Frightening Joke: Above the Mist

"Live."

Bai Yanren's answer was concise.

However, this answer made Xun Weimo's pupils contract.

Then he calmly spread his hands: "I have no more questions. My key is within me, take it."

With just a slight nod, the next moment, Xun Weimo's figure disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed in this world.

"Next, take me to find Feng Yiru."

Bai Yanren turned and looked at Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang's emotion was completely unperturbed, even after witnessing He Yige and Xun Weimo's deaths, he seemed utterly indifferent.

"As you wish."

To Bai Yanren's request, Bai Yanliang responded with a faint smile and agreed.

————

"Boss."

Inside the dim Gate of Dark Abyss, a figure in a white suit was particularly eye-catching.

Zhou Tian looked over there: "I have fulfilled my promise."

"Next, it's your turn to fulfill your promise," Zhou Tian smiled, "Ren Wudao."

The figure in the white suit slowly lifted his head, it was none other than Yu Sheng's brother, Ren Wudao.

"I am willing," Ren Wudao's voice echoed in the dim space, "but..."

His eyes sparkled with a hint of light: "Can I know the reason for this?"

"I need someone to achieve that condition," Zhou Tian said, "My plan is not profound, it's easy to understand, it just requires another person to, like me, completely abandon emotion, embrace the most rational self, and together we can create... a brand new world."

Ren Wudao looked up at him: "The Fog Realm and the Mortal World are about to collide, you mean there is another way besides mutual destruction?"

Zhou Tian's expression was quite peculiar: "Of course! I have always said this, and I have always done this, but you cannot understand, can you understand?"

As he said this, his emotions seemed somewhat out of control, yet he had just claimed that he had completely abandoned emotion, truly contradictory.

"Our world is a material world, but the Fog Realm is a world of consciousness."

"Consciousness needs to rely on something to manifest life forms, in a world where material is not the basic unit, emotion is the best carrier for consciousness."

"Especially negative emotions."

He let out a chuckle:

"Human beings, this form of life, no matter how happy they are at the moment, the duration is no more than a day or two, or even shorter. But negative emotions can persist for a very long time, joy and anger, sorrow and happiness, love and hatred... joy and love are fleeting, only anger and sorrow, hatred and enmity, last in the world."

"That huge yet almost unconscious [Spirit Body] of the Fog Realm, needs this carrier."

Zhou Tian spoke up to here, but Ren Wudao still furrowed his brow slightly.

He indeed promised Zhou Tian, as long as Zhou Tian helped cure Yu Sheng, or rather... as long as he could make Yu Sheng "live," he would be willing to exchange the rest of his life.

This period, Zhou Tian had fulfilled the agreement, but for Ren Wudao, since he agreed, he naturally wanted to do his utmost to complete what he agreed to do.

But at this moment, he still could not understand Zhou Tian's meaning.

Zhou Tian looked at Ren Wudao, and with a wave of his hand, a design appeared in the dark space that Ren Wudao had never imagined.

"Is this, the Tai Chi Diagram?"

Zhou Tian nodded: "Very early on, our predecessors found the answer, this diagram is the answer."

Ren Wudao wasn't foolish, he also understood the meaning represented by this Tai Chi Diagram, but, what does this have to do with the Fog Realm and the Mortal World?

Wait...

Yin and Yang oppose yet unify, each using the other's existence as the basis for their own existence.

Yin and Yang embrace each other, mutually forming head and tail, you within me, me within you.

Yin and Yang, one firm and one gentle, one active and one passive.

This is just like the Mortal World and the Fog Realm...

"You mean the collision between the Fog Realm and the Mortal World will not lead to destruction, but rather, like this Tai Chi Diagram, they will fuse together to become a new world?"

Zhou Tian finally nodded, but his face showed no hint of a smile.

"There is a possibility of mutual fusion, if we don't do something, destruction is inevitable."

"See those two fish eyes in the Tai Chi Diagram?" Zhou Tian's expression was calm.

Ren Wudao looked up.

The Tai Chi Diagram fused black and white into one, the intertwined two colors are also called Yin Yang Fish.

The black dot in the white fish, and the white dot in the black fish, are also known as the fish eyes.

"Two completely different worlds, like the pure black and pure white of this Tai Chi Diagram, in collision they will inevitably be unable to fuse, only collapse."

Zhou Tian murmured softly.

"But, as long as Yin generates within Yang, and Yang generates within Yin, with the existence of these two fish eyes, a gravitational vortex can form, achieving a subtle balance."

"For the Mortal World and the Fog Realm, do you understand the meaning of these two fish eyes?"

Zhou Tian looked at Ren Wudao.

Ren Wudao nodded, after all this time, he finally understood what Zhou Tian was trying to do.

If he hadn't already given his body and heart completely to Zhou Tian, perhaps Zhou Tian wouldn't have been so generous as to reveal everything to someone who absolutely couldn't betray him.

What Zhou Tian had been doing was shaping a fish eye for the Mortal World.

That is... although born from the material world, awareness can determine matter.

And, although born from the Fog Realm, matter decides the awareness of the person.

"What a pity, Bai Yanliang was a great candidate, his body was from the Mortal World, his soul from the Fog Realm, he had no emotions or feelings, his personal perception was always higher in awareness, when experiencing himself, it was like a god-like perspective."

"Unfortunately... he was contaminated."

Zhou Tian smiled wryly: "So, Bai Yanliang is no longer a good choice, he could have been the fish eye of the real world, but now, his only use is to become the key to opening the Door of Wuji Realm, allowing us to send the Fog Realm's fish eye over."

"He truly missed... an opportunity to become a god in the new world..."

Zhou Tian murmured softly.

With that, he looked at Ren Wudao again.

"But, fortunately, we have you."

Zhou Tian's tone seemed to carry a trace of gratitude.

"Finding someone with a strong enough spiritual world willing to completely abandon their body and heart is rare indeed."

"Ren Wudao..." Zhou Tian approached him, whispered, "You and I will become the gods of the new world."

"Next, I will cleanse the humanity from you, you will no longer have those trivial emotions, you will rule the Mortal World with absolute rationality, becoming the fish eye of the Mortal World."

"And for me, as you have seen... my body has long ceased to exist, I can grow from any flesh that has made a pact with me, just one step away... I can achieve the complete dominance of consciousness over matter."

"At that moment, the instant Bai Yanliang opens the Door of Wuji Realm, it will be my time to go to the Fog Realm and become the fish eye of the Fog Realm."

Zhou Tian closed his eyes, whispering:

"We... will save the world this way."
