Chapter 912 opens with Luo-zheng's conversation with the ghost. He tells the ghost that he must wait for him. The ghost tells him to sink or swim, but he says that if he does, he will definitely die. He says that the young people are getting bolder, but his sister is also in the same place, so they should not be too afraid. He wonders if there is some treasure in the place, but the ghost says that he can't find it. He thinks about the other gods who have come before him, and he thinks that they are all the same. He feels like he is going to die if he doesn't leave the place. The other gods seem to be trying to eat him. He is afraid that he will be swallowed by the centipede. He asks if the light circle is a time channel, and if he has landed in a time of the past, then he should be able to find his way out of this place. He notices that the figure is waving at him, but that he has just walked into the desert. He wants to check it out. He hears han-chuyue saying that the meru rings on the skeleton are magical tools, and that they can save the wearer's life. He also hears that the skeleton is a great perfection god from the clan of swords. He speculates that it will take several divine ages for a god to be reduced into a skeleton.
