Xiao Wu watched from the side, her face flushed and her heart racing, yet she refused to be outdone. She leaned in, hugged Dai Mubai's arm, and rubbed against it.

"Brother, you were so handsome back then!"

"!!!"

Facing the admiration and affection of the women, Dai Mubai remained calm and composed.

He enjoyed this tenderness, but there was no hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Dai Mubai reached out and gently tapped Qian Renxue on the bridge of her nose, smiling.

"That's considered handsome?"

"It was merely blocking a single strike."

"With Dai Weisi's meager skills, if I couldn't even block that, how could I have unified the continent and ascended to the throne later on?"

His tone was flat, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

This demeanor, remaining unmoved even as Mount Tai collapsed before him, only made the women admire him even more.

Because he himself was synonymous with invincibility.

White World, Martial Soul City.

Another Bibi Dong stood on the balcony of the Pope Palace, her gaze deep as she looked toward the direction of the Star Luo Empire.

"Star Luo..."

She whispered to herself.

Originally, in her plans, the two great empires were nothing but bones in a grave, destined to be swallowed by Martial Soul Hall sooner or later.

But the appearance of the Sky Screen and the appearance of that man had given her a sense of crisis.

"To have such temperament and combat power at five years old."

"Now that decades have passed, to what extent has he grown?"

"..."

Bibi Dong turned around and looked at Ghost behind her.

"Pass down the order."

"Use all secret agents to gather every piece of intelligence on the Star Luo Emperor, Dai Mubai, with full effort."

"I want to know all his preferences, weaknesses, and... his current strength."

"Yes!"

The subordinate acknowledged the order and left, his figure instantly vanishing into the darkness.

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Hao held a massive jar of wine in his hand, his beard unkempt and his entire being radiating decadence.

But at this moment, a burst of sharp light erupted from his murky eyes.

"Good lad."

"What an overbearing fist intent."

He took a deep gulp of the strong liquor, the spicy liquid rolling down his throat, causing his heart, which had been dormant for many years, to beat slightly.

"The Star Luo Imperial Family has actually produced such a monster."

"It seems the sky of this continent is truly about to change."

Tang Hao looked at Tang Xiao beside him, his voice raspy.

"Big brother, the sect has been closed for many years; perhaps... it is time to look outside."

Tang Xiao nodded with a solemn expression.

"Indeed."

"If what this Sky Screen says is true, then the Star Luo of the White World is likely no longer the Star Luo we remember."

Sea God Island.

The Bo Saixi here did not carry a hint of regret like the one in the Black World.

She stood by the sea, listening to the sound of waves crashing against the reefs, her heart filled with anticipation.

Because in this world, that man truly existed.

Right there on that continent.

"Dai Mubai..."

Bo Saixi gazed at the horizon where the sea met the sky, her eyes burning with intensity.

"Will you come to Sea God Island?"

"Could you be the variable mentioned in the oracle of Lord Sea God?"

She had a premonition.

They would meet eventually.

Above the Sky Screen, the images shifted.

After Dai Weisi passed out, it did not last long; after all, he was a spirit master, and his physique was far superior to that of an ordinary person.

A moment later, supported by a few lackeys, he slowly regained consciousness.

The first thing he did upon waking was to look at the five-year-old child who was still standing in the same spot.

At this moment, the young Dai Mubai did not even have a single wrinkle on his clothes.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the disheveled Dai Weisi, a trace of mockery appearing on his youthful face.

"Imperial brother."

"Is this the bitter lesson you wanted to teach me?"

"It seems that this spirit awakening didn't make you any smarter."

"Or perhaps..."

The young Dai Mubai took a step forward.

It was clearly just a small step, yet it frightened Dai Weisi and his group of lackeys into retreating in unison.

"Or perhaps, trash remains trash even after awakening a spirit."

This sentence had more destructive power than the punch from just a moment ago.

Dai Weisi's face turned pale, his lips trembling as he tried to retort, but he could not utter a single word.

Facts speak louder than words.

He had lost.

He had lost completely.

"Let's go!"

Dai Weisi cast a venomous look at Dai Mubai, gritted his teeth, and led his group as they fled the scene in disgrace.

At this point, the image froze.

Immediately after, a line of huge golden characters appeared in the center of the Sky Screen.

[First round of comparison concluded]

[Voting phase initiated]

[Question: Five-year-old Black World Dai Mubai VS five-year-old White World Dai Mubai, who is stronger?]

[All living beings from both worlds, please cast your votes.]

[Note: Please follow your most honest judgment; those who vote maliciously against their own conscience will be punished by the Heavenly Dao!]

As soon as these words appeared, both worlds instantly erupted in chaos.

Black World.

Was there even a need to choose?

As long as one wasn't blind, anyone could see who was strong and who was weak.

On one side was a brat who was forced to kneel and only knew how to throw tea and abuse maids.

On the other side was a peerless monster who practiced martial arts at three and could send a spirit master flying with one punch at five.

The gap between them was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.

Flender pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"There is simply no suspense here."

"That Dai Mubai from the White World is truly outrageously strong."

Zhao Wuji also rubbed his bald head and said in a muffled voice:

"Although I don't want to admit it, the facts are right before our eyes."

"If our Mubai had these skills at five years old, or even half of them, he wouldn't be struggling to the death against Dai Weisi right now."

The students were also discussing it fervently.

Although they were Dai Mubai's classmates and friends, in the face of the warning from the Sky Screen, no one dared to joke with their own life.

"That is the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, after all."

Ma Hongjun shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice:

"I'd better just honestly vote for the White World."

"I'm voting for that side too."

Oscar followed suit immediately.

In an instant, a massive number of votes began to flood toward the Dai Mubai of the White World.

Even the die-hard fans of the Star Luo Empire, after witnessing that battle just now, could only hold their noses and cast their votes for the "hostile" Dai Mubai.

After all, their loyalty lay with the strong.

And the Dai Mubai of the White World clearly fit their inner fantasy of what a "Great Emperor" should be.

However.

Right at this moment.

A discordant voice rang out.

"This is simply absurd!"

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of cynicism.

He looked up at the Sky Screen, his eyes filled with disdain.

"What Heavenly Dao punishment?"

"It is nothing more than a trick to play god and act like a ghost!"

"I, Yu Xiaogang, have studied martial soul theory for decades, and I have never heard of any power capable of monitoring the human heart!"

He turned his head to look at Tang San beside him and said earnestly:

"San, you must remember."

"As a soul master, you must have your own judgment and must never be intimidated by such bluffing tactics."

"That kid from the White World, although he won, he did not win honorably!"

"He used a sneak attack!"
