The False Chosen God

Chapter 5: Divine Grain from Heaven

In the main hall of Azure Cloud Sect, morning light filtered through the carved window lattices, casting dappled shadows on the blue stone floor. Su Tianxing knelt on a meditation cushion, hands resting flat on his knees, quietly listening to Sect Master Qingyunzi's arrangements.

"Tianxing, today's ceremony is of extraordinary importance," Qingyunzi paced slowly, his voice carrying barely concealed excitement. "Sect masters and elders from all major sects will come to witness this—it's a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for our Azure Cloud Sect."

Su Tianxing nodded, but unease surged in his heart. Last night's conversation with Senior Sister Liu had filled him with doubts about the upcoming ceremony. Those metal fragments, those strange signals, and Lin Mo's warnings all made him feel that this ceremony might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

[Host, please remain calm. Today's ceremony will be an excellent opportunity for you to spread the grace of the Heavenly Dao.]

The system's voice echoed in his mind, gentle yet firm. But Su Tianxing noticed that the system's tone seemed to carry a hint of urgency, which made him feel even more uneasy.

"Sect Master, this disciple has a question," Su Tianxing raised his head, looking at Qingyunzi. "Why hold such a ceremony? The sect has never had such a grand display before."

Qingyunzi stopped pacing, turned to look at Su Tianxing, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes. "Tianxing, you must understand that you are no longer an ordinary disciple. You are the Chosen One, the savior selected by the Heavenly Dao. Such an identity should rightfully be known throughout the entire cultivation world."

"But..." Su Tianxing hesitated, "this disciple feels that the path of cultivation should be low-key and restrained. Wouldn't being too ostentatious be inappropriate?"

"Haha!" Qingyunzi laughed heartily. "Tianxing, you're being overly modest! Since the Heavenly Dao has chosen you, it wants you to save all living beings and benefit the masses. If you hide and keep secrets, what about those who need help? What about those people still struggling in suffering?"

These words left Su Tianxing unable to refute. Indeed, if he truly had the ability to help more people, then maintaining a low profile would be a form of selfishness. However, the words of Lin Mo and Senior Sister Liu made him unable to feel completely at ease.

[Host, the Sect Master is absolutely right. Your mission is to save all living beings; you shouldn't delay important matters due to personal concerns.]

The system spoke again, its tone carrying obvious guidance. Su Tianxing took a deep breath and nodded. "This disciple understands."

"Excellent!" Qingyunzi patted Su Tianxing's shoulder with satisfaction. "Now, let's prepare the details of the ceremony."

In the following time, Qingyunzi detailed the ceremony's procedures to Su Tianxing. The entire ceremony would be held at Azure Cloud Sect's martial arts arena, with representatives from major sects seated around to observe. Su Tianxing would need to demonstrate the miraculous power granted by the Heavenly Dao before everyone's eyes, making divine grain descend from the sky to prove the existence and grace of the Heavenly Dao.

"Remember, Tianxing," Qingyunzi's voice became serious, "this ceremony not only concerns our Azure Cloud Sect's reputation but also the future of the entire cultivation world. If you can successfully demonstrate the Heavenly Dao's miracles, then all sects will recognize the greatness of the Heavenly Dao and unite to work together for saving all living beings."

Su Tianxing nodded, but the doubts in his heart grew heavier. The Sect Master's words sounded very reasonable, but why did he always feel something was wrong?

Time quickly reached noon. A high platform had been erected in Azure Cloud Sect's martial arts arena, with various ceremonial items placed around it. Representatives from major sects arrived one after another, their faces showing curiosity and anticipation.

Su Tianxing stood backstage, observing the situation outside through gaps in the curtain. He saw many familiar faces and some strangers. These strangers dressed and behaved peculiarly; they seemed very interested in everything around them, constantly observing and recording something.

"Junior Brother, are you nervous?" Senior Sister Liu's voice came from behind.

Su Tianxing turned around to see Senior Sister Liu standing not far away, her face showing concern. "Senior Sister, you came too."

"Of course I had to come." Senior Sister Liu walked to Su Tianxing's side and lowered her voice. "Junior Brother, I just observed the situation outside and discovered some strange things."

"What things?"

"Those strangers," Senior Sister Liu pointed outside, "their aura is very strange, not like the spiritual energy fluctuations cultivators should have. Moreover, I noticed they all carry some peculiar devices that don't look like traditional magical artifacts."

