"Big brother? Who are you?"
The child's voice echoed in his mind, and Bai Yanliang jolted awake.
Qi Nian and those who had died were all gone, as if their sole purpose was to awaken the other soul within Bai Yanliang.
"I am..."
Bai Yanliang fell silent; he didn't know how to speak to this child.
Who am I?
A human baby born in the Fog Realm, Zhou Tian and ng Zhen's child?
A thief who possessed soone else's body, a bad tenant?
Ultimately, he didn't even know his real na.
"Then who are you, little friend?" Bai Yanliang tried to change the subject, "Why are you in my body?"
However, what the child said next nearly left Bai Yanliang dumbfounded.
"My na is Zhou Xiaonian! My mom's na is ng Zhen, and I don't know why I'm here, it's so dark around... I can't move, where's my mom?"
The child's voice grew smaller, yet it stirred a great upheaval within Bai Yanliang.
Wait...
This soul isn't the real Bai Yanliang?!
Zhou Xiaonian... He is truly Zhou Tian and ng Zhen's child!
Then who am I?
Bai Yanliang's mind beca a whirl, and he stepped out of the room, wanting to find a bench on the street to sit down, but his eyes landed on the imnse Mother Tree atop the celestial do.
Calm... I must stay calm.
Firstly, my mory starts from the night Bai Yanren died, which is ten years ago.
And the real Bai Yanliang also had a terminal illness, dying at a very young age.
Bai Yanren used so thod to bring him back to life, but the resurrected soul was not the original Bai Yanliang, but an unfamiliar soul, which is the current Bai Yanliang.
Yet now, the other soul within the body has awakened, calling himself Zhou Xiaonian, Zhou Tian and ng Zhen's child.
So...
I am not Bai Yanliang, nor am I Zhou Tian and ng Zhen's child, then... Who am I really? When did I enter this body?
Bai Yanliang faintly felt he was about to grasp sothing...
Grasp a very obscure yet crucial clue.
His fingers and body trembled involuntarily, as if the next step would lead into an abyss.
Review it all again...
Taking ten years ago as the starting point, my mory begins the night after Bai Yanren died, so ten years ago, the soul in this body should have been the real Bai Yanliang.
Then... The mont it beca "" could only be... the night Bai Yanren died!
What exactly did Bai Yanren do that night?
Yes...
A flash of lightning crossed Bai Yanliang's mind, illuminating all his doubts.
My mory begins the day after Bai Yanren died.
It can be entirely understood that on the day Bai Yanren died, sothing was done to the body of "Bai Yanliang," leading to "my" birth.
So, the real Bai Yanliang had two souls from the start; one was the original soul, and the other was a human baby from the Fog Realm, Zhou Xiaonian.
In that dream, Bai Yanliang's original soul was gradually erased by Bai Yanren, which ans... According to Bai Yanren's initial plan, he intended for Zhou Xiaonian's soul to dominate this body nad Bai Yanliang.
Yet, sothing unforeseen occurred that night ten years ago, resulting in Bai Yanren's death.
At the sa ti, the body that should have been occupied by Zhou Xiaonian was suddenly possessed by an unknown soul, which gradually matured into the current "Bai Yanliang."
Bai Yanliang's thoughts beca increasingly clear, yet so emotions he shouldn't have were gradually awakening.
Connecting it to Bai Yanren's disappearance for ten years.
Connecting it to how Fog Gathering always chose him...
In Bai Yanliang's heart, there arose a terrifying yet logically consistent speculation.
Ten years ago, the night Bai Yanren died.
Though not knowing exactly what Bai Yanren did.
But that night, Bai Yanren's disappearance and the ergence of "Bai Yanliang" happened simultaneously.
Coupled with Fog Gathering targeting him at every turn...
And now, with Bai Yanren having been exposed as the mastermind behind Fog Gathering.
The most probable answer is only one...
Bai Yanliang, or rather, the Bai Yanliang of these past ten years, is Bai Yanren himself!
Or... was once a part of Bai Yanren.
I understand now...
Based on this series of clues, Bai Yanliang finally discovered the answer.
Everything began with Zhou Tian and ng Zhen, discovering the connection between the Human World and the Fog Realm; for so reason, ng Zhen beca lost in the Fog Realm.
Moreover, in the Fog Realm, ng Zhen gave birth to a son, nad Zhou Xiaonian.
At that ti, the Fog Realm, perhaps due to the arrival of humanity, underwent so sort of change, leading to the ergence of the consciousness known as "Bai Yanren."
"Bai Yanren" perhaps reached so kind of cooperative agreent with ng Zhen, or possibly Zhou Tian.
One of the conditions was to send this child born in the Fog Realm back to the Human World.
In so unknown manner, Bai Yanren traveled to the Human World and was successfully reborn in the Bai Family, simultaneously fulfilling his promise by bringing Zhou Xiaonian's soul along and also reborn in the Bai Family, becoming his younger brother.
Next, Bai Yanren's journey in the Human World may not have been smooth, or perhaps sothing unexpected happened.
In any case, one night ten years ago, he died.
Or rather, he had to die, part of his consciousness entered the body of the "Zhou Xiaonian," nad as his younger brother, and occupied this body, becoming the new Bai Yanliang.
And this Bai Yanliang is the current... .
Bai Yanliang looked at his own hands; this body had three owners, the first being the original owner, who has vanished entirely. The second was Zhou Xiaonian, brought from the Fog Realm by Bai Yanren, later suppressed and occupied, and has just now resurfaced.
The third... is ; on that night ten years ago, Bai Yanren died, and I was born.
This is no coincidence... His death and my birth are connected in so way, even causally related.
But why does he want to kill ?
Additionally, there are many ways to kill, why does it seem he only employs Fog Gathering?
Wait... perhaps it's because Zhou Xiaonian still exists, he doesn't dare to destroy the body entirely to eliminate .
If it's within Fog Gathering, controlled by him, he could easily erase my consciousness within the rules...
In this light, Zhou Tian's or ng Zhen's cooperation with Bai Yanren is much tighter than imagined.
Yet... the reason for his attempt to kill isn't fully clear. Is it rely to release Zhou Xiaonian?
Now, at this mont he successfully released Zhou Xiaonian's consciousness, done through Qi Nian and the others.
This ans, currently, he must display Zhou Xiaonian as still alive, because...
Zhou Tian or ng Zhen is watching this place right now!
Only by witnessing Zhou Xiaonian alive can their cooperation continue...
Bai Yanliang clenched his fist firmly and quickly left.
Just now, he realized why Bai Yanren wanted to remove him but couldn't harm Zhou Xiaonian.
Perhaps...
My existence also poses a certain level of threat to Bai Yanren himself.
