Ring Mountains.
After listening to Little Deer's story, Qin Ze frowned.
His younger self saved Lu Tongtong when she was a child.
It sounds unbelievable, but this is Little Deer's true story.
What a real-life version of Your Name.
"But in my memory, I have never been to your hometown."
This was precisely what Qin Ze found utterly perplexing.
Little Deer also fell silent; she was confused about the situation as well.
The Dharma King said in a deep voice over the Local Area Network, "Perhaps before you traveled through time, we in this world visited Little Deer's house?"
Brother Devour said, "This isn't a question of whether you've been there or not; the timelines simply don't match."
When Little Deer was four or five years old, you were also four or five years old.
"Where was the young you back then?"
It has to be said that Brother Devour was quite clever, pointing out the crux of the problem in just one sentence.
Transcending time, Qin Ze immediately thought of Hundred Eyes.
This thing is the embodiment of time itself, and only it has the power to do this.
" Hundred Eyes is plotting against me? But what kind of plot is it to send me to save the Little Deer?"
Qin Ze was completely baffled.
Little Deer suddenly spoke up, "It's also possible that the Otherworld made a mistake; my memories of that time are too vague."
"I'll ask my family later, then we'll know if that person was you."
Qin Ze nodded upon hearing this.
Just as a wild goose leaves its mark, if the young Qin Ze truly existed, he would inevitably have left his traces.
"It's getting late, I'll take you back to the city first."
Qin Ze quickly led the Little Deer down the mountain back to Snow City, and they also exchanged contact information using communication cards.
After parting ways downstairs at the hotel, Qin Ze went alone to the Circus's location.
As the Little Deer watched Qin Ze's retreating figure, it involuntarily activated its ability.
"This..."
The Little Deer opened its beautiful eyes wide, then closed them again, blood trickling from the corner of its eye.
Lu Tongtong was unable to calm down for a long time.
In the instant she activated her ability, instead of Deduction Qin Ze's next move, she saw a soul covered in wounds and stitches.
Qin Ze's feet crunched on the thick snow.
His thoughts wandered for a while, and he temporarily put that encounter across time and space out of his mind.
Next time I see Hundred Eyes, I'll have to have a good talk with him.
Qin Ze suspected that this matter was most likely related to that bastard.
"No matter what that old bastard of a guild leader is planning, the Hall of Stars will be opened, and a fierce battle is inevitable."
"After rescuing Brother Yuanzi, I need to go check out the Otherworld No. Zero."
"Although we haven't collected all five Demigod beast Soul Orb yet, we can try to rescue Mom and Dad."
"And there's something else, and it's crucially important: the Abyss beast tide is now capable of anchoring itself towards the Human Race world. This calamity for Human Race is already on its way, but we don't know exactly when it will arrive..."
Qin Ze quickly reviewed the upcoming plans in his mind; every single one of them was of utmost importance.
The most urgent task is to resolve the issues concerning Brother Yuanzi and the Hall of Stars.
"What's wrong? Where are we now?"
The Miss Sword Case behind Qin Ze suddenly made a muffled sound, as if she had just woken up, interrupting his thoughts.
Qin Ze then remembered the existence of Miss Sword Case.
After entering the Breakthrough Otherworld, she became Silent Poppy.
Because Qin Ze's attention was entirely focused on Brother Yuanzi, he forgot about his good friend.
"We've emerged from that Otherworld; this is Snow City."
Miss Sword Case spoke up, "I don't know why, but I fell asleep. What's it like inside that Otherworld?"
Qin Ze roughly knew the reason why Miss Sword Case had been offline for a short time.
Unlike the Hunt Otherworld experienced before, the Breakthrough Otherworld is a personal reward Otherworld where all other intelligent beings are isolated except for the person experiencing it.
Magician: "What's going on? Do we lack wisdom?"
Qin Ze said helplessly, "It's best if we both know the truth about these things. Don't shout it out; it's embarrassing."
Miss Sword Case only felt regret and pity, because apart from the Otherworld No. Zero, she had never seen what other Otherworld looked like.
Qin Ze suddenly looked up at the outside of the city, feeling an inexplicable excitement. Even his Source of God was uncontrollably activated, but Qin Ze quickly suppressed it.
What happened?
In that instant, he resonated with something outside the city.
The resonance appeared and ended abruptly, and he was unable to pinpoint the other party's location.
A moment later, Qin Ze returned to the camp, Big Black wagged its tail and pounced on him.
Qin Ze's departure for a day terrified it; it couldn't even sleep well and almost thought Qin Ze was gone forever.
Seeing living people again made it extremely happy.
Qin Ze patted the dog's head dismissively. "Alright, go play somewhere else."
Satisfied, Black Treasure returned to his special little bed in the corner, sprawled out, and was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
After going upstairs, Miss Sword Case immediately flew to the window and began her artistic creation, while Qin Ze was trying to contact the Tree Keeper.
The kind-hearted Tree Keeper gave Qin Ze his communication card, but it was definitely impossible to contact him that way.
After thinking it over, Qin Ze looked at the key on his chest.
After leaving the Breakthrough Otherworld, he felt his connection with the world deepen. He could clearly perceive the existence of the World Will, instead of the vague feeling he had before.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze activated the key, muttering to himself, "Old Tree Guardian, Old Tree Guardian, Old Tree Guardian..."
A moment later, the voice of the old man guarding the tree faintly rang in Qin Ze's ears.
"You've successfully broken through; you truly deserve to be called the Chosen One of the world."
Qin Ze cut to the chase. "I need to open the Hall of Stars now. Tell me the specific method."
The Tree Keeper replied, "First, we will use the power of the World Will to search for the location of the Hall of Stars."
"You are the Chosen One; only you can do this."
"Under the power of the World Will, nothing in the world can hide."
"And all you need to do is inject the Source of the World into the key to borrow the power of the world."
Qin Ze glanced at his balance; he still had nearly 500 points left.
Aside from occasionally providing a Shelter Space for the Meditation Group's members, he hardly ever used it.
In addition, he receives a daily allowance, so he doesn't lack Source of the World much now.
Qin Ze then asked, "And then?"
The Tree Keeper, "Then comes the most crucial step: opening the Hall of Stars."
" The Hall of Stars is a divine artifact, and all divine artifacts possess a spirit."
"It selected Yao Yuan, and only Yao Yuan Enough to Use it. In other words, under normal circumstances, only Yao Yuan can open it."
"But Yao Yuan's specific situation is currently a mystery; we must find out from the outside."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze couldn't help but look at the indestructible Miss Sword Case. Trying to fight against a divine artifact with human strength was indeed quite difficult.
Putting everything else aside, with Miss Sword Case standing there motionless, it's impossible to harm her.
The Tree Keeper continued, "For this part, all the World Hunt Participant must be present."
" Hunter are individuals with great fortune, and they are also protected by the World Will."
"Only by uniting and with the power of the world at large can you have a chance to forcefully open the Hall of Stars from the outside."
