đź“– Chapter 1194 - Violet Gold Submits!
After a while, when the well was about to collapse completely, a cautious, even fearful voice filled with complicated feelings rang out from inside.
“Greetings, Underworld Child. I must beg your forgiveness. We will immediately sever all contact with this Underworld Eye.”
“I am not your Underworld Child.” Wang Baole replied calmly. Without giving the other party a chance to speak any more, he flicked his sleeve, causing the well on Pluto to instantly disappear without a trace.
Wang Baole’s clone didn’t linger here, disappearing in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already back on Earth, deep under the sea. Years ago, he had found and sealed several sets of ruins here. At the moment, he was in a place even deeper than those ruins, staring at… a skeleton.
This skeleton looked like a giant submerged in the mud of the seabed. After Wang Baole’s clone appeared, he stared at the giant skeleton for a long time before turning and leaving.
When he was going around sealing passages in the past, he didn’t come to this place. However, his current self could clearly see that there were many passages leading from this skeleton to the Unorthodox Holy Region’s Moon Star Sect, where Li Wan’er had gone.
He had once thought that all the anomalies on Earth had been sealed, but as it turned out, this place was still operational.
However, whether this place was sealed or not no longer mattered. There were still more than 40 years left until his appointment with the Moon Star Sect’s sect leader, so Wang Baole just left the skeleton alone. His clone disappeared, and his true self inside his house slowly opened his eyes.
The Dao aura that filled the solar system was different from divine sense. Divine sense could more or less only be used to look, but as his Dao aura fused with the solar system as a whole, he could simultaneously watch his old friends and feel the emotions of all living things.
Zhao Yameng’s cultivation base had advanced rapidly. Zhou Xiaoya was still as elegant as before, and her cultivation base had reached the Soul Conduit Realm. The same was true for Liu Daobin, Lin Tianyou, and Du Min.
However, with the exception of Zhao Yameng, the others couldn’t be considered to have improved much in terms of cultivation base.
“Zhuo Yifan and Kong Dao are with Li Wan’er in the Moon Star Sect. I wonder how much their cultivation bases have advanced.” Wang Baole shook his head. As his Dao aura filled the solar system, he could sense some subtle conspiracies germinating in the Federation.
Most of these conspiracies revolved around struggles for power, and some were even propped up by the Divine Eye Civilization in secret. Although the Federation seemed peaceful, there were countless hidden schemes and conflicts taking place beneath the surface.
Originally, Wang Baole didn’t want to bother with these things.
After all, there was no such thing as a gathering with only one voice. As long as intelligent beings gathered together, there would inevitably be competition among them.
This sort of competition wasn’t a bad thing, and could even be considered beneficial to a certain extent. However, that was only as long as it didn’t cross a certain bottom line.
And at this moment, there was a conspiracy supported by the Divine Eye Civilization that was attempting to cross this bottom line. Wang Baole’s eyes immediately flashed with cold light.
"Scheming against my sister?"
In the outside world, Wang Baole was known as a ruthless person who killed decisively without wavering at all. He was ruthless to others, and he was even more ruthless to himself. Thus, even though the Federation was his hometown, if anyone dared to try and cross his bottom line… he wouldn’t show them any mercy just because they were weak.
His parents didn’t know, and even his old friends didn’t know, but there were some things Wang Baole could see very clearly as his Dao aura fused with the solar system.
Indeed, someone was plotting against his sister, and their target was clearly Wang Baole himself. On the one hand, they stoked his sister’s rebellious nature, and on the other, they were constantly changing the friends who gathered around her in hopes of having one of them win her affection.
It didn’t matter who thought of this plot, whether it was the Divine Eye Civilization or anyone else. In any case, the perpetrators had already drawn Wang Baole’s killing intent.
At the moment, he could see dozens of spirit stone-powered motorcycles revving and roaring on a track to the east of Ethereal City. The young men and women there were racing against each other, occasionally letting out cheers. They looked happy and full of pride as they enjoyed themselves there.
