"But sir, if I rush over now, will it be too late?"

"Of course there's still time. This fog is not that simple." Yuxi chuckled, his words full of deep meaning.

It's not that simple...

Of course, Ai Si knew that things here were not that simple. When she accidentally discovered that the Tower of Principle had conducted such an incredible experiment in Sandres, she knew that everything here would not be simple.

It was an experiment called "No Faith". The purpose of this experiment was to prove whether the world could survive without faith. After all, in the Island of Hope at that time, almost every living thing had its own faith.

As pioneers in exploring the boundaries of faith, scholars from the Tower of Reason and Matter came up with this bold conjecture and put it into practice.

The first step of this experiment is to open up a whole new "world", Sandles.

Therefore, the Ice Abyss of Sandres was not formed naturally, but was created by the Tower of Matter through the means of [Truth]. They created a "Pure Land" isolated from the Continent of Hope, and sent countless refugees whose memories were erased into this pure land.

Then, a century-long experimental observation began.

In order to survive, these refugees gradually adapted to the cold weather, developed a unique Hanyuan culture, and truly took root here. Soon, the population began to grow steadily.

It was at this time, when Hanyuan culture began to develop explosively, that the Tower of Reason intervened again. They planned to spread the concept of "Gods create the end of the world, faith is like a plague" in this "pure land", and emphasized that no faith is the only way to support the existence of the last pure land in the world, thereby completely eliminating the possibility of any faith sprouting.

The countless pipes buried underground are their control channels for observing and intervening in the life of the town!

No scholar can enter the town without authorization. They can only control the overall situation at the control channel, monitor and deal with all explorers who attempt to leave the town in search of a wider living space.

With authorization, they can sneak into the town through specific entrances and exits, pretending to be town residents to spread news or erase residents' memories to achieve different experimental purposes.

That's how Sandres was observed and studied by scholars in the Tower of Physics for a hundred years, like a fish in a tank.

The "natives" who grew up in Hanyuan might never imagine that not only their dreams but even their daily lives are not real. They are like flesh and blood in a petri dish. The only difference is that these "flesh and blood" have different consciousnesses, but they are all at the mercy of others like fish on a chopping board.

The entire town is a huge experimental field, and every busy resident in it is a variable in this experiment.

If nothing unexpected had happened, this experiment would have ended in "very successful" results. The scholars of the Department of Consciousness and Belief were almost certain that belief was not the only basis for the existence of life, nor was it the destination of life. They argued with other scholars of other departments in front of the Erudite Presidential Conference, hoping to write this "blasphemous" statement into the textbooks of the Tower of Reason and Quality and spread it for thousands of years...

But at this moment, the biggest surprise of the experiment occurred.

No one would have thought that in a pure world where all life firmly believed in having no faith, a wild god named "No Faith" was born.

No, it is hard to say whether it is a wild god or a false god. In short, the form of that faith aggregate is very similar to the various false gods that the Tower of Matter has spent a lot of resources to create, but He is purer than the so-called false gods.

Now, the entire Tower of Principle and Matter was in an uproar.

When a life without faith firmly believes in having no faith, this belief will actually give birth to a "faithless" god!

No one knows whether this absurd scene is a satire on divinity or a blasphemy against faith, but in any case it is a denial of the experimental results.

As a result, the scholars from various departments started arguing with each other again, and the Presidential Council even went so far as to invite the gods to descend and ask the Truth about the future of faith.

No one knew what happened after that. Ai Si only found out that in history, the Tower of Matter gradually forgot about this incident. The only thing that could be confirmed later was that Sandres was abandoned and became the dumping ground for the entire Tower of Matter's experimental waste.

Since then, this bitter and cold land gradually declined and no news was ever heard of it again.

until......

The ghost story of Sandres gradually spread from the bottom of the Frost Abyss, and players gradually learned that there was such a little-noticed place in the Tower of Reason.

Ai Si sorted out his memories, trying to find out from these historical facts what Master Yuxi meant by "not simple".

She had indeed come here for the god of no faith. It was said that finding that existence would broaden the scope of her own faith. She didn't know how her faith would be broadened, but it would definitely be right to try to look for it first.

But now, after receiving the vague promise from Master Yuxi, Ai Si suddenly had a clearer goal, which was to help Longjing, a member of the team whom he had never met before, to find the master's ears and make this "performance" even more exciting.

As for what exactly happened between the adult's ears and that faithless god, perhaps all the answers lie in the theater of faith in the center of the town.

So Ai Si moved. She accepted the props given to her by Master Yuxi and stepped into the fog cautiously.

Looking at this "only" teammate walking on the "right" path, Yuxi... no, Longjing laughed happily.

Yes, the current Yuxi was played by Longjing. He did not think that this was a blasphemy against Lord Yuxi. After all, the information he conveyed was all true and there was no exaggeration.

And using the identity of a fool to deceive others is also a kind of tribute to Master Fool.

He guessed the identities of all the players in this game, and also guessed why a few of them came here. Since everyone has the same purpose, how could he be wrong to use Mr. Yuxi's identity to increase his chances of winning?

"The fate weaver, the dragon king, the unlucky thing, the little skull...

The trial has not yet ended, and it is still unknown who will win.

I hope you can fight more fiercely in there. I don’t believe that it would be so easy to find Mr. Yuxi’s ears.

The price of finding the tongue is losing a mask, and that pair of ears... at least one pair must be lost, right?

Ha, I want to see whose mask ends up here."

As he spoke, Long Jing also drank a bottle of potion and walked into the fog with his head down.
