Those who confront their true selves, facing their past mistakes and regrets, experience an unavoidable torment with each act of self-reflection and analysis…

Bai Wujie looked at the young man in front of him who seemed exactly like him, but had short black hair and wore the same long overcoat as their eldest brother, and said softly...

"Qian Shuang, it's been a long time."

"Brother...it's been a long time." Bai Qianshuang's expression was very complicated as she spoke softly...

"Looks like you're doing well..."

"Perhaps it was my destiny to not die," Bai Wujie said with a light laugh.

On that day, when Bai Wujie personally killed his father and brothers and ascended to the position of Sea Tiger Martial God, he also turned his back on his former friends and went against his only relative, truly becoming a pariah.

Haiyue, who once loved him but whom he only regarded as a younger sister, left him. Her younger brother, Qianshuang, also left him after being defeated and spared by him in a reckless challenge.

That was not a time to be happy.

For Bai Wujie, who had obtained the title of Sea Tiger Martial God, a full ten years was not a happy one.

Even though he had been carrying out the plans he had set before becoming the Sea Tiger Martial God... in essence, they were all actions by Bai Wujie to divert his thoughts.

During those ten years, Bai Wujie's strength did not improve at all.

He had already mastered most of the Heavenly Martial Killing Path, and having successfully mastered the Path of Severing Father and the Path of Severing Brother, he could have broken through the 500,000-horse limit, but... he had not been able to accumulate any more power.

In fact, in order to eliminate the increasingly ferocious Great White Shark within him, he spent a great deal of time dismantling his Heavenly Martial Killing Path, which even caused his strength to decline significantly.

He believed that the Heavenly Martial Killing Path was not a suitable path for him, and Bai Wujie knew that he could not truly and completely sever ties with emotions.

Since this was a path destined to lead nowhere, he naturally wanted to end it while there was still time to salvage it.

The longer you run down the wrong path, the further you will stray from the right one.

It was around that time that his younger brother, Bai Qianshuang, who had endured countless hardships and trials...

He led the Bai family members who had been driven out of Haihu Second City because of Bai Wujie's purge and massacre, along with his friends and those he had offended in Bai Wujie's actions, to challenge Bai Wujie.

Bai Wujie died at the hands of his own younger brother.

He died silently and ignominiously. He had so many grand ambitions, and all his plans were about to begin, yet they ended prematurely, all his efforts thwarted.

It's such a simple story, which is why this 241st generation Sea Tiger Martial God is not famous at all, not as famous as Bai Qiankun, and not even as famous as Bai Batian ten generations later. Because his story ended at the very beginning before it even had a chance to begin.

But life is unpredictable, and he may well be living a life that can be described as unsuccessful.

Unexpectedly, after his death, he was given the opportunity to reach a higher path and a brand new future.

Bai Wujie sat down cross-legged, facing his younger brother. Against the backdrop of Tiamat's weeping voice not far away, he began to speak…

“You will always appear in my spiritual world, just like my elder brother and father. But unlike them, you can’t become my war god, but you won’t just disappear like that either.”

"Because you understand me very well, just as I understand you," Bai Qianshuang said softly with a gentle smile.

"But I am just your split personality. I am you, I am your mirror. My problems are also your problems."

"Brother, have you ever regretted your past actions? If you had the chance, would you have told Father to give up the fight for the throne? And would... you have gotten a better outcome?"

Is this kind of discussion meaningful?

Bai Wujie countered with a question, but looking into Bai Qianshuang's eyes, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, then looked at Tiamat, who had been beaten and was hiding in the black mud, and said with melancholy...

“I told that bastard not to be so sentimental, but he himself became all fussy… Brother, your problem is my problem too. I’ve really thought about this in my heart.”

"If I hadn't killed my father that day, would I have had a brighter future? Would our family have ended up in such a state?"

"If I hadn't been so strong-willed, if I had taken a step back that day..."

Bai Wujie clenched his fist, and a pendant appeared in his empty hand. He gently opened the pendant, and inside was a photograph of his mother…

He answered quietly.

"When I start to think about these kinds of questions, haven't I already started to regret it? It seems that even at this point, I still haven't fully faced my true self."

