The Protectors left, turning into three beams of golden light. The Black and White Gods and their personal Divine Beasts remained by Xia Fei's side, helping him take the brunt of the lightning.
The conversation just now had given Xia Fei a great shock, but he was not in the mood to think about it. The right thing to do now was to use up the chaotic energy in his seventh brain region.
"Do you believe them?" Hua Bai looked at the silhouettes left behind by the Protectors and sternly asked.
Hua Hei shook his head. "Of course not. Guarding the Cosmic Gate is their only way out, so these Protectors will definitely do their best to hide the truth. Recently, there have been many strange phenomena in the universe, and it's very unstable. The truth will surface one day, and when the time comes …"
Hua Bai shrugged and said no more. The two brothers fell silent.
Several hours later …
* Bang! *
After breaking through the seventh level of the Soul King, Xia Fei released all the remaining restless energy in his body! The air was instantly filled with white motes of light.
Soon, these motes of light were absorbed by Xia Fei once more, and they began to flow through his body once more. That restlessness and restlessness disappeared, or more accurately, Xia Fei had purified and suppressed it, returning it to calmness.
When there was too much restless energy, it was very difficult to control it, but there was not much energy left from Wu Yuming's body, so Xia Fei easily suppressed it and made it his own.
"Phew ~"
Xia Fei let out a long sigh and stood up.
"Congratulations. I didn't think that in just a few days, you'd already become a Soul King. If my guess is correct, this wave should be at the seventh level."
Hua Hei smiled.
"Correct. It's at the seventh level," Xia Fei softly said.
The Black and White Gods were both surprised and excited. To be able to advance in such a short time, Xia Fei's potential had long since shocked countless experts.
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei asked, "Were those people just now the Protectors?"
Hua Hei was just about to answer when Hua Bai suddenly gestured for Xia Fei to close his spatial ring, cutting off his connection with Ouro.
Xia Fei had no choice but to do as he was told. "I'm puzzled. You were even able to find out what's in my spatial ring. Is this the difference in levels?"
Hua Hei laughed, "It's not that exaggerated. Under normal circumstances, spatial rings are still very safe, but you're an exception. Because in order to communicate with the fellow in the ring, you established a secret communication line and connected it to your nervous system."
"In this way, you will have established a connection with the space ring. Furthermore, the fellow residing within the ring is extremely powerful, and has a life of its own. Therefore, a warrior with exceptional insight would be able to follow the various signs and discover your secrets. In the future, you only need to sever this connection when necessary." Xia Fei nodded, seemingly understanding something. It turned out that the reason why the old demon lord had been discovered time and time again was because of his communication circuit. However, Xia Fei was still very impressed by this kind of superb insight. With his current cultivation, he was unable to peer into the spatial ring of others.
Can you answer my question now? Xia Fei asked with a smile.
Old Sable solemnly answered, "That's right. Those people just now are the Guardians of the Cosmic Gate, a bunch of stubborn fellows. The goatee has two stars on his armor, indicating that he's a two-star Guardian, the squad leader of the trio. Meanwhile, the other two are ordinary warriors. Aside from them, there are others with three stars, four stars, and even five stars.
"What we encountered earlier was just a small squad of the Guardians, a very ordinary squad. But don't be careless because of the stars on their battle armors. The Guardians are composed entirely of elites of the two races, and that golden battle armor is the formidable Huo Star Golden Armor! Trust me, with your current cultivation, you'll never want to make an enemy out of the Guardians. "
Xia Fei pursed his lips. "I'm no fool. Why would I provoke those fellows for no reason? They're very powerful; I can tell just from their killing intent."
Hua Bai muttered to himself, "That might not be true. I heard that you like to stir up trouble." Xia Fei was speechless. This was indeed a problem. Even if Xia Fei did not go looking for trouble, trouble would come knocking on his door.
Today, for example, was supposed to be a battle between Xia Fei and Wu Yuming, but for some reason, the Black and White Gods showed up. The Black and White Gods were fated to meet Xia Fei, and they did not have any enmity toward him, so that was fine. However, even the legendary Guardians had unexpectedly shown up, which was purely a matter of luck. It seemed that as long as Xia Fei was around, trouble would come knocking just by smelling it.
"Hahahaha!"
Old Sable burst into laughter, patting Xia Fei on the shoulder. "No matter what you say, it's still a joyous occasion to see you here. I heard that you guys won the battle with Xiang Yue, and that's worth celebrating. The Demon Sealing Blade is as sharp as ever, and no one dares to underestimate it. Who's the unlucky fellow today?"
Xia Fei replied, "Today was just an extension of the battle. It's already at the end, and the nails are getting fewer and fewer." Hua Hei sighed. "I believe in your Heaven's Wings' ability to pull out the nails."
