He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Feeling Xie Bai's gaze, Yu Yuan's body stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously turned her face away to avoid his gaze.

At this moment, he was clearly worried that Xie Bai might pursue the matter.

But Xie Bai did not dwell on this issue.

She looked away and turned her gaze back to Thanatos.

"However, you did a very good job."

Her tone was calm, revealing neither praise nor criticism.

"There are some things that do require my personal intervention."

She turned around, her back to everyone.

"Make arrangements for those newly resurrected holy believers. From now on, Tianshang Mountain will serve as our second stronghold, and we will also set up a void passage here."

"Yes."

Thanatos bowed his head in agreement, but his heart was churning with turmoil.

There are some matters that do indeed require my personal intervention...

Is my lord implying that my strength... is it not enough?

Thinking of this, Thanatos's eyes drooped even more.

"It seems I've been too complacent, basking in the power of death for too long. I must find a way to improve myself and become worthy of this power."

Xie Bai did not notice Thanatos's inner turmoil at that moment.

She had reached Azsarax.

When he saw Xie Bai walking towards him, Azsarax froze.

"Um...I..."

She was a little nervous and could barely speak.

The pressure Xie Bai exerted on her was second only to Brandon's.

Although Xie Bai never demanded the same level of strictness from her as Brandon, and was always gentle in his attitude, even patiently listening when she secretly complained about Brandon's harshness...

But Azsarax was someone who had personally witnessed Xie Bai's strength.

Especially in this seemingly tense situation.

"Azsarax".

"arrive!"

Azsarax instinctively straightened his back; his short stature barely reached Xie Bai's neck.

"Remember not to stay out too long."

Her voice was soft, yet carried a hint of concern.

"If Brandon finds out what happened here, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

After saying that, Xie Bai turned and left, his figure fading away on the deck.

Once Xie Bai's figure had completely disappeared, the Northern lords, who had been keeping silent, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Without him.

Xie Bai, despite his petite and adorable appearance, tried his best to project an air of authority through his words and actions...

The contrast is just too striking.

Especially when she says with a stern face, "Remember not to play outside for too long."

That feeling of being petite and cute yourself, yet having to act as a parent to another, even smaller, little girl...

Tsk…

Gee tut.

However, given Xie Bai's strength, they absolutely, absolutely dared not reveal it.

Just as one of the lords was about to say something—

He felt a cold gaze.

It was the scent of death.

Upon seeing this, the northern lord immediately shut his mouth.

Seeing Xie Bai leave, Azsarax paused for a second, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Bai didn't blame her!

But soon, she realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yeah...and that Brandon guy too!"

Azsarax's small body began to writhe restlessly, and her tail, which had somehow appeared, swayed unconsciously behind her.

She turned to look at the cat beside her and pitifully approached it.

"Kitty...you'll protect me again this time, right?"

She tried to use her best skill—acting cute—to break down the cat's defenses and get her to join her side.

Then she discovered—

The cat was kneeling on the ground in frustration, pounding its fists violently on the deck.

"Damn it! Why! Why on earth?!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, she was on the verge of collapse.

"Why did the live stream malfunction again at such a great opportunity?!"

Azsarax looked at the cat's exaggerated movements and couldn't help but take a half step back.

Why does it feel like... the cat is even more emotionally devastated than she is now?

She turned her head in confusion, looking at the spot where Yu Yunsheng had originally stood.

"Um... do you know what happened to her, why she's like this...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she realized that Yu Yunsheng had disappeared without a trace.

"Wait, where is she?"

At this moment, Taro Ball walked up from the side.

"Her?"

His tone was somewhat subtle.

"I guess they followed that person down to find Elania."

At this point, he couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Although the plan succeeded, Xie Bai did not pursue the matter further.

But the final result was still hard for him to accept.

In his previous life, he had never seen his sister develop such strong feelings for Elania.

Where exactly did things go wrong?

Is it the butterfly effect?

He was a little worried that his sister might do something outrageous.

It wasn't that he cared about his sister's choice; on the contrary, he was quite open-minded in this regard.

But the problem is that Elania is different from all the petite and cute lolis.

She is indeed a minor!

Thinking of this, Yuyuan wiped her cheek with the hand that was on her forehead and let out a long sigh.

"What a tragedy..."

……

Once down there, Xie Bai gently lifted Alania's face and carefully examined the unconscious girl.

This was the first time she had truly met this chosen one.

Her long, golden hair was slightly disheveled, and her face was so pale it was almost transparent, like a piece of porcelain that could shatter at the slightest touch.

The next second, the familiar panel appeared before her eyes.

[Ilania lv.45]

【Occupation: Holy Child】

【…】

[Talent: Destiny Star - Priest]

Beings protected by the world possess a unique destiny.

As the chosen one on the priest's side, you can embrace all power and disregard the limits of what you can bear, gradually attracting all power that can be used for your own purposes.

Xie Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Priest's Chosen One is very strong.

That's ridiculously strong.

Theoretically speaking, Aranea is a vessel without limits; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a vessel of the gods.

As long as she keeps accumulating power within, she can reach an unattainable height.

Even more terrifying is that this talent can also help Elania actively gather the power she can absorb and utilize...

For example, other pastors with great potential.

However, compared to this rather selfish talent, Aranea herself is quite kind.

Xie Bai snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Alania's pale face.

If Taro Ball hadn't brought Elania to the Holy Light beforehand, thus prompting the will left behind by Gliese to act against the Innate Light earlier...

Instead, if the innate light were to remain within Elania's body...

When the time is right, the innate light can merge with all the power absorbed by Elania, allowing Gliese's will to descend upon Elania in an even stronger form.

Furthermore, they can inherit Elania's talent for infinitely containing power.

Xie Bai frowned slightly as he thought of that scene.

The taro balls did indeed achieve their ultimate goal.

By stripping away the innate light in advance, the worst outcome was avoided.

However, he clearly only considered the stripping step and ignored the impact on Elania after the innate light was stripped away.

Aranea remains unconscious.

"perhaps……"

Xie Bai murmured to himself.

"Was it because she suddenly lacked a powerful force within her body, causing a backlash from her innate talent?"

Although Xie Bai and Elania didn't have much interaction, she would never let this go unchecked.

In Xie Bai's mind, no matter what the final outcome is, everyone has to live to make dumplings together.

She would never accept an ending that lacks someone.

What's more, right now, there's someone beside her who's worried about Elania.
