There is a very simple way to find the mastermind behind it all.

Whoever benefits the most, whoever picks the last peach, is the mastermind behind it all.

No, it is.

If we consider the upper realm as a 'living being,' a conscious existence, what does it want?

The instinct of life is to continue.

This is normal.

As someone who is extremely afraid of death, Ye Bai understands this all too well.

What are the consequences of this world giving birth to an extremely powerful demon god?

Once the supreme demon god is completely freed from its shackles, this realm will be destroyed, and the upper realm will also be destroyed.

In order to survive, the most powerful demon god must die.

"If we follow this line of reasoning..."

Ye Bai discovered something chilling upon closer inspection:

The carefree... is the origin of the upper realm!

Or rather, it used to be.

The butterflies of today are the origin of the upper world.

But what does this mean?

The moment the Eternal Tower was created, the moment the Upper Realm and this Realm communicated, the origin of the Upper Realm's world arrived at the Eternal Tower.

What is it here for?

Self-rescue...

In other words, regardless of whether the third-generation strongest human, Xiaoyao, believes that Xiaoyao is dreaming of a butterfly, or the butterfly is dreaming of Xiaoyao.

The final result remains the same.

The origin of the upper world was destined to fight to the death with the most powerful demon god!

Only by killing the most powerful demon god can the upper realm have a chance to continue.

As for the life or death of this realm... the upper realm doesn't care.

Ye Bai gave a bleak smile.

Before he knew these things, Ye Bai didn't think much about it.

Now, looking at it from a higher perspective, the whole thing takes on a completely different feel.

Xiaoyao himself is connected to the upper realm.

Ye Bai's appearance is also related to Xiaoyao.

In other words, at some point in the entire game, Xiaoyao might also be a piece.

If that's the case... then some things can be explained.

Xiaoyao never talked to Ye Bai about his background.

Even when Ye Bai brought it up, Xiaoyao didn't continue the conversation.

Secondly, after that great battle, Xiaoyao did not leave the Supreme Abyss.

If one wishes to guard the most powerful abyss, Xiaoyao has more flexible options.

He could step back first, let the butterflies heal his wounds, and then return to the Abyss of Ultimate Power.

Xiaoyao did not do that.

He remained directly in the Abyss of Supreme Power.

In Xiaoyao's view, this was the best choice, and the only choice.

Ye Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. Would his third brother be in danger if he left the Supreme Abyss?!

Let's put this matter aside for now.

Ye Bai's current strength is not enough to help Xiaoyao solve the problem.

He still has a lot of things to deal with.

Finally, and most importantly.

Xiaoyao did not give Ye Bai the entire Supreme Mark!

He is not the strongest yet!

What does this event signify?

Ye Bai didn't know.

However, there must be a reason why Xiaoyao did this.

Ye Bai felt as if he had encountered a mystery. He was so close to the answer, yet he couldn't reach it.

It's a tangled mess, impossible to unravel.

The grumpy old pigeon didn't speak again, but instead let Ye Bai think on his own.

Wuhen told Ye Bai everything he knew.

Wuhen wasn't entirely sure about the rest and needed time to figure it out.

After all, Wuhen suspected that his appearance was also related to the Upper Realm.

There's no way around it, He's just too powerful.

So powerful...it transcends the realm of the monstrous, defying explanation by common sense.

Something unusual must be going on.

Even the strongest among humans have their own problems to solve.

Ye Bai let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

"It's time to go see Third Brother."
