Thinking about the previous situation, Jiang Wen could not help but sigh in her heart. At this moment, she felt an inexplicable sense of sadness.

As heaven could tell, she had originally only wanted to come here to slack. How could she have thought that she would get involved in so many things, but it was all good now.

She had witnessed Chen Heng’s secret. Even if she wanted to clean it up, it was no longer probable. It was impossible for her to discover the methods set up by a fifth rank.

Thus, she sensibly did not reveal any information and only repeated what Chen Heng had said earlier. Chen Heng was somewhat surprised by this and could not help but look at her meaningfully.

They walked to the side, preparing to use the memory device to replay the previous scene. Under normal circumstances, with Chen Heng’s and Jiang Wen’s identities, even if they didn’t want to retrace the scenes, it wouldn’t matter. After all, they weren’t ordinary. Even if it were just a simple retrace, it would easily expose a lot of secrets.

But Chen Heng still went, looking honest. Then, the scenes in the memory device reappeared, which was the scenes from before. However, the replayed scenes were still somewhat different from before.

For Chen Heng, the biggest difference was that he had changed from a participant in the battle to a bystander. Even Jiang Wen’s memory had changed to a certain extent, and some details had been modified.

Even though the people observing the recording had grave expressions throughout the entire process, none of them noticed the problem. Jiang Wen looked at the scene before her, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.

“Captain… how did he do it?” She looked at Chen Heng, and this doubt arose in her mind.

The scenes replayed in the memory device were all the previous memories, and memories should not be faked. But now…

“Wait…” Jiang Wen was initially puzzled, but then she suddenly stopped and recalled the scenes from before.

Before this, everything that happened during the battle was still vivid in her mind, very clear, without the slightest bit of obscurity. However, at this moment, under Jiang Wen’s memories, there was another memory. In that memory, Chen Heng was not a fifth rank, but just a bystander.

Their memories were completely different, and there were many areas of conflict between them. However, at this moment, these two memories appeared so clearly in her mind concurrently.

‘This is…’ Feeling the new memory that appeared in her mind, Jiang Wen’s back was already drenched in a cold sweat. At this moment, she felt a faint sense of fear and subconsciously looked to the side.

Not far away, Chen Heng was still standing there, gently smiling, giving people a good impression of him.

He seemed to sense Jiang Wen’s gaze on him, and he turned around and looked at her, revealing a warm smile. Their gazes intersected, and in an instant, Jiang Wen shuddered, did not dare to think about it anymore.

After that, she behaved very honestly, where every action followed the performance of that brand-new memory. There was nothing unusual about it.

Looking at Jiang Wen’s current appearance, Chen Heng smiled and did not say anything. The abnormality on Jiang Wen’s body was a result of his work, creating a new memory and implanting it into someone else’s mind. This kind of operation was somewhat inconceivable to the people of this world, but it was not difficult for Chen Heng, who used to be a wizard and possessed divinity.

This world also had a certain degree of research on spiritual power. Powerful martial artists had strong spiritual power and could better control the mechas and unleash even stronger power. However, even so, compared to Chen Heng, the use of spiritual power in this world was still too rough.

If Chen Heng wanted to, he could not only implant a false memory fragment but could even use this memory to overwrite his original memory and make one believes that this false experience was true and wouldn’t have too many doubts. But it was just unnecessary.

If he wanted to do that, Jiang Wen could become a retard with her mind being distorted and prone to problems. But Chen Heng didn’t do that. After all, she was still his subordinate.

Judging from their interactions during this period, it was still pleasant. Hence, there was no need to go so far. As long as they could ensure that the other party was unable to leak the matter out, that would be enough.

‘After settling that fellow, I should be able to delay him for some time.’ Chen Heng thought as he looked towards the outside world.

In the original trajectory, Ghost Hand Olly should have been displaying his abilities. In Lu Yao’s original fate, she had been under a lot of pressure in the early stages. To put it bluntly, this was the first obstacle that Lu Yao, as the chosen one, encountered on her way to becoming the main character. It would be a nightmare for her for a long time.

However, now, he was shattered by Chen Heng and died, leaving behind only residues on the ground. It was quite miserable as compared to his original fate. However, this was for the best. At least without Ghost Hand Olly, the troubles that Lu Yao would have encountered would disappear.

The group of people who had descended to Qika planet would probably be much more restrained and wouldn’t dare to carry on such a large-scale search. After all, from what Chen Heng knew, among the group of people who had descended this time, there were only two fifth ranks like Ghost Hand Olly.

The difference in strength between these two fifth ranks wasn’t too big. Hence, after Olly’s death, not only did they lose a top-rank powerhouse, they wouldn’t dare to be so high-profile if they had some intelligence because if Chen Heng could kill Olly, he could kill the other fifth ranks.

Under such circumstances, the difference between the strong and the weak had already been overturned. If the other party had been wise enough, he would have hidden and would not have chased after Lu Yao in such a high-profile manner, as it seemed that they were courting death.

Therefore, Lu Yao could develop without any worries for some time. Even if there were some twists and turns, there would not be too much danger.

