More than ten seconds passed.

In a shady, overgrown area beneath tall trees.

Li Cheng颐 stood silently before a massive oak tree, its trunk as thick as three people could encircle.

The sensation from the Flower Language Bead was here, but there was no one around.

He reached out, as if there were a virtual point floating in the air, fixed in place.

That was the location of the Flower Language Bead's signal.

One step forward would pass it, one step back would move away.

"Within a blind spot?"

Li Cheng颐 took a deep breath.

He had first located the Flower Language Bead belonging to Pan En, wanting to find Pan En and his family first.

But the current situation was like this...

"He took everyone into a blind spot..."

Wooo...

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from above.

Li Cheng颐 sensed something as well, and looked up at the sky.

The black shield, which had been brightly lit just moments ago, was now rapidly dimming.

The entire city had completely lost all light. At times like these, one could see that the massive hemispherical shield wasn't completely opaque, but faintly showed the subtle outlines of the outside.

Whoosh!

From here, one could see eyeless giant birds, their bodies dripping with viscous fluid, rapidly flying over the shield.

These giant birds were semi-transparent, appearing sometimes illusory, sometimes substantial, quite bizarre.

What made Li Cheng颐's heart sink even more was that there were at least thousands of these giant birds at a glance, each with an extremely thick and powerful life aura.

That life aura was close to the demons he had seen in the Black Mist Sea.

That was at least the aura of a Single Seal.

He now seemed to understand why Earth-Moon and White Star, even when working together, were being defeated and suffering heavy casualties.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Cheng颐 took a deep breath. The immediate priority was to find the others.

'Now that they've entered a blind spot, I'll try to see if I can enter directly using Nihen (Reverse Trace).'

The prerequisite for Nihen entry was whether the blind spot would reject and squeeze him.

If it was a small blind spot, he wouldn't be afraid, but his fear was that the place where so many people had gone might be a huge blind spot.

Confirming the location, Li Cheng颐 did not immediately use Nihen, but took a deep breath and continuously used Shadow Flash!

He began to flash and approach the locations of the other Flower Language Beads.

More than ten minutes later.

He found the blind spot entrance point for Xiao Zong (Little Zong) on a small island in the sea.

Then there was Rainbow Candy Bear. The two seemed to have entered the same blind spot, in a coconut grove by the sea.

The location of the Longmen Crane was in a deserted manor in the wilderness.

Tang Yuwei's was found in a dilapidated aircraft, burned and melted together with the entire interior.

As for Tang Yuwei... Needless to say, she had died in battle. Li Cheng颐 retrieved the first Flower Language Bead and continued to look for the others.

Finally, there was the boss, Xindra. He was in the same woodland location as Pan En.

Obviously, he had evacuated with most of the people.

At this point, the locations of all the Flower Language Beads had been determined.

Li Cheng颐 was very glad that he had not directly used Nihen at the beginning. Even with his current strength, rashly entering an unfamiliar blind spot could be dangerous. The key was that he couldn't directly destroy everything and flip the table.

After all, in order to seek refuge, Pan En had likely chosen an ultra-large blind spot that could withstand dangerous pulls.

In the world of blind spots, the smaller they are, the more dangerous and the shorter the restart time.

The larger they are, the longer the restart time, calculated in years. Just like Pangguang, Midrann.

This was already considered a world.

Although there would still be a lot of danger, as long as you found a suitable location and lurked, safe living was still possible.

Didn't those blind spot people in Yunshan survive like this for so many years?

After confirming the location of the blind spot Pan En had left through, Li Cheng颐 returned to the Li family to take a look.

As expected, the house was empty. There was only a note on the table, held down by a black inkstone.

He picked up the note and unfolded it.

'Boss, I don't know if you can see these words, but no matter what, I'm leaving them here, just in case you can see them.'

'The situation is getting worse and worse. A few days ago, a person claiming to be the leader of Yuan Ying (Distant Shadow) came to me and told me that an existence has set its sights on our world. I couldn't understand, but he used many incredible means to make me understand everything. I understood their existence, my existence, and the connection to this entire world.'

'He called me the Original Body and told me that if I died, the entire Earth-Moon White Star world would lose hope and could only head towards complete destruction and disintegration. So I must escape and avoid the gaze of those existences.'

'If you see this note, I hope you understand that I have not betrayed you. Before you find us, I will take good care of everyone. Xu Meng (Phantom Dream) told me that you are very strong and that when you come back, you will definitely be able to save everyone and return everything to the beginning. So... I will try my best to wait... --Pan En.'

The handwriting was scribbled and the tone was rushed.

Putting down the note, Li Cheng颐 roughly pieced together all the pieces of the puzzle in his mind.

Just during the time he was away, a powerful existence had set its sights on the Original Body of the Earth-Moon blind spot and had come to hunt it. It was very likely that the outbreaks of the blind spot catastrophes were special methods they had created.

