A World Worth Protecting

It wasn’t their fault for making a wrong guess. Anyone else would have made the same judgment when they saw the red lightning that filled the sky after seeing a meteorite ship.

Most importantly, the red lightning didn’t seem to be aggressive. It was just a majestic presence that accentuated the spirit cruiser. As a result, the other prodigies on the other eight meteorite ships.., they began to scrutinize the people on Wang Baole’s ship.

Wang Baole and the others weren’t stupid either. They quickly realized what was going on. They felt that something was amiss, but none of them tried to resolve the misunderstanding. Instead, they remained silent, causing the misunderstanding to worsen.

As for Wang Baole, his gaze swept across the other eight ships. He felt a sense of solemnity in his heart. He took a rough look at the number of people on the eight spirit cruisers. There were about four hundred people. If he included himself.., there were about four hundred and fifty to sixty people who had entered the fallen star this time.

The weakest among them... were much stronger than the perfected Spirit Immortal realm cultivators in the outside world. He felt that they were as difficult to deal with as he had been when he hadn’t reached the perfected Spirit Immortal realm, there were also some who seemed to be on par with him. There were even a few who Wang Baole couldn’t see through.

Even though that’s how it feels, when it comes to actual combat, it’s not just one’s cultivation that determines the outcome. It’s also the Dharmic treasures and battle awareness... Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and pondered. Some of the gazes from the other eight ships.., they swept past Wang Baole as well, but he could vaguely sense that the focus of most people’s attention was on the masked woman.

As everyone sized each other up, the nine spirit boats gradually came to a halt outside the giant paper planet. Suddenly... The giant paper planet emitted an even more intense white light, it enveloped the entire area, and at the same time, a loud boom rose into the sky.

As the sound erupted, the giant paper planet began to tremble visibly. Slowly, it seemed to stretch out. From its spherical form... it stretched out into the shape of a human!

To be precise, it was a huge paper man. It looked exactly the same as the paper man in the boat, as if all the paper men were no different in appearance.

Its entire body was originally curled up, so it looked like a planet. However, as it stretched out, when its body was completely revealed, the entire starry sky trembled, and an indescribable pressure.., it was as if mountains and seas had been toppled from his body. Like a storm, it spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire area. At the same time, it was as if there were more than a thousand stars within his body, converging together to form a mighty pressure.

Just a single glance caused everyone’s hearts to tremble, and their eyes to sting. It was as if a single thought from the other party could blind all of their eyes. This feeling turned into a pressure that almost suffocated everyone!

It was partly due to the terrifying level of his cultivation, and partly due to the size of his body. Before him, the elites who had come for the training were not even ants. Only the nine spirit cruisers seemed to be on top of him, that was why they could barely be called ants!

“A mighty figure from the Galaxy!”That was Wang Baole’s judgment when he saw the gigantic paper figurine, it was the same judgment that surfaced in his mind the moment he felt the pressure. He had only felt this kind of feeling from two people. One was the blazing flame ancestor, and the other was his senior brother, Chen Qingzi.

However, even though the feelings were similar, there were also differences in strength. It was obvious that the paper figurine was not as vast as the blazing flame ancestor. Compared to his senior brother, the difference in sharpness was even greater.

Wang Baole wasn’t the only one to come to such a conclusion. The prodigies who were able to come here had backgrounds that could be considered wealthy in the entire Weiyang Dao Domain. They had seen a lot of things, so they immediately made their own guesses.

The prodigies were shocked. They retracted their gazes and lowered their heads to greet Wang Baole. Suddenly, the giant paper figurine opened its eyes abruptly, revealing a cold glow. At the same time, a voice rang out in the starry skies.

“Welcome to the meteorite gate!”

The moment the words left its mouth and reverberated in everyone’s minds, the white starry sky seemed to be affected as well. Large amounts of ripples appeared, spreading out in all directions, causing the entire white starry sky.., it seemed to have turned into a rippling sea surface!

