After the fireworks display and dance, white clouds drifted out of the palace and flew away, with small white snowflakes falling as they flew.
"This is……"
Many people are watching with curiosity.
When the snowflakes drifted down, they saw them take root in the ground like seeds, sprout and grow into all sorts of plants.
These plants, whether flowering or bearing fruit, all exude an alluring fragrance.
"A white feast".
"A white feast, let's revel, let's revel!"
"Welcome to the White Feast."
These white clouds have human-like expressions, beaming with joy.
The visitors were initially hesitant and reserved, but when they saw the island's residents happily munching on the flowers and fruits with joyful smiles, they also tried picking some.
"good to eat!"
"I've eaten so many delicious foods, but I never expected to taste something so unexpected."
"Truly...amazing."
More importantly, their nerves gradually relaxed, because at first they all thought that Disaster Island was a terrifying place, perhaps even hell.
They just didn't expect that the scene they saw when they first landed would continue to refresh their impression of the disaster island.
Perhaps, to the outside world, Disaster Island is Disaster Island, but to its own people, it might be Paradise Island.
Before the contents of the white plant were even finished being harvested and eaten, various kinds of birds flew out of the palace. Strangely, these birds did not make the usual bird calls; instead, they all emitted festive music.
Moreover, after this music was played, everyone within the music's influence felt some indescribable changes occurring in their bodies, bringing them indescribable benefits.
After the birds left, a group of strange animals dressed like circus performers emerged from the palace gates, blowing trumpets and beating drums, marching out in a seemingly disordered yet rhythmic manner.
In the sky and on the ground, Li Wei's creations were all calling out in unison.
"Welcome to……"
"Welcome to—"
"Disaster Island!"
"A paradise for living beings!"
"Heaven!"
"here it is--"
Paradise Island!
……
Just after these shouts subsided, the pirate flag atop the palace roared loudly.
"The banquet begins!"
A unified cheer resounded throughout the entire Disaster Island.
Little figures carrying baskets distribute different pastries, and various delicious flower petals float in the air, filling the surroundings with exotic fragrances.
Only at this moment did they realize that this was a banquet, not a trap.
Caught up in the atmosphere, the visiting guests joined in the fun, enjoying games they'd never heard of before and delicacies unlike anything they'd ever tasted before...
It was a lively banquet.
Li Wei, along with Yuzuriha Inori, Luo Meier, Vivi, and the rest of the Samsara Academy, stood on the palace balcony, with Li Wei at the head.
Of course, Yang Qianqian was secretly eating the flower petals that drifted down behind Li Wei's back, and she even instructed Liu Yiqiang to help her snatch more.
Seeing this, Luo Meier also joined the army of people scrambling to eat.
These days together have made Luo Meier and Yang Qianqian very close. Like dry tinder and a raging fire, the two found themselves to be incredibly compatible. Whether it was their values, their opinions on certain issues, or their hobbies, they were all very compatible. Of course, what they agreed on the most was their attitude towards Li Wei.
Li Wei is a complete scoundrel and a total jerk.
In a short period of time, Luo Meier and Yang Qianqian have already shown signs of becoming best friends, and they are discussing how to stay in touch after the celebration ends.
"quiet!"
After seeing Li Wei emerge, the flags on the palace suddenly shouted again. The original procedure was to wait for Li Wei, the person in charge, to finish speaking before the banquet could begin.
But here, the process is reversed.
There was no other reason than that since it was a banquet, Li Wei didn't want to make it so serious. He waited until everyone was in a good mood before coming out.
"Lord Natural Disaster has spoken; no noise is allowed!"
The pirate flag rang loudly, and upon hearing it, everyone, including all creations, stopped all movement and speech, silently watching Li Wei and his group on the palace balcony.
"Is this Li Wei, the natural disaster victim? He's even more handsome in person than in the wanted poster and news photos."
"What a perfect face!"
"His demeanor is impeccable; this is the king at the pinnacle of the pirate world."
Not to mention that most women swoon over Li Wei, even some men were momentarily captivated by his good looks.
Under Yang Qianqian's insistence, Li Wei had no choice but to say goodbye to his messy hair once again, revealing his true colors and his overly handsome appearance.
"This is Disaster Island. I don't want to say anything more. I don't want anyone to cause trouble at the banquet these next few days."
Li Wei said meaningfully, "To those who have ulterior motives, I suggest you postpone your plans for a few days, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable."
"This is a party to celebrate my friend's birthday, and I don't want anything unpleasant to happen."
Just as Li Wei was about to say something, another loud bang occurred. Everyone thought it was a new performance prepared by the Disaster Island, but...
As day turned into night, countless stars shone brightly in the sky, maintaining a high level of visibility even without sunlight.
Under a bright beam of light emanating from the moon and condensed into a pillar shape, a figure stood in the void.
This was a handsome man with a white robe, long flowing hair, and a slender figure. Under the starlight, he possessed a unique and otherworldly charm.
Soon someone recognized his true identity.
"This is... bounty hunter Tianchen Xingyu!?"
"So what he said was true; he really did storm the Disaster Island during the banquet."
"Li Wei, the calamity-stricken man, and Tianchen Xingyu...?"
Upon seeing Tianchen Xingyu's appearance, they all sensed that a fierce battle was about to begin. Some were looking forward to seeing their duel and were curious about who would win, but many more were terrified because both of them were super strong individuals who could easily defeat the Four Emperors. Their battle would mean causing immense destruction, and staying near their battlefield would easily result in being caught in the crossfire.
