They stared at each other. Although it was only for a moment, Wang Baole's mind seemed to last for an eternity.
Then, he stopped the Yuanying of the stars and closed his eyes, covering the stars hidden in the firmament. He raised his right hand and waved the drumstick in his hand. Everyone around him was shocked when he struck the drum for the fourteenth time!
The elegant cultivator and the black-robed youth were shocked again when he struck the drum for the fifteenth time!
Jingle Bell's eyes were bloodshot, and she had fallen into despair. He struck the drum for the sixteenth time!
Under the kindness of the whole world, under the struggle of the Firmament Dao Star, he struck the drum for the seventeenth time!
Thump, thump, thump, thump. He struck the drum four times in a row. Every strike made the world roar. Every strike made the firmament distort. Every strike made all the existences here feel as if their minds were being struck.
Similarly, Wang Baole struck the drum with all his strength. However, even with the support of the kindness of the world, Wang Baole still had difficulty breathing. His body felt as if it was about to be torn apart. After all, from the tenth strike onwards, he had to support the external force with his own body.
However, in the end, he was not a Planet realm. This was not even his real body. It was just a doppelganger!
The seventeenth strike was already the limit. Even his vision became blurry. His body felt as if it would collapse at any time because it could not bear the kindness of the world.
However, the effect of these four strikes was still earth-shattering. It had reached a level that no one in the Graveyard of Stars had ever seen or even imagined!
The whole firmament seemed to be torn apart. It had no choice but to turn into a huge vortex. It was as if a storm was roaring inside. The Graveyard of Stars was trembling. As for the Dao Star, which was entangled by a large number of threads and was about to be pulled down by force, although the threads kept breaking as it struggled. However, as Wang Baole struck the Heaven-Reaching Drum four times in a row, more threads suddenly appeared like a waterfall. They seemed to have formed a big hand and … grabbed the Dao Star!
The moment he grabbed onto the Dao Star, Wang Baole's mind violently rumbled. Although he had only grabbed onto it from a distance, the feeling of touching it allowed him to instantly understand the Laws of this Dao Star.
Wang Baole's aura soared into the sky at this moment. He seemed to have merged with the world and become one with it. It was as if he had borrowed the will of the entire Graveyard of Stars and the destiny of the Starfall Empire to gather in his body. With an aura that could not be reversed, the moment he grabbed the Dao Star, Wang Baole roared with all his remaining strength and pulled fiercely!
"Get down here!"
This tug gave everyone the feeling as if the galaxy was tilting down to a great extent. The Dao Star that was originally struggling in an illusory state erupted with an extremely intense light, and a large part of it was pulled out of its illusory state.
As rumbling sounds echoed out, the galaxy caved in, and a gigantic planet appeared in the sky. It took up nearly thirty percent of the galaxy, and nearly seventy percent of the planet's body was exposed!
It could be clearly seen that more than half of the Dao Star was no longer illusory. Instead, it had become corporeal. Under this corporeal state, everyone could clearly see … that the Dao Star's full appearance was actually different from the other planets. As it hung in the sky, it looked more like … a paper star!
After being pulled out of the Dao Star, the light of the Dao Star erupted once again, forming a blinding light that gathered into a sea of light that illuminated the entire Graveyard of Stars. At the same time, an unprecedented sense of anger also descended from the Dao Star along with the sea of light!
This sense of anger was incredibly strong and incomparably clear. It was as if it could turn into a sea of fire that wanted to burn the entire world. As a Dao Star, it had its own will. It could sense that no matter how it compared itself to the tiny lifeform on the ground, it was extremely weak. There was a huge gap between the two of them, like the gap between heaven and earth.
However … because it was born in the Graveyard of Stars, and because its laws were formed along with the laws of the Graveyard of Stars, it was as if there was an ancient contract that caused it to be closely related to the Graveyard of Stars, but at the same time, it was restrained by the laws of the Graveyard of Stars!
This restraint … Before this, it did not care about it, because the Graveyard of Stars would not interfere with the choice of the other planets. However, on this day, it showed itself for the first time.
