The victory on the Subcontinent Continent had given the players from the other continents a boost in morale. The seven Kingdoms were like the Sword of Kristam hanging over many people's heads. They were strange, powerful, and intimidating.
From the moment they sent a batch of seeds of hope to the small world, the players who stayed behind in the seven continents were prepared to die. Although they had Li Xiang's mechanized seven continents, the training academy, and the Evil King's Royal Court and other superpowers to form a united front, their pessimistic mood was not completely alleviated.
Everyone was depressed.
From the ordinary people to the players at the ninth level, everyone was treating that day as their last day.
Since the beginning of the war, countless people had died on the battlefield. Even the ordinary people had become numb to death. Day after day, they worked like machines, waiting for the moment when the blade would fall on their necks.
But things were different at the moment.
We can win. We can win. That belief was shared in the army. Even though Bai Shili, one of the most powerful warriors, had died, the fall of the Burning Sky Kingdom had encouraged the remaining people.
The flames of war were reignited.
Someone had to clean up the mess on the Subcontinent Continent. He didn't know if the Burning Sky Kingdom had really fallen. The only thing Li Xiang was sure of was that Taihao had perished in the river of time.
After much consideration, he decided to entrust that task to Bai Dongxue.
The older level-9 players of the Subcontinent District were still the main force. Soon, they would have to go to other continents. They didn't want to stay behind and watch their comrades kill each other. For them, life was nothing more than a string of numbers.
They had lived for far too long and had long since accepted death. If they could make a certain contribution to the future like Bai Shili, then they would be satisfied.
After the catastrophe, the ones who could survive would be the real powerful ones. The ninth-level warriors like the Azure King couldn't have survived. The circle of ninth-level warriors had shrunk, but the ones who survived were the cream of the crop.
They were willing to sacrifice everything, just like the Holy War three hundred years ago. They wanted to leave opportunities for the future generations.
Among the young and middle-aged people, there were very few who had prestige, strength, and temperament. Bai Dongxue, whom Bai Shili had named as the next Bai King, was the best choice.
Subcontinent District 1, City 0001, the Bai family's territory.
The broken buildings were being repaired. Everyone had their own tasks and responsibilities, and they were extremely busy.
However, there was no battle here for the time being, so a small celebration would be allowed at night.
At the top of the newly completed Central Building.
Li Xiang and Bai Dongxue stood side by side, gazing into the distance. That was the main battlefield from a few days ago. The two of them had witnessed the silent end of a legend.
To this day, Bai Dongxue still found it hard to imagine that her idol would leave in such a gloomy manner.
"He, he has always been unbeatable in my heart. In that battle, True Immortal Tai Hao was too strong. He was so strong that my willpower was almost shattered." Bai Dongxue smiled bitterly. She had to admit this fact.
Along the way, he had constantly chased after Bai Shili's footsteps. He had also successfully broken some of the small records left behind by Bai Shili many times.
In the first half of his life, he had been the most dazzling descendant of the Bai family. Even though Ye Tong had returned with the Book of Prophecy, not many people believed that she could truly replace Bai Dongxue as the number one descendant.
This included Bai Ling, Bai Lihu, and Baimiya who were chasing after him.
To this generation, Bai Dongxue was another Bai Shili — before Li Xiang and Ming Xu appeared.
Even so, a few years ago, as players, Bai Dongxue was still able to keep pace with Li Xiang and Ming Xu. It was not until Ming Xu fell into a deep slumber and Li Xiang transformed that he realized that he could not catch up to this man.
Bitterness, helplessness, and all of his confidence collapsed. It was not easy for him to adjust, and he had a new goal. However, he saw his idol die in battle, and his opponent was an existence that he could never surpass in his entire life.
This feeling was too despairing.
"At that time, my first thought was, what should I do? If even he could not defeat him, there was no way I could surpass him! " Bai Dongxue continued, "I could not take over the position that he gave me, so I placed all my hopes on you."
"Taihao has lived much longer than us. It's normal for him to be so strong. Don't be discouraged. I also relied on that potion to complete my ascension. I was lucky enough to defeat him." Li Xiang continued in a sincere tone. This was the truth. Now that he had broken through and reached the pinnacle of Level-10, it was all thanks to Bai Ye's potion.
Even so, he did not think that he would have much of an advantage in the bitter battles in the future.
Bai Shili was mentally tired, but so was Taihao. Perhaps after the trace of obsession in his heart disappeared, he had completely given up resisting.
"He walked the path of using the body as the seed. In the future, he needs you to carry forward his legacy. No one in the Bai family is more familiar with his legacy than you. I think this is one of the reasons why he chose you." Li Xiang patted his shoulder. "Come out as soon as possible. You are the new White King. The family needs you to support it. If you are lost at this time, what about them?"
He pointed at the members of the Bai family who were working hard. Once upon a time, Li Xiang did not like this family at all. If he had been a member of this family in both his previous and current lives, he would have hated them.
They had abandoned him and Ye Tong, which led to such a miserable ending in his previous life. Now that he finally had a new life, they had ruined his dreams at the very beginning.
However, Bai Shili's death had shown Li Xiang a different side of the Bai family.
The family that Bai Shili had worked so hard to build up was indeed different.
After all, Li Xiang had only seen a small part of the family. Apart from some people that he hated, most of the members of the family were people he cared about, such as Bai Dongxue, Bai Ling, and Baimiya.
He would not allow the Bai family to decline.
Bai Dongxue nodded. Since he had promised Li Xiang that he would take over the reconstruction of the Subcontinent, he would do his best.
"Right, Linlin and I have decided to get married at the end of the month without alerting anyone. We will invite some of our close friends to be our witnesses." Bai Dongxue smiled brightly.
This was the best thing that could have happened to him so far.
Li Xiang was happy as well. Wei Linlin's love for him was nothing more than an illusion. Compared to Bai Dongxue, Wei Linlin was not a good match for him.
It was a happy thing that they could be together in the end.
"I will be there. True love comes from war. I am so envious of you." Li Xiang wished them well from the bottom of his heart. "Congratulations."
He thought of Ming Xu, the girl he loved deeply. Had she woken up?
"You should consider their feelings. I heard that you're willing to give Fei Yujing a status. What about Mi Cha?" Bai Dongxue gently nudged him. This brat had a huge debt of love, and it was worrying.
Li Xiang produced a forced smile. He didn't answer, but he already knew the answer.
