"Are you sure that this passage appeared in the Book of Nothingness?" Ye Ling asked, stunned, as he confirmed with the Spirit of Nothingness.
The Spirit of Nothingness: "It's true... This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. It's as if someone is using the Book of Nothingness as a chat tool with you, Master. It's truly unbelievable."
"Master, do you know who wrote this passage in the Book of Nothingness?"
Seeing that the Spirit of Nothingness was not joking, Ye Ling's expression turned serious. In his understanding, only two people could accomplish such a feat. Judging by the tone of the Book of Nothingness, he was almost certain that the person writing in it was Evil! Da Feng Novel Network.
A divine book capable of transforming nothingness was being used by Evil as a tool for leaving messages. Ye Ling couldn't fathom the limits of good and evil.
"M-Master! No!!!" Just as Ye Ling was still shocked by Evil's terrifying ability to write in the Book of Nothingness from afar, the Spirit of Nothingness screamed again, its voice filled with shock!
Ye Ling: "What's going on?"
The Spirit of Nothingness trembled: "This passage that appeared in the Book of Nothingness... it wasn't written by someone just now."
Ye Ling frowned: "What do you mean?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "The passage that appeared in the Book of Nothingness was unearthed from the very bottom layers of the book. In other words... this sentence was written not long after the Book of Nothingness first appeared!"
Ye Ling's pupils suddenly constricted: "This!!!" Not long after the Book of Nothingness appeared... how long ago was that? At that time, the void probably didn't even have a complete and orderly world... everything was still chaos. In such a distant era, Evil had already foreseen the present.
"Could it be... Evil has been making arrangements since a long time ago? And he could accurately calculate that I would use the Book of Nothingness at this moment to investigate Sin. Doesn't this mean that everything that has happened so far is under his control?"
Upon realizing this, Ye Ling's mind began to tremble. How could there be such a terrifying person in the world? At this moment, Ye Ling felt like a puppet on a stage, his every move being manipulated by a pair of unseen hands.
"Does... Good know about this?" Ye Ling pursed his lips, falling into immense fear at this moment.
The Spirit of Nothingness's emotions had completely broken down. It frantically flipped through the Book of Nothingness, trying to find any information about the person who had written such a passage in it. However, the Spirit of Nothingness's efforts were entirely in vain. The Book of Nothingness had not left any useful information.
"Unbelievable... How is this possible? Is there someone more omniscient and omnipotent than the Book of Nothingness? What are the Book of Nothingness and the void then?" The Spirit of Nothingness crashed wildly through the ocean of knowledge within the Book of Nothingness, its eyes becoming bloodshot. Clearly, the sentence left by Evil in the Book of Nothingness had given it a tremendous shock.
Ye Ling, as the master of the Spirit of Nothingness, could also feel its agitated emotions. He quickly regained his composure and said to the Spirit of Nothingness, "Spirit of Nothingness, calm down. Don't fall into a delusion!"
Ye Ling's sharp command was like a thunderous blow, instantly calming the Spirit of Nothingness.
"My apologies, Master... I lost my head a bit."
"I understand how you feel." Ye Ling took a deep breath and proactively flipped through the Book of Nothingness, bringing out the passage Evil had written in it. Although it only appeared as text in Ye Ling's mind, for some reason... he could always imagine Evil's smug expression when writing this passage.
"That guy... must be feeling particularly pleased, thinking everything is under his control, right?" Ye Ling gritted his teeth, then said to the Spirit of Nothingness, "Spirit of Nothingness, don't investigate the matter of Hidden Ruins. Investigate whose body Sin is currently occupying!"
The Spirit of Nothingness was taken aback by Ye Ling's words: "Master, are you sure?"
Ye Ling: "Certain!"
"Alright... wait a moment..." The Spirit of Nothingness quickly made an estimation and then said, "It will also take three days."
"Investigate!"
"No problem... Sin is currently occupying the Master's inner demon's body."
Ye Ling continued, "Proceed. Is there any connection between Sin and Bai Yue?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "Master, this will require four days."
Ye Ling: "Investigate!"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "Yes... according to the deductions of the Book of Nothingness, Sin and Bai Yue are connected."
Ye Ling: "Is Sin not in Hidden Ruins?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "This... will take eight days, Master, you..."
Ye Ling: "Stop the nonsense. Investigate everything I ask. Until the balance is depleted, do not ask me again!"
Seeing Ye Ling's almost demonic demeanor, the Spirit of Nothingness really wanted to dissuade him, but it could only obey Ye Ling's orders and could not say anything. It could only continue to consume the energy of the Book of Nothingness to make deductions.
"Master, Sin is not in Hidden Ruins."
Ye Ling: "Is Bai Yue in Hidden Ruins?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "Please wait a moment... Bai Yue is also not there."
Ye Ling: "Is Long Yao in Hidden Ruins?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "Please wait a moment... Master, she is."
Ye Ling: "Is Long Yao currently in contact with any factions?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "Wait a moment... Reporting to Master, Long Yao is in contact with members of another world."
Ye Ling: "Can the Book of Nothingness deduce matters within the dark side of nothingness?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "It can be deduced. The void and the dark side of nothingness are two sides of the same coin. However, because we are in Hidden Ruins, and there is a barrier between us and the dark side of nothingness, it requires more energy."
Ye Ling: "No problem... What are the current movements of the members of the Dark Side Legion?"
The Spirit of Nothingness: "Wait a moment... Master, the Dark Side Legion is currently gathering insect nests on a large scale. Does Master need further deductions on their next moves?"
Ye Ling: "No need, I can guess it myself. Continue your deductions. Deduce the specific number of bounty hunters who have come to Hidden Ruins from the dark side of nothingness, and their specific locations."
The Spirit of Nothingness: "Wait a moment... Reporting to Master, the bounty hunters from the dark side currently present in Hidden Ruins, including the Scythe Beast, total thirty-two people. Most of them are gathered on the Hidden Ruins platform, and the rest have already been marked on the map of Hidden Ruins for Master to view."
Ye Ling quickly reviewed the location information of all the dark side bounty hunters, while simultaneously consolidating the information he had deduced with his life. Gradually, he inferred Evil's general objective in this ranking competition from the side.
Ye Ling pondered for a moment, then asked the Spirit of Nothingness again, "Spirit of Nothingness, how much longer can I live?"
The Spirit of Nothingness was silent for a moment, then said to Ye Ling, "Master... your balance has only twelve hours left."
