Sister, can I be the scabbard too?

Looking at the unknown entity hanging high in the sky,

Feeling the superpowers awakening within him,

The White Impermanence inevitably had a thought.

If Lin Yuan were here, would he also awaken his superpowers because of this?

Could the gifts bestowed upon him by this great being be transferred to Lin Yuan?

If I pray and offer a price, will He agree to such a transfer?

Bai Wuchang knew that such thoughts were extremely disrespectful.

Especially when facing a being many times more powerful than humanity,

This idea is almost blasphemous.

In religious terms, it's blasphemy.

But she couldn't help but think that way.

In her recent brush with death, she truly smelled the scent of death.

The smell was so unpleasant, and so cold.

She couldn't control her worries.

If Lin Yuan were to face such danger, and if no one came to his rescue this time, what would he do?

Yes, Tang Ling'er said that Lin Yuan would become humanity's hope and the most powerful being in the apocalyptic game.

But what if?

What if he doesn't become that kind of person this time?

Would he die in that case?

The image of Lin Yuan dying in his arms flashed through his mind, and Bai Wuchang's icy face instantly twisted.

She cupped her face in her hands, her whole body trembling.

No, no.

Only you, Lin Yuan,

You are the only one who absolutely cannot die!

Bai Wuchang stepped forward and shouted towards "Lin Yuan" on the dome:

"O great being, please take my power and bestow it upon Lin Yuan. I am willing to pay any price. I—hmm?"

White Impermanence didn't expect that before he could finish speaking, the golden light would slowly dissipate.

The unknown entity that saved humanity also vanished along with the light.

Also disappearing was the humble, black-robed, dog-eared lady who had always stood beside him.

But the group did not relax after their departure.

He always maintained a humble and respectful attitude.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Bai Wuchang finally relaxed.

"Is He... unwilling to grant my wish?"

White Impermanence clenched his fists in disappointment and lowered his head.

"Oh, don't be sad. I think it's not that He doesn't want to grant your wish."

Tang Ling'er patted her shoulder reassuringly.

"And who is He?"

White Impermanence raised his head.

"He probably didn't even listen to you."

Tang Ling'er said with a smile.

White Impermanence: ...

"Isn't this normal?" Tang Ling'er shrugged, speaking both to Bai Wuchang and to everyone else:

"We are powerless against worms."

"But the worms didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy when they faced him."

"If that's the case, aren't we even smaller than worms compared to this great being?"

"I'd like to ask you all, would you try to listen to what the ants on the roadside are saying?"

White Impermanence: ...

White Kelvin: ...

Director Liu: ...

Researchers: ...

Although what you said is true, why does it sound so unpleasant?

Wang Jiali raised her hand: "Of course I can! Why not? Isn't trying to understand what ants are thinking a perfectly normal thing?"

"Ugh, you people just have no thirst for knowledge. Being with you makes me feel...you know what I mean?"

But clearly, nobody here wanted to talk to her.

Tang Ling'er looked at Bai Wuchang again: "Alright, alright, you perverted brother-obsessed guy, believe me, the future Lin Yuan will be even more powerful than that being!"

Are you serious?

Before Tang Ling'er could speak, Director Liu spoke up.

"Of course, don't forget, I was reborn." Tang Ling'er stared into Director Liu's eyes and said solemnly:

"Whatever that being was, whatever its goodwill toward humanity, I urge you to understand that it is ultimately not human."

"But Lin Yuan is different; he is a true member of our clan."

She was implying—no, explicitly telling me—that I shouldn't give up hope of Lin Yuan just because I'd encountered that being… Director Liu shook his head:

"Ling'er, I will tell the leaders your thoughts truthfully."

"However, I personally believe that the federal government will never give up on the Lin Yuan line."

"On the one hand, we have no idea what the purpose of this unknown being is, nor how to contact it."

"On the other hand, for humanity today, the more hope the better, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Tang Ling'er nodded, but her heart was not at ease.

She was indeed particularly worried that the federal government might abandon its plan to grant Lin Yuan the highest authority because of the "divine intervention."

Listening to their conversation, Bai Kelu smacked his lips twice.

He recalled Lin Yuan's various abstract behaviors as an extremely domineering child, and felt a strange sense of incongruity.

It's hard to imagine that his unpredictable childhood sweetheart, the only abstract genius among the freshmen at Suzhou University who could rival Zhang Xiaobai, the god-like figure who had baffled countless teachers since childhood, Lin Yuan, could actually be discussed on the same level as the "god" just now...

This world is crazy, a mouse is a cat's best man...

"Gentlemen, while I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm for discussion, don't we have more important matters to address right now?"

Just then, a researcher suddenly raised his hand:

"How...how do we get out of here?"

The question silenced everyone.

Yeah, what to eat... no, how do we get out?

The crack that brought them in has disappeared. Are they going to stay here until the apocalypse game begins?

"We have enough food and water to last us for a month."

Director Liu inspected the supplies: "But the problem is, we can't be sure if there are any other dangers here."

"Moreover, the information here is so important that if it can't be relayed back..."

"I think you don't need to worry about that."

As Director Liu was speaking, a male voice suddenly came from beside him.

The voice was magnetic and extremely deep, with an indescribable...elegance.

Director Liu looked in the direction of the sound.

But then, next to the tombstone of the Sun Dynasty, another crack appeared.

Thick, black fog seeped from the cracks.

What followed was a terrifying aura that was both cold and gloomy, as if it were surging from purgatory into the human world.

Faced with that aura, everyone unconsciously swallowed hard, and their hearts pounded.

The next moment,

A middle-aged man dressed in a tailcoat, leaning on a cane, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat emerged from the crack.

Behind him followed a girl dressed in Lolita fashion, holding a parasol.

"Who are you?" Director Liu asked.

No sooner had one problem been solved than another arose, and the hearts of everyone who had just relaxed were once again on edge.

"Rest assured, our guests who have come from afar, we mean no harm, at least not now."

The middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed top hat tipped his hat to the crowd in greeting.

"We are a vampire who worship the Witch Empress, the Eternal Night Witch."

"That is, the witch who was just standing next to the great sun..."

"Loyal followers."
