The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 575 - 429: Then Let’s Stay Here Together
Yu Wentong shifted her gaze downward, only to see that, unbeknownst to her, enormous whirlpools had appeared across the vast waters of the Secret Realm.
These whirlpools, one next to another, silently rotated.
Densely packed, they covered every water surface.
Suddenly, a sinister arm, black and red with five skeletal fingers, quietly rose from one of the whirlpools.
Yu Wentong’s pupils slightly contracted; before she could react, she saw a second, third, and fourth...
Above the water’s surface, from each whirlpool, a giant black and red arm rose.
Each giant arm had its five fingers spread, pointing directly to the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a forest made entirely of towering black and red giant arms emerged from the ground.
An aura of desolation, antiquity, and eerie wickedness surged forth and spread.
Yu Wentong stared blankly at the scene in front of her, feeling an immense, silent shock welling up from the depths of her heart.
At that moment, a vast and ethereal consciousness descended from the sky, quietly touching Yu Wentong’s body.
Yu Wentong’s expression flickered, and she quickly recovered from her shock and daze.
The next second, an old yet peaceful voice sounded in her mind.
"I am... Bai Wancheng...."
.....
Outside the Ancestral Land Secret Realm.
Inside the White Daffodil spaceship.
Under the leadership of the Second Elder, the Bai Family members all wore solemn expressions, anxiously awaiting something.
There wasn’t a sound in the vast cabin of the spaceship, the atmosphere was rather oppressive.
No wonder they were like this.
Given the strength of those present, they didn’t even have the right to be bystanders in the battle outside.
The battle between their Bai Family’s Supreme Elder Bai Wancheng and the Turan Family’s Hariel Turan, two Star Master level powerhouses, could easily reduce a piece of the starry sky to a barren wasteland.
The shockwaves from the battle could effortlessly shatter countless life planets.
Without the Mythical Level White Daffodil to shield them, none of them would have survived until now.
But even so, it doesn’t mean they are absolutely safe.
The outcome of the battle outside directly determines the fate of everyone on this spaceship.
Should the Supreme Elder be defeated, from Hariel Turan’s previous displays, he certainly wouldn’t let them leave here alive.
Just as the atmosphere inside the spaceship was about to hit rock bottom, suddenly...
At a spot in the center of the spaceship’s cabin, dots of light appeared.
A semi-transparent, illusory human figure gradually manifested.
This figure looked quite ordinary, resembling a skinny old man in his sixties.
Yet, simply standing there emanated an overwhelming and profound aura.
It gave people the sensation of looking up at a vast galaxy.
Apparently, it was indeed Bai Family’s Supreme Elder Bai Wancheng.
However, the battle outside continued, and it wasn’t possible for Bai Wancheng to suddenly appear there; it was merely a consciousness avatar.
With the descent of Bai Wancheng’s consciousness, the stagnant atmosphere inside the spaceship was instantly dispelled.
Everyone visibly relaxed, then respectfully bowed their heads and greeted, "We greet the Supreme Elder."
Bai Wancheng nodded calmly, then set his gaze on the Second Elder leading the group, directly instructing, "Later, you will need to pilot the White Daffodil to assist me..."
The Second Elder’s expression turned serious, immediately nodding, "What do you need me to do, Supreme Elder, please speak."
Bai Wancheng spoke calmly, "Hariel Turan covets our Bai Family’s Immortal Bloodline. He secretly sent his offspring into our Bai Family’s Ancestral Land, only to end up with a losing trade; not only failing to acquire the power of the Immortal Bloodline but also costing the life of his son, Andusha Turan...
As far as I know, this Andusha Turan appeared to be Hariel’s son, but in reality, he was an avatar created through a secret technique to purify bloodlines, enhance the foundation, and break into higher realms.
And it was a crucial step.
Now that the plan has failed, years or even more of setups and strategies have been demolished, it’s no wonder he’s raging like a mad dog..."
The group listened to Bai Wancheng’s explanation, quietly astonished.
