Then let them offer their loyalty!

So... after a few times, God-King Lu Yao completely gave up those little schemes.

She now understood that this newly promoted high-level god-king did indeed possess some extraordinary methods, and... he was simply beyond her ability to calculate.

Instead of risking offending Qiu Tu by trying to be clever, she should honestly demonstrate her value.

After all, the strength, wisdom, and methods shown by Qiu Tu's side gave her a glimpse of a brand new future that was far brighter than relying on the Chaos Witch.

More importantly... Qiu Tu wins people's respect through his personal charm and abilities, rather than controlling people through life-or-death threats like the Chaotic Witch.

This caused Lu Yao God King's loyalty to rise again and again, increasing from 53 to 68 in just four months.

While they might not be considered die-hard loyalists, they are at least considered trusted confidants who wouldn't easily betray them.

Just as Qiu Tu was grinding for Lu Yao's loyalty, wondering when she would pledge her allegiance...

suddenly!

boom--!

A beam of emerald green light shot into the sky from inside the villa without warning, tearing apart the clear sky of "Boundless Heart Sea" and soaring straight into the clouds!

Within that pillar of light lies the purest and most extreme law of life, within which the cycle of life and death constantly evolves.

A vast and boundless life force, like a missile, instantly broke through the world barrier of the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart" and went straight into the "Ancient Continent".

The next moment, four months later, a brand new, vibrant green sun, radiating endless vitality, rose slowly over the ancient continent, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of countless living beings!

Upon witnessing this scene, Jasmine slowly opened her eyes on the throne in Aria Castle, gazing at the shimmering green sky with a complex expression...

Chapter 988 Old Bai Embarks on the Path to Supremacy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

She gazed silently at the new, emerald-green sun in the sky for a long time before slowly withdrawing her gaze.

After withdrawing her gaze, Jasmine lowered her head and looked down at Old Bai below the steps.

At this moment, Lao Bai was standing next to a girl lying down, his brows furrowed, holding an antique and exquisite box in his hand.

The girl was dressed in a pale pink palace gown, petite in stature, with skin as white as snow, and bore a resemblance to Huiming. But at this moment, her eyes were closed, her face haggard, as if she had fallen into an eternal slumber.

It was none other than... Princess Xingyue.

"Mu Xin..." Jasmine broke the silence in the hall, her voice carrying a hint of impatience, "Have you finally found a way to open this box?"

Upon hearing Jasmine's words, Lao Bai did not respond respectfully as usual. Instead, he stood there stunned, a deep sense of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Then, he looked down at the ancient box in his hand.

Then, in the next second...

"Click".

With a soft click of a mechanism opening and closing, the box in Old Bai's hand, which had been tightly closed for a thousand years, slowly opened a crack.

There were no energy fluctuations, nor any dazzling divine light. A wisp of dark purple mist silently seeped out from the crevice, like a living serpent, and gracefully drifted toward the unconscious Princess Xingyue.

The fog enveloped her silently.

The next second, something even stranger happened.

Princess Xingyue's already fair and snow-white skin began to radiate an almost transparent glow under the swirling black and purple mist, as if she were no longer flesh and blood, but a jade figure sculpted from the purest moonlight.

Her tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly, and a golden lotus mark appeared faintly between her brows before disappearing again.

Immediately afterwards, the dark purple mist seemed to be infused with a soul, its color becoming even deeper. A wisp of golden thread, finer than a strand of hair and carrying an aura of immortality and eternity, was forcibly pulled from Princess Xingyue's body and merged into the mist.

The mist swirled in the air, as if some wondrous change had occurred, and then... it changed direction, slowly enveloping Lao Bai.

As a high-level god-king, Lao Bai's speed and reaction speed are arguably at the very top of all living beings.

However... when faced with that seemingly slow-moving mist, he found that the space around him seemed to be frozen, and his soul felt as if it were being suppressed by an invisible mountain, so he couldn't even move a finger.

The next second, the dark purple mist fell directly onto him, and then, as if it had always been one with him, silently merged into his body.

"Huh?" Upon seeing this, Jasmine on the throne first let out a soft exclamation, then a hint of surprise appeared on her delicate oval face. "It's open?"

