CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 37: METICULOUS ANALYSIS, THE TRUTH REVEALED

Liu Jun was momentarily stunned.

Multi-handed Butterfly, Wise Angels, Angel Queen... the founding angels of the older generation had long since fallen with that battle.

The grievances and feelings of that year also dissipated with history, the truth buried in the dust of time.

Even Butterfly Race’s third generation, Die Hongjun, who harbored grudges all these years, wanted to know who framed him back then, which had completely become a mental knot.

And now, a netizen says,

he guessed the truth just by watching a simple life segment, with what seemed like irrefutable evidence?

"Could it be just boasting, making things up?"

Liu Jun suddenly became curious.

In this era, literati often belittled each other.

Countless cyber dramas and trash talk emerged.

This person could get so many literary disciple endorsements, he must have some kind of capability!

Thus, Liu Jun’s gossip fire inexplicably began to blaze, decisively clicking open the post.

[Great Dream of Longevity]: "Hello everyone, I am just an ordinary netizen, here to decrypt a dust-covered imperial story from a billion years back in the Jurassic Period."

"First, I’ll say the conclusion, two coups, everyone guessed wrong from the start, they were misled, the target of the mastermind was never to kill the God of Longevity during his aged time and live a second life."

"The target was to kill Die Hongjun!"

[Great Dream of Longevity]:

"Why such reasoning? I carefully observed the events of both coups,

and I was surprised to find an important doubt, the mastermind showed too little aggression towards the God of Longevity and the God of Wisdom.

Take the second attack as an example, why frame Die Hongjun?

If they wanted to kill the gods, framing the assassination of the next Angel descendant on the two gods would be better, wouldn’t it?

There’s also a very obvious phenomenon,

the Wise Angels, enraged to the extreme by the loss of their child, directly took their army to demand an explanation from Die Hongjun, and even respectfully with the two gods.

The mastermind laid out such a long plan just to have the soft-hearted Wise Angels, enraged yet respectful towards the gods, go kill a god?

It’s unreasonable, can the mastermind not know Wise Angels’ character?

I fear their original intention wasn’t to kill the gods.

Even the mastermind feared Wise Angels would take action against the gods whom they revered, causing things to become irreparable, which is why they chose Wise Angels to act as their tool."

What?

What?

This conclusion alone is enough to overturn the perceptions of many netizens.

[Great Dream of Longevity]:

"So, from here I began to suspect that the mastermind’s target from the start was Die Hongjun, there might be private enmities within the Butterfly Race."

"Using the perspective at the time, the mastermind didn’t even know that the 30,000 Angel army couldn’t beat the two gods, they thought their army, victorious and unchallenged against the Earth Dragon Race, could surely win against the gods, or even kill them,

but they were afraid of actually killing a god, so they selected Wise Angels’ character and executed this plan to only force Die Hongjun’s surrender."

"This is a conscientious mastermind, benevolent, and respectful of the gods; they feared entangling the gods."

"This is precisely why none of the detectives could find the culprit, because the direction of their investigations was wrong from the beginning."

Everyone found the logic sound.

The 30,000 troops besieging the city, from any living being’s perspective, promised to kill the twin gods!

Even the Angel King was terrified.

Feeling the encirclement of 30,000 troops would cause great trouble, fearing that the God of Longevity and the God of Wisdom might die, he rushed to guard them.

In this way.

The mastermind at the time also surely believed in the siege’s power, confident in killing Die Hongjun!

"Then, the next question is: Wise Angels, Multi-handed Butterfly, or the Queen, who has a vendetta against Die Hongjun? Where is the hatred?"

"I followed this possible line and analyzed the life trajectories of these founding heroes, finding their life paths quite simple."

"All three were with the Angel King since their larval stage, with never the opportunity to contact those high and mighty beings on the Cangwu Tree."

"And once they created the Angels, they immediately left the Butterfly Race’s ancestral land for the Angel Plain."

"There was no interaction, did I guess wrong? I doubted my reasoning but continued the search, starting to dig into Die Hongjun for various information."

"You must know, as the Angel King, his breadth of information was vast, handling state affairs daily, with various information consolidating to him,

but his information was also meager, since he didn’t investigate the past truth, only gathering routine court information."

