This was a soul-piercing question.
Ye Zichen tilted his head and snuck a glance at Bai Yu, who'd already immersed himself in cultivation.
"That girl is absolutely beautiful."
"She's the most beautiful person I've ever seen."
"Don't you men all like pretty girls?"
Su Liu 'er sent him another transmission. Ye Zichen knitted his brows and took a deep breath.
When it came to looks …. Bai Yu was naturally flawless.
Even Su Liu 'er had to admit that, even in the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, she was the most beautiful.
But as for liking her …. Ye Zichen asked himself.
He really didn't.
"No."
After a long silence, Ye Zichen mulled it over for a long time. "My feelings for Bai Yu are pure friendship. As for everything else …. You might not believe me, but I don't have the energy to flirt."
Ever since he'd entered the cosmos …. Ye Zichen's nerves had been stretched taut. All he could think about was increasing his strength and ensuring the safety of the Milky Way Galaxy. He had no time for romance.
That was too extravagant! If he had the time, he'd rather go to the second universe and hunt some vicious beasts to earn some money and equip the Milky Way Galaxy.
"Then Bai Yu will be the one to get hurt."
"Things will eventually sort themselves out. Once we return from the Ancestral Dragon Clan, the Fire God might not insist on it anymore."
Ye Zichen smiled in relief.
"How unlikely."
Su Liu 'er dampened his spirits.
"Big Sister Liu 'er, can't you at least keep me awake? You're really giving me a lot of pressure."
"I just don't like dreaming."
"Fine."
Ye Zichen shrugged helplessly and sat on the ground, looking out at the vast cosmos.
How unlikely.
Had the Fire God's identity as a supreme expert really been accidentally revealed?
Obviously not.
If he really didn't want others to know, he could've intercepted that person's words so that no one else in the alleyway would hear.
Since others could hear …. That meant he wanted them to know.
What was his reason for doing this?
He wanted the Heavenly Lion Overlord to inform Star Lord Cangyue, or perhaps all the other supreme experts. He wanted them to know that the Bai Clan had a supreme expert as well, so he could protect himself.
That's right …. Ye Zichen believed this was a way to protect himself.
The reason why he was so convinced was that the Lord Fire God had said something seemingly unintentional.
In the future, the Bai family would not participate in the internal struggles of the human race.
The Bai Clan would guard the Outer Realms.
The Bai family was a distinguished family of the universe.
The tilt of this family would have great implications, and it was very likely that it would shake some kind of balance scale.
Right now … on the surface, it looked like a confrontation between the Virtual World Corporation and the Archmoon Galaxy.
Actually, don't forget that there was still the Paragon Association.
It was still uncertain whether the future Human Race Universe would form a tripartite balance.
If the Bai family announced that they would join a certain side.
Do you think the other two parties are afraid?
No! No matter how powerful the Bai family was, it was still just a family.
In the eyes of the Cangyue Galaxy, the Virtual World Group, and the Supremes Association, it was just a chess piece that was heavier than the others.
The heavy chess piece naturally received a lot of attention.
No matter who he joined, he would be attacked by the other two parties.
They had to get rid of this chess piece that could shake the chessboard.
Crush him to death! If they stayed in the human race, they would be exterminated because no one was willing to leave behind such a potential threat.
If they joined any side, they would be exterminated! Because if they were to really make a move against them, it would be a fight between two families.
If the Bai family joined the Virtual World Group …
Then the Cangyue Galaxy could join forces with the Supremes Association. One side would suppress the Virtual World Group, and the other side would attack the Bai family.
The Bai family wouldn't be able to stop them.
It could be said that it would be safer for him to join the Supremes Association.
Because no matter what … the Supremes Association was still the highest authority of the human race.
If the Bai family joined, anyone who attacked him would have no reason to do so.
However, the Supremes Association's strength was too weak compared to the Cangyue Galaxy and the Virtual World Group.
The Supremes Association would eventually be destroyed.
The Bai family would also be exterminated! The only way to protect himself was to head to the outer region and guard the outer region.
No matter what happened internally! The Bai family would act as if they were guarding the gate. No one would kill the guards during an internal conflict.
And to prevent such a thing from happening, the Fire God specially mentioned that he had broken through to the Supremes.
This was a warning to everyone … that the Bai family was guarding the outer region. Don't provoke me. The Bai family didn't want to care about the grudges between you, but if you want to touch my family, I won't let you off easily.
That was the Fire God's message.
Furthermore, the Fire God mentioned that he wouldn't ally with Ye Zichen for the same reason.
In the future, the universes would merge.
When the universes merged, the human race of the second universe would join in as well. The human race's internal situation would become even more chaotic.
As for why he said he couldn't ally with the Milky Way …
Because the Virtual World Group was an ally. That was something the entire universe knew.
If he allied with the Milky Way, that would mean he'd joined the Virtual World Group.
That was why he couldn't do that.
The Bai family! They didn't need to ally with anyone. Just having an ally would raise suspicions. All they had to do was guard the outer region.
But judging from the Fire God's decision … he'd rather face the Outsiders than the internal strife of the human race. It was easy to imagine that in his eyes … the future internal strife of the human race would be even more terrifying than the Outsiders.
If he wasn't truly at his wit's end …
How could he possibly announce that his entire family was going to guard the outer region?
The outer region …. Once upon a time, only the exiled clans of the human race would go there.
By standing guard there, they could make up for their mistakes.
Only then could they return to the human race.
But even after all this time, not a single family had returned alive from defending the outer region.
Even so, he'd still chosen to go to the outer region.
Perhaps the Fire God was thinking the same thing. He'd rely on his supreme strength to guard the battlefield, and his family would be safe under his protection.
Once the human race's internal strife was over …. Then, he could bring his people back.
At that time, he'd return in triumph. The victorious side wouldn't attack the heroic family guarding the outer region.
He believed that in the human universe, the leaders of quite a few clans had considered this.
However, only the Bai family had truly made this decision. That was because the Fire God was a supreme expert. He had the confidence.
As for the other clans …. No matter how large they were, he had to make a choice. This was a game of foresight.
Who won and who lost? Winner takes all! Everyone knew that participating in the war meant certain death, but they had to give hope. Who knew …. Maybe they'd survive in the end?
Even if the chances were slim! The ones who suffered the most were the smaller clans. They didn't even have the right to choose.
This was the current state of the human race! The Bai family's Fire God had done everything.
Everything …. For the sake of the clan!
