Upon hearing the patriarch's words, Bai Qiuluo's expression changed, her beautiful eyes reflecting a complex mix of emotions—confusion, fear, and a deep sadness.

To them, a mere fallen leaf from a truly powerful upper ranker was as heavy as Mount Tai, and all they could do was flee.

The Taishang Immortal Realm they once took pride in had crumbled and was now on the verge of collapse in just a mere thousand years.

What a vast disparity.

.....

"Patriarch, we... are leaving now..."

Bai Qiuluo said softly, looking at the elder's back.

Even the mighty Bai Family could only escape at this moment. However, in one respect, the Bai Family was indeed fortunate. At least they could still flee Taishang, while other Holy Land Immortal Sects and elite families could only hold on bitterly, awaiting judgment...

"Go now."

"The Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm is much stronger than the Taishang Immortal Realm. It is an exceedingly ancient Upper-Rank Immortal Realm, so don't be too pessimistic..."

"Perhaps, when our Bai Family reaches the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, we will experience better development, becoming stronger and more glorious than ever before."

"Therefore, while this is a disaster for our Bai Family, it could also serve as a turning point for our rebirth."

The elder looked at the sky that continued to fall apart, his face full of wrinkles like ravines when he smiled—it was an ugly smile, but his heart was filled with hope.

Thankfully, thankfully, the backhand he left behind once helped the Bai Family find a slim chance of survival. Even if he fell into reincarnation, when meeting with the ancestors, he wouldn't be scolded harshly by them.

People always seek hope in despair; the elder does so, and so does Bai Qiuluo.

.....

"Are the people chosen to go to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm ready?"

The elder asked slowly.

Hearing this, Bai Qiuluo nodded and said, "Only three thousand people can leave this time, but I spent two thousand years selecting these people—they are the most promising and talented young individuals."

At this point, Bai Qiuluo still voiced her concern, "Patriarch, are we really only taking young people... There are many elders in the clan, who are the backbone and mainstay; why not take them as well?"

After the words fell, the elder looked to the sky and, after a long silence, slowly said:

"They are all old fellows, with not many years left."

"Their feelings should be like mine; they all wish to stay in Taishang and fight to the last moment."

"These old guys, to put it bluntly, are stubborn; to put it nicely... they are nostalgic and unwilling to leave this ancestral land of Taishang."

"Moreover, the younger generation is the hope for the Bai Family."

"You might also be puzzled as to why I only want you to select talented youngsters to leave..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoqiu also showed a serious expression.

Because she never understood the patriarch's arrangement.

While the young in the clan have talent, they need time to grow. Currently, they are still very weak. Going to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, a strange and powerful place—without strong guardians, how can one speak of rebuilding the Bai Family?

The patriarch slowly turned around, looking at Bai Qiuluo, with a flash of resolute Immortal Light in his cloudy eyes.

"Xiaoluo, you might not understand the strength of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."

"Even if we brought those old fellows to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, it would be impossible to rebuild the Bai Family in a short time."

"You must remember this."

"Once you reach the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, disperse them all."

Hearing this, Bai Luoqiu showed a surprised expression and asked, "Patriarch... why disperse them? Aren't we going to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm to continue and rebuild the Bai Family?"

....

"Establishing a foothold, a Dao Lineage, a family in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm is not as easy as you imagine."

"The stronger the Immortal Realm, the more brutal the competition. I know your thoughts. You plan to immediately rebuild the Bai Family after reaching the Ancient Wilderness, then slowly develop from a small family."

"I'm telling you, this is not possible."

"There are too many powerful forces in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm. Once you establish a Dao Lineage, it means you are participating in the competition for karmic fortune of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm. The powerful forces won't give you a chance to develop; you might establish the Bai Family this month, only for it to be annihilated the next."

At this point, the elder paused.

He continued, "My intention in having you disperse them is to let them each join the powerful Sects in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm for cultivation, to make rational use of the resources there, and to develop separately."

"You also must strive to join the top Immortal Sects of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm. When you have cultivated to a certain extent and have the strength to support the Bai Family, you can then gather the dispersed disciples and rebuild the Bai Family."

.....

At this moment, Bai Qiuluo noticed a problem and asked, "What if they are unwilling to return to the Bai Family..."

Upon hearing this, the patriarch smiled gently and said slowly, "That's why I prioritized personality assessments over talent in the selection process."

"If they truly do not wish to return to rebuild the Bai Family... then it means that heaven wants the Bai Family to perish, and so it should."

After hearing these words, Bai Luoqiu's beautiful eyes paused, looking into the patriarch's calm pupils. At this moment, she finally understood why the elders always said that the patriarch was the true protector of the Bai Family.

"Alright, go now."

With these words, the elder turned around, gazing at the horizon, lost in thought....

Looking at the patriarch's back, Bai Qiuluo bowed deeply, a newfound determination in her eyes.

To prevent the Bai Family's tragedy from repeating, she would exert herself tirelessly, aggressively, to rebuild the Bai Family's glory in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm!

.....

At this moment, no one noticed.

A wooden boat flew out from a certain mountain range in the Taishang Immortal Realm, plunging into the void, heading towards another world....

....

Meanwhile, in the northern main battlefield of the Taishang Immortal Realm, the ground was cracked, bodies piled high, and blood soaked the earth.

The only sounds were the clashing of weapons, alternating Immortal Light, and shrill cries from the Holy Beasts....

At this moment, atop an ancient city, a tall, middle-aged man bedecked in Golden Dragon Scale Armor stood beside the "Taishang" World Chess, gazing at the battlefield ahead, his pupils filled with endless Immortal Light, amidst ruin and Nirvana....

"Good news!"

A Silver Armor General arrived on the walls of Beihui City, excitedly speaking to the towering man, "Master Realm Master, our northern main battlefield has won a great victory!"

"The main forces of the enemy have been encircled by our troops in the Kuyuan Mountain Range!"

Hearing this, the towering man's furrowed brows relaxed slightly....

"A bunch of insects dare challenge Taishang."

The towering man's name was Lin Changdong, one of the Four Great Realm Masters of Taishang, standing at the pinnacle of Taishang's hierarchy, and also serving as the supreme command marshal of the northern main battlefield.

As the words were just spoken.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Lin Changdong quickly looked up, finding that somehow, dark clouds had covered the area.

In the next moment, a massive figure emerged from the dark clouds, heading towards them.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was a figure standing on that massive body.

Seeing this, Lin Changdong waved his large hand, and a silver spear appeared in his hand, his eyes fixed on the sky above.
