Light condensed above the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl and then gradually transformed into an old figure. The figure was dressed in a white robe, and when he appeared, both his eyes were tightly closed. Only after a while did they slowly open. At first, there was a hint of confusion within his gaze. However, as he saw the towering Mount Blood Demon ahead of him, his body suddenly shook, and there were waves of excitement in his eyes.
“Mount Holy Dragon!” he muttered aloud, and in that moment, a lightning strike of spiritual light appeared in his eyes. His sense of confusion suddenly disappeared as he turned around and caught his first sight of Mu Chen.
“Master White Dragon, it has been a while.” Mu Chen greeted him with a faint smile.
“It is you…” Sovereign White Dragon was in a daze as he looked at Mu Chen. Then he quickly remembered the situation they were in when he had met Mu Chen before he disappeared. However, the Mu Chen at that time had yet to step into any Sovereign level, but now, even Sovereign White Dragon felt as though he couldn’t see through Mu Chen.
“Master White Dragon, do you remember what you entrusted me to do?” Mu Chen cupped his fist in his other hand and smiled.
Sovereign White Dragon seemed to understand what he meant, as he trembled while looking at the familiar piece of land before his eyes and said hoarsely, “This is my home land!” He suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed a little. “What about the Extraterritorial Demons?”
“I have wiped out all the Blood Demon Lords in this world,” Mu Chen said softly.
Sovereign White Dragon looked at Mu Chen in astonishment. His eyes were clearly filled with disbelief, because he knew that those Blood Demon Lords all had capabilities on par with Complete Earthly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand World. That level of capability existed in a manner that was far beyond his reach, even while he had been alive. However, these powerful demons had now all perished at the hands of the lad in front of him?
Meanwhile, as Sovereign White Dragon was still in a state of shock, a clear voice echoed by the side. There was a similar tremble in that voice, as its owner was clearly extremely exhilarated, too. “Founder White Dragon, what the master said is indeed the truth! All those Blood Demon Lords have already been executed!”
Sovereign White Dragon looked across, only to see Bai Susu’s beautiful teary eyes looking at him, her delicate face filled with excitement.
“You are…” Sovereign White Dragon stared at Bai Susu, and suddenly, the expression in his eyes twitched. “You are a successor of my White Dragon bloodline?”
“Your disciple’s disciple Bai Susu pays her respects to you, Ancestor!” Bai Susu bowed gracefully with her beautiful cheeks flushed red.
Sovereign White Dragon looked her up and down, and laughed bitterly. “The people of the younger generation have unexpectedly achieved much more than us old folks. Seems like we were really useless. It is no wonder that we couldn’t protect this world.” He could obviously see that Bai Susu was actually more powerful than he had been before his death.
At those words, Bai Susu immediately clarified, “Ancestor, this is the achievement of all the predecessors in our bloodline through their lives and not merely my own power. The ancestors and other seniors, even though they have gone far away, also struggled to pursue the law of salvation. Only then could powerful people be born from it.”
Sovereign White Dragon looked startled for a moment, and his expression dimmed. “I see. It seems like they have used their last resort… But that, too, needs someone who is fitting, and the fact that you can do it is remarkable as well.”
Mu Chen listened to the conversation and laughed. “It’s not the time to reminiscence about old times now, Master White Dragon. Even though I have killed all the Blood Demon Lords on this land, there is still another, bigger problem…”
He pointed at the towering pagoda. “Before these Blood Demon Lords died, they created a Blood Demon Emperor with the help of countless amounts of Blood Essence within this heaven and earth. It is the most powerful level of Demon Emperor, on par with a Heavenly Sovereign.”
Sovereign White Dragon couldn’t help but look aghast. He had practiced in the Great Thousand World before and naturally knew how horrifying the existence of a Heavenly Sovereign was. Who would have thought that during these years, the Fiend Blood Tribe had actually created a Blood Demon Emperor in their world…
Sovereign White Dragon’s expression was dismayed as he mumbled, “Now I really am at my wits’ end. Must this be the day that millions of lives in my world perish?”
“I’m afraid whether or not they perish will have to depend on the opportunity you promised me that year,” Mu Chen said with a grin.
Sovereign White Dragon paused, then immediately, a bright light appeared in his eyes. He looked at Mu Chen in surprise and said, “Mu Chen, perhaps you have already reached the stage before Heavenly Sovereign?”
“I am now bitterly looking for the path towards Heavenly Sovereign.” Mu Chen nodded, then he looked at Sovereign White Dragon with shining eyes and said, “I wonder if you, my master, can enlighten me?”
He tried so hard to come to this world and had banished those demons. The reason he was doing this was naturally for the sake of the supreme opportunity that Sovereign White Dragon had promised him. He wanted to try and see if he could find the path to Heavenly Sovereign here.
Spiritual light beamed in Sovereign White Dragon’s eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said, “If that is so, then there might still be a chance to survive this calamity.” Upon finishing his sentence, he continued, “Do you know the Martial Ancestor?”

Mu Chen nodded slightly and said, “I have met the Master Martial Ancestor once.”
