"You'd better make it clear what Ghost Valley means by disaster," Wu Liang grabbed the kneeling man's collar and pulled him up to ask.

The ultimate purpose of this trip to the Celestial Pool of Tianshan was actually not achieved by Wu Liang.

He wanted to understand the true origins of the Promised Land and what happened to his parents here back then.

But inside the Peach Blossom Spring, his mother, due to a curse, divided her soul into three parts—becoming the Sealed Yao Qingxue, Commoner Yao Qingxue, and the soul consciousness within the Obsidian Necklace.

Only recently did they succeed in recognizing each other, and although their memories had largely recovered, there were inevitably some gaps.

Before leaving, his mother told him that she might be able to recover all her memories within a month, so she gave Wu Liang a communicator that could ignore spatial distance, saying that once she fully recalled what happened in the cave back then, she would inform Wu Liang immediately.

Therefore, there was no need to be anxious about this part of the information.

But the origin of the Promised Land was indeed something Wu Liang couldn't learn from anyone else.

Especially since the Zodiac Pig had said before—whether it was Ghost Valley or the Pioneer, both admitted that their original ideals came from Wu Xiaoyao.

"Ghost is the ultimate destination for humanity" and "The Awakened are the next chapter in human evolution."

These two shocking ideas could come from anyone, but they should not have come from Wu Xiaoyao!

Because normally, after Wu Xiaoyao retrieved his memories of the old world and Yao Qingxue entered the cave, his fate had already reached its end!

At that time, he had already sacrificed his soul to the Stone Slab, exchanging it for Wu Liang's survival.

Where would he have had the time to study things like fierce ghosts and the Awakened?

To know all these, one would have to start with Ghost Valley and the Pioneer.

Now that Ghost Valley was dead, only the Pioneer remained, so Wu Liang tried his best to bind his consciousness fragments, attempting to learn everything through the shell currently imprisoned in the Peach Blossom Spring.

Unexpectedly, there were still remnants of Ghost Valley who could provide relevant information.

Wu Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed.

But because of the threat posed by the "Mental Cage" previously created by the Pioneer, he didn't immediately have the Nightmare directly read the memories of the three people.

"Mr. Ghost Valley said that this world would eventually undergo a great change, a disaster would lead an army of fierce ghosts to bring all of humanity into the supernatural era, where everyone would be a fierce ghost, and there would be no fear of the supernatural!" The kneeling man's voice grew more and more passionate.

This made Wu Liang suddenly recall what Ghost Valley and Wu Xiaoyao once said.

Everything they implemented in Chengyang City was to transform all of humanity into fierce ghosts, achieving the goal of humans and the supernatural merging completely.

That way, there would be no need to worry about supernatural powers harming anyone—because everyone would be a fierce ghost.

"Interesting, what Ghost Valley said to them probably mostly referred to himself, after all, controlling artificial ghosts is currently something only Ghost Valley can do," Wu Liang pondered over the events unfolding.

He felt as if he had found a strange path—

Ghost Valley has always claimed that he was doing everything for revolution, to save the world, and he would create a milestone in the era of change.

Undoubtedly, his uncle also had his own way of saving the world.

Although he is now dead, if he pretends to inherit his will to join the Promised Land...

Wouldn't that give him a better chance of finding the whereabouts of the Pioneer?

Thinking of this, Wu Liang's gaze toward the three in front of him became strange.

Then he suddenly bent over and helped the three in front of him up, the strange expression in his eyes turning into unwavering determination, speaking with heartfelt sincerity and a tinge of sorrow, "That's right! The supernatural calamity Mr. Ghost Valley spoke of is me!"

"You all think I killed Mr. Ghost Valley! However, the truth is not so!"

"The real culprit is—the Pioneer!"

"I was originally a direct disciple of Mr. Ghost Valley, always infiltrating the official authorities. Until Mr. Ghost Valley secretly summoned me back to reveal a new plan, he found a hidden trick left by the Pioneer on himself that would soon take his life, so he asked me to kill him with my own hands to prevent the commencement of city destruction ghostification!"

At this point, Wu Liang's eyes couldn't help but shed a few tears.

As if he truly recalled some heart-wrenching memories, even his voice began to tremble.

The three former subordinates of Ghost Valley in front of him were completely stunned, their brains seemingly incapable of processing the situation.

Why would Mr. Ghost Valley ask this young man to kill him to prevent Chengyang City's ghostification?

"I know this is absurd, but the reality is that Mr. Ghost Valley's vision had already surpassed all of us!" Wu Liang spoke passionately: "What he wanted was the supernatural era for all of humanity!"

"When he believed his life was at risk, he still initiated Chengyang City's ghostification for a simple reason! And that was to build my momentum!"

"A mere Chengyang City wasn't important at all, but I, as an official infiltrator, saving this major crisis in front of the entire nation meant that I would receive the attention and trust of the official authorities! Becoming the people's hero!

"Mr. Ghost Valley used his own life to give me an opportunity to climb to the top of the official leadership without being suspected!"

"What he truly wanted was for me to completely control the official authorities, then secretly unite the Promised Land and the authorities, the strongest organizations in secret and in public, leading the nation into the process of ghostification step by step! Ultimately, spreading from the country to the globe!"

At this moment, what Wu Liang said was absurd yet revealed a hint of reason.

After all, there was indeed some truth in what he said, such as—

Ghost Valley was indeed killed by the Pioneer, and his final suicide was due to the Pioneer's consciousness transfer control; Wu Liang did indeed gain the trust and attention of the official authorities because of this, even becoming the Zodiac Monkey; Ghost Valley indeed wanted humanity to enter the era of ghostification.

But a normal event, if retold out of sequence—

Then it becomes no longer normal!

He simply turned the Pioneer's backstabbing of Ghost Valley into the premise of everything.

The nature of the whole event became Ghost Valley's sacrificial path, a heroic act to pave the way for his disciple's future, also solidifying his determination to save the world!

Most importantly, the three people in front of him truly did not expect that the Wu Liang, now seen as the people's hero...

Could be so shameless as to completely portray himself as the villain!

As the three were still pondering, a group of fierce ghost minions beside them, having heard the boss's villainous speech, quietly shook their heads and sighed.

Especially the Puppet Ghost, incredulously said, "Damn, I hadn't even painted the boss as a villain, how did he start it himself?"
