Chapter 48: Rain of Salvation

“White dragon, if you have the ability, come at me again!”

“Oh, I’m right here.”

“White dragon, if you have the ability, come at me again!”

“Oh, I’m right here…”

“White dragon, if you have the ability, come at me again!”

Suddenly, the Black Demon Lord felt the world before his eyes spin, and a familiar sensation surged into his heart. Then he opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar yet familiar place.

It felt like a bolt out of the blue to the Black Demon Lord.

He saw the familiar figure of the white dragon appear before him, and then a claw reached for him.

“Ahhh!”

The Black Demon Lord was going mad, wanting to fight for his life.

However, the white dragon now possessed a complete understanding of all his abilities, and without the Black Demon Staff, his current strength was significantly weakened, leaving him with absolutely no power to resist.

BOOM.

In less than two minutes, the Black Demon Lord was beaten to pieces once more, and with reluctance and a roar, his silhouette turned into black light and vanished from the virtual space.

Then, Xi Yu harvested another SSS-class Soul Essence, along with a ring.

Putting the Soul Essence away, Xi Yu didn’t pay much attention to it, as he still had one in his space.

Instead, he looked at the ring a few extra times.

The ring was red and yellow, neither metal nor stone, making its material impossible to determine, and several images of palaces were carved on its surface.

[I Can See the Quality of Ingredients] appraised it, but nothing was determined, which indicated its grade was still very high, definitely not an ordinary item.

However, Xi Yu didn’t perceive any offensive properties from it.

He tossed the ring aside casually, planning to ask the Nine-Tailed Fox later to see if it knew its origin.

Subsequently, Xi Yu returned to the physical world.

At this moment, the energy of the SSS-class Mutation Essence hadn’t been fully consumed, and his body remained filled with power.

Xi Yu sensed his condition, discovering that the energy of one SSS-class Mutation Essence was enough for him to summon the Black Demon Lord five times. Furthermore, as the Black Demon Lord’s power grew weaker, the energy required for summoning became even less. Since the sheep provided its own wool, he could truly keep shearing this sheep continuously.

Without further hesitation, he immediately launched another summon to continue consuming the energy in his body.

***

Aboard the unknown small island, the Black Demon Lord was going mad.

Boundless fear and regret rose in his heart—why had he insisted on provoking the white dragon in the first place?!

Who could have imagined the white dragon would be so terrifying!

He surged into the sky from the island, needing to flee quickly.

However, the next moment, amidst his horror and despair, he vanished into the sky once more.

After launching three consecutive summons, Xi Yu basically harvested an SSS-class Mutation Essence or Soul Essence every single time.

It was only during the last two times that no items dropped, with the final attempt dropping an unknown black flower, which Xi Yu stored away without a second look.

Since he had already formed a grudge with the Black Demon Lord, there was naturally no need to hold back. He naturally wanted to take this opportunity to resolve him directly, saving this demon from continuing his evil deeds.

However, during the fifth summon, the Black Demon Lord’s state suddenly became abnormal.

The aura on his body dropped by a massive degree, hovering precariously at the threshold of the Lord of the Beyond rank, looking as if he might fall below it at any moment.

Unsurprisingly, when the Black Demon Lord transformed into black mist and vanished once more, three essences dropped in one go this time.

Aside from the Mutation Essence and Soul Essence, an extra Food Sequence Essence dropped, which truly surprised Xi Yu; the preciousness of a Food Sequence Essence went without saying.

He didn’t waste time launching another summon, but this time, the Black Demon Lord appeared as a giant black tree, his aura having fallen below the Lord of the Beyond rank, and it continued to drop without stopping.

And when he attempted to summon him once more, he discovered the summoning failed, and the image of the Black Demon Lord vanished completely from the [Kill Monsters] ability.

‘Did the Black Demon Lord perish just like that?’ Xi Yu himself couldn’t believe it.

Yet a death was truly a death.

Only at this moment did he fully comprehend the power of a Divine Food Sacrifice ability.

And this wasn’t even the complete form of the Divine Food Sacrifice; if he fully unearthed this ability, wouldn’t he be able to slaughter gods and demons alike?