Because of this, even though it was able to remain arrogant when faced with the aura of the other Paragon, it could only passively struggle before the tiny lifeform. It was unable to take the initiative to punish the tiny lifeform for its offense.
All of this was because the fortune of the entire Starfall Empire had been bestowed upon that tiny lifeform. It was because the will of the Graveyard of Stars had also descended upon that tiny lifeform. It was as if the will of the Graveyard of Stars had also descended upon that tiny lifeform.
This was not what it wanted, so it had to struggle. It did not like that person, and did not believe that he would not disregard its name as a Dao Star. In fact, its feelings toward that person were filled with disgust. In its opinion, the only reason that person had been able to reach this point was because of external forces. It did not want such a person!
What it wanted was to choose the person next to it who was willing to make it the master and be the subordinate.
That was its choice!
That was why it was enraged, and it struggled. As its anger spread out, the sea of light erupted, and the image of flames appeared around the Dao Star, as if it were about to burst into flames. This was not self-immolation, but rather … an attempt to sever!
The Dao Star had chosen to show its determination to sever ties with the Graveyard of Stars, to prove that it would not submit to the will of the Graveyard of Stars and choose Wang Baole!
Although it could not speak, its anger spread out, causing every single being in the Starfall Empire to clearly sense its intentions. Therefore, they all fell silent.
That was because the will of the Dao Star, which was dissatisfied with Wang Baole's reliance on external forces, seemed to be correct in everyone's opinion.
In comparison, both the Bell Maiden and the black-robed young man had some external forces to help them, but overall, they mostly relied on themselves.
"You would rather sever ties with the Graveyard of Stars than choose me? Because you think I'm relying on external forces? " As Wang Baole fell silent, beside him, the Bell Maiden's eyes shone with ecstasy. The feeling of regaining something she had lost caused her aura to tremble with excitement. She was about to speak, but before she could, Wang Baole suddenly laughed.
He looked up at the Dao Star, which had been mostly drawn out by him, and smiled coldly. Suddenly, he turned to the Starfall Emperor, who was standing in front of the main hall of the imperial palace, and clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
"Senior, please take back your luck!"
The Starfall Emperor looked at Wang Baole silently and seemed to understand his choice. Therefore, he raised his right hand and waved. Immediately, cracking sounds came from outside Wang Baole's body. The traces of aura belonging to the people of the Starfall Empire that had gathered before were instantly released from his body. They spread out in all directions and returned to the bodies of all living beings.
That scene caused the eyes of all living beings in the Starfall Empire to narrow.
A strong sense of weakness also appeared in Wang Baole's body at that moment, causing his body to tremble continuously. However, he still turned around and bowed to the sky, the earth, and the world of the Starfall Empire again.
"Supreme Will of the Graveyard of Stars, please take back your blessing!"
After a moment of silence, a soft sigh reverberated clearly in the hearts of every living being in this world. As the sigh reverberated, a five-colored glow emerged from Wang Baole's body. White represented the sky, black represented the earth, green represented life, blue represented the ocean, and white represented the laws of nature.
At that moment, the light gathered at the center of Wang Baole's eyebrows. In the end, it scattered out of his body and turned into five long arcs that returned to the world.
As they left, Wang Baole's body instantly lost all support. At that moment, the luck of the Starfall Empire was gone, the goodwill of the world was gone, and his external power … could be said to have been returned. He supported himself with the Heaven Reaching Drum and stood there with great difficulty. Although his aura was weak, there was a fierce will that was rising!
At that moment, all living beings in the Graveyard of Stars were staring at him. Even the Dao Star in the sky, which had been mostly pulled out and was emitting anger, seemed to hesitate for a moment and looked at Wang Baole.
"I don't know if you're just looking for an excuse to not fuse with me."
"But no matter what, I've returned your external power. Now … watch carefully!" Wang Baole said calmly. However, when he said the last four words, he suddenly raised his head. His eyes, which had become dim because of the departure of his luck and goodwill, suddenly burst out … with a light that was even more intense than before!
That light … or more accurately, it was … starlight!
Wang Baole suddenly roared in his heart. Then, he raised his hands and fiercely pushed them toward the sky! "Stars, Yuanying!"
