"Is there a connection between these two...?" As soon as I spoke half of the sentence, I widened my eyes in surprise, suddenly realizing something.
The Divine Decree Project is not just a coincidence!
Is it because the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan is too powerful that someone wants to deal with them? And the means to deal with them is the Divine Decree Project!?
Once this thought emerged, my entire train of thought was pulled along with it. I felt that there was some significant secret about to surface, but since I knew too little, I couldn't sort it out immediately.
"Hey, what do you think? Which side is Qin Shi Huang really on?" Xianxian asked while pondering, "From the numerous clues we've gathered before, this world has always been manipulated, and Qin Shi Huang was controlled by others since childhood, ultimately being killed by that organization. Have we always assumed that the mastermind behind that organization is the Demon Clan?"
"Yes, that's what I think." From the beginning, I believed that the Demon Clan was actually helping Qin Shi Huang. However, later on, for some unknown reason, we began to lose absolute trust in the Demon Clan and started to suspect that they were controlling Qin Shi Huang. But is there something wrong with that?
"Lime, what do you think? You've had contact with them; you should know much more than we do," Xianxian asked again.
Lime frowned and shook his head, saying, "Did you forget what Luo Yu said?"
I felt a jolt in my heart and suddenly remembered that Luo Yu mentioned Lime's memories had been tampered with! So which one is true and which one is false? Damn it, this is overwhelming! "Did he tell you who was behind it?" I asked Lime. After all, Luo Yu didn't reveal the complete truth to us back then, so we are currently in a state of partial understanding.
Lime shook his head and calmly said, "He doesn't know."
What?? Luo Yu doesn't know either?
Just as I was surprised, I heard Xianxian loudly ask, "Then how can he be sure that your memory was tampered with and not his memory that was altered?"
This question hit the nail on the head! I had suspected it at the time, but because of Luo Yu's determined expression and Lime's silence, I didn't ask further.
Lime still had a slight frown and did not explain anything. After a moment, he sat up and said calmly, "Let's keep going."
There was no choice; after resting for a while, we once again steeled ourselves and endured the many piercing gazes as we struggled to climb down.
Climbing trees was also very exhausting. After all, we were human, not monkeys. Holding onto one branch to jump to another while being careful not to step on the motionless Zongzi below was an experience I really didn't want to elaborate on. I never wanted to go through that again in my life.
Without sunlight, without day or night, even our sense of time became vague if we didn’t look at our watch. When we got tired from climbing, we rested; when we were really sleepy, we tied ourselves to the trunk and slept. We did this repeatedly, but I had no idea how many times it lasted. In the end, we still hadn’t seen any suspicious places.
"Wow, this hole is so deep. How long have we been climbing?" Xianxian lazily lay back on a thick branch, looking exhausted.
"Three days, I think," I said as I glanced at the time with resignation. When would this end? At first, we were all fired up, but now the initial enthusiasm had worn off significantly; everyone’s thoughts were more rational and fatigued.
There was no way around it. Although these strange Zongzi hadn’t attacked us, we still couldn’t let our guard down. As we climbed down, we had to constantly watch our step to avoid falling and be wary of stepping on something strange while also staying alert for any potential attacks.
So while we slept, the people from the Spirit Department kept watch beside us.
"Have you noticed that the black Zongzi seem to be getting fewer as we go down?" I thought Xianxian had fallen asleep, but unexpectedly he suddenly spoke up.
I looked around and then up and down; the countless eyes watching us were still glaring intensely—where was there any reduction!?
"They have been following us all along," Lime said just as I was about to complain.
I froze and mechanically looked at the strange creatures around us. After quietly observing for a while, it seemed that there were indeed signs of movement in the distance. I couldn’t blame myself for not noticing earlier; my mind had been completely elsewhere, far from those dark and bizarre Zongzi.
Even though there were no memories in my mind and I had never seen them before in my life, I couldn't deny that I really wanted to see them. Just thinking about my biological parents being somewhere here and that the mystery of my origins was finally about to be unraveled made my heart inexplicably race.
Throughout this journey, I was grateful for the companionship and support of these people. Without them, there would be no Feng Zi today; without them, there would be no future Feng Zi. What merit did I have to receive such abundant friendship? Although I have never had a mother in this life, I have enjoyed other precious familial bonds that are hard-earned.
Although I have gained familial love, romantic love, and friendship, I shouldn't feel regret anymore. Yet, humans are greedy, and I am no exception. Regardless of anything, I still yearn to see them, to find the First Emperor and uncover the ultimate secret of the Divine Sign!
Right now, my father and the others are waiting for us above. Cold Snow and the Awakened Ones are clearing our path. We can't waste any more time like this; we need to find them and locate the Azure Jade Seal!
As I spoke, an inexplicable energy surged through me. Looking at the people lying beside me, I sat up and shook them, saying excitedly, "Stop slacking off! Let's get moving!"
Xianxian pouted and complained, "We're on the move again? Can't we take a break? We'll wear ourselves out!"
I shot Xianxian a glance and retorted without hesitation, "We just took a break! Stop whining; it’s not like you’re that delicate!"
"Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean we just took a break? That was an hour ago!" Xianxian argued back. Despite this, Xianxian still lazily got up because Lime and I had already started climbing down. After mumbling a few words, Xianxian jumped down as well.
"Just an hour? How can you even say that? Do you want me to carry you down?"
"Uh, how could I let you do that? But since you put it that way, if This Lord doesn't give you face, wouldn't that be too much? So, come on!"
"Not a chance."
Just as Xianxian was jumping toward me, I was about to sidestep when I heard Lime's faint yet clear voice. Before I could react, I felt a weight on me and tumbled down with that person. Just before my consciousness faded away, I heard Xianxian's high-pitched scream and indignant words: "You're so weak!"
