Have humans really compromised?

No…

At least the voice in the depths of my heart filled with doubt has not compromised.

Bai Yanren is a master manipulator of people, perhaps indeed some people support his actions, but there are far more who are silent, who are unwilling.

At the very least, the children have not been given any right to choose.

Realizing Bai Yanliang's hesitation, Bai Yanren was ready to add fuel to the fire.

He knows Bai Yanliang too well, even better than Bai Yanliang knows himself.

Deep in Bai Yanliang's heart, the death of some people is also a regret for him, just mentioning those people's names will surely convince Bai Yanliang.

However, Bai Yanren never anticipated that the course of events had already diverged radically from his expectations.

The surge of mist from Fog Gathering, the collision between the Fog Realm and the Mortal World, was supposed to gradually integrate under the mist of Fog Gathering, but…

It went mad.

The residues from the Fog Realm, they've all gone mad!

They have overlapped and merged into one giant "human-shaped worm," leaping down from the sky!

It's so enormous… How could it not be when it's the amalgamation of all the residues from the Fog Realm?

Bai Yanren was initially stunned, then his face changed dramatically.

Wrong… Someone interfered!

Someone gave these residues human memories, awakening their intelligence!

But why did they merge?

Who can do such a thing?

Wait…

Zhou Tian!

It's Zhou Tian!

Only Zhou Tian, who has studied the Fog Realm for so many years, can do such a thing.

But why would he do this? His wife's life is in my hands… Doesn't he want to see his wife resurrected?

Bai Yanren almost immediately realized that Zhou Tian had violated their agreement.

But he couldn't fathom or understand why Zhou Tian would do this.

Aren't humans human precisely because they have emotions?

The relationship with Meng Zhen has supported Zhou Tian for so many years; he was even willing to be used by Bai Yanren. With his wife's resurrection imminent, why would he do something so foolish?

What frustrates Bai Yanren even more is the clear feeling that the "Fog Realm" power he once controlled is now wavering.

It's him…

Bai Yanliang is competing with me!

Damn it…

Bai Yanren's gaze gradually turns icy cold.

Becoming increasingly human-like is indeed not a good thing.

The inherent flaws of humanity have even appeared in himself.

He actually harbored expectations and thoughts of trust, such foolish ideas.

Just as Bai Yanren was preparing to entirely eliminate Bai Yanliang while he still controlled most of the "Fog Realm authority."

He heard Bai Yanliang's clear voice:

"Hey, brother, this is the last time I call you that."

Bai Yanliang's voice even had a hint of an upward tone, completely different from before.

"Your goal is to merge the Fog Realm and the Mortal World to create a new world, and the lubricant for the fusion is Fog Gathering, along with the various essences you've collected over the years. That mist should be the result of the collaboration between the humans of the Mortal World and the ghosts of the Fog Realm, right?"

"Look, this worm seems to be devouring them."

As Bai Yanliang finished speaking, Bai Yanren hurriedly looked at the giant residual human-shaped worm leaping down from the sky.

Just as Bai Yanliang said, it is indeed devouring Fog Gathering!

No…

More precisely, it is devouring the Mortal World, the Fog Realm, and the space of Fog Gathering!

The places it devours, the space stops healing and instead forms a chaotic void, where nothing exists.

Bai Yanren's pupils contracted.

This thing…

This human-shaped residual shed giant insect can actually devour "worlds"!

What exactly is Zhou Tian planning!

As the human-shaped residual shed giant insect devours, its form becomes larger and larger, already as big as Ghost Head Mountain. Its grotesque body is covered with countless pupils and orifices; each orifice can tightly attach to space, sucking on it like a vortex. The space first fluctuates, then distorts, and finally, like water swirling down a drain, it is absorbed into its body.

A vast area of space instantly disappears, becoming chaos.

Watching the worm growing larger and larger, Bai Yanliang continued, "Now, if you want to take back all the Fog Realm power from me, it will take some time. Honestly, I can't beat you, but I won't sit here waiting for death either. If you want to eradicate me and gain all the Fog Realm's [authority], at least you'll have to stalemate with me for a while. Look at its speed, do you think… by then, how much of the two worlds would have been devoured by it?"

"Moreover, even if you obtained all the Fog Realm power, can you deal with it?"

Bai Yanliang's words resonated like a giant bell in Bai Yanren's mind, indeed… the aura emitted by this giant insect had already greatly surprised Bai Yanren; it was an extremely ancient and terrifying aura.

Can I really destroy it?

At this moment, Bai Yanren suddenly discovered that Zhou Tian's face was gradually appearing on the back of the giant worm!

His face turned pale at last.

He had to admit, he lost.

It's Zhou Tian…

Everything he did had simply paved the way for Zhou Tian.

With a gray face, Bai Yanren now understood the cause and effect of everything.

The statement that Meng Zhen accidentally fell into the Fog Realm was the biggest lie.

If the Fog Realm could truly be entered accidentally, it would not have taken him years to connect the two realms.

It was a lie…

It was Zhou Tian's lie!

Perhaps Meng Zhen never knew until her death that she didn't accidentally fall into the Fog Realm but was personally lured there by her husband…

Zhou Tian loved her; this was one thing Zhou Tian didn't lie about.

But he loved himself more.

After witnessing the mysterious power of the Fog Realm, humankind, these short-lived species tormented by birth, old age, sickness, and death, had long wearied Zhou Tian.

What he was always researching wasn't how to bring his wife back from the Fog Realm, or how to resurrect her.

It was… how to let humans… achieve immortality.

After years of experimentation, he found only one way.

The essence of all living beings is the possession of "self-awareness," otherwise, even if granted immortality, it would merely be a walking corpse.

Conversely, as long as "self-awareness" exists, why be confined to the shell?

Human appearance is merely a residue destined to decay…

The only shell that can endure is… the energy body.

Therefore, Zhou Tian's plan began a very, very long time ago.

First, how to extract his "self-awareness" and properly place it into another shell.

Second, how to create a pure energy body shell?

For the former, by cloning himself and constantly transferring consciousness, he was successful in his experiments.

However, the latter was much more difficult.

Converting oneself into an energy body life form requires an enormous amount of energy, but a material world can satisfy this.

Yet he couldn't tap into the origin of the material world.

But…

They can.
