A World Worth Protecting

Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he watched the unassuming young cultivator respectfully hand the drumstick in his hand to the bell lady. A dark glint flashed across the depths of his eyes.

In that instant, a memory of the past appeared in his mind, as well as... a person in that memory!

“The Dao of Stars?”Wang Baole muttered to himself. He suddenly realized where his sense of familiarity came from. If he thought about it carefully, the bell lady in front of him was somewhat similar to the Moon King’s wife from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, she was very similar.

However, there were still many differences. The former was too heavily marked, while the moonlit king’s wife back then had a dao of planting stars that was almost invisible and could replace the will of heaven!

As Wang Baole stared at her, the drumsticks in the hands of the ten of them shone with a bright light. The power of teleportation was activated. This meant that the trial was over, and it also meant that the ten of them.., were qualified to obtain the ultimate opportunity!

The final step they could take, and the planet they would obtain, would depend on their own luck.

As for the others, although they didn’t succeed in obtaining the drumsticks, they understood that it wasn’t easy to obtain the opportunity in the land of the fallen star. They had come here to fight for it. Even if they failed, they would still be able to obtain an immortal planet as the base of the planet after they returned to their respective sects and clans, at the very least, they would still be able to obtain an immortal planet as the base of the planet.

Just like that, as everyone’s thoughts floated about in the air, teleportation light shone brightly, enveloping the entire world. Rumbling sounds could be heard as all the figures in the area gradually faded away.

In the next instant, when everyone’s vision became clear again, they had already left the trial by fire and appeared at the location of the Guild Hall that the fallen star empire had arranged for them. In fact... everyone was actually in their own rooms.

It was just like how they had been in their own rooms more than ten days ago, waiting for the first trial. It was as if nothing had changed. It was as if everything that had happened was just a dream.

Wang Baole was stunned as well. He looked at the drumstick in his hand, then quickly looked at the familiar rooms around him. Then, he lowered his head to look at his storage bag. When he realized that the number of red crystals in it hadn’t decreased, he heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the voice of the paper figurine, which had appeared before every trial, reverberated in everyone’s minds.

“Congratulations to the ten little friends from the outer realm who have obtained the star guiding drumstick. You have seven days to prepare. In seven days... The Starfall Empire will begin the heavenly worship ceremony. When that time comes, it will be the time for you to... strike the heaven-reaching drum and trigger the Stars!”

A glint flashed in Wang Baole’s eyes. When he heard those words, waves of emotions rose in his heart. He knew very well that if everything went well in seven days, he would definitely be able to step into the planet-grade!

What level will my planet be at... Wang Baole’s heart was filled with anticipation. The goal he had set for himself was at least an immortal planet, preferably a special planet!

I have to fight for it even if I have to go all out! Wang Baole took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began meditating.

According to his plan, he didn’t plan to go out for the next seven days. He wanted to be at his most perfect and optimal state during these seven days, to face the planet’s opportunity.

At the same time, outside the fallen star, in the endless starry skies of the never-ending Holy Region, a giant planet made of steel was exuding an astonishing pressure as it whizzed through the starry skies.

There were many cultivators on the steel planet who were busy with their work. Occasionally, they could hear the roars of wild beasts coming from within the planet. If one looked at it from a distance.., the steel planet was even more like a gigantic oven.

The cultivators were like engineering soldiers, maintaining the operation of the steel planet. At the same time, the booming sounds and roars of wild beasts coming from within the planet continued without end.

All the cultivators who passed by in the starry sky, regardless of their cultivation base or even the almighty stars, had their expressions change when they saw the steel planet, and they lowered their heads to avoid it.

All of this was because this steel planet... was a direct descendant of the Xie family, and their cultivation base was at least at the star realm... and it was a unique vehicle!

As a business family, not only did the Xie family have all sorts of unorthodox forces, but they also had their own system. While some of them were purchasing from the outside world, they could also produce and sell their own products. As for this steel planet.., to a certain extent, it could be considered a huge factory. Magical equipment was being manufactured from it at all times.

At that moment, inside the iron planet, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes was holding a jade slip and shouting nonstop.

