"Do you think it's possible that the man is nurturing Huang, and we're just grinding stones left behind to aid Huang's growth?"
"Could it be that the predecessor left us here just to nurture Huang?"
Third Brother's words made Old Nine's pupils contract sharply. This guess isn't entirely impossible.
Because Huang needs to grow, he needs grinding stones to help him grow. When Old Nine went to the past, the result was that he altered some causality, making Huang even stronger.
"If that's the case... then there's nothing we can do."
Old Nine sighed quietly.
Sometimes, even if you see the truth, and guess the truth, you can't change anything.
It's as if you've figured out that you're just fighting ants in a cage, and all your struggles are just to raise the strongest fighting ant. But what can you change about it?
Can you escape this cage?
Can you resist?
You can't....