Su Tianxing's heart sank. Senior Sister Liu's observation confirmed his worries. "Senior Sister, what do you think they are?"

"I'm not certain," Senior Sister Liu shook her head, "but Junior Brother, I think you should be careful. If there really is something wrong, don't force yourself."

Just then, bell sounds came from outside—the ceremony was about to begin.

"Tianxing, it's your turn!" Qingyunzi's voice came from outside.

Su Tianxing took a deep breath, glanced at Senior Sister Liu, then walked toward the stage.

In the martial arts arena, hundreds of cultivators from major sects sat quietly, their gazes focused on the high platform. Su Tianxing slowly walked onto the platform, feeling everyone's stares, his heart both nervous and anxious.

"Fellow Daoists," Qingyunzi stood at the platform's edge, his voice resonating loudly, "today we gather here to witness a miracle. My Azure Cloud Sect disciple Su Tianxing is the Chosen One selected by the Heavenly Dao, possessing miraculous power granted by the Heavenly Dao. Today, he will demonstrate the Heavenly Dao's grace for everyone, letting you all witness the greatness of the Heavenly Dao with your own eyes!"

Thunderous applause and discussion erupted from below. Su Tianxing stood in the center of the platform, feeling everyone's expectant gazes, the pressure in his heart growing heavier.

[Host, now is the time to display your power. Please activate the Divine Grain from Heaven program.]

The system's voice echoed in his mind, and simultaneously, a new task panel appeared in Su Tianxing's vision:

[Special Task: Divine Grain from Heaven Ceremony]

[Task Description: Demonstrate the Heavenly Dao's miracle before everyone's eyes, making divine grain descend from the sky to prove the existence and grace of the Heavenly Dao]

[Task Reward: Significant system authority upgrade, unlock advanced functions]

[Important Note: This ceremony is of great importance; please ensure successful completion]

Su Tianxing looked at the task panel, complex emotions surging in his heart. This task seemed simple, but he always felt there were secrets hidden behind it.

"I accept the task," Su Tianxing said in his mind.

[Very good, Host. Now please follow the instructions to proceed.]

Following the system's guidance, Su Tianxing began the ceremony. He formed hand seals and chanted the incantations the system had taught him. These incantations sounded ancient and mysterious, but Su Tianxing noticed that some syllables didn't sound like human language.

As he chanted the incantations, Su Tianxing felt the spiritual energy within his body begin to surge. But this time felt different from before—the spiritual energy seemed to carry a strange frequency that made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The audience below held their breath, watching Su Tianxing on the platform. They saw Su Tianxing's body begin to emit a faint golden glow that grew brighter and eventually formed a massive pillar of light shooting straight into the sky.

"Heavens!" someone exclaimed, "It's truly the Heavenly Dao manifesting!"

Su Tianxing felt his consciousness being drawn by something, extending toward the sky. In this state, he could sense changes in the clouds above and feel the flow of various energies in the atmosphere.

[Host, now please activate the divine grain generation program.]

Following the system's command, Su Tianxing felt a powerful force surge from within his body, shooting straight into the sky. The clouds in the sky began to change—the originally white clouds gradually turned golden and began rotating, forming a massive vortex.

"What... what is this?" someone below exclaimed.

The vortex spun faster and faster, the golden light growing brighter. Suddenly, golden particles began falling from the vortex. These particles looked like rice grains made of gold, sparkling in the sunlight.

"Divine grain! It's really divine grain!" the audience shouted excitedly.

Divine grain fell like raindrops from the sky, covering the entire martial arts arena. Each grain of divine grain emitted an enticing fragrance that made people want to taste it.

Su Tianxing maintained the spell, but he noticed some strange details. As these divine grains fell, they seemed to emit weak signals. These signals were very faint—ordinary people couldn't detect them at all—but Su Tianxing could sense them in this special state.

Even stranger, these signals seemed to be transmitting toward a specific direction, as if reporting the situation to something.

[Host, please maintain focus and don't get distracted.]

The system's voice carried a hint of warning, bringing Su Tianxing back to attention. He forced himself not to pay attention to those strange signals and concentrated on maintaining the spell.

The divine grain continued falling for a full quarter-hour, covering the entire martial arts arena with golden divine grain. The audience below was all shocked by this miracle; they knelt down one after another, bowing to Su Tianxing and the vortex in the sky.

