Chapter 939 - was duty-bound!
A World Worth Protecting
From the looks of it, the other party had indeed been by his side as he had guessed. This made Wang Baole excited, and at the same time, the wariness in his heart increased.
After all, there was still a gap between guessing and the truth, especially when it came to the strange paper figurine. Thinking about how the other party had been observing him along the way, but he had not been able to see it, Wang Baole became even more cautious. However, he had experienced it for a long time, he was already able to hide his thoughts from the details on his face. Therefore, all that appeared on his face was excitement. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the paper figurine in front of him once again.
The paper figurine swept a glance at Wang Baole, and a dark glint appeared in its eyes. Even with Wang Baoleâs meticulous observation, he couldnât tell what it was thinking. However, he was confident that since the other party had followed him and appeared under his call.., it was obviously going to give him an answer.
No matter what it was up to, it had to say something. Otherwise, the paper figurine would not have had the time to entertain itself.
Wang Baoleâs guess was right. After a glint flashed in the paper figurineâs eyes, it remained silent for about ten breaths before it slowly spoke.
âIt seems like you are indeed smarter than that mountain spirit child... I can help you, but you need to exchange!âIts voice was sharp, as if it was being rubbed against each other, his cultivation fluctuated slightly when it reverberated in Wang Baoleâs ears, but he quickly suppressed it and spoke with focus.
âSenior, please speak!â
The paper figurine didnât speak immediately. Instead, it scanned Wang Baole carefully, as if in deep thought. After a moment, it nodded slightly and spoke again. However, it didnât mention his exchange, instead, it talked about the trial.
âWhat you are facing now is only the beginning of the trial in the fallen star lands. The focus of this trial is to enter the next trial after obtaining the illusory crystal
âIf I didnât guess, you would be competing with others for ten... star-guiding drumsticks there!â
...
âStar-guiding drumsticks?âWang Baole narrowed his eyes and asked.
âThe opportunity in the meteorite land is to allow cultivators from the outer realms to obtain high-level planets. There are also special planets in the meteorite land, allowing them to advance to a higher realm. The method... is to drum and attract planets
âUsing the star-guiding drumsticks to drum on the meteorite heaven-reaching drum until its potential is exhausted and the drumsticks collapse, it will be able to transform the planets in the myriad realms and draw out the planets that are most suitable for them
âHowever, the number of drumsticks is limited. Every few hundred years, the land of the fallen star will form ten star guiding drumsticks. Every time the drumsticks are formed, the land of the fallen star will open on its own accord, allowing those from the outer realms who are qualified to enter. Ten of them will be chosen to obtain the good fortune of this land
âThus... There was a series of trials. The first stage, the crossing of the sea, was for elimination, and the second stage, the illusory star, was the same. In the end, only thirty people were allowed to enter the final Third Stage!âThe paper figurine said slowly, the words it said made Wang Baoleâs breathing quicken slightly. He instantly gained a detailed understanding of his trip to the meteorite empire. However, a question arose in his mind.
âSenior, why is the meteorite empire... doing this? This is basically giving people a chance. Is this an agreement with the outer realm? âOr... does the meteorite empire itself have a reason and need to do this?âSeeing that the paper figurine was willing to talk about these things.., wang Baole didnât hide his doubts and asked.
It would be best if he could answer. If he didnât, he wouldnât lose anything.
A dark glint flashed in the paper figurineâs eyes. It turned its head and stared at Wang Baole. Wang Baole looked back at the paper figurine as well. They stared at each other for a long while before the paper figurine suddenly let out a strange laugh.
âAfter you arrived at the meteorite land, did you feel that something was wrong?âThe paper figurine said slowly and meaningfully after laughing.
âSomething was wrong?âWang Baole was deep in thought. He recalled what he had seen on the way in. After about ten breaths, his eyes narrowed. He remembered that the world clearly belonged to the opposite of black and white, then, he spoke softly.
âBlack Sea, White Paper?â
âThatâs right!âThe paper figurine said flatly.
âThe so-called good fortune is indeed the case for all of you. For the Fallen Star Empire, it is a matter of self-preservation!â
âThe Starfall Empire is the guardian of the Starfall land. Their enemy... is the Black Paper Sea!
