Tang Haofei ignored the puzzled Fran and Tang Hao. He simply stood up and moved to Bai's side.
“Dad…”
Behind him, Tang Hao’s voice flashed by, but Tang Haofei slowly turned around, revealing a complex smile towards Tang Hao.
At that moment, Bai had already activated the Rift Device. He gently pushed Tang Haofei, who, following that force, abruptly dove into the crack.
In the end, he left Tang Hao and Fran with an enigmatic smile.
Tang Hao displayed a dazed expression, as if he had lost his anchor, while Fran dashed to the commander's desk and grabbed the insignia representing the Beijing commander-in-chief.
At that moment, the old man’s face turned extremely dark. He quickly opened his computer and shouted loudly at it.
“Damn it, old fool, come out! This time we’re finished!”
…
Whether Beijing was done or not, Tang Haofei had no idea.
At this moment, he truly couldn’t comprehend these matters.
Standing on the land of the Demon Realm, sensing the oppression and despair in the air — the omen of impending destruction, he silently watched Bai store away the Rift Device and slowly asked,
“Are you saying I’m running away without a fight?”
Bai chuckled lightly and looked at Tang Haofei, casually commenting,
“You're just being pretentious. If you had Wen Yu’s skills, I bet this question wouldn’t bother you at all.”
Tang Haofei shrugged his shoulders, but his expression didn’t change — he indeed had some unresolved feelings within him.
Until Bai seriously consoled him,
“As long as you're alive, there’s hope. Think about it, those demonic creatures that are about to break through the Demon Realm Gate are doomed — no matter how much damage and chaos they cause on the Layered Battlefield. But you are not doomed; you still have a chance to survive…”
“If you don’t leave, it’s like the spirit of the demon lord using a futile and fatal card to exchange for your support of Earth.”
“Do you think after that, the spirit of the demon lord gains or loses?”
This reasoning was straightforward — given the developments so far, Tang Haofei really had no choice.
He had only one path to take.
Of course, he could console himself that this temporary retreat was for a future counterattack.
Yes, just a form of self-comfort; otherwise, how could Old Tang be so pretentious?
…
After Bai finished comforting him, he paid no attention to Old Tang’s pretentiousness. He simply sensed the surroundings, then exerted his power, easily shattering the barrier between level nine and level ten.
Without the level restraint, advancing as a limit breaker was as simple as eating and drinking.
After doing all this, Bai then rummaged through his Spatial Ring. After a moment, he pulled out a vial containing a potion that glimmered with golden light, the magical liquid inside the test tube emitting a radiant aura.
Even separated by the test tube, Tang Haofei could feel the gradually spreading origin power and couldn’t help but glance over, his eyes fixed on the potion in Bai’s hand, revealing a look of astonishment.
Bai had a means to advance to level eleven — this was definitely a consensus between Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.
This old monster had an incredible number of trump cards, which was truly astonishing.
And the test tube in Bai’s hand was clearly one of his hidden “trump cards” — a vial of super-concentrated origin power elixir…
Of course, only having origin power wouldn’t allow him to reach level eleven — Bai clearly had other means.
However, Tang Haofei didn’t care much about that.
He just listened to Bai say,
“In a while, I will inject the potion into my body, and then I will faint and complete the advancement in an unconscious state. During this time, I will need your care.”
Bai spoke calmly, as if he was certain that Tang Haofei would take good care of him.
After all, the two had communicated a lot during this time, and their cooperation might far exceed Wen Yu’s imagination.
Sure enough, Tang Haofei simply nodded. He watched as Bai injected the potion into his own body, then his expression shifted and he spontaneously broke through the barrier to level ten.