However, Xi Yu quickly calmed down; the Divine Food Sacrifice ability was indeed powerful, but it was only effective against those weaker than the white dragon. If faced with a Food Sequence Lord or a divine wonder, this ability wouldn’t be so miraculous.

The only purpose of this ability was long-term farming and revenge without delay—anyone who became his enemy had nowhere to run, which felt quite satisfying.

However, this also served as a warning to Xi Yu: if the ability to kill monsters was already this formidable, what about other Divine Food Sacrifices?

In this world, there was no telling when one might encounter a powerful, eerie entity that possessed a Divine Food Sacrifice like his past life. His luck had been decent, as he hadn’t encountered a powerful existence with a Divine Food Sacrifice ability.

At that time, he had also relied on raw physical power; otherwise, he might have perished long ago.

Ultimately, his strength was still too weak, and he needed to work harder.

Killing a Lord of the Beyond was nothing impressive; the gap between a Lord of the Beyond and a Calamity Lord remained significant.

Furthermore, this world held Heavenly Emperors, existences on par with Food Sequence Lords that could not be underestimated.

Currently, the [Believer] ability he possessed carried far too great a hidden danger, and it was impossible to conceal.

Right now, he hadn’t been exposed, but once exposed, he could imagine that all the Calamity Lords would surely come looking for him.

Even if the gates of the Heavenly Realm were opened, those three Heavenly Emperors would hunt him down as well.

At that point, his true crisis would arrive.

Therefore, he had to increase his strength rapidly, not slacking in the slightest.

Currently, the most urgent task was to gather enough Fate Connection points; as long as he could leave the Celestial Palace Realm at any time, he wouldn’t have to worry about this world at the very least.

Thus, the matter of bringing rain next was the most important.

However, thinking about it was quite magical.

Originally, he had merely wanted to increase his strength a bit to add a card to his hand, yet he had accidentally resolved his greatest trouble. And then another Lord of the Beyond had inexplicably appeared by his side, making him even more confident about bringing rain.

So now the only problem was ensuring a good thing didn’t turn bad, avoiding disasters caused by bringing too much rain.

***

His consciousness returned to reality, and the Nine-Tailed Fox was not far beside him.

Xi Yu waved at it. “Red Fox, are you ready? Time to get to work.”

Although tomorrow was the agreed day for bringing rain, doing it earlier was better.

“Yes, Your Highness,” the Nine-Tailed Red Fox responded immediately, highly curious about what Xi Yu wanted it to do.

“Your task next is simple: save lives.” Xi Yu transformed into the white dragon and soared into the sky, and the Nine-Tailed Fox’s body expanded dramatically as it followed close beside him.

***

On the far eastern edge of the sea, a colossal black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

The moment the black shadow appeared in the sky, it tumbled directly into the ocean.

BOOM!

A massive splash echoed, and towering waves soared into the sky before spreading outward across the sea, but the waves were soon swallowed by the ocean’s tides.

The Black Demon Lord had once been a Lord of the Beyond who had awed the Celestial Palace Realm for thousands of years, yet his death at this moment caused no major disturbance.

In the end, his body sank into the depths of the ocean floor, though no one knew if he would ultimately benefit the living beings of the region.

However, at the very moment he perished, abnormal fluctuations appeared along the coastline near the edge of the continent.

At this moment, Xi Yu brought the Nine-Tailed Fox closer to the coastline.

Soon, they arrived at the sea, seeing clusters of black mist appearing over the marine region.

This black mist was originally the array the Black Demon Lord had used to trap the moisture over the ocean and prevent it from moving toward the continent, while constantly absorbing the moisture from the land.

However, upon the Black Demon Lord’s death, the array lost its control core and began to reveal itself, and a chain reaction began to occur within the array.

This caused the mist to undergo transformations.

Massive rumbles echoed from within the mist, with dazzling flashes of light pulsing inside occasionally. Originally, the mist resembled black mountains, but now these giant mountains began to collapse.