Her excitement was almost undisguised, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of joy. "Great, Muxin."

"It seems that our efforts over the past few months have not been in vain."

Hearing her words, Lao Bai wanted to say something, but... the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly seemed to think of something and swallowed them back.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded at Jasmine with a complicated look in his eyes and chose to remain silent.

Upon seeing his "admission," Jasmine's smile grew even brighter.

Barefoot, she gracefully leaped down from the throne, appearing beside Old Bai in a flash. With nimble hands, she quickly set up a dozen magic arrays shimmering with runes, firmly protecting Old Bai within them.

"Alright, then take this opportunity to try and see if you can embark on the supreme path of the 'Immortal Path'."

At this point, Jasmine paused for a moment, then said, "Don't disappoint me again."

Hearing her words, Lao Bai didn't say anything, but nodded seriously and then closed his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a massive black-purple beam of light shot up from his body, tearing apart the dome of Aria Castle and piercing the sky!

Several months later, the extraordinary sight of two suns in the sky once again appeared in the ancient continent!

One is emerald green, full of vitality; the other is purplish-black, immortal and indestructible.

However, at this moment, looking at Old Bai completely enveloped by the blackish-purple beam of light, the excitement in Jasmine's watery almond-shaped eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of unyielding wariness and hesitation...

She glanced at Old Bai, then at Princess Xingyue lying there, her brows furrowed deeply.

'The guidance from the Millennium God-King was actually true...?'

Who exactly is He? And what is He planning?

'Could it be... that He, like me, desires to attain the supreme divine kingship alone?'

'And by what means did He travel?'

Or rather... just how old is this monster? How come I've never sensed his presence?

At that moment, Jasmine felt a deep sense of dread towards this complete stranger...

......

Meanwhile.

Just as Jasmine was thinking this.

Within the dark purple pillar of light, Old Bai's soul seemed to be drawn by a gentle yet irresistible force, piercing through layers of world barriers and drifting towards a mysterious and unknown direction.

Clearly, that is the supreme path of "immortality," which exists in countless worlds but is unknown to any living being.

As they flew forward, guided by the dark purple mist, Lao Bai, like Jasmine, couldn't help but think of the "Millennium God King".

Indeed, just as Jasmine thought, the reason he was able to become a high-level god-king and even be qualified to embark on the legendary "path to immortality" was all because of the box left to him by that mysterious thousand-year-old god-king.

This box was a treasure he received when he inherited the legacy of the Thousand-Year God King.

In the message left to him by the Millennium God King, he said that once he had fulfilled all his promises, he would naturally know what was in the box.

Over the years, Lao Bai has kept this box safe and sound, never telling anyone about it.

It wasn't until recently, when Qiu Tu was officially promoted to Guardian God King and fulfilled his "promise" by returning to Aria, that he was able to retrieve the box again.

The moment he touched the box again, some information naturally surfaced in his mind, and he instantly understood what was inside—the method to embark on the supreme path of "immortality"!

To be honest, even the usually composed Lao Bai was taken aback at that moment.

It should be noted that for the past ten thousand years, the supreme path of the "Immortal Path" has remained hidden. Countless god-kings from the five major paths have fallen into the Immortal Path, yet they have spent their entire lives searching for no trace of it.

Until this century, the rumor that "Princess Star Moon is a 'born immortal,' and only those born with the 'immortal path' can embark on the supreme path of the 'immortal path,' so she holds the location of the supreme path of the 'immortal path'" spread among the high-ranking god-kings, giving them a glimmer of hope to embark on the supreme path and become supreme god-kings.

Now, a box from a thousand years ago tells him that it contains the method to embark on the supreme path of "immortality".

If Lao Bai isn't surprised by this, then there's something wrong with him!

After all, for nearly a thousand years, Lao Bai never thought he would have any hope of embarking on the path to the highest realm.

He even believed that the thousand-year-old god-kings who left this box had perished because they were unable to embark on the path to supreme power.

However... the second message transmitted by the box surprised Lao Bai even more.

