Is this okay?

Leng Mo cheered inwardly upon seeing this; it was simply too beautiful.

As a result, the previous generation would not dare to do so, and Yukari Yakumo, who was in a hurry to move Gensokyo, would not care about this.

"You bastard! You were lying all along!!" The previous generation glared at Altair through gritted teeth.

“No, everything I said is the truth.” Altair insisted that he had never lied and that everything he said was true.

The previous generation was even less convinced by this, but Lan, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand something and suddenly realized.

This method, this approach!

I've seen it myself!

Isn't this the same trick Leng Mo used to trick the previous generation?

In other words, Lord Zi's side is the real deal!

But... something's not right!

If it's true that Lord Zi's side is right, then why was Leng Mo ambushed when his initial goal was to the advantage of Lord Zi?

Are these two things completely different?

They ambushed Leng Mo, but did they not intend to stop Leng Mo's objective?

As if sensing the truth, Lan's eyes sharpened, but at this moment, she was in a difficult position.

Perhaps there is another way to break this deadlock?

I can't go to Lord Zi's place right now. Once I leave, the previous generation will be with Leng Mo.

With Leng Mo's methods of treating even Zi Daren like a child, the previous generation would definitely be fooled into becoming withdrawn.

Therefore, I must stand on the side of the previous generation!

Realizing this, Lan's face became solemn. Although she was unsure whether the two things were related, she knew she couldn't leave her predecessor, otherwise she would be left helpless.

If Leng Mo is a fake, then it is necessary to obtain crucial evidence against him.

Now is not the best time; we must wait.

If there is evidence to prove that Leng Mo is fake, then there is no need to argue. If there is no evidence... Lord Zi is probably in real danger. However, judging from the girl in military uniform's words, she is completely using the truth as a lie.

To be certain, you must test the waters!

"My lord...why don't we make a move?" Lan stared intently at Altair, the solution to this predicament lay within her!

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, the elder brother did not hesitate and immediately clenched his fist.

"Lord Leng Mo, I'll leave that girl in military uniform to you. The previous generation and I will deal with Lord Zi."

Lan spoke first, looking at Leng Mo with a serious expression, her gaze filled with a different kind of scrutiny.

Nani! ?

We've actually found a way to break this deadlock!

No no no!

If you fight with Yukari Yakumo, then you're basically doomed.

If you don't fight and instead sit down to talk, wouldn't my performance have been for nothing?

Now that things have come to this... now that things have come to this...

"No need," Leng Mo said, taking a deep breath and exuding an aura of power.

"What?" Lan was a little surprised when she heard this, and at the same time, a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Yukari Yakumo and Altair are nothing to fear. I can take on both of them by myself!"

Leng Mo stepped forward and directly interrupted Lan's arrangements, exuding an aura of invincibility.

"Okay!" Lan agreed without hesitation.

Altair on the other side smiled slightly and said, "I'm not going to fight you. Yakumo Yukari, let's go."

"Hmm." Yukari Yakumo nodded in response.

The next second, the two disappeared from the spot, giving no one a chance.

"purple--!!"

The predecessor rushed forward immediately upon seeing this.

Yukari Yakumo glanced at her and sighed, "Sir, I hope you realize this soon. There's no point in saying anything now..."

And just like that, Yukari Yakumo and Altair disappeared.

The resentful ancestors remained silent.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Kaguya's location is in the forest.

She dared not approach Leng Mo, nor dared to rashly contact others, so she could only hide in a far-off place.

Her heart was filled with anxiety, anger, grief, and helplessness.

"We absolutely must get the news that Leng Mo is the mole... We absolutely must!!"

Kaguya looked in the direction of Hakugyokurou with unwavering determination, but at that moment she was unaware that a black-clad female figure was following her.

Chapter 504 Leng Mo, what role are you really playing...?

"Ah, what a lovely little fellow."

The black-clad female figure spoke to Kaguya in a fascinated voice.

"Who!?" Kaguya was startled upon hearing this and turned to look at the woods behind her.

Upon seeing the black figure, her pupils constricted instantly, and she froze in place in terror, feeling fear at the aura emanating from the shade of the trees ahead.

This is definitely not the kind of power Gensokyo should have. Could it be someone from Leng Mo's side?!

I'm doomed! If this gets discovered... I'm completely finished!

"Hehe, this scared expression is not bad either, pretty little guy."

The only visible feature of the shadowy figure was its eyes and mouth, which revealed a happy smile, as if it had come out specifically to see that frightened expression.

"who are you?"

