A World Worth Protecting

At that moment, Wang Baole, who had been gloating over the little fatty’s misfortune, was still sitting cross-legged in the palace hall. His expression was calm, and at the same time, he ended the last cycle of cultivation.

As he opened his eyes, a glint appeared in his eyes. Under that Glint, the originally Dark Palace Hall seemed to flash like lightning.

“The level of a spirit immortal at the perfected stage has taken another small step forward... more importantly, my spirit soul has become even more exquisite than before!”Wang Baole muttered, with the help of the rich spirit Qi in the palace and the warmth the entire world had shown him, Wang Baole’s cultivation had risen to a higher level in the past seven days. He felt as if his entire body was one with his own, he also felt as if a bottle was overflowing with energy.

Even though he didn’t know much about his current state, he was still able to gain some enlightenment. He knew that he had reached the peak of the Perfected Spirit Immortal Realm!

This peak wasn’t just about his cultivation. It also included his soul. To a certain extent, it was the same as his actual body. Other than the lack of a physical body, everything else was the same.

Under such conditions, once I advance to a planet and fuse with my original body, my combat strength... will reach a level that far surpasses that of a cultivator at the same level! Wang Baole’s eyes were filled with anticipation, and the aura around him rose as well, it caused ripples to appear around the hall. As it spread, a respectful voice sounded from outside the hall.

“Young master, an auspicious time is approaching. If you have finished your cultivation, can we come in and help you shower and change?”

Wang baole sensed his cultivation upon hearing that. He stood up and waved his hand. Immediately, the door to the room opened and three paper figures walked in. They all looked like women. Their faces were delicate and pretty, and they looked like the people in a painting, there was also a warmth and gentleness on their bodies that they had never felt before. When they looked at Wang baole, their attitude was respectful but also a little shy.

This made Wang Baole blink his eyes. He wondered if his charm had increased without him being able to control it. Even the paper figurine was tempted when it saw him.

Wang baole coughed dryly and quickly spoke.

“There’s no need for that. I heard the bell chime just now. is the heaven worship ceremony about to begin?”

Hearing Wang Baole’s words and seeing his reaction, the three girls covered their mouths and laughed. Their eyes were bright, and one of them responded in a crisp voice.

“Young master, don’t be anxious. You are a distinguished guest of the Starfall Empire. You were arranged to enter with His Majesty the Emperor at the ninth chime. It’s still early, and the fifth chime hasn’t arrived yet. If you go early and wait there, wouldn’t that be a slight to you?”

“The ninth Bell?”Wang baole blinked. He felt that entering with the red-lined paper figurine seemed to be a display of his status, but he couldn’t help but ask.

“Where are my companions? What Bell did they enter at?”

“They can only enter at the fourth bell. They have to wait for his majesty and you to arrive,”the girl said with a smile. She stepped forward to bathe Wang Baole.

Wang Baole hesitated for a moment. He didn’t reject the three girls’bathing and changing clothes. However, it was different from what he had imagined. The bathing here used a type of dust, but it was very effective in cleaning, at the same time, it left behind a faint fragrance.

As for the changing clothes, it was just as the words implied. The Starfall Empire placed great importance on Wang Baole and gave him a set of special robes. The material of the Robes was paper, but no matter how one touched or looked at it, one wouldn’t be able to detect the material, instead, it had a satin feel to it.

It was white in color. Under the service of the three girls, it was finally worn by Wang Baole. The white robes made him look like a graceful young master in the contrast of his black hair. At the same time, he seemed to become more integrated with the entire world.

The bath and change of clothes took quite a long time. It wasn’t until the eighth bell chime reverberated outside that it was over. Finally, the three girls looked excited as they bowed towards Wang Baole.

“Young master, please follow us.”

Wang Baole touched the robes on his body. He was very satisfied and happy. He followed the three girls as they chatted and laughed. They walked towards the cabinet in the depths of the imperial palace.

Due to their respect for Wang Baole, the three girls told him the truth about his problems along the way. Wang Baole was very familiar with the process and details of the worship. He also noticed where he was going, it seemed to be the back door to the main hall of the imperial palace.

Based on what he knew, the worship ceremony this time would be hosted by the Starfall Emperor. The venue would be the Starfall Plaza outside the main hall of the Imperial Palace. The plaza was extremely vast and could accommodate a hundred thousand people at the same time, anyone who was qualified to enter the plaza would have to enter under different bells.

