A look of surprise appeared on Dong Nianyu’s face.
Feeling Dong Nianyu’s emotional change, Xi Yunzi turned to glance back.
Although from the mont they left the farm, they beca the Evil Fallen, in Xi Yunzi’s view, if Xiaoyu cared at all... her heart must have been racing.
Ti seed to stand still.
The three of them remained silent.
In the distance, Wu Jiu lay in quiet ambush, the cat tilted her head and licked her paw. Then she realized that this was sothing a real cat would do; she stopped licking halfway and put her paw down again.
After a while, Dong Nianyu cald down and once again returned to her frosty expression:
"How do you know all this?"
Shen Shuyue said with a smile:
"Dear sister, don’t be so fierce. I told you, I’m not your enemy. Soone in the Land of Bliss imprisoned you to keep you free from the Power of Causality, but now you have co out, and everything about you, in the eyes of the Lord I follow, is no secret."
"The Lord you follow... who is that?"
Xi Yunzi was once again surprised. Was Xiaoyu truly moved by her words?
"I think sister must have heard of her, she is called Jing Liu."
Shen Shuyue’s words were said lightly but exploded like a thunderbolt, causing Xi Yunzi to beco greatly alard in that instant:
"You’re with Jing Liu?"
"I indeed follow this Lord."
"Xiaoyu, don’t listen to her, she’s our enemy!"
Dong Nianyu was also astonished; of course, she knew that Jing Yi’s greatest enemy was Jing Liu.
Seven hundred years ago it was not Jing Liu. Seven hundred years ago, Jing Yi’s greatest enemies were those who abandoned her, those who left the Land of Bliss.
Seven hundred years later, it beca Jing Liu.
"Although I don’t really like our boss that much, I don’t think he will lose. Xiaoyu, don’t be fooled by a few words from soone."
Xi Yunzi was ready to fight, and at that mont his whole being was filled with an ineffable, distant divinity.
Shen Shuyue noticed this and was slightly surprised, but didn’t take it too seriously.
She had already clashed with the most powerful monster in the world, so facing Xi Yunzi, Shen Shuyue was just surprised by the change in his aura.
Two pieces on the chessboard had already t on the battlefield.
Dong Nianyu showed little change in her expression, while Shen Shuyue recovered her smile.
Xi Yunzi, caught in the middle, appeared almost non-existent.
"Tell , how can Jing Liu arrange a eting for ?"
"We can’t talk about it now, but the Lord once altered history. Sister Xiaoyu, you’re not the only one hurt by n. Do you know how I beca the Evil Fallen?"
Shen Shuyue grabbed her lower eyelid, and incredibly, during this conversation, she made a grueso gesture.
As she spoke in a light tone, she began tearing at her own face:
"I was once flayed by a man, literally skinned and dismbered. I consider myself sowhat attractive, having once conducted small business with my companions, wishing only for a peaceful life."
"Later, because of this appearance, I was coveted by so powerful n, beca their plaything, and after being completely ravaged, they feared aging would decay my skin. So, they decided to strip it off to make into a specin."
A bloody face appeared before Xi Yunzi and Dong Nianyu, and this sight once again shocked Xi Yunzi.
A woman so beautiful she tested his faith suddenly beca fierce and hideous, ghastly like a demon.
But quickly, the torn flesh began regenerating at a visible rate.
The woman once again beca the stunning figure from monts ago.
"Later, it was Lord Jing Liu who gave the chance for revenge."
When confronting Zhong Xu, in Bai Wu’s eyes, Shen Shuyue’s arrival was an accident because the summoned through the mask had a connection of Causality with him.
The reason Shen Shuyue was able to show up actually lay in Jing Liu’s deliberate efforts.
Being able to see causality ans being able to change it.
Shen Shuyue said,
"My enemy died before . Revenge is not a joyous thing, but successful revenge at least gives so aning to the unhappiness."
"Although I don’t know what you will do after eting the person you want to see, Sister Nianyu, you should at least have that chance, shouldn’t you?"
Xi Yunzi and Dong Nianyu had not expected that this woman before them had endured such a tragic past.
"I am hardly any happier than you, Sister, and I was born with a sympathy for won who have been deceived by n. Even though I belong to a different camp, dear sister, I am not your enemy. I am saying all this only to make you believe—
you should at least have one chance, a chance to confront those who have hurt you face to face, right?"
Dong Nianyu had heard a bit about Jing Liu.
Jing Liu’s and Jing Yi’s goals were both aid at bringing about the appearance of the High Tower, but their divergence begins only after the High Tower reappears.
If Bai Wu were here, he would probably sense that Jing Liu’s move was aid straight at the heart of the matter.
Because Dong Nianyu controlled an imnse spiritual power, teetering everyone in the World Beyond the Mist on the edge of Evil Fallen Transformation with a Legendary Tier Entry.
