"My brother... he went to the Demon World and never came back."

Mentioning Yang Qiangzheng, Yang Qiangjing couldn't hide her sadness.

The brother she looked after since childhood eventually left her, and has not returned all these years...

"I know he went to the Demon World. Didn't you follow him there? It was in the third year after he went to the Demon World... What happened then?"

After that, Yang Genshuo could completely no longer see Yang Qiangzheng.

In the first two years of Yang Qiangzheng's time in the Demon World, Yang Genshuo was still aware of some of his actions.

It was mostly about challenging expert demons.

There were victories and defeats, but with the Immortal Talent[Split Rebirth]gifted by Yang Genshuo, even if he was defeated, he wouldn't die.

There was a stir among the Golden Core Stage demons.

A Golden Core early-stage human dared to fight with the Golden Core late-stage demons!

And he won more than he lost!

What's more infuriating... There were always demons who thought they had defeated Yang Qiangzheng, beat him to death, but a few months later, he appeared unharmed again.

During those years, the battles between Yang Qiangzheng and the demons were life and death.

And as he fought, he became stronger!

Every time he won, he could absorb a Golden Core Stage demon... He was originally very weak in magic, with only two Flood Dragon Heads to make up for it.

But demons were different, they were naturally skilled in magic.

Anyone without a few family-acquired magic skills would be embarrassed to greet another demon.

In comparison, the bodies of demons weren't as resilient as those of the Demon Clan.

Most of the lineage talents Yang Qiangzheng absorbed were from demon bloodlines, and he gradually mastered a large amount of demon bloodline magic... covering up his weakness of only being able to fight physically.

In three years, Yang Qiangzheng became invincible in the Golden Core late stage.

He began to challenge Golden Core Perfection demons...

But it was at this time that Yang Genshuo lost contact with him.

Only knowing that after winning once, he suddenly cried.

At this time, Yang Qiangjing still had some doubts.

"Me? Ever since my brother went to the Demon World, I never saw him again... At that time, the conflict between the Demon World and the Sky Garden Dynasty grew increasingly intense, we couldn't go over at all, until more than ten years later, when the city was built, the Great Array was sealed, and the border gradually stabilized, I asked Sister Weiwei to use her demon slave to search for my brother in the Demon World several times, but found nothing..."

Yang Genshuo: "???

"Wait, are you sure?"

"Hm?"

Yang Genshuo knew that in those three years... Yang Qiangzheng was actually not alone.

In the [records] it was clearly written that Yang Qiangjing's red-clad doppelganger was with Yang Qiangzheng.

[Year 152, the Sky Garden Dynasty's demons were obliterated by a nuclear bomb, then the Feng Family wiped out the demon remnants, leaving Yang Qiangzheng without an opponent, not knowing what to do, he dazed for three days... then transformed into a demon and ventured into the Demon World.]

[Yang Qiangzheng went deep into the Demon World, fighting with various demons, absorbing a large amount of demon corpses...]

[Three days later, Yang Qiangjing's red-clad doppelganger traversed the Demon World portal and found Yang Qiangzheng in the Demon World, assisting him in surviving there.]

[Year 153, Yang Qiangzheng's power grew increasingly deep... but he spoke less and less, and the red-clad Yang Qiangjing was unable to bring him back as hoped. In the same year, the demons counterattacked the Sky Garden Dynasty, and the border war became a forbidden zone.]

[Year 154, after another breakthrough, Yang Qiangzheng burst into tears, shouting to the sky: "Why... why is it my mother? Why...."]

[The belief disappeared, and you lost sight of Yang Qiangzheng...]

At this time, Yang Qiangjing had a look of not having seen Yang Qiangzheng... making Yang Genshuo ponder deeply.

"Xiao Jing, do you remember having a doppelganger?"

"My doppelganger?"

Yang Qiangjing thought deeply, and after a long while, she said: "Ancestor, did I ever have a doppelganger?"

"Hiss~~~"

Yang Qiangjing actually forgot that she once had a red-clad doppelganger!

"You always used your red-clad doppelganger to help control the array, relay commands, and help Yang Qiangzheng absorb evil thoughts... You forgot all of that?"

"Weren't all those things done by me?"

Yang Qiangjing didn't seem to be pretending, she genuinely forgot.

"Wait a moment... Let me check."

Yang Genshuo checked the [records] of Yang Qiangjing over the years again, searching for messages about her doppelganger.

After a long while, Yang Genshuo found nothing.

"Ever since sending the red-clad doppelganger to the Demon World to find Yang Qiangzheng... it completely disappeared, and Yang Qiangjing seems to have forgotten about this event too."

Yang Qiangjing seemed to sense something, she furrowed her brow and said:

"It seems my feeling was right... Ancestor, I seem to have lost some memories. Every time I look back on the past, I always feel something is missing, but nothing seems wrong. Now that you mention it... I'm certain I lost memories, or they were altered."

"Indeed, you forgot about your red-clad doppelganger, but... who would alter your memories?"

The [records] don't mention this either.

When Yang Genshuo looks back on the past, this issue often arises, only seeing the broad strokes, not the details.

"Was my doppelganger important? Did it have its own consciousness?"

"Uh... it's not a question of importance. It's something... very special... I always thought you controlled it yourself, similar to [I Split Pill], I didn't expect your doppelganger actually ran off on its own." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

When Yang Genshuo reflects on it now, he seems to have never noticed whether Yang Qiangjing's doppelganger had its own consciousness or was under her control.

Because their conversation always seemed like she was talking to herself in a scene of split personality.

The main purpose of her doppelganger was to help Yang Qiangzheng absorb evil thoughts and prevent him from going mad...

"Wait! Evil thoughts... indeed, Yang Qiangjing once mentioned her doppelganger was formed from her evil thoughts, so the red-clad Yang Qiangjing represents..."

Yang Genshuo suddenly realized something highly unusual!

Something abnormal he always overlooked!

The Yang Qiangjing before him was too perfect.

She was never lazy, never angry, never gluttonous, and had no love or desires... she seemed like the most reliable person in the Yang Family, executing various policies effortlessly, no matter how many defects some Family members had, she made the best use of them.

Even... Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan often tried to annoy her, but she did what was needed, always choosing the action with the greatest benefit for her tasks.

As for demon slaves, she never found it inappropriate, only considering what the Yang Family needed, and producing it. She practiced neither demon techniques nor righteous paths, only taking the stance most advantageous to the Yang Family from an utterly objective angle.

In this past century, her greatest anger might have been... that Yang Fu wasn't on her side, choosing the most beneficial way together.

This Yang Qiangjing... had no evil thoughts.

She was purely a tool of the Family Head.

And the other red-clad Yang Qiangjing...

"Could it be?"

Yang Genshuo was startled by his own conjecture, finding it quite terrifying.
