The cave was not as dark and damp as Wang Xiaohai had imagined. It was just a little dark at the entrance, probably because the light was broken and out. There were eternal lamps on both sides of a long and narrow corridor at the back. The wind from Wang Xiaohai's clothes made the flames sway, and the shadow cast on the wall also swayed.
The corridor is not very long, only about a hundred meters. It is spiral and slopes downward. At the end is a double door. An old man is dozing off in front of the door.
Wang Xiaohai was about to push the door open when the old gatekeeper stopped him and said,
"Stop, this place is a treasure house, only treasures can enter, not people!"
"Who made this rule?" Wang Xiaohai asked back.
"It was set by the Lord of Black and White Stars." The old man replied.
"Black and White Star? So this planet is called Black and White Star!" Wang Xiaohai said, "That's right. It rotates very slowly, and it's almost half night and half day. If it weren't for the black clouds, it would take 10 million years for this North Continent to have night."
"Who are you?" The old gatekeeper's eyes shone as he stared at Wang Xiaohai and said, "Ordinary people don't understand this knowledge."
"The rotation period can be calculated by observing the daily deviation of the sun," said Wang Xiaohai. "Ordinary people certainly can't see it because it's so subtle. In ancient times, it was impossible to calculate the speed of light. Only the most sensitive people could feel that it takes time for light to pass by."
The old man was shocked. "You can even sense the speed of light? Without an instrument, even most sub-gods can't sense it! You don't feel the divine fire igniting. Who are you?"
This was the second time the old man asked who Wang Xiaohai was.
"I'm the new Palace Master," Wang Xiaohai said. He sensed that this old man wasn't from Beixingzhou and possessed a wealth of knowledge unknown to others. "Didn't you sense the movement up there? Who are you, and why are you guarding the treasury gate?"
"Palace Master? I wasn't notified of the change of Palace Master," the old man said. "I'm not human. Humans are just a variation of our race. We're a race with extremely long lifespans, called the Nirvana Clan. Although we don't have much combat power, we can adapt to and survive in all kinds of harsh environments. We've been living among the space meteorites until a group of evil space pirates discovered us, captured our entire clan, and planned to sell us as long-term slaves on the black market. Halfway through our journey, the White Star Lord of the Black and White Star encountered the pirates and saved our entire clan. Before he left, the clan leader promised to sacrifice 10,000 of his people to the White Star Lord for saving our race. Then we followed the White Star Lord's spaceship to this Black and White Star. All of our people were appointed treasure envoys to help the White Star Lord guard the treasure house of Wanzhou."
"What a magical race! If I want to take gold, silver and jewelry from the treasury, will you stop me?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"I don't have much fighting power, so of course I can't stop you," said the old emissary of the treasure house. "But I will inform my companions that my place has been looted. My race has a special ability called racial induction. As long as two people are within half a year of each other, they can sense each other's presence and communicate with each other over long distances."
Wang Xiaohai suddenly felt a bit of a dilemma. If he really took action, the White Star Lord would surely find out and send countless powerful sub-god angels to capture him. He didn't know if he could still defeat them. Fighting against a single angel took him days and nights. If more angels came, he would probably just have to flee. Two fists can't escape four hands. Even if he used his unused awakening skills, he would probably only be able to kill a few angels before entering a period of weakness and recovery, unable to face more angels!
"What is the strength of Lord Bai Xing? Is he more powerful than Bai and the angel?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"As long as you don't enter the treasury, I won't complain. After all, I can't disturb you with something that hasn't happened yet," the treasury messenger said. "The White Star Lord is naturally powerful. He crushed the angel Bai Yu with a single finger, as if it were an ant. His Divine Palace is the highest ruling body on this planet, with tens of thousands of angels under his command. He doesn't even need to act personally. He could just send out a powerful archangel to destroy you. Bai Yu is just an ordinary two-winged angel, which is why he was sent to this primitive North Continent to be the Palace Master."
Wang Xiaohai was not frightened by the treasure house messenger when he heard this. He knew that there were many powerful beings on this planet before he flew to it. After all, even an invincible awakener like Juetianhe would not dare to come to this planet and do evil. An ordinary angel could crush tens of millions of Juetianhe to death. This was the difference in realm!
Wang Xiaohai hesitated a bit and thought: "If I rob the treasury, my appearance will probably be remembered by the treasure envoy, and then all the treasure envoys in all the continents and the high-level officials of the Temple of God will know about it. The world is so big, although I may be able to escape, Lin Yiyi and her family will definitely not escape. It's better not to rob this treasure house. I'll wait until I get to other continents and rob them after I'm covered up." He made up his mind.
Only the captain and members of Team Nine knew about Wang Xiaohai and Lin Yiyi's relationship. In reality, Wang Xiaohai could have simply killed them all to avoid such a dilemma, but he couldn't do it! The captain hadn't done anything wrong to him; on the contrary, he'd helped him a lot. They were friends, even if just superficially. Wang Xiaohai wouldn't lower his moral standards to the point of killing a friend.
"So, your perception of the surroundings has become very dull?" Wang Xiaohai asked the treasure house messenger, "Have you been sleeping all the time? Being dull and sleeping can only lead to longevity, like a tortoise."
"Don't insult my race. We are a proud and long-lived race. Every life can live for millions of years!" said the treasure house messenger.
"Oh, sorry, I'm just passing by and will be leaving soon. I don't intend to rob your treasure house." Wang Xiaohai said, "This White Star Lord owns half of a superstar. He is so rich, how could he still be interested in these jewels?"
