A World Worth Protecting

After Yue Xing progenitor said those words, Wang Baole fell silent. The mask that was floating in mid-air trembled slightly. Inside the mask, Little Missy was squatting in a corner, hugging her knees and lowering her head, i Can’t see her face, but I can see her body, trembling.

Fate, huh... Wang Baole muttered. Be it his mission as the dark child or his understanding of the fate that the Xie family patriarch was skilled in during the previous battle, he was no stranger to fate.

The so-called fate was a person’s past and future. If a person’s life was viewed as a line, then this line... was in fact fate.

When he was the dark child, Wang Baole had once decided a person’s fate. Therefore, he understood very well... a person who had lost their fate meant that the front and back segments of the line were gone, leaving only a single point.

The front segment that had been lost represented the past.

The back segment that had been lost represented the future.

He understood even better... if one wanted to obtain the fate of a person’s past, one needed to be by the person’s side at all times, witnessing everything that had happened in his past.

“So, that’s how it is,”Wang Baole said softly. He recalled his many past lives and everything that had happened in this life. Suddenly, he smiled and looked at Patriarch Yue Xing.

“Is there anything else?”

Patriarch Yue Xing was silent for a moment. He shook his head and said in a low voice.

“That’s all. As a reward, I believe you have already received it from master. However, I can still agree to one more condition of yours...”

“Can you fight against the Emperor?”Wang Baole looked calmly at Patriarch Yue Xing.

“Now that my divine thoughts have reincarnated, I am powerless to do anything other than protect the Little Lord...”patriarch Yue Xing sighed softly, an apologetic look on his face.

“Fine. Do you have a supreme treasure that can carry the dao of metal or the Dao of Fire?”Wang Baole didn’t care about it. He spoke calmly.

“There is something...”after a moment of silence, patriarch Yue Xing seemed to be searching for something. After a long while, he raised his hand and grabbed at the air. Immediately, a silver ingot appeared in his hand.

The silver ingot was very small. It only looked like a few taels of silver. There was nothing out of the ordinary about it. It was very normal. However, if one used one’s divine perception to examine it, one would be able to sense that it contained a very strong aura.

“This is a treasure that I secretly exchanged for from someone surnamed Zhou in a large world. I’ll give it to you.”Grandmaster yuexing sighed in his heart. He understood that Wang Baole, who knew the truth, would definitely not be calm, however, the Little Lord was adamant about not hiding it.

This made things difficult for him, and an apology rose from the bottom of his heart.

With a wave of his hand, the three taels of silver flew towards Wang Baole. After being caught by Wang Baole, he did not check it. Instead, he threw it into his storage bag, stood up from the praying mat, and bowed towards grandmaster yuexing.

“Thank you, senior, for enlightening the puppet back then. Thank you, senior, for taking Li Wan ‘er and Zhuo Yifan in.”

With that, Wang Baole bowed once again. As he stood up, he turned his head and stared deeply at the mask floating in mid-air. Then, he turned around and walked into the distance.

I know why you appeared in my past and previous life.

I know why you were always there in that life.

I know that the so-called fate is actually a predetermined path.

I know that all of this, is the fate of this line, now, my past destiny, belongs to you.

But I do not blame, do not blame, not cold.

Thank you, when I become a white deer, to pick me up from the fall.

Thank you, when I become a resentful monk, to comfort me.

Thank you, when I become a demon blade, feed me blood.

Thank you for staring at me after I became a zombie.

Thank you for the embrace you gave me when my master died.

Thank you. Thank you for accompanying me time and time again in this life.

You have already taken away the fate of the past. I can give you the fate of the future, even if from now on, I will have no past and no future.

But... This is also good.

With every step that Wang Baole took, the smile on his face grew. After ten steps, his thoughts were clear. The dao charm in his entire body circulated, and a shocking aura erupted from his body.

The past is the Dao. It’s like Death

Wang baole laughed as he muttered. As the aura erupted from his body, a faint ripple appeared in the starry sky above his head. A long river appeared.

The long river rolled and surged. It was boundless, seemingly capable of covering the entire starry sky and connecting to Wang Baole at the end. As for its source... It wasn’t within the stone stele world. Instead... it came from outside the stone stele world.

The long river contained rules. The rules were related to time, but they were different. The rules contained only the past that had happened to Wang Baole!

This was a new rule. It wasn’t time or death. It was a dao that was formed from the fusion of the two. It was a dao that belonged solely to Wang Baole!

This dao contained Wang Baole’s past. If there were any cultivators in the future who were lucky enough to understand this dao, the improvement in their cultivation would depend on how far they could walk on this dao. It would depend on how far they could walk on Wang Baole’s past path.

That was because... This rule, this path, was created by Wang Baole. It was his past.

The moment he appeared, Yue Xing, who had a complicated expression on his face, suddenly raised his head from the cliff behind him. His eyes were filled with shock.

“A new rule has been born? The truth will be revealed when the truth is revealed?”

He wasn’t the only one who was shocked. The blood-red youth, who was battling Luo Zhi’s hand at the end of the Void, was shocked as well. He raised his head abruptly and saw the vast river extending from the void into the void, it rolled into the starry sky at the core of the stone monument realm.

“This is...”the blood-red youth’s heart trembled violently. Outside the stone monument realm, in the starry sky, the figure sitting cross-legged on the lone boat also raised his head slowly. His expression, which had never changed, was also moved at that moment.

All of this wasn’t over. In the next moment, as Wang Baole took another step forward, and as he muttered his words, another long river of laws came roaring towards him.

“The future is the DAO, as if it were alive!”

The new illusory river was also related to time, but it was also different. The endless waves within represented the future. As the changes were unpredictable, the source was within Wang Baole himself, spreading outwards, no one knew where the end was.

This was also the Dao that belonged to him alone, his future!

At that moment, two illusory rivers roared. One came from the outside world and entered the stone stele world. It had no source, only a connection with Wang Baole at the end. The other illusory river had a stone stele world at the end, one couldn’t see where the end was. The source was fused with Wang Baole.

From Afar, the two rivers seemed to run through the entire stone stele world. They seemed to have turned into one, and the one who connected them... was Wang Baole.

When I was comprehending the Dark Dao, I had already given up on sketching out the fate of all life after reincarnation. I had released my fate for everyone to control and pursue their own path of freedom.

Now... it fits my path as well.

I have to be a carefree person who has no past, no future, and only lives in the present. Wang Baole smiled freely. With a wave of his hand, the third illusory long river suddenly descended.

This river was the source of his own existence, and the end of his own existence. It was freedom, and it was..

“Carefree!”The Moon Star sect ancestor muttered.

“Carefree!”The blood-red youth’s expression was unsightly.

“Carefree!”Outside the stone tablet realm, the figure on the lone boat said softly.

“Carefree...”inside the mask, Little Missy, who was hugging her knees and lowering her head, raised her head. Her tears turned into a smile.

“Clear Dao, Palm Dao, two steps to carefree!”Wang baole flung his sleeves and stepped into the starry skies. At that moment, his cultivation exploded. His Dao Heart... Clear Dao!
