His vision quickly narrowed along the flowing time passage, and the scene in front of Xu Shen's eyes changed rapidly. In the end, all the mottled colors disappeared, and only the ruins overgrown with weeds remained in front of him.

This was the former site of the Hathaway family's estate.

Now it has long been abandoned, and its former prosperity and liveliness have come to an end.

Waves of stinging pain came from his eyes, and Xu Shen couldn't help but stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, feeling viscous liquid overflowing between his fingers.

When I looked down, my hands were covered in blood.

Xu Shen felt that his vision was a little blurry. He closed his eyes and asked Haijue to help him treat it. After a while, the tingling feeling gradually disappeared.

At this time, Xu Shen felt the soreness and weakness all over his body, as if he was overdrawn.

Although he had Scarlet Cloak and Sea Lord as backup, he spanned this long time and stared at the past.

It also has the ability to release the mental prison across time and space.

The combination of the two made him feel like his whole body was falling apart. His body was so empty that not even a trace of strength could be squeezed out.

Thinking of the outcome of this cross-time and space confrontation, Xu Shen felt bitter and had a sense of frustration.

Although he was angry, unwilling and wanted to fight desperately, everything seemed to be arranged by fate.

The queen ant from the past "hides" in the past... but was actually sealed in the past by herself.

He clearly wanted to kill her, but instead he trapped her in the past and was unable to come to his own timeline, so he could never really kill her.

In the face of time, he and the Queen Ant are both fools, being played by time.

The ant queen wanted to shuttle over and strangle him before the king, but it was her actions that allowed Xu Shen to be successfully promoted to king.

Otherwise, Xu Shen may not have the opportunity to be promoted again in this life.

And she wanted to kill the ant queen, but she happened to seal her in the past so that he could never reach her and kill her.

Being able to block it with a mental cage and prevent it from causing changes in the future in the past is already the limit.

Not only was the queen ant being played with by time, even Xu Shen, who had seen through this in advance, could not escape.

Trapped in a game, everyone is a pawn.

Xu Shen couldn't help but wonder, if he had been willing to accept his fate before and not used his ability to travel to the past, would the closed loop have been broken and his fate broken?

He didn't answer.

Accepting fate or not accepting fate seems to be doomed.

The choices he faces, the situation, and his own personality will all lead him to make some choices.

This is true even if the outcome is clearly known.

This may be the horror of fate.

The so-called changing one's fate against the will of heaven, how could it not be that the one changing one's fate is not a fate that has already been arranged?

Xu Shen sighed deeply and remained silent for a long time.

From all the previous phenomena, he had already expected this result - he could not kill the queen ant!

If he could kill her, he would have the opportunity to eat her and borrow her abilities.

And if he could borrow her ability, then in the previous battle, in addition to the projection of the ant queen, there would also be his own projection.

After all, once he kills the queen ant and inherits everything from her, he can also do what she can do.

But in fact it doesn't.

There is no self that has traveled from the future.

In all the sufferings he suffered in the past, he never came back to protect him.

This has already indicated that he cannot kill the queen ant and obtain her abilities.

The ability of time and the Queen Ant are forever blocked in the long past and cannot be touched.

When the ant queen helped him become king, Xu Shen saw that the ant queen had been fooled by time. Because of this, he also saw the result he had expected, but he wanted to try to change this fate.

But after such an attempt and all his efforts, his unwillingness and refusal to accept his fate became the last link of his fate, completely closing the loop.

If he could go back ten minutes ago, Xu Shen would definitely choose to stop and not pursue the "past body" ant queen.

He wanted to see what would happen.

But unfortunately, he does not have the ability to control time and cannot change what has happened.

There is no second chance to choose.

Even if there is, Xu Shen guesses that there may be other reasons or special circumstances that allow the "result" to still happen as scheduled.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a long time, Xu Shen recovered a little and then slowly stood up.

He took a deep look at the ruined manor. In the distant timeline, the queen ant was right in front of him. The two were very close to each other, but they were so far away that they would never touch her again.