In the deep sea, massive dark clouds began to move toward the continent, but under the obstruction of the black mist, the dark clouds were unable to break through, continually slamming into the black mist. But as the black mist mountains collapsed, the force of the dark clouds’ impacts grew stronger.

BOOM!

Thunder clapped and lightning flashed in the sky, a massive light of thunder piercing through the sky and earth, yet unable to break through the coastline to reach the land.

However, under this impact, the fluctuations of the black mist grew even more intense.

It seemed on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Xi Yu watched this scene and stopped waiting, his white dragon body expanding rapidly.

He had expanded his body in the Middle Continent before, and now he began once more.

Only this time, his body appeared even larger than before.

Looking at the white dragon rapidly blotting out the sky, the Nine-Tailed Red Fox felt an endless sense of awe in its heart, feeling that the white dragon currently needed only a single claw to crush it into pulp. It vaguely felt that the current white dragon seemed no weaker than its former master, the Shangqing Heavenly Emperor.

However, before it could feel more emotion, the white dragon let out a sky-shattering dragon’s roar, and then dove toward the ocean.

Splash.

With a crisp sound, the black mist array that had trapped the moisture collapsed with a roar. Subsequently, the endless dark clouds in the sky escaped the ocean’s control and began advancing toward the continent.

The Nine-Tailed Fox quickly followed.

Having broken the array, Xi Yu didn’t stop, continuing to fly into the deep sea.

Likely because it hadn’t been released for a long time, a vast amount of moisture had accumulated over the ocean, forming dark cloud cities.

And these cities were currently locked in a fierce battle.

Sky-shattering thunder erupted between the cities.

This was a war that never stopped, with no city choosing to yield, nor any city able to secure true victory.

Just then, a white dragon traversing heaven and earth charged into the center of the battlefield, appearing intent on stopping the war. But it seemed to enrage all the cities, and instantly, all the dark cloud cities slammed toward him, with countless bolts of lightning blasting onto his body.

In this moment, these cities seemed united against a common enemy, bombarding the white dragon endlessly.

In a short while, the white dragon suffered thousands of lightning strikes.

Thus, the white dragon appeared completely enraged, boundless dragon power transforming into a dragon claw even larger than the dragon’s body, slamming down toward the dark cloud cities.

Crash.

Without encountering much resistance, one dark cloud city after another was torn to shreds. Although they re-condensed in the next moment, they seemed to know his power, instantly becoming well-behaved, and under the white dragon’s direction, began drifting toward the continent.

After gathering enough clouds, Xi Yu began driving them forward.

Vaguely, the white dragon seemed to master the ability to control clouds and rain at this moment; with a simple thought, the endless sea of white clouds began to follow him.

Soon, layers of clouds enveloped his surroundings.

At this moment, Xi Yu was like a shepherd driving a gentle flock of sheep, driving the clouds wherever rain was needed.

And the rain fell from the sky according to his will.

Splash!

A torrential downpour poured from the sky.

In just a moment, the dry earth was covered in rain.

***

A small, ordinary mountain village in the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Water scarcity had lasted for nearly a year here as well, but fortunately, their well water was abundant enough to barely sustain them.

However, the well water was decreasing by the day, and no one could say when it would completely vanish. The village was filled with daily anxiety, fearing that the well water would run dry, leaving them with no way to live.

Yet the rain simply wouldn’t fall day after day.

Now, many villagers looked up at the sky whenever they had time, hoping a miracle would occur, yet they were deeply disappointed every time.

And on this afternoon, the villagers looked up at the sky once more.

Then suddenly, they saw the eastern sky darken.

The villagers blinked, thinking they had seen wrong, but looking east again, the sky was still black, and the dark clouds seemed to draw closer to them.

“It’s going to rain! It’s going to rain!” Joyous voices alarmed the entire village.

In an instant, the people remaining in the village went wild, running out of their houses to look up at the sky.

Sure enough, they all saw the dark clouds drawing closer to the village.

Instantly, the villagers cheered with excitement.

Some even knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing to the black clouds in the east, praying for the rain to fall, hoping it wouldn’t merely pass over their heads.

