Xu Mo’s words came to an abrupt halt.
“Hmm?”
Another twist?
You’ve got a part to play too!?
Looking at the progress that had suddenly increased by one percent, Xu Mo’s expression instantly shifted. He looked at Liu Yun and said politely, “Senior, no rush. Sit down and take your time.”
“Would you like some water? There’s plenty of it around here...”
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yun with immense anticipation.
You’ve been a waste of space for so long, yet I didn’t expect you to pull off something big like this. It better be useful!
Liu Yun’s mind was likely unable to process Xu Mo’s words at the moment. She clutched her head, her fingers digging deep into her hair. This top-tier Prophet had never shown such a distorted expression before.
It was as if something frantic was pushing its way out of her brain.
The entire city was currently in chaos. Under the shroud of the array, more and more people were undergoing aberration. Screams, roars, and explosions merged into a single cacophony.
But Liu Yun seemed completely deaf to it all. She lived in her own world, seemingly trapped in some kind of hallucination or perhaps awakening a flood of memories.
“You... aren’t you people from the Masked Hermit Society?” she rasped. “Did you not see what was wrong?”
“Aren’t you here to deal with the Evil God directly and contain its corpse!?”
In the air, Liang Shuguang, who was imprisoned in the tree cage, suddenly whipped his head around.
For the first time, a look of genuine panic appeared on that face that was always calm and smiling.
He looked toward Liu Yun through the gaps in the tree cage and suddenly roared, “Don’t overthink it! Do not recall things you shouldn’t!”
His voice had never sounded like this before, carrying an urgency that was completely uncharacteristic of his usual personality.
But would those words be useful?
When someone’s mind is in chaos, telling them “don’t think about it” is practically the same as telling them to “hurry up and keep thinking.”
Liu Yun, naturally, couldn’t listen. She clutched her head as her entire aura began to fluctuate violently.
She suddenly looked up, the confusion and hesitation in her eyes replaced by clarity, like waking from a long dream. Her voice carried a tone that was almost pleading as she spoke to Bai Feifei.
“The disaster of Dawn back then—he was the one who carried it alone in the end!”
“Liang Shuguang is currently enduring the corruption and tearing of an Evil God of the Old Days!”
Xu Mo’s pupils suddenly constricted.
Whether it was the Bai Feifei in his mind or Xu Mo himself, both were stunned by her words.
There’s another matter involving an Evil God of the Old Days?!

Seeing the storyline progress nearing its end, Xu Mo felt an exceptionally strong surge of excitement erupt from the depths of his soul.
Good, good, good... So that’s how it is.
It seems Liu Yun’s memory, or rather her spirit, always had some kind of defect that made her forget certain key information. Now, under intense stimulation, she’s remembered it?
I was wondering why you were always slacking and spacing out; you were waiting for me here. This is a big one.
“Shut up!” Liang Shuguang’s voice was nearly a roar. He tried to charge out of the tree cage, but his useless legs only caused him to tumble out of his wheelchair, falling into the cage with his hair disheveled.
Once Liu Yun said those words, it was like a certain irreversible switch had been flipped.
Liu Yun’s entire being suddenly erupted with a surge of completely uncontrolled energy. This Prophet, who had been coasting through the entire scene, finally had her power explode.
The powerful energy fluctuations caused the light screen overhead to ripple, and her roar, accompanied by this explosive power, ensured that her words were heard throughout the entire city.
Everyone who still retained a shred of sanity felt their spirits jolt.
Kong Man and Qiu Jing’s battle was continuously escalating. Amidst the collision of water and wood, that roar funneled directly into her ears.
“Huh?!” She flinched, suddenly turning her head to stare wide-eyed in Liu Yun’s direction.
What did I just hear?!
Qiu Jing’s movements as he traded blows with Kong Man also paused. Even though his mind was already unstable, he still instinctively looked back after hearing Liu Yun’s words.
On the edge of the North District, Xie Jin was carrying his mechanical arm, leading Xie Xuan as they retreated toward a safer peripheral position.
He hadn’t injected any drugs, but even with his strength as an Edgerunner, he appeared quite disheveled.
The water vapor constantly rising in the air caused it to rain incessantly within the Inner City of Dawn. His mechanical arm was currently soaked to the point of sparking and short-circuiting.
“Dammit!” he cursed, feeling completely speechless. “This place, Dawn City, is truly cursed!”
They had originally come only for technical aid; they hadn’t expected to encounter so many things in just a few days.
They were just one step away from seeing an actual ghost!
Just as he was muttering to himself, he heard Liu Yun’s roar.
He was instantly struck as if by lightning, freezing for several seconds before exchanging a look with Xie Xuan beside him.
“Alright, now we’ve truly seen a ghost.”
“Goddammit... are Evil Gods of the Old Days being sold wholesale now?!”
Wan Qianhong, who was suspended in mid-air, also heard those words. Her spirit, which had been nearing its limit, suddenly jolted.
Normally, when Xu Mo and Bai Feifei logged in, it lasted five to seven minutes. Although Wan Qianhong was an Edgerunner, her transformation time had long since exceeded that limit.
She slowly turned her head, looking in shock at her teacher, who was beginning to turn frantic.
That’s right... thirty years ago, how exactly was that disaster finally quelled?!
As for Liu Yun herself, once those words were spoken, she could no longer stop.
Her ability was stronger than Qiu Jing’s, but her current state was transforming into something even more terrifying than his. It looked as if she were about to undergo aberration simply because of a single sentence!
“Dawn City...” She began to lose her sanity rapidly, her voice turning raspy and desolate. “Dawn City should have perished long ago. It perished long ago!”
As her voice fell, she waved her hand.
A golden energy phantom erupted from her hand. It wasn’t even a Word Soul, but simply an unstable release of her own power.
That giant palm didn’t strike anyone; instead, it aimlessly slammed into the towering tree Qiu Jing had summoned to prop up the light screen!
Boom!!!
The moment the energy hit, the tree trunk snapped in the middle, letting out a tooth-gritting creak as it began to tilt to one side.
The hundred-meter-tall giant tree swayed, looking like a heavenly pillar collapsing!
Qiu Jing, who was struggling on the verge of semi-aberration, already had blood-red eyes, but he was so startled by Liu Yun’s action that his gaze cleared up slightly.
Holy crap, what just happened?
Even Kong Man, a fellow Edgerunner nearby, leaned back slightly with a serious expression.
Above the level of Edgerunners, there were differences in strength even within the same realm, but this difference was truly a bit too large.
Just why hasn’t this woman attained Sainthood yet...
As for Liu Yun, after snapping the tree, she went completely mad. Her eyes had turned entirely ghastly green, and her hair strands were fluttering wildly.
She suddenly spun around and looked at the “Bai Feifei” who had been standing there all along.
Then, she struck a palm toward Xu Mo!
