Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Bai E was holding a towel, drying his hair, water droplets still clinging to his upper body as he walked out of the bathroom barefoot.

Lai Gu Shi was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him; he looked up and tossed out a line.

"Bai E, you won the lottery."

"Hm?" Bai E draped the towel over his shoulder, walked over to the sofa and sat down, "Won the lottery? What do you mean by that?"

"Let me ask you first. When you see Xuan Huang, what will you say first?"

Lai Gu Shi wasn't in a hurry to speak, instead changing the subject, probing this Bai E who shouts 'Xuan Yang' all day long from the side.

Bai E thought seriously for a moment, then spoke: "I want to take him to Weng Fa Luo Si to have a look."

"Wrong." Lai Gu Shi denied it without any mercy, "You cannot regard Xuan Huang as a friend."

Bai E scratched his still-dripping occiput, his brows furrowing slightly.

"But Xuan Huang is also a person. He has so many women, plus that preference of his... for large ones — doesn't that prove he is a flesh-and-blood person with feelings?"

"Wrong." Lai Gu Shi continued to deny, leaning back into the sofa, beginning to break it down for him.

"Everyone has preferences. Xuan Huang likes large ones and has many women, that is one thing. But that is not something for us to judge."

"You should think — why did Xuan Ge seize power and become Emperor, when Xianzhou's Marshal Hua is clearly also a top-tier expert of the Huan Yu?"

Bai E fell silent; he could think through one layer, two layers.

But he could only look up at Xuan Huang; he could not stand in his position and gaze upon that scenery.

Seeing he remained silent for a long time, Lai Gu Shi patiently continued to guide.

"Xuan Ge is a Path madman to begin with; you cannot view him with a normal perspective."

"Think about it — an Emperor who holds military authority, status, power, and has the entire Xianzhou Empire backing him, what could Weng Fa Luo Si possibly have to attract him?"

Bai E suddenly felt a flash of inspiration pierce through his mind; he raised a finger and blurted out: "It's Tie Mu."

Lai Gu Shi fell silent, silent for several seconds.

"... Ha." He squeezed a powerless breath from his throat, and for a moment actually didn't know how to continue.

Bai E looked at him; he knew he was being disdained.

"You're smart. Since you understand this much, and have a request of me, then just speak directly."

Bai E still insisted on his own view: "Since Tie Mu can't attract Xuan Ge, then what can attract Xuan Huang? It can't be that Xuan Huang is coming because of Xi Lian, right?"

"Hehe~~ Lord Bai E, you've finally grown up." A meaningful smile surfaced on Lai Gu Shi's face.

"The principle is this simple. Congratulations, Lord Bai E, you got it right."

"... Ah?" Bai E blinked, "Because of Xi Lian?"

He lifted his head, a trace of coldness from being toyed with in his eyes, "Lai Gu Shi, you're playing me. You were guiding me to keep thinking toward deeper layers."

"So that's the thinking gap between a genius and an ordinary person. No matter how difficult or long the question, the answer is often just those few words."

Lai Gu Shi remained composed as ever, hands folded on his knees.

"I guided you to think toward Xuan Ge's identity, to make you consider the burden and complexity of the position of Xuan Huang."

"But I also said — Xuan Ge is a Path madman, and a top-tier madman of the Huan Yu at that. Then what would he want to do?"

"... He wants to grasp Xi Lian?" Bai E pushed forward along this line.

Lai Gu Shi had explained clearly: Xuan Ge came for Xi Lian.

Weng Fa Luo Si and Tie Mu were just incidental.

And on Xi Lian, there was something Xuan Ge cared about — or rather, power?

"I didn't say that. You said it." Lai Gu Shi urgently cut off the topic.

The corner of Bai E's mouth twitched; this old bastard Lai Gu Shi actually had such a cheeky day too.

Lai Gu Shi lowered his head to glance at the ring on Bai E's hand, pulling the topic back.