"Are you Li Wei, the natural disaster?" Xingyu asked condescendingly.
PAS: Oh no, failed my overtime attempt. This afternoon I went out to help my grandparents with their savings account and had a meal at their house. Tomorrow I have to get the TV fixed... The strange TV has no sound when I turn it on, and it only starts working after an hour...
Chapter 428 A Thousand Stars Pay Homage
Although Tianchen Xingyu's words appeared to be a question, he actually recognized who Li Wei was. This question was merely a preemptive strike, a condescending statement.
Actually, when he saw Li Wei, he was a little surprised and dazed, because Li Wei looked so much like his current BOSS, Lord Wuxiang. It could be said that their appearances were almost identical, both so perfect that it was unbelievable.
Unlike Wuxiang, Li Wei's temperament is not so otherworldly and refined. Li Wei is more inclined to be wild and mad, with a touch of coldness and unruliness.
Wuxiang means indifference, as if the mundane world is nothing more than this in one's eyes, and there is nothing to care about.
Xingyu didn't know why they were so similar. Perhaps it was because the further they went on the path of evolution, the more similar they might become in appearance.
This was Xingyu's guess, so while he appeared to be indifferent to Li Wei, he was secretly on high alert, making thorough preparations and never letting his guard down.
If Xingyu hadn't received certain techniques from Wuxiang, he might not have been confident enough to defeat Li Wei, because just from Li Wei's appearance, Xingyu could tell how superior Li Wei's talent was.
Of course, it's not that the more beautiful someone is, the more talented they are. There's a science behind this, and most people, or even the vast majority of powerful groups, don't have that kind of knowledge.
Xingyu's ability to make this judgment is entirely due to the teachings and guidance he received from Wuxiang during his daily life.
Although he knew that this was just an unintentional act for Wuxiang, something he did on a whim, or even something to pass the time, in Xingyu's heart, Wuxiang was like a second teacher to him. Unlike his previous betrayals of the Samsara Academy and his teacher, the Queen of Slaughter, Xingyu truly admired and respected Wuxiang.
A man who truly impressed him.
Just after Xingyu asked that question, a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind.
“I told you, I don’t like people causing trouble these days,” Li Wei said coldly.
For some reason, Li Wei's personality has been fluctuating more and more recently. Everyone around him can clearly feel this. Li Wei has been cold and indifferent in battle before, but it is rare to see him fluctuate so much and change so frequently now.
Luo Meier, in particular, noticed that this change in Li Wei became even more pronounced after the battle with the so-called inheritor and his group.
In that battle, Li Wei recovered a wisp of energy from the past.
“As I said, I will visit Disaster Island during the banquet,” Xingyu replied without any fear of Li Wei.
"Oh? And what about your offerings?"
"Tribute? I haven't heard that tone in a long time." Xingyu chuckled softly.
“If I remember correctly, you were once the Queen’s disciple.” Li Wei suddenly changed the subject.
"Queen? You mean that Killing Queen from the Samsara Academy?" Xingyu said casually, "That piece of trash?"
“I admit that I was too young before and actually took such an incompetent person as my teacher, but she is not now. Even so, she is still a stain on my life and a disgrace.”
"I heard you've become her new disciple?"
Xingyu didn't belittle Li Wei, but honestly said, "Excuse me for being blunt, but she is not worthy of your talent at all."
"Why should you confine yourself to that wretched place, the Samsara Academy? If you're only here because of its legends and reputation, I advise you to leave. You're always welcome here."
“That rural place is not worth you. You may not know it now, but when you discover the truth, you will understand what a colossal lie the Samsara Academy has told you and the entire Samsara Great World.”
Clearly, Xingyu's sudden betrayal had a reason, and what he said today was probably the reason for his departure from the Samsara Academy.
Xingyu has learned a crucial secret about the Samsara Academy!
Li Wei smiled.
"What you call the vastness of the world is actually such a tiny place?"
"In my opinion, the world... is all the same size."
Li Wei said calmly.
Xingyu initially felt a bit disgusted when he saw Li Wei smile, but he was stunned after hearing Li Wei's last sentence.
Because he remembered some things Wuxiang had said before.
"You think the sky is bigger than the earth, what's the difference between that and a frog jumping out of a well and falling into a pond?"
"Looking at the world, the bottom of a well and a pond are equally insignificant."
"Looking at the vast universe, even a single heaven and earth is but a speck of dust."
Wu Xiang's words were more elaborate and subtle, but if translated directly... they were quite similar to what Li Wei said, or even more so.
In fact, heaven and earth are equally large, and the world is equally small.
Those who hold this view do so from a perspective outside the cycle of reincarnation.
In their eyes, power has no distinction of rank, the world has no distinction of size, and living beings have no distinction of lowliness; they are all the same.
Because from their perspective, that's all there is to it, like how humans perceive the size of ants and mosquitoes.
When ordinary people say such things, it can only be described as arrogance and ignorance of one's own limitations.
When Wuxiang said this, Xingyu felt it was perfectly natural.
Xingyu didn't even realize that what Li Wei said was inappropriate.
He named himself Xingyu, meaning the stars and the universe, and that he had control over all things in the heavens.
But Xingyu believed that they were completely detached from all of this.
For a moment, Xingyu felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of Li Wei.
so similar!
He looks so much like Lord Wuxiang!
Suppressing his inner impulse, Xingyu thought of what Professor Wuxiang had said and regained his composure.
No.
