A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 967: Chapter 967, the arrival of the ancient star!

Wang Baole’s voice reverberated in all directions. It traveled into the sky, and the starlight that was surrounded shone brightly for a few moments. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, its body suddenly shrank, it formed a ray of light that was as white as paper and shot toward Wang Baole’s position in the starry sky!

However… as if to take revenge on Wang Baole, the white paper ray turned abruptly after getting close to him. It bypassed him and headed straight for… The Bell Maiden, who was on the ground in despair!

In that instant, it sank into her forehead and disappeared. The bell maiden was barely able to withstand it. She coughed up blood and passed out before she could rejoice. The starlight surrounding her body grew thicker and thicker!

This scene caused all the cultivators who saw it to narrow their eyes. The entire world fell silent at that moment. They all looked at Wang Baole. It wasn’t just them. The stars in the sky were staring as well. The nine ancient stars.., they were staring as well. Perhaps it could be said that they were waiting.

Wang Baole lowered his head to look at the Bell Maiden, whose starlight was growing thicker and thicker. He was silent for a moment before he suddenly laughed.

“So, what you said before about me relying on external forces was just an Excuse?”After saying that, Wang Baole retracted his gaze and didn’t look at her again. He had tried his best, performed, and fought for her. Since she was still looking down on him.., from then on, she was no longer qualified to be taken seriously by him.

He looked at the starry sky and spoke slowly and calmly in a tone that had never been heard before.

“Who among you… is willing to accompany me on my journey through the mountains and seas, to accompany me for the rest of my life?”

As soon as he spoke, the Heavens Shook and thunder shook the world. The stars shone together. Whether it was a mortal planet, a spirit planet, or an immortal planet, all of them erupted with intense light. All the special planets, from the ninth-grade to the first-grade.., all of them revealed an unprecedented desire. This scene was enough to shake the heavens and earth. What was even more shocking was that the nine ancient planets, at that moment, erupted with starlight in an almost frenzied manner. Nine mutated beasts appeared faintly on them, they all bowed to Wang Baole!

The galaxy filled the sky, radiating with boundless light!

This was the true splendor of the Stars!

Such a wondrous scene had never been seen since ancient times!

At that moment, all the paper figurines in the plaza were once again shaken. Even though everything that had happened under Wang Baole’s actions previously had already shocked them, at that moment.., they were once again shocked even more.

There were also the people of Starfall who had witnessed everything with the refraction of the Almighty’s supernatural power in the entire territory outside of the imperial capital. Their hearts were also in turmoil. When they raised their heads, they saw the twinkling stars in the sky, it caused the minds of all the people of Starfall to buzz incessantly.

“Rather than saying that the stars are competing for Glory, it’s more appropriate to say that the stars are competing for this person!”

“What kind of opportunity does this person have? He actually… he actually caused the Sea of stars to boil with excitement!”

“He doesn’t choose the dao stars, but the stars worship him in unison!”

After a short period of silence, the uproar erupted throughout the entire Starfall Empire. The square in the imperial palace was no exception. It was the same for the officials and mighty figures behind the Starfall Emperor.

Even the meteorite emperor himself was in a daze. The words that Wang Baole had said to him suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he couldn’t help but mutter.

“Everything that we miss is for the best arrangement… then… which one will you choose?”

At that moment, it wasn’t just the lives of the people in the meteorite empire who were shocked. It was the same for the prodigies from the Weiyang Dao domain like Wang Baole. It was the same for those cultivators who didn’t have the status to come to the imperial palace and weren’t qualified to ring the heaven-reaching drum, li Linzi and the others, who were outside the imperial palace, were also shocked beyond belief.

From the beginning to the end, the chance encounter with the stars had brought them too much shock. The subsequent battle for the Dao stars and Wang Baole’s domineering rise, as well as the competition for the glory of the stars, had made them start from that moment on, wang Baole’s figure was firmly imprinted in their hearts. Only two words appeared in their minds!

Such a prodigy..

Other than them, a similar thought surfaced in the mind of the scholarly cultivator from the first sect of the left Dao. At that moment, he truly viewed Wang Baole as someone who was equal to him. His expression was unprecedentedly solemn, the black-robed youth beside him also gave Wang Baole a deep look. His eyes dimmed slightly.

