"No, it's not as simple as you think."
Ye Ling withdrew from the shared archives of the Overseers and said to the Lord of the Upper Realm, "The archives record that Mr. Bai killed the strong Heavenly Walker, Ling, in the Three Pure Universes and shattered the Heavenly Walkers' conspiracy."
"And currently, in another world outside the Primordial Chaos, the Heavenly Walkers have heavily defeated the Overseers, forcing 'The Brain' to personally leave the Primordial Chaos and command operations on the front lines."
"Furthermore, within the Overseers' headquarters, there is a mysterious person named 'Luo Yun' who, under 'The Brain's' nose, incited a hundred thousand Overseers... Coupled with this, there is a strong individual from outside the Primordial Chaos named 'Seventeen' who is cooperating with Tian Ji, and Mr. Bai has two mysterious individuals, one fat and one thin, who do not belong to the Overseers by his side, as well as this peculiar chessboard in the courtyard pointing towards the Three Pure Universes..."
"Combining this series of information with Mr. Bai's actions in the Three Pure Universes as recorded in the Overseers' shared archives, it is not difficult to infer that Mr. Bai's relationship with the Heavenly Walkers is extraordinary, and that Mr. Bai may even be a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Walkers..."
"Mr. Bai is a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Walkers?" The Lord of the Upper Realm was stunned by Ye Ling's words, "But isn't Mr. Bai a native of the Primordial Chaos? And he is one of the Seven Pillars among the Overseers. The Heavenly Walkers are an external force from outside the Primordial Chaos, so how can they be related to Mr. Bai?"
"All the answers to this probably lie in a visit to the Three Pure Universes," Ye Ling said solemnly, committing the chess game on the board to memory before returning the pieces to their original positions.
"Then, sir, shall we go investigate the Three Pure Universes now?"
Although the Lord of the Upper Realm couldn't understand the relationship between the Heavenly Walkers and Mr. Bai, he was extremely eager to leave the Overseers' headquarters at this moment and couldn't help but ask Ye Ling.
"No need. The Three Pure Universes have always been within the Primordial Chaos, so we can go anytime. I still have unfinished business at the Overseers' headquarters."
Although Ye Ling was also extremely curious about Mr. Bai's true identity, for him, uncovering Mr. Bai's true face was a side quest. Solving Tian Ji and reclaiming the power of the Primordial Soul King was the main quest.
Seeing that Ye Ling had no intention of leaving the Overseers' headquarters, the Lord of the Upper Realm was somewhat disappointed, but he did not dare to reveal his emotions. He quickly asked Ye Ling, "Then, sir, what are your plans next? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I actually do have something for you to do." Ye Ling smiled at the Lord of the Upper Realm. "After I invaded the Overseers' shared archives just now, I found a lot of information about prisons and prisoners. I need you to help me sort out all the information about prisons and prisoners. I have a great use for it."
As he spoke, Ye Ling condensed a jade token in his hand and gave it to the Lord of the Upper Realm. "This token stores some of my power. You can use it to access the Overseers' shared archives. From now on, you will work in this mansion. Outside, there is 'The Brain's' barrier, so no one else can enter."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the Lord of the Upper Realm was startled. "Sir, you are going to leave me here alone?"
Ye Ling said bluntly, "What I'm about to do will only slow me down, and you might even lose your life. Stay here and do the work I've assigned you, and you might have a chance to survive."
In fact, Ye Ling had some unspoken words.
The Lord of the Upper Realm had been associated with Tian Ji for some time, and his soul might have been tampered with by Tian Ji. If Ye Ling continued to keep the Lord of the Upper Realm with him, he could become a ticking time bomb.
Therefore, before dealing with Tian Ji, Ye Ling had to find a reason to lock the Lord of the Upper Realm in one place.
Seeing Ye Ling's firm attitude, the Lord of the Upper Realm no longer insisted and bowed to Ye Ling, saying, "I understand. I will not fail your trust."
"Yes, your work is crucial, and it might even be related to whether we can rescue Mr. Bai. Work hard."
After giving the Lord of the Upper Realm another reminder, Ye Ling teleported out of Mr. Bai's mansion and, outside "The Brain's" barrier, added another layer of his own barrier.
After doing all this, Ye Ling transmitted a message to Bai Lan through the Source Text, "Lan'er, have you gone out yet?"
"Not yet. The Overseers are very strict with the barriers, and the Twins and Seventeen are also patrolling the perimeter. I haven't found an opportunity."
Bai Lan quickly replied through the Source Text, "By the way, Master, where did you go just now? I couldn't sense your aura at all."
"It's a long story. I fell into a trap, and I've already left that city."
"A trap?" Hearing Ye Ling's words, Bai Lan immediately became anxious. "Are you alright, Master? Where are you now?"
"I'm fine. I'm still at the Overseers' headquarters. The trap was tampered with, and it guided me to your father's mansion."
"My father..." Bai Lan was surprised to hear about her father. "What happened to him?"
"He was imprisoned by 'The Brain,' but I guess he's probably fine. Your father's identity might be more than just one of the Seven Pillars."
"More than just one of the Seven Pillars..." Bai Lan was a bit confused. "Master, what have you discovered? I don't quite understand."
Ye Ling smiled, "It's normal if you don't understand. The information I've collected so far is very little, and I can't restore the full truth yet."
"Alright..." Bai Lan wasn't very curious about her father's identity and then said to Ye Ling, "Master, did you suddenly contact me because you have something for me to do?"
"Yes, I'll give you a list later. The people on the list are those I found in the Overseers' shared archives. They are currently mid-level management of the Overseers. Since you haven't left the barrier, you will hunt them down in my name within the barrier and use their lives to construct a blood array."
"Construct a blood array? What kind of formation?" Bai Lan asked.
Ye Ling replied, "The type of formation doesn't matter. What I want is to make 'The Hand' restless, and at the same time, make the Twins and Seventeen believe that I am plotting something big in the city."
The intelligent Bai Lan instantly understood what Ye Ling wanted to do and immediately smiled, "I understand, Master! Don't worry, I'll handle this perfectly!"
"Be careful not to be caught by the Twins and Seventeen. Prioritize your own safety, understand?"
"Don't worry, Master! I've been learning from you for so long, and with the help of the Source Text, they can't catch me! I'm going to work now! Wang Liren Number Two, deploy!"
After saying that, Bai Lan cut off contact with Ye Ling.
"This girl..."
Seeing Bai Lan abruptly cut off contact, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled.
Then, Ye Ling's gaze gradually became serious. He looked at an empty spot outside Mr. Bai's mansion and said, "By altering Tian Ji's trap to lure me here, to let me pry into Mr. Bai's secrets..."
"Now that I've handled my side, it's time for you to come out and tell me your purpose for doing this."
"My inner demon."