He slowly stood up, remained silent for a very long time, and pondered for a very long time.

Finally, facing his younger brother, he took a deep breath and answered loudly…

"Bai Qianshuang, then let me tell you, if I were given another chance, I would still fight without hesitation for the throne of the Sea Tiger Martial God!!"

He clenched his fist tightly, and the cloak behind him seemed to be whipped and danced wildly by an invisible gust of wind...

And this black and white black hole armor instantly created a chaotic void in the entire Imaginary Sea!

"If my father tries to stop me, then I'll fight him! If he wants to fight my elder brother, then fucking fight him! What's mine won't be taken away like this! Either defeat me and take what's mine, or fight me fairly for what I deserve!"

Almost like a roar, he answered the question that had been nagging at him! In his blue and silver pupils, there was absolute ferocity, and absolute sincerity!

Even if he could do it all over again, he might be able to change the tragedy. He would achieve something, as would his elder brother and father. He wouldn't have to fight his younger brother, and he wouldn't be abandoned by everyone.

No, absolutely not.

He will still pursue what he deserves, will still kill his father, and will still become the same person he is today!

This is his true intention! It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Martial Killing Path! Even if the Heavenly Martial Killing Path didn't exist that day, Bai Wujie would still eventually kill his biased father who was his enemy and wanted to kill him!

Because it's what he deserves, because it's what he's entitled to! So he'll take it, rob it, seize it, fucking steal it!

Because this is Bai Wujie's way of doing things, this is his true nature—what belongs to me, I may not use, but I will never allow others to take it away!!

He had always blamed his alienation from everyone on the Heavenly Martial Killing Path...

Subconsciously, he believed that it was the Heavenly Martial Killing Path that led him down this path of betrayal and isolation!

Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he would think about this possibility—if there were no Heavenly Martial Killing Path, what would his fate have been if he had taken a step back?

These doubts and questions are merely excuses—he shifted all of this to the issue of the Heavenly Martial Killing Path, but if he truly asked himself—

He will still go back to his original path!

The choice he made was his own!

It wasn't because of any external factors, nor because of the influence of the Heavenly Martial Killing Path; it was simply the result of his self-expression and the decision he made!

And after clearly recognizing this, and finally fully recognizing oneself—

Bai Wujie could then tell Qian Shuang and everyone else without hesitation!

"I have no regrets!!"

"Really? That's your answer, brother..."

Having received Bai Wujie's reply, Qian Shuang slowly stood up. Upon closer inspection, this young man, who resembled Bai Wujie, possessed a relaxed and easygoing demeanor that Bai Wujie lacked.

"In that case, brother, you should continue on your path! This is your way, and I will help you as always."

The pale color was instantly replaced by its original hue, like a gray chess piece being painted with oil paint. Bai Qianshuang has returned.

Reconciling with his brothers was also an answer to his own conscience. Once again confronting the profound self within his soul, Bai Wujie felt his primordial spirit become even more clear-headed in that instant.

Both power and spiritual境界 (realm/state of being) were liberated through this direct confrontation with one's true self.

Things that were not clear before suddenly became clear and understandable.

"Hehehehehaha!"

This exhilarating feeling of liberation from constraints caused Bai Wujie to burst into uncontrollable laughter, and it was this unrestrained soul and self that... allowed him to gradually replace Tiamat and seize control of this imaginary world!

Meanwhile, Tiamat, who had been beaten to her knees by the God of War released by Bai Wujie, looked at everything in bewilderment, at this void prison that had imprisoned her for tens of thousands of years...

“ALLLLLLLL——”

In those voices, there was a sense of helplessness and fear—because even though this was the prison she loathed to the extreme, it was also Tiamat's only refuge.

And now, she can't even keep her last place to stay.

Sadness, helplessness, despair—the enormous Tiamat sensed these vibrant emotions of life, and so she responded.

She crawled out of the black mud, hugged her arms, and buried her head in those long legs, clearly indicating that she had given up resisting and was ready to do whatever she wanted.

Perhaps realizing that she could not defeat Bai Wujie, or even regain control of this imaginary world, the great Mother of Creation chose to give up.