âIn the beginning, the Black Paper Sea was not black, but as time passed and something happened, the sea gradually turned black. The trend of its expansion would eventually cover the entire Starfall Empire
âThe Starfall Empire tried many times and failed one after another. Then, a Supreme Emperor thought of a way to make the laws of this place visible at the cost of his own body. He would turn his body into a heavenly drum and then split his own soul. Even if he tried his best, he could only make ten strands of his own soul descend every few hundred years and turn them into a star-attracting drumstick
âUsing a drumstick to strike the heavenly drum can trigger the transformation of the stars in the myriad realms, forming a suppressive force that can slow down the spread of the Black Paper Sea
âHowever, due to the rules, the cultivators of the Falling Star Empire have no flesh and blood, so they are unable to strike the heavenly drum. This is why they have come into contact with the outside world, and the subsequent ones have been activated one after another!âThe paper manâs voice was calm, and there were no ripples, it was only when it spoke of the former emperor of the Starfall Empire and the ten wisps of souls that it revealed a look of reminiscence in its eyes.
However, the reminiscence disappeared in an instant. If Wang Baole hadnât been so observant and so close, he probably wouldnât have noticed it.
Could This paper figurine be related to the Emperor of the Starfall Empire? Wang Baole suppressed his thoughts. After sorting out the information contained in the paper figurineâs words, his instincts told him that it was logical. Therefore, he believed about seventy to eighty percent of it, at the same time, his understanding of the land of the fallen stars increased.
âI wonder what senior needs me to do?âAfter a moment of silence, Wang Baole asked the question.
However, after he said that, the paper figurineâs expression clearly showed some hesitation. It seemed that even it had doubts about what it wanted Wang Baole to do.
That made Wang Baole suspicious as well. However, he didnât continue speaking. Instead, he waited for the paper figurine to think.
After a long while, the paper figurineâs gaze landed on Wang Baole again. It stared at him for a long while, as if it wanted to see through him completely. Finally, it spoke hoarsely.
âYou... are very strange!â
âHuh?âWang baole blinked.
âYouâre clearly a cultivator from the weiyang dao domain. Your Soul Age hasnât even reached sixty years, yet you still have the feeling of time... if thatâs all there is to it, then so be it. You still have the aura of the Weiyang Dao Domain on you. Normally speaking, this is due to frequent exposure to items from the Weiyang Dao Domain. However, youâre different!â
âI have observed you for a long time, and I have come to the conclusion that the aura of the non-weiyang DAO domain on you does not come from an item. Instead, it comes from one of your dao techniques and divine abilities... this dao technique has a huge origin, and I can not hear what you are saying clearly. However, every time you use it, the will to awaken and descend from the depths of the starry sky... it is the strongest I have ever seen in my entire life!â
As the paper figurine spoke up to this point, Wang Baoleâs expression seemed normal, but his heart was already in turmoil. He knew very well that the other party was talking about his own dao scripture!
The divine ability that little Missy had imparted to him in the mask had helped him resolve many crises over the years. However, as more and more of the consciousness that had descended awakened and contained some emotions, it made Wang Baoleâs heart skip a beat, however, while he used it frequently, he had never tried his best to recite it to the end.
He would usually stop immediately after reading the first few words.
âTherefore, I need you to follow me to a place. There... use your full strength to display your supernatural power and Dao Techniques!âThe paper figurine took a deep breath and continued speaking.
âIn return, I will help you obtain a drumstick. I will even lend a hand when you play the drum, allowing you to at least... obtain a special planet that contains laws as your planet in this fortuitous encounter!â
âDo... Do you agree?âThe paper figurine asked with a deep gaze. It stared at Wang Baole, waiting for his reply.
Wang Baole smiled bitterly when he heard that. His mind spun rapidly. The other partyâs conditions werenât high, but... He didnât dare.
If I go all out, if I really disturb that will, will it be like swatting a mosquito to death and kill me with a slap? Wang Baole thought of this and took a deep breath. He was just about to open his mouth to see if he could change his conditions.., the paper figurine spoke faintly before him.
âIf you refuse, I will destroy you right now!â
Wang Baoleâs expression turned solemn. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, as if he felt that his personality had been severely insulted.
âSenior has underestimated me, Xie Dalu. I am not afraid of being threatened. If I donât want to, I will definitely not agree even if I have to die. However, senior has helped me greatly along the way. Regardless of whether it is in my heart or in my actions, I am extremely grateful to you. This matter... is naturally something that I can not refuse!â
