A World Worth Protecting - Chapter 872

Chapter 872: Left Dao Holy Domain!

Zhao Yameng took a deep breath as she looked at Wang Baole, who was in the coffin, and spoke softly.

“When can you come out?”

Wang Baole, who felt very depressed, didn’t let his true body speak. Instead, his avatar coughed behind Zhao Yameng. When Zhao Yameng had no choice but to turn around and face him with a weird expression on her face, he spoke gleefully.

“Soon. According to what my senior brother said back then, I’ll be able to come out very soon.”

Hearing that, Zhao Yameng looked at Wang Baole’s avatar and then turned back to look at Wang Baole’s true body lying in the coffin, who was blinking at her and had a naughty smile on his face. She felt a slight headache and glared at Wang Baole’s avatar.

“You’re too much. Since you’re Wang Baole, why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“I did.” Wang Baole spoke while wearing a bitter smile.

“You didn’t!” Zhao Yameng stared at Wang Baole while speaking assuredly.

“I really did… I even changed back to my original appearance. Did you forget? My gosh, you…” Wang Baole slapped his forehead as he tried his best to help Zhao Yameng remember the previous scenes.

“You shouted at me. Wang Baole, you’ve changed!” Hearing that, Zhao Yameng’s eyes suddenly turned red.

Wang Baole’s eyes showed some confusion as he stared blankly at Zhao Yameng. He was about to explain that he didn’t shout at her when his body suddenly stopped. He recalled the experiences and knowledge he gained when he was young and recalled Zhao Yameng’s previous caution. After thinking that he was in danger, she collapsed mentally and was willing to do anything to save him. Such a scene made Wang Baole take a deep breath. His eyes were full of emotion as he went forward to embrace Zhao Yameng. As Zhao Yameng’s body trembled, he stroked her hair gently and spoke softly.

“Yameng, sorry. I arrived late. Tell me all the grievances you’ve suffered.”

As he spoke, Zhao Yameng’s body slowly went soft. She no longer grumbled and quarreled. She seemed to let down her guard, and she hugged Wang Baole tightly as she mumbled softly.

“Baole, is this all real… is this all not a hallucination…”

“It’s not a hallucination, it’s all real!”

Outside the cave was the Divine Eye main star’s night sky. Within the cave, a glint of fire spread from within the stones faintly, like candlelight in the night sky. It turned into warmth, which spread around the two of them who were hugging each other. The shadows reflected on the wall also slowly stopped shaking, seeming to represent their hearts as it made the surroundings turn quiet.

This was supposed to be a very romantic scene. However, Wang Baole, who was hugging Zhao Yameng then, couldn’t help but feel weird when seeing it with the eyes of his true body.

It feels like someone else is hugging Zhao Yameng… No, I can’t think this way, my avatar is me as well. Wang Baole coughed in his heart and quickly swept away the messy thoughts in his mind as he focused on hugging Zhao Yameng. His right hand also naturally slid down from Zhao Yameng’s waist… and subconsciously pinched.

“Wang Baole, it’s not very nice of you to do that.” Replying to this was Zhao Yameng’s voice, which had already calmed down.

“Ah? What did I do?” Wang Baole was stunned as he stared puzzledly at Zhao Yameng.

“Your hand…” Zhao Yameng remained silent for a few breaths. She seemed to be trying her best to continue speaking calmly.

Hearing Zhao Yameng’s words, Wang Baole seemed to finally understand. He put on a look of curiosity and raised his toes, peeking at his hand behind Zhao Yameng’s back. After that, he coughed.

“My avatar lost control just now. Maybe I didn’t cultivate properly.”

Zhao Yameng glared at Wang Baole but didn’t get angry. Instead, she brushed her hair behind her ears as she focused her attention on Wang Baole and spoke softly.

“Baole, why… are you here?” Zhao Yameng was very shocked that Wang Baole actually appeared in the Divine Eye civilization. This was also why she couldn’t trust Wang Baole previously and felt conflicted in her heart. In her memories, Wang Baole should still be in the Federation.

After all, she was very clear that Project Dark Swallow didn’t involve Wang Baole. The reason for that was very simple… her mother previously said that Wang Baole… was basically confirmed to be groomed as the next president of the Federation. There was no way the Federation would assign someone like him to carry out such a dangerous mission.

If someone else asked him that, Wang Baole wouldn’t tell the truth. But Zhao Yameng asked him now, so Wang Baole sighed.

