Chapter 784: Chapter 747: The Only Future

Hearing the Princess’s strong and determined response as well as her unwavering demeanor, Xu Bai almost laughed out loud, “This is your plan?”

“To place your hopes on a legendary hero who might not even exist?”

Xu Bai shook his head continuously: “It seems the organization has somewhat overestimated your worth.”

However, the Princess’s didn’t seem offended by Xu Bai’s scorn.

Instead, she had a resolute look in her eyes: “Our awaited savior, whom we have waited for thousands of years, will inevitably appear…”

“Before the Xuanhuang World falls completely.”

...

“This is a devout belief passed down from the Sacred Emperor. No matter what policies emperors throughout the Empire’s history have formulated, none can contradict it.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai, who had intended to ridicule the princess, thought of something and suddenly fell silent.

Undoubtedly, the only one who could convince Xu Ke so strongly would be Mr. Bai.

“So Mr. Bai foresaw that years later, a heroic person would drop from the sky and save the Xuanhuang World from a catastrophe?”

Xu Bai couldn’t help but feel absurd.

Yet he thought back to the haunting Calamity Transcendence Sect, seemingly tied to him in some way.

Perhaps…it is not an impossible situation.

At least the “Person to Overcome Calamity” designated by the Calamity Transcendence Sect points at him.

Xu Bai couldn’t help but frown.

“Considering that Mr. Bai cultivated a new variety of Splitting Realm Whales, allowing many Mortal Worlds to keep a distance from the Xuanhuang World, the final plan of the empire is essentially consistent with other Mortal Worlds.”

“It’s just that the subjective initiative of the Empire is stronger and able to keep a farther distance from the Xuanhuang World. As for other worlds, they are forced to accept without understanding what really happened.”

“The difference stems from the connection between Xu Ke and Mr. Bai. Perhaps that was the matter Lu Ya had instructed Xu Ke to handle before his death.”

“The question now is, could Mr. Bai and the Calamity Transcendence Sect really have predicted the existence of myself and [Real] a millennium ago?”

Just a moment later, Xu Bai rejected this speculation.

[Real] can turn the truth into falsehood, reality into illusion, and return everything in the world to the original anchor point in an instant.

Even the legendary True Immortal could not match such ability.

If Mr. Bai and the Calamity Transcendence Sect could predict the presence of [Real] in the world, why would they need to wait for any savior? With their power, they should be able to solve the trouble of the Immortal Ruins themselves.

“The methods of the Calamity Transcendence Sect might be similar to Elder Brother Zhang’s. Only when certain conditions are met, would they set their eyes on you. They might also be casting a wide net. The so-called Person to Overcome Calamity may not only be me.”

“As for Mr. Bai…”

Xu Bai remained silent.

It was still unknown how he could be so certain that someone would come to save the Xuanhuang World a thousand years later.

The reason couldn’t simply be hope, right?

“In the infinite future, there are infinite possibilities. This means that no matter how small the possibility is, everything will inevitably happen under the precondition of the [infinite].” An old phrase from [Emperor One] suddenly popped up in Xu Bai’s mind.

“Perhaps, in the countless futures foresaw by Mr. Bai, the possibility of the Xuanhuang World being saved did emerge. Just like what I saw when I merged with the environment in my previous life, although the Xuanhuang Word had gone through the withering of all things and the collapse of civilization. In the end, it still welcomed the rejuvenating sunlight. Even though I’m not clear about what happened in between, in a sense, if the Empire can really hold on until that time, maybe their strategy could be considered successful.”

Xu Bai had an epiphany.

The princess quietly watched while Xu Bai was lost in thought.

“Okay, if it’s based on the judgment of my ancestors, there might be some truth to it. However, unfortunately, as it looks right now, without the help of our United Federation of All Realms, your empire probably wouldn’t survive to see that day,” said Xu Bai, waking up not long after, echoing the same slightly mocking tone.

“Although we are distant relatives and I really want to lend you a hand, it is not solely my decision on the usage right over the treasure that hides the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror. You need to put some sincerity into it, or else I can’t do anything,” he shrugged, appearing helpless.

The princess nodded slightly and said, “While you were touring the Nine-Headed Temple, we also learned about the changes that had taken place in the Xuanhuang World. The Transcendence Mansion, the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror…”

“Indeed it has exceeded what we can resist. After some discussions, if we can exchange resources for the help of your United Federation of All Realms…”

“No one in the empire would oppose. After all, those nobles are not only afraid of death, but they are also afraid of losing their current status,” the princess looked calm as if she were talking about something ordinary.

“Hehe, it seems that the empire is more opportunistic than I thought. That’s good, it saves me some persuasions. But…” Xu Bai paused, a smirk appearing on his face, “Under the current crisis situation, facing the intense pressure from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, our Union can’t spread the resources evenly. We will prioritize assistance based on the potential shown by different small worlds.”

“So, if you want to obtain more of our help, it depends on how much valuable stuff your empire has.”

“I might as well tell you directly, what you pride yourself on, that technique of exotic beast breeding, in our view, is only worthy of being cannon fodder. That alone is far from enough to sway the profit-driven old men in the Union,” Xu Bai coldly said.

The princess nodded faintly, expressing her understanding.

Then she flew forward, saying, “Follow me.”

After speeding through the Empire Treasury for a while, she stopped in front of a mechanical device.

The device was composed of several different continually moving rings, with numbers faintly visible and changing rapidly.

“This is the crystallization of the thirteenth emperor’s hard work, the [Celestial Coordinate Tracker of the Void],” the princess introduced to Xu Bai with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

“During Void navigation, it can record and save the data of the surrounding space, and set the course according to the preset destination, so we won’t get lost in the Void. Also, it can mark the coordinates of places we passed…”

“It’s a bit useful, but not very much,” Xu Bai interrupted the princess expressively. “Our primary pressure now is still how we can survive from the first wave of sweep by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

The princess nodded to show her understanding and then led Xu Bai to a spherical bead.

“This is?” Xu Bai squinted.

From this bead, he could feel both the spiritual energy and the aura of demonic beasts.
