“So annoying…”

Yun Yao waved her hand to disperse the smoke before her while traveling alone through the chaos.

At this moment the thick smoke was dissipating, yet Yun Yao’s expression grew increasingly grim.

Because she hadn’t seen Tiantian among the crowd.

She wasn’t quite sure which faction Tiantian was working for now. After all, the two “Heavenly Level Moments” had scrambled almost all the factions. Chu Tianqiu had also mentioned that Tiantian was in the Earth-Dragon game, but she ultimately stayed there, her life or death still unknown.

But she had clearly just seen Doctor Zhao and Han Yimo—how could Tiantian not have come out?

“Foolish child… where are you…”

Yun Yao walked forward with furrowed brows. Attackers constantly appeared beside her, but when these attackers approached Yun Yao, they either tripped, had their weapons slip from their hands, or worse—their wrists would shake and accidentally injure people beside them.

Yun Yao passed through the chaos calmly, her eyes completely ignoring the numerous enemies around her, merely searching the crowd for Tiantian’s figure.

Looking at everyone on the scene, only Yun Yao hadn’t had even a single hair touched despite explosions everywhere and enemies on all sides.

She could see Doctor Zhao and Han Yimo here, and could even see Zheng Yingxiong, but aside from that, there seemed to be no other figures related to Qi Xia.

She cautiously realized she might have come to the wrong place. If Qi Xia wasn’t here, then there was a high probability Tiantian wouldn’t appear either.

Yun Yao felt the smoke before her seemed to have thinned. She waved her hand—indeed, the visibility was much better than before.

“Seems to be Zhong Zhen’s ‘Thick Smoke’…” Yun Yao said with a frown. “Did he come too?”

After walking forward two more steps, Yun Yao’s eyes vaguely saw Baihu ahead. It seemed she had gotten infinitely close to the central area despite her lost sense of direction.

The situation seemed somewhat strange…

The numerous “Participants” fighting nearby also seemed to have discovered something. Everyone slowly stopped their movements and looked up toward Baihu’s direction with shocked expressions.

Baihu reached out to shake off the numerous “Puppets” before him, managing to distinguish directions in the gradually dispersing smoke.

He looked around at the gradually clearing view and found the “Puppets” were no longer under control, and the person who had activated the “Puppets” had long since vanished without a trace.

Those who had been attacking him remotely in the smoke had now retreated to very distant places. With the smoke dispersed, only a tall woman remained before him.

“Absurd…”

Baihu suddenly raised his hand. A fierce wind whipped up around him, blowing away all the remaining smoke.

He stared at Yun Yao and said hoarsely, “I’ll use you to make an example…”

But before he could act, he discovered that almost everyone present was looking up behind him. A sense of unease began spreading in his heart.

Baihu turned around somewhat stiffly and slowly raised his head to look behind him. Then his entire body froze in place as if electrocuted.

The open space behind him where the giant bell and display screen should have stood was now completely empty.

Never mind the giant bell and display screen—he couldn’t even see any fragments.

This small plaza was as if the giant bell and display screen had never existed.

“Wha…” Baihu’s lips trembled slightly, feeling the world spin in an instant.

What on earth was going on?

Such a massive structure had been destroyed, not only leaving no wreckage behind, but he hadn’t even heard any sound…?

Now his brain was in complete chaos, with only one thought constantly circling—

Everything was finished.

“Too… too audacious…” Baihu’s entire body began trembling slightly. “If those two truly become angry… all the ‘Participants’ will be finished…”

But no one in the plaza made any movement. After all, after Baihu dispersed the smoke, they discovered they really hadn’t seen wrong.

The giant bell and display screen were gone.

The “Extreme Path” members discovered they seemed to have completed their mission in the chaos. The “Supporters” discovered they seemed to have botched their mission in the fog.

Everyone stopped their movements, at a loss. The plaza was terrifyingly quiet.

“Finished… everything is finished…” Baihu muttered to himself. “I knew something was wrong with everyone coming back… this definitely isn’t right!!”

In the overcrowded plaza, now only Baihu’s roar remained.

“No… not right…” Baihu trembled as he lowered his head, reaching up to grab his disheveled hair. “I must have gone mad… I’ve waited too long… I’ve gone mad… the giant bell is still there… it’s just that I’ve gone mad…”

Yan Zhichun reached up to smooth her hair, feeling the situation seemed somewhat difficult to grasp.

After all, she knew what squad she had sent out. The ability most suitable for destroying the giant bell and display screen in this squad was called “Disintegration.” Theoretically, if the giant bell and display screen were truly destroyed, there should be fragments scattered on the ground.

But now there weren’t any fragments. The giant bell and display screen had vanished as if into thin air.

Yan Zhichun narrowed her eyes to look toward the giant bell’s direction. Xiao Xiao, Jin Yuanxun, and Lin Qin stood there, but Doctor Zhao had already disappeared without a trace.

She slowly lowered her head and began contemplating the current situation. As the “Extreme Path King,” she also had to give orders based on battlefield conditions while knowing nothing about the intelligence.

This order would concern the survival of the entire “Extreme Path.”

Doctor Zhao was absent, the giant bell had vanished, but Xiao Xiao and Lin Qin’s expressions in the distance weren’t panicked.

“No…” Yan Zhichun keenly discovered a strange situation.

Not only were they not panicked by Doctor Zhao’s disappearance, they also weren’t joyful about the giant bell’s disappearance. This situation could only mean one thing—the mission hadn’t failed, but it also hadn’t been completed.

So the mission was still in progress.

Disappeared…?

Yan Zhichun unconsciously imitated Baiyang’s gesture of touching her chin. A flash of inspiration crossed her mind—she felt one person could connect everything together.

After all, the massive voice from the sky had just mentioned that all “Human Level Zodiacs” could leave their posts.

He had come. He had made the giant bell disappear.

But since “disappearance” was only a smokescreen, he had to “conceal” Doctor Zhao as well to carry out long-term destruction, so… they still needed a bit more time now.

“Indeed, every single thing we’ve done… will produce ‘Causality’ at the most critical moments…” Yan Zhichun murmured.

“And ‘Karma,'” Jiang Ruoxue quietly reminded from the side.

“‘Karma’…” Yan Zhichun nodded. “Our results are developing in a good direction… so does that mean we’re accumulating massive ‘Good Karma’?”

“According to Auntie Tong’s explanation, we can only say that each of us believes we’re accumulating ‘Good Karma.'”

Yan Zhichun took a deep breath and said to Zhoumo behind her, “Use ‘Sound Transmission’ to reach as many survivors as possible. The mission is about to be completed. Everyone stake your lives to attack Baihu.”

“‘About to’ be completed?” Zhoumo was startled, but still immediately lowered her head and began rapidly transmitting messages separately.
