Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"So this is the Shen Wu Xian Zhou...."

Bai E stood before the porthole of the Hang Jian; the golden crack on his face extended from his temple all the way down to his jaw.

Through the porthole glass, a super celestial body — or rather a colossal warship — loomed before his eyes.

Its volume could hardly be summed up with the two words "planet" anymore.

One felt that Weng Fa Luo Si's size, in front of this giant warship, was like a loli.

"When the Shen Wu Xian Zhou was born it was indeed small, but after many years of development it is now the seat of the imperial capital, the Xian Zhou Zhong Shu, and so is naturally incomparably vast."

Lai Gu Shi stood at his side, hands behind his back, doing the work of a guide for Bai E.

Bai E gave him a cold look: "Lai Gu Shi, don't forget the promise you made to me. Otherwise, I'll cleave you in two with a single sword stroke."

"Lord Bai E, I naturally would not forget our promise."

Lai Gu Shi nodded slightly, his etiquette impeccable, but he has never been the sort to be casually manipulated.

He turned his head to look at Bai E, his tone still unhurried, "The fate of Weng Fa Luo Si is in your hands. You do your best."

"Hmph! If you die, you'll be truly dead." Bai E dropped those words, turned, and walked toward the porthole on the other side.

Lai Gu Shi smiled and did not reply.

Bai E switched to another window, braced both hands on the sill, and continued gazing at that dense starry sky outside.

Hang Jian, Fei Shuo, single-pilot combat wings — some resembled ships, some a drawn sword, some were outright humanoid, mixed into the Xing Hai like an unclassifiable parade.

Too many.

He very much wanted to record all of these and go back to share them with the partners of Weng Fa Luo Si.

The moment the two words "partners" came to mind, Bai E's gaze changed instantly.

Stifling, as if something were being dragged out from the deepest part of his chest.

He had just taken on the memories the previous cycle left him, and learned the full truth of the re-creation.

After entering this cycle, he walked numbly along the predetermined path of seizing the fire seed and re-creation.

Then Lai Gu Shi appeared.

Hatred — sky-covering, earth-enveloping hatred — made him want to draw his sword and split the mechanical body before him in two right then and there.

He of course knew Lai Gu Shi was merely a segment of code; killing him would only bring countless more Lai Gu Shi, but hatred never negotiates with logic.

"A chance to save Weng Fa Luo Si — do you want it?"

Just that one sentence.

He set down his hatred.

Lai Gu Shi gave him a condition he could not refuse, and absolutely must not refuse.

Save Weng Fa Luo Si.

Not destroy the Tie Mu, but truly save.

Bai E raised his hand, looking at the ring on his right index finger.

This was entrusted to him by Xi Lian.

Inside the ring was set a strand of extremely fine, extremely faint blue-gold light — the power belonging to that Xianzhou Emperor.

He didn't understand what a Xian Zhou was, nor what an Emperor was; he knew only one thing:

Find the Xuan Huang, find Xuan Ge, prove it to him, make Xuan Ge notice him.

Once those were done, everything Xi Lian had instructed would be complete.

While Bai E leaned against the porthole and fell silent, Lai Gu Shi was also silent.

He had come in person this time to face Bo Er Ka Ka Ka Mu directly.

At the same time, he had come to see the Xuan Huang, to talk with Xuan Ge.

Bai E spoke correctly; if he died here, that would be truly dead.

This mechanical body is his true main body, not an avatar, not a backup.

He indeed wanted to break the knowledge circle; destruction was once an option, but that was a measure only needed when there was no Xuan Yao and no Xuan Ge.

Now it's different.

So he must talk, must give Xuan Ge a condition he cannot refuse.

The Erudition Star God forcibly bound Xuan Yao; in the end it was only to anchor Xuan Ge.

Then he will dismantle the Honored Erudition's purpose, pull Xuan Xing out of this vortex.

Or....

He has a fifty percent chance to make Xuan Xing a special existence that has never existed in the Huan Yu.

"What is that?" Bai E suddenly spoke.

A streak of ghastly white tore open the Xing Hai, so fast it seemed to rip space itself, and in a blink vanished into the direction of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

Lai Gu Shi raised his eyes, his gaze tracking that ghastly white trail, and fell silent for a moment.

".... Fen Feng has come to compete as well." He muttered in a low voice, his mechanical vocal cords carrying a rare trace of pressure.

The participant list for the Xing Tian Yan Wu is held solely by the Xian Zhou; before the opponent roster is announced, none of the contestants know what they will run into.

"Monarch of Extinction, Fen Feng." Lai Gu Shi answered every question asked.

"Destruction...." Bai E stared fixedly at the direction where the ghastly white dissipated, his lips moving soundlessly.

That desire for destruction of destruction in his chest was silently, uncontrollably surging upward.

