The Celestial Venerable's Curtain? Oh no! I've become an NPC!

A deep red flash appeared before "Shael's" eyes. After successfully sneaking into the gray fog space, he was still a little confused. He obviously did not expect to be able to come up, and it seemed that coming up was not of any use.

"disturb..."

Just as he was about to offer his usual polite greetings, a wide curtain fell directly down from above, enveloping him.

"This is?"

"A celestial curtain? How is that possible?"

"Shael" stared wide-eyed, instinctively feeling fear. However, before he could react, he was completely enveloped by the curtain. The writhing flesh seemed to be burrowing into his flesh, and an ancient and savage aura began to grow.

"It's... over..."

Just as "Shael" was preparing to die, he suddenly paused, wondering why he was still alive despite having so many thoughts running through his mind.

He opened his eyes and looked down. Although the Heavenly Venerable Curtain covered him, he couldn't blend into it, and even felt that it might slip off at any moment.

"Ha~ Hahaha~"

"Hahahahaha!"

Looking at the Heavenly Venerable's curtain of effort, "Xia'er" couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. Seriously, he was all prepared to be raped, but the other party couldn't get hard.

Hahaha~

What clown~

The sudden ambush startled "Shael" so much that he forgot he had no physical body, was not a spirit, but a pseudo-virtual personality existing only with the power of the "Magic Mirror," a person in the mirror. If the Celestial Venerable wanted to resurrect him, it would be more reliable to just pick a complete spirit from the gray fog.

"Did the Gray Mist not abandon me, number two, because of the Celestial Curtain?"

"That's true. No matter what the method is, once the curtain is drawn, it's all the fool's method."

After laughing for a while, "Shael" reached out and stroked the black velvet curtain, which felt very nice to the touch.

Just as he was thinking about how to make use of this "Level 0 Sealed Artifact", a repulsive force suddenly came from the gray mist space.

"So realistic?!"

This time, "Shael" realized what was happening, which made the elf somewhat angry and flustered.

It bit the Heavenly Venerable's curtain, and sang the song "Know Me," using the song to establish a connection between itself and the sealed object. Then, it recklessly consumed its stored spirituality to begin grafting, trying to graft itself onto the gray mist.

"You can throw me and the Heavenly Venerable Curtain out together!"

"The second-generation creator has just died!"

"Let's see if you can be resurrected in this era!"

"Shael" clung tightly to the Celestial Venerable Curtain, refusing to let go. Within his body, the divine song recorded by the demigod was strengthening his connection with the Celestial Venerable Curtain, helping him to pry open a little bit of the power of this "Level 0 Sealed Artifact." A chaotic tide flashed in his eyes.

The gray fog space did not stop repelling "Shael" or transferring the Celestial Venerable Curtain out. Instead, it seemed to be going with the flow, wanting to throw "Shael" out along with the Celestial Venerable Curtain.

Just as "Shael" and the Celestial Curtain were about to be pushed out together, in the real world, the mirror of Arodes suddenly reflected a dark, chaotic ocean. Shael, who was meditating with his eyes closed to recover his spirituality, did not notice this.

Above the gray fog, "Shael," whose body was detached by half and who almost dragged the Heavenly Venerable Curtain out with him, gradually lost consciousness.

In a daze, he felt himself being carried on a stretcher over mountains and across plains, and the Heavenly Venerable Curtain, which was the focus of the struggle, was almost torn in two.

His spirit completely dissipated, assimilated by two forces, submerged in the gray mist, and turned into an insignificant fragment of dust in the fog of history.

Time is like the tide, rolling in and rolling away.

When Xia Buran regained consciousness, it was as if he had just taken a nap. The fragments of his dream were incredibly chaotic and long, but as he woke up, they all turned into bubbles. The more he reached out to grab them, the more he could only see the bubbles burst.

"How long did I sleep?"

"Didn't I want to sneak into the Gray Fog?"

All it remembered was that it had tried to use Arrodes' power to transfer its spirit to a "virtual personality" and then see if it could ascend into the gray fog.

"Has this been a success?"

"Where is the Heavenly Venerable's curtain?"

Looking at the empty gray fog, Xia Buran glanced around but found no trace of the invaluable "curtain".

"Could it be on the second floor?"

Driven by instinct, it headed in one direction, wanting to step onto the Stairway of Light and go to the second level of the gray fog. However, when it reached the place where the Stairway of Light should have appeared in its memory, nothing appeared.

It's very strange, like walking up to an automatic door and it's still tightly closed, as if it hasn't detected anyone coming in.

"The Gray Fog Space doesn't recognize those who aren't from the Three Schools of Ghosts? I've already come up here, so why isn't it a non-class-restricted area?"

Xia Buran was somewhat disappointed, but not so disappointed. Since there was nothing he could do now, he would just wait. He would wait for Xia Er to pray to the gray fog and convey the bad news to Xia Buran, and then he could consider returning with his memories.

Sure enough, among the countless crimson stars, one crimson star was constantly twinkling.

"So eager?"

It smiled, reached out and touched the deep red star, but there was no reaction.

"I knew you were going to pull this stunt."

"Xia Buran" made an accurate prediction; its choice to smuggle itself out was clearly premeditated. "Vast and majestic, yet the visitors laugh at me; all that I desire, all that comes can be obtained..."

With a thought, the Elven language background music "Know Me" began to play. This song was carefully prepared by it. Each Elven singer has a different effect due to their different characteristics. Those who reach the demigod level have an even more thorough grasp of the power of their voices.

The main extraordinary ability of "Shael's" singing voice is to establish a spiritual connection with the target. While playing background music, it transforms into a lucky charm and flies into the constantly flashing crimson star.

This is its purpose: to establish a connection with the crimson star that symbolizes itself through song, and then to transform this mirror image created by the power of Arrodes, along with a portion of its spirituality, divinity, and mental power, into a curse that changes its destiny and flies into its crimson star.

In this way, it will still have the opportunity in reality to connect with the luck-changing rune above the gray fog through its own luck-changing rune, and leave itself a small backdoor above the gray fog.

After "Xia Buran" became a luck-changing rune, the gray fog that had previously ignored it finally reacted. The luck-changing rune seemed to have a certain connection with the gray fog space, thus providing the most basic guarantee for the charging and maintenance of this little backdoor.

This lingering image from a thousand years ago, having fulfilled its obsession, departed contentedly, returning to its place of origin.

After it left, the gray fog space returned to silence, and it was unknown how much time had passed before this space welcomed a new visitor.
