Chapter 318: Coming to an End
In the video, after days of mourning, Bibi Dong finally recovered from the shock of Qian Renxue's death. She then devoted herself fully to raising Keli, pouring all of her motherly love into the child as if trying to make up for the affection she had never given her own daughter.
To the outside world, she claimed Keli was her own daughter, deliberately hiding the truth from Baiyun City. The waters there were too deep, and the legacy of the Creator God was coveted by countless people. With her current power, Bibi Dong knew she could not protect Keli from being used by scheming individuals.
Thus, for all these years, the world had believed Baiyun City's ruler left behind no heirs.
Bibi Dong had never expected that all these years of secrecy would unravel just like that all because of a trip to sign a soul beast contract.
Truly, fate was unpredictable.
Back to the Present
As Sun Zhongjing suddenly appeared before them, both the Silver Dragon King and Bibi Dong were visibly uneasy.
Their original plan had been to quietly nurture Keli raising her in secret until she, like her father, reached the level of a Creator God.
Once the time was right, they had planned for Keli to return to Baiyun City in a glorious revelation, reclaiming her rightful inheritance.
A hidden rise to power, followed by a world shaking return!
That was their carefully crafted future for Keli.
Yet, today's unexpected exposure had completely disrupted their plans.
However, Sun Zhongjing simply smiled in a friendly manner, dismissing their concerns.
"There is no need to be so wary of me," he reassured them. "Given my relationship with Ye Cheng, I would never do anything to harm his only daughter."
Moreover, he pointed out that Keli represented the future of this world.
Everyone knew the Abyss would one day return.
Without a Creator God, how would they defend themselves against the terrifying Abyssal Lord?
Over the years, Sun Zhongjing and the other two God Kings had desperately tried to break past their limits, hoping to reach Ye Cheng's legendary realm.
But dreams were beautiful reality was cruel.
Some things could not be forced.
Years ago, the three God Kings had tried to follow in Ye Cheng's footsteps.
With the protection of the Ten Directions Heaven Piercing Pagoda, they had even ventured into the Sun's core, attempting to absorb its divine energy to gain enlightenment.
However, the experience only proved one thing
They were nothing like him.
For the first time, they truly understood the meaning of an insurmountable gap.
At this point, they had accepted reality with their current abilities, reaching the level of a Creator God was nearly impossible.
If they had no extraordinary luck, it would never happen in this lifetime.
Ye Cheng's sheer talent made them realize just how vast the difference was between him and them.
But now, a second such prodigy had appeared.
Keli's existence gave Sun Zhongjing hope.
As the direct descendant of a Creator God, she was born as a God King.
If she had the right guidance, her chances of reaching that legendary realm far surpassed theirs!
She was their last hope.
Thus, upon learning of Keli's existence, Sun Zhongjing was overjoyed.
He immediately suggested that Keli should be sent to Baiyun City to be properly nurtured.
After all, Baiyun City held Ye Cheng's legacy, vast resources, and unmatched conditions for growth.
Only there could Keli receive the best possible upbringing.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong wavered.
As painful as it was to admit, Sun Zhongjing was right.
The Spirit Hall could not provide what Keli needed.
Only Baiyun City, with its overwhelming resources, could support the rise of a new Creator God.
Even the Silver Dragon King had no argument against this.
No one could deny that Baiyun City controlled nearly 80% of the world's resources.
Even the Soul Beast race could not compare.
And most importantly
With Baiyun City's full support, alongside Ye Cheng's inheritance, Keli had a far greater chance of reaching the Creator God realm than if she remained under their care.
Thus, the decision was made.
Livestream Audience Reaction
[That makes sense…]
[Only Baiyun City can provide the best conditions for Keli's growth. Spirit Hall simply isn't enough.]
[The Creator God level… It's beyond comprehension.]
[I wonder how this will end… Will Keli truly become a Creator God and defeat the Abyss?]
[I doubt it.]
The audience debated fiercely, with optimists and skeptics clashing over Keli's fate.
Back in the Video
At last, the soul beast contract was complete.
Keli slowly regained her senses, waking from her dazed state.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast, however, remained within a cocoon of energy, still undergoing her breakthrough into the God King realm.
"Keli, come here."
Bibi Dong beckoned her over.
The little girl, still sleepy, skipped over obediently.
Bibi Dong knelt down and introduced her to Sun Zhongjing, instructing her to call him Grandpa.
"Grandpa, hello!"
Keli, always well mannered, greeted him sweetly.
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
Sun Zhongjing beamed, stroking his long white beard.
His eyes shone with warmth, as if looking at his own granddaughter.
"Unfortunately, I left in a hurry today and didn't bring a gift," he chuckled. "Once you arrive in Baiyun City, I'll make it up to you."
Baiyun City?
Keli's sharp ears caught the key phrase immediately.
She instinctively turned to her mother.
Bibi Dong smiled and nodded.
"We're moving to Grandpa's city," she said gently.
"Why are we moving?"
Keli pouted slightly she didn't want to leave.
This was her home, where she had grown up.
Everything here was familiar and comforting.
"Because in Baiyun City, you'll have the best training possible," Bibi Dong explained, lifting her daughter into her arms. "But don't worry Mommy, Nana, and everyone else will be going with you."
There was no way Bibi Dong would let Keli go alone.
She had already decided to move with her, staying by her side to watch over her personally.
As for Spirit Hall?
That was no longer her concern.
There were others who could manage it.
Hearing that her mother and loved ones would be with her, Keli finally relaxed.
Now, rather than feeling reluctant, she became curious about Baiyun City.
The Silver Dragon King, watching from the side, felt somewhat disappointed.
After all her efforts raising Keli, the final reward had been snatched away.
But deep down, she knew Baiyun City truly was the better choice.
Besides, the Emperor Auspicious Beast had signed a contract with Keli.
If Keli did become a Creator God in the future, the Soul Beast race would benefit as well.
Thinking of this, she sighed and accepted the outcome.
At least, after all her hard work, it wasn't a complete loss.
