Xu Liunian was greatly startled and hurriedly turned around.

To search for someone, she had come to “Heaven’s Mouth” early on, only to discover that someone inside had been massacring people all along. Unable to resist such powerful abilities herself, she could only hide to the side.

Just now, seeing Qi Xia walk in, she suddenly changed her mind. She was preparing to enter with a different identity to talk to him, but she didn’t expect that five people were following behind Qi Xia. Now all her plans had fallen through, and she could only deal with the people before her first.

But before she could think of a new countermeasure, she suddenly stared at the several people before her in a daze.

As the saying goes, after searching everywhere to no avail, one finds it without any effort at all.

The Qiao Jiajin she had been thinking about finding was actually right before her eyes.

“What’s wrong, Sister Xu?” Chen Junnan said with a serious expression. “If you want to transform, go ahead and transform. Just pretend we’re not here. We’re just passing through.”

“Qiao Jiajin.” Xu Liunian called out. “I have something to tell you.”

Qiao Jiajin was slightly stunned after hearing this, then turned his face to look at Chen Junnan and Tiantian. Finally, his gaze returned to Xu Liunian, and he pointed at himself with a confused expression: “Me?”

“Yes, can we talk privately?” Xu Liunian asked again.

“But I’m not familiar with you.” Qiao Jiajin scratched his head. “Whatever it is, just say it openly here.”

After hearing this, Xu Liunian looked at the several people before her—Chen Junnan, Qin Dingdong, Zhang Lijuan, and an unfamiliar little boy.

For a moment, Xu Liunian felt that her request was indeed a bit unreasonable. No matter how one looked at it, these people before her were all in the same group, while she herself didn’t belong to any camp. If that was the case… could she achieve her final wish?

“Qiao Jiajin.” Xu Liunian took a step forward and said with a serious expression: “I have a method that can completely liberate this place. As long as you’re willing to help, all of this can end right here.”

“Huh?” Qiao Jiajin was stunned. “What are you talking about?”

The two looked at each other, and Qin Dingdong hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xu Liunian: “Alright, alright, our A’Jin knows now. You should leave quickly, student.”

Chen Junnan also hurriedly put his arm around Qiao Jiajin’s shoulder and said: “Yeah, yeah, Old Qiao, don’t listen to her. This person is selling something. Let’s not listen, okay?”

“Ah…?” Both Qiao Jiajin and Xu Liunian were stunned at the same time.

Seeing the scene become chaotic for a moment, Xu Liunian also became anxious. She hurriedly pushed the two aside and said sternly: “Do you all know about this method… but are keeping it from Qiao Jiajin?”

“We know, we know.” Chen Junnan muddied the waters. “We’re not buying. Thank you.”

As he spoke, he was about to pull Qiao Jiajin away from the scene.

How could he not know about the method Xu Liunian mentioned?

When he and Qin Dingdong were together on the rooftop listening to Qi Xia say the four words “Life After Life,” they had already vaguely sensed something.

The “Land of the End” was like a huge cage, trapping everyone here in an endless cycle of “life after life.”

If all this was truly because of Qi Xia, then one sentence from Qiao Jiajin might very well change the current situation, but what consequences that would bring was also unknown.

“What exactly are you all doing…” Xu Liunian grabbed Chen Junnan’s arm. “Do you really want to keep cycling here forever…?”

Chen Junnan slowly stopped after hearing this, turned his head and said: “Xu Liunian… don’t even think about it. No matter what Old Qiao means, I’m the first one who won’t agree anyway.”

“It’s just one sentence!!” Xu Liunian shouted. “No matter what… we have to at least try, right?”

Qiao Jiajin was getting confused by the several people before him: “What sentence?”

“I said no means no.” Chen Junnan said. “You should go do whatever you need to do.”

“Why…?” Xu Liunian said in confusion. “If we can be liberated, all of this will end! All of us won’t have to cycle anymore… the suffering we’ve endured will also stop here. Why aren’t you willing to try?”

Seeing the girl before her so anxious, Qin Dingdong inexplicably felt some heartache.

Although she was desperately pleading, if things truly happened as she wished, she would also be completely annihilated.

Would anyone in this world plead for a result that had no benefit for themselves?

“Fine…” Chen Junnan nodded. “Since you really have this question, I’ll answer you. First, we’re not certain that the root of all this comes from Old Qi, nor are we certain whether Old Qiao’s ‘Breaking All Laws’ is useful against all this or not.”

“That’s why I’m saying we can try…”

“Second.” Chen Junnan interrupted. “You have no right to decide the ending for others. The population of the ‘Land of the End’ amounts to over ten thousand people. How can you be certain that all these people are willing to accept complete annihilation, willing to accept ‘liberation’? What if they don’t want to leave? What if they don’t want to disappear? What if they’re willing to stay here?”

After hearing this, Xu Liunian slowly lowered her head: “It’s precisely because they can never preserve their memories… that someone who can preserve memories long-term needs to help them make the decision…”

“But from their perspective, what’s the difference between you—a person who descends from the sky under the banner of doing good for them but causing their complete annihilation—and the villain in a story?”

“But you know I’m right…” Xu Liunian said. “Isn’t this decision the most direct and useful method at present?”

Chen Junnan didn’t answer, only looked at her with a complex expression.

“The real us might have already left long ago…” Xu Liunian said with a slightly choked voice. “We’re just a group of replicas waiting to be liberated… Why exactly must we suffer like this…? Why can another version of us leave… while we have to suffer here?”

“Don’t think about it.” Chen Junnan said. “Maybe the real us haven’t left either, and if we die now, we’re truly dead. Besides, Old Qiao isn’t a tool to fulfill your personal wishes. He has his own thoughts.”

Hearing this sentence, Xu Liunian also fell into a long silence.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head and said: “Neither of us can convince the other, so let Qiao Jiajin choose for himself. How about that?”

“Oh?”

“Just this once.” Xu Liunian said. “This matter requires his power to begin with. If he can’t agree, then no matter what, I won’t succeed anyway. So as long as he personally refuses me, I’ll never mention this matter again.”

Now that the choice had returned to Qiao Jiajin’s hands, he appeared even more confused.

“What exactly are you all talking about? What’s this about liberation with one sentence?” He looked at Chen Junnan, then at Xu Liunian. “What does this matter have to do with me anyway?”

After hearing this, Chen Junnan thought for a moment and spoke: “Old Qiao, we suspect that everyone is cycling here right now because of Old Qi’s ‘Life After Life,’ and you are ‘Breaking All Laws.’ Are you willing to use your ‘Breaking All Laws’ to break this curse of endless reincarnation?”
