After he said this, everyone carefully reviewed Shen Bai's words, and surprise washed over their faces.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Shen Bai said was likely true.
For one thing, the skeletal Deceitful Object before them radiated an eerie aura but didn't attack. That alone made his theory seem very plausible.
A grave expression appeared in Wuhua's eyes. "I think I understand what Donor Shen is saying. If it's truly as he says, then for this final trial... are we meant to face this skeletal Deceitful Object left behind by our founder?"
Shen Bai nodded. "That's my guess. But your founder also left a contingency, a way out for you."
Wuhua scratched his head. "Please speak plainly, Donor Shen. I'm honestly a little lost right now."
Shen Bai pointed behind them. "If you aren't certain you can succeed, perhaps the only true path is to return the way you came."
At these words, looks of dawning realization spread across everyone's faces.