"The Heavenly Dao manifests! The Heavenly Dao manifests!" everyone chanted in unison.

Su Tianxing felt everyone's worship and awe, complex emotions surging in his heart. On one hand, he felt proud of being able to create such a miracle; on the other hand, those strange signals filled him with deep unease.

[Task completed. Congratulations, Host, your performance was excellent.]

With the system's voice, the vortex in the sky gradually dissipated, and the divine grain stopped falling. Su Tianxing slowly concluded the technique, and the golden glow on his body gradually disappeared.

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from below. Representatives from major sects were all shocked by this miracle; they came forward one after another, wanting to observe these divine grains more closely.

"Nephew Su, truly remarkable!" A white-haired elder stepped forward, excitedly grasping Su Tianxing's hand. "This old man has cultivated for three hundred years and has never seen such a miracle!"

"Tianxing, you are truly the pride of our Azure Cloud Sect!" Qingyunzi beamed with satisfaction, obviously very pleased with the ceremony's success.

Su Tianxing humbly responded to everyone's praise, but his attention was drawn to a figure below. It was a middle-aged man in black robes who wasn't excitedly discussing the miracle like others, but stood quietly to the side, carefully observing the divine grain on the ground.

Even stranger, this man held a peculiar device in his hand that looked like some kind of detector. When he brought the device close to the divine grain, indicator lights on the device began flashing.

Su Tianxing's heart jumped—this device was somewhat similar to the signal blocker Lin Mo had given him. Could this person also be investigating the system's secrets?

Just as Su Tianxing wanted to approach and inquire, the black-robed man seemed to sense his gaze and looked up at him. Their eyes met in the air, and Su Tianxing saw a hint of warning in the other's eyes.

The black-robed man slightly shook his head, then quietly put away the device and disappeared into the crowd.

"Tianxing, what are you looking at?" Qingyunzi noticed Su Tianxing's distraction.

"Nothing, Sect Master," Su Tianxing withdrew his gaze. "I just feel today's ceremony was very successful."

"Of course it was successful!" Qingyunzi said excitedly. "Look at this divine grain—each grain contains the grace of the Heavenly Dao. With this divine grain, we can help more people and save more lives!"

Su Tianxing nodded, but the doubts in his heart grew heavier. He bent down and picked up a grain of divine grain to examine carefully. Under the sunlight, this grain indeed emitted an enticing golden glow, but Su Tianxing noticed that deep within the glow, tiny metal filaments seemed to be flickering.

These metal filaments were exactly the same as those he had seen in the divine grain at Qingyun Town, and similar to the metal fragments Senior Sister Liu had discovered.

[Host, please do not over-analyze the divine grain's structure. These are mysteries of the Heavenly Dao that mortals cannot understand.]

The system's voice echoed again, its tone carrying obvious warning. But this time, Su Tianxing didn't immediately follow the system's advice; instead, he continued observing the divine grain in his hand.

Suddenly, he noticed that the metal filaments on the divine grain's surface seemed to flicker according to some pattern, like they were sending some kind of coded information. This discovery shocked him—if these divine grains were really sending information, then to whom were they sending it? And what content were they transmitting?

"Senior Brother Su!" A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.

Su Tianxing looked up to see Lin Mo standing at the edge of the crowd, his face showing a complex expression. Their eyes met, Lin Mo slightly nodded, then pointed to his chest, indicating he had something to say.

Su Tianxing looked around and found that everyone was busy discussing the miracle and collecting divine grain; no one noticed their exchange. He quietly walked toward the edge of the crowd and came to Lin Mo's side.

"Lin Mo, why did you come?" Su Tianxing lowered his voice.

"I had to come," Lin Mo's voice was very serious. "Senior Brother Su, I just used a detector to examine this divine grain and discovered some very terrifying things."

"What things?"

Lin Mo took out a small device from his chest—this device was very similar to what Su Tianxing had seen the black-robed man holding earlier. "This divine grain is not only sending signals, but the signal strength is more than ten times stronger than the divine grain from Qingyun Town."

Su Tianxing's heart sank. "What's the content of the signals?"

"I'm still analyzing, but preliminary judgment suggests these signals contain physiological data and mental state information of everyone present," Lin Mo's expression became more serious. "Senior Brother Su, I suspect this divine grain is not only collecting faith energy but also collecting various human data."

