Chapter 1052: Chapter 922: 1 in 150 (End)_2

The people in the square wore various expressions, and the corporate executives focused on the situation only wished they could delete that recent speech.

The company structure and faith were different paths leading to the same destination.

They thought the least needed people in this world were those who understood the rules behind everything, nor was there a need to correct any past mistakes—the flow of time would naturally smooth everything over.

The majority of people under their governance only needed to play the role of a cog well to embrace the happy life that belonged to them.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Corruption" noticed the change in Lu Xiang’s expression.

She seemed no longer able to control the corners of her mouth from turning up and ultimately had to cover her mouth with her left hand to hide her lapse in composure.

"I’m genuinely happy for him... for your predecessor."

Though they were on opposing sides, she truly felt the sentiment, and she believed Song Lan must also be having mixed feelings at this moment.

This was the first person they had met who, upon learning of Dumb Bird’s past, did not turn into a "little hater."

Furthermore, he even wanted to restore Song Lan’s reputation.

Although Song Lan had never been interested in a reputation beyond himself, those words just spoken must have moved him somewhat.

"Your thoughts have been fully received by him."

If it were not for all eyes being on Lute City’s square at that moment, Lu Xiang would have eagerly wanted to interview Song Lan right away, feeling like a student who had unexpectedly run into a little fanboy while walking between academies.

It seemed Dumb Bird’s relentless efforts had not been in vain; at least someone believed in him and had taken action based on that conviction.

"Could it be..."

"Corruption" suddenly understood and fell silent once again.

All this was unexpected, yet logical.

The destruction of the second zone and the erasure of the "Dominate" Spiritual Energy seemed not to be the energy of the God of Life—the powerless deity could no longer accomplish such feats.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha ha, fate is indeed wondrous."

After a while, the laughter from the heavens became much more hearty, "This is a pleasant surprise. After you left, I conducted many investigations in secret; unlike the God of Life, there’s no trace of you left in this world. I thought you had vanished with that unknown war—nothing could please me more than to have you witness the arrival of the new era with your own eyes."

"It’s time to back off."

Song Lan’s vision darkened, and facing the skeptical eyes of everyone, he could just think of how all those watching this incident at Lute City might be reacting.

What "Corruption" had just said had undoubtedly become the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

He had nearly addressed everyone, publicizing his identity.

Time and again, it was proved that being a spectator was a highly risky affair; Lu Xiang’s exposure was thorough, and ultimately, he too could not escape his fate.

If one were to talk about levels of embarrassment, he probably even surpassed Lu Xiang.

The current feeling was like a super-villain who had once plunged the entire Oasis and the world into panic, now announcing to the world with an earnest and reverent tone that he too had once been a magical girl in his youth.

Yes, the atmosphere was just that weird and awkward.

It had become difficult for him to imagine how he would face Grandpa Li when he went home and climbed the stairs.

"It seems your concern for your junior has not been in vain, Old Song."

"Old Void" smiled slightly and, in front of all eyes, patted Song Lan’s shoulder, saying, "By the way, you can call me Old Void. I’m his best friend."

"Best friend" might have been preceded by "one of" in the past, but times had changed.

The biggest benefit for him about Song Lan and Lu Xiang being together was that he had become the sole presence in the field of friends.

Now, like an old friend, he felt genuinely happy for Song Lan.

"Nobody asked you."

Song Lan and Lu Xiang spoke simultaneously, fully displaying the understanding between them.

Song Lan’s brain was racing; he was keenly aware that everything "Corruption" had just said had already spread to every corner of the world. Even if he denied it vehemently, he could not change the label of being the "only certified super-villain."

The best way to escape was to turn back time and then deal with "Corruption" before this moment arrived.

This was his consistent practice.

By erasing the existence of the past, even eliminating everyone’s memory, fate would stand by his side forever.

But after hearing the words just now, some discordant notes seemed to emerge in his heart, causing him endless irritation.

As a revered senior, he seemed to have the obligation to return the heavy favor.

"The reason I said those things to you was never to make you walk down the path of a terrorist."

Clearly, "Corruption" had greatly misunderstood the rules of idling, the so-called Devil’s Whisper. Its ultimate goal wasn’t to incite wars, but to free those who strayed off the path from the identity of a "cricket," for there was nothing more severe than losing believers for the beings of the upper world.

"Nevertheless, I indeed said those things to you."

Song Lan had never thought that his past words could change someone’s fate and bring such a lasting disaster to the Oasis.

After the principles of fish escaping became ineffective, he decided to confront the consequences that arose from misunderstandings.

"Hey, did you guys hear that?"

The commotion nearby awakened everyone from their dreams.

To witness the descent of a miracle, all the people of Lute City had gathered at the plaza in front of the bell tower.

Soon, some people discovered that the commotion was coming from a nearby building.

That was a place used for storing corpses, this sudden epidemic had brought almost irreparable damage to the Oasis, and the hospital could not accommodate the rotting bodies, forcing people to clear out buildings to store those who died from the plague.

They still harbored some unrealistic fantasies.

Fantasizing that the miracle of the God of Life would descend here and bring back the souls of the deceased to this world.

After a brief moment of fear, what replaced it was an indescribable surprise.

All eyes were fixed on the building from where the commotion emanated, hoping to see someone push open those doors blocked by seals.

"Hold on, hold on, what are you trying to do?"

Feeling the anomaly in the city, "Corruption" became panicked.

His struggle against the God of Life was a lopsided war of 149 to 1, yet there was no sign that his predecessor had lost all his power after disappearing for a while.

What terrified him even more was that the pure Spiritual Energy brought by the fragments was drifting away from him.

The rate at which it was being siphoned off increased, as if accelerating with time.

Someone rushed towards the sealed doors impatiently, but in the next moment, he and everyone else in the world witnessed the process of a miracle unfolding—his outstretched hand did not touch the doorknob, everything in front of them seemed to become but a shadow.

And they, it seemed, no longer existed in any corner of this world.

"Stop! If this goes on, the new era will—"

"Corruption" shouted loudly.

When people looked up again, they saw the dark clouds enveloping the sky above Lute City dispersing.

Or, more precisely, they were retreating with time.

After a while, someone finally noticed the source of all the anomalies.

He cried out incredulously, "Time, time is reversing!"

Only then did they understand what was happening on the other side of the door.

The bodies on the other side of the door were also rapidly reversing with the world, the speed of reversal becoming faster and faster, with the numbers on the smartphone screens recording this unimaginable speed.

"The arrival of this new era is to correct all past mistakes!"

In the time it took to speak a single sentence, Lute City experienced the process of the Sun setting in the west and rising in the east, "Corruption" raised his voice, nearly roaring in an attempt to stop all of this from happening.

"The new era has already arrived."

Amidst the chaos, he heard a voice.
