I just read AWE a long time ago and thinking now, I didn't understand a few things. Can anyone explain to me why the Old Extermination Man became the antagonist in the end? It is surprising that he became the final boss and still died. The old man appeared in all Er Gen novels set in the same universe. Considering he is dead and an enemy of Bai Xiaochun, it is quite surprising. For example, he is Chu Yuyan's master to begin with and has connections with all of Er Gen's Mc's. I am very curious as to how they will react to this.