She could temporarily suppress people’s negative emotions, and she could also release these negative feelings in an instant.
In a certain sense, Dong Nianyu held the key to when the High Tower would open.
To win over Dong Nianyu was to seize the initiative.
Dong Nianyu was aware of this as well.
Indeed, Shen Shuyue’s words were deceitful; the prettier the woman, the better she lies. She could deceive even Lizhi, so naturally, she could lie to Dong Nianyu without any burden.
...
When Jing Liu laid out this plan, Shen Shuyue also learned a bit of Dong Nianyu’s past.
Shen Shuyue was quite curious about what kind of man could make a woman love and hate him for seven hundred years.
In her lifeti, she had seen many n, but the most interesting was undoubtedly Bai Wu.
Later, when she learned that this man was Bai Wu’s father, Shen Shuyue found herself quite eager to et this man.
It was then that Jing Liu said,
"He indeed died. Destiny should guide, not reveal everything; he knew his own destiny and initially resisted, but quickly through scheming and calculation, he ca to the sa conclusion."
"What conclusion?"
"He would fail."
"So he chose to flee?"
"You could say he fled, or you could say he didn’t. But according to current causality, he did flee. His lover and his closest friends are all dead."
"A man like that, he still had a lover and close friends?"
"Who knows. He couldn’t completely extinguish his feelings and desires, even if everyone else was just a toy to him. In his eyes, there were always toys that were sohow different."
"You say that, and now I’m even more intrigued to et him."
"You are beautiful, but beauty has little significance to him because in terms of personal charm, no one surpasses him."
The most beautiful woman is always interested in the most charismatic man, but it’s just interest, not sexual desire.
Her desire to tornt Bai Yuan, a scoundrel like that, was clearly stronger than any other desires.
Shen Shuyue also took note of Jing Liu’s phrasing— you could say he fled, or you could say he didn’t.
Shen Shuyue was smart, and following Jing Liu was not just because of Entries.
Bai Yuan evaded his destiny yet did not completely escape, sothing that probably manifested in Bai Wu.
How could a man from seven hundred years ago have a son seven hundred years later?
Is Bai Wu part of Bai Yuan that didn’t escape his destiny?
That’s why Jing Liu cared so much about Bai Wu. At least, in Jing Liu’s eyes, helping Bai Wu to so extent was also a way to oppose Jing Yi.
Shen Shuyue rembered that Jing Liu had further said,
"Seven hundred years ago, when I was still chasing causality to find my brother, it was Bai Yuan and his comrades who held back Jing Yi."
"They underestimated Jing Yi, and so did my brother. Before he went completely mad, he wasn’t even a match for Jing Yi, particularly in the Land of Bliss, which is protected by sothing incredibly powerful."
Shen Shuyue sighed and said,
"It sounds like completely ending the distortion is a very difficult task."
At that ti, Jing Liu was with his back to Shen Shuyue, his expression unseen:
"Indeed, it’s difficult, extrely challenging. But now everything is possible. Although there are still many unclear threads in the web of causality, the most powerful being who could overturn all possibilities, my brother Jing Si, has already found it."
Recalling the terror of Jing Si... Shen Shuyue still shuddered at the thought.
"He will end it all. I will help him to end it all. That’s why the next mission is so important; you have to win over Dong Nianyu."
"But isn’t it hard to win her over?"
Shen Shuyue did not believe she could persuade a woman; if it had been a man, she would have been more confident.
"You can tell her that I can make it possible for her to see Bai Yuan again."
"Really? Is that possible? Using the Power of Causality? Then wouldn’t you be..."
Shen Shuyue could imagine that, if using the Power of Causality, Jing Liu’s body would likely be riddled with holes.
At the very least, this Bai Yuan was not a minor character.
But Jing Liu did not respond, only saying:
"Just make her believe that."
From this sentence, Shen Shuyue could guess that it was probably a false promise.
But she did not care; she firmly believed that Jing Liu was most correct.
...
After gathering her thoughts, Shen Shuyue said,
"Sister, you weren’t happy in the Land of Bliss, were you? You know all too well how Jing Yi dealt with you seven hundred years ago."
"Don’t you want to find the woman who took Bai Yuan away from you? You co from the sa origin as she does, and you are no less than her. You should always know why it was you who was cast aside..."
"Enough!" Dong Nianyu’s tone was tinged with anger.
The terrifying spiritual power seed to distort reality itself, making the surroundings resemble the painting of so famous abstract artist, where all straight lines warped and twisted.
"Xiaoyu sis, don’t believe her. Let be the one to kill her."
The voice of Xi Yunzi had beco ethereal, as if he were a god.
Shen Shuyue noticed that Xi Yunzi was enshrouded in a golden light, his divine presence emanating from him like a deity descending from the heavens.
