"I can tell you everything you want to know," the old man said slowly, "But, are you sure you want to know? Fate is only in the hands of those who can see it. What if I think I'll get a better result if I don't tell you? "
These were words that would undoubtedly sway people's hearts.
Especially when these words came from the mouth of a prophet.
However, the man in front of him was not affected by these words.
He had received professional training.
They, on the other hand, had been dealing with this prophet for over a century.
"You're right. Fate can only be controlled by those who can peek at it. However, if you tell us what you've peeked at, then all of us will be in control of our own fates." The person behind the shadow wasn't in a hurry.
The man in black was not anxious, and he even said these meaningless words slowly.
The reason why they were meaningless was because …
The 'old man' had seen the conversation, the result of today's events, and everything else, but he was still happy to say these words that could not change the outcome.
"Controlling fate?" The old man's expression seemed to be a little dull. He looked past the man in front of him and looked at the wall in front of him. The wall was white, as smooth as jade, and no light was reflected on it.
In the end, he sighed.
"If I can really control fate, I won't be like this, spending my life in this prison.
You can be very proud of your life. " The man in black suddenly used honorifics and continued, "So far, you have saved more than 7.85 million people. You have changed their fates, including the people you care about. Needless to say, you will change the fate of all of humanity. Elder Jiao, you will be the hero who saved all of humanity, and you will be forever remembered in the history of our civilization."
However, with the price of freedom, he would be remembered forever as the savior of the world.
In the hearts of many people.
In the heart of the man behind the man in black, it was all worth it.
Many people had paid the same or even more painful price, but they could not change anything.
The old man suddenly laughed loudly. His laughter was so loud that even tears fell from his eyes. Many devices even beeped.
"The hero who saved all of humanity, how sacred, how wonderful, how proud! I have always thought so too! "
His voice became even more powerful. Even his turbid eyes seemed to have become the same. He stared at the black figure. "A mere lifetime of freedom in exchange for a change in the fate of the entire human race. What's so great about that? But! But! If all of my efforts, all of your efforts, are just empty hopes like bubbles, what am I living for? What do I get in return for all my efforts? "
The devices beeped more and more, louder and louder.
In the end, the red light even reached the warning line.
The automatic injection of the drug was triggered.
The old man's emotions gradually calmed down.
The drug quickly took effect, and he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
He had lost not only his freedom, but he did not even have the right to be angry.
His to say …
This made the person behind the shadow fall into an indescribable shock.
Empty hope?
Everyone's efforts were all in vain?
"What did you see?"
Before the old man's consciousness fell into a deep sleep, he quickly asked.
"Dead, everyone is dead …" The old man looked at the ceiling blankly. "A month later, all of humanity, everyone, is dead."
Even under the effect of the drug, his mood was extremely calm.
There was still a line of tears slowly flowing from his eyes.
This was because of despair, because he had lost his freedom, and also because of the fate of all of humanity and the futile efforts and struggles of countless people.
"—!??"
Even though Black Shadow had gone through harsh training and had an incomparably strong will, he still revealed an uncontrollable fear after hearing these words.
He was no longer afraid of death.
But he was afraid of failure.
Ever since he knew the truth behind the establishment of the Supreme Federation, he, like countless people, was determined to dedicate his life to the great battle to save human civilization. No matter what price he had to pay, as long as he could win, he would not hesitate.
This was the goal of him and countless people, and it was also the belief.
But why did it turn out like this?!
One must know.
Although the initial prophecy was an unacceptable result for humans, it was not the death of all of humanity at all!
This young man who inherited the title of "Black Shadow" from his deceased predecessor could not even control his distorted expression.
He picked up the special paper and pen in front of him, trembling, and in the form of ciphertext, he wrote down his communication with the prophet.
Perhaps even the prophet did not know.
The only person who could communicate with him was actually living next to him in a windowless room. He used the most primitive method to pass the information he received from him to a very small number of people.
This was Black Shadow.
Other than Black Shadow, in this castle that was probably the most confidential in the world, there were hundreds of people who had sacrificed their freedom for the old man.
The transmission of information required layers upon layers of precautionary measures. However, most of the people did not know who these rigorous measures were to guard against, nor did they know what kind of abilities the old man living in the castle had. They did not even know the significance of what they were doing.
They had given up their names and lives to come here for a single order.
But now …
As one of the few who knew the truth, Black Shadow even envied those who did not know anything.
.....
At this moment, Shen Yi was in his own world.
It was not a sky fortress.
Instead, it was a building that had already been built.
"Then, let's arrange it this way." Shen Yi looked at the few people in front of him and ordered, "Those who don't have a mission for now, stay here and cultivate. After all, the spiritual energy here is rich, and it'll be helpful for your cultivation. At the same time, keep an eye on the situation of the outside world. When necessary, I'll arrange missions for you."
He had already made a preliminary plan based on the current situation.
"Yes!" Gu Yan and the others replied in unison.
"Then." Shen Yi looked at Wu Jiong. "Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, Immortal Lord." Wu Jiong took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
She did not expect that she would have to carry out a mission with the Immortal Lord as soon as she arrived in another mortal world.
However, she was confident in herself.
She was the most suitable person for this mission.