Sovereign White Dragon looked at him in awe. After all, people like the Martial Ancestor were the pinnacle of existence in the Great Thousand World. Heavenly Sovereigns were hardly able to meet him even once, let alone normal beings. However, Mu Chen had already done that, which was enough to prove his remarkable background.
“Then you should also probably know that the Martial Ancestor is similarly from the Lower Planes, and our world has also been invaded before by a troop from the Extraterritorial Race. However, the Martial Ancestor is peerless among us. Even though he originated from the Lower Planes, he could still use his own strength to defy the natural order and finally wipe out the Extraterritorial Race…”
Sovereign White Dragon sighed. Perhaps only those as extraordinary as the Martial Ancestor were able to perform such legendary actions.
Mu Chen nooded. There was nobody in the Great Thousand World who didn’t know about the legendary actions of the Martial Ancestor.
“But I am afraid you do not know that the reason the Martial Ancestor could fight and win against the Strange Demonic Emperor then was because there was an item that played an important role…” Sovereign White Dragon grinned before continuing slowly, “And that item was called the ‘Worldly Fetus.’
“The so-called ‘Worldly Fetus’ is considered a spirit of the world that is incarnated from the essence of that whole world. However, it does not have self-consciousness. If one could control it, then they could easily adjust the energy of a world.
“But not all Lower Planes possess the existence of the Worldly Fetus, because its formation also needs all types of opportunities. The Worldly Fetus will only appear in a very few Lower Planes.”
Sovereign White Dragon pointed a finger at the space of this world and marked every one of his words clearly. “And in our world… a Worldly Fetus coincidentally existed. And with the support of that power…” Sovereign White Dragon stared solemnly at Mu Chen and said slowly, “You can then break through the shackles and step into the real Heavenly Sovereign level!”
Mu Chen was shocked, and in his eyes, endless fiery spirit gushed out. His predictions were indeed not wrong. At this side of the world there was really an opportunity that could help him break through to Heavenly Sovereign!
“But under normal circumstances, that Worldly Fetus can only be sensed by the livings of this world. It was also due to this benefit that the Martial Ancestor back then could subdue the Worldly Fetus and repress that Strange Demonic Emperor.”
Sovereign White Dragon looked at Bai Susu sympathetically and said, “It is such a pity that in our world, there have never been legends such as the Martial Ancestor. Although Susu has reached an unprecedented realm, it is mostly due to the molding of external forces. Thus, it would be completely impossible to sense the Worldly Fetus… and even if it was sensed, I’m afraid that she would still not be able to refine and subdue it.”
Mu Chen’s brows frowned a little, because he wasn’t a living thing from this world but an outsider.
“Haha, you need not worry. Since I have promised you, I will naturally have other ways.” Sovereign White Dragon chuckled and pointed at this piece of land before saying, “The world is spiritual. If all the living things in this world can sincerely pray at the same time, with the help of that prayer’s energy, it should be able to protect Mu Chen so he can sense that Worldly Fetus.”
“All the living things?” Mu Chen was lost in thought.
“The human heart is most unpredictable. Hence, I’m afraid this method would normally be quite hard. But now that this side of the world is being scourged by demons, and everyone is falling into a sea of suffering, if there is a way to salvage this, then I think no one will give up easily,” said Sovereign White Dragon.
Hearing that, Mu Chen’s eyes glimmered. Soon after, he bowed to Sovereign White Dragon respectfully. “If this way works, I will definitely ensure the peacefulness of this world.”
If he could step into Heavenly Sovereign with the help of this strategy, then he clearly wouldn’t be afraid of the Blood Demon Emperor anymore. Dealing with him would be much easier, unlike the gridlock back when the Martial Ancestor fought the Strange Demonic Emperor.
This wasn’t to express how much he had surpassed the Martial Ancestor. It was just that back then, the Martial Ancestor was in the Lower Planes after all, and his tactics were limited. Whereas now, aside from coming from the Great Thousand World, Mu Chen also held two big Rare Super Powers. As soon as he became a Heavenly Sovereign, common opponents at his level would not even dare to test his edges.
“If that is so, then on behalf of all the living thing in this world, I thank you for your future protection beforehand,” Sovereign White Dragon said in a respectful manner. If Mu Chen stepped into Heavenly Sovereign, then he would naturally be one of the pinnacles within the powerful ones in the Great Thousand World, enough to be called a doso.
After he finished speaking, he said no more and sat down cross-legged in mid air before gently closing his eyes. As his eyes closed, a formless wave originated from him and rapidly spread out. In an instant, the wave reached all the regions of the Lower Planes.
At the same time, in the hearts of Bai Susu and all the indigenous people, there was a rising apprehension. Thus, they all sat down crossed-legged at once with their hearts pure and calm.
As they sat quietly, after a while, there were suddenly streaks of light spots rising from their foreheads that finally lifted off into the distant sky and floated towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen allowed those light spots to float towards him and land on his body. Between heaven and the earth, more and more light spots rose from further places, as if they had come across vast stretches of space. The whole world was permeated by those mysterious light spots. The light spots blanketed the space, and finally, as if they had turned into a cocoon of light, they enveloped Mu Chen.
As the mysterious light shined through their eyes, in that instant, Mu Chen slowly closed his dark eyes.
