"Big brother truly lives up to his reputation."

Ye Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Even if you've never met him, you can only find his figure in his dark history.

The eldest brother's warm-hearted image is also deeply rooted in people's hearts, always pushing the world in a positive direction.

On the other hand, a certain Ying Jiu is quick to grab a knife and attack people, is extremely irritable and unfriendly, and deserves special criticism.

Lan Tianqi was somewhat curious.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, cough cough."

Ye Bai looked at the file in Elder Lan's hand and asked curiously,

"That's what Nightmare said, Xue Jiu... I mean, where's Ying Jiu?"

When the shadow was created, Xue Jiu had already disappeared in the Supreme Abyss.

In fact, "missing" is just a very official statement.

Judging from the reactions of everyone Ye Bai came into contact with, Xue Jiu was truly dead.

Most of the top experts knew that Ying Jiu wanted to revive Xue Jiu.

This also means that Nightmare, Traceless, and Free Spirit, the three strongest humans, have all tacitly accepted a fact.

Xue Jiu is dead.

Even with his heavy heart, Ye Bai had no choice but to face the truth.

The general direction for dealing with the supreme seed was determined by Nightmare.

The true executor, the one who protects the strongest seed, is Ninth Master.

Whether this can be implemented effectively depends on Ninth Master's attitude.

Lan Tianqi looked somewhat embarrassed, put down the file, and coughed lightly twice.

"There is no record of Shadow Nine's statement in the file."

Old Lan changed the subject,

"However, as a participant, I can offer some recollections that cannot be guaranteed to be true."

As you know, I'm eight hundred years old; it's normal for me to make mistakes.

Ye Bai: ......

Mr. Lan, there's no need to emphasize that you're 800 years old.

You are now more than 600 years older than your father, the immortal Lan Zhexian.

However, Ye Bai was very curious about what Elder Lan wanted to say and listened attentively.

"Ying Jiu said that he could protect the strongest seed and was willing to treat the other party with the greatest goodwill."

"but!"

Ye Bai knew very well that whenever there was a "but," the preceding content was irrelevant and just nonsense.

Lan Tianqi emphasized,

"However, if the Supreme Seed is wicked or unwilling to bear the name of Supreme, Shadow Nine will be responsible for retrieving the Supreme Mark."

Hearing this, Ye Bai nodded slightly, which made sense.

If you blindly assume the other person is a good person and have no precautions whatsoever,

That's not kindness, that's stupidity.

The fact that humanity has achieved its current status is partly due to the favor shown to the strongest seed.

On the other hand, with the strongest protecting them, the human race has enough backup plans to deal with any situation.

The terror of the strongest seed lies in its invincibility among those of the same level, making it commonplace for it to fight against those of higher levels.

but,

Now that Ye Bai is truly facing the God of War, he faces a life-or-death situation!

Moreover, above the God of War, there is the strongest being of our time.

Among the human race, the one who exerted the greatest pressure on Ye Bai was not Ying Jiu, nor Huo Tianwang, but the Taoist who lived on the ninety-ninth floor of the tower.

Only those who are the strongest seed can understand how terrifying the strength of a supreme being can be when they grow to level 1000!

Now that Ye Bai has revealed all his trump cards, it's not impossible for him to kill a ninth-tier War God.

What about Xiaoyao?

To kill a rising, powerful seed, Xiaoyao doesn't even need to utter a word.

Ultimately, the fact that the human race can remain so composed is largely due to the contributions of Nightmare, the first generation of supreme powerhouses.

His power and kindness set the tone for the overall direction of the human race, and this direction has lasted for centuries.

Thinking about this, Ye Bai's mind couldn't help but become active.

"Elder Lan, I would like to meet the supreme expert Nightmare. Is it convenient to arrange that?"

Fearing he wasn't sincere enough, Ye Bai proactively added,

"I can pay!"

If something can make Shura willingly spend money, it can only mean that he really wants to do it.

"Nightmares are not something you can see whenever you want."

Lan Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile.

"You can only see Nightmare when Nightmare wants to see you."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Old Lan adjusted his glasses and said carefully,

"You're going to the Ninth Abyss in two days, right?"

"right."

"When you return from the abyss, there is something I need to tell you in detail, which is related to Wuhen."

Old Lan didn't keep anyone in suspense and told them everything he knew.

"Wuhen was seriously injured in the battle with the Supreme Demon God back then, and his current condition is not good."

When you were around Wuhen, my father would deliberately block your view. Did you notice?

Ye Bai nodded, "That's true."

Ye Bai had spoken with Wuhen and learned swordsmanship from him, but he had never actually 'seen' him.

Lan Zhexian would always find the right moment to block Ye Bai's view.

Old Lan said slowly,

"As far as I know, Xue Meng and my father have been searching for a way to resolve the scarless injury."

"When you return from the abyss, if you can awaken your talent a third time, it might be of some help."

Old Lan is right!

Before Ye Bai could even express his opinion, a certain observer immediately went online.

Whenever it comes to talent awakening, Xie Yan always strikes hard!

[Third Awakening Requirements: Level 400, use some inexpensive materials to cleanse your eyes for seven days]

Of these two conditions, the first one is manageable; Ye Bai will be able to reach level 400 in a while.

He's now at level 322.

The next one is a bit more troublesome.

Ye Bai glanced at the so-called "worthless" materials with disdain; one piece was worth 100,000 War God Merits!
