Xu Heng laughed heartily, seemingly unaffected by the near-death experience in the ancient relic, his mood still upbeat.

"However, I heard that the changes in the ancient relic have caused the entire Taiyuan Mountain area to change, and some wolves, having grown huge bodies and gained powerful strength, have come down from the mountain, injuring many people."

Xu Heng, who was just expressing optimism, showed a downturned mood on his face when he mentioned this matter.

It seemed that his own life was insignificant compared to those of the ordinary people outside.

"Indeed."

Long Qingtian offered Xu Heng a cigarette and reached out to give Wang Ye one, but Wang Ye waved his hand and refused.

Previously on the mountain, Wang Ye had wanted to try smoking, but all of his senior sisters forbade him from doing so.

Wang Ye listened to his sisters and never smoked.

Now, even though Wang Ye's six senior sisters no longer cared whether he smoked or not, he no longer had the desire to smoke.

Seeing that Wang Ye didn't want to smoke, Long Qingtian didn't say anything but lit one for himself. Amidst the curling smoke, Long Qingtian seemed to see through the haze those people who were injured due to the sudden changes, his brows furiously tightening.

Even the cigarette butt in his mouth was fiercely bitten by Long Qingtian.

"I've already sent people to handle the situation over there, but next, we still need to hear from Wang Ye about the scenes he observed in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Him?"

Xu Heng looked at Wang Ye with puzzlement: "At that time, all of us were knocked unconscious by the Golden Armor, was he alright?"

"Right."

"I don't know why all of you were controlled by the Golden Armor and had your memories observed, yet I was completely unaffected."

Wang Ye noticed that when he said the words "memory observation," Xu Heng's expression became unnatural, as if afraid that some shameful act of his had been seen by the Golden Armor.

Although the Golden Armor wasn't appearing now, or perhaps had died, the thought of his shameful acts being discovered by others still gave Xu Heng the feeling of a social death.

"So what all did you see?" Xu Heng asked hurriedly.

As a soldier facing unknown dangers, one should always remain clear-headed, but Xu Heng failed to see many of the scenes when faced with danger.

This fact was like a knot in Xu Heng's heart.

Now that he knew Wang Ye was aware of what had happened, Xu Heng naturally wanted to quickly find out from Wang Ye to feel more at ease.

Wang Ye recalled the events. Because the scenes had been so shocking, they seemed to automatically appear before him as he remembered, very clear.

"After absorbing your memories, the Golden Armor apologized and sighed, as if it was something he had to do out of necessity."

"Perhaps because their consciousness could only be sustained for a limited time, without delaying too long, they sought this simple and time-saving method."

Wang Ye shared his speculation, making both Xu Heng and Long Qingtian nod in agreement.

Clearly, Xu Heng and Long Qingtian both thought the same.

Moreover, if they were in that time period, Xu Heng and Long Qingtian would have done the same.

Wang Ye continued:

"Upon reviewing the memories, the Golden Armor probably understood which era we were in."

"It also felt that our era was a time of peace and prosperity, with everyone happy and satisfied."

As Wang Ye spoke, proud expressions appeared on the faces of Xu Heng and Long Qingtian.

In this era, the reason for such scenery is that both of them have made indelible contributions.

And in this era, even the people from tens of thousands of years ago have recognized it.

Even, they've become envious.

So, naturally, Long Qingtian and Xu Heng felt very proud.

"Initially, the Golden Armor, after exploring the memories, didn't want to disturb our peace, but..."

Wang Ye's "but" immediately caught the attention of Long Qingtian and Xu Heng.

They knew all too well the trouble that the ancient ruins had brought them.

Although True Qi overflow made it more convenient for them to advance in strength subsequently,

what about ordinary people?

Even the wolves on the mountains and the mere mice would mutate due to the overflow of True Qi.

But the ordinary people wouldn't.

As a result, these ordinary people would become victims of the True Qi overflow.

The Golden Armor had not originally planned to do so.

But the Golden Armor did it anyway.

Why?

Both Xu Heng and Long Qingtian were staring at Wang Ye, wanting to hear the truth from his mouth.

"At that time, the Golden Armor took a glance at the sky as if it saw something, and that's why it let the True Qi overflow," Wang Ye said.

Long Qingtian's expression changed.

Xu Heng followed Wang Ye's gaze and looked up, somewhat bewildered, "Saw what? There's nothing to see, isn't that just the ordinary sky?"

Xu Heng's strength was too weak to see, but Long Qingtian, with his formidable power, could.

Back in front of the ancient ruins, Long Qingtian had also looked in that direction, wondering if the True Qi overflow from the ancient ruins was related to what he had seen.

He had not expected it to be indeed related!

Noticing the change in Long Qingtian's expression, Wang Ye and Xu Heng turned their gaze to Long Qingtian and asked:

"Boss Long, can you see something?"

Even if Long Qingtian didn't answer, his expression alone was enough to tell them everything; Long Qingtian had seen something.

"Yes," Long Qingtian said heavily, even the beings within the ancient ruins had said what he saw was an impending danger.

So his own premonition was correct.

Long Qingtian took a deep look into the sky, where there seemed to be a crimson color undulating, like a boundary layer. Behind that crimson, Long Qingtian saw many vague figures.

Are these vague figures the source of the danger?

"The Golden Armor said that in the past, when they faced danger, they failed to protect their peaceful and thriving world."

"They hope that we can protect our own peaceful and thriving world."