Kaguya was extremely wary of the situation before her; her opponent was far stronger than her, and she would definitely die if she made a move.

As she spoke, Kaguya quietly activated her ability, the power to manipulate eternity and fleeting moments.

With maximum force, the distance between the two was stretched infinitely.

But the next second, the person on the other end laughed.

"It's no use. No matter how much distance you create, it's just a blink of an eye in my eyes."

As soon as she finished speaking, a black figure appeared behind Kaguya, his face filled with unprecedented anticipation.

Kaguya, belatedly realizing what was happening, widened her eyes, completely unaware of when the other party had arrived behind her and how it had come from her own ability.

"How is this possible... I clearly already activated it..."

"What is infinite, and what is finite? You, who cannot even cross the world, certainly wouldn't understand."

The black figure whispered in Kaguya's ear.

"Who exactly are you..." Kaguya asked, her body drenched in cold sweat. Knowing something was better than knowing nothing at all, no matter what.

"Who are you? This is a tough one for me. Our existence has no definite definition or rules. However, those little guys seem to like calling themselves 'system people,' so how about that?" The black-clad figure revealed a friendly smile, as if satisfied with solving the problem.

"System user?"

Kaguya's pupils contracted upon hearing this answer; she remembered what Leng Mo had said during the previous live stream.

System people are a group of unscrupulous, lawless individuals who act recklessly for their own interests.

But isn't that a joke?

Could it be that Leng Mo was telling the truth from the very beginning?

Her eyes widened in disbelief. She had thought Leng Mo was talking about her, but it turned out that the system really did exist.

Kaguya was unaware of what happened after the live-streaming system shattered, so her understanding of the system's existence was limited to Leng Mo's verbal explanation.

Now, encountering a genuine system user fills me with a sense of dread.

While I was thinking, the system user behind me suddenly spoke up and asked a question, accompanied by an unprecedented chill in his voice.

"I ask you, why do you live?"

"What do you mean?" Kaguya was a little surprised when she heard this, not expecting the other party to ask such a question.

"Why live? What is the purpose of living? With power and everything, as an immortal being, you should understand how boring living is. So tell me, why do you still want to live?" The system's voice was profound, as if it were asking about the most basic truth.

"Living is living, is there any other problem?" Kaguya didn't quite understand what the other person meant, but she still answered the question.

"Then what are you living for?" the system's voice appeared once again.

"For what... what else could it be for? It's my interest, of course," Kaguya said.

"I see. You're the same way?" The system seemed a little disappointed by this answer.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling aura spread out, as if it would kill Kaguya at any moment.

Did I answer wrong?!

Kaguya thought with fear, her face growing paler and paler as she sensed the approach of death.

But the next second, the system suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on?" Kaguya belatedly realized what was happening and slowly turned around to look behind her.

They found nothing; not a trace of life remained.

It was as if what had just happened was completely wrong.

For a moment, she couldn't figure out what was going on behind the scenes. She could only stand there blankly. After a period of extreme silence, she suddenly slumped to the ground and gasped for air.

"Am I... let off the hook? So what exactly happened...?"

Cold, trembling, and deep-seated fear.

Kaguya had no idea what was going on in Gensokyo, nor what the future held.

I just felt an unprecedented fear and loneliness.

……

On the other side, Baiyulou.

Yakumo Yukari and Altair had already left, and the previous generation stood there, clenching their fists in resentment and anger.

In the empty Baiyulou Garden, there was no one, only petals scattered by the wind.

"Damn it! Why would Zi do that..."

The previous generation lowered their heads in resentment, as if they were powerless to do anything.

At this moment, Yakumo Ran slowly walked up and asked with a sigh, "Sir, what should we do now?"

"Go find Zi!" the predecessor answered without hesitation.

“But…we have no idea where Lady Yukari is right now.” Ran looked at her with a troubled expression. They had only been able to find her because of the previous generation’s knowledge of Yukari.

If we look for someone now, there probably won't be any suitable candidates left.

All of Yukari Yakumo's friends have left, making it impossible to predict her next move.

Moreover, Gensokyo is still collapsing, with pillars of light constantly engulfing the entire Gensokyo. It is expected that it will completely devour everything within a day.

"Then... destroy the pillar of light!!" the first generation said through gritted teeth, turning back to look at the spreading pillar of light.

Upon hearing this, Lan's pupils constricted, and she was startled.

This is indeed a good idea. As long as we destroy the pillar of light, everything else can be resolved.

If Leng Mo were the person on the other side, he would never have stood by and watched the pillar of light be destroyed.