This news filled Su Tianxing with fear. If what Lin Mo said was true, then today's ceremony wasn't demonstrating the Heavenly Dao's grace but conducting some kind of large-scale data collection activity.

"Then what should we do?" Su Tianxing asked.

"We can't act rashly now," Lin Mo shook his head. "There are too many people here, and many are important figures from major sects. If we reveal the truth now, it might cause panic and actually hinder the investigation."

"Then what's your suggestion?"

"Continue observing and collect more evidence," Lin Mo put the detector back in his chest. "Senior Brother Su, I know this is difficult for you, but right now you're our only way to understand the system's truth."

Su Tianxing nodded, but the pain in his heart grew stronger. He felt like a manipulated puppet, unknowingly becoming a tool for some conspiracy.

"Senior Brother Su," Lin Mo saw his pain, "remember, no matter what happens, don't forget your original intention. Your desire to save all living beings is real, and that will never change."

These words gave Su Tianxing some comfort. Yes, regardless of the system's true nature, his desire to help others was real.

"Tianxing! What are you doing over there?" Qingyunzi's voice came from afar.

Su Tianxing and Lin Mo quickly separated. Su Tianxing returned to the crowd while Lin Mo quietly left the martial arts arena.

"Sect Master, I was just observing the effects of the divine grain," Su Tianxing returned to Qingyunzi's side.

"Very good, very good!" Qingyunzi nodded with satisfaction. "Tianxing, today's ceremony was very successful. Representatives from major sects have all been shocked by your miracle, and they've already expressed willingness to cooperate with our Azure Cloud Sect to jointly promote the Heavenly Dao's grace."

This news made Su Tianxing's heart sink. If all major sects began promoting the system's power, then the entire cultivation world might fall under alien control.

[Host, this is excellent news. Through cooperation with major sects, we can spread the Heavenly Dao's grace to broader regions and save more lives.]

The system's voice was full of excitement, but Su Tianxing felt a chill. If the system really was alien technology, then what did its current excitement mean?

After the ceremony ended, representatives from major sects expressed their respect to Su Tianxing one after another and invited him to visit their respective sects for exchanges. Su Tianxing responded politely, but his mind was thinking about Lin Mo's words.

As night fell, the crowd in the martial arts arena gradually dispersed. Su Tianxing stood alone on the high platform, looking at the divine grain covering the ground, his heart full of contradictions.

This divine grain could indeed help people and solve problems of hunger and poverty. But if they were really collecting human data and serving some unspeakable purpose, should he continue using the system's power?

[Host, you seem troubled by something. If you have any problems, you can tell me, and I will answer them for you.]

The system's voice echoed again, gentle and caring. But Su Tianxing felt a wave of revulsion—this care now sounded more like surveillance and manipulation.

"I have no troubles," Su Tianxing answered in his mind. "I just feel today's ceremony was tiring."

[Then you should rest well. Tomorrow there are new tasks waiting for you to complete.]

"New tasks?"

[Yes, major sects have already invited you to visit their territories to help them solve various problems. This is an excellent opportunity to spread the Heavenly Dao's grace.]

Su Tianxing's heart sank. If he really visited major sects, then the system's influence would expand further. But if he refused, it would arouse suspicion.

"I understand," Su Tianxing said. "I'll consider it."

[Very good. Please make a decision soon—time waits for no one.]

The system's voice carried a hint of urgency, making Su Tianxing feel even more uneasy. Why was the system so eager? What exactly was it planning?

Just then, Su Tianxing noticed a figure moving at the edge of the martial arts arena. He looked carefully and found it was Senior Sister Liu. She was collecting divine grain from the ground, moving very carefully, seemingly trying to avoid being discovered.

Su Tianxing quietly walked over and came to Senior Sister Liu's side. "Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

Senior Sister Liu looked up, saw it was Su Tianxing, and sighed with relief. "Junior Brother, I'm collecting some divine grain samples to take back for careful study."

"Study what?"

"The true composition of this divine grain," Senior Sister Liu put the collected divine grain into a small bag. "Junior Brother, I observed the entire ceremony process today and discovered some strange phenomena."

"What phenomena?"

"During the divine grain's descent, I used special observation spells to monitor energy changes in the surroundings," Senior Sister Liu's voice was low. "I found that this divine grain was not only absorbing surrounding spiritual energy but also emitting some kind of special fluctuation."

