A World Worth Protecting

Time passed. Wang Baole had no idea how much time had passed, but his consciousness had yet to awaken. This seemingly long period of time was actually less than a day in the heavenly fated star trial.

Twenty hours had passed on the tenth day. Eleven hours had passed, and less than two hours were left until the end of the trial.

Compared to Wang Baole, there were a few other cultivators who had successfully comprehended the tenth life and had ended it. However, since Wang Baole hadn’t woken up, the trial continued, the fog around them hadn’t disappeared either.

He was the only person who hadn’t woken up in the fog trial.

Xu Yinling, who was sitting in front of him, had a huge wave in her heart. Her expression had changed like never before. It was everything she had seen in the past eleven hours, her shock turned into shock, then shock. In the end, she was filled with fear and respect.

She hadn’t successfully comprehended the tenth life, so she could clearly see the entire process of Wang Baole’s comprehension. She didn’t see the scenes from his previous life. Instead, she saw the fluctuations and changes in Wang Baole’s aura as he sat cross-legged!

At the beginning, Wang Baole’s aura had been dim and almost non-existent. This had even given Xu Yinling the illusion that it wasn’t a living person sitting cross-legged, but a corpse.

Perhaps it wasn’t appropriate to describe him as a corpse. It was more appropriate to describe him as a dead object.

In her eyes, the Wang Baole at that time was no longer a person, but an object. This feeling was very clear, and even Xu Yinling herself was shocked.

She didn’t know what Wang Baole’s previous tenth life was, so countless guesses surfaced in her mind. However, before she could guess for long, Wang Baole, who was sitting cross-legged like an inanimate object, had a new change in his body.

The change was slight, but it was very clear. It was as if an inanimate object had given birth to a spirit light, gradually turning into a dazzling light. During the process of the change, the surrounding fog began to rumble, as if Thunder had exploded, it even began to spin. If one were to observe carefully, one would be able to see that the fog was spinning with Wang Baole at its center.

It was as if the appearance of the spirit light on his body had affected the entire area of the fog, and even the fated star. Xu Yinling didn’t know how much of the area had been affected, but she could feel the earth shaking!

This caused Xu Yinling’s heart to change from shock to shock. She didn’t know what kind of Epiphany from her previous life had caused such a shocking change. The shock didn’t last long either. As new changes appeared.., waves of shock surged in her heart, and her thoughts rose to a level of shock.

That was because... the spirit light on Wang Baole’s body grew stronger. As the fog, the heavens, and the earth seemed to continue shaking, Wang Baole’s expression changed, and his facial features twisted, it was as if he was enduring unimaginable pain, and his body was trembling.

That was not the main point. The main point was that as his expression contorted, Xu Yinling saw with her own eyes cracks that could be seen with the naked eye appear on Wang Baole’s body... like a spider web, appearing in an instant.

It was as if... His body was being squeezed by an indescribable force, about to be crushed!

As the cracks spread, the spirit light on Wang Baole’s body grew stronger. In the end, he seemed to have become a huge source of light, causing Xu Yinling’s eyes to sting when she looked at him.

This made her heart tremble even more intensely. Not long after, as more cracks appeared and the spirit light grew brighter, a new change appeared on Wang Baole’s body!

A force that... shocked Xu Yinling and caused her body to tremble erupted from Wang Baole’s body. Instantly, Xu Yinling’s mind went blank, as if she had lost all consciousness, all that was left was the force that caused her to become ethereal before her eyes!

In this ethereal state, her instinct was to worship, as if a mortal had encountered an immortal God!

Xu Yinling had the dao star status, but even so, she was still lost in this state. One could only imagine how indescribable the aura and waves emanating from Wang Baole’s body were!

Fortunately, the aura didn’t last long. The entire process only lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It slowly retracted, and everything returned to normal. Wang Baole’s body regained its vitality, and the cracks disappeared completely.

