An emotion he had never experienced before welled up in his heart, accompanied by a slight soreness.

Chen Guan finally scrolled to the bottom of that post.

The last highly-rated comment stopped in the middle of the screen.

[President of the Chen Coffin Supporters Club (Cyber ​​Ghost Version): If the coffin is really gone, then I hope the screenwriter will have a conscience and at least let everyone know that he wasn't some strange monster; he died as a human.]

Chen Guan looked at that sentence for a few seconds, then scrolled up the page and closed the post.

He didn't expect that An Changqing and the others would see the final scene; he thought he would only be labeled as missing.

This trip to the icy sea was originally planned to take only a day or two, and he would soon return to Shanghai with a ride from Guan Jinyue.

Who could have imagined that witnessing death would instantly energize everyone?

He reopened the search bar, paused his finger on it, and typed in a few keywords.

[Icy Sea, Lord of Nothingness, Child, Mural]

It's time to end all this quickly and return to Shanghai.

The first batch of results displayed on the page were mostly irrelevant content.

Is the Lord of Nothingness the biggest hidden storyline in the later stages of the game?

[The official art team has truly gone mad regarding the research on the murals depicting faceless gods.]

[Anecdotes and unofficial historical accounts of the Immortal Beidou and the Lord of Nothingness]

Chen Guan's fingertip stopped on the last title.

Beidou.

He was familiar with the name.

The second-in-command of the Guiyuan Group.

Standing at the twelfth level of the world, a life-type immortal who has lived for countless years.

Chen Guan clicked into the post, and the first thing he saw in the main post was a screenshot.

The screenshot shows a scene that Chen Guan had never seen before.

The scene is dim, the snowfield is vast, and a child wearing a tattered cloak stands in the snow, clutching the hem of a long robe in his hand.

The person in the long robe did not show their face.

The child's face was mostly obscured by the wind and snow.

But that cloak, that hand tightly gripping the hem, perfectly match the child in the mural.

Chen Guan looked up at the snowfield mural on the wall, the forum screenshot and the mural overlapping in his mind.

Guan Jinyue noticed his movements and his gaze followed to the mural.

From Guan Jinyue's perspective, Chen Guan, who had been pondering with his head down, suddenly raised his head, as if he had figured something out.

"What did you find?"

Chen Guan continued reading.

[The Researcher Never Sleeps: To save everyone's data, let's start with the conclusion: the child in the trailer is most likely Beidou, for three reasons.]

[First, the background music during the post-credits scene was a variation of the Tree of Life melody from Beidou's entrance. Second, the seven hidden buttons on the child's cloak correspond to Beidou's codename. Third, the official lore mentions that Beidou has lived from the old era to the present, and he has only ever followed one person—the original leader.]

The comments section below was buzzing with activity.

[zdjd? Isn't Beidou supposed to be immune to serious crimes? Was his childhood really that miserable?]

Who is that faceless, robed figure? Judging from his attire, he seems to be a Void Lord entangled with the coffin.

If it is the Lord of Nothingness, then wasn't the Big Dipper raised by the Lord of Nothingness?

[Good heavens, the second-in-command is a god's orphan, this is the right move.]

[With the generational hierarchy completely messed up, what does that "Coffin Brother" even count for?]

Upon seeing this, Chen Guan had some guesses in his mind; these things were now connected in a line.

First, if what this netizen named "The Textual Researcher Who Never Sleeps" said is correct, then the builder of this site is very likely Beidou.

The reason is simple: because he is old enough.

So much so that even Baal didn't know his exact age, it's not surprising that he was from the same era as the Lord of Nothingness.

As for Chen Beixuan outside, his identity is also quite significant.

A name flashed through Chen Guan's mind: Kong Chen!

As a subordinate directly under Beidou, it is perfectly reasonable for Kong Chen to act as the manager of this area.

This explains why he, a retired member of the Great Wall, ignored Guan Jinyue, a wanted criminal, because Guan Jinyue was a swindler who was receiving salaries from several sources at the same time.

It turns out it was one of our own people; we've been set up again.

The coffin was turned over.

The original poster later added more screenshots and analysis.

There's also a line of dialogue.

I remember the way home, but that door will never open for me again.

Chen Guan stared at the sentence.

In the hallucination just now, the lip movements the child made to him might really have meant going home.

"go home……"

The silvery-blue light in the circular pool brightened slightly as he spoke.

Guan Jinyue raised his hand holding the sword: "It's reacting again."

Chen Guan closed the forum interface and walked to the last mural.

In the painting, a child kneels in front of a blank door, covering his face with his hands.

The man in the long robe had vanished, and there was nothing behind the door.

Guan Jinyue followed.

She looked at the painting, then at the coffin.

"Do you know who he is?"

Chen Guan looked at the painting. The pale blue stone lamps in the round hall burned quietly, their flames devoid of heat, casting only a thin shadow on the murals on the walls.

In the last painting, the child kneels in front of the door, his back view is pitifully small, but the seven hidden buttons are engraved very clearly.

It all fits together, everything fits together.

Seven pieces.

Beidou.

Chen Guan raised his hand, his fingertips hovering half an inch away from the mural, without touching it.

"Beidou".

Two words were uttered.

The ancient silver and blue characters at the bottom of the circular pool lit up together.

This time, the light didn't creep along the pool wall. It seemed to have heard a long-lost name, and it looked up from the traces of writing, then extended one by one towards the last mural.

Guan Jinyue took a half step forward with his sword, the tip hanging at his side, the silver spatial cracks pressed into his sleeve, like a snake trapped in a cage.

"You were just talking about... the Beidou from the Guiyuan Group?"

Chen Guan hummed in agreement, unsurprised that Guan Jinyue knew these things.

His hand touched the mural. Someone on the forum said that Beidou only followed one person, and that person was the original leader.

The figure depicted on the mural is the Lord of Nothingness, with whom he has crossed paths more than once.

The silvery-blue light in the circular pool had climbed to the bottom of the last mural, and the black and white stone bricks in front of the mural were gently offset, revealing a narrow crack.

A soft breeze came from the gap, as if inviting the two of them inside.

Baal's voice squeezed out of my mind again.

"Don't run around."

Chen Guan stopped in his tracks: "Didn't you just say this was a remnant of the oath?"

"I said it was a remnant, not that it was safe." Baal's tone was not good; old things are generally not very safe.

Because in an era of moral decay and social disorder, there were no taboos, and what is considered forbidden in modern times would be as easy as a basic attack in that era.

"Did Baal remind you too?"

Chen Guan hummed in agreement.

"Barr said not to touch it."

Guan Jinyue raised the tip of his sword slightly: "So, are you prepared to listen?"

Chen Guan glanced at her: "What do you think?"

Guan Jinyue did not ask any further questions.

She already knew the answer.

In her view, Chen Guan was a man so daring he was reckless.

These kinds of people are the most troublesome.

They may not seem crazy, but the things they do are often harder to persuade than those of a madman.

However, she also wanted to go down and find out, because it concerned the almost divine Beidou, an immortal being unknown to the world.

The past of a legendary figure inevitably evokes longing in people.

Chen Guan walked to the crevice, his meaning self-evident.

Barr cursed.

"You'll ruin yourself sooner or later, watch out for your weird resurrection ability getting your account banned."
