Bai Yang’s mind blanked out for a long while before he finally reacted. The wheels in his brain turned as he processed the information he had just learned.

My uncle caused my older brother’s accident.

He was also the reason for the mishap that happened when I transmigrated.

This world is about to be destroyed.

Ji Yuan or the people in the real world all think I’m Zhou Ying.

Ji Yuan inserted a data pack to save me.

If I want to leave, I need to get the data pack.

The key to ascending or, in other words, leaving, is killing Xie Zetian.

Killing Xie Zetian….

Killing me???

Bai Yang’s mind immediately fell into chaos.

If I die, how can I leave?

If I leave, what about Ji Zixuan?

If this world is destroyed, wouldn’t that mean that everyone….

Bai Yang gulped.

At that moment, he heard Xiao Ling’s voice in his mind. “I’ve finally woken up. En. Sir, what’s going on? How come your face is so ugly?”

Bai Yang forced down his complicated emotions and asked, “Xiao Ling, you woke up?”

Xiao Ling said, puzzled, “En, you… what happened?”

Bai Yang said, “I ask you, Xiao Ling, can you remember what happened when you were fast asleep?”

“What happened? I don’t know, ah,” Xiao Ling said.

“Just now, the protagonist, Zhou Ying, ascended to the Mahayana Stage. It triggered a hidden quest. The countdown to the world’s destruction has started.”

Xiao Ling shrieked, “What? That happened?”

Bai Yang said, “Yes, you didn’t know?”

“I didn’t know!” Xiao Ling panicked. “The destruction of the world… does that mean we’re all going to die here? That can’t be. A countdown… how much time is left?”

“33 days.”

Xiao Ling said, alarmed, “33 days?! How can we complete the quest in such a short amount of time?”

From what Xiao Ling was saying, she seemed to really not know what was going on. Bai Yang continued to ask, “Right, if Zhou Ying does not ascend to the River Crossing Stage in 33 days, I’ll die.”

Xiao Ling wept. “Sir, if you die, I will also disappear! Xiao Ling doesn’t want to die wuwuwu….”

Bai Yang suddenly realized. Judging from Xiao Ling’s tone, if she wasn’t sure that it would happen, she wouldn’t have said it. It seemed that her life was still bound to his.

He was worried that Xiao Ling would side with the main system and continued to sound her out. “When you were asleep, they also said that five years had already passed in the real world. But I remember you saying before that I’ve only been here a short time.”

Xiao Ling was silent.

“Xiao Ling?” Bai Yang sensed something from her silence and continued to say, “Since we’re now in the same boat, you have to tell me the truth.”
