487 There Are Only True-Self Experts in the Long River of Time!
Lin Feng noticed that Zhou Tiansheng’s verification seemed to indicate that he knew there were issues on the Island Country.
However, it was already so obvious now. If he did not know, there would be a problem!
Zhou Tiansheng did not say it directly. Instead, he asked, “Lin Feng, can you tell me what happened in the future?”
Lin Feng did not hesitate and nodded. Originally, those were all bad memories, but he had recalled them countless times in the darkness. Now, even if he brought them up, it would not affect his state of mind at all.
“In the future, the Divine Realm completely merged with reality, and there was a great war between the human race and the alien races. They fought for a long time, and many strong human warriors died.
“However, other than General Qin, none of you attacked. At that time, I was only a newly advanced divine-level expert, but my combat strength was not bad. Therefore, after leading the human race to win some wars, I directly led some human experts to conquer the foreign races.
“Eventually, I was betrayed by Qianye Yuan, and after death, I traveled back in time.”
Lin Feng spoke very simply. Moreover, when he spoke of his death, it was as if he was narrating someone else’s story. It was so natural and effortless.
Zhou Tiansheng looked deeply at Lin Feng, the Lin Feng who had returned from the God Burial Desert seemed to possess an extraordinary strength of spirit!
Although Lin Feng didn’t provide much detail, Zhou Tiansheng was deeply puzzled.
“This shouldn’t be the case. In my current plan, the original intention was that once the Divine Realm merged with reality, we would quickly gather the forces of the alien races. Even if we didn’t take action, relying solely on Old Qin would have been enough. Could there be some unexpected factors?” Zhou Tiansheng furrowed his brow.
“As for what you said about Qianye Yuan’s betrayal…” Zhou Tiansheng sighed, as if he had already guessed it, but was reluctant to believe it.
After all, he was someone who had fought his way through the same era as them. This outcome was really difficult to accept.
Similar to how they handled the situation with the Tang family back then, even though they knew that the son of the other party had been involved in the battle in Tianfeng City and had caused the death of Zhou Weiming, Zhou Tiansheng still found it difficult to take harsh actions.
Zhou Tiansheng often said that there was no one who could not die, but that was for his family. After all, he felt that he was not qualified to make such a request to his former comrades.
That was why he supported Lin Fen becoming the head of the Department of Investigation Services, while Lin Feng remained just a deputy.
Because, although Lin Fen might be insane, he was ruthless enough. Anything detrimental to the human race, he could decisively eliminate.
“Sigh!” Zhou Tiansheng sighed. “Back then, after a few of us established the nation, Qianye Yuan said that there would definitely be traitors among the human race.
“So he was willing to be the leader of those traitors, gathering the forces of betrayal. After all, it’s better to have them concentrated rather than scattered.
“And later, he did indeed do well. The cults were chaotic, but he managed to keep them under control.
“Even though we knew that some evil sect members had fled to the Island Country, we didn’t intervene because we believed that that guy could handle it.”
“…”
“But I didn’t expect that he would truly betray us.”
Lin Feng also shook his head.
“From what you’ve described, it seems that we didn’t go to war in the past because of him. After all, he was very familiar with us,” Zhou Tiansheng said, his expression suddenly changing.
“Looks like I need to make some preparations.”
Lin Feng nodded. As for why Zhou Tiansheng knew about the betrayal but didn’t take direct action, he had no discontent or doubts.
Because he couldn’t take direct action.
Even if one knew that many people from the evil sect were in the Island Country, they could not act rashly.
This was because Qianye Yuan was the earliest batch of divine level experts. If they told those ordinary people that such a divine level expert was a traitor, how much of a blow would it be to the confidence of the human race?
Previously, when Matsui Zheno forced Lin Feng to leave, it was clear to anyone that he intended to kill Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng still didn’t directly kill him.
Not only because he was a pawn on the surface, but also because killing him might lead to uncontrollable consequences.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this might only be a conflict of interest between large countries. However, if they killed a divine level expert, it might cause an opposition. Then, public opinion would tilt to one side.
Even Matsui Zheno would force Lin Feng, let alone Qianye Yuan.
At that time, if the other party said that the Dragon Country was not only deliberately targeting the Island Country, but was even killing the divine level experts of the Island Country and deliberately weakening the strength of the human race, what would those ordinary people think?
They would only see Dragon Country using its power to suppress others, appearing extremely authoritarian, and they wouldn’t delve into the underlying reasons.
Therefore, at that time, Lin Feng needed the other party to make the first move. This way, even if he severed Matsui Zheno’s arms, he would still firmly stand on the side of justice.
After Zhou Tiansheng’s expression changed for a while, he bowed respectfully to Landry again and said to Lin Feng, “Now that it’s clear that Qianye Yuan has betrayed us, I need to make some preparations.”
“Senior, Lin Feng, I’ll take my leave first.”
Lin Feng nodded, and Landry did not say anything either.
Then, Zhou Tiansheng disappeared. Lin Feng looked out of the window and narrowed his eyes.
Could this senior disciple of his really have forgotten everything, including the hourglass of Zhong Ya that he recognized at a glance?
Moreover, upon hearing about Qianye Yuan’s betrayal, there was surprise and tension, but it didn’t seem like the tension was so intense.
There was definitely something being concealed.
For example, after Qianye Yuan’s betrayal, who did he ally with? Was it the ancient foreign races or the enemies of the God Race?
Zhou Tiansheng did not even discuss this with him before directly leaving.
Lin Feng looked in the direction of the Island Country and smiled at Landry. “Fellow Daoist, since you���re here, would you like to go somewhere with me?”
