I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 2067 - 2095: All Causes Have Reasons, All Effects Are Predestined
"How do you know I have these two Visualized Items?"
Li Xiaobai’s heart tightened; these two Visualized Items were acquired on the Ancient Starry Sky Road. Even though [White] is the leader of the organization, he shouldn’t know so precisely.
Back then, the grandmother guarding that city was eliminated by Jiang Que before the news spread, and the entire City Lord’s Mansion was slaughtered by him. The information about acquiring these two Visualized Items should be unknown.
[White] replied indifferently, "I’ve been watching you all along; I know everything about you."
Li Xiaobai sneered, "Then why didn’t you help out during the crisis?"
[White]’s tone was playful, "Crisis? What crisis? Did you really encounter a crisis?"
"The crisis you’re referring to isn’t just being hunted by the Divine Children’s Garden, is it?"
Li Xiaobai said, "Isn’t a threat to life considered a crisis?"
"If you had intervened, Senior Brother Four wouldn’t have died. If you had intervened, we could have had a better chance standing against the gods. If you had intervened, I wouldn’t be this miserable."
"You said you would teach me how to use the Time Law and even claimed to bring me to the same realm as you. None of it has been realized; your words lack credibility."
[White] laughed heartily, "I know you harbor resentment, but many things you don’t understand. For example, Yang Chen’s death was a key point; his death pushed many events forward, so he had to die."
"That day, when you fought fiercely with the Wine God on the sea, I watched the whole battle. Let me tell you, Yang Chen and the Wine God’s power are evenly matched. If he had killed the Wine God, I would have intervened to kill him."
"And now, I need you to seize all the Visualized Items in the Divine Realm before the next key point arrives. All of this is to face the ultimate crisis. Compared to that, the dangers you speak of are merely child’s play."
[White]’s words ignited anger in Li Xiaobai’s heart, but it quickly subsided.
Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes, "You seem to know a lot. Can you tell me why Senior Brother Four had to die?"
[White] said, "Obviously, you’ve seen the reason he had to die. If he didn’t die, how would the Wine God use his corpse to lure you? How would you kill the Wine God and call down the gods? Without the gods descending, how would Su Yunbing kill the God of Strength and acquire the Divine Throne?"
"Everything follows a logical causality, all under my control."
Li Xiaobai frowned, "Impossible, are you saying you orchestrated everything?"
[White] replied, "You can think of it that way."
Li Xiaobai said, "My actions are based on my own will, and many things were decided on a whim. How did you plan it all?"
[White] said, "I’ve been watching you all along; I know you well."
Li Xiaobai chuckled, "If you know me so well, then tell me, without harming my companions, how should I rely on any Law to ascend to godhood?"
[White] replied, "You can rely on any Law to ascend to godhood; I will help you grow."
The implication from [White] is evident: to perfect any Law, find its current owner and seize it from them.
It’s impossible not to harm companions, as whether it’s Senior Brothers or Sisters, or Jiang Que and others, the Laws they carry are all high-quality.
Li Xiaobai said, "How about something practical? Help me cripple a deity, leave them on their last breath so I can finish them off. This way, I can claim their Law and ascend to godhood naturally."
[White] laughed, his tone relaxed, "That day will come. But before that, you need to recover all the Laws not mastered by the gods so that you have enough chips for an equivalent exchange with them."
"In essence, you’re still asking me to work for you. Heaven knows what you’re plotting."
"Without tangible benefits, it’s hard for me to do anything."
Li Xiaobai appeared troubled, rubbed his fingers, and smacked his lips.
"There are great benefits, just be patient."
"By the way, the Time Law is not as high and mighty as you think. Don’t regard it as your trump card; you’ll understand in the future."
[White] casually threw out a sentence, and the black mist crumbled, transforming into scattered stars that disappeared within the hall.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiaobai’s eyes widened. This move was familiar; it’s the Star Morphing escape technique used by Feng!
"Done deliberately?"
"Did you teach Feng this escape technique or did you steal it from him?"
"This person is mysterious, speaking a bunch of unintelligible gibberish; what exactly is he scheming?"
Li Xiaobai frowned and fell into deep thought.
The words of the other party were displeasing. Since entering the Cultivation World, he’s encountered many who arrogantly believe they control the lives of mortals, yet they all ended up dead by his hands.
Senior Brother Four’s death was intentional by [White]; it’s a key point. What will be the next key point, and who will die then?
"There’s one thing he said that’s actually correct. Given my current strength and status, I can indeed collect all the Laws of every living being in the Divine Realm."
"With a multitude of Laws nearing perfection, even when facing deities, I have the strength to protect myself and transform when the next key point arrives."
Li Xiaobai was inspired by [White]; his suggestion was completely feasible.
He didn’t think collecting Laws was inappropriate; as the ultimate beneficiary would be himself. Even without [White]’s involvement, he would have eventually thought of this method.
"Let’s start with Baiyi City."
In the evening.
All the residents in the city lined up in long queues, entering the City Lord’s Mansion one by one to accept Li Xiaobai’s baptism.
The ordinary folks went in with bitter faces, but came out jubilant.
The cultivators entered joyous but came out tearful.
Every cultivator possessing the Power of Laws was taken for an equivalent exchange by Li Xiaobai, their Laws seized and then forced to cultivate Materialist Iron Fist, their cultivation dissipated, reduced to Mortal Flesh.
This went on for three days and three nights; Baiyi City completely fell into the hands of the Materialist Sect. Even the stray dogs were arranged to read flyers daily before being allowed to eat.
"Taking a city is a piece of cake; it’s just that I’m not sure what use it serves."
"Even if the sect’s influence is vast, it’s no match for the gods. Relying on this rabble can’t contend with the Father God."
Five Twenty found Li Xiaobai to ask.
She most wanted to see Li Xiaobai’s side engage in full-scale war with the Father God, a relentless struggle that would weaken the Father’s power, creating an opportunity for the Nether King to swallow and consume.
But now she was mingling with mortals every day, confused.
"Now is the preparation phase; after capturing this city, we will continue to the next city."
"Don’t worry about anything; once everyone joins my Divine Sect, it will be time to engage with the gods."
Li Xiaobai said to her.
He was now far ahead, capable of suppressing Five Twenty, no longer as courteous as before.
Behind this woman is the Nether King, and once he is involved, he and Five Twenty will inevitably become enemies. If not for the value of their relationship, he would have taken the [Ex-boyfriend] long ago.
"Fine, but there’s a matter I should inform you of. I’ve obtained a map of the Divine Realm; the next city is under the influence of the Buddhist Sect, this entire line worships the Ancient Buddha, with Buddhism as their belief."
Five Twenty took out a map and pointed on it.
Li Xiaobai was unconcerned, "The Ancient Buddha also has ties with my Divine Sect; they should join my Divine Sect."
