"Hahaha!"


    Upon seeing this, Horst threw his head back inughter and said, "Wilbur, do you think I''m as foolish as you? Let me tell you, I''ve long since mastered the power of dark space. Now, let my dark space power devour all your energy!"


    Hearing this, Wilbur was startled, but he quickly regained hisposure. He suddenly stretched out his hands and grasped Horst''s energy ball.


    In the next second, Wilbur''s hands emitted a white light, and the energy within the ball was rapidly absorbed by Wilbur''s Light Gloves. As the energy ball grew smaller, Horst''s expression transformed into that of shock as he eximed, "What? You... You''re actually the Child of Light?"


    Wilbur did not understand why practitioners in the middle dimensions would react with such shock upon learning of his identity, but this was not the time to seek answers. Wilbur could only elerate the absorption of the energy ball. As the energy ball shrank further, Horst suddenly unleashed the powerful force of his dark space.


    A strong shockwave instantly sent Wilbur flying several meters back. Gritting his teeth, Horst red at Wilbur and muttered, "You wretched bastard."


    At this point, the onlookers below the tform also noticed the white light emanating from Wilbur''s hands, and everyone fell into silence. If Wilbur was truly the sessor of the Child of Light, did it mean that the Dark Lord had been defeated and that the middle dimensions would soon be restored to order?


    There was a legend about the Child of Light: when the true Child of Light returned to the middle dimension, the middle dimension would begin to repair itself. At that time, nine City Lords formed of the power of light would appear in the Nine Major Towns.


    If those nine returned to their positions, the Nine Major Towns would be more peaceful, and the different middle dimensions would gradually begin to establish order.


    Although this would ensure fairness for all practitioners in the middle dimensions and bring backw and order, it would inevitably cause a massive disruption to the established hierarchy of the Nine Major Towns. The original beneficiaries would be deprived.


    These beneficiaries were, in fact, the exploiters, and they were also the ones in power in the Nine Major Towns. Therefore, under no circumstances would the nine City Lords want the legend toe true, and Wilbur''s appearance was undoubtedly the beginning of the legend.


    "The Child of Light has returned!"


    "Does this mean the rulers will descend once more?"


    "The middle dimensions will restore its original rules, and the entire fabric of space and time will renew itself. Everyone will be treated fairly then."


    The spectators were all cultivators who had gained some unexpected wealth through their own strength. None of them wanted to give up their current status. They all wished to continue living this way.


    If the nine rulers appeared andw and order descended upon the Nine Major Towns, even outside the cities, two practitioners would not be able to fight unless they both signed a death pact. They would not be able to kill each other, either, or they would certainly be captured and judged.


    If that time came andplete fairness was restored to the middle dimensions, it would also restrict everyone''s freedom. This was not a good thing for most cultivators, as the purpose of cultivation was to enhance one''s strength, and battles were inevitable.


    If even fighting were subject to rules, life in the middle dimensions would be strictly controlled. At that point, no one would want to live that kind of life.


    Originally, many of the spectators below the tform supported Wilbur, but after learning that Wilbur was the Child of Light, they began to loudly curse him in unison, "Kill him! Kill him!"


    "What?"


    Wilbur''s eyes scanned the crowd below the tform, his brows furrowed. He could not understand what had happened or why so many people suddenly hated him.
