Chapter 151 Trials and Trials - I Am the Protagonist (The End)
"Om-"
The silk threads throughout the room stretched taut, emitting strange noises once again.
"what!"
The Jade Emperor and Ying Qing both jolted awake, trembling slightly.
"These threads are going to disappear."
The Jade Emperor looked around and noticed the silk threads that were beginning to disappear. He immediately understood the situation.
"What a pity!! Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after cultivating for so long, I've only managed to replenish the demonic power I just lost, without gaining anything at all. Stingy! The Great Dao is truly stingy!"
The Jade Emperor could only maintain his composure for three seconds before he watched helplessly as the threads disappeared before his eyes, his face filled with heartache and indignation.
"Your Majesty, this seems to have been meant to make up for what you did. I also practiced for a while, but I didn't feel anything." Ying Qing raised his right hand, examined it in front of him, and then casually put it down.
"Eh? Is that so?" The Jade Emperor touched his nose guiltily and awkwardly changed the subject: "Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. Uh, I think we should discuss how to deal with this thing?"
In the dim space, a large plume of black smoke floated silently above the heads of the Jade Emperor and Ying Qing. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that this was the black smoke produced after the God of Darkness's body was cut by those threads. It flew into the air, condensed and did not dissipate, and it was unknown what other purpose it had.
Just when the Jade Emperor and Ying Qing were having a headache, the usefulness of this black smoke soon became apparent.
On the other side, Yu Liu's movements did not stop. Her body floated quietly in the air, while her hands made complicated gestures. Her movements were so fast that the eyes of a person could only catch a small afterimage.
Suddenly, Yu Liu stopped moving. She raised her left hand slowly, palm up, and a black sphere, about the size of a basketball, appeared in her hand. Black gas could be clearly seen flowing inside.
"It seems we have nothing to worry about now." The Jade Emperor looked at the black smoke that had disappeared above his head: "I knew it would be useful!"
Ying Qing: ...When did you say that?! Don't lie through your teeth!!
The black sphere throbbed restlessly in Yu Liu's hand, but it couldn't escape her control. Yu Liu pointed her right hand at Ju An and the others, who were gradually regaining consciousness. The three of them felt a suction force pulling them towards Yu Liu's right hand, their bodies uncontrollably drawn towards her, forming a human pyramid, back to back. Yu Liu's right hand rested on the back of the last person, and then she closed her eyes.
The black sphere struggled even more violently, with black smoke churning inside. Visibly, a silver light enveloped the black sphere, compressing it and gradually shrinking it. Meanwhile, the same silver light gradually climbed onto the bodies of the three people, enveloping them as well. However, instead of shrinking them, it made them even larger.
As the black sphere shrank smaller and smaller, the changes in the three people on the other side also became more and more significant. The three of them gradually grew to about two meters in height before reaching their final size. Then, changes began to occur on their bodies. First, their skin gradually became rough, and then scales grew, forming strange patterns. Their light clothes gradually became complicated and heavy, indicating that they were of high status. The color of their hair gradually changed from black to various colors. Small horns appeared on their foreheads, looking soft and forked, so small that one couldn't help but want to pinch them. A large tail gradually grew from their backs, flat and covered with scales, with even an upward spine on the tailbone, making it look very hard.
Jun Ran, who had been watching from the sidelines, realized: "I knew these three people were related to the dragon race. It turns out they are dragons themselves."
As the three dragons underwent a complete transformation, the black sphere gradually shrank until it disappeared. Having completed its mission, Yu Liu released its right hand. The three dragons awoke dazed, and before they could even figure out where they were, they suddenly vanished from the spot.
After they disappeared, Yu Liu's body went completely limp, and the five-colored light of the Reincarnation Well enveloped her and took her back.
Junran, left alone: Hugging himself in heartache T^T He hadn't understood a thing of what happened after that, and now he suddenly had no idea why he'd been sent here in the first place. Training? Forget it, this clearly wasn't training at all. So—why didn't they pick him up too?! ╯︵┻━┻!!!
The Jade Emperor stared blankly for three seconds at the three dragons that had suddenly appeared before him, then revealed an evil smile.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
The red-haired one of the three dragons was the first to realize the situation, cowered, shrank his neck, and knelt down tremblingly.
"Ha!" The Jade Emperor let out a cold laugh, then suddenly kicked out, "Do you still know who I am? How dare you show your face before me? How could I, the Jade Emperor, have such stupid subordinates?! You were just joking about going to the mortal realm for tribulations?! Going down alone is one thing, but you even brought two brothers to accompany you. And to make matters worse, you were instigated to turn against each other, almost having your bodies taken over and infiltrated into the Heavenly Court!!! I had to personally rescue you!!! It was just a casual game between a protagonist and a supporting character, and you've been completely fooled. You want to be the protagonist so badly?! Fine, I'll grant your wish, Ying Qing!"
Having vented his anger enough, he dusted off non-existent dust from his body and ordered those behind him, "I've recently seen quite a few novels on the Mortal's website, especially those with protagonist-torture elements. Create illusions of them all and put them in them so they can experience the thrill of being the protagonist!"
"Oh right!" The Jade Emperor had a flash of inspiration and another idea: "Remember to find a few demons with decent cultivation levels, and have them act as that...system, monitoring them and making sure they properly become the protagonists of ten novel worlds for me!!"
After giving his orders, the Jade Emperor's attire suddenly changed, his dark gold robes exuding luxury. He gave the three shrunken dragons one last cold look, then turned and left.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Ying Qing bowed and sighed at the three dragons huddled together, their eyes brimming with tears: "You've really done something stupid this time!! I need a little more time to prepare. You're all dragon kings with families to support, so hurry back and make the arrangements. Also, go see your families. Go!"
"Thank you so much, Divine Lord Qingyan!!"
-
In a corner of the world, darkness has engulfed this place, leaving no trace of light.
"...It broke?"
Hades looked at the three divine fragments shattered in his hand and muttered to himself.
"Able to shatter a godhood...that little girl seems...quite peculiar, interesting."
He pieced together the divine essences in his hands, and after they were joined together, it was as if the divine essences had been glued together, and the intersecting parts were gradually becoming smooth.
"However, something like a divine spark is useless once it's shattered..."
It cannot be completely destroyed and will recover in a short time. However, this Eastern Divine Realm does possess some capabilities after all...
