It was not until today that Cang Yuan realized that all of this was just a carefully designed scheme by Li Wanji.

The so-called indulging in pleasure is nothing more than a cover to hide her true intentions.

She had only one goal, which was to use him to give birth to a child with excellent qualifications!

What she needs is never some handsome man, companionship in the secular world, or romance, but the bloodline that can give her excellent offspring.

After the battle in the ruins of the ancient city of gods, she chose to save her life, and then found an excuse to bring herself back to Wanji Mountain and force herself to unite with her.

All of this was just part of her careful planning, and every step was calculated to perfection.

It was not until this moment that Cang Yuan realized how ambitious this woman Li Wanji was. She wanted to control the world through blood ties!

When she was in the lower world, she had already completed her control over the Great Wilderness, using blood connections to weave a huge network of relationships, firmly holding the power of all races in her hands;

Now, she is just following the same method, turning her target to a wider world, intending to build a network of power spanning all realms through her husband, children and related blood ties.

Cang Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He felt angry and shrouded in an inexplicable sadness.

It turned out that in this huge layout, I was just a chess piece, a carefully selected seed.

"Wanji, is this really the case?" Cangyuan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could penetrate every inch of Li Wanji's mind.

Li Wanji's expression changed slightly, but she immediately regained her composure. She curled her lips and smiled: "Cang Yuan, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm blackmailing you?"

She took a few steps forward and approached Cang Yuan: "Or are you unable to accept your role as a father and unwilling to take on the responsibilities that you should have?"

"Li Wanji!" Cang Yuan roared softly, with a bit of helplessness and heartache, "You won't even tell me a word of truth? What am I to you? A tool? Or a dispensable existence?"

Li Wanji's eyes flickered: "Why are you angry at me? Don't you always say that you are alone? Is it wrong for me to let the children recognize you?"

"Recognize each other? Haha, recognize each other..." There was a hint of desolation in Cangyuan's laughter.

"Yes, father and son recognize each other, what an ironic word. You gave me kinship, but deprived me of the right to know the truth. How do you let me deal with myself? How can I face these innocent children?"

Li Wanji frowned slightly: "Cang Yuan, I really don't know why you are being so hypocritical. Do you think I am willing to let you and your son recognize each other so late?"

"If the time had not come, how could I have endured it until now? Do you know how much effort I have put in and how much pressure I have endured for this day?"

"But if you hadn't done that to me in the first place, why would you have to endure all this pressure and create so many twists and turns?" There was a hint of coldness in Cang Yuan's question.

"Wan Ji, you have a thorough plan and I admire your wisdom and determination. But have you ever thought about how I feel as part of your plan? How do the children feel?"

Li Wanji's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly realized that Cang Yuan seemed to have seen through some of her intentions.

"Oh, Cang Yuan, as long as they are my children, Li Wanji, they know their mission and responsibilities from birth. They will not indulge in these meaningless entanglements like you."

"Everything I do is for their future, so that they can stand at the top of this world and look down on all living beings."

Cang Yuan's eyes turned red, and his emotions were complicated and difficult to discern: "Wan Ji, you really are pretending to be confused when you know the truth. So... it's not an accidental pregnancy at all, right?"

Cang Yuan's words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the already fragile disguise between the two of them. An indescribable tension and heaviness filled the air.

Li Wanji smiled bitterly: "Cangyuan, why do you have to investigate everything so thoroughly? You and I are both practitioners, pursuing power and longevity. As for the others, they are just seasonings in the process."

"I also want to live in confusion, meet the children happily, and then follow the route you planned for us to enjoy this belated family happiness."

"But Wan Ji, I can't do it. I am just too clear-headed to ignore your calculations behind the scenes, and I can't pretend that all this is fate..."

Cang Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke. His hands were clenched into fists with veins bulging, showing his inner struggle and unwillingness.

"These days, I've noticed that your attitude towards me has obviously changed. I was immersed in it like a fool, thinking that time would dilute all the past grudges."

"You allocated clan land to me, planned with me the use of each piece of land, and even encouraged me to develop the power of the Qiongqi lineage. I thought this was a sign of reconciliation and a sign that you truly accepted me."

"But why are you so cruel to me? Behind every smile and every kindness of yours, there are deep calculations and plots."

"This father-son reunion is probably a move you have been planning for a long time, right?"

Cang Yuan's voice trembled, carrying with it an indignation and grief that could not be concealed.

Li Wanji's expression became complicated and she sighed softly, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

Under the moonlight, her figure seemed particularly lonely, completely different from the decisive and resourceful woman she usually was.

"Cang Yuan, let me ask you, are you attracted to me?"

Li Wanji's sudden question stunned Cang Yuan. He didn't expect that she would ask such a question at this tense moment.

"I……"

Cang Yuan was stunned and confused. He had never seriously examined his feelings for Li Wanji.

Is it hatred? Is it resentment? Or is it an indescribable emotion that has quietly grown in those countless confrontations and cooperations?

"I have no idea……"

His voice became hoarse and he tried hard to sort out his thoughts, but found that his heart was in a mess.

Li Wanji pressed on: "If it were you in the past, you would not be so entangled in this. You have been in the same position with me, you should understand that what I have done and what I have experienced are not easily defined by the secular world."

"Cang Yuan, have you forgotten? We are the same kind of people! It's just that now that you have developed feelings for me, you are so concerned about my layout and calculations."

"If it were someone else, you might have seen through it long ago without saying anything, or even used this calculation to achieve your own goals. But between you and me, there is an extra layer of emotional entanglement that makes it difficult for you to let go."

Cang Yuan was deeply moved by Li Wanji's words, and he found that he could not refute it. Indeed, both of them were extraordinary people, and their behavior often transcended the secular moral framework.
