鈥淲here is the new miracle?鈥
Bailuo had never actively sought out miracles, this was the first time, in the absence of any response from the Book of Yagen, that he flew aimlessly everywhere.
It was also the first time that Bailuo felt how difficult it was to search for miracles.
For an entire half day, Bailuo rode Sherri, shuttling over the sea.
The relationship between the Iron Eagle Kingdom of Miracle Mainland and Bailuo was not harmonious, so he did not go there.
...
Even now that the Iron Eagle Kingdom was no match for Bailuo.
Bailuo first showed hostility towards the Iron Eagle, if he were to go alone, the Seven Kings of the Iron Eagle might not make a move against Bailuo, but they would definitely be on high alert.
Even if a miracle were truly discovered, it would not be too easy for Bailuo to find it and then bring it back safely.
Brilliant and Azure both had vast territories of miracles, where no miracles would fall.
Fortunately, the three dukes and four nobles had not turned all of the land into miracle territories, which meant Bailuo had a chance to find leaks on their turf.
Most Masters of Miracles did similar things.
The King of Aolai had the ability to turn the entire Aolai Country into the Land of Wonders, but he chose not to do so.
潡堭潣凁潣潡?co
In fact, the kings were all very self-aware, and everyone chose to restrain themselves and limit the expansion of their territories.
Bailuo was unaware of this.
The world of miracles was not just a game of power, unless you could beat everyone by yourself.
But what then?
The Miracle World was not a life-or-death arena, and no one decree that other countries must be enemies of the Yatun.
The reasons for warfare boiled down to resources, but for Masters of Miracles who could create something out of nothing, the only resource was time.
Yet the problem was, if you have an infinite amount of time to enjoy, to develop, to build a beautiful paradise, why insist on a fight to the death?
Bailuo longed for war, but it was certainly not to prove the bravery and valor of the people of Yatun with their sacrifices.
That was not what Bailuo wanted.
This kind of militarism was not Bailuo鈥檚 vision for the people of Yatun.
The attitude of Yatun should be a movement to showcase the indomitable spirit of the People of Yatun.
Calling it an Olympics-like sports competition wouldn鈥檛 be far off.
If the other side chose fairness, Yatun would also abide by fairness.
But if you bring out real swords and guns, Yatun will also fight for their lives, that was Bailuo鈥檚 stance.
However, Twilight鈥
It grasped the fear in Bailuo鈥檚 heart.
Bailuo wanted to protect his compatriots and subjects, which was his biggest weakness.
The destruction of Yatun Village more than a decade ago made Bailuo realize the importance of power.
But Bailuo鈥檚 purpose in gaining power was not to destroy anything belonging to others.
If it were so, it would be as Bailuo thought, no longer in control of power, but becoming a slave to power.
All day long, thinking of nothing but killing, conquering, conquering.
Such a person is not so much a king as a defective lineage.
If a civilization doesn鈥檛 know how to create but only knows how to plunder, then there is something wrong with it, and it should be eliminated.
Bailuo wouldn鈥檛 bully others, but he also wouldn鈥檛 allow anyone to provoke him.
If there is vengeance, seek vengeance; if there are grudges, address the grudges.
But if he received kindness, Bailuo would also repay it with all his might, reciprocating even the smallest favor with a spring of gratitude.
In fact, on the Miracle Mainland, those who truly had some grudges with Bailuo amounted to no more than Count Thorn and old grievances with the Iron Eagle King, just these two.
At least for now, Bailuo had no reason to wage war against any Miracle Kingdom other than them.
Moreover, Bailuo and Count Thorn actually didn鈥檛 have much enmity now.
Of course, this is just from Bailuo鈥檚 unilateral perspective.
Count Thorn indirectly killed his senior sister鈥檚 father, but Bailuo had almost had his revenge, having killed Li Xue Shanxianzhai.
So, from Bailuo鈥檚 point of view, he actually had no reason to start another war.
If he attacked without a justified cause, other Masters of Miracles would surely react, such as Celestial Decree and The Other; they would have reasons to stand out and protest against Bailuo鈥檚 aggressive behavior.
This wasn鈥檛 being meddlesome, it was simply a matter of character.
In the Miracle World, this kind of character is called 鈥榮tance,鈥 similar to DND鈥檚 alignment grid, but not as complicated.
It all boils down to the categories of good, neutral, and evil, and the shades and blends of these three.
Celestial Decree and The Other were both neutral; as long as you provided a suitable reason, they would not only refrain from stopping you but would even speak for you.
Compared to the good-hearted factions that liked to meddle, these two were already better.
Perhaps in their eyes, having Bailuo and Count Thorn shake hands, call a truce鈥攅ven if they continued to be hostile toward each other in the future鈥攚as more reasonable than insisting on a fight to the death.
Twilight wanted to engulf Bailuo in fear, turning him into a madman.
Luckily, Bailuo came to his senses in time.
Although saying so was very unfair to Miya, it was indeed due to Miya鈥檚 injury and the threat of death that Bailuo firmed up his own ideas.
Was it Little Miya, who he had watched grow up from a child and whom he cherished like a sister and a daughter, or was it Twilight, capable of destroying heaven and earth and elevating Bailuo to the heavens in one fell swoop?
Bailuo chose the former without hesitation.
Previously, his uncle had asked Ying Muyao and his senior sister, hoping to use certain sacrifices to help Bailuo break free from the bewitchment of Twilight from within.
鈥業 will come back.鈥
鈥極ne day, you will choose to fight alongside me.鈥
Twilight鈥檚 words still echoed in Bailuo鈥檚 ears, haunting his mind like a demonic chant that refused to dissipate.
鈥淭wilight鈥︹€
Twilight had seized part of Bailuo鈥檚 dissatisfaction and magnified it.
Its words were dangerously seductive and far too targeted. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
鈥淣o, never!鈥
Bailuo gripped the scabbard at his waist. Perhaps it was an illusion or perhaps it was truly so, but holding Twilight鈥檚 scabbard, Bailuo felt an inexplicable sense of security.
The scabbard that could barely lock away Twilight Power surely wouldn鈥檛 be far behind Twilight in terms of might.
鈥淧eace isn鈥檛 so bad, is it?鈥
Bailuo had just become a Master of Miracles, young and vigorous.
But when he witnessed Miya burned by flames, and the children being chased by Dusk Fire with nowhere to turn, Bailuo couldn鈥檛 imagine what it would be like if they truly died one day.
鈥淣o, never!鈥
Bailuo took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to suppress such possibilities.
The influence of Twilight lingered on, always present.
鈥淲here exactly is the new miracle?鈥
鈥淴iao Hei鈥︹€
鈥淩ight, Yagen! She must know how to find the miracle!鈥
Bailuo could faintly sense Yagen鈥檚 presence, unable to pinpoint her exact location, but he just knew she was there鈥攍ike his senior sister and Ying Muyao, no matter where they were, Bailuo could always feel the connection to them.
Essentially, Yagen was no different from Ying Muyao and his senior sister; they were all Bailuo鈥檚 Miracle Creatures.
鈥淗ow am I supposed to get in?鈥
Bailuo wanted to see Yagen again but didn鈥檛 know how to proceed.
And just as he was pondering this question, suddenly, Bailuo once again found himself in that mysterious space, and then he saw鈥
鈥淯h.鈥
Looking at the expanse of white before him, Bailuo knitted his brows, suppressing the urge to strike, and then asked the woman in front of him who was bathing, 鈥淲hat are you, doing?鈥