A huge wave of white waves appeared in the distance. It kept rolling and rising, and in the next instant, it reached the end of everyone’s sight. Everyone, including Wang Baole, could not help but raise their heads, they could not hide the shock on their faces.

Even the masked woman and the other prodigies that Wang Baole had been paying attention to were stunned for a moment. It was true... that the huge wave that had been stirred up was slowly revealing its true appearance as the ripples disappeared!

It was not a huge wave at all. It was like a piece of flat paper that had been folded in half and turned into a wave!

Or perhaps it wasn’t appropriate to use the word “Folded”to describe it, because if you stood at the highest point and looked down, you would see... that in the black starry sky, the white region... was actually a huge piece of white paper!

It didn’t matter if it was a paper figurine or a meteor ship, or the 400 chosen inside of it, all of them were on the white paper, which was being folded in half!

All of this takes a bit of time to describe, but actually happened in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, the huge piece of paper was folded in half, covering the nine Starfall ships, the people inside, and the paper figurine, at the same time, the area of the white starry sky was reduced by half.

It wasn’t over yet. As the sound of the paper being folded echoed out, it was actually folded in half again. After that, it was folded again and again, and the area of the paper began to shrink, as it became thinner and thinner, its thickness also increased without limit.

As it folded in half, the white paper that eventually appeared in the galaxy suddenly turned into a white needle. It stabbed into the void, pierced through it, and disappeared!

Almost at the instant it disappeared, dozens of auras immediately descended from the depths of the galaxy in the area where the white paper had once been. They did not turn into concrete figures, but wills descended instead.., after sensing the area, they stared at the spot where the white needle had disappeared.

“It’s still the same method...”

“Even if I look at it again, I still won’t be able to figure it out. I can’t find the true location of the fallen star land!”

“I can be sure that although this seems to be related to the dark art, there’s actually no connection between the two...”

“The fallen star land is a crack that connects the Weiyang Dao domain to the outer domain...”

“There’s also that crimson bolt of lightning. It’s a bit strange... it actually went in with them?”

Each of these wills was a patriarch-like existence in their own clans and factions. They had gathered here not to protect their own children, but to see the door to the fallen star open once more, they had tried to study it from the inside.

However, it was clear that they had still failed this time.

At the same time, in the depths of the starry sky, in a starry sky filled with flames, was a gigantic planet. It looked like a majestic pill furnace, and was surrounded by hundreds of stars that provided it with high temperatures, an old man sat cross-legged at the top of the Pill Furnace Planet.

This old man was none other than Patriarch Flame. His eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened. He lowered his head and flipped his right hand, causing a voice transmission jade slip to appear in his palm. He lowered his head to look at it, then looked into the depths of the starry sky, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

“The little kid from the Xie family is asking for help? He’s asking for my help to plead for him? Isn’t he looking for the wrong person... However, I have a feeling that before Chen Qingzi kills the Moon splitting divine emperor, his little junior brother will become my disciple.”

“Chen Qingzi, Oh Chen Qingzi, this is fate. HMPH, I might not be able to defeat you, but if my premonition comes true, when you see me, how should you address me? Also, the little kid from the Xie family is asking for help. Haha, interesting, interesting. I wonder what the kid’s expression will be like when he finds out that the person he needs help from is that Kid Baole...” The Blazing Flame Patriarch couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

His laughter echoed throughout the entire raging flame star field, echoing in the minds of the countless living beings in the area. Eighteen illusory figures appeared around him, rapidly condensing into eighteen cultivators of different races, they knelt down and kowtowed to the blazing flame patriarch.

“We pay our respects to Master!”

“May I know why master is so happy?”All of these cultivators had extraordinary cultivation bases, and when they saw how happy their master was, they couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

Patriarch Raging Flame, who was sitting on the pill furnace, once again laughed happily.

“There’s a very high chance that you’ll have an additional junior brother.”As he spoke, no one noticed the grief in the depths of Patriarch Raging Flame’s eyes as he looked at his disciples.

“Your real junior brother...”