Shen Wu Xian Zhou, Huang Gong Dian Dian.

Xuan Ge rose from the Dragon Throne, staring at Fen Feng sitting silently on the guest chair, endured for three seconds, and finally exploded.

"Fen Feng! How the hell did you get here? And what name did you register under!? Isn't this bullying people!"

He originally just wanted to use the Xing Tian Yan Wu to proclaim to the Huan Yu, to display the Xian Zhou's prosperous atmosphere.

The people who registered at the very beginning were all very normal.

Belobog representative team, Xun Hai You Xia Bo Tiou and Luan Po.

Pure Beauty Knight Order's Yin Zhi, Stellaron Hunters' Silver Wolf and Ren.

These were all fine, completely within controllable range.

Then Undying Realm Ramnagar came swaggering in with a thick face to register.

Xuan Ge could also understand, after all that guy was just here for the money.

But Undying Realm started a bad precedent.

Jing Yuan saw Undying Realm had come, so he came too, and then sneakily submitted his registration form.

After that came Polka.

After that after that came Fen Feng, Hei Ta, Ruan Mei....

The list grew longer and longer, the lineup more and more outrageous.

Envoys more and more...

Xuan Ge even suspected, if not for the Huan Le Aeon Aha missing and gone for fun, that guy would have had to personally come join the fun too.

Fen Feng withdrew his gaze from his face: "Noisy."

He came to compete, purely to fulfill his disciple Xuan Xing's request.

Xuan Xing saw Polka was competing too — he had suffered a big loss at Polka's hands, the more he got the worse end of it the more unconvinced he was, went back and pestered Fen Feng relentlessly, insisting he come too.

"Fen Feng, how about I rule you the winner? Stop making trouble."

Xuan Ge's tone softened toward Fen Feng for the first time, even his ending note carried a trace of barely-there pleading.

"No." Fen Feng refused extremely bluntly.

He even began to feel a trace of admiration for Undying Realm.

After all it was Undying Realm who started this good precedent — something that could make Xuan Ge eat a loss and get a headache, he Fen Feng absolutely could not miss.

"Fine. Then what about Gui Ji? I'll arrange Gui Ji as your opponent." Xuan Ge saw he was impervious to persuasion, and didn't pursue further.

Xing Tian Yan Wu was a major event he had proclaimed to the Huan Yu world with his golden word, guests are guests, everyone who registered he had to give a few points of face.

"He's busy being afraid of you."

"Hehe~~ Er Xiang Le Yuan, right." Xuan Ge of course knew Fen Feng's meaning.

Gui Ji has been hiding from him, terrified of being discovered by him for his little schemes.

But Gui Ji's purpose, Xuan Ge knew clearly from start to finish.

"Knowing yet still asking." Fen Feng retorted.

Xuan Ge's lips moved silently several times.

Ling Sha stood to the side, just from watching his lip movements from the first "I" character all the way down flying through, she knew this scolding from the Emperor was considerably filthy.

Fen Feng automatically filtered out that string of profanity, his gaze swept over Xuan Ge once.

His body was already clean, couldn't sense the Void's aura, presumably that woman called Huang Quan had exerted great effort.

He no longer wasted words, straight to the point: "I don't need anything. I just want one promise from you."

"Void, right."

"Yes." Fen Feng nodded, then added, "Don't contaminate yourself with Void again. The more you deny, the more you'll contaminate."

"I understand. The guest room is ready, someone will take you there in a bit."

Xuan Ge's reply was also rarely serious. This Void, he didn't want to touch it ever again.

"No need." Fen Feng stood up, walked out of the great hall without looking back.

Ling Sha watched that pale figure disappear into the light halo outside the hall door, only then took out a participant list, spread it before Xuan Ge.

Her fingertip lightly landed on a name: "Your Majesty, that 'Destruction Destruction' person Fen Feng just hinted at — should be this one."

Bai E.

Xuan Ge's gaze fell on those two characters, slightly nodded: "Mm. I sensed it, he carries my Causal Power."

His gaze then shifted to the name next to Bai E — Lai Gu Shi.

Two causal lines spread out before his eyes, extending toward two completely different but same-target endpoints.

What Bai E and Lai Gu Shi want this trip, he has already seen clearly.

"Xuan Xing's side...." Ling Sha lightly frowned.

What she worried about was never Bai E.

Xuan Ge raised his hand to hold her shoulder, gently pulled her to sit beside himself, "No need to worry. Bai E will have many topics with Xuan Xing."

"Moreover, to hurt Xuan Xing — would first have to get past Fen Feng, Zhu Wang, Guang Shi these few Jue Mie Da Jun."

"And still have to face me, Xing Xiao, and the Destruction Aeon Nanuk."
