A rare magical miracle in the world

```

"Not enough," Bailuo said, "If this knife were just a bit longer, I'd really want to chop you down."

"..."

Bailuo looked down upon Old Luwei, who knelt on the beach, "What do you consider your children to be? Tools? Or weapons?"

"You say they bring shame upon you."

"But what just happened," Bailuo asked, "who brought shame upon whom?"

"You call me a king; have you ever been a king?"

Bailuo raised his head. The clouds in the sky dispersed under his gaze, and streaks of light descended from the horizon, "I am the King. My words, and the actions I take, are those of a King!"

The Black Leather Book tasked Bailuo with killing Old Luwei.

Because only with Old Luwei's death, could The Lu Wei Family genuinely cut off all affection and loyalty, then like cold, emotionless robots, execute Bailuo's missions and commands perfectly.

Even if it meant killing defenseless women and children, they would not frown or doubt.

Bailuo was indifferent towards the changes in character of the Ancient Chronicles' five great Clans.

He did not dislike miracles that obeyed absolutely.

But what Bailuo could not accept was the premise that awakening this miracle required the death of Long Guixiang.

How was this different from feeding Lyon to the Greedy World Wolf?

Just because the Black Leather Book said to kill a person to awaken a miracle, Bailuo had to kill and feel justified doing it; what would that make him?

A puppet of the Black Leather Book?

A lapdog licking up miracles?

Or a slave to power?

"I control miracles; miracles do not control me."

No matter when or where, this was something Bailuo would never forget, "If the requirement is such that only by killing you can the miracle be awakened, making them the Miracle Clan, then my answer is..."

Bailuo turned around to look at the Ghost Princess, Asura, Yellow Spring, Rakshasa, and Yaksha.

"Do I lack one, just a middle-ranking miracle?!"

Bailuo's voice echoed in every member of The Lu Wei Family's ears like thunder, shaking their hearts, "Such a miracle, I'd rather be without!"

Having made up his mind, Bailuo chose to wield his blade.

He struck Old Luwei, but the blade he used carried the force of life that could heal wounds.

Yes, Bailuo used Miracle Power.

Having made his decision, he would not regret it.

'I do not want this miracle!'

This was Bailuo's stance, and even if it cost him effort to fight The Lu Wei Family, to make him betray his conscience and bottom line for this.

What kind of King was that?

"..."

Ghost Princess looked at Bailuo, never imagining that someone in this world could resist the temptation of miracles.

Even when it was within reach, he still chose to walk away.

What is a King?

Is it mercy, brutality, extraordinary talent, or the ability to lead people through all adversities?

Previously, Ghost Princess did not know the nature of a King, and she still does not know now.

But one thing Ghost Princess was sure about was that she liked Bailuo.

Not the affection between a man and a woman, but the way Bailuo carried himself now, his attitude, evoked her sincere admiration and respect.

Compared to his earlier display of power, the words Bailuo spoke now truly resonated with Ghost Princess and the others.

"Thank you."

Ghost Princess bowed her head. She did not want to say much, but this simple act of deference represented her attitude towards Bailuo.

"You are the true King."

The second to speak was Asura, who was subdued by Bailuo's power and impressed by his broad-mindedness and courage.

At the same time, Asura was thankful that he spared Old Luwei and preserved their family.

Like Ghost Princess, Asura preferred a King like this.

If he could fight under such a King's leadership, Asura would not hesitate to say, 'Even in death, no regrets!'

"Are you truly willing to give up the miracle?"

Yellow Spring boldly asked, to which Bailuo smiled and counter-asked, "Can't bear to lose the power?"

"No."

Yellow Spring shook his head, "If the power requires exchanging it for my grandfather's life, then I'd rather not have such a thing."

Yellow Spring would not regret it, even if she never became a miracle in her life; she would not regret today.

"I ask you."

Bailuo continued, "Without miracles, are you still The Lu Wei Family; can you still fight for me?"

"Of course!"

Yellow Spring's answer was unequivocal, "I will show you that we, The Lu Wei Family, don't need miracles at all; even without them, we will be your pride!"

```

Having spoken, Huangquan no longer hesitated and wholeheartedly submitted before Bailuo.

"Hehe."

Rakshasa raised his head, wiping the sand from his face, revealing a Smiling Face.

The youth said nothing, for there was nothing to be said.

"Thump!"

Bowing his head once more, Rakshasa knocked his forehead to the ground, everything understood without words.

Lastly, it was Yaksha's turn.

The girl had been crying hard earlier, and was still sniffing now.

Looking at the petite young girl, who was around the same age as Inya, Bailuo felt somewhat reluctant, given that he had just played the role of a villain for the sake of the Black Leather Book's mission.

"Would you like something to eat?"

Bailuo squatted in front of the young girl, stroked her hair, then pulled out a pineapple bun filled with cream, "This is a specialty delicacy from our Yadun, would you like to try it?"

This was the real Bailuo, completely different from the cold pride he'd shown before.

"Were you just pretending to be so fierce before?"

"Um..."

Bailuo gave a slight smile, "Did it seem like that?"

"I was scared to death!"

"Hahaha."

Bailuo thought Yaksha would definitely get along well with Inya and Xiao Bai. Seeing the girl with cream all around her mouth, Bailuo knew he no longer needed to ask for her thoughts.

With that, the entire Lu Wei family had sincerely submitted, both in heart and in voice.

"No, there is still one more."

Bailuo looked towards Old Luwei, and this time, his demeanor was not as gentle as it had been with the rest of the Lu Wei family, "Did you hear their voices?"

"I know. You actually understand," said Bailuo, "In order for them to live better and go further, you chose to sacrifice yourself to empower them."

"But is such empowerment truly an achievement?"

"Stripping away humanity, causing oneself to no longer resemble oneself," Bailuo continued, "What I wanted was never weapons, but companions who could fight alongside me and family members who could shield me from the elements."

A great influx of life force surged, instantly healing Old Luwei's body; such healing didn't require loyalty to Bailuo—it was something he could offer to anyone.

In just over 10 seconds, Old Luwei's injuries were fully healed, except for the scars on his back.

"A disciple of Saros..."

Old Luwei remarked, "Truly, a thorough defeat."

He didn't mind the scars on his back; they weren't a humiliation but rather a caution from Bailuo.

This cut, it brought back many memories for Old Luwei.

"So, what are you waiting for?"

Bailuo shifted his consciousness to the Black Leather Book and saw that the contents of the ninth page had changed.

"!!!"

At that moment, Old Luwei suddenly felt something.

It was a connection—vague and elusive, yet incredibly real.

"Old man..."

Old Luwei had thought that only his children were of the Miracle Clan, "Is that so? It turns out this way."

"Dawn and Dusk, Ancient Chronicles, Miracle Clan..."

A torrent of information flooded into the minds of Old Luwei and the entire Lu Wei family; simultaneously, beams of light soared into the sky, coloring the whole world in the hue of the high heavens!

[If one regards Dawn and Dusk as Li Guang, then they are of no use, but enlightenment can only come when one is guided out of ignorant darkness, towards the light of civilization.]

When Bailuo swung that blade, releasing the life force to tell the Black Leather Book he was abandoning the mission, the text on the book changed.

Just like with the Greedy World Wolf, Bailuo had not followed the instructions of the Black Leather Book.

He chose to follow his own heart, making decisions based on his
