Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 944 - 79: Tang Xian and Qi Yuan Join Forces

Chapter 944 -79: Tang Xian and Qi Yuan Join Forces

The lost memories cannot be retrieved; in the world of Eden’s Master, that is simply the rule.

Even if Qi Yuan narrates those past events to Tang Xian, he still cannot recall them.

But sealing memories—this was something he had done once before.

It was only after Qi Yuan unsealed a certain memory that Tang Xian understood why he had insisted on leaving Qi Yuan for last.

“How long have you been here?” Tang Xian asked.

“Not too long. From the Holy Land of Eden to finding you, it’s been just about twenty days.” Despite facing the same plight as Tang Xian, Qi Yuan appeared calm.

“I really envy the fact that your memories have so many names to draw from.”

“I am an Observer of Order. All of humanity is under my surveillance. Naturally, the number of people I’ve encountered in my memory far exceeds yours. You may be the most intelligent among humans, but in the end, you are still merely human.”

“So, you have to be able to find Eden’s Master’s true form, right?” In Tang Xian’s gaze at Qi Yuan, there was a certain kind of hope.

Qi Yuan shook her head and mocked him:

“You already know that this so-called true form is a myth, yet you still deceive yourself into believing it?”

Tang Xian froze, then his expression turned to one of deep sorrow.

“Here, we can’t defeat it. You have to go back.”

“I so wish there was truly an endpoint here. You can’t imagine what I’ve been through these past days.”

Endlessly losing the memories of important people, nearly losing his humanity, only to ultimately regain it again.

Even though he knew he still had a trump card, recalling the seven hundred days of experiences left Tang Xian still in unbearable pain.

Qi Yuan said:

“Time flows differently here than in the outside world. Still, I suppose it suffices as a crucible to temper one’s will. I haven’t been human for long, nor do I share any cherished memories with humans, but you have already tasted that cycle of gain and loss. You’ve endured the cruelest trial within Eden’s Master’s illusion. Now, you should return to reality.”

Tang Xian nodded.

He truly needed to go back.

Only by returning could he retrieve everything.

“What about you?” Tang Xian asked.

“I, of course, must remain here. We need to understand one thing: in a place where no hope should exist, we must be prepared for the worst. You’ve been tormented by Eden’s Master for so long; you should realize that this place is ultimately inescapable. Everything you’ve seen here is merely what it wanted you to see. You’ve already sacrificed too many memories to it.”

Tang Xian felt a shiver of dread.

If one person were to possess all the memories of another, and they happened to look identical—

Then that person could completely replace the other.

Should Eden’s Master now choose to impersonate Tang Xian, it could deceive almost everyone—including Tang Jing.

After a long silence, Tang Xian finally smiled faintly.

In the midst of misfortune, there was one small solace: he had never written down that one particular name.

It was because of Li Xiaoyu that he had reverted from being a monster back into a human being.

“So you’re going to be stuck here forever?” Tang Xian sounded somewhat skeptical.

“Yes. You can rest assured that there will no longer be any Observers of Order among humans—or rather, the war between humanity and the Observers is over.”

“I don’t believe you.”

Tang Xian refrained from explaining his reasons; he just felt that Qi Yuan wouldn’t concede so easily.

Qi Yuan didn’t bother to justify herself either.

She simply said:

“I’ve already calculated the time ratio between this world and the real world. Judging by the time, you’ll be leaving soon.”

Tang Xian and the Observer of Order were mortal enemies.

You could say that throughout his life, he and Tang Jing had been resisting the Observers of Order.

The two were bound to clash eventually, yet who would’ve thought that the last person he’d encounter in this godforsaken place would be Qi Yuan?

“Is there anything else you want to say before I leave?”

The one who imprisoned everyone in the divine kingdom would, in the end, be eternally imprisoned in another divine kingdom.

Tang Xian felt no sympathy for Qi Yuan. He asked symbolically, solely out of their cooperative arrangement.

“This transaction, it seems, has cost me the most. You often claim that anyone who makes a deal with you will never suffer a loss.” Qi Yuan looked at Tang Xian.

Tang Xian did not deny it.

“Good, then. You’ll understand later what I need you to do.”

“If I’m able to do it, I will. But only this once.”

Their conversation hence concluded. Tang Xian turned and walked into the cave, awaiting the moment of his departure.

Qi Yuan, however, wrote a name on the signpost Tang Xian had hesitated to inscribe a name on. That name was Tang Xian.

Thus, their entanglement reached its conclusion amidst the ruins of Eden.

The world would no longer have the Observers of Order—at least, none like Qi Yuan anymore.

…

…

The God Throne.

In the Watcher’s chamber, Tang Jing watched as countless beasts and mechanical armies tore through the base of the Pyramid and began advancing toward Baichuan City. He grew increasingly anxious.

Yet Tang Jing could not leave, because the half-dead Tang Xian before him had yet to wake.

No matter how he tried, Tang Xian simply wouldn’t wake up. Bringing him along would only make him a complete burden.

Though the two shared the same face, this version of Tang Xian had withered and aged, having long ceased to absorb the nutrients needed to sustain life.

Why would someone place such a person in the seventh chamber?

This was the question Tang Jing had been pondering for days. And today, he finally had an answer.

Because “Tang Xian” was now slowly opening his eyes. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Tang Jing had been staring at the Watcher’s monitors, but when he heard the sound, he instinctively turned around—and he witnessed a scene that left him spellbound.

It was as though he were watching someone’s life reverse course. The withered, frail, and emaciated Tang Xian was gradually becoming young again, his vitality surging back at an astonishing pace.
