486: Bai Guang's decision

The intelligence network and informants deployed by the Cosmic Alliance, like an invisible giant net, covered every corner of the vast Cosmic Battlefield.

Even though Wan Hai and his group possessed deep cultivation and acted with extreme caution, they inevitably left behind some subtle traces and fluctuations while rushing at full speed toward the Yuan Ling Universe.

Although these faint auras were obscure and difficult to detect, they ultimately could not escape the capture of the Alliance's monitoring System.

At this moment, Bai Guang's injuries had long since fully recovered, and his strength was even greater than before.

After receiving a secret report from his subordinates regarding the movements of Wan Hai's group, his gaze suddenly sank, and a trace of obvious annoyance and a sharp chill flashed across his eyes.

He almost immediately concluded that the purpose of Wan Hai and the others' trip must be related to that supreme treasure—the xuanhuang one qi pagoda.

They must be attempting to borrow the supreme power of this pagoda to contend against the power of the spirit wood leaf that he wielded.

If this were not the case, it would be truly difficult to explain why those Hongmeng Realm Experts would not return to their own territories, but instead head straight for a remote, desolate Yuan Ling Universe with thin Spiritual Qi.

A cold and resolute killing intent flickered in Bai Guang's eyes; what shone through his gaze was not just hostility, but a cold determination to eliminate them at all costs.

Star Swallower's judgment was not wrong in the slightest; he had keenly sensed the dangerous aura coming from Bai Guang—as long as Star Swallower died, Bai Guang's next target would undoubtedly be Wan Hai.

Once Wan Hai was also completely eliminated by him, no one else in the entire Cosmic Battlefield would be able to pose a substantial threat to him; all obstacles would crumble, and he would truly stand at the pinnacle of the billions of small Universes.

At this moment, Bai Guang only had a vague impression of Xun Xiuyuan and did not regard him as an opponent worth taking seriously; his attention was entirely focused on stronger enemies, as if Xun Xiuyuan were merely an insignificant speck of dust.

Bai Guang's tone was cold and hard, and he issued an order to Bai Yun in front of him without room for doubt: "Bai Yun, convey my Alliance Leader's order: summon the top hundred Universes within the Alliance, assemble all military forces, and launch a full-scale attack on the Neutral Alliance, as well as all the Families that still choose to follow them."

His attitude was extremely resolute, and his methods were fierce and decisive, revealing a powerful determination to clear obstacles at any cost.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yun furrowed his brows, showing a worried expression, and responded hesitantly: "Old Ancestor, there are still several Hongmeng Realm Experts in the Neutral Alliance; even if they have not reached the Peak, they are definitely not easy to deal with. If we force a full-scale attack, our army will surely pay a heavy price, and countless Cultivators and soldiers will be buried in the sea of stars."

In his heart, he did not wish to see the entire Cosmic Battlefield fall into deeper blood and fire, with living creatures suffering and Star Domains collapsing; in his view, such sacrifices were unnecessary.

After all, the Cosmic Alliance already controlled nearly ninety percent of the territory in the entire Cosmic Battlefield; those remote, marginal corners were really not worth fighting for at such a huge cost.

Bai Guang turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Bai Yun, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he slowly said: "That Wan Hai is actually not from the Blue Star Great Universe, but a Puppet controlled by a mighty figure from outside the domain. His only purpose in sneaking into our Universe was to completely destroy the Foundation of the Blue Star Great Universe. This time, he and Star Swallower secretly joined forces and set a trap to kill me, precisely to dismantle the defense System of the entire Universe. However, they never expected that under the miraculous blessing of the spirit wood leaf, my strength had long since far exceeded their estimates, which is why their conspiracy failed."

He paused for a moment, his tone turning serious, "Precisely because of this, we must not have a shred of mercy when dealing with these people with ulterior motives. They must be completely eradicated to prevent future trouble."

Upon hearing this, a trace of shock and doubt flashed across Bai Yun's face.

This news was truly too shocking, making it difficult for him to fully accept it for a moment.

But on second thought, Old Ancestor Bai Guang was not only the strongest in the Blue Star Great Universe but also the person he had admired and worshipped the most since he was a child.

After a brief period of contemplation, Bai Yun finally understood the deep meaning and good intentions behind the Old Ancestor's words.

He nodded solemnly and said with a firm gaze: "Old Ancestor, please rest assured; I will definitely handle this matter properly and will never fail your expectations."

With just a few short words, the two of them had decided the life and death fate of billions of living beings in countless small Universes.

Such a major decision seemed so light and breezy in their mouths.

After making the promise, Bai Yun immediately turned and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the Void Realm, leaving Bai Guang standing alone in place.

Bai Guang's gaze was deep and distant, and after pondering for a moment, he transmitted his voice to Ye Mao again: "Brother Ye, I will re-apply the Seal on that myriad things cauldron and bury it deep in the core of the earth. You can rest assured about this matter. As for the Yuan Ling Universe, I will go there myself and will definitely seek justice for you. Brother, you just need to wait for good news."

After the voice transmission was finished, Bai Guang's figure gradually faded and finally left the Blue Star Universe completely.

Listening to Bai Guang's message, a knowing smile could not help but appear on the corner of Ye Mao's mouth.

He had known and interacted with Bai Guang for tens of thousands of years and understood this old friend's Heart-Nature better than anyone.

Bai Guang had always been selfish; how could he go to the Yuan Ling Universe for his own affairs? There must be another purpose.

Regardless, this trip to the Yuan Ling Universe would inevitably stir up a storm.

However, the current Ye Mao had long since looked at such grievances and disputes with indifference.

All his attention was poured into re-cultivating his Cultivation Technique.

What was amazing was that in just a few short years, his comprehension of the Law of Metal had advanced by leaps and bounds, far exceeding his hard cultivation of the past tens of thousands of years.

Such rapid progress made Ye Mao increasingly admire the mysterious existence who bestowed the Cultivation Technique, and he could not help but deeply marvel at the profoundness and wonder of this technique.

In a fairyland that resembled a paradise away from the world, there were birds singing and flowers fragrant everywhere, with lush greenery, like a secret Holy Land carefully carved by nature.

A tall, humanoid creature with deep blue skin was sitting cross-legged among the colorful flowers and lush green grass.

He resembled the Avatar from the movie, his body shrouded in a faint shimmer, giving people a mysterious and eerie feeling.

Opposite him, a faint, translucent phantom of a soul beast was floating; the figure was flickering, as if woven from light, shadow, and energy, emitting a ghostly aura.

The blue-skinned figure slowly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, and said: "Recently, I have noticed that your mood seems exceptionally joyful; have you made any major progress in your cultivation or plans?"

The illusory soul beast figure flickered slightly in the air, as if thinking, and then emitted a low and ethereal voice: "Kayu, do you still remember the two little guys from the Blue Star Great Universe who broke in here before?"

The blue-skinned creature called Kayu frowned slightly; he naturally remembered it clearly—especially that Hongmeng Realm named Bai Guang, who was an important part of his layout, so how could he easily forget.

More importantly, this Hongmeng Realm had also taken away a supreme treasure right under their noses.

It's just that Kayu did not tell the other party that he had already used a secret technique to plant a seed in Bai Guang's mind.
