Chapter 285 Bai Xuanzi: God Realm, Should I Avoid His Edge?
In the dark world, in the squares of major cities, Soul Masters looked at the sky, and the discussions gradually subsided. All eyes were focused on Bai Xuanzi inside the Sea God Pavilion.
He remained silent, he was considering, and everyone was waiting for his answer.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, sunlight streamed through the windows onto the wooden floor, and the silence was so profound that one could hear the rustling of leaves in the wind outside.
Bai Xuanzi leaned back in his chair, and the tapping of his fingers on the armrest stopped.
He looked at Di Tian, and Di Tian looked at him. Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, the Demon King, the Crimson King—all eyes were on him.
Bai Xuanzi spoke.
"I'll help you," Bai Xuanzi said calmly, as if discussing something very ordinary. "What's the big deal? I'll help."
Di Tian froze. His golden vertical pupils widened slightly, and his previously tense shoulders relaxed. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and no sound came out.
Gu Yuena was also stunned for a moment, then her eyes reddened slightly. She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and said in a choked voice, "Xuanzi, thank you..."
"No need to thank me." Bai Xuanzi waved his hand, stood up, and stood with his hands behind his back. "Anyway, this isn't the first or second time. When I helped you break through your bottlenecks, I knew this day would come."
He turned around, looked at the sky outside the window, and continued, "If I were afraid of offending the divine realm over something like this, why would I have helped you in the first place? Helping you once is the same as helping you twice. Your affairs are my affairs."
Di Tian stood up, walked to Bai Xuanzi, and bowed deeply. His voice was low but firm: "Xuanzi, I won't thank you for your great kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Alright, alright." Bai Xuanzi patted his shoulder. "Stop with the formalities. Let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Prepare for the tribulation as soon as possible, so you can have peace of mind."
"Leave now?" Gu Yuena asked, wiping her eyes.
"Let's leave now," Bai Xuanzi said. "This kind of thing can't be delayed."
He turned and walked towards the gate of the Sea God Pavilion. Gu Yuena, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, the Demon King, and the Crimson King followed behind, and the group walked out of the Sea God Pavilion.
Sunlight shone on them, and several streaks of light shot into the sky, hurtling towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the plaza of the Dark World, the Soul Masters witnessed this scene, and their discussions erupted once again.
"Bai Xuanzi really agreed!" A Soul Master's eyes widened. "He didn't even hesitate, he agreed immediately. This is something that could offend the God Realm, isn't he afraid at all?"
"This is Bai Xuanzi," someone nearby exclaimed. "He's loyal and values relationships. Di Tian received his help back then, and now that Di Tian is in trouble, he's helping without hesitation. This kind of person is worth befriending."
"And listen to what he said," another Soul Master said. "'If I was afraid of offending the God Realm over something like this, why did I help you in the first place?' This shows that he had already thought it through. He wasn't acting impulsively; he truly considers Di Tian a friend."
"The Xuanzi of the White World is indeed unparalleled." An older Soul Master shook his head. "If it were our Xuanzi from the Black World, let alone helping Di Tian overcome his tribulation, he wouldn't even understand his own affairs. They're both Xuanzi, so how can there be such a huge difference?"
"Alright, alright, stop comparing me to Hei Xuanzi. Let's look at the sky."
All eyes were once again focused on the sky.
In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, the ferocious beasts gathered together, looking at the sky, their discussions equally heated.
"Bai Xuanzi really agreed," Xiong Jun said. "Isn't he afraid that the God Realm will cause him trouble?"
"What are you afraid of?" Crimson King: "Who is Bai Xuanzi? He's a God-King level being. Even if the God Realm has objections, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him."
"That's true, but the rules of the God Realm are there. Helping soul beasts overcome their tribulations is interfering with the mortal realm. Bai Xuanzi is blatantly challenging the authority of the God Realm."
"Let him provoke us then." King Yao said. "When has Bai Xuanzi ever been afraid of the God Realm? He even killed the Goddess of Love before, and the God Realm didn't do anything to him. What does helping Di Tian overcome his tribulation mean to him?"
"That's true." Biji: "Bai Xuanzi is a man of principle. The fact that he dared to agree means he is confident."
At this moment, Xiong Jun sighed, his tone filled with deep emotion: "No wonder we in the Bai world have such a good relationship with Bai Xuanzi. He's been willing to go to such lengths to help us, so it's only natural that we have a good relationship."
"Yes," said the Demon King, "Think about it, how much cultivation does our Di Tian have? A little over 800,000 years? Di Tian of the White World has already been around for a million years. Isn't this difference a result of Bai Xuanzi's help?"
"Sigh, the more I look at myself in the White World, the more envious I become," Xiong Jun sighed. "We over there have friends like Bai Xuanzi and allies like Shrek Academy. What about us here? We have nothing."
"Alright, alright, stop talking." Another ferocious beast interrupted it. "It's all tears if we keep talking. Let's look at the sky and see how Bai Xuanzi helps Di Tian overcome his tribulation."
The beasts' discussions gradually subsided, and everyone's attention refocused on the sky.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Above the Star Dou Great Forest, several streaks of light pierced the sky and landed steadily on an open area in the core region.
[The figures of Bai Xuanzi, Di Tian, Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, the Demon King, the Crimson King, and others appeared.]
Surrounded by towering ancient trees, the air is filled with a rich sense of life. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
[Di Tian stood beside Bai Xuanzi, surveyed the surroundings, then turned to look at Bai Xuanzi.]
"Xuanzi, what should we do next?" Di Tian asked. "Do you need any preparations? What materials do you need? Just tell me, and I'll have someone prepare them."
Bai Xuanzi did not answer immediately. He raised his head, looked at the sky, then at the surrounding terrain, and remained silent for a moment.
"No rush," Bai Xuanzi said. "Let me assess the situation first. There's still time before the tribulation; we can prepare slowly."
"If you need anything, just tell us, and we'll do our best to prepare it for you," Gu Yuena asked, stepping forward.
Bai Xuanzi nodded: "Don't rush, let me observe carefully first. Actually, dealing with ordinary lightning tribulations isn't a big problem, but I'm worried about the gods of the God Realm. If they discover that I'm resisting, they might attack Di Tian, so I need to find a way to protect him."
