Bai Ye let the little rice ball and Yin go about their own affairs, and went to the main hall alone to meet Saiton.
"Draemon Saiton." Saiton introduced himself. "Leader of the Tomorrow Cult."
"Bai Ye."
Seeing that Bai Ye was somewhat wary of him, Saiton chuckled, "I have another identity, which you should find more interesting."
"I am the guardian of DeWolf World, which you Blue Star refers to as the channel world."
Saiton's words indeed revealed a flicker of interest in Bai Ye's eyes. "I didn't expect you to have been lurking in the Tites World for so long." Bai Ye retorted, "The DeWolf World is now broken and dilapidated. The dwarves are enslaved and slaughtered by the demons, like livestock penned in. As the guardian of the world, do you know about this?"
Saiton, who had always been calm and composed, showed a flicker of emotion in his eyes, then sighed, "The situation in DeWolf World is different from that of Blue Star. The demon invasion lasted for hundreds of years. I only awakened after they had completely taken control of DeWolf World. By then, Emperor-level powerhouses could freely enter and exit the world. For DeWolf World to continue to exist, I had no choice but to lie low."
Awakening? A system? Bai Ye suspected that he might also have something similar to his system.
"This was also a last resort. As you know, once we die, the entire world will perish. The Sophyta World no longer has any living beings, and its world will has also disappeared."
As he spoke, Saiton's eyes flashed with coldness. "My people were enslaved and slaughtered. I have not forgotten. Every drop of their blood makes me angrier. I cannot go on a rampage like you. The barrier of Blue Star is still there, and you have no worries. But if I appear, my people will only face greater disaster."
"The enemy we face is unprecedentedly terrifying!"
"So, I have been waiting for you."
"Our enemy?" Bai Ye asked knowingly. "Are we friends?"
Saiton said, "Although DeWolf World is now occupied by your Blue Star, my people are all free. You liberated them, and our friendship was forged from that moment."
"I have come to you this time to propose an alliance between DeWolf World and Blue Star, to jointly eliminate the one who caused all these calamities."
"Who?" Bai Ye asked, feigning ignorance.
"The oldest Emperor of the Elves, Manjushaka."
Manjushaka… Bai Ye's mind flashed to the Manjushaka princess who had intruded into Blue Star and been suppressed by him. Princess Manjushaka's strength was formidable, unmatched among those of the same level! If she hadn't encountered him, Blue Star would likely have fallen during that invasion.
Saiton continued, "We are both well aware of our respective strengths, but that fellow's power is far beyond ours. Another world guardian has already died at his hands. Sophyta, by then, he had already grown stronger, but still fell in battle."
"Even the guardian of this world, whom you know, Hou Ying, had to flee her own world. They, the demons, were instigated by the Elf Emperor, who called him something like the Cang Mao clan. In reality, it's just that fellow reappearing under a different identity each time."
"To defeat him, we can only hope if the three of us unite."
Bai Ye pondered for a moment and nodded. "Agreed. Blue Star and DeWolf World, represented by the two of us today, form a formal alliance. The alliance will not dissolve until the source of disaster is eliminated."
"Well said!" Saiton laughed heartily. "To celebrate the establishment of our alliance, I will give you two things: a piece of news and a batch of reinforcements."
"For this news, you need to be mentally prepared. It's about your grandfather."
Bai Ye's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Tell me."
"I believe you must have met him after coming to Tites World. Let me ask, did he make a move against you?"
Bai Ye stared at Saiton for a few seconds before replying, "No."
Saiton looked somewhat surprised. "I was pursued by him... his strength is not to be underestimated. Given human physical qualities, it's impossible to reach such a level."
"I have only one guess: your grandfather, unless something unexpected happened, is a clone of that fellow."
Boom! Bai Ye's mind exploded. Saiton's words sounded somewhat far-fetched, even utterly absurd. But as Bai Ye connected all the events, the old man suddenly became filled with suspicion everywhere.
"He didn't attack you, likely because he wasn't confident in killing you, so... I advise you to be careful."
Whoosh!! Suddenly, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Bai Ye, and his gaze towards Saiton turned icy.
Saiton did smile. "I know it's hard for you to believe, nor do you want to suspect him. After all, he raised you, he is your only relative. However, Hou Ying has deep feelings about this. You can ask him when you meet him later."
"Hou Ying." Bai Ye pondered for a moment and slowly retracted his killing intent. "What about the reinforcements?"
Saiton smiled mysteriously. "When the demons are at the city gates and the war is about to break out, you will naturally see them. I believe it will be a surprise for you. This is also one of the important achievements of my prolonged lurking in the Tites World."
"Good!"
Two days later, the three demon armies of the Tites World, vast and mighty like an ocean, besieged the imperial capital of the Rex Empire. They were densely packed, darkening the surrounding sky.
