The Matter Settled, He Fades Away, Hiding His Merits and Fame!

"Xiao!!"

Watching the Traveler, Paimon, and the others vanish from sight.

Xiao closed his eyes helplessly.

Memories of the past surfaced in his mind.

"Golden Peng..."

"Golden Peng..."

"Xiao!"

"Lord Emperor, Big Brother, Fana, Yingda, Minu..."

"Is this where it ends..."

Douluo Star.

The entire Douluo Star was deathly silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Most people stared fixedly at the Sky Screen as an unfamiliar feeling welled up within them.

At some point, tears had slid from the corners of their eyes, down their cheeks, and onto the ground.

Just then.

A brilliant amber light, like the dawn, descended from the sky.

It tore through the darkness and brought new hope!

As it neared Xiao, it transformed into several small amber spheres of light that wrapped around his body...

As though sensing something, Xiao opened his eyes.

The next moment, the scene shifted into the sunlight.

A corner of someone's clothes flashed past, and it was clear that the figure had turned and left.

Xiao, meanwhile, appeared before the Traveler and the others.

"???"

Sentient Beings were utterly dumbfounded, their minds full of question marks.

They had known that Lord Emperor would intervene, so the outcome had not surprised them.

But... before the "story" began, the Lord Emperor had said: "In the end, do I still have to show a bit of my hem?"

That was why Sentient Beings were so full of question marks.

Could this Geo Archon foresee the future?

Or perhaps... was he omniscient and omnipotent?

Otherwise, how could he have known about showing a bit of his hem?

"Wait, why wasn't this an Underworld Scene?"

"Seriously, though!"

"This Famous Scene was fucking incredible. Just a bit of clothing, and he pulled off a massive flex!"

There had been so many clips, such a long video.

They had thought the protagonist would be the Blonde Girl, Xiao, or perhaps Arataki Itto...

Yet the Geo Archon, who had only appeared two or three times, was the true "protagonist."

"This journey may carry risks. If you insist on going... then I'll secretly follow you!"

"As expected of Lord Emperor, he's truly so gentle!"

"Gentle?"

"Hahaha..."

"Think about the Demon God Oseil and the Evil Chi in the mountains!"

"That word doesn't sound like it could describe Lord Emperor at all!"

Sentient Beings wiped the tears from their eyes and discussed what the Sky Screen had revealed this time.

Yet as they spoke, the Sky Screen did not stop playing.

The Sky Screen's view retreated frame by frame, as if time were flowing backward.

This time, it did not show the depths of The Chasm. Instead, it settled on Zhongli above The Chasm.

Zhongli could be seen lifting his teacup from time to time, sipping tea as his gaze rested on the entrance to The Chasm.

After a while.

He stood up, paced back and forth, then sat down again...

This repeated several times, making it clear just how "anxious" Zhongli was!

Sentient Beings: "..."

So Lord Emperor wasn't always focused solely on drinking tea—he could show an anxious expression too?

Suddenly, Zhongli seemed to sense something. With a casual wave of his hand, he put away the table, chairs, and tea set.

With another wave, an amber light descended into The Chasm.

He folded his arms. Only after seeing Xiao emerge did he turn and leave without a word.

When the matter was done, he brushed off his clothes and left, hiding both his achievements and his name!

New Zhongli Residence.

"Pfft..."

Ruinous Dragon King burst out laughing, and even the way he looked at Zhongli changed.

"Morax... hehehe..."

"Morax... I can't, I can't speak... Hahaha..."

Zhongli glanced sideways at Ruinous Dragon King but said nothing.

He had not expected the Sky Screen to broadcast even that.

A perfectly good Famous Scene had been turned into an Underworld Scene.

"Golden Peng has grown up..."

After a while, Ruinous Dragon King stopped laughing and sighed.

With Golden Peng's strength, leaving The Chasm on his own would have been effortless.

Yet in order to save Traveler, Arataki Itto, Yelan, and the others, he had ultimately chosen to sacrifice himself.

Such spirit deserved praise and commendation.

As for admiration, that was impossible. He was Ruinous Dragon King, after all!

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Di Tian lay on the grass by the lake, clutching a piece of Spirit Gold.

The Fierce Beasts sat behind Gu Yuena.

Their faces were solemn, and their bodies trembled faintly.

Gu Yuena watched the Sky Screen, a trace of worry flashing through her violet eyes.

Morax was simply too mysterious. Especially at the beginning of this video, he had left behind a "prophecy."

It was as though he had known from the very start that he would ultimately end with a corner of his clothes.

Having inherited all of Dragon God's wisdom, Gu Yuena did not believe Dragon God could accomplish such a thing.

Dragon God could, at most, plan for the future—not foresee it.

Planning for the future meant using schemes and strength to bring the future to an ideal state.

But Morax's move seemed more like he had learned of the future in advance.

It was even more like he knew of the Sky Screen's existence.

Otherwise, how could he have known about "a corner of his clothes"?

"You will remain here and stand guard over Di Tian. I need to meet this Rock Demon God."

After a while, Gu Yuena spoke with a grave expression.

Upon hearing this, the Fierce Beasts looked at Gu Yuena in shock and confusion.

Wasn't Master putting herself in danger with this move?

"Master, you absolutely must not!"

Di Tian hurriedly said.

As he spoke, he coughed twice, nearly aggravating his injuries.

His own injuries did not matter, but Gu Yuena could not be injured again.

Before knowing whether Morax and Ruinous Dragon King were friends or foes, the Silver Dragon King absolutely could not put herself in danger!

"My decision is made. Speak no more."

Gu Yuena said solemnly before vanishing from where she stood.

With her strength, finding Zhongli would not be difficult.

What was more, she had previously gone to rescue Di Tian.

Seeing Gu Yuena stubbornly insist on going, Di Tian and the Fierce Beasts could only stare at one another helplessly.

Master was Master, after all. As subordinates, they could offer their advice, but they could not change her mind.

They knew this was wrong, yet they could do nothing...

"Alas~ If only Lord Ruinous Dragon King were leading us."

Xiong Jun sighed. He refused to accept Di Tian.

Even less did he want to be led by a female dragon. He had always felt that Gu Yuena was not fit to be a good ruler.

Xiong Jun's voice was not loud, yet it reached the ears of all the Fierce Beasts.

The Fierce Beasts looked at one another. Only Di Tian shot Xiong Jun a glare.

That Traitor had to be taught a profound lesson!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had not spoken for a long time, remained utterly silent.

Ning Fengzhi felt his head throbbing. The schemes he had spent his entire life devising were nothing before absolute strength!

He could no longer see any future for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"If the Sky Screen had never appeared, if I had never seen all this, my horizons would still be confined to that level..."

Titled Douluo?

They were merely powerful beings who did not even count as ants.

Even the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect together could not reach the level of ants.

"The matter of visiting Lord Emperor again must be moved forward."

"Qinghe, you truly have surpassed your master. You are your teacher's finest student..."