And more and more villagers prayed like this.

Amidst their anxious expectations, they suddenly saw a curtain of rain connecting heaven and earth draw near to them from the east.

They stared wide-eyed, fearing this was a dream.

However, the next moment.

The rain poured down on their heads.

The cold rain struck their bodies, dousing the heat on their skin.

The villagers shivered and leapt up one by one.

“It’s raining! It’s raining! It really is raining!”

Cheers echoed continuously through the village.

The villagers opened their arms in the rain, with no one thinking of taking shelter.

They finally had hope of living on.

Just then, a villager pointed at the sky and shouted, “What is that?!”

Some villagers didn’t understand, but looked over instinctively, seeing a white colossal object beyond imagination traversing the dark clouds.

BOOM.

In this moment, an unimaginable rumble exploded in the minds of every villager, because they had all recognized it—that was a dragon!

A mythical creature that existed only in legends.

At this moment, they watched as the white dragon, which blotted out the sky, appeared to drive the dark clouds in the sky, eventually vanishing from everyone’s sight along with the clouds.

***

On a deep mountain, a woodcutter named Song Yi walked down the mountain with a load of firewood.

However, he soon had to stop and rest, sweating with every step. The water he brought had long been finished, and he was dying of thirst. There used to be a small stream nearby where he could drink, but four months ago, the stream had dried up.

He had even personally seen a batch of small animals in the mountain die.

Song Yi rested for a bit, only able to sigh in his heart.

He knew a bit of weather observation, and knew it wouldn’t rain anytime soon.

Although this weather made collecting firewood easy, people were dying of thirst.

However, he had long stopped expecting rain, taking life one day at a time. In any case, he was a bachelor with no family left, and if he lived, he lived; if he died, he died, as no one would miss him anyway.

Life had lost all hope long ago.

Suddenly, he felt the sky above his head go dark.

He looked up in confusion, his eyes widening the next moment.

The sky had turned completely black.

Pitter-patter.

Soon, Song Yi felt his face and head sting as raindrops struck his head, soaking his entire body in an instant.

“It’s really raining?!” Song Yi was still a bit dazed.

This rain had fallen far too suddenly; by all indications, it shouldn’t have rained today at all!

But Song Yi quickly grew excited.

Who cared? As long as it rained, it was good.

“Hahaha! Rain! Rain as hard as you can!” Song Yi laughed wildly, shouting at the top of his lungs, then opening his mouth to drink large gulps of rainwater.

If one could live, who would want to die?!

In no time, Song Yi felt he had come back to life, but his expression shifted quickly.

Raining was a good thing, but his firewood was completely soaked.

That was nothing, but going down the mountain in the rain was far too dangerous.

And with no rain for so long, the mountain was dry, and many plants had died, which meant the soil was loose. A sudden rainstorm like this could easily cause mudslides, which could be lethal.

Song Yi looked around; he was currently not far from the foot of the mountain.

However, this position was the most dangerous—too late to run up, and too far to run down.

Fortunately, Song Yi saw a large tree four or five hundred steps ahead, and abandoning his firewood, he sprinted toward the tree.

Climbing a tree in the rain was dangerous—a lightning strike could take his life—but he couldn’t care about that now, worried if he could even escape with his life.

Losing his life just as hope appeared for the future would be far too wasteful.

Just then, Song Yi was horrified to feel his entire body rise into the air, flying toward the sky.

In an instant, Song Yi’s heart clutched, thinking he had been struck by a falling rock.

After a moment, Song Yi realized he wasn’t in pain or bleeding, and after flying through the air for so long, he looked around and was terrified—not only was he flying, but small animals were also flying through the sky around him.

Song Yi locked eyes with a small wild boar, both of their eyes filled with horror.

Just then, Song Yi’s eyes nearly popped out.

Beside him, the pile of firewood he had chopped earlier was flying alongside them.

It was too terrifying.

In no time, Song Yi landed on the ground.

Instantly, the small wild boar beside him bolted away.

Song Yi didn’t bother with it, forgetting to breathe.

He watched as a white dragon of unimaginable size vanished from his sight.

