Chapter 224: Bai Yu's Sincerity

"Walking on air? Dou Patriarch!" Gu Yu and the four behind him opened their mouths simultaneously, showing an expression of extreme shock.

A Dou Patriarch who is a powerhouse of about six years old.

Truly terrifying, on the scale of billions.

However, the next moment the five of them simultaneously showed a relieved look, the shock in their eyes calming, appearing somewhat natural.

After all, the one before them is a disciple of a peerless great power.

Bai Yu slowly shook her head, her tone flat, and said: "I am not a Dou Patriarch. My current cultivation is only at the late stage of Core Formation; by the classifications of your world, I am merely a mid‑stage Dou Emperor."

Bai Yu did not lie to the people in front of her.

Because only the truth can truly intimidate them.

If one lies, the lie, once exposed by others,

the five before her will have a great chance of turning against her.

The five, led by Gu Yu, listened dumbfounded.

Mid‑stage Dou Emperor?

A six‑year‑old mid‑stage Dou Emperor can also be called terrifying.

Yet this created a huge disparity for them.

They felt Bai Yu seemed somewhat unfit to be Bai Yuan's disciple.

In an instant, Gu Yu steadied his emotions.

He said: "May I ask how the young lady wishes to be addressed?"

Bai Yu replied: "Just call me Bai Yu."

Gu Yu lightly nodded and said: "Miss Bai Yu, may I ask what realm the late‑stage Core Formation is? Is it one of the cultivation realms of this world?"

Bai Yu nodded: "No. In this world, realms are divided from level 1 to 99; beyond level 100 is the Divine level, which is further divided from highest to lowest into Divine King, First‑level Divine, Second‑level Divine, Third‑level Divine, and Divine Official."

"I see!" Gu Yu's eyes showed a hint of contemplation as he considered how many levels his current strength might correspond to.

The other four also bowed their heads and murmured solemnly.

Yet after pondering for a long time, they could not reach a conclusion.

After all, if their one star counts as one level,

nine‑star Dou Sovereign would already be level 99.

The Dou Saint rank would already be at level 100, becoming a Divine.

But the Divine beings of this world can live forever.

That is something even Dou Emperor‑level strongmen can only aspire to, never attain.

How could a Dou Saint possibly match that?

After a hesitation, Gu Yu said: "Miss Bai Yu, could you tell us what levels the five of us correspond to now?"

Bai Yu pondered briefly and said: "My master told me you are equivalent to a Divine King; the other two are half‑step Divine Kings; the rest each have the strength of a First‑level Divine."

A seven‑ to nine‑star Dou Sovereign corresponds to a Divine King; four‑ to six‑star to a half‑step Divine King; one‑ to three‑star to a First‑level Divine.

Under the Five Elements Array, Bai Yuan and his companion Mu Junwu are roughly a four‑star Dou Sovereign, just entering the half‑step Divine King stage.

Gu Yu:???

The four behind him:???

The world fell silent for a moment; Gu Yu turned back, eyes wide, facing the four behind him, an expression of utmost shock.

The five at that moment doubted their own ears.

Even though they saw the same expression in each other's eyes.

Yet the five led by Gu Yu still completely disbelieved what they had heard.

They, mere Dou Sovereigns, have come to a higher world.

They have not become the lowest tier of the world.

Rather, they have become the highest‑rank Divine Kings?

In the hearts of Gu Yu and the others,

now only disbelief remains.

Regaining composure, Gu Yu forced a wry smile and said: "Miss Bai Yu, please do not tease me. Outside there are ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, even million‑year Soul Beasts, and Beast Gods nearly on par with Divine beings."

"Moreover, Divine beings are immortal; how could a few of us Dou Sovereigns possibly be equivalent to Divine Kings in the divine realm?"

The four behind Gu Yu snapped back to reality.

Their faces simultaneously showed a mixture of laughter and tears.

Indeed!

How could any of us be a First‑level Divine?

Are we half‑step Divine King strongmen?

Consider that even Divine Officials can live forever.

Yet Dou Emperors only have a paltry ten‑thousand‑year lifespan.

Let alone us short‑lived Dou Sovereigns.

Bai Yu shook her head and said: "Gu Yu, I was not teasing you. You are equivalent to a Divine King of the divine realm; the other four are at least equivalent to First‑level Divines."

Gu Yu was completely stunned.

He only felt as if he were dreaming.

Clearly he could sense that Bai Yu was speaking the truth.

Yet Gu Yu could not believe her words at all.

The four behind him felt exactly the same at that moment.

A feeling of unreality rose in the bottom of the heart.

Even Gu Yu felt that this was another test by Bai Yuan.

It made him feel that he was already invincible in the world.

See if the five of Gu Yu will rebel.

Bai Yu sighed helplessly and said, "Indeed, as Master said, people only believe what they themselves infer and what they see with their own eyes; if someone else says something that is completely opposite to their own inference, people will not believe it."

Gu Yu and the five lowered their heads.

Now this situation is just to say it to them.

But after a moment of silence, Gu Yu raised his head, smiled, and asked, "Miss Bai Yu, since you say I am a God King of the highest realm, may I ask what realm those two predecessors are in?"

He couldn't even tell the other's face, nor distinguish male from female; if they were already at the highest realm, what is this situation?

The five behind Gu Yu simultaneously cast curious glances.

Bai Yu's pink lips curled up.

"Finally hooked."

She murmured in her heart and smiled, saying, "Why are you asking this? Do you think you're impressive, wanting to gauge my Master's strength before seeing whether to actually go through with betrayal?"

The five were frightened, shuddering all over.

Gu Yu hastily knelt on one knee and said, "I dare not."

"I dare not." The remaining four followed, kneeling on one knee.

Bai Yu ignored Gu Yu and simply said, "My Master and Madam's cultivation has already reached the Half-Immortal realm."

"Half-Immortal?" Gu Yu and the five frowned simultaneously.

"Before, you said the God King was the highest realm."

"Now a Half-Immortal suddenly appears."

Bai Yu raised her snow-white chin and slowly walked in the darkness, saying proudly as she walked, "The path cultivated by my Master and Madam is completely different from that of Dou Luo Star and your Dou Qi World."

"The system cultivated by me, my Master, and my Madam is divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Crossing, and Feather Ascension."

"Among them, early Nascent Soul corresponds to a Divine Official, perfect First-level God, early Spirit Transformation to a God King, mid-stage Battle Saint one to three stars, and one tribulation equals a Battle Emperor."

"My Master and Madam's current Half-Immortal realm is twelve tribulations, meaning they have passed twelve Heavenly Tribulations, reaching a state where they can transcend rules at any time and jump out of the Five Elements."

This is what Bai Yuan gave to Bai Yu.

Speak half true, half false; say the truth that can be verified.

Say the false that cannot be verified nor dared to be verified.

Only thus can they be completely intimidated.

Make the Otherworldly God King before them serve Bai Yu.

Gu Yu listened, dazed.

A cultivation system completely different from the two worlds.

Beyond transcending rules, jumping out of the Five Elements?

Gu Yu somewhat believed he could match a God King.

But even so, they still found it hard to believe.

That we, etc., could actually match immortal gods.

And moreover not ordinary gods of the God Realm.

They are the topmost God King, half-step God King, and first-level God!
