Chapter 401 The Truth
"I'm not Zhou Tian."

Yu Wenxuan spoke briefly and to the point, while glancing in Gu Pingsheng's direction.

"You've been acting a little strange since you came back from your disappearance. I just wanted to remind you..."

Yu Wenxuan retracted his gaze and stared at Bai Yanliang: "Instead of falling into an illusory sense of self-awareness, it is better to do something practical."

"Also, you have received too much information, and your energy will be wasted on distinguishing truth from lies. In my opinion, it is better to treat them all as lies. There is only one thing we need to grasp - the end of the fog."

"No matter what conspiracy or calculations other people or organizations have, they cannot shake the fact that the last key to Fengquan Command Prison will be condensed in our hands."

Yu Wenxuan turned around and the final reminder came:

"Don't analyze people and things that are hard to tell true from false. Let them analyze you."

"Don't follow in their footsteps. Go in a new direction and let them follow you..."

Bai Yanliang had a blank expression on his face. He stood on the river bank, watching Yu Wenxuan's back gradually disappearing into the distance.

People are like this. They understand the principles, but when they are really involved, they are inevitably confused.

"Yu Wenxuan!"

Bai Yanliang shouted.

This voice was also heard on the trail not far away. Song Que and others who were confronting Gu Pingsheng turned their heads and their eyes fell on Bai Yanliang.

Yu Wenxuan stopped and heard Bai Yanliang ask:

"Am I the only one who can enter that world?"

Yu Wenxuan did not turn around, but his voice came from afar:

"Don't you already know the answer?"

Bai Yanliang remained silent, watching Yu Wenxuan walk away.

Yu Wenxuan denied that he was Zhou Tian, ​​but there must be some kind of relationship between him and Zhou Tian, ​​otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the huge amount of information that Yu Wenxuan possessed.

And the last words he left behind indeed confirmed Bai Yanliang's guess.

I... am really not a human being.

Why is Yu Wenxuan sure that he is the only one who can enter the "world of ghosts"?
Because he knew that the hometown of Bai Yanliang's soul... was that world.

He was just a strange soul that grew up in the body of a dead child named Bai Yanliang.

Yu Wenxuan’s request was also very simple. He didn’t want to see Bai Yanliang confused, nor did he want him to be dragged into the “artificial settings” of the Abyss and the Nine Hells.

There was only one thing he wanted to do - to enter the fog world.

Yu Wenxuan walked in the slightly cool night breeze, his thoughts in his mind extremely clear.

The last time the fog gathered, Bai Yanren made a final attempt, but still failed. Yu Wenxuan knew the reason.

He knew almost everything about Wu Ji.

He did not deceive Bai Yanliang, he was not Zhou Tian.

but……

He may be the only person in the world who can understand Bai Yanliang's struggle and empathize with Bai Yanliang.

However, none of this matters. As he himself said just now, all man-made conspiracies and lies are nothing to be afraid of.

Over the years, the only people who have truly walked on the right path are him and Bai Yanren.

Now, Bai Yanren is dead.

But his death was not in vain. He obtained important information and... left Bai Yanliang with a real way out.

Instead of leaving only obscure bloody hints to the next "selves" as in past reincarnations.

Will Bai Yanliang be chosen by Wu Ji every time?

of course……

Because the person in control of Wu Ji has always been his dead "brother".

Whoever has the most keys will have greater power, but even if they can do something in the fog concentration, it is only relative.

Wu Ji is indeed the boundary between life and death.

The rules of the human world and the world of evil spirits are completely different. The two sides are involved and restricted by each other. It is more like a collision of the wills of two worlds than a confrontation between humans and ghosts.

Fog Set is just a balance.

On the left is the human world, and on the right is the fog world. Obtaining the key means obtaining the qualification to open the "Gate to the Fog World", and humans have obtained part of the power of the fog world.

When reflected on the scale, it means that humans can do some things with the help of fog.

such as……

Leave a hint in blood, or... designate the next person to be chosen.

All the keys in the past were in Bai Yanren's hands. After all, he was the only one who had the memory of all the reincarnations.

But... Zhou Tian also has memories.

The person who discovered the fog world was Zhou Tian, ​​and the person who released this horrific disaster was also Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian knows everything about the Mist Realm, so... Yu Wenxuan also knows.

[The boat sails under the moon, and the people die in the water] is a safety set by the deceased Bai Yanren, and it is also the last thing he can do in Wu Ji using the key he has.

Maybe he told Bai Yanliang the truth?
Maybe he didn't say anything, but just wanted to see how things progressed in ten years?
Who knows...

For Yu Wenxuan, none of this matters.

Time is running out.

Fog Set is a balance.

After the chosen human passes through the hell realm of the current reincarnation, he can obtain the key, thereby slightly manipulating the fog to favor the human side.

This is the advantage of the human world.

However, the advantages of the fog world are not acquired gradually like they are by humans.

In the nine cycles of hell, if all humans escape, the final game will be triggered.

Enter the fog world and... escape from the fog world.

However, it cannot be done.

Bai Yanren, who possessed the memories of all his reincarnations, had long ago tried to enter the Mist World. He did open the door, but he only opened up a subspace of the real world and could not reach the Mist World at all.

Moreover, even those subspaces opened by the key were full of rejection towards people from his real world, and he simply couldn't stay there.

It’s a lie…

What a big lie!
Even if one successfully escapes from all nine cycles of hell, one will still obtain all nine keys.

But humans...can't enter the fog world at all!
This life-and-death game between the human world and the fog world was doomed to failure from the very beginning.

Since humans cannot survive in the fog world, how can they complete their final escape there?

Who told this lie?
Or……

Who on earth signed this contract with a certain being in the fog world, causing Wu Ji to awaken and forcing humans to fight a life-and-death battle with evil spirits?
It’s Zhoutian.

No one else knows, including Bai Yanren.

But Yu Wenxuan's memory told him that person was Zhou Tian.

Although even Yu Wenxuan didn't know what Zhou Tian had done, the awakening of Wu Ji and the launching of bloody missions one after another were indeed caused by Zhou Tian.

Perhaps, Zhou Tian, ​​who signed the contract with the Mist Realm, did not know that he had been deceived.

Maybe he knew...but he had to tell this huge lie to extend the nine reincarnations of hell as much as possible in order to survive.

Yu Wenxuan doesn't care what the truth is.

He raised his head and looked at the full moon hanging above his head.

He knew that in the end, either the fog world would devour the human world, or humans would successfully escape.

Everything will happen again.

Because humans are slaves to emotions.

The strange power that roams in the fog world likes to attach itself to negative emotions the most.

If people don’t die, ghosts won’t die either.

They can't stop anything at all.

Maybe the only thing we can do is to live well.