Then he finally realized—he had been saved by the divine dragon of legend, and had even experienced flying through the sky.

Sibilance— who would dare imagine such a thing!

[Fate Connection: +11]

Atop a large tree, Fu Wenzhen stared blankly at the sky, murmuring, “It really rained… the divine dragon truly brought rain.”

A warm current erupted from his heart uncontrollably.

“As expected, the divine dragon did not deceive us.”

Fu Wenzhen’s heart was excited beyond measure.

That day, his flying sword had nearly been taken by the Black Demon Cult, and as he was about to fall into crisis, it was his Senior Brother Jiang Shaomu who had over-exerted his life potential to save him.

After escaping that day, his heart had been filled with indescribable guilt, and when he learned that Senior Brother Jiang was still alive, he had felt an indescribable joy and relief.

However, a series of events that caught him off guard followed.

Senior Brother Jiang had actually been imprisoned by the Sect Master, and had nearly been killed in the end.

At that moment, he had nearly crumbled in despair, unable to believe that Senior Brother Jiang, who had nearly given his life for them, would meet such a fate.

In that moment, his faith had collapsed.

When he learned why all of this had happened, he was in disbelief.

The divine dragon had saved Senior Brother Jiang, yet the sect suspected the divine dragon harbored ill intent toward the sect?

Even an ordinary disciple like him could see that if the divine dragon truly wanted to harm the Kuitian Sword Sect, would He bother exposing Himself directly? And then go through the extra effort of claiming He would bring rain?

What enraged him most was that many in the sect actually agreed with the Sect Master’s suspicions.

Even when the white dragon had an opportunity to occupy the Kuitian Sword Sect and didn’t appear, these people remained stubborn.

At least they believed the white dragon wouldn’t bring rain.

As long as the white dragon broke His word, it would prove their suspicions were correct—that the white dragon still harbored designs on the Kuitian Sword Sect, merely waiting for a better opportunity.

Fu Wenzhen was furious, but had no way to argue.

As long as rain didn’t fall, that possibility indeed existed.

Now, looking at the rain pouring from the sky, Fu Wenzhen felt an indescribable satisfaction. The divine dragon had indeed kept His word to bring rain, and he could finally slap the faces of those stubborn sect members.

However, this emotion quickly vanished from Fu Wenzhen’s heart.

Compared to those things, the divine dragon’s actions made his blood boil even more. Regardless of why the dragon brought rain, He had truly done so, saving the lives of millions of citizens.

In this moment, Fu Wenzhen was deeply won over.

If possible, he wanted to worship the white dragon as well.

The white dragon could save his Senior Brother Jiang and help countless humans survive; staying by His side would surely bring an immense sense of security.

Fu Wenzhen didn’t linger on the tree for long, wanting to respond to Sect Master Miao’s call to assist everyone in need.

And without his knowledge, a point of light he couldn’t see lit up on his body.

Swish!

A streak of sword light vanished into the curtain of rain.

When Miao Luohua watched the heavy rain fall from the sky, a heavy weight lifted from her heart.

With no further thoughts, she led her disciples toward various locations that might need support.

At the same time, one sect after another saw the heavy rain falling from the sky, and many among them also saw the white dragon in the sky.

Then they were all shocked.

How had a legendary divine dragon suddenly appeared in this world, and what was He doing now?

Then they also saw some disciples of the Kuitian Sword Sect following behind the white dragon.

They were stunned, thinking the Kuitian Sword Sect was heading out to slay a dragon!

Instantly, many cultivators boldly followed, and soon they were dumbfounded—was the Kuitian Sword Sect actually rescuing people?!

This left them completely bewildered; while many cultivators held chivalrous hearts, having an entire sect conduct disaster relief was truly somewhat unbelievable, and the Kuitian Sword Sect had never cared this much about ordinary people before, right?

However, after some thought, many sects actually joined in as well.

In short, following the Kuitian Sword Sect couldn’t go wrong, and perhaps there might be some benefits involved.

Seeing more and more cultivators joining, the other cultivators couldn’t sit still either. Although they didn’t understand why everyone was doing this, since others were doing it, not participating made them feel out of place.

