Then the entire room seemed to turn into paper once again.
Bai Yuan's body seemed to be erased, with lines being drawn away and disappearing until they finally vanished.
With the white kite gone, the room returned to its original state.
Lu Ning stared in the direction Bai Yuan had left, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long while, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Ning snapped out of his daze, looked at the door, and said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Li Mu peeked in.
Lu Ning said calmly, "Lady Bai Yuan left long ago."
Li Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She pushed the door open, strode in, and patted her chest, exclaiming, "Is that a demigod? That's terrifying!"
Colin, Ke Qing, and others followed behind Li Mu.
Ayha nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I felt like I turned into a paper doll just now! I couldn't see what was in front of me or behind me!"
Shi Shan nodded repeatedly, "I feel the same way."
The others looked shocked, their eyes filled with fear.
"Me too. Did we really turn into paper figures just now?" Colin asked incredulously.
"How did they do that?? Is this what a demigod is? They don't even seem human anymore," Ke Qing murmured.
Lu Ning glanced at Ke Qing.
Colin snapped out of his daze and looked at Lu Ning, asking, "Lu Ning, what did Lady Bai Yuan want to talk to you about just now?"
Everyone looked at Lu Ning with some curiosity.
Then Colin seemed to realize something and said with a serious expression, "If you can't tell us, then don't tell us. We don't want to die yet."
It's easy to imagine how dangerous things are when it involves demigods.
Lu Ning shook his head: "He just came to see me."
Colin and the others were taken aback.
"...What do you mean? I just came to see you? I didn't say anything?"
Lu Ning nodded: "He didn't say anything."
He certainly wouldn't say that Bai Yuan was talking about the demigod turning into an evil god.
He felt that Colin and others might not be able to accept it.
Hearing from Lu Ning that Bai Yuan had only come to see him made Colin and the others feel both envious and fortunate.
"It really is you, Lu Ning. Even a demigod came to see you." Wang Qiwen patted Lu Ning on the shoulder, his expression complicated.
He had long admired Lu Ning to the point of complete awe.
But even a demigod came to visit him, which still made Wang Qiwen feel somewhat unreal for a moment.
That's a demigod! The guardian of humanity!
Colin laughed and said, "It's a good thing they didn't come to see me, otherwise I might have been so nervous that I developed a disease."
The others also expressed their opinions with smiles.
…………
Inside a bronze room filled with hourglass patterns, an elderly man with white hair silently gazes at the giant hourglass before him.
The sands of time in the hourglass are slowly flowing backward from bottom to top.
The old man's wrinkled face was reflected in the glass.
Within his pupils, an ancient compass slowly rotated against the flow of time.
The face, which was originally full of wrinkles, seems to be gradually regaining its youthful appearance.
The old man chuckled and asked, "You saw him?"
Bai Yuan nodded slightly: "Mm."
How are you feeling?
Bai Yuan remained silent for a long time before saying, "Incredible, he saw through our condition."
The old man was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "As expected of him."
"Him?" The matrix in Bai Yuan's pupils changed at an accelerated pace.
The old man nodded: "He is human, and always has been."
Bai Yuan fell silent, this time for an even longer period: "What about the probability?"
"One in thirty quadrillion."
Bai Yuan slowly said, "The passage formed by the folded mist collapsed, and it lasted for less than a day."
The old man had now reverted to his middle-aged appearance. He chuckled and said, "I've already said it, it's impossible to succeed."
Bai Yuan did not answer, but calmly said, "I don't believe in fate."
The middle-aged man chuckled and joked, "I thought you would believe it, after all, fate is right in front of you."
Bai Yuan frowned and asked, "You don't seem worried?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "If you can change it, then change it; if you can't, then die. What else can you do?"
Bai Yuan: "...Will you blend into the mist?"
"There is no such option," the middle-aged man replied without hesitation.
The compass in his eyes seemed to be humming: "We are human, we always have been."
Bai Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I will try to build an ark paper boat."
The middle-aged man has now returned to his youthful appearance.
He sighed helplessly, "Instead of wasting time like this, why not find an opportunity to kill a few of the evil god's minions?"
Bai Yuan did not answer, and her body disappeared again as if it had been wiped away.
The young man still had his back to the direction Bai Yuan had left in.
At this moment, all the sands of time in the hourglass have flowed backward to the upper half.
He calmly stroked the hourglass and said softly, "I don't believe in fate either... The 300 trillion nine hundred and forty-fourth deduction begins."
The youth transformed into a clump of sand, which danced and formed an ancient compass.
The compass rotated, gradually turning transparent before disappearing completely.
Only a voice filled with pain and anticipation echoed in the room: "He's finally here! Mom, bless me... bless me to find that path."
