On the screen.

Although the analysis provided by Dai Mubai was logical, the military prioritized concrete intelligence.

The commander, while hesitant, still dared not change the battle plan lightly.

"Without definitive proof, the main army cannot be mobilized on a whim."

"The operation at Wild Wolf Slope will proceed as planned."

Dai Mubai did not argue.

He simply nodded, turned around, and walked out of the command tent.

But the moment he stepped out, he glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was following behind him.

"Zhuqing, you stay here."

"If I don't return, you go back to Star Luo City."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression shifted, and she immediately grabbed his sleeve.

"What are you planning to do?"

Dai Mubai looked toward the night in the distance, a wild, arrogant smile curling at the corners of his lips.

"Since they don't believe me, I will go and prove it to them."

"Since the army cannot be moved, I will go alone."

"I am going to burn down Black Wind Valley!"

"Alone?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? That's deep behind enemy lines!"

Dai Mubai reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Don't worry."

"A large group is easier to expose."

"By myself, I can come and go as I please."

"Wait here for news of my victory."

Having said that, his figure flashed, and he vanished directly into the night.

Venturing into danger alone!

A lone blade facing the enemy!

At this moment, the hearts of the viewers in both the White World and the Black World were in their throats.

This was too reckless!

Going alone to burn the enemy's main camp supplies?

This wasn't just confidence; this was dancing on the edge of a blade!

On the screen.

Dai Mubai moved like a ghost, weaving through the Black Forest.

He was exceptionally skilled at using the terrain and the cover of night to conceal himself.

Even when he encountered enemy sentries, he struck instantly—covering their mouths, slitting their throats, and dragging them away in one fluid motion.

Not a single sound was made.

The sheer proficiency of his killing technique made countless soul masters' scalps tingle.

Was this really the twelve-year-old prince?

This was clearly a top-tier assassin who had been licking blood off the edge of a blade for years!

Finally.

He crept up to Black Wind Valley.

Just as he had expected, the supplies were piled high like mountains, yet the defenses were not tight.

Because the attention of the Heaven Dou army was entirely focused on the trap at Wild Wolf Slope.

Dai Mubai did not rush to act.

Like a patient hunter, he lay in the grass, lurking for a full two hours.

Until the dead of night, at the moment when the wind was strongest.

He moved.

White Tiger Meteor Shower!

Countless golden orbs of light did not attack the guards directly; instead, they landed with precision upon the piles of grain that had been doused in lamp oil.

Boom!

Flames soared into the sky!

Riding the wind, the raging fire instantly swallowed the entire Black Wind Valley.

"Enemy attack! Fire!"

"Quick, put it out!"

The Heaven Dou army fell into immediate chaos.

Amidst the sky-filling flames, a golden figure wove through the sea of fire, reaping the lives of the panicked commanders.

He left after the deed was done, hiding his name and merit.

By the moment the fire spiraled completely out of control, Dai Mubai had already fought his way out of the encirclement amidst the chaos, vanishing into the vast night.

"His Majesty is mighty!"

"So cool!"

The White World was in a complete uproar.

Countless young women gazed at the back retreating from the sea of fire, their eyes filled with stars.

This is what you call a lone hero!

This is what you call calculated perfection!

This is a real man!

Inside the Imperial Garden of the palace.

Qian Renxue watched the sky-piercing flames on the screen, the light in her eyes turning exceptionally tender.

She whispered softly:

"It was that very moment."

"Back then, I was right there in the Heaven Dou camp."

"I watched with my own eyes as that fire turned half the sky red."

"At that time, I wondered what kind of man could possess such courage and means."

"Later, I found out it was you."

"In that moment, I knew I had lost."

"I, Qian Renxue, have always prided myself on being brilliant, but in front of you that night, I seemed to pale in comparison."

Having said this, Qian Renxue turned her head to look at Dai Mubai beside her, her eyes filled with a trace of infatuation.

"You stole my heart at that very moment."

This deep, affectionate confession caused the alarm bells to ring instantly for Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu nearby.

Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes, staring at Qian Renxue.

"Oh, I see."

"So you had your eyes on Mubai back then?"

"No wonder, I always thought the way Xue Qinghe looked at Mubai was strange when we met in Heaven Dou City later!"

Xiao Wu was even more indignant, slamming her teacup onto the table.

"Vixen!"

"This is a real vixen!"

"To think she hid it so well!"

"Boss Dai, tell us, did you know she was watching you the whole time?"

Surrounded by the three women and feeling the thick scent of jealousy, Dai Mubai did not panic; instead, he burst into laughter.

He pulled Qian Renxue's shoulder toward him and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

"This is called charm."

"What can I do? Your husband is just too outstanding."

"Being coveted by others is the norm."

"However..."

Dai Mubai leaned into Qian Renxue's ear and whispered:

"Since you fell in love with me back then, shouldn't you compensate me tonight for all these years of my ignorance?"

Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed, but she cast him a seductive, sidelong glance.

"That depends on whether His Majesty has the ability to do so."

On the side of the White World, the flirting made for a heated atmosphere.

But over in the Black World.

Everyone watched that figure calmly walking away from the fire, then looked at their own Dai Mubai, who did nothing but bicker and achieve nothing.

That sense of disparity left every citizen of the Star Luo Empire feeling desperate.

"Why..."

"Why were we assigned this piece of trash?"

"Heavens, this is unfair!"

Countless people screamed in their hearts.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue of the Black World sat in her study, watching herself on the screen deliver that confession, and she was completely stunned.

Her cheeks turned scorching hot in an instant.

"I..."

"I would fall in love with him?"

"If it's that Dai Mubai... it seems... it's not impossible."

Black World, Star Luo Square.

Although the fire filling the sky was within the Sky Screen, occurring in another parallel world, the sense of shock struck the heart of every single person present.

It was unclear who started it, but someone shouted.

"White Emperor of Heaven!"

Immediately after, this title spread like a plague.

"Long live the White Emperor of Heaven!"

"This is what a true man of Star Luo looks like!"

"One man, one sword, charging into the enemy camp alone, burning their lines, and retreating unscathed! Could anything be more blood-pumping than this?"

The commoners, who had previously been utterly disappointed in the Star Luo Imperial Family, felt a light reignite in their eyes.

They looked at that golden silhouette on the Sky Screen, as if they were seeing the hope of the empire.

Even though that hope did not belong to their world.

The cheers rose in wave after wave.

In the crowd, several young spirit masters were so excited their faces turned bright red, wishing they could rush into the screen to follow that "White Emperor."

And in a corner of the square.

The Dai Mubai belonging to this world stood there all alone.
