Chapter 977: A Terrifying Showdown
They share the same origin, yet they're completely opposing cores.
This means that if she wishes to become the sole presence in the chaos of the universe, she must kill Ye Wanlan and acquire the complete Origin Power.
Otherwise, as long as the origins cannot be united, it means that no matter how talented she is, she cannot become the pinnacle of power.
In this life, Lan Wanye has killed so many people, all for her unparalleled glory and brilliance.
She aims to be the strongest in the universe, so she can create a world as she desires with a mere wave.
In that world, she would have devoted followers solely loyal to her sister, loyal subordinates, and countless people willing to sacrifice for her.
She would replace Ye Wanlan and have more than what Ye Wanlan possesses.
Thus, she must kill Ye Wanlan.
Otherwise, in this lifetime, she would remain only a Time Controller, unable to become a Time Creator.
As Lan Wanye spoke those words, everyone present was visibly shocked.
Yan Tingfeng, He Jia, Lou Susu, and Lin Jiayan almost instantly stepped forward, standing in front of Ye Wanlan.
Seeing this, Lan Wanye's expression darkened little by little.
Her hands clenched, her teeth grinding audibly.
This universe is indeed unfair to her!
Since chaos deemed her and Ye Wanlan as one, their experiences from childhood to adulthood were the same...
Why did Ye Wanlan possess what she lost entirely?
Why, after enduring countless hardships, does Ye Wanlan have so many people protecting her?
Just the fall of Shenzhou alone led them to completely different paths, same road, different destiny.
What is the key change between her and Ye Wanlan?
Lan Wanye's cold gaze swept past Yan Tingfeng, looking at Lou Susu: "Why didn't you help me back then?"
Earth 723's Shenzhou still stands because of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, Yan Tingfeng.
Princess Yongning could return because of Lou Susu.
Yet, in her life, these two never appeared!
So her Shenzhou perished, her realm was gone, and she lived through sheer determination step by step.
Ye Wanlan reached out, pushing aside Yan Tingfeng and Lou Susu, and stood ahead of them.
"Because—" She lifted her gaze, quietly looking at Lan Wanye, "you're ultimately not me."
"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Lan Wanye burst into laughter, "Of course, I'm not you, I don't need these fake emotions! I, alone, can turn the Time Administration Bureau upside down!"
After speaking, her laughter ceased, her cold eyes fixed on Ye Wanlan.
Lan Wanye suddenly stepped forward, prompting Xie Linyuan, Hua Yingyue, and others to brace themselves as if faced with a formidable enemy, gripping their weapons.
"I can use the Time Administration Bureau to eliminate Earth 723, can you?" Lan Wanye's expression was scornful, "When I killed several Time Travelers, you were nothing but a failure!"
Ye Wanlan was not provoked, her demeanor remained calm.
But this calmness further infuriated Lan Wanye, who couldn't help but shout, "If you went through what I did, wouldn't you become like me?!"
Ye Wanlan finally spoke, "I would."
But because the outcome was ultimately different, choices deviated, causing their future paths to diverge significantly.
If Shenzhou truly fell and she survived, she would indeed seek vengeance against the Time Administration Bureau upon learning the truth.
"But I wouldn't kill the sister I raised or treat my subjects as disposable pawns." Ye Wanlan also stepped forward, coldly saying, "As the elder sister, I would trade my life for my sister's, as a Queen, I would follow the code: the Emperor's death for the realm, it's rightful!"
If she were to die, it would be for her family, her people, Shenzhou.
That is worthwhile.
"Since our major experiences are the same, and in your case, your sister died, then—" Ye Wanlan calmly said, "you will never be me."
"Hahaha, you speak so nobly, do you consider yourself some savior saint?" Lan Wanye laughed in rage, "My sister, whom I raised, is naturally my possession, I have the right to decide her life and death! I've come this far because my life is far more important than others!"
Do not preach kindness without understanding the suffering of others.
She doesn't believe Ye Wanlan would remain so magnanimous after enduring her hardships!
