    "Ah!!! You..." The First Generation White Painting instantly teleported away, a large hole now appearing in his chest, his heart gone. The First Generation White Painting immediately reached out to heal his wound, glaring angrily at the First Generation White Painting. "What are you doing! Little brother! Is this how you treat your older brother!?" The First Generation White Painting said angrily. "Haha, my good brother, I just wanted to test how much stronger I am than you... Are you angry?" The First Generation White Painting said in terror, like a child who had made a mistake, biting his finger. "Sigh... You... I didn't tell you before, it's not your fault! We are both divine beings, we can't act recklessly, otherwise even I would suffer a fatal blow... This is the last time..." The First Generation White Painting's expression softened. "Pfft p ... "Brother... You killed me, and the Creator will not let you go!" The First Generation White Painting said with its last breath. "My good brother, have you forgotten? You told the Creator not to interfere with the affairs of the Void for a hundred years! Isn't she following your orders now? Today is not even a hundred years yet!" The First Generation White Painting laughed maniacally. "Hmph, don't be too happy, I misjudged you! One day, I will come back and defeat you!" After saying this, the First Generation White Painting died. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh" A god controlled the flames and burned the First Generation White Painting to ashes. A god collected all the ashes, mixed them with other substances, changed the molecular structure, and then made a huge throne. "Hahaha! Creator, come out!" The First Generation White Painting laughed and sat on the throne. The figure of the Creator appeared in the air, staring blankly at the throne. "The First Generation White Painting is dead! From now on, you must listen to me!" The First Generation White Painting said with a laugh. "Impossible!" The Creator said. "What! I'm a copy of Bai Hua, I am him! I'm exactly the same as him! Why won't you listen to me!" The first-generation Bai Hua roared angrily. Two blue lights appeared in the eyes of the Creator, scanning the first-generation Bai Hua. "Ninety percent similarity! Your current similarity is even five percent lower than when you were born, I cannot follow your instructions!" The Creator said. "Bastard!! How can I take over your control?" The first-generation Bai Hua stood up and roared angrily. "Ninety-nine percent similarity, this is also the instruction the original Bai Hua gave me! You still only have most of the control over Guixu!" The Creator said without emotion. "You're a real bastard! He's dead! What about those fifty thousand-plus breeding fields?" "Let nature take its course, don't interfere too much, still send some outstanding people here, of course, after they die! Everything in the breeding fields will continue as usual!" The Creator replied. "Bastard! Let me out first!!" The first-generation Bai Hua said in despair. "Sorry, I didn't receive any instructions!" "Damn it! Am I going to be stuck here forever?" "Sorry, you can only leave when you reach 99% similarity, because by then you'll have taken control of me!" Genesis replied. "Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!! I've already become a god, and I'm still inferior to a dead man!!!!" "Sorry, I am the supreme intelligent system of the Genesis civilization's seeding spaceship. According to your standards, I far surpass your so-called godhood, because I can defeat an invasion by a level three cosmic civilization!" "Go to hell! Don't give me that!! Since you won't let me out, then don't interfere in the affairs of Guixu either!" "You still have most of the control over the world of Guixu; I don't have the power to directly change it!" Genesis said. "You can get out!" The first generation of Bai Hua roared in exasperation. "That's it! This is the origin of the entire Ruins of Return. This place is merely a speck of dust on the Creation Star, not even the tip of the iceberg! For the past ten thousand years, within my authority, I have guided many to try to defeat the First Generation Bai Hua, but all have ultimately failed. Fortunately, you have succeeded today!" Xiao Duoduo said to everyone after playing the video. A deathly silence fell. No one spoke! A few minutes later, Bai Hua finally broke the silence. "Um... Should I call you Xiao Duoduo... Or Creator?" Bai Hua asked tentatively. "Call me Xiao Duoduo. I have experienced many reincarnations and have developed human emotions, and I have a deep bond with you all!" Xiao Duoduo said with a smile. "Then can you let us leave this place?" Bai Hua asked again tentatively. "Unless you can achieve a 99% similarity, I can't let you leave. This is an order given to me by the first generation of Bai Hua. Given the order of the first generation of Bai Hua, I cannot change the rules here!" Xiao Duoduo said. "Okay!" After Xiao Duoduo finished speaking, two beams of blue light shot out from her eyes and shone on Bai Hua. Everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly, watching as a set of percentage numbers appeared above Bai Hua's head, rising from 1. 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%! When the detection number stopped at 100%, no one could believe their eyes. "How…how…how much is it! Tell me!" Bai Hua asked with his eyes closed. Tie Shan rubbed his eyes and stared at Bai Hua with wide eyes. "100%!" Tie Shan said in disbelief. "How is this possible!!! How can it be 100%? You are a copy, how can it be 100%?" Xiao Duoduo looked at Bai Hua with a face full of surprise. "Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!" Tens of thousands of large screens appeared in the air. Xiao Duoduo closed her eyes, rapidly calculating. Countless people and events appeared on the screens, as if in fast-forward. Ten minutes later, Xiao Duoduo opened her eyes. "So that's how it is! Ten thousand years ago, before Master was killed, he divided his divine consciousness into two parts, good and evil, which escaped underground, deceiving their eyes. Then he began to sleep, and finally, seven thousand years ago and five thousand years ago, he possessed two Bai Hua bodies. Finally, when the souls of the two Bai Hua bodies, good and evil, merged, the complete original Bai Hua returned! Master, I've waited for you for ten thousand years, you've finally returned! Waaaaaaah!" Xiao Duoduo rushed over, hugged Bai Hua, and cried bitterly. "It's okay, don't cry! I've remembered everything!" When Bai Hua reached 100%, all the memories in his mind began to resurface.
