"We're not doing well..."
After Fran said this, he fell into silence. Gul and Wei Tian, sitting near Wen Yu, hung their heads and said nothing.
A group of lost dogs!
After a moment, Wen Yu finally let out a bitter laugh.
"You're not the only ones..."
"I'm not doing well either."
First, he was trapped in the Temple of the Void Realm for over five thousand years, and after coming out, he had to face those former "friends." In the end, Bai and the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor took all the benefits for themselves. Enjoying life? Impossible. Escaping? That would depend on Bai's murderous intent toward him! Once Bai was determined to kill, it would be incredibly difficult for Wen Yu to escape—if he fought Tang Haofei, they could battle until the end of time, and Wen Yu wouldn't find a way to shake off Tang Haofei... By the time the soul balance finished its cooldown, the outcome between the Heaven-Piercing and the sovereign would have likely been decided. So now, while there was a chance to escape, it certainly wasn't as high as one would imagine.
After thinking for a while, Wen Yu sighed helplessly. He looked at the aging Fran and asked softly,
"Tell me, what happened to this world..."
Although Wen Yu felt he was asking this question quite late, in fact, he still held a lot of curiosity about it all.
Having returned after more than five thousand years, everything on the surface seemed the same as before. However, once Bai and the immortal emperor exerted their power, the world was turned upside down.
On Earth, it was as if they were in their own home court. Wen Yu was genuinely curious as to why, with Fran's abilities, he managed to mess up such a good situation!
Facing Wen Yu's questioning, Fran's back hunched a little more, and after a moment, he finally let out a bitter laugh.
"Do you remember that demonic clan called the prophet?"
Wen Yu squinted, carefully searching his memory, but he regrettably found that he had heard the name of the prophet, yet had no impression of it at all...
"That's the research-type demonic clan that Tang Haofei brought back from the Demon Realm."
With this, Wen Yu feigned realization—this was the guy whose knowledge was even higher than Wei Tian’s, and it was he who created the clone army for Tang Haofei and Wen Yu...
However, knowing that, Wen Yu remembered that, in Yan Jing, the control over these alien races was quite strong. Logically speaking, a research-type, albeit not strong in personal strength, demonic creature situated in the core area of Yan Jing shouldn't be able to stir up any waves...
Even if at the time the prophet seemed to be under Tang Haofei...
Seeing Wen Yu's expression, Fran sighed again.
"Do you still remember Lin Tianxue?"
"Uh..."
At this point, Wen Yu truly woke up fully.
After returning from Treasure Land No. 444, Lin Haifeng mentioned that Lin Tianxue had given him another granddaughter. Initially, Wen Yu didn't take it seriously, but looking at it now—Fang Yujie had become the beijing commander-in-chief officer. The implications were indeed many...
Seeing Wen Yu's understanding, Fran bitterly nodded.
"In fact, we had a strong surveillance over the prophet, but we didn’t monitor Lin Tianxue closely—after all, you know, after the last celestial god incident, Lin Tianxue was stripped of all her real power, and capable people didn’t dare to associate with her. In short, Lin Tianxue ended up getting in touch with the prophet."
"You overlooked something..."
Wen Yu summarized, but Fran shook his head.
"It’s not that I overlooked anything; in fact, I did not neglect this matter."
"The moment I discovered Lin Tianxue was in cahoots with the prophet, I initiated an investigation, but the results were very ordinary."
"At the time, Lin Tianxue was pregnant and wanted the prophet to adjust the genes of the child in her womb... Honestly, this was very normal; ordinary people would go to the hospital for that, and given Lin Tianxue's status, it was quite reasonable for the prophet to intervene."
