A World Worth Protecting

Everything in the world had a cause and effect.

Every gain had a cost. Even though the magnitude of the cost was different, it was still the same. Wang Baole understood this principle.

It was just like the time he had been at the Heavenly Dharma Lord’s birthday banquet. From the beginning of the trial until now, he had naturally gained a lot. His cultivation had risen from the mid-stage of the planet to the perfected stage.

Such a heaven-defying serendipity naturally had to be paid for. Wang Baole had attempted to break out of the world to see the truth of the outside world. There had to be a huge cause and effect.

In the end, he had only succeeded halfway. He had seen part of the truth of the outside world, but he had also seen... the blood-colored centipede that was lying on the crystal coffin.

Perhaps it was the gaze that had caused the cause and effect between them. It had led to the appearance of the hand that had appeared at the end of the life of the Infernal God clan in his previous life, and the words that had been spoken.

Perhaps all of this was inevitable, but no matter what, in his previous life... due to the appearance and interference of the blood-colored centipede, there had been some unexpected variables.

But overall, his gains had been tremendous. Therefore, the price he had to pay had been raised to an astonishing degree. If he wasn’t careful, the possibility of him dying was extremely high.

It would have been fine if he had only died. However, it was clear that the other party was trying to possess him.

That was why the birthday banquet ended after Wang Baole finished watching the afterimages of the future. A large number of cultivators left, but Wang Baole... didn’t leave.

He stayed on the fated star to recuperate.

Wang Baole had resolved the crisis during the possession battle within the afterimages of the future, but the price he had to pay was shocking. It was... five lifetimes’worth of injuries!

One Life for the Celestials, one life for the zombies, one life for the resentful soldiers, one life for the hateful cultivators, one life for the white deer... these five lifetimes’worth of injuries were severe. If he didn’t fully recover, he would have to leave the heavenly fated star. That would be very disadvantageous for Wang Baole.

There was another reason why he wanted to stay. That was... the opportunity that his master, the blazing flame ancestor, had given him. He had used the crystals that he had brought with him when he had entered his previous life to increase his life force on a large scale.

Wang Baole no longer needed that. However, the words that the blood-colored centipede had said before it had disappeared were still fresh in his mind!

My origins... Wang Baole sat cross-legged on a mountain peak on the fated star. After breathing in and out the Qi of heaven and earth, he slowly opened his eyes. A profound light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He had thought about this question before. When had he appeared in the hands of the ancient remnant soul, Sun De? It was a pity that no matter how he tried to recall, he couldn’t find an answer.

Then, the face formed by the blood-colored centipede said something similar. It was curious about his origins, which made Wang Baole even more lost in thought.

That was why he had chosen to stay. On the one hand, he was treating his injuries. On the other hand, he was planning to... after his injuries had healed, he would ask the Exalted Heavenly Dharma Lord to carry out an epiphany for him in his previous life.

He didn’t want the past ten lifetimes. He wanted to see if he had existed in the previous seventy-nine restarts of the universe. He wanted to... see his origins!

That was crucial. Only when he knew his origins could he deal with the possession crisis that the blood-colored centipede would face in the future.

Wang Baole also admitted that he was already in an intense crisis as the blood-colored centipede stared at him. This crisis made him anxious. He was anxious that his cultivation wasn’t high enough, he was anxious that he could solve this problem.

After knowing my origins, I’ve found a direction. I need to focus on this direction and constantly improve myself. Only when I reach the peak of my cultivation as soon as possible can I fight against the danger of the blood-colored centipede possessing me

Wang Baole was silent for a moment. He closed his eyes and continued to treat his injuries.

Xie Haiyang and the dao protectors from the raging flame galaxy were also present. However, they couldn’t stay on the fated star. They could only wait for Wang Baole on the warship outside the fated star.

As for Li Wan ‘er, she had planned to wait for Wang Baole as well. However, she chose to leave in the end. Xu Yinling did the same. After some hesitation, she left as well.

However, Chen Han didn’t leave. He followed Xie Haiyang attentively, waiting for Wang Baole in the warship.

