Chapter 207: He Who Knows the Times Is a Hero

Above the calm, unruffled sea, all sounds fell silent.

At this moment, time and space seemed frozen.

Bai Yuan intended to hurl the Heavenly Saint Rift Spear, but hesitated.

He seemed like a lifelike statue.

In the sky, the two deities hundreds of meters tall were the same; each wanted to turn and flee, yet neither dared to move first.

Both waited for the other to lose patience and run first, but this prompted Bai Yuan to launch the Heavenly Saint Rift Spear, giving himself a chance to escape Douluo Star.

Bai Yuan was not in a hurry to act; he considered two options.

He quietly adjusted his condition, preparing to kill both the Sea God and the God of Angels before him in one blow, eliminating the future trouble.

Thus, time passed second by second.

The God of Angels and the Sea God both felt a bit anxious.

While Bai Yuan adjusted his state, both the God of Angels and the other Sea God could clearly sense it.

They both knew clearly that once Bai Yuan returned to his optimal state, the only outcome awaiting the two of them was a joint death.

But whether Sea God or God of Angels—

neither would sacrifice their own life for the other.

Now they only competed to see who would lose patience first.

Or they waited for both to die here together.

Bai Yuan's expression showed no fluctuation; he stared calmly as the two massive deities before him kept watch for any trick and stood ready to strike at any moment.

Finally, the God of Angels lost patience first; her hands slowly began to move, causing Bai Yuan and the Sea God to fix their gazes.

However, what each thought was completely different.

"Looks like I can only kill one," Bai Yuan sighed inwardly, ready to pin her dead the instant her body shifted.

"God of Angels, run quickly!" the Sea God felt excited, silently circulating divine energy, ready to dash into outer space the instant Bai Yuan launched the Heavenly Saint Rift Spear.

Yet under Bai Yuan's and the Sea God's strange gazes, the hundreds‑meter‑tall beauty whose appearance resembled Qian Renxue's, lifted her hands slowly and plunged the Angel Holy Sword into the sea.

She said, "Bai Yuan, I concede."

The Sea God stared dumbfounded, never expecting the illustrious God of Angels to pull this, choosing surrender over a death‑defying duel—simply disgraceful!

Bai Yuan was also taken aback.

He never expected the God of Angels to surrender.

The God of Angels slowly said, "Bai Yuan, Xiao Xue is your concubine, I am Xiao Xue's ancestor; for her sake, grant me a life‑saving reprieve, how about it?"

The Sea God felt immense anger.

He said, "God of Angels! Have you any sense of dignity left!"

The God of Angels let out a light "hmm" and said, "Sea God, what does face matter have to do with this? The situation is already untenable; those who act knowing it cannot be done are merely fools. I am simply a wise man who knows the times."

The God of Angels did not care about the Sea God's feelings.

As for the Divine Realm, it is now a certain death scenario; once the Divine King descends to the Lower Realm, he will slay Bai Yuan.

The God of Angels, protected by the God of Kindness, naturally cannot suffer mishap; at most she would receive a minor punishment.

Moreover, the God of Angels has already lost her divine position; formally, she no longer belongs to the Divine Realm. This time she chose the three of them to go to the Lower Realm only because the Asura God was pushing them there.

The reason, of course, is that all three know the Five Elements Array in Bai Yuan's hand is a treasure surpassing even supreme artifacts.

If the Sea God obtained the Five Elements Array, he would surely keep it for himself; the Asura God and the God of Angels would claim the Five Elements Array, while the Asura God plans to snatch it outright while other Divine Kings remain unaware and unguarded.

Thus the God of Angels felt little mental burden.

Anyway, even after the Divine King descends, she will be fine.

The Sea God, hearing this, gripped his golden trident tightly, his fists rattling, with massive blue veins bulging on his hands like coiling dragons.

The God of Angels paid no heed to the Sea God's reaction; she raised both hands in a surrender pose, looked at Bai Yuan and said, "Bai Yuan, if you agree, I swear I will never be your enemy again in this life, how about it?"

The sea calmed once again.

Only the Sea God remained extremely nervous.

Bai Yuan gazed calmly at the God of Angels and retorted, "You say you have a connection with Xiao Xue? For Xiao Xue's sake, will you let me grant you a reprieve?"

The God of Angels quickly nodded, explaining, "I am Xiao Xue's ancestor; if you doubt it, she will arrive soon and you can ask her."

Bai Yuan listened, laughed, and shook his head, saying, "God of Angels, you look so much like Xiao Xue, how could I not believe?"

A hint of joy flashed across the God of Angels' brows.

Bai Yuan, however, changed tone, sneering, "God of Angels, before you didn't know I was linked to Xiao Xue and let me go; now you can't beat me, is that what you're saying?"

The smile on the God of Angels' face stiffened.

Deep down, the Sea God couldn't help but feel schadenfreude; compared to traveling alone, he thought two together would be less lonely.

The God of Angels steadied her breath and said, "Bai Yuan, I was at fault before. How about this: tell me what you need for me to grant you a reprieve. Just say what you want."

Bai Yuan, as if prepared, replied, "Fine, I have two conditions."

"You name it; any task I can accomplish, I will fulfill for you," the God of Angels answered decisively, offering a promise.

The Sea God seemed petrified.

He stood silently in midair, motionless.

Bai Yuan ignored the Sea God, looked at the God of Angels, and calmly asked, "The first matter is simple: I want to know what exactly happened with Xiao Xue back then; don't say you were the one who meddled."

His words were not very clear.

But everyone present knew what it referred to.

It was, of course, the time when Qian Renxue had just become a god.

She went to snatch Bai Yuan's mask.

The God of Angels hesitated briefly and said, "Bai Yuan, indeed I was the one who interfered back then, but I was ordered by the Asura God."

The God of Angels had little to say.

But Bai Yuan had already fully understood the whole story.

He slowly nodded, and Bai Yuan said, "The second matter isn't hard either—just you personally strike down the Sea God here!"

The Sea God and the God of Angels both froze at the same time.

They never expected Bai Yuan to make such a demand.

After all, the God of Angels surrendering would be fine.

But if you personally slay the Sea God.

That would be another matter entirely.

Even if the Sea God is surely doomed now.

The God of Angels fell into silence.

The Sea God was now tense to the extreme.

Bai Yuan, however, calmly gazed at the God of Angels without hurry.

Anyway, silence now is just stalling for time.

Before the God of Angels recovers, if they agree, Bai Yuan will let them live, letting them serve as cannon fodder and continue negotiating with the Otherworld God King.

If they do not agree.

Then we'll kill them together!
