A World Worth Protecting

In the starry sky, as the paper galaxy continued to fold in half, and when it completely disappeared from everyone’s sight, in another void, the world before Wang Baole’s eyes changed abruptly.

It was still the vast sea of paper, but it was no longer black, but white. As for the sky, the Sun, and even the flying birds and seagulls, they were all familiar paper-like existences.

A kindness that came from the will of the entire world emanated from heaven and earth and from all living things. It filled Wang Baole’s surroundings, as if he was delighted and welcoming.

Waves rose from the Sea of paper around him, as if they were worshipping him. This feeling made Wang baole feel comfortable inside and outside his body, and it was even more intimate.

“Welcome back to the land of the fallen stars.”Wang Baole turned his head. He was no longer in nothingness. Instead, he was in a boat. The paper figure paddling in front of him was the one he was familiar with back then, the paper figurine turned its head and looked at Wang Baole.

“Senior, how have you been?”Wang Baole took a deep breath and cupped his fists in greeting.

The paper figurine grinned and cupped his fists at Wang Baole as well. Then, it paddled on the paper pulp and broke through the waves. A gust of wind blew against him, blowing up Wang Baole’s hair. Then, it didn’t leave. Instead, it stayed around him, it turned into gentleness, as if it was dancing.

Wang Baole smiled. After returning to the fallen star, he felt the kindness of the world. He felt an unrestrained freedom and safety. He decided to sit on the deck of the ship. He raised his right hand and took out a bottle of ice spirit water, he looked at the world around him. In his comfort, he drank one mouthful after another, as if he was drinking alcohol.

“We have an important guest visiting. How can we let him drink alone?”Wang Baole had only taken a few gulps when a voice reverberated around him. The waves churned again, and a paper figurine rose from the surface of the sea. Step by step, it walked onto the ship, it stopped beside Wang Baole, and it raised its right hand and extended it towards Wang Baole.

Even though the paper figurine looked similar, Wang Baole could already tell at a glance that the paper figurine walking towards him was the first emperor of the Starfall Empire who had been in his storage bag back then.

When Wang Baole had obtained the Dao Star and left the Starfall Empire, the first emperor had chosen to stay behind. He had stayed deep within the sea of paper to guard the newly sealed mouth of the mirror vortex.

Looking at the first emperor’s outstretched hand, Wang Baole stood up with a smile and bowed. Then, he took out a bottle of ice spirit water and handed it over. Wang Baole wasn’t worried about whether the first emperor would be able to drink it. To a mighty figure like the first emperor.., the body was just like clothes. It wasn’t important.

That was indeed the case. After receiving the ice spirit water, the first emperor of the paper figurine raised his head and took a big gulp. Just as he was about to let out his usual sigh after drinking, his expression changed. He lowered his head and looked at the ice spirit water in his hand carefully, then, he looked at Wang Baole.

“What is this? It’s So Sweet.”

“Is it good? This is my favorite drink. In the entire universe, only the federation produces it. It’s called Ice Spirit Water.”Wang baole blinked and looked at the paper figurine.

The paper figurine remained silent for a few breaths as it silently tasted the ice spirit water in its hand. After a long while, it curled its lips and placed it aside, looking at Wang Baole.

“You’re early.”

“Senior, you don’t seem to be surprised by my arrival?”Wang Baole smiled upon hearing that.

“When you left that day, I had a premonition that one day, you would return to this place and search for the whirlpool beneath the Sea of paper.”

Wang Baole didn’t say anything immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the Sea of paper. The whirlpool at the bottom of the Sea of paper was one of his goals for coming here.

He wanted to verify whether the whirlpool was the same one he had seen in his first life, the one that had appeared in the three-foot-long black wood. However, he didn’t plan to go now. He wanted to break through on his own, he would explore it once he reached the star realm.

After some thought, Wang Baole turned to the emperor before him and cupped his fists slightly.

“I have come to seek permission from the Emperor and the Starfall Empire to summon a special planet and... upgrade to a star here!”Wang Baole’s expression was solemn as he looked at the Emperor of the paper figurine generation.

“It’s a small matter. How many do you need?”The Emperor of the paper figurine generation asked in a relaxed tone. On one hand, Wang Baole was a benefactor to the Starfall Empire. On the other hand, he had an impressive background. Naturally, he wouldn’t reject such a request, after all, there were more than ten thousand unique planets in the Starfall Empire. It wasn’t a big deal to give some away.