‘Forget it, it’s not difficult anyway; just do it.’

However, as they worked, their mindsets began to shift.

A large portion of them simply followed behind the white dragon, watching Him continuously rescue ordinary living beings along the way, which deeply shocked them.

Initially, they indeed hadn’t understood what the white dragon was doing, but now they could basically see that the white dragon was bringing rain, and His actions seemed to be specifically for these ordinary humans.

They couldn’t fathom why the white dragon would be willing to rescue these living beings who were like ants to Him, but as they watched, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion.

Many felt their scalps tingle, and they continued to follow the white dragon to rescue people, but gradually, their hearts became much more sincere and proactive.

And when they saw a low-cultivation cultivator get swept up by a storm, nearly torn to shreds, only for the white dragon to step in and save her, they were even more shocked.

This time, many among them didn’t continue following the white dragon, instead scattering to other locations to help.

When Xi Yu inadvertently looked back, he suddenly found the situation somewhat bizarre.

Why did it feel like all these cultivators had suddenly experienced a spiritual elevation?

However, although they might steal some of his Fate Connection points, Xi Yu truly didn’t mind; compared to Fate Connection points, lives were clearly more important.

Strangely, with the assistance of the Kuitian Sword Sect and a large group of cultivators, his Fate Connection value hadn’t decreased, instead increasing somewhat.

And the quality of the increase was quite high, with a portion originating from cultivators.

This left him somewhat puzzled, but he didn’t dwell on it, as it wasn’t a bad thing after all.

Soon, night fell.

Nighttime made things much more difficult, but Xi Yu didn’t slow down, accelerating instead. Though less rain fell this way, it was safer for the ground.

What surprised him was that even at night, almost none of the cultivators who could keep up chose to give up, instead staying by his side to help as much as possible. Behind him, the Nine-Tailed Red Fox was constantly busy, appearing even busier than him.

Xi Yu suddenly felt a unique satisfaction in doing this, gaining a strong sense of belonging in the Celestial Palace Realm, and he even gradually stopped monitoring the growth of his Fate Connection value.

***

A night passed, and the agreed third day finally arrived.

A new day began.

The three days had arrived, and when the villagers of Hongtian Village woke up early, it wasn’t raining.

The sky was clear for miles, without a single cloud.

This left them feeling somewhat uneasy.

However, the Temple Priest had said it would rain in three days, not that it would rain precisely at dawn. So although anxious, they managed to stay composed.

At the same time, many villages shared the same mood as Hongtian Village.

However, seeing the believers from the Qingshui Dragon God Temple appearing composed and seemingly holding absolute confidence in the Dragon God, their hearts also gradually settled.

Sure enough, before noon arrived, the eastern sky suddenly darkened.

And amidst the ecstatic expressions of the villagers of Hongtian Village, heavy rain quickly fell.

Subsequently, they witnessed the white dragon appear in the sky, and in their fanatical gazes, step across the clouds and vanish into the distance.

“It’s Lord Dragon! It’s Lord Dragon!”

Almost simultaneously, the villagers of Qingshui Village cheered. Qing Li looked at the true form of the Dragon God in the sky, a sense of immense pride swelling in his heart.

Seeing that the white dragon didn’t stop in Qingshui Village and flew straight off, the people of Qingshui Village felt no disappointment whatsoever. At this moment, they only felt an indescribable excitement; Lord Dragon lived in their Qingshui Village, which was their supreme honor.

Lord Dragon belonged to them.

The white dragon traveled across the entire drought region for three days before rain had fallen in basically every area.

He didn’t bring too much rain, basically granting only half a day to a day’s worth of rain to each region, which was sufficient to resolve the water crisis for all living beings. Without the Black Demon Lord, nature’s cycle would ensure most regions wouldn’t face water scarcity in the future.

Afterward, Xi Yu dispersed the clouds, letting the moisture return to nature.

With this, the rain-bringing task was successfully concluded.

No accidents occurred along the way.