Xu Yinling also slowly woke up from her ethereal state. However, the moment she woke up, her scalp felt numb, as if it was about to explode. Her body trembled uncontrollably. She lowered her head and realized that she had actually kneeled down and worshipped Wang Baole.

This... this... Xu Yinling trembled. She didn’t even dare think about the reason and the answer. Her instincts told her that everything she had seen in that instant just now.., had to be buried deep in her heart.

She knew very well that her dao star had a very high status. Even Wang Baole’s Dao Star couldn’t surpass her in terms of status. However, with such a high level of dao star status.., compared to the aura on Wang Baole’s body in that instant just now, it was far inferior. Just like Wang Baole in that instant just now, his entire body seemed to have gathered the will of the entire world.

It was a very strange feeling. It was purely an instinctive feeling, but it shocked her to the point of awe. It was as if she had seen... the center of the universe!

“I don’t dare think deeply, I can’t think deeply...”Xu Yinling mumbled. Her body trembled intensely. It was also at that moment..

Wang Baole had woken up.

Wang Baole felt as if the universe had broken apart. It was as if the void was blurry. It was unknown how much time had passed, but at that moment... his consciousness returned and he opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with confusion. It was as if he couldn’t see the fog in front of him, nor could he see the cautious Xu Yinling. What he saw... was the life of Sun De, the storyteller, and... The endless darkness of the void.

It wasn’t Sun De’s perspective, but the perspective of the black wooden board in Sun De’s hand that had accompanied him for his entire life. He saw the hand that was holding him, saw the smug look on the young Sun De’s face, and heard himself being picked up, when he knocked on the table, a clear sound rang out.

This sound accompanied the entire story of Luo Yugu.

At the same time, he saw Sun De’s legs being broken in the wind and rain, the tears that flowed as he struggled in the rain, and heard the wails coming from his mouth.

There was also sun de in his later years, the madman who was immersed in the story, and the last bit of dignity..

It wasn’t until the appearance of the father and daughter, until the descriptions of the subsequent stories, until... His body was crushed, and he witnessed... the final dissipation of the ancient remnant soul.

The moment sun de disappeared, his shattered self seemed to have inherited something..

Wang Baole was silent. After a long while, as he exhaled deeply, his eyes slowly became clear.

“What is passed down is the unspoken unreconciled and regretful obsession of Gu... The Demon’s obsession is that there are few reincarnations, and the demon’s mandate is to seal the Heaven Mountain and sea. I don’t know who started the eternal chant, and the demigods and demigods are upside down,”Wang Baole muttered, it was only when he regained his clarity that he realized that in his previous tenth life, he was not sun de, the storyteller, but the black wooden board in his hands.

At the same time, he also understood that in this world, regardless of whether it was real or fake, regardless of whether it was a book or a nursery rhyme, in reality... it was just a stone tablet.

He also knew that the Weiyang here was not the real Weiyang.

Although he knew a lot of the truth, there were still many new questions that followed. For example, where was the real Weiyang? For example, whether his involvement with Wang Yiyi in his later lives was related to this life.

Also... what was that blood-colored centipede..

And... His future.

All of this made Wang Baole fall silent. He felt complicated. On one hand, he knew the answer to the world, and on the other hand, it was also because of his previous life.

The black wooden board, huh... Wang Baole muttered to himself and mocked himself. He felt that to a certain extent, he might have been born by chance, and the artifact spirit was not the child of fate that he once thought he was.

So what! After a long while, Wang Baole’s eyes lit up. He didn’t care about his previous life. He only knew that in this life, he... was called Wang Baole!

This consciousness emerged firmly in his heart. The light in Wang Baole’s eyes intensified. It was as if his cultivation and will had resonated. A buzzing sound reverberated in his body. The gift of enlightenment from his previous life exploded instantly!

However, at the moment his cultivation exploded, a question suddenly appeared in Wang Baole’s mind!

Something’s Not Right

Why Can’t I remember when I appeared in Sun De’s hands
