Buzz——

When Wu Liang finished speaking, he clearly felt a slight vibration from the [Ghost Compendium] in his hands.

The low buzzing sounded like a gentle tap on an ancient thousand-year-old bell with a little wooden stick, carrying a hint of ancient resonance amidst its dullness.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as Wu Liang once again opened the [Ghost Compendium].

He similarly ignored a large amount of Fierce Ghost information and directly flipped to the last blank page.

However, this time when he turned to it, a line of strange writing was clearly recorded on it—

[There are no gods in the world]

[Gods come from the human heart]

Seeing this, Wu Liang couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Are you teaching me now? Can a broken book like you understand the human heart better than I do? Don't forget, your consciousness essentially comes from me."

As soon as the words were spoken, the delicately written regular script disappeared.

Then, as if there were an invisible calligrapher in the air wielding a brush dipped in ink, strokes began to emerge with other writings.

[But you are merely human]

[The essence of this world is beyond human comprehension]

Wu Liang's expression gradually shifted from playful to somewhat serious.

This was his first attempt at direct communication with the consciousness inside the [Ghost Compendium]; previously, he had only suspected such a situation but had no way to confirm that the [Ghost Compendium] possessed its own consciousness.

Now, this unembellished conversation almost confirmed that the other party had the ability to think and was willing to engage in dialogue with him.

Otherwise, if the [Ghost Compendium] had kept the page blank, Wu Liang would have had no way of dealing with it.

"Then what is the essence of this world? If I, being human, can't see it clearly, how can you know?"

Upon hearing Wu Liang's words, the [Ghost Compendium] was silent for a moment.

Then the words were erased, and new content emerged—

[You are free to check for yourself]

[You know what to do]

After saying this, the words disappeared.

The entire [Ghost Compendium] seemed to return to its initial state of merely being a Celestial Book.

No matter how much Wu Liang inquired, there was no response, as if everything that just happened was an absurd dream.

So he re-read the blank page, holding his breath and concentrating.

Indeed, as the [Ghost Compendium] said—Wu Liang knew what to do.

Ever since he entered the Human Ancestor Temple before, frantically flipping through the last blank page was not a gamble or a test of will against the [Ghost Compendium].

Rather, Wu Liang had been persistently convincing himself from deep within, instilling the belief that the [Ghost Compendium] possessed an independent consciousness, and that this consciousness would come forth for a dialogue with him.

Just as he had previously used [modify reality] to conjure water for consumption without any depletion, Wu Liang tried to make it all seem so natural.

He eventually succeeded.

And precisely because the [Ghost Compendium] emerged for a conversation, Wu Liang was even more certain that the other party seemed to have become one with him from some fundamental essence.

From this moment on, the [Ghost Compendium] was no longer just a Celestial Book existing in his mind.

It was a part of him, as natural as his limbs.

Now, all he needed to do was respond as if raising a glass of water, controlling a part of his body to react.

"Then I won't hold back; come on, let me see your so-called essence."

Wu Liang smiled and reached for the last blank page of the [Ghost Compendium].

Strangely, this time no words appeared, nor did any special consciousness communicate with him.

Instead, something even more inexplicable happened—Wu Liang's hand went through it.

The blank page was like a dragonfly-thin space barrier, just pressing a hand on it was enough to touch the other side of the space.

It resembled a Mountain and River Map that can encompass all things, even though its size was as small as a textbook, it did not hinder Wu Liang from slowly passing through, from finger to arm, then to head and torso, until finally, his entire being entered the blank page of the [Ghost Compendium].

Bang—

After entering the book, the [Ghost Compendium], with no external force, naturally closed and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the Emotion Ghost outside the plains incomprehensibly turned its head towards the Human Ancestor Temple; Yin Qiming, who was interrogating Zeng Hu, also restrained his smile and furrowed his brows; in the Capital City office, Director Long, discussing Pioneer issues with Bai Qi, dropped his pen on the desk;

Even Yao Qingxue, far away in the Peach Blossom Spring, watering flowers leisurely, had her smile freeze, and dropped the watering can to the ground with a clang.

Tears gradually welled up in her eyes as she muttered in disbelief, "Xiaoliang… where have you gone?"

From this moment, everyone familiar with Wu Liang's aura, including the Emotion Ghost standing stunned outside the door and Yin Qiming, could no longer sense his presence at all.

It should be noted that Wu Liang's mother, Yao Qingxue, being the strongest Awakened, was able to sense his presence in the world even when he entered special spaces like the Apang Palace, at most unable to pinpoint his exact location.

But now, this bizarre phenomenon didn't feel like an intentional concealment of aura nor entering a special space realm, but rather a complete disappearance from this world.