Of course, this was not all good news. Without difficulties and dangers, Lu Yao gained time and opportunity to develop steadily, but it also reduced her grinding.

A true powerhouse was not someone who grew out of stability. The path of a chosen one’s growth was filled with danger and terror.

Compared to the original trajectory of fate, most of Lu Yao’s difficulties today were blocked by Chen Heng. Her growth would more or less be affected, perhaps not as fast as the original trajectory.

Besides, the arrival of the Five Knights was also crucial.

Under the initial circumstances, two fifth ranks would be able to face any situation on the Qika Star. Therefore, Olly and the others would not be contacting the Five Knights hastily.

However, the situation was different now. Facing a fifth rank who was suspected to be the follower of the Golden King, the group of people would most likely call for the Five Knights, which might speed up the pace of the Five Knights’arrival.

However, this was also unavoidable. Moreover, the Five Knights guarded all areas of the star, where each person was responsible for an expansive star map. People like them could not escape easily. Therefore, even if they would arrive early, it would still take some time.

Chen Heng thought as he recalled the previous situation. All kinds of gains and losses flashed through his mind one by one. Then, he left this place, heading out.

…

Bang!

In the quiet and empty room, a crisp sound erupted. Standing in front of a table, Avril’s expression turned sour as she looked at the screen. On the screen, scenes of Chen Heng and Olly fighting were displayed.

On the scenes, Olly had been suppressed the entire time, easily killed by the ancient-armored man. Even his beast transformation could not save him. Such strength was truly terrifying, even among fifth rank powerhouses.

By the time the scenes ended, the room was silent. The people around were safe and did not dare to speak loudly.

The scenes on the screen were none other than the memory replay that was extracted from Chen Heng and Jiang Wen’s minds. After the officials finished looking at the replay, they gave Avril and the others a copy of the information and told them about the cause and effect.

“What’s going on?” Avril was still the same as before, wearing an enchanting red dress, but her face was livid as she looked at the rest of the people. She looked at the people in front of her and asked, “Why did someone suddenly come to disrupt the situation? Why? Ferrier, tell me!” Avril’s face was gloomy as she spoke.

Finally, she shifted her gaze and slowly focused on someone. It was a man who looked very old, wearing neat and tidy clothes. His body was a little thin and weak.

At a glance, he did not look like a powerhouse, but instead, he looked like a white-collar worker sitting in an office. He was being watched by Avril, and his entire body was trembling as if he was afraid.

“Why?” Avril’s voice sounded once again, and she spoke coldly, “Didn’t you say that most of the followers of the Golden King have disappeared? There are no more powerhouses who can threaten us? Then may I ask, where did this fifth rank who killed Olly come from?” She spoke coldly, and her gaze landed on Ferrier. At that moment, her eyes were filled with killing intent.

In the surroundings, a cold and gloomy atmosphere shrouded the surroundings, with a faint sound of a cat’s scream. There was a sense of danger.

“Lady Avril…” Being stared at by Avril’s gaze, Ferrier wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn’t, as there was no way to explain.

As a former follower of the Golden King, Ferrier had brought a large amount of information to Olly and the others after his betrayal. Among them, there was the truth about the Golden King.

According to Ferrier, after experiencing defeat and the long silence of the Golden King, his followers had all fallen silent. Even if there were still some left, they were all people who were not worth worrying about.

There were no powerhouses who could threaten Olly and Avril. It was precisely because of his words that Olly and Avril landed directly on this planet full of confidence.

However, it did not seem to be the case in the current situation. They had just made their move when a fifth rank powerhouse made his move and even went head-to-head with them and killed Olly.

The entire process could be described as clean and neat. Even Avril, a fifth rank powerhouse, felt fear because she knew that her strength was not much of a difference from Olly’s.

Since the other party could easily kill Olly and make him unable to fight back, it meant that it would be the same for her.

If Olly was not his threat, she would probably end up like Olly being killed easily if she were to face that person. This realization made her feel an inexplicable sense of fear. She would no longer let down her previous high and mighty status.

“Hmm!” A cold snort sounded.

Ferrier’s body flew out and crashed heavily into the wall at the side, leaving a deep dent on it. His body fell to the ground, and he was coughing up blood. From the looks of it, he was already heavily injured. But even so, he still reacted immediately. He gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily. “Miss Avril, please atone for your sins!”

“You should be glad.” A fierce light flashed in Avril’s eyes, and her face looked extremely cold. “If you weren’t still useful, you wouldn’t have become like this and would die right here. Now, get out of here.” She said coldly, with an unabashed disgust.

“Yes.” Ferrier didn’t say anything more and just nodded, then silently dragged his heavily injured body out.

His footsteps were somewhat difficult. It seemed that he had suffered a very serious injury just now, and it was unbearable. However, he did not say a word. In the end, he walked out and left the place.

Seeing that Ferrier’s figure disappeared from her sight, Avril’s gaze shifted to the other people in front of her. “The person who was in the way has already left. Now, let’s talk about it. What should we do next?”

The fear and unease in her heart seemed to have been vented out. At this moment, she looked much calmer..