"A reminder. The ring Xi Lian gave you can let you leave Weng Fa Luo Si and reach Xuan Huang to complete the karmic loop — because the ring itself is Xuan Ge's power."

Bai E nodded.

Now he finally sorted it out, and also understood why Lai Gu Shi had him go tell Xuan Huang — Xi Lian was waiting for him.

Xi Lian took Xuan Ge's power, gave the "cause" to herself, let herself enter the competition to see Xuan Ge, let Xuan Ge act to complete the karmic loop.

But this didn't end, because this loop always belonged to Xuan Ge.

What he had to do was obtain the "effect" from Xuan Ge, connect it to the "cause" of Xi Lian letting him enter the competition, achieving the karma of making Xuan Ge go find Xi Lian.

Plus Xi Lian herself is Weng Fa Luo Si's karma —

A wisp of green smoke suddenly rose from Bai E's head.

So as long as Xuan Ge comes, it means — he can do anything.

Probably something like that.

Lai Gu Shi watched the heat rising faintly from Bai E's white hair, shook his head slightly, and stood up.

"Let's go, time's almost up."

He walked two steps, as if just remembering, turned back and added a line, "Oh, forgot to tell you about the lottery."

Bai E looked up at him.

"Congratulations, Bai E. Your opponent — changed from the Heaven-Striking General to the Divine Might General."

Lai Gu Shi finished speaking, let out a laugh, turned and left.

"General Divine Might?" Bai E tilted his head.

A second later, his eyes slowly widened.

General Divine Might — isn't that the title from before the Xuan Emperor ascended?

He covered his head with both hands: "I fought the Xuan Emperor!?"

He had just been wondering, where did this General Divine Might come from, could it be the Xuan Emperor's offspring inherited the title?

But after the two words "Divine Might" rolled back and forth in his mind twice, he finally realized.

What the hell kind of general is this, this is the Emperor!

The Emperor personally stepping in for a spar — isn't this a joke!

Ke Lü De La? Save me!

Inside the arena contestant lounge, Fei Xiao lay limp in the sofa.

Her face was so red she didn't dare look at Xuan Ge, her voice tiny like a mosquito's buzz.

"Master.... I was wrong...."

"You weren't wrong, Master was wrong." Xuan Ge looked at Fei Xiao's well-fed appearance, the corner of his mouth unable to stop curving upward.

"Full?"

"Full...." Fei Xiao's complexion reddened another layer at visible speed, "Very full.... I still want more...."

".... Uh." Xuan Ge withdrew his gaze, looking at the arena roster.

Lai Gu Shi was already matched against Hei Ta, the martial bout would soon be his and Bai E's turn.

"You rest up first. Wait for the finals, then you go on." Xuan Ge closed the roster.

"Master.... you going on, isn't it a bit too...." Fei Xiao hesitated.

"Too bullying?" Xuan Ge laughed, shook his head, "I'm not bullying anyone. The opponent bears the World."

"Bai E, is he impressive?" Fei Xiao was somewhat uncomprehending.

In the General Divine Might era, Master running into two Fen Feng might die.

But now — all Sky Generals under the Emperor's Bow together, plus Fen Feng and Huang Quan, might not be able to force him into a desperate situation.

Master now is a walking half-step Aeon, able to sway both Hunt and Abundance, already transcended a certain concept.

"How much courage does it take to endure this many cycles of reincarnation."

Xuan Ge's tone rarely sank.

He could not endure the suffering brought by reincarnation.

Who dares make him reincarnate this many times, each time killing Jing Yuan, Dan Feng and the others.

He would be more extreme than Destruction.

"Match channel open, please contestants enter swim lanes within ten minutes to await teleport."

The announcement prompt tone echoed in the lounge.

Fei Xiao forced herself up, legs still trembling.

But Fei Xiao still tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Xuan Ge's neck, and kissed his cheek.

She stepped back half a step, smiled sweetly: "Master, cheer up——"

Xuan Ge raised his hand and rubbed her fox ears, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Will win."
