269: The chosen one?

"Is it... over just like that?"

After experiencing such a massive battle, everyone still felt a sense of unreality.

The S-rank Alien Space riot, the Pei Family's betrayal, the intervention of the Evil Cult, the pressure from an Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm Great Demon... faced with this series of crises, everyone had prepared for a fight to the death. In the end, it turned out to be a complete farce; they didn't need to worry at all!

It must be said that while everyone was relieved, they also felt a bit empty.

"Tsk tsk, so this is the game played between big shots! Small fry like us can only watch from the sidelines."

Below, Qi Tian's gaze was complex. Although he lamented the situation, that sense of powerlessness from having low strength still permeated his heart.

It wasn't just him; everyone else felt the same!

Despite being one-in-a-million geniuses whose cultivation usually went smoothly, they really could only be spectators in a battle of this level—they could even be considered mere cannon fodder!

At this moment, many people's eyes became determined; they wanted to become stronger!

"His pace is too fast."

Su Su looked in the direction Fang Bai had left with a complex expression, her eyes somewhat dim.

She had originally been cultivating desperately, wanting to catch up to Fang Bai's footsteps, but only after taking action did she realize just how difficult it was!

When they met again, he was already at the Eighth Order!

And only a few days had passed since then, yet he had miraculously broken through to the Eighth Order Late Stage!

With such a terrifying leap, who in the world could keep up with him?

No one!

Fang Bai's level of monstrosity exceeded the sum of all these geniuses!

Su Su knew that she would never catch up to him in her lifetime!

The two of them were simply not from the same world!

"Class Monitor Su, do you like Old Bai?"

Qi Tian leaned in from the side and asked mischievously.

Su Su glanced at him and said calmly, "If you were a girl, would you like him?"

Qi Tian said certainly, "For sure! If I were a girl, I'd definitely cling to a golden thigh like Old Bai immediately. I'd want nothing more than to wash myself clean and deliver myself to his bed... Ah! I was just joking! Don't hit... Ah!... Not the face, Monitor!"

A moment later, Su Su looked at the bruised and swollen Qi Tian with satisfaction and said with a giggle, "You bastard just need a beating. If you tease me again, I'll have Fang Bai teach you a lesson!"

Qi Tian: ...Please don't. Old Bai could destroy him a thousand times over just by breathing!

Su Su had also come to terms with it now. Why was she so obsessed with chasing Fang Bai's footsteps?

Her goal should be the Extreme Realm of Martial Arts!

As the saying goes, there is an end to the Martial Dao. If she just kept heading toward that end, she would eventually see him again!

Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.

Although Magic City had suffered a second invasion, the losses were not very large because The Authorities had timely controlled the spread of the disaster.

In the sky, Old Man Wan gazed deeply toward the Blood Ghoul Strange Space.

"Are you worried about that kid?"

Su Yunsheng's voice sounded from behind him.

Old Man Wan chuckled, "Not really, he's quite impressive."

Su Yunsheng said meaningfully, "You've never even praised me like that. It's the first time I've seen you evaluate a junior this way."

Old Man Wan said with a smile, "Think back. At his age, what realm were you at?"

Su Yunsheng's brow twitched.

To be honest, at Fang Bai's age, his achievements were far inferior. Moreover, Su Yunsheng himself was a reincarnated cultivator who came with his own providence, but this kid Fang Bai... was a bit eerie!

"Do you think he might also be the reincarnation of some great power?"

Su Yunsheng categorized him as a fellow traveler.

Old Man Wan slowly shook his head, "No. If he were a reincarnator, he wouldn't be able to escape my eyes."

Su Yunsheng took a deep look at Old Man Wan. He had never been able to see through this old man. Even though he was also Ninth Rank, he always felt that he and Old Man Wan were not on the same level.

The other party seemed to have reached another domain!

Tenth Rank?

Su Yunsheng didn't know and didn't dare to think about it, because in today's world, it seemed no creature could reach the Tenth Rank!

Even those old fellows of the first generation Ninth Rank, who had cultivated bitterly for hundreds of years, were unable to step into that level!

And Su Yunsheng did not underestimate Old Man Wan; he had always regarded the other as being at the peak of the Ninth Rank!

"Then what kind of background could he have?"

A sharp light flashed in Old Man Wan's eyes as he said slowly, "There is one possibility. The little guy is very likely the legendary child of destiny."

"Huh?"

Su Yunsheng's mouth twitched, and his expression became strange. "Old Man Wan, do you also like reading xianxia novels?"

"???"

Old Man Wan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. "I'm not joking. Do you know what a child of destiny is?"

Su Yunsheng said uncertainly, "Someone like me?"

Old Man Wan fell silent for a moment.

Su Yunsheng gave an embarrassed smile. "Well, I was just joking."

Old Man Wan paused, then said slowly, "Actually, you count as half of one. A so-called child of destiny is truly born of providence, favored by the Heavenly Dao, obtaining heaven-defying fortunes, and ultimately holding the universe in their hands, suppressing all eternity..."

"And you say you don't read xianxia novels!!"

Su Yunsheng stared at him with wide eyes.

Aren't these terms straight out of a novel?

Old Man Wan coughed lightly. "This is the truth! To put it simply, a child of destiny has no shackles in their cultivation, no bottlenecks, explosive luck, and cultivates as easily as drinking water. Moreover, no matter what happens, they won't die!"

"The little guy fits all these points."

Su Yunsheng thought about it and agreed. Then he frowned and said, "Then do you think he can break through that step in a short time?"

Old Man Wan's expression was deep. "Even if he can't, he must. After all, there isn't much time left for him, and there isn't much time left for the human race!"

Su Yunsheng turned his head to look, then said, "To be honest, the probability of the human race's extinction isn't high."

"Why do you say that?" Old Man Wan asked curiously.

Su Yunsheng said sincerely, "Because the human race has you!"

Old Man Wan laughed, then slowly shook his head. "I am very strong—stronger than you can imagine—but the human race cannot rely on me alone. Do you understand what I mean?"

Su Yunsheng said solemnly, "Is your lifespan running out? Or are you about to fall?"

Usually, when an old man says something like that, if there's no accident, an accident is about to happen.

Old Man Wan shook his head. "Our enemies are not as simple as you imagine. In short, everyone's pace must quicken. Otherwise, there is only death!"

He looked down at the people cleaning up the battlefield and said, "They will die."

Then he looked at Su Yunsheng again and spoke clearly, "The Ninth Rank will also die!"

Su Yunsheng's expression immediately became grave!

Since entering the Ninth Rank, Su Yunsheng had always felt he could walk unhindered in this world. Even against the strongest Demon God, he could retreat safely, so he had always maintained a nonchalant attitude.

But at this moment, he felt a bit uneasy!
