"Bang!"
The dazzling light, like a sun, slammed into the lone wolf. The scorching heat wave burned the air like flames, slamming the lone wolf into the tree behind him. The golden light instantly transformed into real flames, burning the black mist and the tree together. The fire wave soared into the sky, engulfing everything in its path.
The surrounding vines and black mist were entangled, gradually enveloping the entire square in flames, making it the only warmth in the world.
"Fire, it's fire!"
"I finally see fire!"
"I want to be famous..."
The sharp sounds were piercing, like claws tearing through glass, yet filled with longing.
The sound came from the corpses entangled in the tree. The flames burned away the branches that bound them, freeing them. But they rushed towards the flames like madmen, letting the raging fire set them ablaze.
"Fire, fire!"
"Burn away all my sins, God, forgive me!"
They rushed into the flames, turning into firewood, burning themselves to ashes, seeking only release and divine forgiveness.
Bai Hao watched all of this unfold before his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly.
Then, the lone wolf slowly emerged from the flames. The flames left no trace on him, and the surrounding flames seemed to fear him and moved away.
"I never thought that the King's Sword, which has been sealed away for so many years, could be rekindled. You will destroy this world." Lone Wolf looked at Bai Hao with deep eyes.
As he watched the flames ignite the surrounding black mist, Bai Hao remained calm and said indifferently, "What does the destruction or destruction of this world have to do with me? Since you want to obstruct me, why should I show mercy?"
"Ha, if your fire can set this whole world ablaze, I will celebrate that day." The lone wolf gently shook its body, its fur falling like snowflakes onto the surrounding flames, extinguishing them one by one like a torrential downpour.
After the storm subsided, the black mist around the plaza had dissipated, and even the towering tree had been burned to ashes, revealing a hollow exit behind it.
"Go, take your two swords, and set this world ablaze!"
"I think there are some things I need to ask you before that." Bai Hao's expression was solemn, but he kept his two weapons in his hands, staring intently at Lone Wolf.
Bai Hao's words caused Lone Wolf's expression to darken, and he said coldly, "Do you really think I can't beat you?"
"What is the true identity of Venerable White Dragon? What was its purpose in going to the Divine Radiance Continent? Where are the others who were teleported here with me? I think you should know the answers to these questions." Gripping his weapon tightly, golden light once again enveloped it. True energy surged within Bai Hao's body. If Lone Wolf dared to change the subject, he would not hesitate to attack!
"you……"
The lone wolf hesitated. It believed Bai Hao was serious, which was consistent with Bai Hao's character so far. Moreover, if they were to fight again, Bai Hao, with two King Swords in hand and even the King Fire activated, would be a formidable opponent.
After pondering for a moment, Lone Wolf sighed softly and gave in: "Alright, then I'll say it. Anyway, I've never gotten along with that White Dragon guy, so I'll be happy if it dies."
The White Dragon originally came from your Divine Radiance Continent; you should know that. But in fact, the White Dragon is of the bloodline of the Divine Origin Dynasty. To be precise, it is a true dragon bloodline that the Divine Origin Dynasty sent down to the Divine Radiance Continent. It awakened on the Divine Radiance Continent, which is why it was recalled to the Divine Origin Dynasty. Along with the White Dragon, there were also many divine beast bloodlines.”
Bai Hao frowned. "So, the demonic beasts of the Divine Radiance Continent were just a prelude left by the Divine Origin Dynasty from the very beginning, simply to awaken the bloodlines of those few divine beasts and thus bring them back to serve the Divine Origin Dynasty?"
So all of this was a scheme orchestrated by that Divine Origin Dynasty from the very beginning? The Divine Radiance Continent was merely a breeding ground for incubating the bloodlines of divine beasts?
"Then why did Venerable White Dragon return to the Divine Radiance Continent later, and even say that he wanted to gain the faith of the Divine Radiance Continent?" Bai Hao pressed.
He didn't know the situation of the other divine beasts; he only knew that a single White Dragon Venerable had come to the Divine Radiance Continent, causing the current situation.
Lone Wolf shook his head. "I don't know why White Dragon wants to go to the Divine Radiance Continent. I have been imprisoned here for over a thousand years, from the height of the Divine Origin Dynasty to its current decline. White Dragon's trip to the Divine Radiance Continent may be related to the decline of the Divine Origin Dynasty."
"The third question is, why was I transported here, and where are the people who were transported with me now?"
“Your arrival is not something I can control, so how would I know?” Lone Wolf retorted.
Bai Hao looked displeased and was very dissatisfied with Lone Wolf's answer, but in the end, he didn't lash out.
"One last question: What is humanity? Why do some people lose their humanity?"
The previous questions were all brought from the Divine Radiance Continent, but this last question reflects Bai Hao's doubts about this world and is the key question she needs to understand.
"I don't know what human nature is, after all, I am not human. As for why those people would turn out like this, it is related to the decline of the Divine Source Dynasty," Lone Wolf said.
"It's the Divine Source Dynasty again..." Bai Hao murmured to himself, now deeply interested in the Divine Source Dynasty that Lone Wolf had mentioned.
"The answers you seek may be found in the Divine Origin Dynasty, including your companions and the way back," Lone Wolf added, his tone sincere.
"Where is the Divine Origin Dynasty?" Bai Hao looked up.
“Keep walking straight ahead from here, and you will encounter the Divine Source Dynasty. Once you see the Divine Source Dynasty, you will naturally know that it is a dynasty,” Lone Wolf said.
Bai Hao looked up at the gap exposed behind the big tree, where light shone in, as if guiding Bai Hao in the direction to move forward.
"If I find out you lied to me, I will definitely come back to settle the score with you." Having put away Qianjing and Qianye, Bai Hao crouched down and leaped out of the cave entrance. A burst of light engulfed his figure...
As he watched Bai Hao's figure disappear, a cold glint flashed in Lone Wolf's deep eyes.
"If you really manage to get to the Divine Origin Dynasty, you will pay a price for it!"
...
The light before him was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible for Bai Hao to open his eyes. His body was in a state of free fall, with the wind whistling in his ears, and he was at a considerable height.
The light before his eyes disappeared after a while, and Bai Hao was finally able to open his eyes. The moment he opened them, he saw that he was about to fall heavily to the ground. He decisively circulated his inner energy to protect his feet, and landed steadily on the ground.
"Bang!"
The dry ground was immediately trampled into two deep pits.
