50: Chapter 50 Big Con Man Zhang Xiaoman 50: Chapter 50 Big Con Man Zhang Xiaoman Su Fu stood in place, silent, and Zhang Xiaoman did not urge him.
Although he was still not clear about the concept of Alien Species, that did not hinder his ability to improvise on the spot.
Su Fu appeared deeply conflicted, his face slightly flushed, at times opening his mouth as if to speak, at times pursing his lips in deep thought.
It was apparent that he truly wanted to know, yet he was fraught with hesitation.
Su need not force himself; knowing the truth may not always be a blessing.
Sometimes, being able to close your eyes is also a form of happiness,”
Zhang Xiaoman said, feeling sentimental.
Upon hearing these words, Su Fu seemed to suddenly think of something, his face turning bright red and his breathing becoming heavier, echoing around the empty room.
Just as Zhang Xiaoman felt something was off, he heard a voice filled with excitement and longing not far from him, which interrupted Su Fu who was about to speak.
I don’t want to live in ignorance!
I want to know the truth!!”
Xiao Shun, who had been unconscious, suddenly sat up looking excitedly at Zhang Xiaoman, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Zhang Xiaoman was startled by his sudden outburst, but his recently strengthened mental resilience came into play.
He calmly shook his head with a smile, as if he had known all along that Xiao Shun was feigning unconsciousness:
“Well, since you spoke up first, it saves me from having to ask you again later.”
Xiao Shun’s eyes narrowed, then his eyes gleamed with ecstasy.
At that moment, Su Fu lowered his head, the expression on his face changing several times, as countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Only when he noticed Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze did he lift his head, revealing a resolute look.
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and nodded, saying, “Since that is the case, let me tell you about the origins of these things, but I hope that after listening, you will not casually inform others …”
The two nodded frantically in agreement.
Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze turned to the window, activating his ability to make up stories on the spot.
“In this world, there are no gods or demons, no evil spirits or monsters, but there are some beings that ordinary people cannot contend with, known as the Alien Species.”
“Alien Species are strange and varied; they could be living organisms, energy bodies, or even a mass of lethal aura… but one thing about them is the same—they are not from our world but from a singularity with similar rules.”
The two looked perplexed.
“Think of a singularity as something external to our domain,”
Zhang Xiaoman then repeated the theory he had once used to bamboozle Brother Hero.
After a while, Xiao Shun nodded with a realization:
“I understand now, the singularity isn’t a parallel universe; the so-called parallel universes share the same rules as ours and still exist within our singularity.
The other singularities are unknown realms with entirely different rules from ours, and these monsters come from there!”
Zhang Xiaoman nodded in satisfaction, surprised that someone could understand the theory he had concocted.
“Exactly, in the high-dimensional space, countless singularities do not interfere with each other due to different rules.
Yet, some singularities begin to blend due to increasingly similar evolved rules, and these monsters, they are from there.”
No wonder it’s so bizarre, to even develop from an energy body into a fleshly form …”
Su Fu nodded earnestly, then suddenly changed his expression and asked:
Zhang, are you saying that our world is currently undergoing a fusion with another world?
Then won’t these monsters…”
Zhang Xiaoman applauded their understanding, which was much better than that unreliable Brother Hero.
His expression was serious, and he nodded solemnly:
“The process of world fusion is extremely lengthy, especially for us humans.
Thus, these monsters have actually existed since ancient times…”
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic: “However, this relatively slow fusion has suddenly accelerated now!”
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and said:
“I’m not too sure about the specifics, but I’ve heard from my mentor that this fusion once suddenly stopped three hundred years ago, yet now it has resumed and even begun to speed up crazily!
The speed is terrifying!
So fast that it’s hard to imagine!
I can feel it, the ‘Great Fusion’ is not far off…”
“What should we do!?” Xiao Shun exclaimed.
Zhang Xiaoman frowned and said, “The intensifying fusion means that the frequency of the Alien Species’ arrivals will also become increasingly higher.
And I have also been trying by various means to find others like me, other Transcendents…”
“So, have you found anyone?” Su Fu asked with concern.
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head sadly.
“I’m afraid, besides me, there are no other Transcendents left in this world…”
Upon hearing this, both of them were shocked.
Zhang Xiaoman showed a look of deep sorrow.
“Before this, I was not alone; I had my mentor—Ling Wushuang.”
“Unfortunately, my mentor has passed away…”
As Zhang Xiaoman said this, his eyes revealed endless memories.
“Thirteen years ago, my mentor had discovered a massive Dimension Rift.
In order to find out the reason, he crossed the rift alone to the other side.
There, he saw countless Alien Species…”
“What happened next!”
“Afterward, my mentor was surrounded, but he fought through the Alien Species’ army desperately to escape.
Moreover, after crossing back, he used his powerful Extraordinary Power to dissolve the singularity rift…
Unfortunately, he was severely wounded and passed away soon after.”
“Before he passed away, my mentor entrusted me with a legacy called ‘Forest Guardian’, although this legacy has now declined, even culminating in only me being left…
But I will not fail his expectations, I will do everything I can to protect our world, even if I am the only one left…”
“To this day, I still remember the words my mentor whispered in my ear just before he died.”
“The world is a forest, and we, are the Forest Guardians…”
After Zhang Xiaoman finished speaking, he wanted to gauge their reactions, but after waiting for quite a while, the two men remained silent, and the room suddenly fell into quietness.
perhaps my attempt to impress fail?
But in such a short span of time, I really couldn’t think of any grandiose name…”
Just as he was about to speak to ease the awkward silence, he suddenly heard Xiao Shun breathing rapidly.
Then he saw him excitedly trying to get out of bed, continuously shouting:
Can I become your disciple?
I want to learn the Extraordinary Power!
I want to join the Forest Guardians!
I want to protect this world!!”
