"Are you really determined to go to the Ninth Valley?" The True God suddenly spoke when Yuan and Lev prepared to depart.
"That's right. Why? You wanna come with us?" Yuan asked.
The True God fell silent for a moment before nodding, "I still have questions that need to be answered, so I'll follow you for a bit. I also want to see if the situation in the Ninth Valley has gotten any better or worse."
"If you want to follow us, go ahead," said Yuan.
"By the way, do you have a name?"
"You can call me Duk."
"Duck, huh," Yuan repeated, unaware that he'd misheard the name. Yet, he wasn't corrected.
They started making their way towards the Ninth Valley together shortly after.
Over the next several days, they sensed the presence of multiple True Gods. However, most of them didn't even bother approaching, and those who did suddenly turned back halfway for some reason.
"Thanks for sending them away, Senior." Lev suddenly said to Duk.
