Chapter 174: Divine Realm's Decision

"Such behavior—if it's not a white‑eyed wolf, then what?" Bai Yuan asked calmly, his voice echoing deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

But to Qian Renxue, this voice

was deafening, causing her heart and spirit to tremble.

Her actions truly seemed like those of a white‑eyed wolf.

After all, this was news that could threaten Bai Yuan's life.

Regardless of her reasons—using it to threaten Bai Yuan or as a bargaining chip—that makes her a white‑eyed wolf.

Bai Yuan saw Qian Renxue's mood, and launched another attack, scolding angrily: "With such white‑eyed‑wolf behavior, you still dare to imagine becoming my master's wife? It's downright laughable."

Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned, then retorted: "I'm not a white‑eyed wolf; I just want to be sure whether you really are him!"

Bai Yuan's lips curled beneath his mask as he said: "Admitting a mistake and correcting it is the greatest virtue; Master taught us that. Speak the truth, and I trust Master's spirit in the heavens will forgive you."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan found himself at a loss for words.

Qian Renxue stared at Bai Yuan with a strange look.

Master's spirit in the heavens?

If the person before her truly were Bai Yuan, she couldn't imagine how thick‑skinned someone must be to say that so calmly.

After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue said: "That matter is actually that three Divine Kings and ten First‑rank Divines have arrived from another realm."

Bai Yuan:???

He knew clearly that thirteen people had come to the Douluo Continent, yet he was completely unaware that among them were three beings equivalent to Divine Kings and ten equivalent to First‑rank Divines.

Was Qian Renxue's information wrong?

This was obviously impossible.

She had no reason to deceive herself.

Nevertheless, Bai Yuan couldn't help but become puzzled.

So many terrifying strong beings arrived on the Douluo Continent, yet it remained so quiet; no major events occurred.

Qian Renxue, seeming worried that Bai Yuan might not grasp Divine‑level ranks, began to explain: "Divine‑level beings are, from highest to lowest, Divine King, First‑rank Divine, Second‑rank Divine, Third‑rank Divine, and the most basic rank in the Divine Realm, Divine Officer."

"Now I have just become divine, inheriting a First‑rank Divine position, yet my cultivation is only equivalent to a Divine Officer. Still, with my divine armor, I possess the strength to clash head‑on with a Third‑rank Divine."

"Do you now understand how dangerous the Douluo Continent truly is? To those strong beings, we are like ants—one finger can crush us."

"But I am different from you; you die and that's it, whereas I can, under the protection of my Divine Position, send my Divine Soul to the Divine Realm to be reborn."

The current Qian Renxue is completely different from her normal storyline; she now knows a great deal about the Divine Realm.

Bai Yuan showed a look of utter shock.

He deliberately questioned: "Are there so many ranks within the Divine Realm? And on the Douluo Continent, did so many strong beings truly descend?"

The exquisite smile returned to Qian Renxue's beautiful face.

She teased: "Aren't you supposed to be so powerful? I thought you knew everything, but there are still things you don't know in this world!"

Bai Yuan, unmoved, said: "Qian Renxue, since so many other‑realm Divine‑level strong beings have descended upon the Douluo Continent, how does the Divine Realm intend to resolve this?"

Listening, Qian Renxue's golden eyes darkened, and with a heavy expression she said: "The Divine Realm has tasked me, Tang San, and Bi Bi Dong to resolve this together."

Bai Yuan:???

To have Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Bi Bi Dong—three newly divine beings—handle the Douluo World's descent incident?

That's utterly absurd.

Know that they have at most just reached the hundred‑level.

Their combat power is only comparable to a Third‑rank Divine.

As for Tang San, if he hasn't inherited the Asura Divine position, his combat power is similar to Qian Renxue's and Bi Bi Dong's; even if he has inherited the Asura Divine position, his strength would at most reach Second‑rank Divine level.

Such a trio.

How can they fight three Divine Kings and ten First‑rank Divines?

This is plainly sending them to their deaths, right?

At this moment, Qian Renxue seemed to have guessed Bai Yuan's thoughts, and said: "After we die, our Divine Souls will return to the Divine Realm to be reborn, and we are not fighting them; we are negotiating with them."

"Negotiation?" Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Qian Renxue nodded: "The condition set by the Divine Realm is that if they wish to join the Divine Realm, they may, but the Divine Realm Committee will allocate only one seat for the three Divine Kings."

Having said that, Qian Renxue continued: "The so‑called Divine Realm Committee is actually the highest authority in the Divine Realm, and there are Five Great Divine Kings, thus five seats."

Bai Yuan lightly nodded and asked again: "If those people choose not to join the Divine Realm, what will the Divine Realm do?"

"If they refuse to join the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm will grant them the Douluo Star as their territory, and from then on they may no longer leave the Douluo Star to return to their world."

Bai Yuan was somewhat stunned.

Is this essentially discarding an entire plane?

Is it like placing them under house arrest here?

"What if they also refuse?" Bai Yuan stared intently at Qian Renxue's exquisite face, probing to the root.

Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression heavy.

She said: "That would be a situation that threatens your lives."

"If they refuse to compromise, the Five Great Divine Kings of the Divine Realm will descend outside the Douluo Star, and using the Divine Realm's power, will eradicate them."

"And the price for doing so is that the Douluo Star will most likely be shattered, turning into dust and vanishing forever in the cosmic sky."

Bai Yuan's gaze also became exceedingly heavy.

Of these three scenarios, he didn't want any.

The first, that would bolster the Divine Realm's strength.

The second, it's like having a knife perpetually hanging over one's head.

The third, all of them would meet a dead end!

As for the person who brought Xiao Xun'er to look for the Battle Qi World,

Bai Yuan never even thought about it—not to mention whether the other side would directly kill him; just saying that after arriving in this realm, where no one could restrain them, whether they would still be loyal to the Ancient Clan is truly hard to say.

After all, being a dog can't compare to being one's own master.

In this fragmentary world, they can do whatever they please—beauty, wealth, status are nothing more than things in their grasp.

In such a situation, still choosing to remain loyal to the Ancient Clan in another world would take nothing less than die‑hard loyalty.

After all, what is cultivation for?

Eternal youth?

Beauty? Wealth? Authority?

Perhaps they have them all?

As for those who single‑mindedly pursue the Great Dao, undistracted by fame and profit, they are truly rare; even if such people exist, it's impossible for everyone to be like that.

This gave Bai Yuan an indescribable sense of crisis welling up from his heart.

"Thank you for the news," Bai Yuan said gratefully after regaining his composure.

Qian Renxue then laughed and said, "If you want to thank me, you should take off your mask instead of spouting empty words here."

Bai Yuan's gaze froze.

Because he sensed Qian Renxue at this moment.

They've made a move on him!