Xi Yu had spotted several Lords of the Beyond secretly spying on him along the way, especially one from the north whose consciousness was filled with malice, though he ultimately didn’t make a move.

In truth, the Lords of the Beyond watching were quite puzzled: why hadn’t the Black Demon Lord appeared throughout the entire process?

The drought had been caused by him in the first place, yet he hadn’t revealed a single trace of his aura this time, which was one of the reasons why the Extreme Ice Sacred King of the north ultimately chose not to act.

Another reason was naturally the Nine-Tailed Red Fox.

He would never admit he had been intimidated by the white dragon’s colossal body.

The Lords of the Beyond in the Celestial Palace Realm knew a bit about the Nine-Tailed Red Fox, but it had suddenly vanished for a long time; why had it suddenly appeared by the white dragon’s side?

This made them increasingly wary of the white dragon.

And after today’s events, they wouldn’t dare harbor any designs on the white dragon for a long time; the majesty the white dragon displayed today was far too terrifying.

The extreme east of the Celestial Palace Realm was the domain of Da Ri Po Suo, the strongest Lord of the Beyond below the Heavenly Realm.

Over these past two days, his consciousness had also been secretly observing the white dragon.

Compared to the other Lords of the Beyond, the shock in his heart was far greater.

He clearly felt that the white dragon’s power was definitely greater than his own, which he didn’t want to accept yet had to accept.

So as long as the white dragon didn’t come looking for him, no matter what the white dragon did, he wouldn’t intervene, avoiding bringing trouble upon himself.

Other Lords of the Beyond might not know, but he had already clearly sensed through a secret technique that the Black Demon Lord had perished.

Although he hadn’t seen how the Black Demon Lord died, he strongly suspected it was tied to the white dragon, because no Lord of the Beyond in the Celestial Palace Realm could cause the Black Demon Lord to perish so silently.

Combined with the fact that the Black Demon Lord was the only one who had acted against the white dragon in the Celestial Palace Realm currently, he couldn’t think of anyone else besides the white dragon.

Thus, he held immense wariness toward the white dragon; this divine dragon was terrifying and mysterious to the extreme, and he only wanted to stay far away from him.

However, what puzzled him was that the white dragon hadn’t done anything else, instead traveling across the world to bring rain, with even the junior disciples of the Kuitian Sword Sect following behind to help.

This left Da Ri Po Suo utterly perplexed—could it be that the white dragon had come to their world specifically to do good deeds?

This dragon was so strange!

Regardless, Da Ri Po Suo didn’t dare cross the white dragon, but watching the dragon do these things, he actually found it quite interesting.

If nothing else, the white dragon’s actions were truly a matter of boundless merit.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.

[Fate Connection: +1,240]

[Fate Connection: +2,148]

***

Over the three days, Xi Yu hadn’t specifically checked, but looking now, he found the Fate Connection value had reached a very impressive number.

[Fate Connection: 215,241]

This was the total, and the number was still increasing bit by bit.

Xi Yu set aside other matters for now, making a sweep through various regions to confirm that the rain hadn’t caused major flood disasters before returning to the Qingshui Dragon God Temple, then focusing his mind entirely on [Believer].

He could finally summon his third [Believer].

As for the target, there was no need to hesitate—he naturally chose the Nine-Tailed Red Fox, as this would bring the greatest increase to his strength.

However, he had also noticed last time that selecting a new believer would affect existing believers, and their potential would also experience corresponding growth.

The Nine-Tailed Red Fox was currently a Lord of the Beyond, whose strength already surpassed SS-class. Once selected, not only himself, but the impact on Cheng Liang and the others might be even greater. He had to be careful in a bit, lest he overwhelm them.

He looked forward to it, wondering if he could successfully return to the Kun Star world after this believer upgrade. If possible, he wouldn’t have to worry about the gates of the Heavenly Realm opening at any time, bringing the three Heavenly Emperors to his doorstep.

Without further delay, Xi Yu entered the inner world directly, then selected the point of light corresponding to the Nine-Tailed Red Fox, while the Nine-Tailed Red Fox, who was rushing over, suddenly heard a massive rumble in its soul.
