Chapter 1220: Chapter 358: Bai Zhi Becomes a Venerable
Upon hearing that Venerable’s words, Venerable Canglan slowly began, "Although the suppression of World Origin is strong, it still cannot suppress a Venerable to the level of a regular demigod."
"Therefore, even though those mechanical demigods of the Human Race possess immense destructive power, they pose no threat to a Venerable due to their lack of mobility and flexibility."
"Moreover, the suppression of World Origin has two features: ’incremental’ and ’time-limited’. So, with our numbers, we can completely take turns entering the Real World to attack the Human Race’s front lines."
"As long as we retreat to the Outer Realm before the suppression of World Origin increases to a certain level and let others take our place, our offensive will be wave after wave without any side effects."
Upon hearing Venerable Canglan’s words, Venerable Fongyu also added, "As long as we ensure that 7-8 Venerables enter the Real World each time, not giving Fang Ze the opportunity to defeat us one by one, this plan has no issues whatsoever."
The exchange between Canglan and Fongyu sparked more Venerables to consider this possibility.
In a moment, more and more Venerables began to support this plan.
Thus, after this small meeting concluded, the Venerables from the Outer Realm decisively adjusted their strategy, preparing to abandon their pursuit of Fang Ze and instead begin an attack on the Human Race’s defensive line in the southwest administrative district....
....
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to these Venerables, while they were discussing how to deal with the Human Race, Fang Ze was also completing the final piece of his counterattack.
In the Nine Dragons District, Heaven Beyond the Heavens.
This is the most prosperous region of the Outer Realm, also a region co-guarded by nine Venerables.
Here, skyscrapers rise high and mingle with the clouds, a jungle of steel. Since there is no sun in the Outer Realm, no sunlight, a postmodern glow fills the spaces between the buildings for illumination.
Infused with red and blue hues, the entire area takes on a cyber aesthetic.
Walking through a narrow alley, Fang Ze followed his senses towards Bai Zhi and arrived at the door of a shabby hut.
Inside, Bai Zhi in her Moonlight Rabbit form was meditating with her five hearts facing the sky.
A cute Moonlight Rabbit striking this pose was quite comical, but the terrifying waves emanating from her deterred any laughter.
During this time, Bai Zhi relied on her martial arts talent and incongruous charm to make quite a name for herself in the Nine Dragons District. Many had heard of the Moonlight Rabbit who trained up to the Yang Transformation stage (transformations degrade by one stage compared to the true body), and whose martial skills were divine.
Many demigod vassals and Disaster Creatures came to challenge Bai Zhi, only to be soundly defeated. This only added to her reputation.
Had the Moonlight Rabbit not been known for its low potential, many demigods might have shown interest in Bai Zhi.
At this moment, sensing someone near her door, Bai Zhi’s eyes abruptly opened. Endless sword intent surged from her gaze, piercing through the door and shooting straight towards Fang Ze outside.
Even though Fang Ze’s strength was not what it used to be, for an instant he felt the sword intent upon him, as though about to be slain.
He slightly fluctuated his divine power, calming himself, then reached out to push open the door, "Zhi, it’s me."
As he spoke, he released some of his own aura.
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words and sensing that familiar aura, Bai Zhi’s alert expression instantly turned to joy. She leapt up from the ground, taking a few steps that merged into one, and jumped onto Fang Ze excitedly, saying, "Fang Ze?!"
While saying this, she couldn’t help but lower her head to look at Fang Ze in his transformed state, "What kind of race is this bizarre form of yours?"
Fang Ze coughed lightly and said, "The Qingyun Clan, their bodies are comprised of clouds and they live in the sky rather than on the ground. Hence, they inevitably look a bit strange."
With this beginning, the two, after not meeting for a long time, erected a shielded array and slowly began sharing experiences from this stretch of time.
After chatting for a while and as their emotions settled, Fang Ze spoke to Bai Zhi about the main matter, "Zhi, the reason I’ve come to find you is because I want you to return to the Real World to help me."
The same invitation, coming from Miaomiao, Bai Zhi had refused, but coming from Fang Ze, she unhesitatingly nodded with a smile, "Sure."
After speaking, she hesitated again, saying, "But with my current strength, I shouldn’t be able to help you, right?"
She lightly released some of her aura, then said, "My true body has just recently reached the Mortality-Shedding stage."
Fang Ze smiled gently, then said to Bai Zhi, "Don’t worry. You will definitely be able to help me. Don’t underestimate yourself."
An hour later, 100 kilometers from Heaven Beyond the Heavens, in the Lava Fireland, Bai Zhi stood with her hands crossed over her chest, eyes closed, under Fang Ze’s encouraging gaze.
In a moment, a bright meteor trailing a long tail of light fell from the sky, landing upon her.
The bright light illuminated the entire Lava Fireland as if it were daytime, and within it, Bai Zhi’s body began to rapidly transform.
Soon, a woman adorned with a golden crown, her forehead marked with a purple lightning symbol, wearing a neon feathered dress with two rainbow tails trailing from her skirt, and appearing royal and magnificent, appeared before Fang Ze.
The woman looked down at her form, then lifted her delicate hand from within her feathered sleeve and pointed into the distance.
