Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

The golden banner fluttered in the wind.

Wave upon wave of vast power emanated from the banner, lightly brushing Wu Xiaode's hand.

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but let go.

With a gentle shake, the banner landed on the vacant ground not far from him, standing erect.

A moment of enlightenment suddenly emerged in Wu Xiaode's mind.

The banner was rejecting him—

—It was telling him he wasn't yet qualified to wield it.

This banner of flowing sand contained the Power of Eternity stolen from the Holy Realm.

Yet he harbored two sequences within himself, both belonging to beings of the Holy Realm; if they discovered the banner in his possession, no one knew what might happen.

The owner of the "Chaos" sequence had already intended to descend to the Lower Realm.

Though the owner of the "Fishing" sequence preferred angling, if the power within the banner proved useful...

Perhaps they wouldn't mind dealing with him and taking the opportunity to snatch the banner of flowing sand.

As Wu Xiaode pondered, the banner suddenly spoke:

"Kid, now it's up to whether you're willing to let go."

"What do you mean?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Have you realized that your 'Super Shadow Followers' don't carry any sequences?" the banner of flowing sand queried.

Wu Xiaode looked toward his other self.

Indeed.

Although this "Wu Xiaode" perfectly replicated everything about him, it possessed no sequences!

The banner of flowing sand spoke again: "If you are willing to forsake the benefits brought by the two sequences, I, the banner, shall take it upon myself to transfer them onto your Shadow Followers."

"Of course, I'm willing!" Wu Xiaode said.

"Infinite Appraisal" and "Peace Lover," even the "Aura of History," he could give them all away.

After all, compared to these, what mattered was the Power of Eternity that the Master of Time had stolen from the Holy Realm!

Considering trust and interests, the only choice for him should be the banner of flowing sand!

—But how to transfer the two sequences to his other self?

"Good, bold! The creators of the two sequences aren't paying attention to you right now; it's the perfect time for me to assist you!"

The banner of flowing sand praised then suddenly emanated a round of golden radiance.

This radiance turned into two golden lines in mid-air, one falling upon Wu Xiaode and the other linking to his Shadow Followers.

The next moment.

Rows of ice crystal characters quickly appeared before Wu Xiaode's eyes:

"By the power of the 'banner of flowing sand,' the two sequences 'Fishing' and 'Chaos' have been perfectly transplanted onto your Super Shadow Followers."

"Your original self no longer possesses the power granted by 'Fishing' and 'Chaos'."

"From now on, you only have one sequence, named 'Primordial'."

More characters frantically updated.

After watching for a while, Wu Xiaode gradually realized the wondrous use of the banner of flowing sand.

"I see, I can't let the sacrifice of the Master of Time go in vain..."

"Although it seems like he hasn't died."

After saying these words, Wu Xiaode pulled out the banner of flowing sand, placed it on his shoulder, and slowly backed away.

Endless flowing sand appeared within the Void, rushing towards him.

In the blink of an eye.

The flowing sand and Wu Xiaode vanished together.

Only his Super Shadow Followers remained, still standing motionless in the same spot.

Time slowly passed by.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The battlefield began to feel illusory and unreal.

Several figures skimmed through the air from a distance, landing in front of "Wu Xiaode."

It was Sage, Biao, and Kushou.

Disappointment was written all over the three faces as they looked toward "Wu Xiaode."

"Any findings?" Sage asked.

"Wu Xiaode" at first did not react, but soon came to his senses and shook his head:

"This place obviously looks like an illusion from past eras, how could it hold the treasure of the Master of Time? I think you've been duped."

"I remember you standing right here when we left—have you been standing here the whole time?" Kushou asked.

"Yes, I took a look around and immediately realized this was a boring, phony treasure trove," Wu Xiaode said.

"Then why didn't you tell us?" Biao glared at him and said.

"How could I tell you?" "Wu Xiaode" retorted.

Biao opened his mouth but could not speak.

They had only regarded the other as a tool to access this secret treasure site, keeping their distance from the start; it was indeed impossible for him to reach them.

Forget it.

There really was no banner here.

With this thought, Biao sighed, no longer wishing to argue with "Wu Xiaode."

Space started to experience waves of fluctuations.

In a flash, the four were teleported out, returning to that room.

A voice immediately rang out in the room:

"Finally found you."

In a distant space-time, Wu Xiaode quickly manipulated the game controller, directly activating "Infinite Appraisal" on his Super Shadow Followers.

"Damn it, I must catch up!" he uttered softly.

The next moment.

Inside the room, two figures made their move simultaneously.

One of the figures passed right through "Wu Xiaode's" body, completely missing him.

