The pursuit lasted a full month. Just as Wang Baole had reached his limits and his mind was on the verge of a breakdown, the pursuing lightning bolts began showing signs of dissipating. It was as if a time limit for their pursuit had been set, and they had finally reached the end of that time limit. Wang Baole’s spirits soared at the sign of their dissipation. Expending the last of his energy, he made a final charge into the distance. Finally, after three days, the last of the lightning bolts vanished without a trace.

Wang Baole turned back and stared at the cosmos. It had returned to its initial peaceful silence. He had a feeling that he had barely escaped death. At the same time, he was overcome by intense and growing fury and resentment. He had made up his mind. He wasn’t going to make another wish unless it was his last resort!

“What a stupid bottle!” Wang Baole said furiously. He found himself a meteorite and sat down to catch his breath. He could sense that he was near the edge of the Divine Eye civilization.

It’s probably going to take me another three days to reach the Divine Eye civilization. Those lightning bolts sure chose the right time to disappear… Wang Baole sighed. After a brief meditation session, he looked down and peeped into his storage bag. The golden beetle that he had gotten from Dan Zhouzi was resting inside. It appeared to be on its last leg.

However, it was being fed Red Crystals, which kept it alive for the moment. Now that Wang Baole had finally managed to catch his breath, he sent his Divine Will into the golden beetle and tried to imprint his will onto the creature. This would force the beetle to recognize Wang Baole as its master instead and allow Wang Baole to gain control over the creature.

Despite its severely weakened state, the beetle’s mind resisted Wang Baole’s intrusions. He could sense an extremely strong will that resisted subjugation. It appeared ready to die instead of submitting itself to Wang Baole’s will.

That displeased Wang Baole tremendously. He had been hunted by lightning for a month and was in a terrible mood because of that. The foolhardy defiance that the golden beetle was displaying made him scoff. He was going to show the beetle who the boss was.

“Enlightened…” Wang Baole said casually as he invoked the all-powerful Dao Scripture.

It didn’t take long before a will that didn’t seem to belong to this world surged from what seemed like the farthest part of the cosmos. It descended with incredible power and let the weight of that vast power fall… upon a tiny bug.

The obstinate golden beetle let out a pained howl almost immediately. It abandoned all resistance and began to shudder violently. Extremely pleased, Wang Baole imprinted his Divine Sense on the creature.

“I see that you finally know who the boss around here is now.” Wang Baole rose proudly to his feet and, with a wave of his sleeves, decided to leave the meteorite and continue his journey. The power of the Dao Scripture had begun to fade away. As he got ready to step off the meteorite, he thought he heard a scoff in his ear.

It seemed to have come from the farthest depths of the universe. At the same time, it seemed to not be of this universe. It seemed to come from the same source that the will in the Dao Scripture had come from. Wang Baole shuddered instantly, and shock flashed across his face. He looked around hastily as his heart began to race.

After searching the surrounding cosmos fearfully and with suspicion, Wang Baole finally rubbed his nose and left the area with haste. He remained vigilant and tense until he managed to put considerable distance between himself and the meteorite. That was when he allowed himself to release a long sigh.

It seems like I have to use the Dao Scripture sparingly now. I have a feeling… that the unknown presence in the Dao Scripture might just wake up if I keep invoking it… Wang Baole’s face fell. He was putting himself in the other entity’s shoes. If a mosquito were to start buzzing around him when he was about to doze off, the first thing he would probably do when he shook himself awake… was squash the mosquito.

That thought sent fear rippling through Wang Baole. He repeatedly sighed as he made his way towards the borders of the Divine Eye civilization. Days later, he finally reached his destination. He set aside the depressing thoughts that had been plaguing him and narrowed his eyes. An icy light flashed across his eyes as he eyed the Divine Eye civilization before him.

“I’m back!” Wang Baole said mildly. He had been forced to run away and had been chased relentlessly by his pursuers. Now that he was back, he was filled with endless questions and doubts!

Do I really get control over the Eye of the Eternal Star if I kill He Yunzi?

What was the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch hiding? Did he really have nothing to do with me being set up?
