Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 539: Lies And Truth

Gao Shuwei flicked one of the bullets with his finger, and in the next second, they all dropped to the ground.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

He glanced at the bullets and shook his head. "No. I already transferred my spatial element ability to you in our previous life. Unfortunately, you could only inherit that ability from me."

"Xiao Ran, I actually wished you could have inherited my clairvoyance and time-control abilities as well. If you hadn't run away in our past life, I would have completed my mission back then."

Yao Ran was stunned as realization dawned on her. She looked at him in disbelief and asked, "The abilities that were injected into me… they all belonged to you?"

Gao Shuwei smiled. "Of course. Only my abilities are worthy of you. Those trashy ones weren't fit for you and had no real use."

Knowing firsthand the agony of ability extraction, Yao Ran couldn't understand why Gao Shuwei was willing to sacrifice his ability and go through the pain.

Staring into his cold eyes, she asked, "Why did you give them to me? What do you really want?"

Gao Shuwei chuckled, then pointed at her dantian. "Everything was for the Lingyuan Jade Pendant."

As Yao Ran's expression darkened, he added, "Ah, don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you as long as you hand over the Lingyuan Jade Pendant."

Noticing the doubt and hostility in her eyes, Gao Shuwei decided to explain further.

He tapped a few keys on the control panel, and countless files and data appeared on the large screen mounted on the wall.

Staring at her, Gao Shuwei observed Yao Ran's expression as he explained, "These files contain the results of my research across countless lifetimes."

"Thanks to Grandfather's trust in me during this lifetime, I accidentally discovered that as long as I possess Yao family DNA, I, too, can use the Lingyuan Jade Pendant. Thanks to this discovery, you don't need to die."

Listening to what he said, Yao Ran frowned. "So the reason you kidnapped Grandfather was for my family DNA?"

At her accusation, Gao Shuwei's smile disappeared.

He sighed and replied helplessly, "Xiao Ran, I didn't kidnap Grandfather. I saved him from Lan Guanghui. Our Grandfather is still alive today because I arrived just in time to save him."

Yao Ran sneered and said, "Liar. You took Grandfather for your own selfish motives. You needed his DNA so you could use the Lingyuan Jade Pendant."

Gao Shuwei pondered on her words, then admitted, "You are not wrong. But the fact remains—I saved our Grandfather."

Realizing that arguing with him was pointless, Yao Ran decided to extract more information instead.

With that in mind, she asked calmly, "What do you plan to do with the Lingyuan Jade Pendant? If your reason is convincing enough, I might just consider giving it to you."

Seeing an opportunity to save time and avoid fighting Yao Ran, Gao Shuwei agreed. "I could tell you, but you might not believe me."

Yao Ran shrugged. "If you don't tell me, how do you know I won't believe you?"

Hearing this, Gao Shuwei laughed. He nodded and said, "Well then, since you are so eager to know, let me show you."

The moment his words fell, Gao Shuwei snapped his fingers.

Snap!

The next second, the world around them warped, and Yao Ran felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. The familiar sensation told her that Gao Shuwei had taken her to another timeline.

When she opened her eyes again, Yao Ran was floating in the air. Looking down, she was surprised to see a planetary crack below, spewing red magma covered in roaring flames.

"Where is this?" she asked.

Floating beside her, Gao Shuwei calmly replied, "This is the planetary crack three months from the present time."

Yao Ran frowned slightly when she heard that and asked again, "Why did you bring me here?"

Pointing at the planetary crack below, Gao Shuwei asked in return, "Do you think a planet will be fine with a massive crack like that?"

Hearing his words, Yao Ran felt a sense of unease. However, she trusted Quan Yuanwei's abilities and words. After a moment of silence, she said, "As long as the crack doesn't widen, it should be fine."

Gao Shuwei shook his head. "You are wrong. That planetary crack is a ticking time bomb. I assume you have read the information Grandfather left for the Xu family and know that I have been reborn countless times."

Seeing Yao Ran's calm expression, he smiled and continued, "More precisely, I have been reborn thousands of times."

Yao Ran was skeptical when she heard that.

Sensing her doubts, Gao Shuwei simply looked at the horizon and added, "In every lifetime, the planet explodes fifteen years after the end of the world begins. But in this lifetime, everything has accelerated, and the planet only has a few months left before it's destroyed."

He paused for a long time before adding, "I know you don't believe me, but I'm not your enemy, Xiao Ran. All I want is to repair the planet and die in peace."

Hearing that, Yao Ran sneered but remained silent. Seeing her like this, Gao Shuwei snapped his fingers, and they returned to the future.

Back in the surgery room, Gao Shuwei looked at Yao Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, I will give you two choices."

"The first option is you will give me the Lingyuan Jade Pendant, and I will send you back to the present time. The second option is you refuse my request, and I will take the Lingyuan Jade Pendant from you by force—then kill all your friends, including Long Yu."

After saying that, Gao Shuwei studied Yao Ran's expression for a while before slowly asking, "Xiao Ran, what will you choose?"

Yao Ran clenched her fists and thought, 'I can't kill him with my current strength. If I can bring him back to the present, maybe I will have a chance to kill him with the help of the bombing squad.'
