"Wait a minute...those people have disappeared too..." At this moment, Yu Fuling suddenly shouted.
Xiao Tangqiu looked up and saw that the noisy and clamorous crowd that originally surrounded them gradually disappeared from their sight with the light of the rising sun... But soon, he found that it was not those people who disappeared, but they disappeared!
This time, everyone did not feel dizzy and dazed, but appeared directly in the dark tunnel.
They finally returned to the dark tunnel again.
Duan Hongzhen sneered: "What the hell! It's not them who disappeared, it's us who disappeared!"
"We are back again..."
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly: "This tunnel again..." For some reason, he had an especially bad feeling in his heart this time.
"Isn't the matter over yet? But haven't the mountain gods been dealt with by the great god Shen Yuan?" Tang Mianmian was confused.
At this moment, a female voice sounded coldly: "No, the mountain god has not disappeared yet."
Everyone turned their heads and were shocked at the same time. For some reason, the priestess Ruyue had come with them!
Xiao Tangqiu was startled. How could Ruyue be in this tunnel with them? Logically, wasn't Ruyue from Baigui Town? No! Those people seemed to have said that there were no shrine maidens at the Ruyue Shrine in Baigui Town! So, who was Ruyue?
"Not disappeared yet? What does that mean?" Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows.
Ruyue said coldly: "What you just destroyed was just a projection of the mountain god. The real mountain god... was in the Hundred Ghosts Village hundreds of years ago."
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Ruyue was silent for a while before she slowly spoke, "Because the real mountain god disappeared hundreds of years ago."
Everyone fell silent at once. Xiao Tangqiu was also confused. "The real mountain god disappeared long ago? Then what about the later mountain god? Didn't you say it came back?"
Ruyue was silent for a long time, then said calmly, "It's an obsession, a dream from which one can't wake up, just like those people and places you've seen before..."
The people and places they had seen before? Like the one with the spiky hair and the school where no one survived the earthquake?
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly grasped something, but he couldn't believe it: "Are you saying that the mountain god of Baigui Town is just an illusion dreamed by the people of Baigui Town?"
Ruyue said calmly, "Once a mountain god disappears due to a lack of faith, it will never return, because it is no longer needed, it has already 'died'... However, if someone possesses a strong obsession, they may be able to call back a portion of the mountain god's consciousness. However, this muddled consciousness is definitely not the true mountain god, but only a projection of it."
Xiao Tangqiu continued, catching onto Ruyue's words. "You're saying that the true mountain god disappeared hundreds of years ago, but someone later summoned back a portion of his consciousness with a strong obsession. This confused part of the mountain god discovered that later generations no longer believed in it devoutly, so it angrily absorbed the power of their faith, attempting to restore its original might as a mountain god, bringing terrible disaster to the residents of Baigui Town?"
Ruyue nodded and said calmly, "Although you have eliminated the part of the mountain god's consciousness that awakened hundreds of years ago, its true form is still very powerful hundreds of years ago. If you cannot completely eliminate the true mountain god, it will still bring the same great disaster to Hundred Ghosts Town hundreds of years from now."
Xiao Tangqiu was suddenly shocked. Is this finally here? Is this their real mission?
——Destroy the mountain god!
The Samsara team looked at each other for a while. After a moment, Xue Junli said, "Let's go out first."
Duan Hongzhen crossed his arms over his chest and turned to ask Ruyue, "Will you go with us?"
Ruyue nodded and said calmly, "Of course."
"Then, answer me a question first... Who are you?"
