Chapter 1047 - 638: Yao Qi, Evil Dragon, Loophole in the Cosmic Rules (2)
However, within the domain covered by her Soul Power, there was no discovery of any anomalies.
It seems that Lu Lin is not a pawn deliberately placed here by some force.
It’s just that his appearance was somewhat too abrupt.
Qi Wudi’s character is known to Yao Qi; normally, he would never easily use up the quota for servants.
But judging from his demeanor, there wasn’t a hint of being bewildered.
This Lu Lin seems quite extraordinary.
Just as she was about to retract her Soul Power, she suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from a cave.
Yao Qi furrowed her brow; curiosity compelled her to probe further.
After all, on this Mo Nan World, there is no one stronger than her.
Upon probing, Yao Qi witnessed a sickening scene.
An old man with a head full of silver hair was holding onto a newly dead World Monster, blood covering his face as he gnawed at it.
The sight resembled that of a primitive savage.
Soul Power swept over, and the old man’s situation was instantly unveiled to Yao Qi.
A cultivator dreaming of becoming a Main World person through Secret Treasures; now, this old man was a flickering candle, needing constant Life Energy to sustain himself.
For him, no Elixir would be effective.
Even though he could now gnaw at World Monster corpses, the old man’s days were numbered.
Within a hundred years, he would succumb to illness and suffering.
Ultimately, a pitiable person.
A hint of compassion flashed across Yao Qi’s face; given the old man’s situation, she couldn’t assist, so why not send him on a journey to spare him more suffering?
Compassion stirred in Yao Qi’s heart, intensifying the Soul Power Fluctuation.
The old man gnawing on the World Monster’s corpse instantly sensed someone attacking.
He dropped the corpse and shouted: "Who, who wants to kill me?"
"Three Sages Temple?"
"Imprisoned Immortal Mountain?"
"Or Chen Buming?"
"Who wants to take the life of I, Evil Dragon?"
"None of them."
Seeing the old man’s frenzied state, Yao Qi couldn’t resist replying.
"None of them? Then who are you?"
"I... sigh, just a passerby, unwilling to see you suffer disease all year round."
"Ordinary world people aiming to be promoted to Gang Member Level is utterly impossible; it’s the limitation of cosmic rules, beyond human alteration."
"Old mister, if you don’t die now, every day ahead will be more painful than today; it’s out of goodwill that I’d want to release you."
"If there’s a chance to be human in the next life, remember not to be an ordinary world person again."
"Such lofty tone again."
"I, Evil Dragon, have acted with no regrets in my heart; the woman I like, I must get; my enemies, I must kill; the treasure I desire, I must possess; if I can’t, I’ll destroy it."
"Dominating the world for tens of thousands of years, yet always encountering hypocrites like you; my life and death, I decide; even if I’m ridden with pain, I’m willing, no need for your pity."
"Hahaha, moreover, I’ve found a genius to help me seek out Shape-shifting Thousand-masks Grass; once it’s obtained, I’ll be healthy and live for tens of thousands of years more."
"In this world, there’s no obstacle I, Evil Dragon, can’t overcome; I don’t need your help for my life."
"So, you’re called Evil Dragon, that’s a nice name, I’ll remember it."
Yao Qi spoke blandly, seemingly touched by Evil Dragon’s words.
Living in the Main World, masters like her never experienced the sorrows and bitterness of the lower class, and therefore wouldn’t possess such strong spirit—to persevere, even striking the enemy with defiance when facing death.
"However..."
"Elder doesn’t seem to know, having gnawed so many World Monsters, your body is filled with endless Monster Molecules; after death, you’ll transform into a World Monster, possibly even evolving into a sentient one, causing countless deaths..."
"I’m sure elder wouldn’t want to see such a scene."
"Hahahahahaha."
Evil Dragon roared at the sky, agony twisting his expression more.
"After my death, let the deluge come."
"Life and death are fate, wealth is in heaven. If they die, so be it; why should I harbor unnecessary emotions for the doomed?"
"You wish to kill me today, but I won’t sit idle."
"Explode—now!"
In madness, Evil Dragon self-destructed.
His lifetime of pride knew well he couldn’t escape a Main World master.
Then, in his last moments, he wouldn’t let the opponent triumph.
His life, his fate, eternally only in his own hands.
But...
Before dying, Evil Dragon had a hallucination, seeing Lu Lin approaching with Shape-shifting Thousand-masks Grass, loudly saying: "Elder Evil Dragon, I’ve fulfilled my mission, brought you the grass; please heal quickly."
"Good Lu Lin, pass it to me..."
"Boom!"
He whispered, regained his senses at that moment.
Yet, his self-explosion was irreversible.
A tremendous force erupted.
It was the self-destruction of a Leader Level master, terrifying in magnitude.
Centered on Evil Dragon, a massive deep pit formed within a hundred miles.
Though Yao Qi evaded in advance, she still got a slight Spirit and Soul wound.
"Good Lu Lin, pass it to me?"
Yao Qi furrowed her brow, replaying the phrase.
Good Lu Lin, any relation to Qi Wudi’s servant Lu Lin?
Thinking briefly, Yao Qi shook her head, mourning the old man’s struggle for control before turning into the Flying Boat, the cabin door closing.
With energy input, the Flying Boat lifted silently, vanishing in Mo Nan World.
Perhaps hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years, it won’t return.
After the Flying Boat’s departure, in a cave miles from Evil Dragon’s explosion, a tiny flesh blob wriggled.
It absorbed the ubiquitous Star Power Energy, and soon shaped into a human form.
"Hahaha."
"Trying to kill me isn’t easy."
"If death were so easy, I’d have died many times over."
"Eh!"
Surprised, the sentient being turned around, as a ray of light illuminated the cave.
Evil Dragon.
Just self-destructed Evil Dragon resurrected successfully here.
Evil Dragon called out confusedly, noticing the newly born body being healthy and strong, Life Force robust.
Important is—
No golden key existed internally, yet his Cultivation was exactly Gang Member Level layer one.
In disbelief, Evil Dragon meticulously checked his body’s condition, repeatedly.
His mouth curved into a smile.
His eyebrows twitched.
His teeth showed.
Excitedly, he shouted.
Joyously, he danced.
"Hahahahaha..."
"I, Evil Dragon, benefited from misfortune, finally became a Main World person."
"An accompanying treasure actually exists within me."
"Years of effort weren’t wasted."
"Hahaha, thank the higher being trying to kill me—I mean, how else would I glimpse the universe’s ultimate mystery."
"Cosmic rules restrictions?"
"Hahaha, merely dead matter, it’s an unconscious rule, powerless against me."
"Powerless against me!"
"Hahahaha."
Evil Dragon laughed wildly in the cave.
It’s truly the reward after unbearable pursuit, surrender becomes possession.
Indeed, human determination triumphs over fate.
On the Flying Boat.
Qi Wudi was introducing Lu Lin to the various functions of the grand Flying Boat.
