Chapter 577: Chapter 572: Gate of Heaven

“Dad? Brother Qi?”

Seeing several people come back safe and sound, Bai Yuxiao, ignoring the military discipline, directly jumped off the city wall. Only when he was about to land did he activate his talent for dematerialization and gently touched the ground. Then, he ran towards Bai Qi and the rest.

Seeing this scene, Wang Huai and the others did not stop him, and also left the city wall.

“Dad, are you guys okay?”

Bai Yuxiao looked Bai Tongchen and Bai Qi up and down. He seemed somewhat incredulous.

Even though everyone told him to leave everything to Instructor Luo and Yi Yu, the two legends, and they’d rescue them soon, Bai Yuxiao felt somewhat surreal when he thought of the price the tribe had paid for this.

“Stinky boy, you wish something happened to us?!”

At Bai Yuxiao’s words, Bai Tongchen, who had just felt a bit sentimental, frowned and hit Bai Yuxiao over the head.

“This feeling… it seems it’s real!”

With his head in hands, Bai Yuxiao crouched down, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face. Seeing this, Bai Qiucha and the others who followed soon also smiled knowingly.

“Second Uncle, Bai Qi, you are back.”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “Although the process was somewhat tortuous, we did come back safe and sound.”

“Safe? So, it is really dangerous over there.”

Bai Qiucha looked up at the Rock Giant before him, who was excessively large, and roughly understood what Bai Qi and the others had gone through these days.

“Kid, I was thinking about how to locate your position over there, but you guys made it out on your own?”

Instructor Luo flew up from the abyss and landed next to Bai Qi, jokingly said.

“Instructor Luo, you’ve come too.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi was not surprised. As an expert in the field of mystery studies and having anchored two Element Gates before, it was most appropriate to look for Instructor Luo when they were trapped in the Elemental World.

“Had no choice, who let that stinky fortune teller predicted that something would happen to you guys, unfortunately, we were still a step late,” Luo Xiang pointed at the Yi Yu behind him, and grumbled.

“No matter, one could say you guys arrived just in time.”

Bai Qi smiled. If they had stopped him, he might not have gotten these opportunities.

Bai Qi looked at the Element Gate supported by the Rock Giant and at the Earth Elementals carrying chunks of ores out of it, grinning.

To show its gratitude, the consciousness of the Earth Elemental Realm, besides giving Jie Ta some benefits, also instructed those Earth Elementals who had recovered their sensibility to gather “some” ores as a thank you gift.

Of course, this was for Huangfu Wujiu and the rest. As for Bai Qi’s share, he had taken it a long time ago.

“Most of our clan is still slowly recovering, and when there’s a chance I will have them send some more out.”

The Rock Giant looked somewhat embarrassed at the ores that had just been piled into a small hill in front of him and said.

“It’s fine, I’m not in a rush, just take your time,” Bai Qi shook his head, and said, “After all, once I anchor the other Element Gate, we will have plenty of opportunities.”

“Yes, I am looking forward to Mr. Bai Qi’s contact.”

The Rock Giant nodded his head. After all the Earth Elementals returned to the Element Gate, he said, “This Element Gate I will temporarily anchor it here, the connection of the Earth Elemental Realm to the main world has been broken for too long, we need some time to stabilize it.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, pointed to the desolate wall behind him, and said, “This desolate wall is what I told you about the Federation defense wall. I hope that when the time comes, the Earth Elemental Realm can provide aid when necessary.”

“Of course we will. The World Will has told us that Mr. Bai Qi’s friends are the Earth Elemental Realm’s friends, and anyone who threatens Mr. Bai Qi’s friends is our enemy.”

The Rock Giant gave a solemn promise and then slowly retreated towards the Element Gate.

“I need to go help those weak clan members first. I’ll take my leave now.”

After saying this, the Rock Giant gradually disappeared into the Earth Element Door, and the Earth Element Door also started to shrink, finally becoming a door about two people high, standing on this side of the abyss near the desolate wall.

“Bai Qi, can you tell me what exactly happened?”

Qi Zhao came up to Bai Qi and asked.

“In simple terms, the Earth Elemental Realm’s external gates were all sealed, and the only Element Gate, namely the door that the tribe used to seal off the Legendary Huangfu and others before, was opened by us. Plus, our experiences inside, it seems we have done the Earth Elemental Realm a great favor, so the Earth Elemental Realm is now a loyal ally of our Federation.”

Bai Qi succinctly depicted the current situation, leaving Qi Zhao and others looking baffled.

Pulling the Earth Elemental Realm to be an ally?

Seeing the reactions of those people, Huangfu Wujiu and the rest couldn’t help but laugh. However, when they thought of the scene when Bai Qi was conversing with the consciousness of the Earth Elemental Realm, they did not find it strange.

It has to be said, the Earth Elemental Beings were truly honest. Bai Qi chatted with the consciousness of the Earth Elemental Realm for only about ten minutes, and they were considered the closest allies.

Huangfu Wujiu was fully convinced that if Bai Qi asked them to help fight the tribe, these Earth Elementals would directly go for it.

