Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 872 - 46: The Human Incarnation of the Lord of Eden_3

Once Tang Jing realized who the enemy was, Qi Yuan explained things in much greater detail.

It was at this moment that Akasi happened to pass by.

"Your girlfriend?"

"No."

"Don't be shy, I won't tell Ju Mang," Akasi teased.

Tang Jing wanted to say that this was an Order Keeper, but he guessed no one would believe him.

All he could do was explain, "She's really not my girlfriend."

"Alright, alright, look at how anxious you are. I've never seen you this worked up. I won't disturb you two anymore; I'm off to herd ducks."

Akasi walked away leisurely while Tang Jing started to sweat.

After all, he didn't know what kind of temperament Qi Yuan had; what if she whimsically decided to kill someone?

Not until they were far from Akasi did Tang Jing try to say something, only to be preempted by Qi Yuan:

"So you do like women. I always thought you were into men."

Tang Jing: ...

Keep calm, keep calm. The entity before him could destroy the world.

Tang Jing reminded himself, gradually calming down, then he changed the subject:

"But why would it allow itself to be severely injured? As far as I know, the Master of Eden survived that battle. Wouldn't it be better for it to handle these matters itself?"

"There are things even I don't know, but I believe the answers will come soon if Tang Xian chooses to continue protecting humanity."

Upon reaching the burial ground of the Milky Way, Qi Yuan stopped.

Tang Jing didn't know what Qi Yuan intended to do; was she going to kill Bai Shuang? To cut off Baichuan City's escape route?

What was he supposed to do when the time came?

Qi Yuan didn't kill Bai Shuang.

Bai Shuang was outside the cave, as usual. Indifferent as ever, it looked at Tang Jing and Qi Yuan, glanced a few times, and said no more.

Qi Yuan smiled at Bai Shuang, then turned back to Tang Jing and said:

"Let's go back."

"You're leaving just like that?"

"What do you expect me to do? Act on a whim and kill it?"

"No, let's go back," Tang Jing immediately backpedaled.

He now had the feeling of bringing a tiger back to the sheep pen, yet he had no choice but to return.

Qi Yuan's purpose had been achieved; she could be certain that humanity truly had no way out.

As for how things would end up, it all depended on Tang Xian's decision.

She was waiting for Tang Xian to return to the human world.

...

...

At the mine, on Giant Island.

Tang Xian had read through all the notes and was now aware of all the plans of the Master of Eden.

Including why the Master of Eden had to go through such a convoluted scheme, perhaps this was its biggest weakness.

It—was not powerful enough.

Because it wasn't powerful enough, it couldn't become the enemy of the beast gods. The one to take the blame, or the tool, had all been arranged by it.

Now, this plan that spanned the entire history of the mine was nearing its culmination; the inheritance of all the beast gods was about to be gathered.

The Master of Eden finally stepped out from behind the scenes, revealing its form.

In one of the most critical notes, Tang Xian saw a similar discussion, in the last paragraph of the note.

He also finally understood that everything he had done was actually making a wedding dress for someone else—

"You and I are one and the same, two forms born of one soul. Under the link of the Heart of Eden, whatever you gain, I too shall acquire. When I awaken, my wisdom, my power, my authority, you will possess them all. You are my manifestation in the human world.

You are me. We can't escape from each other. Accept my gifts, and together, we will become the master of the entire world!"
