Chapter 471: The Wisdom of All Beings.
Just as the Flying Rainbow Sword was about to strike Silver Dragon King, it suddenly froze in mid air, refusing to move. Bai Yue was momentarily stunned but quickly realized why after all, artifacts have their own will, and how could they possibly harm their master's family?
Silver Dragon King, by bloodline, was technically his foster mother.
Since the sword wouldn't strike her… could it still be used to cut down the other two?
Bai Yue attempted to redirect the artifacts toward Sun Zhongjing and Neptune, but then something unexpected happened.
The two divine artifacts completely broke free from his control!
Like sentient beings, they floated away, drifting farther and farther, as if searching for a new master.
Bai Yue stood there in silence, watching the artifacts leave him, and finally muttered, "Foster father… do you also think I'm wrong?"
Seeing the artifacts abandon Bai Yue, Silver Dragon King, Neptune, and Sun Zhongjing immediately halted their attacks.
With Bai Yue now unarmed, their victory was guaranteed.
And since they had the upper hand, they refrained from attacking a distracted opponent after all, Bai Yue was still their comrade, someone who had fought to protect Douluo for centuries.
They didn't want to kill him only stop him.
They understood that Bai Yue's intentions had never been evil, but the risks of his plan were simply too great.
A network that could connect all human souls?
Who knew what kind of disaster that could lead to?
It was too dangerous to allow it to continue.
After a long silence, Bai Yue regained his composure, his expression unreadable.
"Bai Yue, even the artifacts have left you," Sun Zhongjing said. "Isn't that proof enough? Just stop this."
Bai Yue remained calm, shaking his head.
"You lack vision," he said. "I will prove that everything I am doing is right."
Seeing that negotiation was futile, the three God Kings exchanged glances.
There was only one option left.
They had to subdue him as quickly as possible before he did something irreversible.
If Bai Yue chose to go down fighting, the battle could devastate Douluo.
They couldn't take that risk.
With that, the three God Kings launched their attack.
But then…
Bai Yue did not resist.
Instead, he slowly stretched out his arms, as if preparing to embrace something unseen.
Even the audience watching the video was confused.
"What is he doing…?"
And then
A blinding light erupted.
The entire sky was consumed in a brilliant, divine radiance.
A massive figure formed behind Bai Yue, towering over the heavens.
At the same time
The sun itself grew even brighter, shining with an unprecedented intensity.
"This… this is impossible!"
"No way…!"
"It can't be!"
Silver Dragon King and the others were stunned.
The divine pressure radiating from Bai Yue was too familiar.
It was the exact same power as Ye Cheng.
But Ye Cheng was already dead…
How could Bai Yue possibly wield his power?
Could this mean that those wild rumors were true?
Could Bai Yue actually be…
Ye Cheng's biological son?
The video suddenly cut to space.
A gigantic phantom appeared in the cosmos, its sheer size making Douluo seem like a toy in comparison.
It looked exactly like…
Ye Cheng.
Under Bai Yue's command, the astral figure extended its hand, slowly closing its fingers around Douluo.
Then
It squeezed.
BOOOOOOOOM!!!
A deafening explosion rocked the world.
The screen was engulfed in white light, obscuring everything.
For what seemed like an eternity, the screen remained blank.
When the light finally faded, the camera returned to Douluo.
Silver Dragon King, Neptune, and Sun Zhongjing…
Were nowhere to be seen.
Only Bai Yue remained, standing alone.
He softly muttered to himself:
"To continue my plan, the three of you will have to remain imprisoned for a while."
"Once my work is done, I will release you."
His words implied that the three God Kings had been sealed away, completely unable to resist.
[What the hell just happened?!]
[He defeated three God Kings in an instant?!]
[No… he didn't just defeat them he sealed them away!]
[How is that possible?!]
[Seriously… Bai Yue has to be Ye Cheng's real son, right?!]
[There's no other explanation! How else could he summon Ye Cheng's power?!]
[That has to be the divine power flowing through his bloodline!]
[Like father, like son… it all makes sense now.]
The audience erupted in debate, convinced that Bai Yue must be Ye Cheng's hidden child.
In the video:
After sealing away the three God Kings, Bai Yue vanished from the battlefield.
In the next instant, he reappeared in White Cloud City.
More specifically
He arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
There, he finally met with the current ruler of White Cloud City
The Goddess of Light, Keli.
Even after centuries, Keli still looked like a little girl, her appearance unchanged.
Despite her age, she still had the mind of a child, making her easy to deceive.
At that moment, she was happily playing with a new toy
A sword with a white jade hilt and a crystalline blade.
It was none other than…
The Flying Rainbow Sword.
Seeing this, Bai Yue's eyes flickered with understanding.
He had already suspected it, but this confirmed his theory
The artifacts had returned to their rightful owners.
The Flying Rainbow Sword was with Keli.
And the Ten Directions Pagoda…
Was most likely with Kanna.
Bai Yue didn't try to take the artifacts back.
After all, they belonged to Ye Cheng's true heirs.
And besides…
He had already obtained something far more powerful than those artifacts.
His gaze shifted to Keli's left ear.
There, she wore a Void Terminal.
Bai Yue smiled faintly.
It was through Keli that he had accessed Ye Cheng's power.
By borrowing her divine energy, he had activated the power Ye Cheng left behind in this star system…
And with that power, he had effortlessly defeated three God Kings.
