Chapter 444 The Truth
Bai Yanliang wasn't kidding.
He turned around and looked at Yecheng. This place, this world... was like a short dream to him.
Although he had no emotions before, he would occasionally wonder in his heart, why am I like this? Am I sick?
He actually knew that he was different from normal people, but he never thought that his origins were so strange.
But...he was the instigator of all this.
It was Zhou Tian who had already merged with the huge remnant.
However, there is one thing that Bai Yanliang still can't figure out.
Why can Zhou Tian stay awake and merge with these remnants?
How exactly did he do it?
He is not a creature from the fog world, nor does he have the ability to change matter with his will. In the final analysis, he is a thorough human being.
How exactly did he do it?
Using his consciousness to control his body, Bai Yanliang came to the mother tree of the Mist Realm.
Compared with this huge tree, he seemed extremely small, like a wave in the ocean.
At this moment, the roots of the mother tree were wrapping around the giant debris, madly absorbing the huge energy from it.
But its own trembling was becoming more and more violent, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
"You're crazy." Zhou Tian said no more. He knew that he was powerless to stop Bai Yanliang, let alone change Bai Yanliang's mind.
For him, the only way now is to devour the world more frantically. As long as the energy he absorbs is more than that absorbed by the mother tree of the fog world, he still has a chance of winning.
At that time, even if the sky falls, even if the world collapses, he will be able to complete his plan. Although a large part of the energy will be lost, he has reserved a lot of room for this plan.
If he just uses it by himself... that's enough.
As soon as Zhou Tian finished speaking and quickened the insect's feeding speed, he heard teeth-grinding sounds coming from all directions.
Looking closely, it turned out that it was Bai Yanliang who was controlling the Mother Tree of the Mist Realm, which had grown blood-red vines that were reaching towards him.
As long as Zhou Tian is controlled by these vines, he will never be able to make any big waves again.
Zhou Tian also knew how powerful it was. Bai Yanliang was obviously fighting desperately. He did not harbor any illusions. The giant molted insect suddenly "collapsed", and he saw that it had indeed become at least one-tenth smaller. Although it looked a lot weaker, it immediately broke away from the roots of the mother tree of the fog world.
At the same time, the outer shell that it "shed" also became the best tool to resist Bai Yanliang.
A layer of dazzling remnant shell shattered in the howling wind, and then turned back into a human-shaped remnant shell, and rushed towards Bai Yanliang!
Bai Yanliang floated in the air, his expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.
Sure enough... there must be a reason why Zhou Tian can control these remnants.
Bai Yanliang mobilized some vines to fly in the air, like blood-red sickles reaping lives, and wherever they went, the remnants immediately collapsed and disappeared without a trace.
However, they had no self-awareness, nor would they shrink back. They still swarmed in densely and blocked Bai Yanliang's attack.
Zhou Tian no longer paid attention to Bai Yanliang. He just looked at the huge amount of energy that was constantly accumulating and murmured, "It will be done soon."
Bai Yanliang no longer cared about Can Tai's obstruction.
He controlled himself and flew towards the giant insect where Zhou Tian was.
The vines of the mother tree were broken, the remnants disappeared, and the chaotic sounds in the strong wind filled the sky with noise.
Bai Yanliang gradually gained control of everything. As the only self-aware creature in the Mist World, his authority was astonishingly great.
It’s like a cave full of treasures. Humans are kept out of the cave, but Bai Yanliang… was born inside the cave.
He had easy access to these treasures.
"Zhou Tian!"
After approaching the giant insect, Bai Yanliang shouted.
Zhou Tian ignored him and continued to frantically order all the remnants to speed up the consumption of the world's power. Seeing Zhou Tian's indifference, Bai Yanliang stopped talking nonsense.
He closed his eyes and his consciousness quickly swept through every corner of Ye City.
This feeling is no different from that of the Creator.
He is searching.
After the fight with Zhou Tian, he was already far away from his previous position, but fortunately, he searched very quickly.
Everyone in the city passed by his "eyes" until... he stopped in front of one person.
Xu Zhifei.
found it.
Xu Zhifei said that she was also a creature from the Mist World, and was the second truly living creature from the Mist World created by Meng Zhen using his own memories.
However, Bai Yanliang did not feel that Xu Zhifei had the ability to mobilize the power of the fog world.
It seems that Xu Zhifei wants to be more "humanized".
However, Bai Yanliang was not trying to explore this question at the moment. His real purpose in looking for Xu Zhifei was...
"Give me the part of memory hidden in your body."
Bai Yanliang's voice appeared in Xu Zhifei's mind.
She was standing by the railing by the river, her dress fluttering in the howling wind.
No more questions asked, and no more rejection.
Xu Zhifei nodded quietly and closed his eyes.
A grayish-white ball of light flew out from her chest, and soared into the air towards Bai Yanliang.
Finally, Zhou Tian seemed to sense the crisis.
He turned around in astonishment and looked at Bai Yanliang: "What is that?"
Bai Yanliang held the ball of light in his hand and looked directly at the face on the back of the giant insect:
"All the information tells me that Bai Yanren is the first conscious being in the Mist World."
"I am the backup separated by Bai Yanren. I can barely be considered the second conscious being in the Mist Realm."
"Xu Zhifei, it's the third one, but you don't seem to know what's still stored in her body."
Bai Yanliang's voice rang clearly in Zhou Tian's mind.
"Until just now, I finally understood why you, who are not a creature from the Mist Realm, can mobilize the Remnant Metamorphosis. In fact, your authority is greater than mine. I can't even stop the Remnant Metamorphosis from moving..."
"Because the first self-aware being in the real Mist Realm is Meng Zhen."
"Am I right, Meng Zhen?" Bai Yanliang shouted at the giant insect that was still gnawing at the power of the world.
Zhou Tian's pupils shrank and he fell silent.
"Bai Yanren left the Mist Realm, and Wu Ji was born, but what about Meng Zhen? What was her ending? I have always been curious."
Bai Yanliang's voice was like a huge wave hitting Zhou Tian's defenses: "I have a guess, maybe... your first experimental subject is not Bai Yanren, but Meng Zhen, or more precisely, Meng Zhen and her child."
"You didn't know what would happen if humans fell into the fog world, so you used two samples. One was an adult, Meng Zhen, who had self-awareness. The other was a fetus that was still in Meng Zhen's womb and had not yet formed consciousness."
Bai Yanliang's voice finally became a little cold for the first time:
"Let me guess, are you relying on Meng Zhen to command these remnants, or... that baby?"