"Forget it, it seems I have to find Pan En as soon as possible."

He had not expected that everything after his return would turn into such a situation of fleeing.

The powerful existence hunting the Original Body, capable of knowing the existence of the Original Body, was at least a terrifying individual capable of traveling the Black Sea.

In the Black Sea, which was full of crises, even he couldn't say that he could travel freely.

Obviously... the other party's strength would not be weak.

After thinking for a moment, Li Cheng颐 decided to look for another more reliable source of information.

'Iselyn, are you still there?'

Silence, quiet.

Li Cheng颐 wasn't in a hurry, and repeatedly called out the other party's name in his heart.

He had not broken free from the pull of the Tightly Held Hands blind spot, so theoretically, as long as he was willing, he could enter it at any time and see Iselyn.

Not long after, a familiar, soft pulling force was transmitted to his body. Li Cheng颐 relaxed as much as possible, following the pull, closing his eyes, and extending his mental power into it.

Hiss!

In an instant, the surrounding environment changed drastically.

He reappeared in a dimly lit girl's bedroom.

The door to the room was open, and a graceful figure, leaning on a silver-white cane, turned to look this way.

"Brother??"

Iselyn's voice was hesitant.

Li Cheng颐 opened his eyes and looked at the other party.

On that familiar pretty face, there was a charred scar that hadn't been there before.

It was Iselyn, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Now, she was almost as tall as he was, wearing a black silk dress, her long hair tied with a black hair band, and a necklace of teeth made of some unknown material around her chest.

"It really is you!! Brother!! You're back!!"

Iselyn finally confirmed his identity, and the caution in her eyes quickly turned into joy.

She rushed forward in one stride and hugged Li Cheng颐's waist tightly, burying her head in his arms.

It was only then that Li Cheng颐 noticed that one of her hands was empty, without a forearm.

"Your hand!?" His expression changed slightly.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small injury, it will grow back slowly in the future," Iselyn said happily.

"Where exactly did you go, brother? I waited for you for so long... When those bad people invaded, everyone thought you would definitely appear, but in the end... everyone almost died. If Teacher hadn't hidden and teleported us, I'm afraid you would never have seen everyone again," she said sadly.

"Who are they?" Li Cheng颐 asked in a deep voice, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"They are Bai La (White Wax), an organization called White Wax," Iselyn replied.

"White Wax?" Li Cheng颐 frowned, having never heard of it. Logically, the information he had received from his Talented Bloom Flower Language should have been enough, but even he had never heard of this force. This was a bit strange.

"You might not know if you just say the name, but if you change it to another, you will definitely know, brother," Iselyn said seriously, "Remember the painting you investigated before?"

"That painting? What painting?"

"The painting that involved the slot machine's Fog Street blind spot, the little fat boy in the painting, remember?" Iselyn reminded him.

"It's him? What's wrong?"

"That little fat boy is not a native of the Fog Street blind spot. To be precise, the Fog Street blind spot is connected to many blind spots, not only ours, but also Midrann, and many other blind spots. And White Wax is the strongest of them."

Iselyn explained seriously, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see Teacher first. He spent a lot of good things to save people before, and he's been heartbroken for a long time, and he's been talking about you coming back to compensate him."

"If I'm sure that old man really saved people, of course I will compensate him, not only compensate him, but also repay him well!"

Li Cheng颐's heart relaxed, finally getting a reliable source of information.

Immediately, Iselyn pulled him out of the bedroom door, through a downward staircase, and into the Twilight Library.

The library, forever shrouded in a sunset glow, had a small door on the wall leading to another room, with an ancient bone wind chime hanging on it.

Iselyn went forward, grabbed the doorknob, and gently twisted it.

The other side of the door was a spacious seaside terrace with a cool breeze blowing at dusk.

Within the white terrace railing, Professor Meman was wearing a simple white t-shirt, his large tentacles spreading out, and a shimmering colored ball was floating on the small round table next to him, with various patterns changing and flowing inside from time to time.

The professor was reaching out to hold the ball, seemingly remotely controlling the patterns inside.

Seemingly aware of Li Cheng颐's entry, he turned around, his blurred face looking this way.

"Long time no see... Luckily, you didn't rashly teleport to the blind spot where Pan En is, but chose to come to me first."

"It has indeed been a long time... Respected Professor Meman, thank you for your help at a critical moment. This kindness will definitely be compensated and repaid in the future," Li Cheng颐 made a serious promise.

"Very good, that's what I wanted to hear. Now, let's see what the White Wax that attacked the Earth-Moon blind spot is all about," Meman said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the origin of White Wax is actually related to the painting you came into contact with back then... If you think about it carefully, you are actually the source of it."

"Me?" Li Cheng颐 was stunned.