After a pause, Hua Hei saw the questioning look in Xia Fei's eyes. It was as if he was suspicious of his identity, so he smiled and said, "There are some things that we don't need to hide from you. Yes, we are indeed traitors, in the past, and in the future." Xia Fei was silent for a few moments before asking, "Is the Cosmic Gate really that important? Is it so important that all the factions are fighting over it? "
Hua Hei replied, "Important? Let's put it this way. Whether you or I exist isn't important, and even the survival of the Law Realm isn't important. If there's only one thing in the universe that's important, it's definitely the Cosmic Gate! " Xia Fei was stunned. He had never imagined that the Black and White Gods would view the gate as more important than their own lives!
"Just what does the Cosmic Gate represent? What's hidden behind it? "Xia Fei very seriously asked.
Hua Hei and Hua Bai glanced at each other and then chuckled.
"You want to know?"
Xia Fei firmly nodded.
"Then are you willing to leave Heaven's Wings and join our faction?" Hua Hei slyly asked.
Leave Heaven's Wings! Join the inexplicable rebels?! Xia Fei had never even considered such a thing. Even a fool knew that it was better to lean on a big tree. Xia Fei had finally found a solid backer, so how could he give it up so easily?
Besides, from the situation of the Black and White Gods, it was not hard to tell that the rebels were not the strongest faction in the Law Realm, or else they would not have been chased all over the place.
"You should know that it's impossible for me to leave Heaven's Wings," Xia Fei said with a shrug.
"Then don't blame us for not being able to tell you the details," Hua Bai followed up.
Xia Fei felt somewhat awkward. This was more like a trade. Joining the rebels in exchange for the secret of the Cosmic Gate was not a good deal in Xia Fei's eyes. He would rather explore and judge things on his own.
* Pa ~ *
Hua Hei lightly punched Xia Fei's chest and laughed. "It's actually just a joke. If that old fox of yours finds out that us brothers have abducted the future Divine Wings of the Skywing Race, he'll definitely come after us to kill us.
"Besides, the conflict of the Cosmic Gate isn't something you can participate in. Remember my words: Hiding won't make you stronger. The truly strong will always choose to face it head-on! The reason we joined the rebels is that we've had enough of being humiliated! " At this point, Hua Hei suddenly turned cold, his entire being very solemn. Hua Bai also lightly nodded, his eyes filled with determination!
"Even if we can't do it, we'll still die!" Hua Hei sternly said. "We brothers have lived for so long, and we've long since seen through everything in the Law Realm! Dying in battle is a blessing for us! That way, we'll at least have our dignity! "Xia Fei was stunned. He suddenly realized that behind Hua Hei's cheeky smile was a determination to die!
For some reason, Hua Hei had associated the Cosmic Gate with death as soon as he mentioned it. It was as if the Cosmic Gate and death had some sort of inexplicable connection.
'Could the Cosmic Gate also be the Gate of Death?!' Xia Fei was shocked.
Hua Hei's face was glowing as if the word 'death' had excited him.
"There's no need for you to be in a hurry to choose. First, think of a way to join the God Race. With your judgment, it's not hard for you to see the danger in the Law Realm. When the time comes, you can decide whether to stay with the two races, guard the Cosmic Gate, or join the rebels."
"However!" Hua Hei's eyes flashed, and his tone intensified. "You must first see the truth of the Law Realm!"
Xia Fei softly replied, "I don't necessarily have to choose a side. Perhaps I won't choose either side." Hua Hei and Hua Bai laughed at the same time, as if Xia Fei's words were very funny.
"If you don't choose either side, you'll become everyone's enemy!" Hua Hei laughed as he said this.
The unexpected encounter with the Black and White Gods and the Protector had not only failed to dispel Xia Fei's suspicions, but it had instead made the Cosmic Gate even more mysterious in Xia Fei's eyes.
Since the Black and White Gods were unwilling to divulge the secret of the Cosmic Gate and wanted Xia Fei to make his own judgment, Xia Fei decided to bid farewell to them. After all, these two were troublesome people. It was not easy for Xia Fei to have a moment of peace, and he did not want to be dragged into some unexpected dispute.
"There are three things you need to remember: Flowerless Fruit, the Ark, and the Martyr's Palace." As Hua Hei said this, Hua Bai pulled him from behind, his brows furrowed as if he did not want Hua Hei to continue speaking. However, Hua Hei ignored his brother's dissuasion and continued. "We've finally met by fate. Consider it my gift to you."
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback, but he secretly memorized these three names.
After leaving that planet filled with electromagnetic storms, Xia Fei reconnected with the old demon lord Oro.
"What did Hua Hei and Hua Bai say to you just now?" Oro curiously asked.
Xia Fei replied, "It was all a strange conversation. I asked them about the secret of the Cosmic Gate, but they refused to tell me, but before they left, they told me three names."
"What are they?"
"Flowerless Fruit, the Ark, and the Martyr's Palace," Xia Fei sternly said.
The old demon lord was silent for a long time before saying, "Flowerless Fruit should be referring to the top-class technology company, Flowerless Fruit Corporation. The Martyr's Palace is an altar set up by the God Race to commemorate those heroes who died in the Great War of the Gods and Demons. There's also the Ark?! "
