Once, I wanted to be a good person

Seeing the Flower God's look of disbelief, Fang Ze said calmly, "Think carefully about the whole event, don't you feel there are some strange aspects?"

"Actually, I have already left a lot of obvious clues, with so many Venerables at the scene, and so many forces that don't want the Bloody Colosseum to obtain the [God-Sealing Talisman], someone is bound to point them out."

"And by then, if the Blue Blood and Spotted Whale can't explain those strange aspects, the whole affair will quickly take a turn."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, the Flower God was completely in a daze. She stared blankly for a while, then scratched her head irritably and said, "Ahh! I can't figure it out!"

Saying this, she suddenly leaned against Fang Ze's back, hugging his neck, and shook him, "Fang Ze, Fang Ze, just tell me!"

Seeing the Flower God's roguish demeanor, Fang Ze couldn't help but look amused.

He quickly patted her arm while comforting her, "Alright, alright. I'll give you some hints."

He gestured towards the Demigd Prison, hinting, "Why, even when I was planning to escape, did I specifically go to fetch the Divine Fire Box from the Spotted Whale Venerable?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, the Flower God blinked her large, watery eyes in utter confusion.

Then Fang Ze continued, "Moreover, why did I take only seven of the Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends instead of all of them when I was escaping?"

The Flower God stood there in a daze, her face becoming even more bewildered.

Fang Ze smiled and shook his head, then asked again, "Then tell me, when we were escaping, why wasn't space sealed, yet I went to the trouble of using the Demigd Prison to contain us rather than just using Space System abilities to Transfer?"

The three questions made the Flower God feel her head was buzzing.

She thought, thought, thought for a moment, and then exclaimed in exasperation, "It's over, it's over! If I keep thinking like this, I'll grow a brain!"

...

At this moment, just as Fang Ze was hinting to the Flower God about the backup plans he had left deliberately, the auction scene indeed took a new turn.

"Wait a minute."

Just as the Blue Blood Venerable had fully dominated the narrative at the scene, an elegant voice interrupted the contemplation of all the Venerables present.

The Venerables raised their heads in response to the direction the voice came from and saw the Deep Red Venerable slowly stand up and then walk onto the high platform.

Arriving at the platform, the Deep Red Venerable gave the Blue Blood Venerable a deep look and then spoke to the Venerables below, "Ladies and gentlemen, please let me say a few words."

The Deep Red Venerable's status among the Venerables was indeed high, so upon hearing his words, many Venerables turned their heads to listen, waiting quietly for him to speak.

The Deep Red Venerable glanced around the scene, seeing that most of the Venerables were looking at him, then discreetly nodded slightly and said slowly, "The Blue Blood Venerable's words indeed have some truths, but what I want to tell everyone is that he is complicating a simple matter."

"In fact, today's matter is simple: we came here to auction the [God-Sealing Talisman]. And in front of so many Venerables, the seller was attacked, their lifespan exploded, turning into a Divine Fiend. Seven out of the ten Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends the buyer used for payment disappeared mysteriously."

"Isn't this the fact of the whole matter?"

Seeing many Venerables below nod, the Deep Red Venerable continued, "And just now, the Blue Blood Venerable suspected that this was all a setup, thinking that someone might have disguised as Dahei Garo, intentionally stole the Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends, and framed them."

"I won't comment on the possibility of this. I'll just ask one question: if such a person indeed exists, and they disguised themselves as Dahei Garo, then stole the Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends amid the smoke and fled."

"Then where is the... space fluctuation?"

"If someone uses a transfer to escape, there would definitely be space fluctuations, right? And those Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends disappearing out of thin air would also need space fluctuations, right?"

"Where are these fluctuations?"

Hearing the Deep Red Venerable's words, many of the Venerables present fell into deep thought.

Indeed, even if someone did disguise themselves as Dahei Garo and wasn't detected by so many Venerables, they couldn't have taken so many Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends and escaped without leaving any fluctuations.

This truly doesn't make sense.

At this time, hearing the Deep Red Venerable's words, the Blue Blood Venerable also realized that the Deep Red Venerable was there to undermine him, and he looked at the Deep Red Venerable with a somber expression, saying, "Then how do you explain the disappearance of those Divine Fiends?"

The Deep Red Venerable retorted unceremoniously, "It's simple. You had prearranged twelve Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends, but only the five near us were real, and the other seven were fake from the start."

"After all, with your Divine Skill [Absolute Zero], we couldn't use Divine Thought to verify the authenticity of each Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiend from such a distance."

"Then when a certain condition or time limit was met, those seven fake Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends vanished into thin air."

"This created the illusion of seven Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends disappearing out of nowhere."

Hearing the Deep Red Venerable's words, the Blue Blood Venerable was so angry that his face turned purple. He said, "Why would we go through all this trouble?!"

The Deep Red Venerable looked at him and retorted unceremoniously, "Then I can also ask you, why would Garo do such things?"
