“Heavenly-Dog…” Yan Zhichun suppressed her temper, gritting her teeth as she spoke, “I don’t want to hear you praise this so-called ‘masterpiece’ anymore.”

“Oh…” Heavenly-Dog paused, “Is it because I’m not explaining it well enough… or…”

“Just say it directly… What exactly do you want me to activate for this ‘Heavenly-Level Moment’?” Yan Zhichun continued, “No… it’s Qi Xia, what exactly does he want me to activate?”

…

Qi Xia supported his forehead with his hand, saying coldly: “Is she crazy enough?”

…

“Your current state…” Heavenly-Dog said somewhat hesitantly, “You’re not quite ready to activate a ‘Heavenly-Level Moment’… so I still need to…”

“I advise you to know when to stop.” Yan Zhichun said with a cold expression, “The only reason I brought people here with you and have patiently listened until now is not because I have any trust in you, but because of my trust in Baiyang. If you continue, I may very well refuse to cooperate.”

Watching Yan Zhichun’s calm demeanor, Heavenly-Dog murmured: “Still… still not enough…”

Yan Zhichun frowned slightly: “What’s still not enough?”

Heavenly-Dog swallowed hard, beginning to rapidly analyze the current situation. Qi Xia clearly couldn’t hear anything, yet he seemed to be able to perceive everything happening here.

The current Yan Zhichun was far too rational. How could a ‘Heavenly-Level Moment’ belonging to her be activated? If her rationality couldn’t be driven to madness, then it could only be made as turbulent as possible. Otherwise, if it relied solely on ‘conviction’ for support… that would be somewhat…

Taking this opportunity, Earth-Dog stepped forward, interrupting his train of thought and asking softly: “Heavenly-Dog, approximately when did this ‘sun’ switch to being controlled by the owner of ‘Trail Seeker’?”

Heavenly-Dog was irritated and distracted, seemingly unwilling to answer this question at the moment. But seeing Earth-Dog’s murderous gaze, he still paused and said: “About a year or so… or maybe over two years ago? I don’t remember very clearly, after all, I wasn’t the one handling this matter—it was Heavenly-Snake who was responsible.”

Hearing the conversation between Heavenly-Dog and Earth-Dog, Yan Zhichun also seemed to think of something and turned to look at Jiang Ruoxue.

“Mm…” Jiang Ruoxue thought for a moment, “Now that I think about it carefully… it should also be… over a year ago…?”

Yan Zhichun paused… Under normal circumstances, the ‘Land of the End’ rarely naturally produces two identical ‘Echoes’, unless the owner of a certain ‘Echo’ has already lost their consciousness or turned into something else.

From this perspective… that old man must have inherited ‘Trail Seeker’ from the eyeball’s original owner.

So that old man hadn’t always been excavating the ground… but rather this behavior had suddenly started in the past year…

She felt there was some subtle connection between these two matters, but with the intelligence she possessed, it was difficult to deduce the result.

Meanwhile, Heavenly-Dog didn’t want Yan Zhichun to continue being disturbed by these matters, and was anxiously thinking of a solution.

…

Qi Xia: “If she’s crazy enough, execute it. If not crazy enough, find a way to make her turbulent. Your life is already linked to her rationality.”

He paused, then added: “Look at the ‘sun’ beneath your feet. You don’t have much time.”

…

Heavenly-Dog lowered his head and suddenly discovered that the ‘sun’ beneath his feet had already begun to emit a very faint, very faint light.

He felt his scalp tingle instantly at that moment. Day was about to break, Heavenly-Dragon was about to awaken…

At that time, as a ‘Heavenly-Level’ who had actively gouged out all his own eyes… would he really still be able to survive?

“Please… help me out… what exactly are you all afraid of…” Heavenly-Dog turned back and grabbed Yan Zhichun’s hand, “There are so many of you here… could you really be afraid that I’ll harm you?! So many veteran ‘Echo Holders’… plus an uninjured ‘Earth-Level’, and I’m just a ‘Spirit Hearing’…”

“You’ve already heard my voice, I’m not afraid of you.” Yan Zhichun said, “But I’m afraid you’ll harm the lives of everyone in the ‘Land of the End’ at the last moment.”

“Me harm everyone’s lives?! But Heavenly-Dragon is about to wake up!!” Heavenly-Dog shouted, “You said it yourself that this is the last moment, what use would it be for me to harm their lives now?! As soon as Heavenly-Dragon wakes, no one will survive! Moreover… this ‘Heavenly-Level Moment’ isn’t targeting ‘Taoyuan’… When we came in, we didn’t close the door. Don’t you know why that is?”

“What?” Yan Zhichun seemed to have thought of the answer but didn’t quite dare believe it.

“Don’t you understand Qi Xia’s meaning…” Heavenly-Dog somewhat anxiously grabbed Yan Zhichun’s shoulders.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ruoxue slowly frowned and decisively stepped forward to grab Heavenly-Dog’s arm: “Hey… speak properly, don’t keep grabbing at people.”

“I really have no choice left…” Heavenly-Dog said through gritted teeth, “Yan Zhichun, what needs to be done now is very simple… listen to me… you just need to listen to me…”

Yan Zhichun frowned coldly: “I’m listening.”

“That is to inject your ‘Soul Stealing’ into the ‘Energy Storage’, then activate ‘Soul Stealing’ with ‘Trail Seeker’ facing the entire ‘train’… This is the ‘Heavenly-Level Moment’ that belongs uniquely to you…”

Yan Zhichun stared at Heavenly-Dog with wide eyes, only asking after a long while: “But why… do you want me to make them all do the same actions as me?”

“The same actions as you? What nonsense are you talking about…” Heavenly-Dog said trembling, “Of course it’s to use ‘Soul Stealing’ to take away a portion of everyone’s rationality… directly enhancing their mastery of ‘Celestial Techniques’… This way they can fight to the death with Heavenly-Dragon at daybreak… This is the ‘Moment of Chaos’ that only you can successfully activate…!”

“What…” Yan Zhichun was stunned, “A moment of… universal chaos…?”

Lin Qin and Jiang Ruoxue behind Yan Zhichun widened their eyes, while Earth-Dog still stood to the side with an ashen expression.

“This plan is critically important! Yan Zhichun!”

“You, you’re making this up…” Yan Zhichun paused, saying with a shocked expression, “If there really was such an important plan… Baiyang couldn’t possibly not have told me in advance… How could he wait until this critical moment to have a strange ‘Heavenly-Level’ relay it to me? No matter how you think about it, something’s not right.”

“Bai…” Heavenly-Dog pulled at Yan Zhichun, saying with a terrified expression, “How can you still be so naive… Wake up, Yan Zhichun… The ‘Helmsman’ has long since been replaced by another person! His plan and Bai… In any case, it might be completely different from what you think! But all of our goals are to survive in the end!”

Yan Zhichun was also momentarily stunned. She seemed to have been overlooking a very important issue all along.

The person who had seven years of friendship with her and who would truly consider things for her… was it Qi Xia?

No, it was Baiyang.

And Baiyang was merely one part of Qi Xia.
