The surveillance video is fake; it's an illusion created by Fan Daoyi using the Azure Dragon's power.
Although he could allow Xuan Miao to directly alter everyone's perceptions, after communicating with Azure Dragon, he no longer trusted them. Or rather, he no longer trusted the Guixu he had created.
He transformed into a bird, skimmed over the eaves, and flew towards a deserted place.
He recalled his two entries into Guixu: one during the college entrance examination, and the other by accident. Now, reflecting on the college entrance examination, he realized that his arrival was clearly known to everyone, and they used this to achieve their goals before driving him away.
As for the second unexpected event, the Flower Tender was surprised by his arrival; she had never expected Fan Daoyi to appear.
Therefore, if this failed attempt at death was not accidental, he could not have entered through those common entrances.
He kept flying higher and higher, transforming from a sparrow into a swallow, from a swallow into an eagle, and then from an eagle into a vulture, until he reached the highest point of the snow mountain and transformed back into Fan Daoyi.
The snow-capped terrain and cold weather of the mountain are obstacles for humans to reach the summit. As the world's highest peak, even if there is an unusually short period of time, no one will be able to reach it.
Before entering, several preparations need to be made.
Humans now possess the ability to potentially reach certain destinations quickly.
He released some Origin Source pulls, found several decent abilities, and combined them to form a shield.
This jamming device covers the entire snow-capped mountain area; anything that enters it—whether it's an ability, a signal, or machinery—will malfunction. The only way for them to climb the mountain is through primitive methods.
Climbing.
Of course, it's possible that someone made a wish at Guixu to enhance their physical abilities and gain extensive experience in extreme sports, which would allow them to climb mountains at an extraordinary speed.
So he used the Azure Dragon's illusion technique again. He constructed a false dream that made it difficult for people to distinguish between reality and illusion.
I have to say, this ability is really useful.
Similarly, Fan Daoyi kindly set a limit within it. When a person's body temperature is about to drop, they will be forcibly removed from the Illusion Realm.
This way, you won't kill anyone, and you can also gain fear points from those who survived the ordeal.
After finishing these tasks, Fan Daoyi summoned some more abilities. He Fusion, glanced casually at the white snow-covered ground, and tossed the Fusion abilities aside.
With Fan Daoyi's Origin Source being stable, this ability wouldn't cause too much fluctuation. A white door rose from the ground, and a new Guixu instance was born so casually.
There's no plot, no monsters, just an ordinary entrance.
Fan Daoyi stepped into the entrance, and his figure disappeared from the top of the snow-capped mountain.
But after he disappeared, an unknown ripple instantly spread outward from the bottom of this ordinary door.
At this moment, Azure Dragon, who was drinking tea, glanced at Qian Heaven across from him, sighed slightly, put down his cup, and made a phone call right in front of him.
"Seal off all Guixu. Forbidden for anyone to approach. Guardians, do not be curious, do not look."
After giving the notification, he looked at Qian Heaven again. "They're still in a hurry to find Fan Daoyi, and you have the leisure to sit here and drink tea?"
"Yes." Qian Heaven poured tea for Azure Dragon. He wasn't curious about Azure Dragon's words just now, his expression suggesting that the matter was unrelated to him, and he spoke in a completely irrelevant manner, "I want to talk to you about the Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies."
Azure Dragon looked troubled as he listened to his words: "Are you still thinking about this? You already possess considerable power. Even if you strive to climb higher and reach the pinnacle of power, when you look up, you'll always find someone above you."
Having received Azure Dragon's answer, Qian Heaven put down his cup and stood up. "Then do you think humanity still has hope?"
This question stumped Azure Dragon. He raised his eyes meaningfully, then lowered his head in frustration. "I can't answer that question, you know, given the current situation. My life has entered its second countdown."
"But that's how he achieves this extraordinary balance." Qian Heaven chuckled. "Tai Chi, that title really suits him, doesn't it?"
Azure Dragon didn't answer, but instead asked, "Will you regret your choice?"
Qian Heaven turned his back and walked towards the door, half-asleep and half-answering, "Choice? That's the same question for you, if you can."
By the way, I hope you can change the tea next time we meet. This tea is too bitter.
Azure Dragon placed his fingers on the rim of the cup, remained silent for a while, then picked up the cup, which had been refilled with tea, and took a small sip.
Only after Qian Heaven left the room did he put the cup back on the table and stand in front of the French windows, gazing into the distance.
"It's too bitter... Yes, it's too bitter. But can my choices be changed because of me?"
As the ripples spread, at the same time, all the entrances to the Guixu turned grayish-white.
The ever-swirling vortex stopped at that moment, and if you looked in from the outside, you could only see an unknown gray-white expanse.
Don't be curious, don't stare.
Meanwhile, Xuan Miao lay quietly on the ground. Its ears twitched slightly, and suddenly it leaped onto the Apothecary's shoulder.
"Get ready, you're about to get a beating," it told them, licking its paws.
As the group of Guixu BOSSes gathered together, the Apothecary's expression subtly shifted.
"Who sped up the process? At this rate, we won't last until the Insect Disaster is over."
The methods Fan Daoyi employed to visit seemed to have exceeded the Apothecary's expectations.
"It's me." A faint, almost inaudible voice rang out, and a little girl, holding a small Puppet, sat obediently in a chair. "This means..."
"■?" The Apothecary composed himself. "I understand."
The Flower Tender frowned. "He must be very angry. Perhaps we should take some precautions, or he might die."
The bosses remained silent, agreeing with the Flower Tender's words.
After all, if he could still maintain a peaceful relationship with them after taking such measures, then something would really be wrong.
What is that? The calm before the storm.
"I can't die, at least not now." The Sculptor stood up. "For that matter, I absolutely cannot die now."
Xuan Miao interrupted them, "He's already at the Changgui's place. If we don't hurry, we might miss our chance."
The Puppet lightly jumped off the chair and opened the crimson door. "I will hold off Lord Dao Yi for now. You'd better give your testimonies correctly."
For..."
The Puppet didn't know what to say for a moment, so she stopped herself and left through the door.
The Vase Woman pondered alone for a long time before finally asking, "When will this deception end?"
Xuan Miao froze on the Apothecary's shoulder. It jumped onto the table, raised its tail, walked around once, and finally curled up its tail and sat down.
"Balance, deception is for the sake of balance."
