"Senior Bai... Are you alright..."
Su Xijun saw Bai Yan shatter the remnants of the Outer Realm beings. After hesitating for a mont, he finally walked forward, stood in front of Bai Yan, and cautiously asked.
"You're fine, why wouldn't I be."
Bai Yan glanced at Su Xijun with so irritation. At that mont, the power within him was rapidly dissipating. Once he canceled the possession of demon power, those forces that originally didn't belong to him would return to their true owners.
Feeling the rapidly fading strength, Bai Yan had a mont of clarity in his heart.
"Thank you, Senior Bai, for saving my life. If you hadn't arrived in ti, I fear I would have already..."
Su Xijun lowered his head as he spoke, resembling a child admitting a mistake in front of his teacher.
Bai Yan intended to chastise him a bit but, seeing his deanor, swallowed the words back.
"Alright, your own matters, as long as you know them, just don't be so reckless next ti. Do you even realize how many people in the Human World stand against you?"
"Senior Bai is right, I will rember."
Su Xijun obediently replied. To him, Bai Yan was certainly a respectable elder.
After Bai Yan finished speaking, a strange silence ensued between them. Su Xijun pondered for a mont and then spoke again.
"Senior Bai, there is still sothing I wish to entrust to you."
"Go ahead, what is it?"
Although Bai Yan had so expectation in his heart, he still pretended not to know and asked.
"Senior Bai, you have seen how many in the Human World want to see dead. Unlike my father and brothers, I don't have their prestige and can't control them, nor is this my ambition."
"Therefore, I implore Senior Bai..."
Eventually, all the power within Bai Yan dissipated, and his strength fell back to the peak of the Saint Realm.
He sighed lightly and turned to Su Xijun, interrupting, "You want to oversee the Human World?"
"Indeed, Senior Bai, I ntioned before, and I'm willing to hand over the position of Human World ruler to you. Surely, with your strength, you could control the Human World and develop it stronger."
"Moreover, I feel a breakthrough is imminent, so I must retreat to cultivate. If I don't entrust the Human World to soone I trust, I dare not retreat."
As Su Xijun spoke, his voice beca sowhat choked.
He was, after all, just a child. Facing countless old ministers and powerful court officials who had contributed greatly to the Human World alongside his father and brothers, he found himself inadequate.
"...Alright, but you must promise one thing."
Bai Yan was silent for a few seconds before breathing a sigh and agreeing.
"What is it?" Su Xijun questioned, puzzled by Bai Yan's words.
"Until you reach the Quasi-Emperor Peak, never leave the Endless Star Sea."
Bai Yan looked into Su Xijun's eyes, trying to carve these words deep into his mind.
As his strength increased, Bai Yan's mories were also gradually restored. Over the past few months, he frequently dreamt of events from a past life.
He dreamt of the limitless Outer Void, where countless strong individuals fell, golden divine blood mingling with dismbered remains floating in the void.
Even those with Quasi-Emperor-level strength couldn't last long there.
In recent years, the situation in the Outer Domain has worsened, seemingly reaching a point where even Su Yu, a Great Emperor, struggles to continue.
In Bai Yan's understanding, Su Xijun likely yearned to join the battlefield alongside his father and brothers, but with his current strength, going to the Outer Domain would be futile.
Not only Su Xijun but even Bai Yan lacked the courage to venture into the Outer Domain.
Furthermore, there were still many remnants of Outer Realm Life in the Endless Star Sea waiting for Bai Yan to eliminate.
"This... Senior Bai... Can we change..."
Hearing Bai Yan state not to leave the Endless Star Sea until reaching the Quasi-Emperor Peak, Su Xijun was about to retort.
Knowing his strength, he realized achieving Quasi-Emperor Peak in re decades was unlikely.
His plan was to join his father and brothers imdiately upon reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Unexpectedly, Bai Yan's words halted him.
"No way. The Outer Domain isn't the Endless Star Sea. Its inhabitants never reason, only slaughter, rciless slaughter. If you wish to go, your strength must be at its peak. Otherwise, even if you go, I will have your father and elder brother send you back!"
Facing Su Xijun, Bai Yan genuinely felt like he was addressing a young mber of his family. In such circumstances, Bai Yan naturally wished to shield him from harm.
"This... Alright..."
Su Xijun, hearing Bai Yan's firm tone, realized without doubt that Bai Yan would notify Su Yu to summon him back from the Outer Domain.
Seeing this path was blocked, he decided to focus on his cultivation. Only by elevating his strength to the Quasi-Emperor Peak could he rightly go and reunite with his father and elder brother!
Su Xijun's thoughts swirled, and ultimately, he succumbed to Bai Yan's words.
"Alright, the matters of the Human World are now my responsibility. You focus on cultivating here."
Seeing Su Xijun agree, Bai Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, casually waving to break the spatial restriction and defensive array set by the realm's remnants.
The people on Demon Island watched Bai Yan erge unscathed from the palace ruins, their hearts finally settling back into their chests.
"Congratulations, Brother Yan!"
"Congratulations, Master!"
With a wave, Bai Yan stopped the Demon Island crowd's congratulations and returned to the central hall to sit at the main seat.
"Alright, swiftly take control of the Human World. The Outer Realm Being Detectors manufactured by the Research Departnt can be commissioned quickly, and upon discovering any Outer Realm Beings... Rather err on the side of caution than let anyone slip by."
"Yes, Brother Yan."
Qin Jiuluo was the first to respond, though the others hesitated sowhat.
"I hope no one feels any sympathy for the remnants of Outer Realm Life. They are enemies, inevitably invading the Endless Star Sea, aiming to seize bodies of relatives and obliterate the spiritual wisdom of loved ones."
"Against them, there's only one word: annihilate!"
"Do you understand?!"
Bai Yan's voice suddenly heightened. For Bai Yan, the extre speciesist, regardless of why the Outer Realm Beings ca to invade the Endless Star Sea, their action dictated their fate to be the sa—dying by his hand!
"Understood!"
The monks of the Human World suddenly faced a terrifying cleansing on this day. Any association with the Outer Realm Beings led to capture. Even years later, they remained silent about this day.
The fear from Bai Yan and Demon Island's rule would haunt them for life!
