Master Hui'an glanced outside.

It was indeed getting late.

“Alright then! I’ll stay here tonight.” Master Hui’an smiled, then seemed to remember something: “Is my room still available? If it’s inconvenient, I’ll find a hotel outside.”

In her mind, she hadn't been here for so many years, and she had even fallen out with her senior brother back then. Now her senior brother had two more disciples, so her room should no longer exist.

“Yes! Master has always kept your room! Master said that your room will always be kept for you.” Liu Yiyi said to Master Hui’an with a smile.

Master Hui'an pursed her lips.

Even in death, her senior brother still managed to trick her into shedding tears!

“Uncle, please stay in the guest room on the second floor. You’ve come all this way, thank you for your trouble. I’m sure you must be tired. Please come with me, I’ll take you to rest.” Liu Yiyi smiled at the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest now only feels mentally exhausted.

He truly hadn't expected that such a terrifying figure would be living in seclusion in this small city of Yang.

He had never heard of him before.

The weary old Taoist priest, guided by Liu Yiyi, arrived at the guest room and settled in.

After the old Taoist priest left, Zhang Tianle looked at Abbess Hui'an, who was still sitting in her seat: "Aunt, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask!"

After Liu Yiyi led the old Taoist away, Master Huian fixed her wise eyes on him, scrutinizing him carefully, and countless scriptures were turning in her eyes.

It seemed that he had nowhere to hide under the discerning eyes of Abbess Huian.

“I’m searching for traces of cause and effect!” Master Hui’an sighed, “But I can’t see anything.”

Master Hui'an withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the scriptures in her eyes had disappeared.

The faint golden light in the pupils also disappeared along with them.

“Nephew, don’t misunderstand. I used my Insightful Eye on you not to see through you, but to find a cause and effect to prove my guess.”

Master Hui'an sighed again at this point, her face full of weariness, a weariness that extended from her mind to her body: "Perhaps my cultivation is too shallow, or perhaps everything is just as I see it. It's just my wishful thinking."

Zhang Tianle was confused by Master Hui'an's words: "Master, what are you trying to say?"

"I'm wondering, the reason you've become like this, able to use your magic so recklessly, even changing the fate of others, is it because your master changed your fate? Using his life to alter your predetermined destiny!"

Upon hearing Master Hui'an's words, Zhang Tianle suddenly stood up from his seat and went to Master Hui'an: "And what was the result?"

He was also very curious whether he was really as Master Hui'an had said.

Master Hui'an shook her head: "I can't see it! I really can't see it! There are no traces of cause and effect on you! It's as if no one has ever changed your fate from beginning to end!"

This is actually not mysterious at all.

As long as a person is alive, it is impossible for them not to be influenced by anyone. As long as they are influenced, cause and effect will be created. And once cause and effect are created, we can see the cause and effect that these people have created through these cause and effect lines.

But she couldn't see any causal connection in Zhang Tianle.

It's as if Zhang Tianle really had no karmic connection with anyone.

Such a clean causal line is definitely abnormal.

But ironically, he was frighteningly clean.

This is also what Master Hui'an finds most puzzling.

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"Master?"

Zhang Tianle looked at Abbess Hui'an, who was muttering to herself and in a strange state.

Seeing that Abbess Hui'an did not react, he channeled his spiritual energy and called out again, "Master's sister!"

This spirited shout instantly brought Master Hui'an back to her senses.

Master Hui'an turned to look at Zhang Tianle, her face filled with despair: "Tianle, I'm wondering if your master's soul still exists? I originally thought your master sacrificed his life to save you, but when I saw the causal lines on your body that had no trace of cause and effect, I knew that your master's death had nothing to do with you."

So I'm wondering, for whom did your master die, or rather, what was his ultimate purpose in doing so?

Zhang Tianle was stunned for a moment. When he saw the tired and even somewhat desperate look on Master Hui'an's face, he couldn't help but frown.

He began to think about it carefully.

He had always felt that there was something suspicious about his master's death.

So he also looked for the reasons.

But as he searched, he became even more confused.

“Master’s sister, I’m actually very confused too. I’ve also searched for Master’s soul, but I feel like I’m being caught in one vortex after another.” Zhang Tianle said, covering his face and sighing.

Then Zhang Tianle reported to Master Hui'an about his search for his master's soul over the past few days.

Of course, he overlooked the existence of the system.

He had previously tried to talk to Liu Yiyi about the system, but the conversation would automatically be muted.

Therefore, this cannot be discussed with these people during the system's operation.

Even if it's brought up, they won't understand.

After Zhang Tianle finished speaking, Abbess Hui'an narrowed her eyes: "You mean to say that my senior brother knelt before the faceless statue? Are you sure? Is your source reliable?"

"Yes. Very reliable!" Zhang Tianle nodded solemnly.

This was transmitted to him by the system, so it is naturally very reliable.

"A faceless statue! Hah... A faceless statue! How is this possible? It's been so many years, why has it appeared now?"

Master Hui'an let out a few sorrowful laughs.

The laughter carried an even greater sense of despair.

"Master, so what is this faceless statue?"

Upon seeing Master Hui'an's expression and demeanor, Zhang Tianle knew that she absolutely knew the origin of the faceless statue.

However, when he inquired about the origin of the faceless statue from the system, the system would always evade the question and would not answer at all.

"Hmm. Have you heard of the Heavenly Way?"

Master Hui'an lowered her eyes in resistance.

"Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Dao to appear in this era! After all, the Heavenly Dao was already shattered a thousand years ago."

As soon as Master Hui'an said this, a loud thunderclap rang out outside.

"Oh? It really exists! I thought it didn't exist! Why can't I say no? If you don't allow it, then strike me dead! I want to see if you're willing to take on all the karma I'm burdened with!" Upon hearing the thunder, Abbess Hui'an immediately challenged the Heavenly Dao outside.

However, after Master Hui'an said that, the thunder outside stopped.

At this moment, Abbess Hui'an turned her gaze back to Zhang Tianle: "A thousand years ago, it is said that a very, very big event occurred, an event that caused our world to lose all its gods!"
