Faint, glowing words appeared in the Void:
"The Old Gods have withdrawn."
Withdrawn?
Relief stirred in Xu Yuan's heart, but he suddenly frowned.
If he were merely an Immortal Species, he might have accepted that message.
But he had encountered too many games and seen countless Prompt Talismans. He had long since made a habit of thinking about what a message meant while reading it. Something about this sentence is wrong.
Objectively speaking, my Whisper ability is the Competition.
Prompt Talismans were generally a support power for the Competition, marking items, explaining conditions, and recording battles.
Just as Honor Among Thieves had a support power called Wind Observation, which could reveal what treasures an enemy had in their pockets.
But—
All my competitions have been cut off.
I've also left the Three Realms. I'm on Earth, and I'm not in any battle.
So why am I getting a prompt like this?
In other words—
Even if I saw the Old Gods withdraw with my own eyes, I couldn't immediately let my guard down.
Who knows whether they've really withdrawn or are only pretending?
So...
This line of the Prompt Talisman...
"Hey, did you give me a prompt?"
Xu Yuan asked.
The phantom Divine Temple suddenly unfolded. The Paper Strip flew out and stared curiously at the line reading "The Old Gods have withdrawn" in the Void, circling it several times. "That isn't our Prompt Talisman. Have you got something going on outside?"
the Paper Strip said.
"..." Xu Yuan had no answer.
But the prompt changed again, revealing new text:
"The Old Gods have fallen back into slumber. Everything has returned to normal."
"The battle has ended."
There was even a prompt like that!
Which of the Nine Old Gods has this Whisper ability?
Xu Yuan remained seated.
Several breaths