So the Great Star Lord level powerhouse of the Turan Family had actually lost an avatar.
That does make sense.
Great Star Lord level powerhouses live a long time, and after such an extended life, they tend to view kinship lightly; the death of a single child, no matter how beloved, rarely provokes such an intense fury.
Either this child held a particularly special meaning to him.
Or... it was an excuse, with an ulterior motive.
Clearly, Hariel Turan’s current state involves both reasons.
"...Due to the crucial avatar being destroyed, he’s now desperately seeking the Immortal Bloodline as compensation.."
Bai Wancheng looked at the Second Elder in front of him, instructing, "I’ve already informed the Immortal Bloodline inside the Secret Realm.
Currently, the Ancestral Land Secret Realm has been forcibly opened with several breaches by Hariel; she will soon come out from one of them.
At that time, I will do everything to hold off Hariel, and you will be responsible for piloting the White Daffodil to receive her, and promptly take her away from here..."
"Understood."
The Second Elder nodded, a trace of excitement flashing across his previously stern face.
From what Bai Wancheng said, if the plan were successful, with coordination from inside and outside, Hariel Turan, no matter how rampant, would ultimately leave empty-handed.
"However.."
The Second Elder followed up, seemingly recalling something, and gravely asked, "Supreme Elder, what if Hariel pursues us relentlessly?"
Hariel Turan, after all, is a renowned Great Star Lord level powerhouse, and the Turan Family is one of the top families in the Mo Yun Star System.
Under simultaneous pressure, Bai Wancheng alone may not be able to withstand it.
"No worries."
Bai Wancheng said lightly, "Prior to this, I contacted people from the Star God Association.
They are on their way here now.
The Immortal Bloodline... Our Bai Family can’t retain it, passing it to the Star God Association is much better than letting it fall into the hands of the Turan Family..."
The Second Elder nodded silently.
After finishing all arrangements, Bai Wancheng said nothing more, and after sweeping a glance at the crowd, he dissipated into numerous points of light.
...
Inside the Secret Realm, Yu Wentong held Lu Yuan in her arms, with a plump green bird perched on her shoulder, half-sitting on one of the towering giant arms.
At this moment, the Ancestral Land Secret Realm no longer showed plains, mountains, or waters....
Everything had been replaced by densely packed black and red giant arms.
These black and red arms emerging from the subterranean whirlpools formed a towering and eerie forest, continuing to grow taller, as though aiming to pierce through the heavens.
Aside from this, no other disturbances occurred.
"The Bai Family..."
Yu Wentong recalled the words of someone claiming to be Bai Wancheng of the Bai Family, her eyes wavering slightly before quickly calming down.
She redirected her gaze to Lu Yuan in her arms, as if cradling a sleeping infant, her eyes unintentionally softening.
"Then what about you?"
Yu Wentong looked at Lu Yuan and quietly spoke.
As if she were speaking to Lu Yuan, yet also asking herself.
"You have so many secrets... with the Bai Family’s way of doing things, it’s probably not good news for you..."
"My path to survival has become your path to death.."
Yu Wentong quietly contemplated.
As one of the leaders of Sum Country’s Yellow Bear, over the years, she understood well—
Those who harbored secrets and lacked the strength to protect them, once they fell into the hands of a large power... the results could be disastrous.
Moreover, the Bai Family was by no means a group of benevolent people; from the incident in the trial, where they didn’t hesitate to use top-tier elite powerhouses from four planets to feed a Mechanical Soldier, one could tell.
If Lu Yuan entered the Bai Family with her in his current state.
She had no ability to protect Lu Yuan, and his fate could easily be imagined.
This was also why Yu Wentong wasn’t in a hurry to leave the Secret Realm.
Before exiting the Secret Realm, she had to find a path of survival for Lu Yuan as well.
If she couldn’t find one....
"Then we stay here together."
Yu Wentong instinctively held Lu Yuan tighter, gazing at the towering, sinister black and red arms surrounding them, and whispered softly.
