Ren Tao beat his wings, and a vast cloud of blood-colored mist spread behind him.
The Wisdom Lightwheel also expanded to span dozens of meters, shining into the blood-colored mist like a bright, clear moon.
The Dragon Blood Illusion Formation appeared, giving rise to vast mountain ranges and dense forests. Every scene, every object looked utterly real.
A small figure raced through the towering mountains.
He was drenched in blood, still gripping the Razor tightly in his hand.
It was Xiao Ji!
The Creation God's expression shifted slightly.
This was the starting point of the time loop, and the moment when Liu Xiang was about to appear.
The scenes of the past seemed carved into his mind. Compared with the seven days Ren Tao had spent trapped in the time loop, the Creation God had relived these events in his heart for countless years.
"Liu Xiang..."
His lips trembled as he uttered the name he cherished most-and feared most. What happened next had haunted his long, endless existence, leaving him forever unable to find peace.
Yet, unexpectedly, he did not see Liu Xiang.
At the time and place where Liu Xiang should have appeared, Xiao Ji stood alone.
"The first leaf is a nightmare, the second is a blessing, the third..."
Xiao Ji dipped the Carving Knife into the powder and carved into his own arm. "Everyone in the village is dead. It was me. I killed them all!"
"You."
The Creation God's mouth twitched, and the scars on his face trembled incessantly. "You dare rewrite history?"
He pointed a finger at Ren Tao. Layer upon layer of destruction and death enveloped him, and that single instant felt like countless cycles of reincarnation.
A single thought from the Creation God held the power to command the laws of the world.
