"Did I mishear? You plan to actively maintain the balance?"

Ancient One looked numbly at the man in front of her, who was showing a bright smile.

As for how to actively do it, does she still need to think about it? Hell had been cleaned up, and if it couldn't maintain peace, then she would clean up Heaven as well to maintain the same standard.

This meant that Bi Xiao actually considered demon lords and those archangels as prey.

"Why?" Ancient One wasn't someone who liked to meddle in others' affairs, but she couldn't help but ask. She couldn't understand why Bi Xiao wanted to do this.

In reality, the current balance was already the best scenario.

Heaven and Hell couldn't directly intervene, Earth maintained peace. Although there were occasional disturbances over the struggle for faith, they were all within a controllable range.

With her guidance and deterrence, basically, there wouldn't be any major trouble.

At most, she could ignore Mephisto and Heaven's minor maneuvers.

But Bi Xiao was different. He intended to actively break this balance and create a new balanced situation through slaughter.

"Because greed is endless. Master Ancient One, you will leave Earth one day, but the balance will inevitably be broken eventually."

Bi Xiao certainly wouldn't openly say it was because he had a golden finger to find bosses to farm instances. Those invaders from other dimensions, some strong, some weak. Most of the strong ones descended in their true forms. Killing them didn't yield much life essence, like Dormammu, who was just a combination of consciousness and energy even after being defeated.

That little bit of experience wasn't even enough to feed a mosquito. How could he be interested? The weaker ones interested him even less.

Where could he find the comfort of encountering a big boss's true form?

Of course, he wouldn't tell Ancient One the truth, so he used another set of reasoning, which also made sense based on facts.

Bi Xiao looked at Ancient One with righteous seriousness and said, "I see a future in chaos, with endless crises and major events, including Hell and Heaven. Their ambitions will eventually target Earth, bringing disasters that will take countless lives."

"Not even a chance to struggle for survival."

"I have never been a saint, but I can't stand those bastards coming to Earth, treating humans like livestock and slaughtering them to seize their souls."

"Instead of passively waiting, it's better to make them understand what awe means through my way."

This speech left Ancient One speechless.

Ancient One was a standard hawk, not a dove. Most of the enemies invading Earth were either expelled or killed by her. Otherwise, Kamar-Taj wouldn't have so many artifacts made from the bones or parts of life forms from other dimensions.

Those were just materials.

But she alone had to maintain the pressure from multiple sides, making it impossible to implement her ideas like Bi Xiao.

In short, she could do it too. Her strength was indeed great, but not enough to easily wipe out opponents of the same level. A major battle of the Sky Father level would greatly exhaust her, so she could only maintain the balance using home field advantage.

Bi Xiao was different. His talent was so outstanding that even Ancient One was amazed. A standard berserker, fighting wouldn't exhaust or weaken him; on the contrary, he would only grow stronger. His growth rate couldn't be measured by conventional thinking.

Understanding Bi Xiao's thoughts, Ancient One thought for a moment and said nothing more.

"You must know what you are doing. If you are not careful, you will not only face one side, but also the combined siege of Hell and Heaven. They will not let go of such an unstable factor like you."

"Of course, I have never been reckless. I believe Master Ancient One should know my initial approach."

Bi Xiao was very confident about this.

Ancient One smiled gently, "I look forward to your next big move. If you need any help, I can provide it anytime, but I won't support you openly."

Bi Xiao nodded lightly.

This was the standard IMF (Impossible Mission Force) in "Mission: Impossible" where the government wouldn't acknowledge them if they were discovered.

"I will rest for a while."

Bi Xiao said, and Ancient One understood.

Ancient One left, dismantling the mirror dimension. Returning to Forks Town, Bi Xiao didn't stay in the town for long. He stayed only a few days and did some intimate things with Bella. Charlie apparently knew about this too.

Charlie, Bella's father, was very angry about Bi Xiao taking away his little girl and almost took out handcuffs to arrest Bi Xiao on the spot.

However, Bella was entirely devoted to Bi Xiao. On the surface, Bi Xiao's conditions were excellent.

He had a mansion in New York worth tens of millions, many private luxury cars, and over a billion dollars in his account. Other than lacking power, he was a standard member of the American upper class.

And he had no parents, meaning no troublesome family matters.

Charlie himself was just the sheriff of a small town. He couldn't, in good conscience, say that Bi Xiao wasn't a match for Bella.

Helplessly, he agreed but required Bella to finish high school and preferably also complete college, even if it meant going to college in New York.

Actually, it was just the condition of finishing high school in Forks. He couldn't control whether she went to college in New York.

After all, they were several states apart.

Bi Xiao satisfied Charlie's last stubbornness, then he left. Bella's appearance was an accident. Having stayed in Forks long enough, it was time for the next part of his journey.

He promised Bella that after she finished high school this year, he would take her away or continue their journey.

He left the RV and Ducati motorcycle with Bella.

He also deposited ten million dollars into Bella's account, to use as she wished. Money was just a string of numbers, a tool to serve life.

Bi Xiao didn't hurry back to New York. He planned to visit Eastern Europe.

Because after returning to Earth, he suddenly sensed a burst of energy in Eastern Europe. That energy was very powerful and pure. He had to check it out.

He also guessed who the owner of that energy was.

If there were no surprises, such a person might bring him great help and was worth cultivating.
