From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Then go prepare."

After listening to what the other party had said, Bai Chaojin directly dropped this remark and turned to walk towards Fang Ren.

The scientist glanced at Fang Ren, then took a few people to the other side of the laboratory to prepare for moving out the head of a ninth-order void beast.

Watching Bai Chaojin coming towards him, Fang Ren's feelings at the moment were nothing but anger and powerlessness. He had heard everything Bai Chaojin and that person had discussed, but he was powerless to stop Bai Chaojin.

"Since you are quite familiar with this organization, you must also know where you stand in this experiment, right?" Bai Chaojin said.

"Furnace? An auxiliary tool?" Fang Ren responded.

"Although those words have some derogatory connotations, the reality is indeed so," Bai Chaojin said. "But let's take the conversation back to the beginning; I hope that you understand not only the negative aspects of our organization, but also why we are willing to pay such a high price. You should know that doing these things means bearing a notorious legacy for eternity."

Fang Ren shook his head and sighed, "People like you, who are in high positions, only know that the victors can rewrite everything. You have never considered the consequences of your failure. All you can think of is how to cover up these horrifying truths after achieving success."

Bai Chaojin paused for a moment, his gaze towards Fang Ren somewhat helpless, and he spoke, "Do you think that everyone in high positions must cover up their atrocities?"

"At least among those I have come into contact with, you are the one most in need of concealing your crimes," Fang Ren said. "And you have indeed done so before, such as with the Nightfall Organization."

As Fang Ren's words fell, the expression on Bai Chaojin's face paused for a moment, then filled with resignation, "You really do have an inextricable link with the Nightfall Organization."

From Bai Chaojin's words, Fang Ren could tell that Bai Chaojin had long suspected his connection with the Nightfall Organization, but his admission now confirmed Bai Chaojin's suspicions about his relationship with Nightfall.

Fang Ren didn't want to know when Bai Chaojin started suspecting him, nor did he care about what strategies Bai Chaojin would adopt next, since he was now in the Central Area. Regardless of his involvement with Nightfall, Bai Chaojin would use him as an auxiliary tool for Bai Qi.

Since faces were already torn, there was no need to hold back.

"How does it feel to have your own pawn stepping out of the chessboard?" Fang Ren asked.

Bai Chaojin's face still wore a look of resignation, "I never regarded you as a pawn. Everyone here, all those who are alive or dead, they are heroes. And as for stepping out of the chessboard, although that metaphor is not quite appropriate, your presence here shows that you haven't stepped out of the chessboard you speak of."

"You are wrong," said Fang Ren seriously. "If I had never encountered the Nightfall Organization, by the time I was twenty-two, I would probably naively believe your sweet nothings, thinking that helping you with your experiments was contributing to the great journey of our race. But it's different now.

Whether or not I help Bai Qi, it's my freedom, all the initiative rests in my hands, and I am not so easily fooled by your sweet talk."

"Oh, you mean in that respect…" Bai Chaojin frowned. "Indeed, it would have been far less troublesome if I could have deceived you with words. In the face of such circumstances, ignorance is indeed a fortune."

Fang Ren did not speak further, waiting for what Bai Chaojin would say next. He would not be confused by the other's words, if Bai Chaojin were to use force, but his spiritual root was something others could not control, for no entity had been discovered in this world capable of suppressing Qianye.

Even if he were controlled, Qianye was beyond their grasp. Moreover, at his age, transplanting a spiritual root was no longer possible, no matter how much Indra Sky wanted to exploit his spiritual root, without his consent, they had no recourse, and could only sit and stew.

Seeing him waiting, Bai Chaojin continued to speak, "Your misunderstandings about me are quite deep. Regarding what happened with Jiang Ling of the Nightfall Organization, I have nothing to say, she indeed is a victim. But in the face of a racial crisis, personal emotions cannot be accommodated against the backdrop of greater issues.

Before her, many people gave up their personal feelings and made greater sacrifices than she did. Moreover, the title of 'victim' fits many people better than her, but they died for the future of the human race. However, she, in the face of great issues, for her own selfish desires, caused infighting within our species.

It's not wrong to call her a victim, but it's even more correct to say she was guilty. If her actions had continued, all our sacrifices would have been in vain. She was selfish!"

After listening to Bai Chaojin's words, Fang Ren felt rage building up in his throat, threatening to take over his mind at any moment.

"She turned out like this because of what you did, didn't she?" Fang Ren said coldly.

Bai Chaojin frowned at Fang Ren, feeling that his words had been as inconsequential as a fart; this junior from the Fang Family clearly had not grasped the greater issues he had tried to convey, let alone the current plight of humankind.

"Forget it, there's no use talking to you about this, but there's one thing I must tell you. Regardless of whether the experiment is a success or not, or whether Qi'er can shatter the void, I won't deny the sins I've committed."

Having said this, Bai Chaojin's gaze shifted toward the huge black serpent's head being moved by several scientists.

He turned around and walked directly towards the enormous black serpent's head, and while leaving, he sighed and said, "Once Qi'er's experiment is successful, I will go to the world beyond and atone for the sins committed to those who have died."

The laboratory was noisy.

Bai Chaojin's sigh, however, was crystal clear in Fang Ren's ears.

Fang Ren watched blankly as the elderly man with the resolute silhouette moved away. The fury that had been burning up to his neck suddenly felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat. It stopped burning, it didn't engulf Fang Ren's brain as it should have. It just stopped, unable to rise any higher.

Bai Chaojin...

This man behind the scenes whom he detested so much had, at this moment, said such words...

"Wait a second," Fang Ren called to Bai Chaojin.

"If you have any more questions, ask later," Bai Chaojin said, walking quickly toward a group of scientists; he was most worried about whether his granddaughter would be able to wake up safely.

Fang Ren completely ignored his words and said, "If Mu Huanqing and I insist on being together, what would you do?"

Bai Chaojin's stride suddenly halted, and after a moment of pondering, he said, "As long as Qi'er's experiment succeeds, you and she can be together however you wish. Even after that, the cultivators' marriage regulations can also be abolished."
