"Wheel of Fortune" couldn't help but look at the white-haired boy beside her. The problem of "the world" made it difficult for her not to think about the answer to this question.

Because in a way, she does have that ability.

And, she has used this ability to help Temperance more than once.

Was it because of her abuse of her abilities that led to Temperance's current state?

She doesn't know.

But it is undeniable that she took too much from temperance.

Every time she helped, she felt anxious and wanted to stop, but... when she realized what was happening, there was no way to stop.

Even later on, she could feel the changes in Jiezhi, but gradually, she rarely saw Jiezhi smile from the heart, and even his words were becoming more and more... cold, or to be precise - quite polite but cruel.

The monster...has grown up under her repeated indulgence.

When Temperance faced her, it was no longer a negotiation, but... an order.

Emotions are abandoned and reason takes over all decisions, just like a machine that can be operated precisely without any other considerations.

This kind of existence is terrifying, but when it possesses powerful strength, it will be a disaster.

Given Temperance's current state, she even reasonably suspected that something unusual had happened to Temperance, something that almost transcended the control of the "world", leading to Temperance's current situation.

The more the "Wheel of Fortune" thought about it, the more it seemed reasonable. When she tried to raise her head, her eyes met the gaze of "the world".

But it was that look that made her tremble instantly.

It's clear.

It was a look of understanding, a look that seemed to have... seen through everything.

The Wheel of Fortune couldn't help but gasp.

But the next moment, the "world" looked away.

The invisible pressure on her body seemed to disappear suddenly, and "Wheel of Fortune" let out a breath. She was a little confused for a moment - with the question just now, was "the world" asking Shi Si, or was it asking... her?

……

"Final Fate", Southern Xinjiang.

The highest peak in southern Xinjiang, a place infested with thousands of poisonous insects and rarely visited by people, welcomed two rare guests today.

One was an old man wearing a slightly worn dark red robe decorated with gold, while the other was a short boy with short light chestnut hair, wearing a white laboratory uniform.

The old man's expression was a bit arrogant and contemptuous, while the young man's face had his usual gentle curve.

An old man was in a cave at the top of the mountain, fiddling with a poisonous insect in his hand with great interest. In his wrinkled hand was a milky white insect that was constantly wriggling, with two tiny wings on its back that were as thin as cicada wings and had an inexplicable pattern on them.

"It looks about the same as the previous insect. I just don't know which of these two 'insect kings' who emerged from the battle among millions of poisonous insects is the real king among kings..."

"Perhaps, I should think about how to find a host for this new insect king, and then compete with the insect king who once deceived me and is now at large!"

As he said this, a trace of exasperation flashed across the old man's face.

But soon, that trace of anger disappeared.

He hunched his back and slowly turned his head. He was not surprised to see two people, one tall and one short, standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Who of you two is willing to appreciate my masterpiece? Or, who is willing to become the host of this insect king? If you get it, you will gain power that you can't even imagine!"

He spoke with confidence, as if the insect in his hand that could replace its host was some invaluable treasure.

But it was obvious that neither of the two people who arrived had any idea about it.

The old man wearing the crown looked uninterested. In his eyes, there was no unimaginable power that could be stronger than the "world". Since he could not strengthen the "world", then no matter how great the power was, it was meaningless.

The young man in laboratory uniform walked up to the old man. His eyes paused on the milky white insect in the old man's hand, and then he looked at the old man in front of him.

"I think I've seen this kind of bug somewhere."

He stared at the old man in front of him and smiled, "So it was your hand."

"At that time, I was wondering what kind of existence could give a bug the ability to transform like that, and such a tenacious desire to survive and vitality... Now, I seem to understand a little bit."

"As an ordinary insect, the long battle will indeed make the instinct of survival deeply imprinted in its actions and thoughts... I think I probably understand why it is still fighting for survival even though it is obviously desperate."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the insect in his hand, then looked at the young man in front of him, and then his eyes brightened as if he understood something.

"You mean... you've seen a bug that looks very similar to the one in my hand?"

There was unconcealable excitement in his old tone.

"Great! It's really great! The insect that deceived me is still alive, so let's use its death to witness the birth of the Insect King!"

There was no concealment in his words, and the young man in the laboratory uniform frowned slightly after hearing them.

"Did you hear me? I said - it was in despair. It was seriously injured at the time. It seemed that it knew it could not survive. It was in despair in its heart."

The boss emphasized it again.

"despair?!"

The old man screamed while holding the insect in his hand.

"A deceitful bug deserves despair! I created it and gave it life, and that white-haired thing that I don't know what it is just took it from me to another place and lived for a few days in another identity. And this traitorous bug changed its heart, changed its heart!"

"It used the 'Heart-Breaking Gu' to trick me into taking three 'Slave Gu'! Three! Do you think the 'Slave Gu' is easy to refine? I have treasured them for many years! Most importantly, I can feel that my three treasures died not long after it took them away!"

"That's all my hard work! Hard work!!"

As the old man spoke, he covered his heart somewhat exaggeratedly, looking extremely sad.

"So, tell me! How should I react when I hear about its plight?! Should I sympathize with it?!"

“I even think it deserves it!”

"Besides, there aren't many things that can make it feel desperate. Maybe it was used and abandoned by that ghostly white-haired kid who started robbing people at the slightest disagreement. Isn't that what it deserves! At that time, the bug tricked me just for that white-haired kid, and I was really fooled by it!"

"I've long seen that white-haired boy doesn't look like a good person!!!"

The Gu refiner seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and he spoke incessantly with an angry look on his face. At the end, he looked like he was so disappointed with his cabbages being eaten by pigs that he felt very disappointed with them.

"Hey, young man, you said you saw that bug. Is it still alive now?"

Finally, the old man coughed twice, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked seriously.

"Do you want him dead or alive?"

The boss smiled slightly and did not answer, but asked calmly.

"I?!"

The old man pointed at himself and said, "Of course I want it to die!"