"Later, I found a piece of information, during a past Butterfly Race birthday feast, Die Hongjun offered a gift to the gods, slaying a rebellious worm, and discovered the most crucial breakthrough point."

Liu Jun also remembered that banquet at that moment.

Die Hongjun, slaying a powerful traitorous worm as a birthday offering for himself.

At that time, the worm couldn’t fly using telekinesis, Liu Jun was amazed by this worm that could fly using telekinesis.

He even thought it was akin to the Sky Splitter species, the Split Hair Worm.

[Great Dream of Longevity]:

"I followed this lead to investigate the rebelling insect killed by Die Hongjun, to see if they’re a relative of the founding Four Kings, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find any connection."

"After all, if you think about it, it’s impossible to know without dedicated investigation. How could such blood relations be discovered otherwise?"

"Fortunately, with modern technology, I suddenly had a flash of insight and came up with the idea of comparing butterfly patterns."

"I used the Intelligent Brain for big data integration, comparing all butterflies’ blood relations and found similar patterns, creating a set of blood relationship verification methods."

"I compared the data of the insect rebel’s corpse, which was hung in Butterfly Valley, and indeed found something."

"Based on the timeline and pattern comparison, the insect killed at the birthday banquet back then was probably Queen Insect Seventy-seven’s father!"

Wonderful.

Truly wonderful.

Upon this analysis, many found it quite brilliant.

And it’s very logical, with ’ironclad evidence’ provided by modern technology.

People aren’t fools.

Soon, a storyline was pieced together, unveiling the mysterious truths of history.

Insect Seventy-seven, whose family was exterminated, fled to Butterfly Valley, eager to become a powerful being.

From the beginning, she was bent on revenge.

Then she met a few companions and achieved success.

After conquering the world and stabilizing her reign, she tried to probe the Angel King’s intentions in the court.

But she was harshly rejected.

So, she planned what followed.

She even killed the child of the Wise Angels and framed Die Hongjun.

"Impressive work by the big boss, brilliant reasoning, bold hypotheses, and carefully proven."

"Hahaha, cyber ironclad evidence, butterfly pattern comparison, kinship identification, tremendous achievements!"

"What a crazy woman."

"I understand now; insects are all compromising. If I say I want to kill the twin gods, you might not be willing. If I back down and suggest taking action against Die Hongjun instead, you might agree!"

"Hatred consumed her rationality."

"Ah, she wouldn’t even spare the child of her close friend."

Of course, netizens also defended her.

"Isn’t avenging a father’s murder justified? This little larva’s goal from the start of cocooning was revenge!"

"Her family was destroyed and obliterated; that’s her sole motivation for living!"

"Revenge’s beauty is also beauty!"

"Moreover, she might not have truly killed the Wise Angel’s child. Maybe they secretly swapped them with another batch? With the meticulous planning of the other side, sneaking a cat to replace a prince should be expected."

...

Liu Jun observed with a slight frown.

Indeed.

If she were an irrational lunatic, intent on risking everything for longevity, wanting to kill gods, then she might indeed kill a close friend’s child.

But she isn’t.

Judging by her previous behavior, she was meticulous and rational, even deliberately avoiding gods for fear of the Angel Legion killing the twin gods, treating gods as fragile porcelain.

It shows that her shrewdness wouldn’t offend even gods, let alone a close friend’s child.

They probably faked the deaths of that batch of children.

Moreover, the death was too gruesome back then.

If it was truly a covert swap, it’s quite likely.

So, where did that batch of young angel descendants go?

Today, the Angel Race faces a generational gap because the talented next generation ’perished all at once.’

But now, there’s a high probability they didn’t die?

Liu Jun smiled,

"This is really good information."

"With nothing to do, browsing the internet, I even got an unexpected surprise."

"When I sorted that huge pile of mushrooms, dividing them casually, they might have genuinely slipped through."

Liu Jun planned to investigate after reading the comments.

The Angel Race’s generational gap, was it all an act?

Perhaps something is hidden behind it.

This generation of netizens is impressive.

They could even uncover such a surprise for themselves, meticulously analyzing the true mastermind butterfly step by step.
