Chapter 459: Chapter 326: Apocalypse Crisis_2

They did not possess the ability of the Chosen One, it was certainly very dangerous. No, perhaps even the Country couldn’t resist... The instance was set up directly on Blue Star, that might mean... it was no different from a global occurrence of anomaly.

Moreover, there might not even be a time limit, which would mean... Blue Star was facing an apocalyptic crisis, no different from an explosion.

Xiao Yi then understood why, up to now, he hadn’t received any contact from Blue Star, because they were already overwhelmed, how could they possibly have the time to chat with him?

No, whether they still had the opportunity and ability to make contact with him was now a question, because... if what these two followers of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma said was true, then Xiao Yi shouldn’t be here, but should be on Blue Star challenging the Blue Star instance.

Currently experiencing a completely different instance, this abnormal situation implied that he had lost contact with Analog Horror, and thus, it was very possible that he could not use the opportunity given by Analog Horror for an external reminder to make contact with people on Blue Star.

Why is that? Xiao Yi wasn’t sure, but he knew this abnormal situation must be related to these two followers of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma.

So, Xiao Yi asked, "Then since everyone else is challenging the instance on Blue Star, why am I here? I was supposed to be challenging the instance on Blue Star within Analog Horror, what did you do?"

"..." The two exchanged looks, remaining silent for a moment.

"...What should we do?" After a while, the taller figure in a black robe could not help but speak, "He has realized this and is asking questions."

"There’s no way around it..." the shorter figure in a black robe replied. "When I decided to mention Blue Star, it was almost certain that this situation would arise."

Then, they turned to Xiao Yi, explaining in a grave tone:

"Actually... when you were about to enter the Blue Sky Appearance instance, we intercepted and brought you into this world we created."

"And to ensure you’d cooperate with us, we deliberately modified the world to mimic the system of Analog Horror to observe how you, a human, would react, make decisions, and act under the conditions we set."

"I see..." Xiao Yi nodded, deep in thought, "No wonder I thought this instance of Analog Horror seemed quite different from the usual - it’s just a poor imitation."

"I don’t like hearing that!" The shorter figure in the black robe immediately expressed dissatisfaction, "How can you call this a poor imitation? I think I did a pretty good job!"

"...I see, although I meant that the rules this time seemed a bit sparse, I’ll take back what I said."

As Xiao Yi spoke, he also developed a doubt in his mind; the previous Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, although displaying overly dramatic emotional expressions, fundamentally were non-human entities, and it seemed... the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma also wanted him dead.

However, these two followers of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma seemed very different, not apparently harboring any ill intentions towards him.

Yet, it was an indisputable fact that they had deceived Xiao Yi, using him as a test subject.

"But..." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but ask, "I was thinking, weren’t you, followers of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, trying to kill me before? Why such a mild approach this time? Are you planning to use me up and then kill me?"

"No, not at all! We mean you no harm!" the taller figure in the black robe hurriedly explained, "Our kin wanted to hurt you before because they have relatively radical views and believe death is the best means, but we don’t think that way."

"Oh, I see." Xiao Yi said, "So, among you followers of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, there are so-called radicals and conservatives?"

"Uh... you can understand it that way."

"So..." Xiao Yi asked again, "Why did you bring me here? Why toss me into a world like an instance and observe what I do?"

"This... if we were to explain, it gets a bit complicated. It would involve the Origin of our Empty Way of Dependent Dharma."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yi immediately changed his request, "Then never mind, I think I’d better go back to Blue Star. Can you let me go back now?"

"..." They paused for a moment, then said, "We don’t recommend that you do that. No, rather, we need to prevent you from doing that. Even with your abilities, returning to Blue Star now would undoubtedly lead to defeat. You cannot change the crisis on Blue Star, nor can you save the people."

"Undoubtedly defeated?" Xiao Yi’s expression hardened. "What do you mean?"

"Blue Sky Appearance..." they said gravely. "It intends to bestow trials upon everyone on Blue Star; no one is exempt. You were naturally considered from the very beginning, so the difficulty of the trial has been adjusted specifically for you. It ensures that you absolutely cannot interfere in this trial that involves everyone, ensuring each person must rely solely on their own strength to face the trial."

"This is the conclusion we’ve reached after our observations, so even if you were to go back now, it would be futile. On the contrary, you might face the danger of death."

"Targeted me?" Xiao Yi sighed helplessly. "What exactly did I do, that both the opposing Empty Way of Dependent Dharma and Analog Horror are targeting me? No, speaking of which, these beings called Blue Sky Appearance, what exactly are they? I’m still not clear."

In fact, as beings of Blue Sky Appearance, neither Eve nor Regret had ever told Xiao Yi what kind of entities they were or for what purpose they acted.

That appears to be the greatest secret of Blue Sky Appearance. Even Eve could not speak of it—in an absolute sense, she was unable to, bound by this limitation.

Xiao Yi remembered that Fei Ye had once told him that only by figuring out their purpose could he find a way to defeat them.

Blue Sky Appearance, it was evident that the Xiao Yi of today could in no way confront such beings. So, what these two from Empty Way of Dependent Dharma said was likely the truth.

As a result, Xiao Yi’s subsequent actions had shifted to figuring out the purpose of Blue Sky Appearance in order to find a way to deal with them and save the people on Blue Star.

So, Xiao Yi had to ask the two from Empty Way of Dependent Dharma in front of him:

"Do you know what exactly this so-called Blue Sky Appearance is? What is their purpose for targeting our small Blue Star and adamantly imposing these so-called Analog Horror on us?"

"This..." They paused for a moment before responding, "Actually, we don’t know what Blue Sky Appearance really is. They transcend causation and logic, all truths, and appeared nonsensically amidst infinity. Moreover, we from Empty Way of Dependent Dharma, no matter what, cannot defeat them, nor can we observe their information... they are beings of a higher existence, above us. However, we may have some clues about the purpose of Blue Sky Appearance’s actions."

"Really?" Xiao Yi immediately pressed, "What is it?"

"If we were to explain that, it would be a bit troublesome, and we would have to start from the Origin of our Empty Way of Dependent Dharma."

"After all this while, how are we back to this topic again?"
