Under Batman's repeated requests, Zatanna agreed to take him along. However, Superman overheard their conversation and, for Batman's safety, insisted on accompanying them.
Everyone present was well aware of Superman's strength, and with him by their side, Batman's life safety was guaranteed.
However, when the three arrived at the ancient dragon's location through magic, the scene before them left them speechless with shock.
A massive rift had opened in the depths of the universe, constantly expanding. Behind the rift was something colossal and indescribable.
In front of this entity, stars appeared minuscule. The ancient dragon, which had been so imposing moments before, was now held in its grasp like a slippery loach. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape. Ultimately, the indescribable being dragged it to the other side of the rift, and all returned to peace.
Everything happened as quickly as it ended. By the time the three reacted, it was all over.
"The three of you, you saw it."
As the three stood there stunned, a familiar voice reached their ears. They all turned their heads towards the source of the sound. It was Bai Qi, temporarily operating through the body of a Beast Bot.
With matters having reached this point, Bai Qi revealed the truth of the main world and the existence of the void to the three. Coupled with what they had just witnessed, they had no choice but to believe. Finally, Bai Qi extended an olive branch, inviting them to jointly assist Bai Xi and protect the main world together.
Superman harbored no good feelings towards Bai Qi, but upon seeing Bai Xi and recalling her contributions to Earth, he deemed her character worthy of such a crucial role.
Batman had even less to say. In the year he spent learning with Bai Xi in the Batcave, her formidable learning ability had even astonished Batman. Not to mention her seemingly endless lifespan, making her exceptionally suited to be the guardian of the main world.
As for Zatanna, he was merely an added bonus. With the two prominent figures agreeing, who would bother with his opinion?
Incidentally, the reason the three were not corrupted after witnessing the indescribable entity was that Bai Qi had already erected a powerful barrier around Cybertron. While it couldn't completely repel the entity, it at least prevented the three from being corrupted and mutating.
Some might ask how Bai Qi, now devoid of power, managed to summon such a potent being and have it willingly eliminate the ancient dragon for him.
Long ago, Bai Qi had established contact with an indescribable entity in the void through certain forbidden arts. Of course, it was impossible for the entity to help him for free, nor did Bai Qi have the audacity to expect such a favor. He had to offer sufficient benefits to secure its assistance.
Do you recall the purpose for which Bai Qi initially founded the Holy Dragon Church?
It was, of course, to gather more power of faith. However, faith itself had limited use for Bai Qi. Yet, it held an extreme allure for many indescribable entities in the void.
Logically, at their level, it was already exceedingly difficult to enhance their strength through faith, requiring a astronomically large amount. But even so, faith remained a fatal temptation for many powerful beings in the void.
Perhaps it was due to their unique nature that their mere descent, even through an avatar, would corrupt any living being that beheld them into hideous deformities.
Thus, when Bai Qi presented enough faith equivalent to three statues, the void entity decisively agreed. It fulfilled the pact with Bai Qi today, successfully taking away the ancient dragon and ensuring it would never appear in the main world again.
With the ancient dragon gone, the remaining dragons found themselves leaderless. Under the combined assault of Bai Qi's demon army, the cosmic fleet, and the Beast Bots, all the dragons were swiftly annihilated.
Following this incident, Superman and Batman completely aligned themselves with Bai Xi.
With one serving as the intellectual pillar of the Justice League and the other as its powerhouse, their allegiance to Bai Xi meant that other League members had no grounds to object and could only agree.
Another twenty years passed. During this time, individual nations were completely erased, and the Earth Alliance became the sole legitimate global government. Bai Xi, leading her subordinates, repelled numerous external invasions, her popularity soaring. She later established diplomatic relations with several alien civilizations and formed the Galactic Federation, becoming its first president through her appearance, strength, and eloquence.
On one perfectly ordinary day.
Bai Xi was in her presidential office, handling her duties. Suddenly, as if remembering something, her body trembled violently, and she vanished from the office.
The next time Bai Xi reappeared, she was on Cybertron.
Although Cybertron was now a planet of steel, it still exuded an aura of vibrant life. Not long after Bai Xi's arrival, a torrent of energy erupted from Cybertron's core, converging into a single point before exploding outwards, spreading across the entire planet.
Upon sensing this surge of energy, all the Beast Bots on Cybertron halted their movements and let out cries to the sky, a sound akin to a welcoming roar for the return of their Dragon King.
And indeed, this was precisely the case.
After twenty years of slumber, Bai Qi had completed his metamorphosis and was reborn.
As the energy flow gradually dissipated, Bai Qi's figure appeared on the surface of Cybertron.
The moment Bai Qi materialized, Bai Xi, who had been waiting with bated breath, could no longer contain her excitement and rushed towards him.
Bai Qi gently stroked Bai Xi's hair, a long-lost smile gracing his face.
"Bai Xi, my child, I have witnessed all that you have accomplished over these forty years. While not being able to accompany your growth is my greatest regret, seeing your achievements now fills me with immense pride." - Sultan Novel Network
After a brief exchange with Bai Xi, Bai Qi's former subordinates also began to arrive on Cybertron, presenting themselves before him.
Bai Qi had observed their loyalty over the years. Without their diligent assistance, Bai Xi, with her disposition, would undoubtedly not have achieved such remarkable success.
After acknowledging their efforts, Bai Qi dropped another bombshell.
He announced that he would soon depart the main world for the void, entrusting all matters of the main world to Bai Xi.
In other words, after forty years of trials, Bai Xi had earned Bai Qi's recognition through her actions. From this day forward, Bai Qi would hand over the weighty responsibility of safeguarding the main world to Bai Xi.
Regarding Bai Qi's decision, apart from a few trusted subordinates in combat, those with sharp minds like Dao Long, Wu, and Octavian showed no surprise.