“Let’s not talk about that, you don’t know that… I actually have a senior brother. He’s not too trustworthy. He told me that he’d bring me to a place to obtain opportunities. But in the end…” In his years in the Divine Eye civilization, although Wang Baole seemed to have a high status, he was very clear that to the Divine Eye civilization, he was still an outsider.

His home was Earth, and here, it was impossible for him to not feel homesick. And there were many things he had no one to talk to about. Although he met Zhuo Yixian previously, that guy wasn’t trustworthy enough, and Wang Baole naturally couldn’t trust him. So after hearing Zhao Yameng’s question, he told her about his experiences after arriving in the Divine Eye civilization.

While listening to Wang Baole’s story-like experiences, Zhao Yameng’s eyes opened wide, and her mouth didn’t close at all. The shock in her eyes intensified as Wang Baole went on.

“Hold on… you’re saying that you became the grand elder of a small sect after coming here. Then you offended the Violet Gold New Dao Sect and entered the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. Then you went out and went through the Flame Patriarch’s test, killing a late-stage Spirit Immortal and Planet realm cultivator in the process?

“Then you returned… and became Divine Eye royalty, leading millions of souls of the Divine Eye civilization and twelve Spirit Immortal emperors? And although your cultivation is at the late-stage Spirit Immortal realm now, ordinary Planet realms can’t do anything against you?”

Zhao Yameng’s breathing became unstable as she stared incredulously at Wang Baole. Although she had seen Wang Baole’s strength on the battlefield, she had only paid it some notice. Now, after she understood the entire situation, the shock in her heart reached a maximum. She saw Wang Baole nod, seemingly very pleased with himself. She only let out a breath after quite some time, and she looked at Wang Baole with a weird expression.

“Baole… your luck…”

“I told you previously, I’m heaven’s chosen one and have incredible luck, yet you still wouldn’t believe me. That’s enough about me. Tell me about yourself. The Project Dark Swallow you were supposed to carry out was to go to that Violet Gold civilization?” Wang Baole raised his head proudly and no longer hid his glee. But considering Zhao Yameng’s feelings, Wang Baole asked about her after coughing.

Zhao Yameng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. As she gazed at Wang Baole, the scene of her meeting Wang Baole for the first time all those years ago in the Ethereal Dao College appeared subconsciously in her mind. Afterward, the image changed into how Wang Baole shook the surroundings and rose up during the test on the ancient greenish-bronze sword.

All of that made her gaze slowly turn gentle. After dispersing the last wisp of doubt in her heart, she started telling Wang Baole about her experiences.

The Project Dark Swallow in the Federation back then actually had a hidden trump card. The trump card was to give every cultivator who went out to carry out the mission a body and leave a wisp of their soul behind on Earth with the help of the spirit researchers and the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. That way, they could ensure as much as possible that there was a possibility for those who went to carry out the mission to be revived on Earth even if they died elsewhere.

At the same time, the body on Earth that had the soul fused into it would awake periodically and give the intel they had obtained to the Federation. This plan was an absolute secret, and only the Federation President and Ethereal Patriarch had the right to obtain the intel and give commands. And the star system that Zhao Yameng went to according to the plan was the Violet Gold civilization.

In reality, when entering designated ruins on Earth, no one knew where they would arrive if they got lost there. It was only when Zhao Yameng appeared in the Violet Gold civilization that she realized their strength far exceeded that of Earth.

To her understanding, the one with the highest cultivation on Earth was Wang Baole. And he was only a Soul Conduit. But in the Violet Gold civilization… Soul Conduits didn’t mean anything. They couldn’t even be considered a warlord. Only Planet realms had the right to be called warlords. And above the Planet realm, the Violet Gold civilization even had Eternal Star realm cultivators. And they didn’t just have one. They had three! The three of them were perennially in seclusion. That was especially so for the Violet Gold Patriarch. Although he wasn’t a Star Domain realm cultivator, legend had it that he was already at the half-step Star Domain realm!

The three Eternal Star realm cultivators were like three balls of intense flame that engulfed the entire Violet Gold civilization. They caused the Violet Gold civilization to become a dominating presence in the 19th Star Domain within the Left Dao Holy Domain under the Never-Ending Star Domain.

“The Left Dao Holy Domain? The 19th Star Domain?” Wang Baole was stunned.
