"Hmm? Related to Pipi?"
Ye Feng followed Bai Xi's gaze and turned his head, instantly guessing what it was about.
"Those strange words... they are... I just added them out of boredom~"
Under the gaze of Bai Xi and Ye Feng, Pipi shifted its body, its voice a little weak.
Ye Feng: "..."
"Speaking of which, Bai Xi, when the system was first activated, it said 'meets preset conditions'. Do you know what the system's 'preset conditions' are?"
Ye Feng shifted his gaze from Pipi to Bai Xi.
"I really don't know about those 'preset conditions'!"
Bai Xi spread his hands helplessly, "But I can guess that the reason your conditions are met now and the system has unlocked all its functions is likely because your strength has reached a certain level!"
"If you really want to know what the conditions are... I'm afraid only the system's creator can tell you... or someone who can understand how the system was made... As for the latter, you can only find the legendary Heavenly Script Codex... but that thing... few people have even heard of it..."
After a pause, Bai Xi spoke again.
"Alright~"
Ye Feng was a little helpless but didn't pay too much attention. After all, although he didn't know why the system was bound to him, it was ultimately giving him benefits, not harming him...
That was enough!
"Oh, right, this is for you!"
A flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and a bamboo basket materialized. Inside the basket were thirteen prism-shaped stones emitting a white fluorescence – the Stones of Hope.
"These Stones of Hope belong to your Angel race and are related to the last hope of your Angel civilization... they seem to be the key to opening the Ark of Doomsday. I happened to collect a few... along with what Lingxi and the others collected, we have all of them. Now I'll give them to you!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng handed the entire bamboo basket filled with Stones of Hope towards Ye Feng.
"You keep it~"
To Ye Feng's surprise, Bai Xi did not take it.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng was completely bewildered. "Bai Xi, these Stones of Hope are related to your Angel race, the last hope of the entire Angel civilization... you're giving them to me?"
Bai Xi looked at the Stones of Hope in the bamboo basket and smiled faintly, "These Stones of Hope are indeed the keys to the Ark of Doomsday... but for the last hope of Angel civilization... they are just a facade!"
"A facade?"
Ye Feng frowned, his expression confused.
"That's right!"
Bai Xi nodded. "The Stones of Hope are not the last hope of Angel civilization... their existence is to cover up the true hope of Angel civilization!"
Having said that, Bai Xi looked at Ye Feng with a serious expression, "Which is you!"
"Me?"
Ye Feng awkwardly scratched his head, not knowing how to respond.
"The Ark of Doomsday... even the gods know of its existence, and I even suspect... the gods have already found it through some means..."
Bai Xi sighed slightly, his expression somewhat solemn.
"The Ark of Doomsday is just a spaceship capable of long-distance interstellar travel; it cannot be considered the last hope of Angel civilization..."
"Whether it's the Stones of Hope or the Ark of Doomsday, they are all decoys to divert the attention of the gods, with the purpose of covering up the true hope of Angel civilization!"
After a pause, Bai Xi spoke again.
"Alright~"
...
The conversation with Bai Xi provided Ye Feng with a lot of information, and his thoughts were somewhat jumbled, so he went to sleep early...
...
Unlike Ye Feng and the others who were sleeping soundly, in the City of Arcana, no one slept tonight...
Because the City of Arcana was facing an unprecedented enemy. The earth suddenly cracked open, and a tsunami thousands of meters high violently struck the City of Arcana...
Under the night sky, the City of Arcana was filled with screams, wails, and the roars of various zombies...
"Sister Yan... how are you..."
Bing, covered in blood, held Yue Yan's hand, which was also covered in blood. Her eyes were red. The sounds of battle could be heard intermittently in the distance.
"Co... contact Ye Feng..."
...
The next day,
Ye Feng and his group continued to advance in the direction indicated by the Arcane Pointer.
"Um... Bai Xi, as the King of Angels, you should have very important things to do, right?"
"Is it really okay for you to follow me like this? I... I'm not sure if I can find the Creation Lamp?"
As he spoke, Ye Feng glanced at the Arcane Pointer on his left wrist and frowned.
"There is only one thing I want to do, and that is to lead the Angel race through the final Judgment Day... and you are the hope of the Angel race... Following you is better than running around aimlessly, right?"
Bai Xi smiled faintly. "Ye Feng, you don't need to have any psychological burden. No matter what happens, we will face it together!"
"Uh... alright~"
Although Bai Xi's words sounded a bit awkward, Ye Feng still nodded.
"Big brother, there's a treasure chest dropping over there!"
At this moment, a small voice rang out.
As the words fell, she had already run towards the direction where the treasure chest was falling.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng looked in the direction where Xiao Xiao was running and couldn't help but frown, because he once again sensed the unique fluctuation of divine patterns...
"By the way, Bai Xi, I forgot to ask you, do you know what's going on with these treasure chests falling from the sky?"
Ye Feng asked, looking at Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying who were running forward to pick up the treasure chests.
"Not very clear..."
Bai Xi frowned slightly. "But I guess it should be related to your system, it should be part of the 'Remnant Fire' plan... You should be able to sense the divine pattern fluctuations just now, right!"
"If I'm not mistaken... the entire Earth should be surrounded by a divine pattern array... those falling treasure chests should be executing some kind of pre-set program..."
As Bai Xi spoke, a treasure chest appeared above Ye Feng's head again. This time, Ye Feng clearly saw a fleeting divine pattern...
...
At noon,
After Ye Feng and his group finished their lunch, they were resting under the shade of a tree.
"Big brother, in the past period, there have been a lot more messages about disasters and monsters in the survivor channel..."
"The number of people posting about local customs and scenic tours has decreased drastically... many livestreams are about asking for help..."
"Many people are saying that the apocalypse is coming..."
Xiao Xiao mumbled as she looked at the messages in the survivor channel.
"Indeed!"
Ye Feng nodded. "The whole world seems to be undergoing some kind of change... a disturbing change..."
"Wait a moment, Xiao Xiao, can you scroll back and check that message about the dark sky just now?"
At this moment, Ling Xi, who was lying with Xiao Xiao, spoke, her voice tinged with urgency.
...