“This... is about ten thousand?”Wang Baole asked in a low voice, a little embarrassed.

”...”the first emperor of the paper figurine fell silent. He picked up the ice spirit water that he had placed aside and took a big gulp. He couldn’t help but ask.

“Are you sure you only need to upgrade to a star?”

“I plan to use the tens of thousands of unique stars as embellishments. As I transform them into a starry sky, my dao star will be raised and my dao star will break through and evolve from a planet to a Star!”Wang Baole knew what he was asking for, basically, he had emptied out about ninety percent of the capital of the Starfall Empire. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he added another sentence.

“If there’s anything that you need me to do, please tell me. Also... If you can’t give me that much, I can give you less... that’s fine too...”

“I can make the decision if it’s less than a thousand, but if it’s ten thousand... I’m no longer in charge of the current Starfall Empire... That’s why even though I want to give it to you, I can’t make a decision. The emperor is here. You can ask him yourself.”The first emperor of the paper figurine cleared his throat, he looked into the distance as if he was trying to shift the blame. Naturally, Wang Baole realized that something was wrong. He felt a headache coming on. As he pondered how he could get the other party to agree, he raised his head and looked over. Soon, they saw more than a hundred paper figurine charging towards them from the distance.

The paper figure in front of them was the current emperor of the Starfall Empire. The ripples from the galaxy around him were extremely powerful. He landed on the ship as he took a step forward and smiled at Wang Baole.

Wang Baole greeted him with a smile. He hesitated for a moment before saying the same words as before. The Emperor of the Starfall Empire hesitated as well. He exchanged glances with the first generation patriarch and fell silent for a moment, it was obvious that he was in a difficult position. He was about to decline politely.

However, at that moment... The Sky, which had been bright during the day, suddenly rumbled. Distorted ripples reverberated in the sky. It was as if a white curtain had been lifted by someone, revealing the Black Sky!

In the sky, the light of the stars rapidly materialized. When the stars of all levels were added together, the number exceeded a million. It spread across the entire starry sky. Faintly, the will of the entire meteorite land came from within, it seemed to have turned into a voice that reverberated in the minds of Wang Baole and the two emperor paper figurines.

“But!”

The reverberation of the will caused the two emperor paper figurines to look at each other again. The current emperor had an awkward expression on his face.

“Baole, Don’t blame me for hesitating earlier. It’s really...”

“What’s there to hesitate about? I’ve already said that there’s no problem with this matter. Wang Baole is the benefactor of the meteorite empire. His request is worth a hundred thousand, let alone ten thousand. We are all willing to repay his kindness as a person!”The first generation elder of the paper figurines was obviously thick-skinned, he was the same age as the first generation paper figurine ancestor. Therefore, after sensing that the entire world’s will had agreed, he immediately spoke with a solemn tone and reprimanded his junior at the same time.

“You’re right, ancestor.”The current emperor of the star Meteor Empire smiled bitterly when he heard that and bowed to the first generation emperor. The first generation emperor coughed and waved his hand.

“Baole, I’ll give you this starry sky. I don’t ask for anything else. I only hope that one day, when you have the strength and opportunity to truly enter the Vortex, you will bring me along!”His tone was rather magnanimous. Wang baole blinked his eyes, he suppressed his laughter and hurriedly thanked him. At the same time, he nodded his head seriously. After agreeing to the matter, he took a deep breath and didn’t wait any longer. He leaped into the air and headed straight for the starry sky!

In the eyes of the surrounding paper figures, Wang Baole was like a shooting star. As he flew continuously into the starry skies, his dao star appeared outside his body.

The dao star expanded rapidly. In an instant, it reached a terrifying level. The nine ancient stars around him materialized as well. They seemed to be cheering, but they also seemed to be yearning. They accompanied Wang Baole and merged into the starry skies.

In the starry sky, the countless starlight dimmed automatically. It seemed like they didn’t dare compete for Glory. They seemed to be paying their respects, but they also seemed to be suppressing their excitement. It was as if they possessed a certain level of intelligence. They could sense... this opportunity.., to them, it was an opportunity for the stars to transform!

When Wang Baole’s figure completely merged into the starry sky, his voice suddenly reverberated.

“Please bear witness that I, Wang Baole, will be promoted to a star here today!”

As soon as he said that, the millions of stars in the starry skies seemed to be excited, and they shone brightly!
