Yog Worm Baby, having been exposed by Tang Qi for not actually knowing vast amounts of hidden knowledge, immediately went into shutdown mode. It planned to play dead and ignore that hateful human.
Meanwhile, Tang Qi held the Non-existent Box of the Future and fell into thought.
Clearly, this box was a precious divine artifact.
Besides representing an opportunity to glimpse the future, it was also a fragment of Time Divinity.
Even a Powerful Deity would be tempted to possess it.
But there was a problem: the box was difficult to use.
"As long as the Yog Worm Baby sealed inside isn't dead, it's merely a Non-existent Box—and one that starts swearing at the slightest disagreement."
"Because of the Time Loop, the Yog Worm cannot be killed, much less die of old age."
"This has fallen into another dead cycle. It seems to have completely lost its value."
Tang Qi did not continue shaking the box. It could make the worm uncomfortable, but it was nowhere near enough to harm it.
The Information Fragments still being analyzed in his mind confirmed his guess.
"The Yog Worm Baby imprisoned within the box has its lifespan connected to time. In a sense, that means it is a true Immortal Species."
"The only thing capable of killing it is the device left within the box by the Ancient God of Time. It may kill it, or it may not... To confirm its condition, the box must be opened. But because of the Time Loop, no one can open it unless the Yog Worm Baby dies..."
"Too convoluted. I can only give up for now."
As he spoke the last sentence, Tang Qi's eyes flickered.
Inside the box, the Yog Worm still said nothing. Only a burst of crude, arrogant laughter came through.
