In a certain sense, Gao Ming's wish was indeed fulfilled.
The middle-aged couple before him were neither real Xinhu citizens, nor were they residents of Hanhai. Even if Uncle Wang Jie compared them to the city's population database, he would find no clues related to the couple.
Across Hanhai, only Gao Ming truly knew them, because they were Gao Ming's father and mother.
At least, they had the same appearance.
The Deceitful Wish first appeared in the old city, with its core wish being——I wish my father and mother could stay with me forever.
Gao Ming died countless times, made the same wish countless times, and the accumulated Tenacity transformed into an Abnormal Event. There was an inseparable connection between the Deceitful Wish and Gao Ming; their fates were tightly intertwined. This was why, after Gao Ming successfully escaped Hanhai, the Deceitful Wish assumed Gao Ming's karma, leading to a surge in power.