Among them, the fastest was actually his sister. After she reached the finish line, more than twenty young men crowded around her, asking for tips and subtly trying to get closer. There was also one young man who looked distant and aloof standing a short distance away. Wang Baole noticed that his sister often snuck glances at this young man, and when she did so, her heartbeat accelerated slightly.
It would be fine if this young man really was just distant and aloof by nature. However, although his seemingly standoffish attitude could fool inexperienced teenagers, he couldn’t hide anything from Wang Baole. Wang Baole clearly sensed the young man’s self-satisfaction, as well as his anxiety and the hint of coldness hidden deep within his eyes.
Through his Dao aura, Wang Baole could see several threads behind the young man. Most of these threads were dim, but one of them shone brightly. It led out into the starry sky, toward the group of planets allocated to the Divine Eye Civilization.
Wang Baole couldn’t be bothered to take a look at the specific person the thread led to. Retracting his gaze, he transmitted a message to his sister’s mind.
“Come home and see me!”
At the moment, Wang Baoling had just lifted her head and taken off her motorcycle helmet, shaking her hair proudly. Surrounded by the crowd of youngsters, she was like a bright pearl in the dazzling sun. She was about to speak, but when Wang Baole’s voice reverberated in her head, Wang Baoling abruptly turned stiff.
Her complexion instantly paled. Although the voice in her head was completely unfamiliar, it seemed to resonate with her bloodline, and she instinctively knew who was speaking.
Wang Baole… she had heard this name over and over all her life. Ever since her earliest memories, she already knew that everything she had was all because of this name. It was because of this name that throughout the Federation and even the entire solar system, her status was extremely special.
She wasn’t afraid of her parents in the slightest, but she had always held an indescribable awe toward this brother of hers whom she had never met.
Thus, the proud and arrogant Wang Baoling shuddered and turned around to get back on her motorcycle. Face pale, without even taking the time to say farewell to her friends, she sped back home.
Her companions were left confused and bewildered, staring in befuddlement as she disappeared into the distance.
With the fastest speed possible, heart thumping and mind going blank, Wang Baoling returned to her house. Her body trembled as she hesitatingly opened the door. There, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure sitting in the living room.
As soon as the door opened, Wang Baole lifted his head and looked at his sister. This time, he stared at her very carefully, checking to see if any conspiracies were involved in her birth. After making sure that his sister bore no abnormal karma and had really been born to his parents in the normal fashion, Wang Baole withdrew his gaze.
When Wang Baoling sensed his gaze, her complexion turned even paler. Her eyes were full of fear and unease. She didn’t know what to say, or even what to do, and could only stand at the door without taking a single step.
“Come in and sit down.” Wang Baole said eventually.
“Oh.” Wang Baoling quickly nodded and obediently walked into the house. After taking a seat, she lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak. If her parents woke up and saw this, they would have been incredibly shocked. This unruly daughter of theirs had never shown such a side of herself before.
Seeing his sister so afraid of him, Wang Baole secretly shook his head. He could tell that Wang Baoling’s natural talent wasn’t anything special. He opened his mouth to speak, but at that moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up at the starry sky.
His gaze seemed to cross the entire solar system in an instant. In the starry sky outside the solar system, a huge vortex suddenly appeared, and a figure flew out with a rumble.
The scenery on the other side of the vortex was a bright starry sky filled with violet light. It was… the Violet Gold Civilization.
The person who flew out of the vortex was naturally Patriarch Violet Gold. Outside the solar system, Patriarch Violet Gold had an incomparably solemn and respectful look on his face. Cupping his fists, he bowed deeply.
“I, the master of the Violet Gold Civilization, request to meet with Senior Wang. After discussion, the Violet Gold Civilization has reached a conclusion regarding Senior’s previous words. Senior, you offered us an opportunity to prosper, and we would like to take that opportunity. To that end… we are fully willing to submit and integrate with your Federation!”