The other figure successfully seized "Wu Xiaode"!

—It was Emperor Bai!

He lifted "Wu Xiaode" high, bellowing, "Killing you will usher in the age truly belonging to us!"

The Night King stood to the side, shouting, "Kill him!"

"Wu Xiaode," however, did not resist, merely stating coldly, "You've mistaken the person."

"Hahahaha, on the brink of death—"

Emperor Bai burst into laughter, but halfway through, the sound abruptly stopped.

He froze in place.

"What are you doing, hurry and kill him!" the Night King urged frantically.

As if he heard nothing, Emperor Bai just stared dumbly at the Void in front of him.

"The 'Chaos' sequence within the opponent is requesting to be added to you, do you accept?"

His own "Sage" sequence sent out the above reminder.

—In the past, when Wu Xiaode's true body possessed the "Chaos" sequence, he never thought of releasing it, as it seemed extremely likely to cause all sorts of disasters.

But now—

Using "Chaos" to prove his identity couldn't be better!

Besides, with mysterious life forms all over the world, how much more disaster could "Chaos" possibly add?

Emperor Bai threw "Wu Xiaode" out.

He shouted to the Night King:

"This guy has the 'Chaos' sequence on him!"

"Indeed, he has it, but he is also the human who released 'love, dreams, and world peace'—don't be deceived, kill him!" the Night King quickly said.

Emperor Bai suddenly turned his head and looked at "Wu Xiaode" again.

"Wu Xiaode" just laughed.

"The person you're speaking of is called Wu Xiaode, but I am not him."

"But you look exactly like him."

"He imitated my human appearance to deceive the numerous mysterious life forms."

"What's your proof?"

"This."

"Wu Xiaode" stepped towards Emperor Bai, stretched out his hand, and pressed down through the air.

Several lines of text popped out in front of Emperor Bai:

"The opponent is displaying his sequences."

"Two sequences have been detected: 'Chaos' and 'Fishing.'"

"Fishing"!

This sequence belonged to that big shot from the Holy Realm!

How could it possibly appear on a human?

Not…

Maybe this person was telling the truth.

Emperor Bai hesitated a little.

Standing to the side, the Night King, too, saw all this via his own "Dark Night" sequence.

Sweat broke out on his forehead as he whispered cautiously:

"It's the 'Fishing' sequence… That great Eternal, I cannot afford to provoke."

"—But this isn't right!"

His voice rose:

"His Excellency has always been neutral and would never rashly support humans."

"More importantly, even if you possess two sequences, this cannot prove your identity!"

"Wu Xiaode" smiled approvingly at him.

—This guy is sharp!

"That's simple. You must have some sort of resurrection skill. Now, let me die, and then you can see if the 'love, dreams, and world peace' of the world disappear or not."

"Wu Xiaode" spread his arms open and said calmly, "But there's one thing I must remind you."

"I am the last bearer of the 'Chaos' sequence, and I am also working for Lord 'Fisher'."

"If you don't resurrect me after killing me, then—"

"It doesn't matter to me."

"But the sequences will report to the Holy Realm, and both Eternals will be aware of the happenings here, so you'll just have to pray for yourselves."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight up to Emperor Bai.

Let it be.

To seek life, one must first confront death.

"Wu Xiaode" snatched the magic wand from Emperor Bai's waist and plunged it directly into his own chest.

Blood gushed out.

The health bar above his head gradually dwindled as well.

Emperor Bai and the Night King exchanged glances.

"But…"

Emperor Bai unwillingly began to say something but was directly interrupted by "Wu Xiaode":

"There are no 'buts', just watch."

As his voice fell.

His health bar emptied.

Thud.

"Wu Xiaode" fell to the ground.

The Night King's expression changed, and he stamped his foot, "Quick! Save him! I cannot bear the wrath of those two Excellencies!"

As he spoke, Emperor Bai had already stepped forward and pressed his hand on "Wu Xiaode's" chest, shouting:

"Resurrect."

—Both powerful mysterious beings had already noticed.

When this "Wu Xiaode" died, not only was there no sequence reminder, but the world also did not experience any fluctuations.

In other words—

The powers of "love, dreams, and world peace" had not dissipated.

In other words—

He was not that person!

With the high-level mysterious resurrection skill released by Emperor Bai, "Wu Xiaode" once again opened his eyes.

He pulled the wand out of his chest, looked at the two powerful mysterious beings, and said lightly:

"Well? Have you figured it out now?"

"We have figured it out," Emperor Bai said, forcing a smile.

The Night King even stepped forward and patted his shoulder, saying affectionately:

"Sorry, we were too impulsive—"

"So it turns out you're one of us."
