A World Worth Protecting

1450 Chapter 1452, the passage of time

Wang Baole left the stone stele world.

He returned to the Great Cosmos and the Immortal Dipper continent.

It was as if he had completed a knot in his heart. After returning, Wang Baole silently chose a mountain peak and sat cross-legged in meditation. He began his cultivation. However, it didn’t take long for him to grow tired of cultivation.

Having mastered the immortal intent, he was, to a certain extent, already an immortal. It had been a long time since he had fought with anyone, and he didn’t know how high his cultivation had reached.

That wasn’t important.

What was important was that he realized that, compared to cultivation, he preferred to look at all living things. The mountain he had chosen was tall enough, and his divine thoughts were vast enough. That allowed Wang Baole to see everything.

He looked at the immortal dipper continent. With just one look... it had been three hundred years.

Over the past three hundred years, the development of the Immortal Dipper Continent had reached the point where it was about to explode. It began to stop floating in the air. As it stopped, a large number of stars were drawn towards it, with the immortal dipper continent as the center, a new galaxy was formed.

At the same time, Wang Baole took out the stone stele realm and merged it with the land of Immortals. It became a small world that looked like a world beyond the heavens, and it became connected to the land of Immortals.

Under his protection, the integration of the stone stele realm went smoothly. At the same time, due to the exchange of information and communication between the two sides, the development of the stone stele realm had entered a period of explosion.

Time passed again. Wang Baole sat cross-legged, motionless... for a thousand years, his body slowly turned into a statue.

In the past thousand years, Wang Yiyi had come a hundred times, her senior brother had come a hundred times, and Wang Yiyi’s father had come once.

It was the only time in the past thousand years that Wang Yiyi’s father had come. He stood beside the statue that Wang Baole had turned into and didn’t say a word. He accompanied Wang Baole and watched the living beings for a year. Then, he sighed softly and left.

Time flowed again. The second thousand years, the third thousand years, and the first ten thousand years... arrived.

The number of times that his senior brother had come was the same as before. He would come once every ten years. He would sit beside the statue, drink wine, and talk. His cultivation had reached an astonishing level. He had walked across several heavenly bridges.

It was the same for Wang Yiyi. She came once every ten years as well. Every time, she would stare at Wang Baole’s statue in a daze. There was a complicated look in her eyes, along with a hint of fatigue.

Wang Baole remained motionless. The statue watched the world change. It watched the mountains and rivers rise and fall. It watched all life die and be born. It watched all the civilized races in the entire cosmos fight and die one wave after another, wave after wave reappeared.

The second ten thousand years, the third ten thousand years... the first one hundred thousand years flowed before Wang Baole’s eyes. The world... had unknowingly undergone a huge change.

It was the same in the starry skies.

The stone tablet realm and the Immortal Dipper continent had completely merged together, and they were indistinguishable from each other.

Wang Yiyi had come for the last time in the seventh 10,000 years. That time, she had looked at Wang Baole’s statue. The fatigue in her eyes was extremely strong. Before she left, she spoke softly.

“Father told me everything. In the future... I might not come again. It’s not because of your story, but because father wants to send me to a place. He said... You know that place. It’s called the Brilliant Heavenly Star Ring.”

“I’ll continue to wait...”Wang Yiyi murmured. She bid farewell.

After she left, on the ninth ten thousand years, her senior brother came to bid farewell. That day, his senior brother drank a lot of wine and finally sighed softly.

“Baole, why can’t you see through it...”he shook his head and left.

Just like Wang Yiyi, he never returned,

it wasn’t until the first hundred thousand years that Wang Yiyi’s father came for the second time. He stood beside Wang Baole’s statue and spoke softly.

“Fellow Daoist, I have broken through and ascended to the heavens. Yiyi, your senior brother, and many others will be leaving with me. If you decide to leave with me, please wake up.”

The statue that Wang Baole had transformed into remained motionless.

Wang Yiyi’s father waited for a year before finally leaving. He left the grand celestial pole continent, the cosmos, the starry skies, and the thick Saturn ring.

Eighty percent of the people on the immortal dipper continent followed him, and seventy percent of the civilizations in the universe followed him. The entire universe seemed to have become much emptier.

However, the remaining people still had to survive and develop. As time passed, new life appeared, and new civilizations rose. As for the immortal dipper continent, due to its former uniqueness and power.., it still maintained its original status. In this vast universe, it gradually... became more powerful.

However, almost all the clansmen here... had the bloodline of the federation. They could no longer tell whether this was the federation or the immortal dipper.

The calculation of time seemed to become a tedious matter. One day, a person arrived at the statue that Wang Baole had transformed into.

The demonic qi emanating from this person was monstrous, enough to cause the entire universe to tremble. He stood in front of the statue and looked at it silently for a long time before bowing deeply.

“You don’t have to return the favor to me.”

Then, the person left the universe and the thick Saturn ring.

A long time passed before a second figure that caused the entire universe to tremble arrived. His arrival seemed to have affected the essence of the statue. It was as if there was a connection between his bloodline and the statue.

“My attitude towards Luo is very complicated, and you were born from the stone monument realm that was formed from his right hand... so I can be considered to have helped you a little... how about this... If one day you go to the brilliant heavens star ring, could you please take care of me?”The figure smiled, then, with a solemn expression, he bowed deeply to the statue, turned around, and left.

A few years later, another figure appeared. Monstrous demonic qi seemed to dye the starry sky red, turning the entire universe into a blood moon. Under the reflection of the blood moon, this figure walked to the side of the statue, the living beings that had watched with him for a long time.

In the end, he did not say a word. After bowing, he left the universe.

As these figures left, the universe seemed to become much quieter. Because each civilization had their own civilization, as the three figures left one after another, the silence of the universe came from the emptiness.

However, that was how life was. There were times when it withered, and there were times when it bloomed.

Time... was the best nutrient.

Countless years had passed. Life and civilization had flourished once again in the entire universe. Countless races were struggling, and as they were destroyed time and time again, countless possibilities had emerged.

The Immortal Dipper continent had also collapsed, turning into hundreds of thousands of stars that floated in the universe. The statue of Wang Baole was located on one of the stars.

At the same time, with the development of the civilization and the evolution of the races, there were more and more ways to allow people from various races to leave the cosmos and explore more areas.

Just like that, as more and more civilizations ventured out to explore and interact with other galaxies, the news about the outside of the cosmos gradually turned into countless pieces of information that were known to all living beings in the cosmos.

One of the pieces of information was that the moment it was formed... the statue that had been motionless for countless years trembled slightly.

The news was that... in a star area that was very far away from the great cosmos, a member of a civilization had shared something with the outside world. A million years ago, a mysterious continent had drifted past their star area, wherever it passed, all living beings would have their desires burst out, turning into senseless lust demons.