Bai Wujie's treatment was indeed effective. After being beaten to the brink of death by the God of War but not dying... and realizing the tragic ending of everything returning to nothingness before it was all finished, Tiamat emerged from the grief of being betrayed by her child.

However, although she no longer had that annoying habit of getting emotional all the time, Tiamat went to another emotional extreme when faced with an opponent she couldn't defeat.

Meanwhile, Bai Wujie, who had received this unexpected surprise...

It seems they have no intention of taking away this poor, beautiful young woman's last refuge.

He approached Tiamat and gently lifted her chin. Amidst Tiamat's confused and timid gaze, Bai Wujie calmly asked…

"Do you want freedom? To go back to your world?"

"ALLLLLLL?"

"Of course you can refuse, because I'm not a good person at all. And you should already understand what I'm going to do."

Bai Wujie smiled gently. He was in a very good mood. This pleasant surprise was that even the White Emperor was being tolerant.

So he showed Tiamat what he was going to do.

Shatter planets, kill Gaia, and use each Earth and each world to strengthen his world!

And all life above that level, whether human or insect… whether noble or lowly, faces only one fate—

die! !

"ALLLLLL!!!"

Tiamat finally realized what the intruder Bai Wujie was planning to do, and she was truly enraged. She roared and howled as her massive dragon body revived from the dark swamp, pressing down on Bai Wujie with unparalleled momentum and an aura several times stronger than before!

This is probably a mother's instinct and bottom line.

Tiamat would never stand idly by if her children's lives were threatened, even if they were a bunch of rebellious kids!

A mother's instinct is strong, and this is so evident in Tiamat!

Intense emotions fueled a powerful will, and the entire imaginary space roared as Tiamat began her attempt to reclaim her world!

But did she manage to win it back?

Mental strength is not reflected in physical strength. If it were outside, Bai Wujie would not need even a tenth of his power to easily kill Tiamat.

In the realm of the spirit, however, all clashes are a different matter.

If it were the previous Bai Wujie, who had not further confronted his true self, he could suppress Tiamat but would find it difficult to kill or expel him.

But now, having confronted his true self and ego more directly, and responded to the powerful Bai Wujie with the purest emotions and will, how could he possibly give Tiamat a chance to retaliate?

No, that's absolutely impossible!!

The colossal dragon body attempted to crush the minuscule White Boundless Realm, but the instant Tiamat landed, her body was suddenly lifted up. And it was a hand, a gigantic hand that had lifted the Mother of Creation!

Five fingers stood tall like pillars, the lines on the palm like deep ravines. Tiamat turned around, and what she saw were eyes as bright as the sun, and a colossal god so enormous that she looked as tiny as a louse!

With his overwhelming mental strength, Bai Wujie took over and completely seized control of this imaginary world!

Unlike Tiamat, he wouldn't have such a poor grasp of the world!

"Insignificant, even in terms of the soul, you are far too insignificant."

Bai Wujie spoke softly, but his words exploded in Tiamat's ears like a terrifying thunderclap.

She roared hoarsely, and the awe-inspiring power of the Creator Mother, which was terrifying to mortals... seemed to Bai Wujie like a rabid little dog.

His palms gently closed, and when he opened them again, all that remained in his palms was Tiamat, who had shed her dragon form and retained only the form of the Daughter of Destiny, on the verge of death.

This means that in the battle of spirit and soul, Bai Wujie has gained an absolute advantage... and even devouring Tiamat is just a matter of a word!

But he did not do so.

He teased the dying toy, chuckling softly in a low voice...

"You're a beautiful and rare pet, an interesting random life-generating machine; it would be a shame to kill you. How about this, I'll give you a chance, a chance to save your child? But the condition is..."

"Mother, you wouldn't want your child to go to heaven with that planet that abandoned you, would you?"

65. Biological weapons

"The Tower of Domination is 72% damaged and requires immediate magical restoration!!"

"Control of Tababatos is damaged!"

"The temple's barrier has collapsed. Requesting the Central Command to mobilize magic power for restoration!!"

At that endlessly shining great halo, inside the Time Crown Temple floating in the void... countless noisy clamors arose as the light cannons bombarded the entire temple.
