Parallel-Timeline Bai Chenxiang Revived! TOP 4: Tian Bing Wu Changkong

Bai Chenxiang was stunned too, and she could not help feeling a little bitter.

"Could the Sky Curtain be wrong?"

Bai He shook his head and said:

"The Sky Curtain said from the start that it was ranking the ten most melancholy people across different timelines."

"We've seen people from the modern era and people from ten thousand years in the future."

"Who knows which timeline this Ma Hongjun from the Divine Realm belongs to?"

"If these are different timelines, it's only natural that they differ from our world."

Bai Chenxiang murmured:

"Why wasn't I that lucky? Why didn't I meet the Ma Hongjun from that world?"

In the Divine Realm of a parallel timeline.

Ma Hongjun watched the Sky Curtain reveal his story and fell silent.

"So it wasn't my fault?"

He had never imagined that he had failed to inherit the Fire God Divine Position because the Fire God's divine artifact was not on Douluo Star!

Yet he had suffered and brooded over it for countless years.

Were he and Xiangxiang destined for tragedy?

[This ranking has concluded. Reward for Ma Hongjun, Phoenix God of a parallel timeline: divine power raised to the level of a First-Level God; may revive one person and raise them to the rank of Divine Officer.]

In the Divine Realm of a parallel timeline.

A searing power of flame suddenly erupted.

It far surpassed that of the Fire God, a First-Level God!

The Fire God frowned.

"The Phoenix God can actually rise to the level of a First-Level God? What exactly is this Sky Curtain?"

"And he can revive someone and raise them to the rank of Divine Officer."

"More importantly, it didn't specify whom he had to choose."

After all, many gods had lost family members or lovers without ever having a chance to revive them.

Yet Ma Hongjun had been given that chance.

In an instant.

Several powerful gods descended beside Ma Hongjun.

"Ma Hongjun, I'll owe you a favor. Give me that chance to revive someone!"

They tried to make Ma Hongjun give up on reviving Bai Chenxiang.

Ma Hongjun looked toward the figure beside him.

"Little Bird, I won't be separated from you again!"

Then, accompanied by a swift's cry, a figure appeared beside him.

It was Bai Chenxiang.

Bai Chenxiang's eyes reddened. "This time, I'm staying with you! In life or death!"

Ma Hongjun gripped her hand and declared, "Come and fight, all of you!"

Just then.

God King Tang San arrived with Dai Mubai and the others.

"If you want to lay a hand on the Phoenix God, you'll have to get past me!"

God King Tang San had been watching the Sky Curtain all along.

Even with his power as a God King, he could not interfere with it.

He could only watch and see what happened.

He had not expected the Sky Curtain to make up for Ma Hongjun's greatest regret.

It had even remedied the Phoenix God's weakness.

That strengthened their side yet again.

Most importantly, Douluo Continent did not exist in only one timeline.

In a parallel timeline, he had actually sunk so low that he harmed his own daughter to obtain Douluo Star's Power of Destiny.

He thought:

Could the me in that world have been ensnared by evil thoughts or inner demons?

In the world of Douluo I.

Sunset Forest.

After the Sky Curtain confirmed that it had shown Ma Hongjun from a parallel timeline.

Ma Hongjun scratched his head in embarrassment.

He tried to save face.

"I'll work hard to learn from him!"

Ning Rongrong scoffed:

"You're already impure. How are you going to learn from him?"

"If you're that determined, you could cut it off!"

Ma Hongjun's face turned red with rage. "Ning Rongrong! Aaaah! Why is your tongue so vicious?"

Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, seemed to have forgotten how confidently he had declared that the Ma Hongjun on the Sky Curtain was the one standing beside them.

At the Speed Clan.

Once Bai Chenxiang saw the confirmation.

She turned to her grandfather and said:

"Grandpa, since my Ma Hongjun doesn't exist in this timeline, stop pressuring me!"

Bai He felt a headache coming on. "All right, all right!"

How was he supposed to urge her to marry in the future?

At Spirit Hall.

"Revival?"

Qian Daoliu stared at the Sky Curtain. It could actually bring someone back to life!

Shock surged through him.

