Chapter 18 Bai E, you will become the hero who saves the world!
The text on the sky disappeared, and what followed was a visual image.
"They've finally arrived, the strongest in the world."
"Do you think he might be one of those gods, with wings!"
"How is that possible? He should be human. Didn't Tianmu say so?"
"That could also be a soul beast."
......
"Karslana, who exactly are you?!"
"They didn't find a trace of it even under their own eyes."
All the powerful figures across the Douluo Continent were intently watching the sky.
From a distant village, a sorrowful secret.
"Aili Mixie? Never heard of that place..."
"Look! It's an image! The backdrop is starting to show his past!"
The scene depicts a tranquil village nestled amidst green hills and clear waters, a place as serene as a paradise.
The sun was shining brightly, and the fields were neatly arranged.
Immediately afterwards, the figure of a child appeared in the center of the screen.
He was dressed in clean, coarse cloth clothes, and his hair was an unusual silver-white that shimmered with a soft luster in the sunlight.
What's most striking are his blue eyes, as clear as the sky after rain.
His face was beaming with a bright, untroubled smile.
They were chasing a butterfly across the fields, their laughter ringing out.
"Is this 'Karslana'?"
White Calamity?!
"Are you kidding me! A child?!"
"So...so cute..."
"That smile is so heartwarming!"
The audience across the entire mainland was momentarily stunned.
This stark contrast is hard to accept at first.
Inside the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's brows were furrowed, and Qian Daoliu looked extremely puzzled.
In the Starry Sky Forest, Di Tianlong's eyes were filled with astonishment.
On Poseidon Island, Poseidon and Tang Chen looked at each other in bewilderment.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi's teacup stopped in mid-air.
"Could this be his childhood?" Qian Daoliu pondered, trying to understand.
"Even in childhood, would such a being, reincarnated, behave so ordinarily?" Bibi Dong's tone was full of doubt, but her gaze was drawn to the child's pure smile.
Shrek Academy.
"Wow! Was Senior Bai E this cute when he was little?" Ning Rongrong was instantly captivated by his girlish heart.
Xiao Wu stared blankly, recalling the weariness and alienation in the man's eyes when they met in the forest.
Comparing this to my sunny childhood, a bittersweet feeling washes over me.
What exactly did he go through to change from that smile to his current appearance?
Just as everyone was beginning to relax a little because of this heartwarming childhood scene.
"Little White, are you working on your 'secret weapon' again?"
A gentle female voice came.
The camera pans to the person speaking.
She was a woman dressed in a simple linen dress, and she had pink hair.
She carried a basket of freshly washed berries and sat down next to Bai Er.
Bai E raised her head, a bright smile immediately spreading across her face: "Sister Xi Lian! Look, I'm sure I can do it even better today than yesterday!"
Xi Lian took the grasshopper, examined it carefully, and smiled gently in her eyes: "Hmm, the curve of the wings is even better. Our little Bai'e's hands are getting more and more skillful."
She gently stroked Bai E's hair, her voice soft yet carrying a strange certainty: "However, I believe that you will definitely use these skillful hands to do even more remarkable things in the future."
Bai E blinked and asked curiously, "What's the big deal? Like Grandpa Village Chief said, going to the city to become the best craftsman?"
Xi Lian shook her head, her gaze seemingly looking through him toward the distant future.
She gently held Bai'er's small hand, her voice clear and calm:
"No. Little Whitey, you will become a hero who saves the world."
Under the vast sky, people from all over the continent watched this heartwarming scene, and many couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"A savior... This sister has really high expectations for him."
"The children are so cute, and the older sister is so gentle! This village is like a paradise!"
"So the strongest person really came from such an ordinary and warm place? That's so inspiring!"
At this moment, almost all the viewers were filled with a wonderful feeling, as if they were watching a heartwarming fable about the childhood of a genius.
In the scene, Bai E tilted his head slightly upon hearing this, his face showing some confusion, but mostly happiness at being trusted. He nodded vigorously.
"Yes! If I can do it, I will definitely protect everyone, protect Sister Xilian and the village!"
The sunlight in the sky suddenly disappeared!
The scene was swallowed by a thick, writhing, ominous darkness!
The Kuroshio Current is coming.
A low, somber narration began, seemingly carrying an endless stench of blood.
The tranquil village was swallowed up by an endless black fog; houses collapsed and fields decayed.
Even more terrifying, the villagers, livestock, and even the flowers, trees and plants in the village were twisted and mutated in the black tide, turning into howling, mindless monsters!
The silver-haired child who was laughing and running in the sunlight just moments before is now isolated amidst the ruins, his small figure facing the darkness that sweeps across the world and the terrifying monsters swarming in.
The smile on his face had vanished, leaving only a pale face and blue eyes filled with shock and fear.
"No... how could this happen?!"
"My God! What kind of disaster is this?!"
"Those monsters... Soul Beasts?"
No, it doesn't! It's depravity! It's corruption!
Countless exclamations arose across the mainland.
The hellish scene before my eyes, so starkly contrasted with the idyllic sunshine of just seconds before, was so intense it made my heart clench.
Little Bai E, who was holding a knife tightly in his hand, stood staggering among the rubble.
His face was covered in dirt and tears, and his once bright blue eyes were now filled with immense horror and confusion as he stared at the "thing" slowly emerging from the thick black tide.
Just then, from the depths of the black tide in the scene, came a voice composed of twisted, painful howls, piercing the sky and resonating deep within the souls of every viewer:
"Bai'er, don't you remember me?"
"Aren't we friends?"
"ah--!!!"
He let out a piercing scream, a mixture of endless sorrow, anger, and despair.
With all his might, he closed his eyes and swung the heavy knife in his hand fiercely towards that once so familiar face!
The result of the slash was not directly shown on screen.
Only a single arc of light, a mixture of silver and black blood, flashed by.
Immediately following was a long, agonizing scream from the sky, a scream that seemed to tear the soul apart, a scream belonging to a child:
"Aa ...
This sound sent shivers down the spines of all the powerful figures, making their scalps tingle!
The scene freezes here.
What finally solidified was the boundless despair and emptiness in the child's eyes before the light was completely extinguished.
As darkness slowly descended, a new line of text appeared:
The path to salvation begins in annihilation. The weight of heroism stems from unbearable loss.
The entire continent was deathly silent.
All the previous warmth was shattered, leaving only a biting chill and grief.
Bibi Dong's fingers dug deeply into her palms, as if she were seeing a similar night when she had lost everything.
At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu was in tears, and Ning Rongrong was sobbing on Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder.
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply. The words "You will become a hero who saves the world" and the ensuing destruction filled him with a suffocating sense of the weight of fate.