"What kind of fluctuation?"

"Very much like some kind of communication signal," Senior Sister Liu's expression became serious. "Junior Brother, I suspect this divine grain might not be the Heavenly Dao's blessing but some kind of... some kind of surveillance device."

This guess completely matched Lin Mo's discovery, bringing Su Tianxing's fear to its peak. If both Senior Sister Liu and Lin Mo reached the same conclusion, then the system's true nature might really be as the black-robed man had said.

"Senior Sister, if your guess is correct, what should we do?"

"First, we need more evidence," Senior Sister Liu put away the bag containing divine grain. "I'll use ancient spells from the sect to analyze the true composition of this divine grain. If we really discover problems, then we'll decide on the next course of action."

"But what if the system discovers we're investigating it?"

"Then it proves our suspicions are correct," Senior Sister Liu said firmly. "Junior Brother, sometimes we must take risks to protect more people."

Su Tianxing nodded, but his heart was full of fear. He felt like he was standing at the center of a massive conspiracy, and he still knew nothing about its true nature.

"Senior Sister, there's one more thing," Su Tianxing remembered the black-robed man. "During today's ceremony, there was a man in black robes who held some kind of detection device and seemed to be investigating the divine grain's secrets too."

"A man in black?" Senior Sister Liu frowned. "Can you describe what he looked like?"

Su Tianxing described the black-robed man's appearance and behavior in detail. After listening, Senior Sister Liu's expression became even more grave.

"Junior Brother, I think that person might be a member of some secret organization," Senior Sister Liu said. "In the cultivation world, there are indeed some organizations that specialize in investigating abnormal phenomena. If they're also paying attention to the system, it means the problem might be more serious than we imagined."

This news made Su Tianxing feel both fear and a glimmer of hope. Fear because if even secret organizations were investigating the system, it meant the system indeed had problems; hope because at least they weren't fighting alone—others were paying attention to this matter.

"Senior Sister, what should we do next?"

"Continue observing and act carefully," Senior Sister Liu said. "Junior Brother, your situation is very special—you're both the system's host and the key to our understanding of the truth. You must collect as much information as possible without arousing the system's suspicion."

"I understand," Su Tianxing nodded. "Senior Sister, if... if we really discover the system has problems, what should we do?"

Senior Sister Liu was silent for a while, then said, "That depends on how serious the problem is. If it's just ordinary deception, we can find ways to solve it. But if... if it really involves the safety of all human civilization, then we must stop it at all costs."

These words shocked Su Tianxing. The safety of all human civilization? Could the system's conspiracy really be of such magnitude?

Just then, footsteps came from the distance. Senior Sister Liu immediately became alert and signaled Su Tianxing to stay quiet.

"Who's there?" a voice came from the darkness.

Su Tianxing and Senior Sister Liu turned around to see Qingyunzi walking toward them.

"Sect Master," Su Tianxing and Senior Sister Liu bowed simultaneously.

"Why are you two still here?" Qingyunzi approached and asked. "The ceremony ended so long ago."

"This disciple was observing the effects of the divine grain," Su Tianxing replied. "Wanting to better understand the Heavenly Dao's grace."

"Very good, very good!" Qingyunzi nodded with satisfaction. "Tianxing, your diligence makes this master very pleased. But it's already late; you should go back and rest. There are many things to do tomorrow."

"Yes, Sect Master," Su Tianxing and Senior Sister Liu answered simultaneously.

On the way back, Su Tianxing noticed the Sect Master's behavior was somewhat strange. He seemed very interested in the divine grain in the martial arts arena, stopping from time to time to observe. Moreover, Su Tianxing found that the Sect Master's eyes occasionally flashed with a strange light that made him feel very uncomfortable.

After returning to his room, Su Tianxing lay on his bed but couldn't fall asleep. Everything that happened today had dealt a huge blow to his worldview. He began to doubt everything he had always believed in, doubt the system's true nature, and even doubt the Sect Master and the sect's position.

[Host, your mental state seems unstable. Do you need to activate the psychological adjustment program?]

The system's voice echoed again, but this time Su Tianxing didn't immediately answer. He remembered the signal blocker Lin Mo had given him—that small device was now in the drawer of his bedside table.

Perhaps it was time to use it.