"It can raise the dead and even make them gods?"

Qian Daoliu could not help wondering.

If the Sky Curtain truly had that power, how he wished it could bring his son Qian Xunji back.

In a courtyard.

"No wonder he's the most melancholy person in the Divine Realm!"

As Huo Yuhao marveled at the Phoenix God's devotion.

Phainon took the grilled fish from his hand.

Phainon smiled and said:

"This grilled fish is delicious."

"Let's call this one fifty copper coins."

Huo Yuhao's face darkened.

Even at fifty copper coins each, he would have to grill ten thousand fish to pay off five thousand Gold Soul Coins.

At that rate, before he became any God of Emotion, he would become the God of Grilled Fish!

He sighed.

Seeing Ma Hongjun reminded him of Ma Xiaotao.

Senior Xiaotao treated him well, but someone else already held a place in his heart.

Wang Dong noticed the way Huo Yuhao was looking at her. Blushing, she said:

"Huo Yuhao, what are you staring at? I think of you as a brother."

"Don't go getting any ideas."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and said guiltily:

"I'm not."

Phainon found the sight amusing.

These tentative exchanges before a romance began really were interesting.

Romance truly was the foundation of this continent of love.

He even suspected that Douluo Continent's God of Love liked stirring things up.

Come to think of it.

This counted as a workplace romance, didn't it?

It was his first time being a boss.

He could not be the stick that beat the lovebirds apart. If anything, he ought to support them more and look after these two children who had traveled ten thousand years from home.

So.

Phainon asked:

"What do you two plan to do in this timeline?"

A question mark might as well have appeared over Wang Dong's head. Why did that sound so much like a job interview?

She had barely arrived, and he was already asking about her plans for the future.

She pursed her lips and said:

"Plans? Aren't I working for you right now?"

Phainon was speechless.

She was plainly implying that he was a heartless boss.

Phainon protested:

"I'm not that heartless, all right?"

"You came all this way, and I even gave you a job, didn't I?"

"Nine to five, with weekends off."

"I'm renting staff housing for you too."

"Room and board included."

"Isn't that good enough?"

Phainon thought: In my previous life, if someone had offered me a job like that, I'd have sworn him in as my godfather!

Huo Yuhao thought: That doesn't sound bad.

It seemed he had misunderstood Phainon. The shopkeeper was not so heartless after all.

Qian Renxue gave Phainon a surprised look.

She had not expected him to be so decent.

Hearing the benefits Phainon listed, Wang Dong thought: So I'm supposed to thank you profusely?

Still.

In this world ten thousand years in the past, she had no faction to rely on.

Now that she knew her father was the mastermind behind everything, she was even less willing to seek out the Tang San of this era.

Besides, her so-called father had done so many rotten things that everyone was probably ready to gang up on him.

She had no intention of drawing any of that fire.

I need to find a chance to grow stronger first.

Wang Dong knew she was not strong enough to involve herself in the upheaval sweeping the continent.

For now, she would treat Phainon's place as somewhere to stay.

Phainon seemed powerful, and she felt safer at his side.

Once she had learned enough about this timeline and paid off her debt, she would get out of there!

She tested the waters with the question that mattered most to her:

"If I get the chance, I want to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

At that, Qian Renxue gave her an odd look.

"You're too late!"

"If the Sky Curtain is right and Tang San is your father, he should have gone to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well already."

"Dugu Bo is probably there too."

"That place has likely become the focus of every faction's attention. With your strength, going there would be like serving yourself up on a platter."

Wang Dong's face fell. She had expected that answer, but hearing it still stung.

Even ten thousand years later, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well remained one of the continent's richest sources of resources.

If only she had traveled a little further back in time.

Then she could have snatched the Immortal Herbs before her so-called father got to them!

Huo Yuhao wore an odd expression.

By that logic, didn't that mean Dai Mubai, an ancestor of the Dai Family, was here?

If he killed Dai Mubai, would Huo Yuhao himself still exist in the future?

He shook his head and forced himself not to think about it.

The most important thing was to grow stronger!

And he had to protect Wang Dong, too!

Just then...

The Sky Curtain shifted!
