With a casual gesture, Nie Wan lifted Howard up, exposing his blood-soaked body to Nie Wan and Tianxi Changyi.

“You must have seen it too,” Nie Wan said to Tianxi Changyi without turning around.

"Hmm," Tianxi Changyi responded with a single word.

He stared intently at Howard's heart, his eyes flashing alternately with gold and red light.

He could clearly see that in Howard's heart, amidst the layers of flesh that had been scraped away, something like fine sand was shimmering.

What this shimmering thing is, it's probably impossible to determine in a short time.

But without a doubt, it is related to concepts.

Previously, the concept of something that could only be barely observed through cultural relics and props, and which was injected into the human body through the game, has now finally found a relatively clear storage point through Nie Wan's layer-by-layer scraping.

Tianxi Changyi looked at this earth-shattering discovery and felt quite complicated.

"What's wrong, Axi? Your expression hasn't been good since earlier." Inside the official base of the Huaxia region, Chi Yunsong spoke slowly.

He leaned back in his chair, his shoulders slightly shrugged, his legs stretched out, and his arms casually resting on the armrests—a relaxed, casually chatting posture.

The Tianxi Changyi opposite him, on the other hand, was in a completely different posture.

His back was ramrod straight, his hands were crossed on the table, and his expression was extremely serious.

Hearing the old man's words, his tense expression relaxed slightly, as if he had woken up from a battle with himself.

Chi Yunsong smiled at him, his expression somewhat comforting: "Did you encounter some great battle?"

Tianxi Changyi shook his head honestly: "No, Chief, it's just that You Yuehan and I have some disagreements."

Chi Yunsong smiled with amusement: "You two have never traveled together, so how can you talk about differences?"

Tianxi Changyi could not help but admire the leader's keen insight and truthfully recounted what he had just seen and heard.

“It’s not that I can’t understand her, but I absolutely cannot condone such behavior. However, I also know that my disapproval is nothing but hypocrisy; I simply disagree, but I don’t have a better solution myself. I don’t want to blame You Yuehan, but I think my actions have already revealed my rejection.”

Chi Yunsong said, "You're a kind person, so it's understandable that you have such thoughts. However, You Yuehan will understand you, or rather, she won't care about your thoughts and won't be affected by them. So you don't need to have any emotions on your own. Well, in your young people's terms, it means don't fight internally."

He was much more rational than the young man, and immediately began to ask, "What exactly are those tiny flashes you mentioned about the heart? Can you send me a picture?"

“No.” Tianxi Changyi shook her head. “The incident happened in You Yuehan’s own artifact space. I cannot make any records without her permission.”

"Then let's ask for her permission. We're bound to get ripped off, but it's okay. We still have some savings. Let's go all out and trade with her!" Chi Yunsong waved his hand boldly.

Tianxi Changyi agreed and said, "The other service areas I've seen are indeed very chaotic. Even the most orderly Gaul area is not as well-organized as ours."

“I’ve been hearing you all say that a capable person has emerged in Gaul, but I don’t know how capable he is. Just now, Xun Ying managed to send some news back, saying that the person is a believer, and that while Gaul appears to be thriving on the surface, the atmosphere of suppressing heretics is very obvious. However, the news sent back is not very specific, so we can’t analyze it in detail.”

Chi Yunsong straightened up slightly, took the dragon-headed cane in his hand, and touched the dragon's head: "Do you think we still have a chance to find someone like Yun Chen?"

“No one is unique,” ​​Tianxi Changyi said. “Of course we can replicate them, but that would take too much time.”

Chi Yunsong smiled and nodded: "That's right. We're on good terms with You Yuehan anyway, so learning from her isn't something to be ashamed of. Saving time is the most important thing, right?"

Tianxi Changyi understood his implied meaning and lowered her head slightly, saying, "I will try my best to correct it, Chief."

"Hey!" Chi Yunsong shook his head. "You're still honest, but you still tend to take on too much. Stop doing this all the time, stop getting stuck in your own little world. You're already doing so many things at once, it's exhausting. If you keep getting stuck in your own little world, aren't you just making yourself suffer? You should learn from You Yuehan. Once you've done something, you do it. If there's a price to pay, you accept it. If there's a reward, you take it. Every day you get through is a victory. You need that kind of spirit to withstand fighting on three fronts!"

Tianxi Changyi agreed, saying, "Actually, it's not troublesome. This game is no longer mysterious to us; it's just a game of fighting."

“Hey, we can’t be so sure,” Chi Yunsong said. “To be able to create such a commotion, no one really knows how their power works. How can we say that there are no more secrets left?”

Tianxi Changyi said, "But I think we've reached the limit of what secrets we can uncover. Didn't you instruct us to prepare for a long-term struggle?"

"Giving instructions is one thing, being prepared is another, and when there's an opportunity to be proactive, you should be proactive. Your temper is still a bit too mild; you should try to reconcile with Little Eagle."

Tianxi Changyi remained noncommittal.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched violently.

Then, a notification sounded in his ear that the mission had failed.

It wasn't that his mission failed, but rather that another player, including himself, had failed among the many players he had teamed up with.

This is the eighth mission to fail.

Eight people, which is not many compared to the thirty-six people Nie Wan had prepared, is still nearly a quarter of the total.

These people are all inheritors of the Gluttonous Demon Clan, cultivated by her through the plundering of many resources.

Among the players of the Cold Moon Immortal Palace, these people are second only to the established members of the expert group in terms of quality.

After receiving the inheritance of the Taotie Demon Clan, everyone has the hope of obtaining the inheritance of the Taotie Demon Lord and becoming a player alongside Tianxi Changyi and others.

However, if they fail in this grand mission to steal the oracle, death will be far more than just a possibility.

Their inheritance will be stripped away, their attributes will be greatly reduced, and their character status will suffer a long period of weakness debuff, making it extremely difficult to obtain a good job change class again.

Moreover, they will bear the shared hatred of the entire demon race.

Especially the Taotie demons who gave them the inheritance, their hatred level will become exceptionally high.

In more extreme cases, they might even be put on a kill order by the demon race and randomly hunted down by demon bosses of various levels.
