Chapter 1858: Chapter 745: Zhao Ji: Was I Set Up?

Zhao Ji shook her head, "It’s not a clone, it should just be suppression of power."

After saying that, Zhao Ji continued expressionlessly, "I saved her. Then I prepared to leave."

"But she stopped me. She said since I saved her, I should grant her one wish."

A question mark slowly appeared above Qiu Tu’s head: ?

Zhao Ji keenly detected Qiu Tu’s emotions. She glanced at Qiu Tu with a clear gaze, then slowly said, "You have to understand, the thought process of the Chaos God King is inherently different from ordinary people."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, feeling it was reasonable.

Zhao Ji continued to speak expressionlessly, "Actually, at that time, I was just like you, not quite understanding her thought process."

"So, I couldn’t be bothered to deal with her, I just turned around and left."

"As a result, who knew she would follow behind me, constantly saying I owe her a wish and must fulfill it."

"She annoyed me to the point I wanted to draw my sword and kill her."

"It was then that I realized she was actually pretending to be weak to deceive me, her power was terrifyingly strong."

At this point, Zhao Ji’s eyelashes trembled lightly, her eyes filled with fear, "Although she didn’t retaliate, nor did she attack me, by merely standing there, I couldn’t cause even the slightest harm to her."

"In that instant, I knew the gap between me and her was vast."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji’s words, Qiu Tu pondered, "So... this was actually the only time Sister Zhao Ji failed?"

Zhao Ji paused upon hearing this, then did not deny, "You could say that."

Qiu Tu gestured with his hand. Zhao Ji continued, "After that, she said I now owe her two wishes. Only after fulfilling these two wishes would she leave me."

"I simply couldn’t stop her, so I had to let it be."

"And so, we spent two months together, day and night."

Qiu Tu was taken aback, then asked, "That is... the end?"

Zhao Ji nodded.

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu thought he would hear some clichéd story or explosive plot, but it turned out to be so plain and uneventful!

The problem is, if everything is really so simple, then why did Zhao Ji change paths, and why did the Chaos Witch send someone in white to observe Zhao Ji?

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu instinctively sensed something was amiss.

However, he also knew Zhao Ji would not bother to lie.

Moreover... given his current relationship with Zhao Ji, she was also definitely not going to hide anything from him.

So... there’s likely only one explanation: Zhao Ji has a secret or trait she herself is unaware of.

And the Chaos Witch discovered that secret or trait, thereby intentionally creating an opportunity, befriended Zhao Ji, and stayed by her side, observing for two months.

Relating this to Zhao Ji’s reincarnation and the split into Larilo... Qiu Tu had a suspicion rise in his heart.

He looked at Zhao Ji, then asked, "Sister Zhao Ji, I remember you once told me you gave up the Path of Life because the Path of Life is doomed not to reach the Peak?"

"And said someone told you this."

"Was that person... the Chaos Witch?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhao Ji did not deny it. She nodded slightly in agreement.

But perhaps worrying that Qiu Tu might think she was bewitched, Zhao Ji added an extra explanation, "However... it’s not like I believe everything she says."

"After she explained the Upper Three Paths and Lower Three Paths to me, I also found a chance to contact the God King of the Path of Life, and get some understanding."

"She wasn’t lying to me, the Lower Three Paths are indeed different from the Upper Three Paths, unable to connect with the World Origin."

"Thus, the further upward, the narrower the Lower Three Paths, until they completely dead-end."

"It was through multiple validations that I confirmed she wasn’t lying, then decided to reincarnate and start anew."

Qiu Tu very much trusted Zhao Ji’s caution.

And matters of Lower Paths and Upper Paths were originally verified by Yao Qin. That’s unchangeable.

So, Qiu Tu’s focus wasn’t whether the Path of Life could reach the end, but rather.....

He looked at Zhao Ji, then asked, "If that’s the case, then if I’m not mistaken, the method to change paths was also given by the Chaos Witch, right?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhao Ji visibly froze.

Shrewd as she was, she instantly guessed Qiu Tu’s thought.

She frowned slightly, then looked at Qiu Tu, "Do you mean... there’s a problem with this path conversion method?"

Qiu Tu lit a cigarette, smoke drifting away with the night wind.

Qiu Tu squinted, then said seriously, "Mainly... don’t you think it’s a bit strange?"

"Reincarnation as reincarnation; path change as path change; clone split as clone split. Why... did these three merge into one?"

"And..." At this point, Qiu Tu said somewhat uncertainly, "I know very little about God Kings and Heavenly Gods."

"But... does splitting a clone make it become an independent consciousness?"

After speaking, Qiu Tu held the cigarette, looking at Zhao Ji.

And hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhao Ji’s beautiful face clearly froze slightly.

Qiu Tu has only been in Cataclysm Awakening for three years, while the Boundless Heart Sea has been in a low state for a century.

But she’s different, she lived during the golden years hundreds of years ago. What kind of clones hasn’t she seen?
