Song Que, Xu Zhifei...
The special abilities Zhou Tian spoke of imdiately reminded Bai Yanliang of them.
They indeed possess abnormal abilities unlike any human. If what Zhou Tian says is true, with his unscrupulous ways, it’s impossible for him not to have left a backdoor.
Bai Yanliang does not like being threatened, but...
"Tell , what do you want to cooperate on?" Bai Yanliang took a deep breath, stared at Zhou Tian, and asked softly.
Zhou Tian seed sowhat regretful, he sighed: "Actually, I was hoping you would refuse ."
"You have indeed grown into sothing both Bai Yanren and I did not anticipate, a soul originating from the Fog Realm where fierce ghosts wander, able to develop emotions akin to humans. It’s truly ironic."
After speaking, he turned away, seemingly losing interest in Bai Yanliang.
"Collaboration is simple; we need to speed up the process, or else everyone will be dood."
Zhou Tian said sothing Bai Yanliang did not expect.
"There has been a change. No matter how many foolish things Bai Yanren did ten years ago, there is at least one thing for which he deserves everyone’s respect, and that is for delaying the advent of the Fog Realm by ten years. However..."
"Recently, the Ti-Space Gap that blocked the Fog Realm and the Mortal World has completely disappeared. Do you understand what this ans?"
Zhou Tian turned to Bai Yanliang.
"The Fog Realm will accelerate its collision with the Mortal World," Bai Yanliang said.
"Exactly, and this also ans that the person originally staying in the Ti-Space Gap has already escaped. You should know without telling you, that person is Bai Yanren. I can tell you explicitly that Bai Yanren has left the Ti-Space Gap, he has given up blocking the Fog Realm, and at this mont, he is with the red spider lily in..."
Zhou Tian’s voice abruptly stopped, and after a mont, it whispered again: "The red spider lily is dead; Bai Yanren wants to retrieve all the keys."
"In fact, I am unwilling to cooperate with anyone. These actions are rely for survival. If the Fog Realm collides with the Mortal World, even hiding in the Ti-Space Gap won’t save us; no one can escape."
Zhou Tian said softly.
Bai Yanliang looked at him, and after a mont, he spoke: "The Fog Realm and the Mortal World have coexisted peacefully for years. From your description, it seems that it’s not the Mortal World and the Fog Realm attracting each other and about to collide, but rather, the Fog Realm is actively hurling itself towards the Mortal World."
"Am I to understand that Dr. Zhou Tian accidentally discovered the Fog Realm years ago, and used so ans to enter it and took sothing from it, which then led to the crisis in the Fog Gathering and the current situation?"
From the mont he entered the gate of the Dark Abyss, Bai Yanliang had been in an extrely passive state.
But upon hearing these words, Zhou Tian’s expression imdiately changed sowhat.
Back then, only he knew what had happened. Could it have been Yu Wenxuan who told Bai Yanliang?
"Don’t pretend, such a simple thing doesn’t need anyone to reveal," Bai Yanliang said coldly. "If I’m not mistaken, you want to go into the Fog Realm ahead of ti and return what you took from it, right?"
Zhou Tian’s face turned gloomy, and for a mont, he said nothing.
"Then take a guess, what did I take?"
Zhou Tian seed to still be confirming the information Bai Yanliang held.
"What else could it be? You’ve said yourself that, as a human, you cannot possess powers not belonging to humans, but you could place such power on Song Que and Xu Zhifei. The thing you used was taken from the Fog Realm, wasn’t it?"
Zhou Tian was initially stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Cooperating with a clever person really saves trouble, I indeed need not explain anything further. You’ve guessed about eighty percent correctly."
"So, we can imdiately proceed to the next step of cooperation..."
Zhou Tian suddenly moved abruptly close to Bai Yanliang’s face.
From his eye sockets, an eye pupil erged, then two, then three...
A multitude of pupils were suddenly staring at Bai Yanliang!
At this mont, Bai Yanliang’s spirit suddenly beca overwhelmingly weary.
He couldn’t control himself and closed his eyes, which had beco exceedingly heavy.
He did not know how long had passed, nor whether he was within the world inside the gate or in the real world.
Bai Yanliang only felt his body continuously falling, falling until... seemingly landing in a misty world.
Too quiet, this world is, so quiet that only his heartbeat can be heard.
Bai Yanliang was montarily shocked, then suddenly realized that being able to feel his own heartbeat implied that his consciousness had awakened?
Indeed, the scene slowly beca clearer to him.
He saw it, a giant ancient tree towering from earth to sky, like a pillar holding up the heavens.
Under the somber and vast sky, in his far-reaching view, the tree’s branches twisted thickly like a coiled dragon, densely forming a gray-black umbrella that supports the sky... yes, the leaves of this towering giant tree are gray-black, not green, or perhaps they were originally green, but now they are worn and decayed, decrepit and aged, as if even the wind blowing through them has turned gray.
Could this possibly be the Fog Realm...
Bai Yanliang still rembered clearly what had just occurred.
Zhou Tian suddenly ca close to him, his eyes emanated nurous pupils, and then... his consciousness began to sink, and upon awakening again, he was already in this place.
If this is the Fog Realm, or if it is the Fog Realm in Zhou Tian’s mory, then what does he want to see here?
Bai Yanliang tried to take steps towards that enormous tree reaching the sky.
However, no matter how he stepped, the distance between him and the giant tree did not diminish at all.
Yet, it wasn’t entirely without change from before.
From his current position, Bai Yanliang could vaguely see.
On the huge trunk of that towering giant tree, sothing seed to be moving.
Upon closer inspection, it seed to be a humanoid figure?
Naked, frail, and with ash-white skin...
Wait!
There’s more than one!
Bai Yanliang suddenly raised his head towards the tree crown that obscured the sky.
These leaves... these so-called leaves of the tree, seemingly swaying with the wind...
They’re all naked, twisted, and misshapen humans!
They covered the tree trunk layer upon layer, writhing unconsciously like maggots—an utterly horrifying sight!
These, this tree, these people... what exactly are they?
Just then, a "leaf" from the tree crown seed to fall with the wind, descending rapidly.
Bai Yanliang could see the twisted face of that ash-white body yet couldn’t hear any sound.
"Boom——"
The "leaf" crashed heavily in front of Bai Yanliang.
Crimson blood soaked into the soil, and on the distorted, frightened face, a pair of eyes were opened wide.
This body... this could be...
Himself!
"Buzz——"
Bai Yanliang felt a sharp pain in his head, and his consciousness detached instantly. Abruptly awakened, he opened his eyes to see the world inside the gate of the Dark Abyss, and the smiling Zhou Tian.
"You saw it, didn’t you? That tree."