Time passed day by day. Three months later, with the help of the Spirit Qi in the heavenly fated star and the help of the Exalted Heavenly Dharma, Wang Baole’s injuries were finally healed!

As he recovered, his cultivation improved. Then... Wang Baole arrived at the crater where the exalted Heavenly Dharma was located. On the Empty Island, Wang Baole sat before the exalted Heavenly Dharma.

The old exalted slave stood at the side, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. He would look at Wang Baole from time to time.

However, neither Wang Baole nor exalted heavenly dharma seemed to see him in their eyes. They only saw each other.

“Since you have recovered from your injuries, do you wish to bid farewell this time?”Exalted Heavenly Dharma asked softly.

“I wish to bid farewell as well as make a request.”Wang Baole’s gaze was clear as he looked at exalted Heavenly Dharma.

As if he had guessed what Wang Baole wanted to say, exalted Heavenly Dharma fell silent.

Wang Baole didn’t continue speaking, nor did he urge him. He remained silent.

The old slave exalted, who was standing beside him, felt an itch in his heart. He thought about it, but he couldn’t figure out what Wang Baole’s request was. Now, he only felt that the two people before him seemed to become more unfathomable as they spoke.

After a long while, exalted heavenly dharma sighed. He looked into Wang Baole’s eyes and spoke seriously.

“This life is different from the past. You Don’t have to leave. Staying here is the safest.”

“I’ve made up my mind. Please agree to my request, Exalted Heavenly Dharma.”Wang Baole stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed deeply to exalted heavenly dharma.

There was a complicated look in exalted Heavenly Dharma’s eyes as he looked at Wang Baole. Vaguely, he seemed to see a little white deer walking carefully towards him from outside the courtyard. When it saw him, it stared at him curiously.

“I can not guarantee that you will be able to see all of your past lives. I can only gather the guiding light of the entire book of Destiny and send your consciousness back. I am not sure how much you will be able to see, what you will be able to see, and what dangers will happen

“Also, I have to remind you that the dangers that exist in your past life are a form of cognitive mystery. That is to say... If you can not see, perhaps some dangers will never appear. On the contrary... you should understand.”

Wang Baole fell silent. He naturally understood, because he had thought that if he had not forcefully charged out of the world and seen the blood-colored centipede, the other party would not have appeared.

Wang Baole did not know what the answer was.

However, he knew that he would rather understand the existence of no regrets than a muddled and confused existence.

“Please help me!”Wang Baole took a deep breath and bowed again.

The Heavenly Dharma Lord closed his eyes and opened them abruptly after a long while. He raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the crystal that he had given to Wang Baole flew out and floated in front of the two of them. The crystal emitted a bright light, in the next instant, the light exploded and spread out like waves in the surrounding area.

As it spread out, the Heavenly Dharma Lord formed a seal with his right hand. The Book of heavenly fate behind him materialized. The pages on it shone with a gentle light. From the back to the front... They began to flip!

Every time a page was flipped, the Exalted Heavenly Dharma Master’s body would tremble, and Wang Baole’s soul would also shake. Gradually, as the pages flipped one by one, until the eleventh page from the bottom was flipped open, and just as he was about to flip through it.., wang Baole’s body shook violently, and his consciousness began to sink.

He continued to sink, until at a certain moment, he disappeared.

He sat cross-legged, and it was as if all that was left of him was his body. His soul was nowhere to be found. The Exalted Heavenly Dharma opposite him also had his eyes closed. His body shone with a vast light, and the surrounding heaven, earth, and the entire fated star seemed to tremble, it was as if they were all trembling.

The exalted old slave was even more shocked. This was the first time he had seen such a scene. He looked at Wang Baole, then at the Exalted Heavenly Dharma, and finally... his gaze fell on the fated book behind the Exalted Heavenly Dharma.

He looked at the book and slowly flipped the pages!

Page seventy-nine, page seventy-eight, page seventy-seven..

Every time he flipped the pages, the closed-eyed exalted Heavenly Dharma would speak.

“Seventy-nine.”

“Seventy-eight.”

“Seventy-seven.”
