When Ye Bai saw the ugly heart at the bottom of the stone tablet, he understood everything.

In his mind, countless fragmented details pieced together at that moment, restoring the truth.

The facts have always been right in front of Ye Bai.

Ying Jiu, however, used the simplest of tricks to fool everyone.

For certain reasons, those who knew the inside story were willing to cooperate with Shadow Nine in this scam.

In fact, this scam wasn't even intended to fool Ye Bai from the very beginning; it was designed to deceive Xue Meng and everyone else who was unaware of the truth...

Only two people brought this up with Ye Bai.

Huo the Madman, living a carefree life.

The former was his last words before he died.

The latter is outspokenness, which disdains lying.

Without them, even with his keen insight, Ye Bai would have had a hard time seeing through the deception.

Because in this scam, Ying Jiu did not lie.

Every word he told Ye Bai was true; there was no falsehood in it.

This is a hoax woven from the truth; it's a hoax that has been going on for 97 years.

The most successful aspect of this scam is that it contains not a single lie.

Ye Bai had never thought about one question:

What is Xue Jiu's Eternal ID?

Ye Bai didn't ask.

Shadow Nine never said that.

Today, he knows the answer.

Why is it that despite his formidable record, the Human King Xue Jiu left no trace in the Eternal Tower...?

Why did Xue Jiu's name appear in the vortex...?

Why is it that Ninth Master, with his innate talent, is able to dominate the abyss, killing whomever he chooses...?

Why did Ninth Master want to seize the Supreme Mark and achieve the position of supreme power...?

I've figured everything out.

Ye Bai closed his eyes slightly, gritted his teeth, and tried his best not to let the tears flow from his eyes, so that Xue Meng would not notice anything unusual.

He sniffed.

But my heart is bleeding.

Ye Bai sighed softly to himself.

"Oh, it's you, big brother."