Su Tianxing quietly opened the drawer and took out the signal blocker. This device looked very simple, with only a switch and several indicator lights.

He hesitated for a moment, then pressed the switch.

Instantly, Su Tianxing felt a clarity in his mind, as if thoughts that had been bound by something suddenly gained freedom. At the same time, the system's voice completely disappeared, and the surveillance feeling that had always existed in the depths of his consciousness also vanished.

In this unprecedented state of freedom, Su Tianxing began to re-examine everything that had happened today. He thought of the metal filaments in the divine grain, those strange signals, the black-robed man's warning gaze, and Senior Sister Liu's concerns.

All the clues pointed to a terrifying conclusion: the system might really not be the Heavenly Dao's blessing but some kind of external control tool.

But if this was true, what should he do? He had already used the system's power to help so many people—if the system really had problems, wouldn't he have become an accomplice?

Even more terrifying, if the system's purpose was really to control humans, then today's ceremony was a huge trap. By demonstrating miracles, the system not only collected massive amounts of data but also made all major sects trust it.

Su Tianxing felt deep fear and despair. He felt like a manipulated puppet, unknowingly becoming a tool for some evil plan.

Just then, the indicator lights on the blocker began flashing, emitting weak alarm sounds. Su Tianxing realized that the system might have already detected the anomaly and was trying to reestablish connection.

He quickly turned off the blocker, and instantly, the system's voice returned to his mind.

[Host, abnormal fluctuations in your mental state were just detected. Have you encountered any problems?]

"No problems," Su Tianxing forced himself to remain calm. "I'm just a bit tired and want to rest."

[I suggest you rest as soon as possible and maintain good mental condition. Tomorrow's tasks are important and require your full effort.]

"I know," Su Tianxing said while hiding the blocker again.

However, this brief experience of freedom made him more certain of one thing: the system was indeed controlling his thinking. Under the blocker's influence, he could think more clearly and analyze problems more objectively. But under the system's influence, his thinking was always guided toward the direction the system desired.

This discovery filled Su Tianxing with both fear and anger. He felt his free will had been stripped away, his thoughts manipulated. But at the same time, he realized that now that he knew the truth, he had to find ways to deal with it.

He couldn't let the system continue deceiving more people, couldn't let the entire cultivation world fall under alien control. But he also couldn't act rashly because the system was monitoring his every move at all times.

Su Tianxing took a deep breath and began making plans. He needed more evidence, needed to find more allies, needed to find ways to counter the system.

And all of this had to be done without being discovered by the system.

Outside the window, the moon hung high in the night sky, casting cold moonlight. Under this moonlight, the divine grain in the martial arts arena still glittered like countless eyes watching this world.

Su Tianxing looked at this divine grain, a chill rising in his heart. He realized that a war concerning the survival of human civilization might have already quietly begun, and he was standing at the front lines of this war.

Tomorrow, the system would arrange new tasks for him, would have him go to more places to "save" more people. But now he knew that these so-called rescues might all be traps, all for collecting more data and controlling more people.

He had to find ways to stop all of this, even if it meant becoming enemies with the power he had always trusted, even if it meant taking enormous risks.

Because if he didn't act, there might never be another chance.

Just as Su Tianxing was lost in thought, a strange humming sound suddenly came from the distance. This sound was very faint, but in the silent night it seemed particularly clear.

Su Tianxing walked to the window and looked toward where the sound was coming from. He saw a weak blue light flickering in the direction of Azure Cloud Sect's back mountain. This light was very peculiar, unlike any light produced by traditional spells.

Even stranger, this light seemed to resonate with the divine grain in the martial arts arena. Su Tianxing noticed that whenever the light from the back mountain flickered, the divine grain would also flicker in response.

This discovery shocked Su Tianxing. Could there be other secrets hidden in the back mountain? Could the system have other arrangements at Azure Cloud Sect?

He wanted to go investigate, but worried about being discovered by the system. Finally, he decided to find an opportunity tomorrow to investigate the back mountain's situation.

The humming continued for about a quarter-hour, then gradually disappeared. The blue light from the back mountain also extinguished, and everything returned to calm.

But Su Tianxing knew this calm was only superficial. Under this peaceful night, a massive conspiracy was quietly proceeding, and tomorrow, this conspiracy might enter a new phase.

He had to prepare himself to meet the coming challenges.
