He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Valhalla.

Alania laid out the footage she had recorded before everyone and spoke in a rather complicated tone.

"I know this is hard to believe, but it is indeed what I saw. If you need any more evidence, I have some belongings that I managed to retrieve."

As she spoke, Elania scattered a large pile of objects in the center, most of which were strange objects and artifacts, as well as a few things that even they did not recognize.

As Xie Bai's belongings were laid out before him, Atoris was the first to stand up.

"So, my lord was killed by that guy who looks so much like him?"

"Yes, you could say that. And not only do they look very similar, but their authority is also exactly the same—both are void."

"Okay, I understand."

Atoris nodded.

Alania's last words were already quite tactful.

There is no such thing as duplicate authority in the world. If the same authority appears in one person, it can only be said that the other person took it from the original owner.

Despite this, Atoris's expression remained calm, but his index finger resting on the table trembled uncontrollably.

From the moment she sensed the divine connection being severed, she kept deceiving herself that Xie Bai might be trying out some new ability and had deliberately severed it.

It wasn't until Elania laid out all the images and belongings in front of her that she was forced to accept this fact.

"Oh, right..."

Atoris suddenly raised his head.

Do you know what the other person's name is?

"Uh, this..."

Alania was momentarily at a loss for words.

She can simply use all light as her field of vision, making it easy to gather intelligence, but that doesn't mean she can see through other people's secrets at a glance.

Atoris understood this too; she had just asked to see if Elania might actually know something.

But Alania's hesitant look only proved that she was overthinking it.

Seeing that the other party couldn't answer, Atoris didn't press the matter further and instead turned his attention to Ivy, who had been keeping her head down.

"I've always had a question: why have you been keeping your head down and not saying a word ever since the footage was shown?"

"Do you... know something?"

Upon hearing this, Ivy was instantly startled.

"Uh...! No, no, I'm just a little too shocked, and I don't know what to say for a moment..."

Seeing Ivy's uneasy appearance, Atoris did not ask any further questions.

Her initial feelings were similar to those of Ivy, so she could understand Ivy's explanation to some extent.

Although we didn't like each other very much before, we're still family, so there's no need to be suspicious of each other at this critical juncture.

Moreover, the current situation is far from ideal.

The World Tree is afflicted with disease, black mist pervades the air, the knights have collectively rebelled, the Base Cube has devoured many continents and skies, and the Void is showing clear hostility...

If they were to exclude Ivy from the three ruling parties at this point, it would be as if they wanted to die even faster than expected.

"Fine, let the knights betray us. We can't rely on the Void that much anyway. At least the Hall of Heroes and the Wheel of Fate are still intact, and the three of us rulers can stand on our own."

Artoris suppressed his emotions and tried to sort out the current situation.

"In short, things shouldn't get any worse than this. If we can unite with those people from the original Blue Star region, things should be alright..."

Before he could finish speaking, Atoris's pupils constricted sharply as if he had discovered something unbelievable.

Upon seeing this, Elania immediately realized that something was terribly wrong and hurriedly used her authority of light to check where the problem had occurred.

"etc…"

Alania's expression changed, and she looked at Ivy with some hesitation.

"Why did Hildi and the others lead the entire Witch Guild to break away from Valhalla and instead seek refuge with... the Void?"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Ivy was momentarily stunned.

She quickly realized that the atmosphere was extremely strange; Atoris and Elania were both staring at her, as if questioning her…

No, it's questioning her!

The fact that Ivy was once a member of the Witches' Guild was not a secret among them.

Since the witch has caused problems, she is bound to be suspected.

"Um... I don't know why either! You all know the Witches were wiped out 30 million years ago, and I... I... I've lived alone ever since, and I'm completely out of touch with them in many ways!"

"Hey! You guys...you guys, please don't look at me like that! This really has nothing to do with me, believe me, please believe me!"

Ivy tried her best to explain her innocence, but she was extremely flustered and clumsy, almost to the point of tearing up.

"alright."

Atoris reached out and stopped Ivy.

"We believe this has nothing to do with you, but judging from your demeanor just now, you must know why they betrayed Valhalla. Would you be willing to tell us about it?"

"This…"

Ivy choked up.

She did understand why Hiti and the others betrayed Valhalla at this time, and in fact, she had already anticipated this situation after seeing the images Elania brought back.

Things happened much faster than she expected, leaving her unprepared.

To be precise, she had no idea how to prepare.

"I, I..."

Ivy hesitated for a moment, but when she thought of how trusting Atori had been with her just now, she finally decided to explain.

"Well, it's not really a secret anyway. If you're willing to study those fragmented histories, you should be able to find that the title of Void King actually existed in the past."

"But at that time, the title belonged to someone else, named..."

Ivy hesitated for a moment.

In her mind, images from the past resurfaced, finally settling on a cake with candles on it.

"Hi~ Happy birthday! You'll be 12 years old today. So, what do you want for your birthday this year?"

"Hmm? You want to know some of my little secrets? Uh... wait a minute! Don't cry, don't cry, I promise, okay?"

"Alright, I'll tell you something I've been keeping to myself for a long time."

"The name 'Bai' has always belonged to someone else, not me. As for my own name... well, it's not that I can't tell you, but remember not to tell anyone else, otherwise, this won't be the little secret you want."

……

Tian Shang Shan.

Inside the dark hall, Naya sat in a well-lit room and contentedly finished a large cup of fruit tea.

"Hmm... It's definitely more comfortable living in modern society, even the drinks have so many kinds."

Naya shook the empty cup in her hand, and just as she was considering whether to go out for another walk, Xiaoqiu suddenly climbed onto her shoulder.

"Hmm? You said you've searched for all of them, including the little witch... Wait, but not for Ivy?"

"Chirp chirp...!"

"But she's already celebrated her birthday once with the little one by her side?"

"Chirp."

"I see. Then I'll refrain from bothering her until her next birthday. I hope she's still happy with the little one."
