Chapter 2147: The Final Mission World (Part 4)

Moreover, due to biological instinct, she felt a strong presence emanating from this man.

This was not something she could contend with in her current state.

The creatures of the Vast Wilderness have always sought benefits and avoided harm; she was not a match for this man but rather his prey.

Bai Ze stepped forward, blocking Ayin.

He looked at the man in front of him, his expression somewhat displeased, yet he still slightly bowed to show his respect: "Kirin Zi."

Standing behind him, Ayin’s eyes widened upon hearing this title.

In the past two days, Bai Ze had explained to her a lot about the powerful Quasi-Saints on the continent of the Vast Wilderness.

In fact, Kirin Zi, the King of Beasts of the Monster Race, was among the most formidable figures.

It is said that he was the first Kirin between heaven and earth, and from the moment of his birth, he was appointed by the Heavenly Dao as the King of Beasts, alongside the Ancestral Phoenix, King of Birds, and the Ancestral Dragon, King of Water, as the three Great Kings of the Monster Race.

Although Bai Ze was an Innate Divine Beast, with strength nearing that of a Quasi-Saint, he was still fundamentally considered a beast.

This meant that he must bow his head before Kirin Zi.

Kirin Zi also retracted his scrutinizing gaze upon Bai Ze and, after a slight nod, said, "Is this your dependent?"

He pointed to Ayin behind Bai Ze.

It is also a normal practice nowadays for the strong to choose the weak as their dependents.

Ayin looked at Bai Ze somewhat bewildered.

Bai Ze shook his head and simply said, "Ayin is my friend."

"Friend?" Kirin Zi chewed on this word, then suddenly smiled.

"I’ve never heard of a Daluo Golden Immortal being friends with an Innate Spiritual Being who doesn’t even count as a Taiyi Real Immortal."

Currently, the most powerful in the Vast Wilderness are the Quasi-Saint level, below which are the Daluo Golden Immortals, and below them are the Taiyi Real Immortals.

What Kirin Zi said is indeed the current reality of the Vast Wilderness.

In this world, everything is about strength; the weak have no right to speak in front of the strong, let alone become friends.

Bai Ze’s face was somewhat unsightly, and he suppressed his anger, saying, "I, Bai Ze, make friends based on a good impression, not looking for opponents. What does strength have to do with it?"

Kirin Zi looked at the white-robed young man’s glaring expression and maliciously smiled, "It’s a pity, I’m quite interested in this little grass. If she’s not your dependent, taking her by force wouldn’t be your concern, would it?"

Bai Ze was furious: "How can you be so overbearing!"

Kirin Zi laughed arrogantly: "Has my reputation for being overbearing only spread today?"

Bai Ze fell silent.

Yes.

Kirin Zi never shied away from his privileged birth; he was born a Daluo Golden Immortal, and upon reaching adulthood, his strength directly advanced to a Quasi-Saint.

It was merely a good birth that gave him opportunities others couldn’t attain in a lifetime, naturally making him incredibly arrogant.

Aside from a few who he deemed worthy of notice, others like Ayin, who didn’t have any backing, were not even considered creatures in his eyes, just objects.

By comparison, the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors, who were of equivalent status to him, had a much better reputation.

Bai Ze silently protected Ayin behind him, his attitude evident.

Kirin Zi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Bai Ze, are you going to oppose me?"

Bai Ze’s mind raced; he knew his strength was certainly no match for Kirin Zi’s. Why not mention that person behind him to make Kirin Zi reconsider?

He immediately said, "Kirin Zi, I’ll show you something. Consider whether you can provoke Ayin after that."

The delayed Fourth Watch of the Night.

In this pseudo-Vast Wilderness world, adding a ’pseudo’ prefix suggests that this is a chaotic world created from the author’s insane imagination.

For the sake of those who are meticulous about details, Gao Lengzhi knows that Pangu opened up heaven and earth, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans are mortal enemies, and the Vast Wilderness has a Dao Ancestor named Hongjun, etc... but... this is a pseudo world, so there will be many differences; consider it a fictional setting.

There are three more updates; I will write slowly and update before midnight.