“No matter what, this outcome is a cause for celebration.”

Seeing everyone safely return, Qi Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether it was Huangfu Wujiu or Uffie, these two Titled Legends, or Bai Tongchen, the master of the Six Tower, or Bai Qi, the future star, losing any one of them would be a huge loss to humanity.

Fortunately, everyone had returned now, and nothing else mattered.

No, one could even say that the current outcome was the best.

After the several of them disappeared, the tribe did launch several probing attacks, among which were Legendary Ferocious Beasts.

However, due to two newly emerged legends, Luo Xiang and Yi Yu, and the ferocious firepower of the fourth wall, these attacks eventually came to nothing.

Now that the legends have returned safely, the fourth wall was truly stable in every sense of the word.

And now, outside the fourth wall, there was an additional natural barrier.

Due to the Earth Elemental Gate, a chasm filled with magma appeared on the desolate wastelands. Ferocious beasts without sufficient strength or flight ability could not cross the chasm at all.

From a certain perspective, the tribal tactic of overwhelming with hoards of beasts was now rendered useless.

“Alright, everyone has suffered substantial loss these days, so let’s quickly go back and rest. We also need to discuss the matters ahead,” said Huangfu Wujiu.

Since the tribe was willing to pay such a high price to seal them, they could not rule out the possibility of similar actions being taken elsewhere. For safety’s sake, preparations needed to be made early.

“Yes, the situation in other directions is also not optimistic, especially in the west. Without the presence of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance, the tribe may have seized the opportunity of the Bo Ge family’s disappearance and infiltrated,” Qi Zhao nodded and briefly informed them of the Federation’s recent situation.

Everyone returned to the desolate wall, Bai Yuxiao immediately wanted to question Bai Qi about the specifics, but was directly rejected by Bai Qi.

The issue in the Earth Elemental Realm had been settled, but Gamma had not yet awakened.

…

The Holy and Demon Mysterious Territory.

Bai Qi and the other five pets were squatting on the ground in silence, looking at Gamma, who still hadn’t emerged from his eggshell, with some worry.

“Do you think Gamma could be suffering from indigestion?”

Gamma had been in this state for seven or eight hours now with no signs of movement, so Bai Qi was genuinely concerned.

After all, even for evolving into Emperor-level, it couldn’t possibly take this long. When Alpha evolved back then, it had been completed in an instant.

Crack crack.

(Boss, my evolution was accelerated by the Temporal Breath back then. From my experience, normal evolution time isn’t short.)

“Alright, let’s hope that’s the case.”

Bai Qi nodded, glanced at Delta, and gave up on the idea of rushing the process.

Alpha’s fast-tracked evolution was due to desperation. Now they weren’t in a rush, there was no need to take unnecessary risks.

“However, I didn’t expect Gamma to be the first one to solve his exclusive Mysterious Territory. I never thought the day would come when the opposing attributes of holy light and evil power would fuse into a Mysterious Territory.”

Looking at the entirely different Holy and Demon Mysterious Territory, Bai Qi grinned.

Woof woof…

(I also want my own Mysterious Territory…)

Beta looked envious. Seeing Jie Ta, who had gotten slightly stronger, he pulled away from him.

Although he hadn’t tried fighting yet, his Insight into Everything told him that Jie Ta had become harder to deal with.

“You can stop thinking about it for now. There aren’t many high-quality Mysterious Territories for the spiritual attribute,” Schuck ruthlessly shattered Beta’s dreams, saying, “Instead of these matters, it would be better to think about where we’ll collect the materials for creating the Twelve Zodiac Guardian Beasts.”

Woof woof!

(It’s all Schuck’s fault! Otherwise, I would be the second one at the Emperor-level!)

Hearing Beta’s complaint, Schuck glanced at him and said, “If I were you, are you sure you’d blame me?”

Beta helplessly lowered his head, but was suddenly drawn to the sound of an eggshell cracking.

The eggshell that Gamma had transformed into was cracking!

Bai Qi and the five pets immediately gathered around, but were pushed away by a strange evolution light. Then they saw white feathers falling from the sky onto the egg.

At the same time, a green scale fell out of the crack in the egg, then more and more fell out, slowly piling up on the egg.

Finally, when the egg rose to the center of the Holy and Demon Mysterious Territory, the eggshell shattered completely.

In an instant, two drastically different forces surged into Bai Qi’s body and soul, pushing Bai Qi’s attributes to a new height.

“Such a powerful feedback, Gamma really did evolve into the Emperor level.”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. Feeling his increasingly robust body and spirit, he made an immediate judgment.

And when he received the first skill information passed on from Gamma, he was even more certain.

[Skill Name]: Gate of Heaven

[Skill Level]: Immortal Level

[Skill Effect]: Behind my gate, all is peaceful.

Note: This territorial skill opens the Gate of Heaven, which can absorb any attack and convert the absorbed energy into either attack or healing.

…

“Gate of Heaven… Immortal level… This is simply an unbeatable combined attack, defense, and support divine skill!”
