The method on the Paper Person Masks seemed tailor-made for Gao Ming. Everything he had experienced matched every step of it.
As the three masks finally faded away, Gao Ming faintly heard a voice. It seemed to come from somewhere far away, yet also seemed to echo inside his heart—the thing inside the Fate Giant Tree had already arrived.
Bang!
The rotting offering table suddenly snapped apart. The densely packed wormholes contained no insect corpses, only Black-and-White Talismans twisted into strips.
These talismans resembled the ones Lu Zang used. They all carried a faint trace of life, and after delivering their final hint to Gao Ming, everything here was destroyed by some unknown force.
"It's here?"
When Gao Ming saw the old woman being brutalized by Lu Zang, he had flown into a rage and used the power of the Deep World. That had allowed something inside the Fate Giant Tree to pinpoint his location. It seemed to have entered this Mortal World Leaf as well.
No one knew what that thing was. Even the makers of the Paper Person Masks did not know. They had only given Gao Ming one crucial piece of information: it was here. Before seeing the information revealed by the Paper Person Masks, Gao Ming probably would have considered hiding first, entering other Mortal World Leaves to wreak havoc. But now that he knew how to kill the Fate Giant Tree, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist. He had a new idea.
"The Deep World doesn't know enough about the Fate Giant Tree. It hasn't even figured out how the tree attacks. Perhaps I can use myself to test it and learn something about fate. This is a rare opportunity for the Deep World."
