But looking at the various light spots floating around, Bai Zhi already had a clear answer in his heart.
After a moment, Bai Zhi took out a golden point of light... This was the secret treasure of the void that he had obtained during the professional trial to become the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions.
—[Lingyuan? Sacred].
Volume 2: The Miracle of Improbable Probability: Chapter 1281 Chapter 364 The Element-eating Beast (4k)
[Spiritual Source? Holy], this is a void secret treasure he obtained in the professional trial of the Five Directions Ghost Emperor.
This item brought him three entries in total.
[Holy], [Spiritual Source], and [Prayer for Light].
In his trip to the Tomb of the World, every entry in it played an indispensable role... Well, except [Prayer for Light], which was used as an atmosphere group.
But thinking about the scene when he came here before... maybe the reason why he came here was because the word "Pray for Light" illuminated the road
Looking at the golden light spot on his hand, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
After he took out this thing, the scattered light spots on the side gathered towards him one after another, and the golden light spot on his hand became much more active.
The situation looks a bit like... going home
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi let go of his hand and allowed the golden light spot on his hand to escape from his hand.
So in the blink of an eye, the golden light spot on his hand disappeared into the endless light spots of various colors around him.
"It's interesting. Are you really not afraid that that thing won't come back? After all, this is its home."
Quite suddenly, a slightly frivolous voice came from in front of him.
When Bai Zhi turned around to look, he saw an orange cat sitting on the stone table at some point.
At the same time, in the hand of this orange cat, he was quite elegantly holding a cup with a familiar style and bubbles... Sprite
…an orange cat who drinks Sprite
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Zhi's expression couldn't help but look a little strange.
"… Who are you?"
After staring at the orange cat in front of him for a while, Bai Zhi asked.
"Element Devouring Beast."
Putting down the Sprite, the orange cat raised his head proudly.
"Being able to come to a place like this, you can be considered a person with deep blessings. Tell me, what do you want from us?"
"where is this place?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed at the various colored light spots everywhere in the space beside him.
"Also, what did you mean when you said this is its home?"
"Here? This is an island in time."
After hearing his question, the orange cat in front of him looked even more arrogant.
"Do you know what an island of time is? An island of time means that this place does not exist in the past or the future, but only exists in the moment you are in. This is a unique residence."
"Island in time? Unique?"
Bai Zhi frowned slightly without knowing what he was thinking of.
"Why are you so stupid? An island in time is an island in time. Isn't it difficult to understand?"
Giving him a very disgusted look, the orange cat opened its claws.
—Maybe it’s because no one has talked to it for a long time, so this orange cat seems quite chatty.
"If time is compared to a long river that flows forward and keeps moving forward, then the place we are now is equivalent to an island independent of time. This is an absolutely safe place."
"...Are you sure it's absolutely safe?"
Thinking of the withered dark space he had seen before, Bai Zhi's expression couldn't help but look a little strange.
"That's natural."
With his head held high and his chest held high, the orange cat had a proud look on his face.
"Our master is not at home now, so we will entertain you now. Although no one has been here for a long time, everyone who can get here can get something here. What do you want? What?"
"... Let's not talk about this kind of thing for now. Let's talk about other things first."
Bai Zhi reached out and pressed his forehead, then spoke.
"According to what you said before, that Void Secret Treasure escaped from this island of time?"
"Void Secret Treasure? It should be considered it."
After thinking for a moment, the orange cat answered.
"It was made by our master himself, and then it spread out somehow, and then you got it."
"What about your master?"
"I'm gone. I don't know where I went. The master hasn't been back for a long time."
As if it had touched something sad, the orange cat shriveled up instantly, and the whole cat lay listlessly and limply on the stone table.
"If you count the time, it's already almost 100 years... although there is no concept of time here."
"...Okay, there's something I want to tell you."
Bai Zhi reached out and pressed his forehead.
"I don't know what time you are at, but if nothing happens, your so-called time island should have completely crashed in the future..."
"Impossible!! If this place was destroyed, how did you get in!?"
Before Bai Zhi could finish his words, Orange Cat interrupted him quite loudly.
"This is our master's home. As long as nothing happens to our master, nothing will happen here!! And our master is very strong!!"
"Even if you said that, but... huh?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked upward.
Under the protection of thousands of light spots, the golden light spot he had released before swayed towards him again, and then spontaneously sank into the palm of his hand.
At the same time, a prompt from the system quietly appeared in front of him.
[Special mission trigger]

[Item name: Yuan Devouring Beast]
[Type: Pet]
[Race: void creature]

[Attribute: Cannot be viewed by non-owners.]
[Introduction: This element-devouring beast is a fully mature body and is extremely valuable. It is extremely difficult to capture its traces during action.]

[Conditions of use: The World Tree represents life, so it cannot take root in a world with a strong aura of death.]

[Note ②: It’s a pity that the tree is gone. Let’s see if it can be planted. But even if it can be planted, it won’t be the original tree. —? ? ?]
"...No, this guy is really an element-devouring beast?"
After reading the system prompts that popped up in front of him, and then looking at the orange cat in front of him who seemed to be angry because of his own style of words, Bai Zhi's expression couldn't help but look a little weird.
With the appearance of these system prompts, the questions in his mind were also answered.
—The reason why he was brought to this place by Zaiyu was indeed because of the Void Secret Treasure [Spiritual Source? Sacred].
To be honest, he wanted to complain from the very beginning.
This Void Secret Treasure was good for everything, but he just couldn't figure out why there was a joke like [Pray for Light] in the two entries [Holy] and [Spiritual Source].
Because of this entry, he didn’t know how much dark history there was...
After all, just from the name [Lingyuan? Sacred], it is obvious that the entry [Prayer for Light] was forced in.
But if the existence of the entry [Pray for Light] is the necessary guiding light to guide him to this kind of place, then everything can make sense.
It's just that that guy went through so much trouble just to get himself here to save a cat, especially since the cat didn't seem to need salvation like Yu... Bai Zhi's mood was quite complicated now.
... Oh no, it's the element-devouring beast... But it's the same.
In addition, as for the rewards related to this special mission, the first item is not counted for the time being. The last two items are obviously related to the shadow world and the underworld.
But the question is, how did that guy know he would need these things
... In the legend of the World Guardian, is that [Laplace Demon] that exists deep in the Tomb of the World
Could the owner of the orange cat in front of me be the legendary [Laplace Demon]? Could there really be such an existence as [Laplace's Demon]
The solution of an old problem is often accompanied by the emergence of many new problems.
Looking at the orange cat staring at him, so many thoughts passed through Bai Zhi's mind in the blink of an eye.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Do you need me to show you any evidence?"
Converging the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Bai Zhi shook his head imperceptibly.
