The woman wore a plain white, curved-hemmed robe. Her skin was pale, with a texture resembling paper fibers. She was expressionless and looked like a paper doll folded from paper.
Just seeing her caused everyone's eyes to sting, and tears streamed down their faces.
At the same time, her name unconsciously came to everyone's mind.
The third seat of the human guardians, Bai Yuan.
She is also the only female demigod among the guardian demigods of humanity.
As Bai Yuan's body fully solidified, the room, which had previously appeared to be two-dimensional, returned to its original state.
Colin jumped up as if a needle had grown on his seat.
The others also hurriedly got up.
"Greetings, Lady Bai Yuan!"
Everyone bowed their heads in respect, not daring to look at Bai Yuan.
Do not investigate God! Do not look directly at God!
Although Bai Yuan is only a demigod, she still possesses divinity!
They had never seen a demigod before; the strongest they had ever seen was the Saint Qinglan Saint, who was at the Saint level.
But now that they've seen the white kite, they realize that demigods and saints seem to be completely different beings!
Although the Azure Mist Saint was extremely powerful and could easily destroy their base city, in their eyes, it was still within the human realm.
As for the white kite in front of them... in their eyes, they didn't even know if it could be considered human anymore.
This is humanity's guardian, the pillar of the Age of Mist, a demigod.
Bai Yuan's gaze swept over everyone, and they all felt an itch on their skin, as if something was about to grow out of it.
Fortunately, Bai Yuan quickly looked away, and their unusual behavior disappeared.
A sound like the subtle friction of sandpaper came from Bai Yuan's mouth: "You all go out first, I want to talk to Lu Ning alone."
Colin and his companions, unaware that cold sweat was already pouring down their backs, quickly nodded.
They turned and left the room.
Before leaving, they saw Lu Ning with a calm expression, looking at the white kite that resembled a paper puppet with a hint of curiosity and confusion in his eyes, seemingly unaffected.
Then the room door closed, and Bai Yuan floated lightly onto the sofa as if it were a piece of paper and sat down.
The moment she sat down, the lines of the sofa became much clearer, as if it were no longer made of leather and soft inner lining, but rather of paper.
Seeing Lu Ning looking at her, Bai Yuan said softly, "Sit down and talk."
Lu Ning nodded and sat down.
He stared intently at Bai Yuan, his eyes filled with confusion: "...Lady Bai Yuan, are you still human?"
After Lu Ning finished speaking, the entire activity room seemed to fall into a deathly silence.
The silence lasted only a moment. Bai Yuan looked at Lu Ning, a certain emotion flickering in her pupils, which seemed to hold an ever-changing matrix of light. She whispered, "Why do you ask that?"
Lu Ning paused for a moment before speaking, "You look somewhat like the evil god's avatar we encountered in the Mist No. 233. For other Awakened Ones, even Lord Qinglan, mental pollution is still considered an external phenomenon, but you..."
Lu Ning pointed to his eyes and said calmly, "In my eyes, you yourself are the source of pollution."
Lu Ning had already witnessed many cases of mental pollution. For the infected, the calamity beasts, and even the awakened individuals with a high degree of mental pollution, the white mist in their bodies was separate from their original bodies.
However, Bai Yuan seemed to be the pollution itself, and the white mist emanated from her.
As Lu Ning finished speaking, Bai Yuan looked at him in silence.
After the two stared at each other for a moment, a smile seemed to appear on Bai Yuan's expressionless paper doll face.
She calmly replied, "I don't know either."
Lu Ning was taken aback, somewhat confused: "You don't know?"
A guardian of humanity, a demigod-level powerhouse, who doesn't even know if he's still human?
If this were to get out, a large number of people would likely suffer mental breakdowns and become ill.
Bai Yuan nodded: "I don't know... It's not just me, none of them know either."
Lu Ning understood that the 'them' Bai Yuan mentioned were probably the other demigods.
"Why wouldn't you know?" Lu Ning asked.
Bai Yuan fell silent for a moment, then looked down at her hands.
Bai Yuan's knuckles seemed to be folded like paper, and then she said, "Because... we seem to be becoming evil gods."
Even Lu Ning's pupils flickered at this moment.
Bai Yuan ignored Lu Ning's reaction and calmly said, "This transformation is unknown even to the saints, except for a few of us. Sometimes we wonder if those evil gods were once beings just like us?"
Lu Ning fell into complete silence.
Bai Yuan's answer was completely unexpected.
"...Why would you think that? Why haven't any evil gods appeared among humans yet?"
Bai Yuan looked at Lu Ning for a long time, then shook her head: "It's too early for you to know the answer to this question now."
Hearing Bai Yuan say this, Lu Ning understood that she... no, she wouldn't tell him.
Lu Ning didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Ning looked at Bai Yuan and asked, "I heard from Lady Qinglan that you came to see me. I wonder what Lady Bai Yuan intends to say?"
Bai Yuan smiled slightly again and said softly, "I had something to take care of and just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd drop by to see you."
"And then what?"
Bai Yuan shook her head: "Nothing after that. I just came to see you on behalf of a few of us. I'm glad you could tell how I am."
Before Lu Ning could understand, Bai Yuan had already stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
Lu Ning stood up and said, "Shall I see you off?"
Bai Yuan shook her head.
