"???"
Yang Shen looked at Bai Yuan with pity. This guy had actually lost his memory?
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I don't know who you are. You suddenly barged into my manor and then fainted."
Is that really the case?
Bai Yuan frowned and asked blankly.
“Of course,” Yang Shen said. “I have other things to do, so I won’t entertain you any longer. You should leave now; it’s wrong to trespass on someone else’s estate.”
"Oh, okay, I'll be going now. If you know who I am, please let me know."
Bai Yuan said something slightly apologetic, then turned and left, tapping his head as he went, muttering to himself, "Strange, who am I, really?"
Only after walking a long way did large beads of sweat appear on Bai Yuan's forehead, and his hands trembled. Then, he suddenly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.
"My goodness, that scared the city lord to death..."
Bai Yuan was truly terrified. A mere youth who appeared to be at the peak of the Transformation Realm was actually able to shatter the city lord's spirit with his mental power, almost piercing through his sea of consciousness.
You think you're that powerful just because you're only at the Transformation Realm? Are you kidding me?
"That person must be possessing a great treasure, perhaps even a celestial treasure, or perhaps some old monster in disguise..."
After running a long way, Bai Yuan dared to use the teleportation function to return to the city lord's mansion, because teleportation takes time, and daring to teleport in a dangerous situation would be courting death.
"Luckily, I'm smart. As soon as I woke up, I pretended to be crazy. Otherwise, that guy would probably have killed me to silence me!"
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Yuan felt unsafe no matter how he thought about it. The presence of such a dangerous person in his Zhutian City was like a knife hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment.
Although he wanted to use his authority as the city lord to invoke the rules of the Heavenly City to suppress that person, he was not confident.
Although the rules of the City of All Heavens are very powerful, he clearly felt a force pierce through the City of All Heavens before.
What if that guy's power really can rival the rules of the City of Heavens?
What if?
He dared not gamble; he had never been a gambler, otherwise he wouldn't still only be level 60 at thousands of years old.
"By the way, who exactly is that guy? Why has this city lord never seen such a person come to test his talent before?"
Bai Yuan hurriedly searched for the owner of Manor No. 9 in District 10 of the outlying island.
He quickly discovered the other party's identity:
[Yang Shen, Survivor Level (Level 0), Special Talent: None]
"Yang Shen?"
Bai Yuan's pupils contracted. Based on his experience of living for thousands of years, as far as he knew, those who dared to name themselves with the word 'god' were either true big shots or arrogant, self-important fools.
Ordinary people dare not choose such names, as they would be tainted by the karma of the gods.
Besides his name, Yang Shen's cultivation level also made Bai Yuan very suspicious.
"His cultivation level appears to be at the peak of the Transformation Realm, but here it's actually level zero. Does he think I'm stupid?"
Bai Yuan muttered, "This kind of thing is almost impossible. But if it does happen, it must be because something went wrong with the smart assistant. The smart assistant's Destiny Stone has disappeared, and it failed to synchronize the test information to the archives of the Heavenly City!"
Suddenly, Bai Yuan understood everything and felt that he had finally solved the case.
It turns out that the missing Destiny Stone was actually in that person's hands.
But what good will it do to know?
He didn't dare to go and get it back.
If he wasn't sure before that 'Yang Shen' was a big shot, now he's absolutely certain.
Because if it were just a genius with strong mental power, it would be impossible to destroy an intelligent assistant, since intelligent assistants do not have mental power.
"How could such a great god appear in my small Free Heavens City?"
"No, I have to find a way to protect myself. Yes, I'll pretend to be crazy and act like I don't know he's a big shot."
Bai Yuan thought to himself, "Yes, also, it would be best to test him again. Aren't those geniuses from other planes coming? Arrange for them to stay in District 10 of the outlying island."
Those prodigies are all incredibly arrogant. If they meet that person, there will definitely be friction, and I can observe them secretly.
"But what if he finds out? What if he kills me in a fit of rage?"
Bai Yuan was still very worried.
But then he thought, "All newcomers have to live on the outlying islands, and they can only move out if they make enough contributions. This is just a normal procedure, so what am I worried about?"
"Yes, that's how it should be done. I, the city lord, didn't do anything!"
Bai Yuan thought he was really smart; it seemed he was best suited to be the mastermind behind everything.
"Moreover, this city lord has reason to suspect that the guy might be the big shot who helped people defy fate before. If those geniuses gain the favor of that big shot, they might even obtain a great opportunity!"
"This city lord is too kind, always thinking of others."
"But I absolutely cannot let him discover any trace of my tampering, otherwise he will definitely kill me. Some big shots may be powerful, but they are petty. If a big shot kills a level 60 survivor like me, I doubt even the Human Alliance will speak up for me."
...
Achoo!
Inside the manor, Yang Shen suddenly sneezed: "Could it be that Hongyan misses me? I should ask her where she lives."
...
In the city lord's mansion, Bai Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously took out a mirror to look at himself.
He had studied physiognomy before, and although he only knew a very basic thing, he could tell that his forehead was dark, which meant he was about to have a lot of bad luck.
