"This thing... are you sure that's Little Cocoon?"
Looking at the scene projected by the jade disc, Bai Zhi wore a strange expression.
"That was what she looked like before. Naturally, she doesn't look like that now."
Wuyan glanced up at him, his expression cold and indifferent.
"This isn't the Law of Causality. It's a consequence of the cognitive distortion caused by [The End]."
"Cognition..."
Bai Zhi rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.
"That's right. You were born from the fusion of The End's consciousness and the Human Emperor's consciousness. The two have long since become inseparable, or rather, each consciousness has become mixed with part of the other.

Wuyan looked up at him.
"Or are you planning to selflessly sacrifice yourself alone
