As Su Ruolan gazed at everything in the illusion, she understood the truth—she had fallen victim to Qi Runzhou's schemes twice. How blind could she be? Watching the Disfigured Guardian sacrifice everything for her in the vision, she silently vowed that in this life, she would find him. Even if she could not repay his feelings, she would care for him until the end of his days.
Now that everything was clear, it turned out all the secrets lay within bloodlines and inheritance. In the past, too many impurities had been mixed in. Although this allowed Longtail to take on a human form, benefiting the survival of the snake people and adapting better to Earth's environment, facilitating pregnancy and childbirth, it also laid the groundwork for genetic mutations. Such a deadly transformation would erupt when there was no longer any ancestral inheritance in human blood, and no power could suppress it. This was why some people mutated into Zombies while others evolved into Abilities. Among those individuals from back then, someone must have had problematic blood; finding that person was crucial to addressing the issue.
Aside from Su Ruolan, the blood of the Disfigured Guardian, Qi Runzhou, Jiang Zhilin, and Kang Wanying had also dripped into the secret formation. The next step was to determine who among them was responsible.
While Su Ruolan was deep in thought, she suddenly noticed that the scene before her changed again. Long-Tailed Su Ruolan reappeared, floating in mid-air, smiling at Su Ruolan as she said, "You finally came. I've been waiting for you for two thousand years."
What? Waiting for me? Su Ruolan was astonished to realize that this time Long-Tailed Su Ruolan was truly looking at her as she spoke.
"Don't doubt it; I'm talking about you. This is where the secret formation was activated back then—you are my reincarnation," Long-Tailed Su Ruolan smiled and continued. "I exchanged my life for his and left a trace of my soul's power here so that when you returned, we could merge. I only appear when you completely sever your feelings for Qi Runzhou. I thought we would miss this two-thousand-year appointment again."
"Miss it again?" Su Ruolan picked up on the specific wording.
"Yes, we've actually missed it twice already. If we miss it again this time, there will be no more chances," Long-Tailed Su Ruolan said seriously. "Now that you've regained your sanity and understand the cause and effect, I should return to my body to complete your soul. Reset has probably been stifled during this time."
"Reset was left for me by you?" Su Ruolan realized suddenly.
"Yes, it is our Royal Family's guardian space. Every Royal Family member has such a guardian by their side; you'll understand when you encounter one in the future. My time is running short; let's begin. Let me fill in your missing soul and purify your bloodline so you can fulfill your mission—the mission left unfinished a thousand years ago. The Ram Planet people need you."
"No, I don't want to! I'm not you; I'm an independent individual! I'm not an alien; I'm just a native Earthling! You're weaving stories again! The illusion is deceiving me!" Su Ruolan felt overwhelmed by a series of massive revelations.
Long-Tailed Su Ruolan had considered every situation except for the possibility that Su Ruolan would reject her offer. With a sigh, she said, "Although you are my soul's reincarnation, you are no longer me; you have your own life, and I acknowledge that. No matter how much you deny it, you are the only legitimate Royal Family member of Ram Planet on this planet. If you do not save your people, their ultimate fate will be death. Think carefully about this—I can only last three more days at most. After three days, I will completely dissipate. If you've made up your mind, just call for me." Long-Tailed Su Ruolan looked at Su Ruolan calmly without a hint of turmoil in her expression.
