âItâs a responsibility,â replied Unknown White 1-30.
Song Shuhang was puzzled. â???â
âAfter each cycle of reincarnation, we descend in the form of the ancient gods to activate and maintain the concept of the ancient gods in this world to ensure that its inhabitants never forget. Thatâs the purpose of our existence,â explained Unknown White.
In a way, they acted like thorns and maintained a level of suffering to keep the worldâs creatures in a certain state.
Song Shuhang fell into a contemplative silence.
âSo, the beings in this world have been in a cycle of reincarnation all along?â he asked.
âYes,â confirmed Unknown White.
âAnd how many cycles of reincarnation have we been through?â inquired Song Shuhang.
âWe⊠I canât recall exactly,â responded Unknown White wearily. The beings in this world had been cycling through reincarnations, and the Unknown Whites hadnât participated in the process.

âSenior Song, did you learn anything?â Black-skinned Soft Feather asked when Song Shuhangâs expression turned grave.
Song Shuhang recounted his conversation with âUnknown Whiteâ and the revelations about the seal.
âItâs becoming clear.â Pavilion Master Chu nodded. âAside from these âUnknown Whites,â all the living beings in this world are also part of the seal.â
âSo, what exactly is this ancient god sealed in this world? Why did they have to pay such a high price to seal it? Couldnât even Master Bai deal with it?â pondered Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet in confusion.
Perhaps this ancient god held significant meaning in its existence, which was why Heavenly Axiom White hadnât chosen to erase it but had gone to such lengths to leave behind 33 Unknown Whites to collaborate with the worldâs inhabitants in sealing it?
âIf thatâs the case, arenât the beings in this world quite pitiable?â Lady Onion remarked softly.
Endless cycles of reincarnation while constantly living out a predetermined âscript.â
Lady Onion couldnât help but empathize with their plight.
âThey volunteered⊠Becoming part of the seal and entering an endless cycle of reincarnation was their own choice,â Unknown White suddenly replied to Song Shuhangâs message.
âŠIt seemed that the Unknown White could hear the conversation between Song Shuhang and the pendants.
They appeared to be omnipresent.
âWillingly?â Song Shuhang nodded. Once a choice was made, one had to accept the consequences, no matter how bitter they might be. People were responsible for their actions, and if they courted their own destruction, they would meet itâa matter of karma.
âSenior White, why did you choose to contact me? Is it fate?â Song Shuhang inquired further.
Since the Unknown White was part of the seal, Song Shuhang wondered why they had contacted him and helped him elevate his Thirty-Three Divine Beastsâ Technique.
Was it fate?
Perhaps it was due to his frequent interactions with White, but Song Shuhang had a mysterious sense that all the Senior Whites in the universe were somehow connected to him by fate.
âFatigue. Weâre tired⊠Or Iâm tired.â Unexpectedly, it was Unknown White 23 who replied.
Song Shuhang was rendered speechless.
It was like getting slapped in the face.
âSo, Senior White and the others want me to undertake the task of sealing the ancient god? You want me to stimulate the beings trapped in the cycle of reincarnation on your behalf?â Song Shuhang asked.
âThatâs what Number 23 thinks. Some of our members may share the same thoughts,â replied Unknown White 1-30.
âBut I have a nobler idea.â Unknown White No. 1 chimed in.
If it werenât for the fact that the numbers after âUnknown Whiteâ changed with each reply, Song Shuhang might have thought he was conversing with a Senior White with split personalities.
âSenior White, please go on.â
âI am the only one who realizes that the seal on the ancient god is nearing its limit. The number of beings in the cycle of reincarnation is dwindling. After the last cycle, many beings entered an eternal slumber and didnât awaken,â Unknown White 1 explained.
âWhy didnât we know about this?â questioned Unknown White 2-30.
âSo, Iâm 1, and you guys are 2-30,â replied Unknown White 1.
Song Shuhang remarked, âIndeed, the ancient god is about to awaken.â
Upon entering this world, White Twoâs automatic fortune-telling system had provided a clear hint: the dormant ancient god in the small world was on the verge of waking up, and all the worldâs inhabitants would become its sacrifices. The method Song Shuhang needed to confront the fat ballâs clone was hidden in this small world. It appeared that Unknown White 1-33 could potentially be his stroke of luck.
âIn that case, Senior White No. 1, what do you expect from me by contacting me?â Song Shuhang inquired.
âThe revival of the ancient god is inevitable, which renders the seal meaningless⊠I wish to transfer all the beings trapped in this worldâs cycle of reincarnation. Their sacrifices have been sufficient. Itâs time to set them free,â declared Unknown White 1.
It sounded⊠logical.
However, a thought suddenly crossed Song Shuhangâs mind. Quick-witted individuals could entertain peculiar notions at times.
âWhat if Unknown White 1 is the ancient god?â
This notion lingered in Song Shuhangâs mind.
If all the beings in this world were transferred, the seal on the ancient god would vanish and allow it to break free easilyâŠ
Song Shuhangâs mind raced with possibilities, and he couldnât shake this unsettling idea.
âSenior White, what can I do in this situation? Iâm not powerful enough to transfer all the beings in this world,â Song Shuhang replied with a composed tone.
âNo, you can do it,â responded Unknown White 1 with unwavering confidence.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
âThat data is the source of all beingsâ reincarnations. You only need to obtain the complete data package to collect all the beings,â Unknown White 1 explained.
As Song Shuhang contemplated this, his imagination ran wild. He envisioned a day in the future when heavenly tribulations would descend, and a university student named Song Shuhang would step forward, leading an entire world and billions of souls, confronting the heavenly tribulation head-on. The group would transcend the tribulation momentarily before being cremated, with over a billion participants. What kind of reaction would the heavenly tribulation lord have if the transcending group numbered over a billion?
As he visualized this scenario, Song Shuhangâs heart trembled. He struggled to maintain his stoic expression as he replied, âBut arenât Numbers 31-33 the last part of the seal?â
âWe have a way for you to contact Numbers 31-33,â replied Unknown White No. 1.