“No. 3 furnace, you haven’t eaten yet. Turn it on with all your might!”

“No. 9 molten pool, you, you, you, you, you’re all trash! Turn it off! !”

“And the number of gold rocks. I’ve already told you to store enough of them. Trash, trash, trash! !”

The middle-aged man’s eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have forgotten himself as he gave the order, causing the entire planet to begin to Rumble in the way he wanted.

In front of him, there was a young man who was sitting there weakly. His eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at the middle-aged man. He wanted to say something several times, but was ignored by the middle-aged man.

In the end, the veins on the young man’s forehead bulged, and he seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. He suddenly jumped up and rushed to the side of the middle-aged man. He snatched the jade slip from his hand and threw it on the ground, he roared loudly.

“Old Xie! Ancestor! ! Grandfather! ! ! Can you just listen to me for a moment? ! ! !”

“Little Brat, I’m your father, not your grandfather. What do you mean by calling me grandfather? !”The middle-aged man glared at the young man.

“If you can just listen to me for a moment, I can call you big brother...”the young man let out a long sigh. Seeing the hostility in the middle-aged man’s eyes, he spoke quickly.

“Father, Chen Qingzi is about to escape. Why aren’t you in a hurry? With Chen Qingzi’s unreasonable temper, he will definitely come looking for you after he escapes. At that time, the old ancestor won’t have any conflict with Chen Qingzi because of you...”

“What kind of situation is this? You’re still thinking about forging artifacts! !”

This young man was Xie Haiyang, and the middle-aged man was naturally his father.

Hearing Xie Haiyang’s anxious words, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.

“What’s the use of being afraid? Besides, aren’t you the one who’s anxious? It’s enough that you’re anxious. Anyway, your father’s life is in your hands. If you have the ability, then resolve it. If you don’t have the ability, then I’ll accept it!”After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he raised his right hand and grabbed the jade slip that Xie Haiyang had thrown on the ground. Just as he was about to continue giving orders, Xie Haiyang became anxious again.

“Old Xie! You’re my father, I’m not your father. You, you, you... why do you always rely on me? We’re going against each other!”

“What else can I do? If you can’t solve it, then leave quickly. Staying here is an eyesore. All these years, I’ve always thought that if your mother hadn’t taken advantage of my artifact-refining fatigue to sneak in, I would have been better off by myself.”The middle-aged man had an impatient look on his face, he glared at Xie Haiyang.

“You, you, you...”when Xie Haiyang heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Therefore, he flicked his sleeve and turned around to leave.

Looking at Xie Haiyang’s back, the middle-aged man’s eyes revealed a touch of gentleness. He seemed to be sighing in his heart. However, before he could hide the gentleness in his eyes, Xie Haiyang suddenly turned his head. The father and son couldn’t help but look at each other.

“Old Xie, take care!”

“Get lost quickly!”

Xie Haiyang took a deep breath. This time, he did not turn his head. After leaving the core control room of the steel star, his eyes revealed a look of determination. He directly took out a voice transmission jade slip and adjusted his mood, he tried to speak a few more times to adjust his voice, causing his voice to be anxious but not lacking in calmness. After it was filled with determination and determination, he sent out a voice transmission.

“Senior Blazing Flame... Junior Xie Haiyang, are you here?”

“Um... I’m sorry to disturb you. I wonder if you’ve thought about what I asked you last time?”

“Senior, if there’s anything you need, just say the word. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely do my best! !”

With that said, Xie Haiyang took the voice transmission jade slip and waited nervously. He waited for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Just as his nervousness grew stronger and he resisted the urge to ask more questions, the voice transmission jade slip.., suddenly, the languid voice of the blazing flame patriarch rang out.

“Little Xie, there’s nothing I can do to help you with this matter. As you know, Chen Qingzi is not a reasonable person.”

When Xie Haiyang heard this, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and his eyes dimmed. The Blazing Flame Patriarch was the only person he could think of who could speak to Chen Qingzi. However, the other party’s reply made his heart feel empty, however, just as he was at a loss, the voice of the blazing flame patriarch came from the voice transmission jade slip again.

“However...”
