Facing Fu Qi's inquiry, Lou Wei's response remained calm.

"Even if we don't tell her, she'll find out for herself."

"We should at least make a gesture."

Fu Qi naturally knew that Ye Tong was incredibly capable; finding out this information wouldn't be difficult for her.

However, her finding out on her own and being told proactively were two different things.

After all, Ye Tong still called him "Uncle." If he didn't clear this matter up in time, wouldn't it seem like he was treating her like an outsider?

If he was a bit late, he probably wouldn't be able to avoid being hissed at.

"Then you go tell her."

Fu Qi's eyes widened: "Wait, why not you?"

"She doesn't want to see me."

When Lou Wei said this, Fu Qi was momentarily speechless.

It seemed... that was indeed the case.

Ye Tong was still giving Lou Wei the cold shoulder, and even Ye Yao wasn't very close to this "father" anymore.

His status in the family was bottom-tier.

Lou Wei had only adjusted his mindset; he hadn't solved all the problems yet.

Three months had passed without any sign of improvement.

Thinking of this, Fu Qi instantly lost all his energy and tactics.

This bastard Lou Wei had definitely set him up!

He had turned into a pure workaholic just to avoid facing Ye Tong or Ye Yao.

Joining Sequence Zero was probably just a front.

What?

Did he, Fu Qi, an uncle, have to work part-time as a father too?

Don't go too far!

Fu Qi's fists clenched immediately, wishing he could punch Lou Wei in the face.

"Aren't you doing this on purpose?"

"No, I'm not good at this. If you have any ideas, say them, and I'll try to adopt them."

Lou Wei had completely accepted his shortcomings.

He didn't want to use his wisdom to handle things he wasn't good at.

Lest he make another mistake.

He couldn't afford a second major blunder.

Fu Qi fell into deep thought.

To avoid double the pressure, he had to find a way to repair the father-daughter relationship between Lou Wei, Ye Yao, and Ye Tong.

This starting point was good, after all.

Since they had already hit rock bottom, things couldn't get any worse.

Looking on the bright side, at least they were just distant, not enemies.

If they became enemies, that would be true despair.

Fu Qi sighed softly, forced to take on this responsibility.

"Fine, if I see her, I'll pass on the word."

Lou Wei nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

"Has Ye Yao's Spiritual Power shown any signs of rising lately?"

He remembered the last time he saw Ye Yao was three months ago.

At that time, the Spiritual Power Ye Yao displayed was exactly four hundred.

The sudden jump from three hundred to four hundred was undoubtedly Ye Tong's doing.

Ye Yao showed no signs of training her Spiritual Power; only Ye Tong could interfere with her growth.

During the battle in space back then, Lou Wei had seen through Ye Tong's background with his absolute numerical values.

Beneath that teenage girl's appearance was undoubtedly a petite girl, identical to Ye Yao.

If Lou Wei hadn't been eroded by Heaven's Will then, seeing Ye Yao's face would have «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» snapped him out of it instantly.

Unfortunately, the influence of the Corona Form wasn't something that could be reversed by personal will alone.

It wasn't just Ye Tong's disguise; Lou Wei also saw through Ye Tong's specific values.

One hundred and sixty thousand Spiritual Power, no more, no less—it seemed to be a perfect integer.

Converting it based on a formula related to "four hundred," that's four hundred squared, which is exactly one hundred and sixty thousand.

This might be the truth behind the World-Ending Ability.

If that were true, all previous speculations would have to be overturned.

Lou Wei recalled his first meeting with Ye Tong on the rooftop of the apartment building.

She was very weak then.

Lou Wei originally thought it was just a period of weakness when Ye Tong was first born, and she later grew to her current level at an incredible speed.

But after deducing the truth of the World-Ending Ability, everything made sense.

At that time, Ye Yao's Spiritual Power was only 10, exactly the value for awakening a Superpower.

If Ye Tong's power was strongly correlated with Ye Yao's...

Then the maximum strength Ye Tong could burst out at the time was only ten squared, which is one hundred Spiritual Power.

With barely C-class Spiritual Power, she really could only serve as cannon fodder.

Later, the strength Ye Tong displayed became stronger and stronger, a world of difference from Ye Yao's normal Spiritual Power.

Everyone thought Ye Yao was a useless little snack compared to Ye Tong.

But who would have thought that Ye Tong relied on the same Spiritual Power as Ye Yao to crush everyone?

Ye Yao with one hundred Spiritual Power gave Ye Tong ten thousand in explosive power.

Two hundred was forty thousand, three hundred was ninety thousand, and four hundred was one hundred and sixty thousand.

Ignoring human limits, just constant numerical breakthroughs.

She was simply... not human.

After deducing the truth of the World-Ending Ability, Lou Wei couldn't help but feel immense pressure.

In gaming terms, this would be called cheating, right?

The World-Ending Ability truly lived up to its name; this simple and crude effect was indeed worthy of the term "World-Ending."

Of course, there was still one suspicious point.

During the period when Ye Tong was active early on, she appeared in the Flame Demon Incident, and her displayed strength was estimated to be at the A-class level.

If the effect of the World-Ending Ability was truly the square of her normal Spiritual Power, she shouldn't have had that level of performance then.

Furthermore, the "Nursery Rhyme" that appeared recently should logically only have a burst of ninety thousand Spiritual Power, but that wasn't the case at all.

This meant the World-Ending Ability had more than just this one effect.

And that ability to double the quantity of things... it was probably also related to "squaring."

Lou Wei had deduced the truth of the World-Ending Ability, but he couldn't feel happy about it.

Because the more he knew, the more he realized how invincible the future Ye Tong would be.

Even activating the Corona Form, he faced endless despair.

The Corona Form he risked his life to activate was merely a burst from Ye Tong's normal state of one thousand two hundred Spiritual Power.

A normal Spiritual Power at a weak A-class level bursting into weak Star-level strength.

"Phew..."

Lou Wei admitted he was sweating a bit.

Tu Sheng's significance was still rising.

This really is a World-Ending Ability!

"Why are you asking this? I've been observing for a while, and Ye Yao's Spiritual Power hasn't moved at all.

It hasn't moved since it mysteriously hit four hundred three months ago, but it could rise again at any time."

Fu Qi didn't know Lou Wei's deduction yet and simply answered his question.

The usually steady man exhaled another breath of turbid air.

"What is the next stage after four hundred Spiritual Power?"

"What nonsense are you talking? Five hundred Spiritual Power, which is just entering B-class level."

"Then after Spiritual Power reaches B-class, what changes will it bring to the Superpower?"

"Are you giving me a lecture here? It's just reinforcement, isn't it?"

Fu Qi had just finished speaking with a frown when he froze.

"Wait, you mean...?"

Lou Wei closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear to face it.

"Ye Yao's Spiritual Power is about to reach B-class, which means her World-Ending Ability—or rather, Ye Tong—will undergo reinforcement."

"Gasp—!"

Fu Qi almost couldn't catch his breath.