The earlier one entered, the more they would have to wait. The Starfall Emperor would be the last person to appear. His appearance would be the center of attention. It also meant that the worship ceremony would officially begin.

At the thought of this, Wang Baole couldn’t help but ask, even though he had some guesses in his heart.

“Um... are we going to the main palace of the Imperial Palace?”

“Yes, His Majesty is waiting for you there.”The girl beside him replied with a smile. She led Wang Baole to the back door of the main palace of the imperial palace. They entered through the door, and they could see a small path that led to the end of the path, that was where the main palace hall was located.

The three girls didn’t follow them after they were sent there. Instead, they bowed to Wang Baole. They didn’t get up, as if they were waiting for him to walk away before they could get up.

Wang Baole hesitated for a moment. He looked at the small path through the door, his expression solemn as he walked forward. As he stepped in, he immediately felt waves of divine senses sweeping past him. However, with just one sweep, they immediately dispersed, just like that, Wang Baole didn’t stop along the way. He walked through the passageway and stepped into the main hall of the Imperial Palace of the Starfall Empire!

He was close to the throne. With a glance, he could see the entire hall. Everything in the hall was made of paper, but the colors were bright. At the same time, be it the giant pillars or the statues around them.., they all gave off a grand feeling.

At the same time, there were more than a hundred paper figures standing there motionlessly. When they saw Wang Baole, most of them nodded slightly, their eyes filled with kindness.

“Little friend, have you had a good rest these past few days?”

As Wang Baole looked at the grand hall, a gentle voice rang in his ears. When he heard the voice, Wang Baole immediately saw the red thread paper figure that had appeared from the other side of the throne.

“Greetings, senior. These few days of training here have been of great help to this junior!”Wang Baole cupped his fists and bowed.

“That’s good. For cultivators of our generation, everything depends on the laws of fate. At the same time, the heart and intentions are also very important. Sometimes, we can’t obtain them. Perhaps it’s because the timing isn’t right, and it’s not suitable yet,”the red-lined paper figurine said with a smile as it walked over, the words it said made Wang Baole’s heart skip a beat.

“There’s a hidden meaning behind those words...”Wang Baole seemed to be deep in thought as he replied tentatively.

“Senior, there’s a saying in my hometown. It’s called ‘missing out on everything is for the best arrangement.’”

The moment he said that, the red-lined paper figurine stopped in its tracks. It seemed to have thought about those words carefully. In the next moment, a strange look appeared in its eyes. It looked carefully at Wang Baole and suddenly laughed.

“I look forward to seeing the best arrangements for you!”

“Little friend, follow me out. The heavenly worship ceremony is about to begin!”As the red-lined paper figurine said that, it walked out of the grand hall. Wang Baole suppressed his thoughts and followed it. As they walked together, there were hundreds of paper figurine on both sides, they followed behind the two of them.

Wang Baole and the red-lined paper figurine were about to reach the entrance of the grand hall. Since the main hall of the imperial palace was located much higher than the square outside, Wang Baole could see the center of the square at a glance, a giant cyan drum that was a thousand feet tall was erected!

The drum was filled with the feeling of time. Although Wang Baole couldn’t see the details clearly from a distance, he could still feel its earth-shattering aura. Just a glance at it caused Wang Baole’s heart to tremble. It was as if he saw the galaxy and the starry sky, he saw the stars that filled the sky!

It was also because of the vastness of the drum that Wang Baole’s gaze was completely attracted. He didn’t look around the square. The tens of thousands of figures stood in a neat formation that gave off a sense of density!

He also didn’t notice that the masked woman and the others, who were among the tens of thousands of figures, naturally didn’t notice that because he didn’t appear, the bell lady and the little fatty had proud expressions on their faces. The former was proud, while the latter was slightly smug.

However, that smug look quickly turned into shock... that was because at that moment, the ninth bell chime suddenly rang throughout the entire imperial palace. The bell chime was long and long, and it surpassed everything that had come before it. It turned into a tangible ripple! As it spread throughout Starfall City, Wang Baole and the Starfall Paper Emperor appeared side by side outside the main hall of the imperial palace under the watchful eyes of everyone in the square!

As they appeared, the heavens changed!