Making Xi Yunzi, who looked handso but always lacked so temperant, suddenly seem like the arrival of a divine child.
The Red King, although far from matching the one who was Bai Yuan, was still the Red King.
On Xi Yunzi’s forehead, a swastika symbol appeared.
The power of faith, the unity of gods and demons.
As a level nine mutant, Shen Shuyue ordinarily would not take Xi Yunzi seriously, but now, Xi Yunzi appeared to possess the strength to fight her.
Yet this transformation was not over.
The perfect Mutation Entry—Faith Furnace, after all, is a capability that transforms spiritual power into tangible strength.
And the might of Dong Nianyu lies not only in possessing a Legendary Tier Mutation Entry.
Even without this entry, her sheer terrifying spiritual power alone makes her a formidable opponent.
Under the enhancent of Dong Nianyu’s spiritual power, the swastika on Xi Yunzi’s forehead radiated dazzling golden light, his body wrapped in mysterious golden runes.
His muscles were well-defined, and his skin slowly took on a golden hue, as if he were a Buddhist warrior.
His power had now multiplied many tis over compared to just monts ago.
Filled with surging strength, Xi Yunzi felt as though he could obliterate the world in an instant.
"I am the rcy of Buddha."
Xi Yunzi looked at Shen Shuyue, with no longer any appreciation for beauty in her eyes, only absolute indifference.
"Sister, is this your choice?" she asked. "It seems that words alone won’t persuade you, but that’s okay, I’ll prove my determination through my actions."
Shen Shuyue sighed, realizing Bai Yuan’s charm wasn’t enough. It looked like they were inevitably headed for a fight.
From a distance, Wu Jiu sensed Xi Yunzi’s power and calculated whether he could kill her.
Shen Shuyue’s position was unclear to Wu Jiu.
But in the process of dealing with Zhong Xu, Shen Shuyue appeared to be extrely important, and Wu Jiu also felt that this woman seed to be hiding so secret.
The cat found it strange, sensing the little man’s desire to help.
But that slightly annoyed it.
Because, on either side, there were beautiful won. But watching Wu Jiu place his hand on his blade, the cat couldn’t be bothered to stop him.
The woman in the white dress was troubleso; her spiritual power could warp reality. But she wasn’t unbeatable.
A great battle was about to unfold.
The atmosphere outside the Magic Tower was extrely tense.
Soon, as Shen Shuyue stepped forward to continue her persuasion, the battle inevitably erupted.
A colossal Buddha’s hand descended from the heavens, its terrifying power causing the city to tremble.
Amidst the dust-filled sky, Wu Jiu awaited the mont to strike.
...
...
Outside the Magic Tower’s area, a battle of the highest caliber for the World Beyond the Mist began to unfold.
Inside the world of the Magic Tower, ti did not sync with the outside. At this mont, it was five in the morning.
Bai Wu was unaware that the ga’s two players had already started their contest, and with the death of the four Qs—Jing Yi and Jing Liu—a real display of their strategies would soon erge.
But Bai Wu also had a premonition. After dealing with several Ks—
Perhaps then he would understand just how formidable the enemy that Bai Yuan and The First Generation had faced really was.
But for now, Bai Wu needed to crack the hospital’s puzzle and find a way through.
After a full day passed, Bai Wu was finally ready to leave. After settling things with Lu En, Bai Wu awaited his choice.
[At this ti, the sunlight had not yet reached into the room, and the staff were all sleeping. You think it’s ti to leave and you decide—]
[A: This is a nice room; I decide to stay another day.]
[B: Silence the little boy before leaving because no one else needs to know your whereabouts.]
[C: Leave alone and arrange for the little boy to call the police afterward, providing false information.]
[D: Leave alone.]
Bai Wu chose D.
Option C was good, but it might have caused Lu En to co under suspicion, especially since the doctor was a pervert.
Having promised to save him, Bai Wu didn’t want to bring any trouble to Lu En.
When Bai Wu chose D, he saw the "hindsight" provided by his eyes.
[If you had chosen A, you would have been reported by the person in the room opposite Lu En; if you had chosen B, Lu En would have used invisibility to escape, and ultimately, you would have been caught. If you had chosen C, the perverted doctor wouldn’t have believed Lu En’s words. Congratulations, you made the right choice again, but I really wanted to offer you an option E—quit the ga.
After all, the outside is quite exciting right now, and there are three people you want to et.]
Bai Wu didn’t understand the riddle—outside? Did it an outside the Magic Tower or outside the hospital?
And who were the three people he wanted to et?
Without overthinking, Bai Wu knew that the right choice signified the continuation of life and also new rewards.
When Bai Wu opened the door, he received a new prompt—
[You have successfully survived a day and will be able to add your own option in the next choice.]
