying."

A hint of lingering fear crossed Dracula's face.

Gu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

I don’t know if it’s because of his previous experiences, but now he has a special feeling for giant beasts and other strange creatures.

However, he did not interrupt Dracula.

Now is a time when Dracula has a strong urge to confide, so it's best to let him keep talking so we can hear more information.

"After that incident, the Abyss generally calmed down. Although half of the Central Temple was destroyed, no one dared to ask about it and simply pretended not to see it. The Endless Fire at the bottom of the Abyss also became more active."

"As for the other experience of seeing a space ability user... that was when I was a child. At that time, there were still many space passages from the Abyss to the human world. I was full of curiosity about the human world, and at the same time, humans were a very important food source for us vampires."

At this point, Dracula paused, immediately adopting a begging posture.

Gu Ran is a human being, yet he dared to say that humans are food in front of them.

Gu Ran didn't care about such things. Humans also hunt other species, and it's not a big deal that other species see humans as food.

Then we'll see who's stronger.

"Go on, don't waste time," Gu Ran said coldly.

Dracula responded with his own expression, looking rather annoyed.

Actually, this time he also wanted to test Gu Ran's intentions, to see what Gu Ran wanted to do to him, whether he would kill him ruthlessly, or let him go because of his cooperation.

If Gu Ran intends to let him go, then he will continue to fawn over Gu Ran. If Gu Ran is ruthless and has no intention of letting him go, then he will try to fight to the death.

But Gu Ran really gave him an unfathomable feeling. The indifference on his face made it impossible to tell what his mood or attitude was. It seemed like he was dissatisfied with him, but it also seemed like he wasn't, giving people an ambiguous feeling.

Dracula dared not probe any further and continued, "Because this is my first time in the human world, I dare not be too flamboyant, so I am very careful to hide my identity."

"But I was still easily seen through... I was terrified at the time, because if I attracted the attention of powerful humans, I might not be able to return to the abyss and would die in the human world."

"However, to my surprise, after discovering my abilities, he did not reveal my identity. Instead, he looked at me curiously and then imprisoned me."

A look of fear and anger suddenly appeared on Dracula's face.

A strange expression suddenly appeared on Gu Ran's face.

Could it be...

"After that... he kept sticking needles into my body, drawing my blood, and injecting me with strange things. Sometimes he even cut flesh from my body to observe the healing of the wounds. During that time, I was in excruciating pain, but I couldn't die."

"That was the darkest period of my life!"

It turns out I was right.

A hint of embarrassment and a touch of realization flashed across Gu Ran's face.

If this were his first time seeing such a peculiar life form as a vampire, he would definitely want to study it.

He judged others by his own standards, and to his surprise, it turned out to be true.

Gu Ran roughly guessed that the person who imprisoned Dracula and used him as a guinea pig was most likely also a spatial ability user and the destined one.

This is probably why Dracula began to hate those with spatial abilities.

No wonder the Lazarus family showed such strong hostility towards the Cold Wind; this must be the source of their animosity.

Other vampire families likely harbor similar animosity towards those with spatial abilities.

"But to be honest, I did benefit from that experiment."

Dracula's emotions gradually calmed down.

"Although I don't know what kind of drug was injected into me at the time, my body became more energetic afterward. Combined with my racial talents, I was able to maintain life activities for a longer period of time with less energy."

"This may be the reason why I have been able to live to this day. After all, whether in the abyss or in the human world, I have not seen another life as long as mine."

That's certainly true.

The vampire family has existed in the human alliance for over a thousand years, so Dracula might be close to two thousand years old.

"Just when I thought I would spend the rest of my life in such a miserable way until I died in agony, things finally took a turn for the better. One day, the bastard who imprisoned me suddenly said to me: 'I'm sorry, but I have a reason to do it.'"

"Ha, a reason that I have to do it!? On the other hand, no matter what, I will never forget that guy's despicable face!"

Dracula was completely absorbed in his story, looking like he was gritting his teeth.

"Do you remember what he looked like?" Gu Ran suddenly asked.

"Hmph, of course I remember, even if he turns to ashes, I'll still remember! Isn't he—"

Dracula suddenly stopped, his face filled with confusion.

"Isn't he...? What did he look like again? I remember him perfectly well! How come I can't remember anymore, all of a sudden..."

Gu Ran remained silent, deep in thought.

He had just asked that question on a whim.

But to my surprise, I really don't remember.

However, this only made him more certain that the person was also the destined one, because when they went to the ruins of Longmen City before, Xue Xiling and the others could not remember the face of that "tyrant".

Oh no, Xue Xiling can't even see it.

So, it seems Dracula and his destined one are quite compatible?

"If you can't remember, you can't remember. What happened next?" Gu Ran said, seeing that Dracula was still immersed in his past memories and hadn't come back to his senses.

"No, no, impossible, I can't forget, that guy's face was so hateful, how could I forget?" Dracula seemed not to hear Gu Ran's words, frantically repeating himself.

"What was he like back then? What was he like? What was he...?"

Gu Ran frowned: "If you can't remember what he looks like, then recall other things. Say whatever you can remember, such as his personality, hobbies, clothing, and abilities."
