After reading the system's memories, the prophet was silent for a long time before softly uttering a sentence.

"Very interesting memory."

The system said nothing.

The prophet didn't seem to care about its silence. He took a few steps inside the house: "I am trapped in this temple and can never get out. This place is like a cage, with walls everywhere, no matter where I go. Cold."

He turned sideways and looked at the system on the black crystal wall: "I really envy you."

The system remains silent.

The prophet suddenly suggested: "How about we make a deal? I will give you the position of the prophet, and you will give me the position of the prophet. I will follow her to see the outside world, and you will stay in this temple. Enjoy supreme power.”

The system didn't expect him to say such a thing at all, and couldn't help showing a look of astonishment: "Are you kidding me?"

"I'm serious. As long as you nod, we can exchange identities immediately."

The system twitched the corner of its mouth: "You still said that I didn't follow the rules. I found that you were crazy and even more ridiculous than me."

The prophet smiled: "I have stayed here for too long, and I am really tired of it."

"Aren't you afraid of taking the opportunity to occupy your body and take away everything from you?"

"You can take all of this away, as long as you are willing to exchange Slowness for it."

The system stared at him, as if to see clearly what he was thinking.

The prophet accepted its inspection calmly and waited quietly for its answer.

After a long silence, the system finally said, "No."

"Why?"

"Slowness is more important to me than anything else."

"But she will die soon," said the prophet.

The system's expression changed slightly: "How do you know?"

"What she can see with the mask of precognition, I can also see. Don't forget, I gave you that mask."

"Do you know who killed her?"

"I don't know who the murderer is," the prophet said quietly, "but I can save her life."

The system perked up and said, "Please save her!"

The prophet said meaningfully: "I can save her, but you..."

Slowly finally woke up.

She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. It took a while before she gradually came back to her senses.

"you're awake?"

Slowly looking around, I saw the prophet standing next to the black crystal wall. There was a figure on the wall, and that figure looked exactly like the prophet.

They are like twins, no difference can be seen.

He was stunned for a moment: "What are you..."

The figure on the wall moved: "We were talking about something just now."

He slowly and hesitantly asked: "Are you, Xiaoba?"

"Sure enough, if you have something to do, call me daddy, and if you have nothing to do, call me Xiaoba. You girl is so good at changing the situation."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan was immediately sure that the other party was the system. She immediately got up and walked over: "Why did you appear on this wall?"

The prophet said: "This wall can be connected to the dream. We have seen the performance in your dream just now through this wall, and Xiaoba can also be displayed through this wall."

Slowly trying to think back, she probably didn't say anything bad about the prophet in her dream just now. Then she felt relieved and asked, "Have I passed the test?"

"Yes, passed."

Xuanyuan was very happy and stretched out his right hand: "Xiaoba, I passed the test!"

The system also extended its right hand: "Congratulations."

There was a tap of their hands across the wall.

Slowly looking around: "Where are the others?"

The Prophet said: "I sent them all back."

"Then let's go back. It's getting late. Bai Di and the others are still waiting for me at home. If we go back too late, they will be worried."

The prophet said: "It's getting late. You might as well sleep here one night and go down the mountain tomorrow morning."

She slowly declined his kindness. She didn't like this cold temple. She would definitely lose sleep if she stayed here overnight.

She insisted on going down the mountain to go home, but the Prophet did not force her to stay. He said, "I will send you down the mountain."

"How can I ask you to take me down the mountain in person? I can just walk down by myself."

"The mountain road is very long and the night is very dark. It's not safe for you to walk alone, and I don't worry about it either."

After hearing what he said, Xuanyuan could only say: "That would be too troublesome for you."

"Let's go."

He slowly looked back at the system on the wall: "What about you?"

"Of course I'm leaving with you."

After the figure on the wall disappeared, it turned into a ball of pale golden light and penetrated into her body.

Slowly touched his chest: "Xiaoba?"

The system's voice sounded in her mind: "Yeah."

Knowing that it was back, Xuanyuan immediately felt at ease.

The prophet had already walked out of the door. He turned back to look at Xuanyuan: "Why don't you leave yet?"

"I'm coming!" Xuanyuan quickly followed.

The prophet walked in front, slowly following behind him.

The two of them walked out and met many attendants on the road. They faced the prophet, knelt down silently, and saluted respectfully to greet him.

Along the way, she could barely see the faces of the orcs. Every time she noticed the other person's presence, the other person had already knelt down, with his forehead pressed tightly to the ground, leaving only the top of his head exposed for her to see.

The journey down the mountain was very long. She walked slowly down the stairs. She originally thought that going down the mountain would be much easier than going up the mountain. But what she didn't expect was that she had only walked less than a third of the way and she was so tired that she felt dizzy. Legs shaking.

She put her hands on her knees and looked at the endless stairs in front of her, breathing heavily. She really wanted to roll herself into a ball and roll down from here.

The prophet walking in front noticed that the person behind him had stopped. He also stopped and turned to look at her: "Can you still hold on?"

Slowly panting, "I-I need a break."

The prophet said: "It's getting late. According to our speed, it will be dawn by the time you come down the mountain."

"But I really, really can't walk."

"Let me carry you down."

"Ah?" Xuanyuan opened his eyes in surprise.

The prophet stretched out his hands, picked her up and walked down steadily.

The distance between the two people suddenly shortened, and Xuanyuan felt a little uncomfortable. Even though they were very close, his facial features were still perfect without any flaws, almost not like a real person.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Xuanyuan kept chatting without any words: "Everyone seems to admire you."

"Um."

He slowly asked, "What are your usual hobbies?"

"No."

Xuanyuan was surprised: "Don't you even have any hobbies? What do you usually do most in the temple?"

"Meditation."

Blinking slowly: "Meditation?"

"It means thinking. Sometimes I think about the meaning of our existence, the speed of time passing, our past, present and future..."

Slowly blushing: "What's the use of thinking about these things?"

"It is said that as long as you think through the meaning of life and time, you can touch the gods."

"Is there really a God in this world?"

"God is in your heart. If you believe in it, it is real. If you don't believe in it, it is just a symbol."

"What you said is so mysterious, I can't quite understand it."

"You will understand slowly in the future."