Because... the information in this box told him that even though the box contained the method to embark on the "path to immortality," he still needed to obtain Princess Star and Moon in order to successfully embark on this path.

To be honest, when Lao Bai heard the news, he felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stood on end.

Princess Xingyue is only a few years old! How could that mysterious God-King of a Thousand Years have foreseen her existence a thousand years ago? And even... knew that she was born an "immortal"?

Is such a method truly something only a high-level god-king could possess?

Old Bai had been by Jasmine's side for hundreds of years, and he felt that even a powerful figure like Jasmine, who stood at the pinnacle of the entire "Eternal Continent," did not possess such methods.

So... could it be that the Millennium God-King was actually a Supreme God-King?

But... He has become the supreme god-king, so what exactly is his purpose in doing this?

Why would he help me like this?

So shocked by this discovery that Old Bai didn't even notice that the millennium-old god-king had actually predicted that he would eventually abandon the chaotic path and choose to fall into the immortal path.

After all, compared to the astonishing things the Millennium God-King had calculated, his fall into the path of immortality was really insignificant.

Anyone who knows his personality can guess that he will definitely abandon the chaotic path in order to avoid future troubles.

So... after calming himself down, Lao Bai thought it over and over, and finally took the box and went to find Jasmine.

After that, there was a series of events where he went into seclusion to study the box after being promoted to a high-level god-king, while Jasmine tried every means to help him seize Princess Star and Moon.

In the end, Jasmine, Old White, and Huiming worked together and successfully brought Princess Starmoon back from the "Immortal Trio".

Things should have been perfectly fine up to this point. Old Bai should have been able to embark directly on the path to the highest realm.

Then, something even stranger happened—even though Princess Xingyue was already beside Lao Bai, the box left behind by the Thousand-Year God King remained unresponsive and could not be opened.

And so, Old Bai tried for a full two months. He tried until even Jasmine lost patience, thinking the two of them had been tricked by that thousand-year-old god-king, or... that the box had long since become ineffective due to the passage of a thousand years, when the box opened.

Moreover, just now, at the very moment when Lariluo advanced to the High God King and the emerald green sun rose, the box in Old Bai's hand opened by itself.

That's right, Old White didn't actually do anything just now. He was just holding the box, thinking about what other methods he hadn't tried. But the box opened by itself and guided Old White to find the supreme path of "immortality".

That's why his expression was so strange when Jasmine asked him the question.

The reason he ultimately chose to remain silent and not tell Jasmine all of this was quite simple.

After so many coincidences, he finally sensed that something was wrong.

The God-King of a Thousand Years sent him to help Qiu Tu.

The box he reserved for himself to embark on the "path to the highest" will only take effect when Lariro advances in rank.

More importantly, two months ago, when they rescued Princess Starmoon from the "Immortal Trio," he learned something from them that also surprised him.

For the past two months, the "Immortal Trio" have been hiding and stalling to delay the inevitable, but they have also tried every possible means to reach the highest path through Princess Star and Moon.

However, it had no effect.

At first, he thought it was because the three leaders were incompetent. Now it seems that it wasn't a matter of incompetence at all; it was clearly a matter of fate.

The supreme path of the "Immortal Path" was likely reserved for oneself from the very beginning.

This is a game of chess that has been planned for who knows how many years.

Jasmine has been planning for a thousand years, and that thousand-year-old god-king has likely been planning for several thousand years as well.

Moreover, compared to Jasmine's strategic and meticulously planned approach, the millennium-old god-king's strategy was seemingly effortless and subtle, yet every move he made landed precisely on the most crucial juncture...

How could this not alarm Lao Bai?

He felt that Jasmine had woven this vast network that spanned the multidimensional world little by little through ingenious calculations and guidance.

That... that millennium-old god-king was practically a prophet, knowing everything that would happen a thousand years ago. He simply raised his hand, which could pierce through time, and casually placed the decisive piece at the crucial juncture.

Then... the whole situation changed!

So... this led Old White to come up with a terrible idea.

He felt he might have stumbled upon something extraordinary. He might have even learned a tremendous secret...

His life over the past thousand years may have been under someone's control, and he may have been chosen to do this a thousand years ago.
