Upon hearing the words "Heart of the World," Tang Haofei was instantly stunned. He glanced at Bai, whose expression was gradually turning awkward, and then looked at Victor, who seemed relaxed and unconcerned. Unable to help himself, he spread his senses and reached underground.
Though this planet was vast, Tang Haofei's perception range was even wider! Almost in an instant, he saw the Heart of the World of this realm.
It was complete and unblemished... yet its perimeter was covered with complex runes.
The energy fluctuations emitted by these runes were extremely low, which was why Tang Haofei initially didn't notice anything unusual.
“This…”
Tang Haofei immediately gasped, scratching the back of his head as he looked at Bai and asked with a displeased tone, “You little rascal, did you deceive me again?”
“How can this be called deception! What I said is all true; I just left out some details,” Bai shamelessly defended himself after his little actions were exposed. But ironically…
What he said wasn't incorrect…
Tang Haofei was momentarily at a loss for words, while Victor yawned.
“Leaving half unsaid is really your style, Bai. No wonder you didn’t want us to come looking for you; turns out you’re having a good time here.”
“He's eating just like us, not any better,” Tang Haofei corrected Victor’s misstatement, only to see Victor slap his own forehead.
“You idiot! Anyone with a brain can tell what this kid wants to do! He simply wants to devour the Heart of the World, extracting its internal origin power for his own use!”
Upon hearing Victor's explanation, Old Tang suddenly understood. He looked at Bai with a peculiar gaze and said softly, “I didn’t know you had this trick up your sleeve.”
“There are many things you don’t know…”
Bai silently complained, but his gaze was fixed on Victor. By now, Bai had realized that in this duo of a person and a cat, the one in charge was undoubtedly Victor.
Until Victor stood up from Tang Haofei’s shoulder, shook his dark fur, squinted his eyes, and extended his hand, speaking to Bai in a deliberate manner.
“You understand the principle of splitting things in half, right? I don’t want half; let’s split it into thirds for the three of us.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Haofei clapped his hands and laughed like a two-hundred-pound child.
“Excellent, excellent! Everyone gets a share!”
……
“MMP……”
Watching the enthusiastic negotiation over the division of origin power between Tang Haofei and Victor, Bai couldn’t even muster a curse.
His face flushed red, his gaze hostile towards the two robbers, but after considering the comparison of his strength to Tang Haofei’s, Bai sighed and reluctantly nodded.
Looks like I’m being generous…
However, just at that moment, Victor suddenly turned to Bai with a glimmer in his eyes, making Bai's scalp tingle, before he spoke again.
“Don’t feel reluctant; if Tang Haofei doesn’t understand what you are, I certainly do.”
“Just a clone. This planet is likely just one of the many you found. We only need two-thirds of the Earth's core origin of one planet; that’s already quite generous to you.”
After saying this, Victor leaped onto Bai's shoulder.
“I don’t care how much you’ve gained elsewhere, but you must give us a share of the benefits here, even if it’s just a hush fee. How about it? My request isn’t unreasonable, right?”
Upon hearing Victor’s words, Bai changed his attitude from earlier annoyance; he smiled at Victor and Tang Haofei and slowly extended his right hand.
“Then it’s settled!”
“It’s settled!”
Only Tang Haofei looked foolishly at Bai, seemingly not understanding what the so-called “clone” meant.
……
Bai had only one skill.
Five Flower Cave Heaven!
Using the five organs as the divine repository, it turned into a seal, absorbing five strongmen and borrowing their power!
This skill was undeniably powerful, with great potential for growth and numerous variations. Besides the inheritance Bai obtained from the Immortal Heroic World, the Five Flower Cave Heaven was also one of the reasons Bai had so many means.
