In the abandoned city shrouded in darkness, Black Crow turned and walked down the tower.

His figure shuttled between the dilapidated buildings like a ghost, and every step carried a heavy sense of oppression.

His black robe fluttered slightly in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding darkness.

Black Crow walked up to one of his subordinates and stood in front of him.

The subordinate stood there quietly, exuding a murderous aura.

Black Crow stared at him intently, his eyes revealing a cold determination.

"Now I have a mission for you. Just like Gray Crow, go to Jiang Che's territory and die." Black Crow's voice was low and cold, like a call from hell.

There was no emotion in his words, only pure command.

"But before you die, do the same as before and clear as many levels as you can, then get a feel for the levels," Black Crow continued, a calculating gleam in his eyes.

"When I ascend the throne, I will resurrect you all." His promise was like a ray of hope in the darkness.

The subordinates in front of him all wore crow hoods, and the black hoods seemed to be a symbol of death.

The feathers on the hood trembled slightly, as if telling of endless horror.

The subordinates' eyes were fanatical, like burning flames.

There was only loyalty to Black Crow and a desire for the mission in his eyes. "Yes, sir!"

The subordinates' voices were firm and powerful, as if they were swearing their determination.

Black Crow looked at his other subordinates and said, "Whether it's him or you, just do as I say. In the end, we will be the masters of the world."

His voice echoed in the air, full of majesty and dominance.

"There are few chess players but many chess pieces. The sacrifices now are only for the final victory." A cruel reality was revealed in Black Crow's words.

In this world full of conspiracies and challenges, only the strong can survive, while the weak can only become pawns and sacrificed for the ambitions of the strong.

He didn't know the names of his subordinates. To him, these subordinates had only one name: Gray Crow.

They were his tools, the means by which he achieved his ambitions.

Black Crow doesn't need to know their names, he just needs them to obey his orders and work towards his goals.

The subordinate left after receiving the order.

The remaining subordinates still stayed in the forest, and the figure of the subordinate who left was getting farther and farther away in the darkness.

Black Crow looked at the direction he left, his heart full of anticipation and calculation.

Black Crow replied to the dark mother plant voice in his head: "Where are you."

There was a hint of urgency and anxiety in his voice.

He needed to find the Dark Mother Plant and learn more plans and information.

However, the Dark Mother Plant did not reply. It just looked at Jiang Che in front of it and said, "Everything has been arranged. We just need to wait for the Black Crow to die in the end."

After receiving no response to his inquiry about the dark mother plant, Black Crow felt a surge of anger and helplessness in his heart.

He stood in the corner of an abandoned city, surrounded by dilapidated buildings and tangled dark vines.

Black Crow's black robe fluttered slightly in the wind, his eyes were like burning flames, revealing a deep sense of frustration.

He didn't know what the Dark Mother Plant was thinking. If he didn't have a way to judge lies, he would really suspect that the Dark Mother Plant was lying to him.

Black Crow's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, and he began to re-examine his cooperation with the Dark Mother Plant.

He recalled every communication and every promise he had made with the Dark Mother Plant, trying to find some clues from them, but found himself as if trapped in a huge mystery.

Now that it has come to this, all he can do is trust.

Black Crow clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger. Sometimes he felt that he was being played around by the Dark Mother Plant, but he couldn't get rid of this situation.

He didn't know what the Dark Mother's true purpose was, nor did he know if he could trust it.

This uncertainty made him feel extremely anxious and helpless.

However, he found ways to verify what the Dark Mother Plant said, and it was all true.

No matter what the dark mother plant's plan is, he just needs to achieve his goal.

After confirming his thoughts, Black Crow breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't need to care about others, he just needs to complete his own plans.

At the same time, in another place, Jiang Che stood quietly in a dark space, his eyes fixed on the dark mother plant in front of him, his brows furrowed.

The air seemed to freeze, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.

Surrounding us was a dark and eerie forest, with shadows of trees swaying like ghosts.

Jiang Che's eyes revealed vigilance and suspicion. He stared at the dark mother plant closely, trying to see through its thoughts.

"Your final goal is to devour me, right?" His voice was firm.

Jiang Che's words shot towards the dark mother plant like a sharp arrow, breaking the silence around them.

He already had the answer in his mind, he just wanted to get confirmation from the Dark Mother Plant.

The dark mother plant was hit by what he said and immediately denied it with a sharp voice.

"No, no! I, we all have our own ideas!" The voice of the dark mother plant was full of panic and anxiety, and its branches trembled slightly, as if hiding its true intentions.

Hearing its denial, Jiang Che immediately realized that the other party really wanted to swallow him.

But he now has no choice but to cooperate.

He knew that what he was doing was very dangerous, but he had no other way to go.

"I understand." Even if the dark forest wanted to swallow him in the end, or had other plans, he had to eliminate all the enemies in front of him.

Jiang Che used to think that an enemy is an enemy.

But now, I have learned to cooperate with the enemy.

As soon as the decision was made, he told Ding Ning the new news.

After waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Ding Ning. He frowned and sent a few words again.

Finally, Ding Ning responded, "I'm fine."

Jiang Che breathed a sigh of relief, and the worries in his heart were slightly relieved.

"Since we have already cooperated, we must squeeze out all its value!" Ding Ning continued to instruct.

There was a sense of decisiveness and shrewdness in her voice.

Ding Ning knew very well that cooperation with the Dark Mother Plant was a dangerous game, and they must make full use of this opportunity to obtain the greatest benefits.

Her mind was full of calculations and strategies. She wanted to make sure that in this cooperation, they would not become victims of the dark mother plant.

"Cooperation is not a bad thing, but the Dark Mother Plant may not be able to achieve its goal in the end." She said in a soft voice.

No one has ever been on the throne.

Whether it is the Dark Mother Plant or them, the path they are taking now is a path that no one has ever taken before, and no one knows whether what they are taking is right or wrong.

Since the news they received was both true and false, is the news that the Dark Mother Plant received necessarily true? (End of this chapter)