Among all the enemies Xu Shen encountered, the Queen Ant was by far the most terrifying, difficult to deal with, and the one he fought for the longest time, but still failed in the end.

Maybe there will be such powerful enemies in the future.

Xu Shen thought of the ruling parliament.

Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, the five people who can sit at the top of mankind must not be simple characters.

"The road ahead... will be very difficult."

Xu Shen murmured to himself.

"It doesn't matter, I will stay with you." Maeve appeared next to Xu Shen, bent down and came closer, a strand of hair fell down beside his ear, with a smile and gentleness on her face: "Always and always."

Xu Shen's heart felt warm and a smile appeared on his face.

…

…

Return from Moonlight Town.

After sealing the queen ant in the past, her future and present bodies were also killed, and she also received the scarlet cloak of the legendary ruin soldier. Xu Shen now felt that he could finally take a breath and no longer had to be so tense.

As for the escaped Night Rat King, there is nothing to worry about.

Even if he continues to plan and try to make a comeback and take back Guangming City, he is just looking for death.

Queen ant 'Pamela' is an exception.

But with the exception of a few special beings, Xu Shen felt that it would not be too difficult for him to deal with other kings.

"The reward that the Night Rat King promised me before has not been given yet. It seems that I have to ask for it when I have time..." Xu Shen's eyes flashed slightly. He was busy with the Queen Ant's affairs before, and he didn't care about the Night Rat King at all.

Don't dare to be distracted.

Now that the queen ant has been solved, he can track the Night Rat King by the same method he used to track the queen.

Take two days off.

Xu Shen was preparing to deal with some of the backlogged reform matters in the city, so he went to look for the Night Rat King. Suddenly, he found that there were many problems to face. The previous war caused financial tensions, and small gangs in various districts started to cause chaos and take advantage of the situation.

In addition, the supply of cleaning agents in the inner city was actually cut off.

The decontamination agent was a big deal, so Xu Shen immediately summoned the senior cadres in charge of the matter to inquire about the situation.

"Lord City Lord, the factory in the inner city said that the situation in the inner city has been complicated recently. All the manufacturers of the purifier have stopped external supply, and all the purifiers have been transferred to the seven major families."

A senior cadre complained: "We went to find out about the procurement of other private groups in the city, and found that it seemed to be the same. I heard that there was a conflict among the seven major families in the inner city, and there would be a big war."

Xu Shen was stunned. The seven major families in the inner city are going to fight?

Could it be the Jiang family?

Xu Shen immediately thought of Sister Li, and his eyes moved slightly. He used his status as king of No. 10 to support him, but now he wonders what happened to the Jiang family.

If the support of a king cannot be alleviated, it can only mean that the Jiang family's situation is extremely bad and that it lacks the power to suppress the covetousness of tigers and wolves.

After sending this high-level cadre away, Xu Shen Shen thought about it. He thought of the secret crystal and immediately silently sensed the call in his mind.

Soon, Xu Shen's consciousness was sucked out of his body and he quickly ascended to the spiritual world.

Miraculously, his physical body was completely shattered before, but the secret crystal did not fall out, nor was it noticed by the Queen Ant.

Xu Shen guessed that this mysterious crystal was probably fused with his own spirit, and would only fall out unless he truly died and both his physical body and spirit collapsed.

Just like he got this crystal before.

Therefore, if you know that the enemy has a mysterious crystal, you need to determine whether the opponent has been completely killed. It seems that you can also use the crystal as a sign from the opponent's body.

At this moment, bright stars of different colors are suspended in the sky.

Xu Shen was in the light ball No. 10. He glanced around and saw four light balls lighting up.

The alpha wolf of No. 7, No. 2, No. 8, and No. 11.

Xu Shen remembered that the woman from Detective No. 3 had said that the four of them, 1, 2, 4, and 11, were all kings.

At this moment, both kings were online, and Xu Shen was a little surprised.

The four of them were chatting.
To be continued...