As for the little girl, her eyes widened as she stared blankly at Wang Baole. No one knew what she was thinking, but her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

As for the others, such as the masked woman, the little fatty, and brother Gao, they had all chosen to fuse with the stars. Their consciousness did not spread out, and they did not know what was happening outside. However, compared to them, what was most shocking was the dao star in the body of the unconscious bell lady! It was the dao star in the body of the unconscious bell lady!

In the end, the Dao Star did not choose Wang Baole. Even when Wang Baole had used his full strength, it had still given up on him. However, the person it had given up on.., he had actually caused the stars to compete for Glory… if it had the emotions of a cultivator, then it must have been at a loss in its silence.

It had a vague feeling that it had… missed out on an important opportunity.

That was because… the cultivator that he had looked down on had only said who was willing to accompany him and hadn’t said what would happen after that. That was equivalent to not giving him any benefits. He had only asked who was willing to come. Even so.., it had still attracted the attention of the stars..

Even Wang Baole himself hadn’t expected such a grand scene. After a moment of silence, he looked at the sparkling stars in the starry sky. His expression became even more solemn. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply before giving his promise.

“Those who follow me, I will do everything in my power to make them rise to prominence and become the supreme stars of the DAO domain. This is my grand vow!”

The moment he said that, everyone who heard it was once again shaken. Even the falling star Emperor’s pupils constricted. That was because… Wang Baole’s words were too heavy!

A Dao oath was a prayer of one’s own future Dao. It served as proof of one’s heart, hoping to gain the approval of the heavens and the starry skies. If one could engrave it into the laws of the starry skies, the Dao Oath would exist forever. However, those who could engrave the laws of the starry skies with an oath.., they had to be mighty figures. The rest would find it difficult to influence the laws of the starry skies.

A grand vow was a vow that was even more solemn than a dao oath. It didn’t just serve as proof of one’s heart with the Dao of the future. It also served as proof of the sincerity of the oath through one’s own life and all traces of existence. Normally speaking, even an ordinary person.., a grand wish had a slight impact on the laws of the starry skies. If one were to go back on their word, they would more or less suffer some backlash. The more fated one was, the greater the impact on the laws of the starry skies would be.

If those with great fates were to open their mouths to make a grand wish, it would even cause a phenomenon in the heavens and earth!

It wasn’t that Wang Baole didn’t know how serious his words were, but his heart told him that since the galaxy was willing to choose him, he must not disappoint the stars that chose him!

As his words reverberated in the air, the stars in the sky trembled. Then, starlight erupted even more intensely, causing the sky to change and the clouds to shatter. The entire world was illuminated by starlight, and the desire that came from the stars.., it erupted crazily at that moment. It was as if every star was calling out, anticipating Wang Baole’s choice!

The nine ancient stars, in particular, shone with the brightest light. The one at the center even fell down decisively amidst the desire!

It had fallen down of its own accord. It had put its ancient dignity and its future on the line. If Wang Baole didn’t choose it, it would have lost its recognition once again. The only way for an ancient star to advance to a dao star.., was recognition. If Wang Baole didn’t recognize it this time, it would have a huge impact on it!

After all, choosing to be abandoned was harmful to both humans and the stars. The latter was worse!

This scene completely shocked everyone who saw it!

“The ancient stars have taken the initiative to descend!”

An uproar erupted again. Before it could spread, the other eight ancient stars in the sky, who seemed to be frantic and anxious, suddenly… all descended at the same time. Together with the one from before, they turned into nine beams of light, they descended from the sky and charged straight at Wang Baole. In the end, under everyone’s stunned gazes, the nine stars revealed their true forms. They exuded an ancient aura and countless potholes, but they also became smaller and smaller.

In the end, they all turned into the size of a fist, forming nine extremely bright pearls that floated in front of Wang Baole. As the light shone, the stars in the sky trembled.

Wang Baole’s breathing froze as he looked at the nine ancient stars before him. As they shone, his consciousness seemed to sense the desire of the nine ancient stars and touch their will.

I’m unwilling to stay like this forever. Even if the nine are one, I’ll still acknowledge it. As long as I can become a dao star, do I need enough recognition
