Capítulo 1076: Chapter 1095: Peerless in White
The Great Dao reaches the heavens, accompanied by loneliness. In Ye Xuan’s lifetime, he has neither kith nor kin nor friends, and those he truly acknowledges as friends are very few.
Whether it’s the chubby Huang or Gu Beichen, both have followed Ye Xuan for over three million years, and Ye Xuan treats them as brothers. Yet, there remains an insurmountable barrier between them, that barrier being the reverence they hold for him in their hearts.
Though they are brothers, they are still master and servant, but the word ‘friend’ does not truly apply.
The Primordial Heaven and Earth are vast beyond measure. Some wish to become friends with Ye Xuan, but they aren’t qualified, and the only one who is qualified is Luo Hou, yet he considers Ye Xuan the greatest rival of his lifetime.
Eternal solitude, looking back with neither kin nor friend!
If anyone over the past three million years could make Ye Xuan feel attached, Liu Baiyi is definitely one of them, for he is a friend Ye Xuan genuinely recognized.
Within the Chaos Absolute Heaven Array!
Drifting through eternity, amidst solitude and loneliness, Ye Xuan stands with hands clasped behind his back, a pale white figure coalescing in front of him. This figure is blurred and indistinct but exudes a familiar aura that brings a reminiscent smile to Ye Xuan’s face.
“A lament over eternity, Heaven and Earth so barren, Brother Baiyi, I have waited for this day for a long, long time.”
Ye Xuan hoarsely murmured, the small tree of time and space swaying at his brow, releasing strands of the power of space-time, sending Liu Baiyi’s newly gathered soul into the body Ye Xuan had forged.
Rumble!
The Chaos Absolute Heaven Array dissipates, the Celestial Star Battle dim, with only Ye Xuan accompanying Liu Baiyi at his side, quietly awaiting his awakening.
The myriad laws are silent, Heaven and Earth tranquil.
Ye Xuan finally understood the meaning of days passing like years. He waited for three whole days, yet it seemed as if three million years had passed.
When time reached the third entire day, Liu Baiyi’s body finally underwent a slight change.
“Uh!”
Liu Baiyi’s eyelids twitched slightly, his five fingers clenched gently, as if murmuring from a dream came from his mouth, and finally, his eyes slowly opened at this moment.
“Where… where am I?”
Liu Baiyi opened his eyes in confusion, Ye Xuan’s appearance came into view, yet he seemed not to regain full consciousness immediately, with only bewildered and confused looks in his eyes.
“Brother Baiyi, do you still recognize me?” Ye Xuan did his best to control his excited emotions and asked.
“You… you are?”
Liu Baiyi looked confusedly at Ye Xuan, his bewildered eyes gradually awakening, and his wooden expression undergoing a dramatic change.
“Brother Ye?”
“You are Brother Ye?”
Suddenly, it’s as if Liu Baiyi recalled those distant memories, staring blankly at Ye Xuan in front of him.
“You… you are Brother Ye… I… who am I?”
Liu Baiyi’s face appeared slightly pained. He remembered Ye Xuan but couldn’t recall who he himself was.
“You are Liu Baiyi, you are that unparalleled genius of the Human World, Liu Baiyi. You have a friend named Ye Xuan, and you also have a disciple named Xue Ji.”
Ye Xuan looked at Liu Baiyi with a slight heartache, not expecting that after over three million years, Liu Baiyi could remember him but had forgotten his own name.
“Liu Baiyi? I am Liu Baiyi?” Liu Baiyi mumbled softly, as if searching for that distant memory in his mind.
“Yes, you are Liu Baiyi, you are the Liu Baiyi who created the Reverse Immortal Array Map for me.” Ye Xuan shouted excitedly, terribly afraid that Liu Baiyi had truly forgotten who he was.
“Reverse Immortal Array Map? Reverse Immortal Array Map?”
Liu Baiyi’s face suddenly turned red, murmuring with a complex expression: “I remember now, I am Liu Baiyi. I spent four hundred years creating the Reverse Immortal Array Map to help Brother Ye fight in the Earth Immortal Realm, but on that day I died, truly my soul scattered between Heaven and Earth.”
“But… but why am I still alive?”
Liu Baiyi stretched out his hands in confusion, completely unable to comprehend what he had been through.
“Brother Ye? Brother Ye?”
Suddenly, Liu Baiyi’s bewildered look faded away. He gazed at Ye Xuan with a foolish smile on his face.
“Brother Ye, whether this is a dream or the Netherworld, Liu Baiyi truly misses you!”
Liu Baiyi took large steps forward and hugged Ye Xuan tightly. Although he was a man of seven feet, tears appeared in his eyes – tears of friendship and full of longing.
“Brother Baiyi, this is not a dream, nor is it the Netherworld. This is the Primordial World, and it’s been over three million years since you and I first met.” Ye Xuan spoke hoarsely, with an extremely complex mood.
“Over three million years?”
Liu Baiyi stood there speechless, leaving Ye Xuan’s side to inspect Ye Xuan’s appearance, indeed discovering some unusual things.
Liu Baiyi vaguely remembered when he and Ye Xuan parted, Ye Xuan was in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but he still had a touch of youthfulness.
But now, he could not discern Ye Xuan’s cultivation level, and Ye Xuan’s hair was already as silver-white as snow, his eyes full of vicissitude and solitude, as if encompassing the entire universe, containing the ultimate truth of all things.
Aura, that transcendental aura beyond all things, Liu Baiyi could entirely feel it emanating from Ye Xuan. Such an aura could never appear on Ye Xuan without the precipitation of time.
“Time flies, three million years, Brother Baiyi, I did not let you down. Across Heaven and Earth, only I stand supreme.” Ye Xuan said hoarsely.
“Paid respects to Mister Liu Baiyi.”
Suddenly, the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven was in turmoil, the group of immortals and demon kings all bowed to Liu Baiyi, and those exalted Quasi-Saints were no exception.
The group of immortals bowed down, demon kings bowed lowly, and even Quasi-Saints showed awe. This was the scene Liu Baiyi witnessed.
“Are they… immortals?”
Liu Baiyi was merely a mortal. Even upon his death, he had never seen an immortal, considering them the supreme beings.
But now, he watched the group of immortals and demon kings bow down to him, the powerful aura of immortals and demons permeating everywhere, filling him with shock, making him certain that these were beings akin to immortals.
Liu Baiyi was speechless, gradually calming down from his initial shock, his eyes returning to a serene warmth, yet there was a touch of emotion in his gaze toward Ye Xuan.
Liu Baiyi didn’t need to understand where he was, nor did he need to know if these people were immortals because he was very clear about one thing: the Ye Xuan in front of him was his closest friend, and that was enough.
A figure in white, an unparalleled presence, a warm and gentle smile finally flourished once more on Liu Baiyi’s face. He was still that Liu Baiyi of the past, a mortal yet possessing age-old brilliance.
“Brother Baiyi, come with me.”
Ye Xuan spoke with a smile, and together, they stepped into the Heavenly Venerate Palace, while all the immortals and demon kings looked at each other, each with a trace of shock in their eyes.
