Bai Yuan nodded, then opened a spatial passage: "Let's go."
"Shall we go?" Xuanxu asked.
Bai Yuan shook her head: "You guys go ahead and get busy. Li Yang told me he wants to meet Lu Ning alone, so you don't need to come along."
"Oh well."
Lu Ning followed Bai Yuan through the spatial passage.
They soon arrived at a room.
Lu Ning's gaze swept across the entire room, and he noticed that the room was covered with hourglass patterns, and the building was made of bronze metal.
In the center of the room, an hourglass floats in the air, and the sands of time inside are slowly flowing backward from bottom to top.
Lu Ning could see white mist emanating from the hourglass; it was a soul artifact.
Moreover, its level is not low.
A figure stood in front of the hourglass, with his back to Lu Ning and Bai Yuan.
Perhaps sensing someone approaching, the figure slowly turned its head.
He was a handsome young man who was looking at Lu Ning with a complicated expression in his eyes.
When Lu Ning saw the young man, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
This face... why does it look so familiar?
Li Yang and Lu Ning looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
Bai Yuan calmly introduced, "This is Li Yang, the first awakened human."
Lu Ning nodded, looked calmly at Li Yang, and asked, "Have we met before? You look very familiar."
Bai Yuan was taken aback, glancing at Lu Ning with some confusion, then at Li Yang.
Does it look familiar?
Have the two met?
Just as Bai Yuan was feeling a bit confused, Li Yang smiled and said, "We've never met, but I've seen your picture."
Lu Ning was not surprised by this.
He joined the Bureau of the Mist and did indeed take photos.
However, he still felt that Li Yang looked very familiar.
Just then, Li Yang spoke up again: "Old photos, before the Mist Era."
Upon hearing this, both Lu Ning and Bai Yuan were taken aback.
Bai Yuan looked at Li Yang with some surprise.
He actually saw a photo of Lu Ning from before the Mist Era?
Li Yang has never mentioned this.
but……
Li Yang appears to have been born before the "Foggy Era".
Was Lu Ning very famous before?
Or is it...?
While Bai Yuan was pondering, Lu Ning was also thinking.
He stared straight at Li Yang, his eyes flickering, as if he had sensed something.
"Who is Lu An'an to you?"
Before entering the mist, Lu Ning had an older sister named Lu An'an.
The parents named the two children Anning, hoping they would have peace, joy, and a smooth life.
Clearly, the parents' expectations were not met.
Lu Ning now understands why Li Yang in front of him seems somewhat familiar.
Li Yang bears a resemblance to Lu An'an.
Li Yang's expression was complicated, but he smiled and said, "She is my mother."
Even Bai Yuan, who was usually calm, stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
She looked at Li Yang, then at Lu Ning, her mouth agape, her face stiff.
Is Li Yang's mother Lu Ning's older sister?
Are the two relatives?
Lu Ning didn't know how he felt at the moment. He looked at Li Yang with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and his heart felt as if it was being gripped by something, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
The first human to awaken was actually his relative, his sister's son?
Li Yang chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, you're still my uncle."
Lu Ning pursed her lips, then asked, "Lu An'an... what happened to your mother, and your grandparents?"
Li Yang looked at Lu Ning with a complicated expression and said calmly, "I was the first Awakened One. When the mist descended, the mental pollution was not too serious. Although the environment was turbulent, I was able to protect them... They lived a fulfilling life."
Lu Ning's eyes flickered for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said slowly, "Is that so... That's good."
Bai Yuan also came to her senses at this moment. She said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that you two would know each other. What a coincidence."
Li Yang's eyes flickered, and he chuckled, "Is it a coincidence? It's inevitable."
Bai Yuan was taken aback and looked at Li Yang with some confusion.
She knew that Li Yang was an Awakened One of the Fate System, and the only Awakened One of the Fate System among humans in all these years of the Mist Era.
Li Yang is indispensable to humanity's ability to survive for two thousand years in the Fog Age and establish the current base city system.
Li Yang, a fortune teller, actually felt that this was not a coincidence, but an inevitable destiny.
There's clearly something going on here.
Lu Ning was also somewhat puzzled and asked, "What is inevitable? Why is it inevitable?"
Li Yang revealed a mysterious smile: "Everything, my awakening, my abilities, the continuation of humanity over the past two thousand years, everything is inevitable. As for the reason... it's because I'm your nephew, and because of your mother's blessing."
Bai Yuan stared wide-eyed at Li Yang, somewhat astonished, feeling a sense of disbelief.
What does Li Yang mean?
He was humanity's first awakened being, and his awakening was inevitable?
Even his awakened power of destiny was inevitable?
The reason was actually because of his identity?
Lu Ning...?
She looked at Lu Ning with some surprise.
Lu Ning's expression was also somewhat confused.
However, his eyes flickered, revealing a hint of understanding.
He said slowly, "Is it because of me? Is your awakening because of me? Are your abilities also because of me?"
