"Me?" Wang Yiyi's father smiled.
"Take a guess."
There was a strange expression on Wang Baole's face. He hadn't expected that Father Wang, who always gave off a stern vibe, would have such a side to him. Hence, he hesitated for a moment, then spoke in an uncertain tone.
"Flip the table?"
When she heard Wang Baole's words, Wang Yiyi glared at Wang Baole. As for her father, he laughed loudly. It seemed that his daughter's recovery had made him more lively than before. At that moment, as he laughed, he turned around and no longer looked at the two juniors behind him. However, his words reached Wang Baole and Wang Yiyi's ears.
"If you can't bring Yiyi back to life, and if flipping the table can do it, then … I will naturally flip the table. I will kill anyone who stands in my way, no matter who they are!
"Even if the Emperor is at his peak, if he stands in my way, I might not have fought him before, but … how can I be sure that I can't kill him?
"My Dao … only lies in love."
Wang Baole was silent. He looked deeply at the back of the man in front of him. His father's answer made him fall into deep thought. At that moment, waves of emotions rose in his heart. He wondered … what he would do if he was in his place.
"I would kill anyone who stands in my way." Wang Baole murmured in his heart. A bright light shone in his eyes. To a certain extent, his choice was similar to Father Wang's. He didn't care about the table, nor did he care about who it belonged to.
What he cared about was being unfettered and free.
Clearly, the current Emperor's way of existence had become an obstacle that blocked his path. No matter what, he and the Emperor were ultimately on opposing sides.
Even if Wang Baole could give up, once the Emperor woke up, he would definitely suppress him, because Wang Baole's true form … had become the root of his Dao.
From the moment the Emperor wanted to become the Great Cosmos, when the Essence of Wood nailed into his forehead and turned into the Blackwood Tribulation, karma had already existed between the two of them.
The passage of countless years hadn't washed away that karma. Instead … it had grown stronger. Because … even though time had passed, the battle between them had never stopped.
Regardless of whether it was the confrontation between the Imperial Emperor's true body and the formation of a hundred thousand divine senses, it was all the same.
"If I don't kill an Imperial Emperor, I won't be free." Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and slowly retracted the sharpness in his eyes. In the end, he completely closed his eyes.
Off to the side, Wang Yiyi still didn't understand what was being said between her father and Wang Baole. She could tell that she understood every single word that was being said, but when the words were put together, they were incomparably profound. She was completely at a loss as to what was being said.
This was not the first time she felt this way. In truth, in her memories, she had felt this way too many times when she was with her parents. However, in the past, there was no one by her side, so there was no comparison. This made her feel less strongly, and she even thought that it was her parents who were talking about profound mysteries. If it was anyone else, they would not understand either.
But now … things were a little different.
Proud as she was, she couldn't stand it. She noticed that Wang Baole had closed his eyes, so she simply put on an expression of enlightenment and closed her eyes as well.
However, Wang Baole was lost in thought. He was digesting the Dao contained in Father Wang's words, and was determined to walk his own path. As for Wang Yiyi … she had her eyes closed, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking ….
All of this fell into Father Wang's perception. He sighed inwardly, and a doting, helpless expression appeared on his face.
It was in this fashion that countless illusory images flickered around the ship. The movement of the universe had reached a point where it was almost impossible to detect. It was impossible to say how much time passed. It seemed like a breath, but also like an entire century.
Countless small universes and starry skies passed by in the great universe. Finally … the movement of the universe slowed down. When it returned to normal, Wang Baole heard Father Wang's voice in his ears.
"We're here."
When he heard the voice, Wang Baole opened his eyes and looked up into the starry sky. Despite the level of his cultivation base and the level of his mental fortitude, he was still shaken by what he saw. His eyes went wide.
Not all of the things that existed in the starry sky were planets.
From the reflections in his eyes, it was possible to clearly see … that in front of Wang Baole was an indescribably vast land mass.
It was so large that even the Stone Stele Realm was only a ten-thousandth the size of it. Furthermore, it wasn't stationary; it was moving through the starry sky at high speed, causing its edges to appear hazy and dreamy.
Not only that, but there were also countless planets of various sizes around it. There were many of them, and they were all revolving around the continent. Clearly, they were the planets that the continent had captured as it moved through the universe over the course of countless years.
At the same time, an indescribably boundless life force emanated out from the land mass. It was like a mountain fire in the middle of the night, dyeing the night sky red and illuminating the universe.
Wang Baole's mind buzzed as he swept his gaze across the area. The impact formed by the extremely rich life force and the information it brought with it.
If that were all there were to it, it might not be a big deal. However, what shocked Wang Baole the most was that there were nine unique planets floating above the land mass. They looked like suns, but at the same time, surpassed them. They suppressed the other planets and enveloped the land mass.
Wang Baole got the feeling that each and every one of them was on the same level as his own. In fact, there were even two that gave him a sense of crisis.
At the center of the nine suns was a gigantic statue that stood tall on the ground. It was so tall that it shook the heavens and the earth. That statue was … Father Wang!
What shocked Wang Baole the most was … what shocked Wang Baole the most was … in front of the enormous statue were … eleven enormous bridges!
Each bridge was bigger than the last and taller than the last.
They were rooted in the void and existed in reality. From a distance, they looked like stairs that led up layer by layer. It was a vast and shocking sight.
These eleven bridges gave off an ancient and desolate aura as if they existed with the world and the universe. The passage of time didn't leave behind any signs of decay. Even when starlight shined on them, it didn't leave a single trace on them.
They had a name that resounded across the entire universe.
They had a name that spread across the universe.
"This is the Heaven Trampling Bridge.
"It collapsed a long time ago and was repaired by me. From nine bridges, it became eleven bridges. Crossing nine bridges is the Heaven Trampling Bridge.
"From now on, every additional bridge means one more step in cultivation!" Father Wang's voice seemed to contain natural law as it echoed out in all directions. The eleven bridges began to glow with resplendent light, as if they were welcoming his return.
As the Heaven Trampling Bridge shined brightly and Wang Baole's mind rumbled, Wang Yiyi softly spoke.
"Little fatty, welcome to … my hometown, the Immortal Astral Continent."
