Yu Xiaogang's Transformation, Raiden Makoto's Resurrection
Yu Yuanzhen: "Hahaha! That's my son for you! That's right, Yu Xiaogang is my son. Xiaogang, the truth is, I sent you away back then so you could gain experience."
Yu Yuanzhen: "Hurry back now. The position of young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been kept open for you."
At Shrek Academy.
Liu Erlong hurried over and excitedly hooked her arm through Yu Xiaogang's, her eyes slightly moist. "This is wonderful, Xiaogang. After all these years, we've finally made it."
"Uh." Yu Xiaogang nodded, a trace of disdain and coldness already flashing through his eyes as he looked at Liu Erlong.
As he saw it,
He would soon be the Grandmaster ranked ninth on the list. Once he received the reward from the sky screen, he could break through to level thirty.
He would become the young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then its clan master, and a Titled Douluo.
After that, he would follow Xiao San to the Divine Realm.
Another beautiful figure appeared unbidden in Yu Xiaogang's mind.
His first love, Bibi Dong.
He had once thought himself unworthy of Bibi Dong and had run away.
Things were different now.
He would soon be the young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a future Titled Douluo, and he would even go to the Divine Realm.
Liu Erlong's status was truly awkward. She was his cousin, and the illegitimate daughter of his second uncle, Yu Luomian.
No matter how he looked at it, she wasn't worthy of him, was she? No, if he stayed with Liu Erlong, wouldn't people accuse him of incest when he went to the Divine Realm?
Bibi Dong was different. She was the Pope of Spirit Hall and the Rakshasa God's successor. They were simply a match made in heaven. If not for that incident, he would have married Bibi Dong long ago.
The more Yu Xiaogang compared them, the more disdain filled his gaze when he looked at Liu Erlong.
Having endured enough humiliation since childhood, he would never allow another stain to mar his life.
In the Teyvat livestream chat.
Hu Tao: "It's just one resurrection, right? Just one resurrection, right? @Lin Feng, @Nahida, @Zhongli."
Lin Feng: "Yes."
Zhongli: "Generally speaking, yes."
Hu Tao: "That's good, that's good. If people could resurrect endlessly, we at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor might as well close down."
Venti: "Ehe, resurrecting someone without paying any price. Congratulations, Raiden Ei. I wonder if I'll have a chance to make the list."
Furina: "Wow, resurrection! Congratulations! This sky screen is incredible. I wonder if that Light has a chance of making the list."
Lin Feng: "This really is a reward that would tempt even the Seven."
Lin Feng: "Using this as bait, one could make even gods submit."
On Celestia.
Even Lin Feng himself was a little stunned when he saw the reward.
Good grief.
He had been wondering why the group chat was so lively.
The sky screen was actually using this to test its cadres.
What cadre could withstand such a test?
Which of the gods under him didn't have someone they wanted to resurrect?
There was Guizhong for Zhongli, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata for Nahida, Venti's friend, the Three Moon Sisters for Columbina, and so on.
Only the Seven under him had a broad vision.
Over on the Douluo side, if this reward had appeared, they would have already fucking started killing. The God Kings of the Douluo God Realm might even have taken the risk of resurrecting.
At that moment,
The sky screen came into view again.
In the Plane of Euthymia,
Raiden Ei used her resurrection chance.
Boundless lightning power gathered, forming a beautiful figure before him who looked eighty percent like her.
Unlike Raiden Ei's icy aloofness, the figure gave off a gentle feeling.
It was Raiden Makoto.
Tears burst from Raiden Ei's eyes and fell onto the ground of the Plane of Euthymia.
Unable to hold back any longer, she lunged forward. "Sister!"
Raiden Ei repeated the word over and over, as though making up in that moment for all the times she had gone a thousand years without calling her sister.
Raiden Makoto said nothing, gently stroking the back of Raiden Ei's head with her small hand. "Why are you crying? Your sister is back, isn't she?"
It was just as though Raiden Ei were still the Raiden Makoto who had trotted along behind him.
Raiden Ei said nothing, simply holding her sister Raiden Makoto in her arms.
Her small hands gripped Raiden Makoto especially tightly.
She was afraid.
She was afraid this was another dream.
That was how it happened in her dreams. Whenever she dreamed of her sister, she would go to embrace her, only to grasp at nothing and wake up as soon as she held her tightly.
Then she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again, no matter what.
When she couldn't sleep, she would contemplate eternity in the Plane of Euthymia.
Rather than contemplating eternity, she was afraid to sleep, afraid she wouldn't be able to help dreaming again, dreaming of her sister only to grasp at nothing and wake up.
After contemplating eternity for so long, she gradually stopped liking sleep.
As she held her,
Raiden Ei couldn't help closing her eyes.
She fell asleep, the corners of her mouth curving into a crescent moon.
After more than a hundred thousand years, she smiled once again.
Because she knew that this time, it really wasn't a dream.
Her sister really had returned.
This scene sent the Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent into an uproar.
"Holy shit, she really came back to life! That's fucking incredible!"
"The reward for tenth place is already this terrifying. Won't the rewards for the higher ranks be even scarier?!"
"Holy shit, Yu Xiaogang's about to soar!"
"..."
At Shrek Academy.
Even Tang Hao was stunned.
Someone really could be resurrected without any price.
This sky screen was far too powerful.
Ah Yin's figure appeared unbidden in his mind.
If Raiden Ei were willing to give him the chance to resurrect someone, he would do anything, even die.
But clearly, that was impossible.
Even so, a trace of hope arose in Tang Hao's heart.
Perhaps,
Even if there was only the slightest chance,
He might make the list too.
He might have a chance to see the figure who haunted his dreams once more.
It wasn't just him. There were also Xiao Wu and many other Soul Masters.
They were all immensely excited.
That was resurrection!
The reward for tenth place was already this incredible.
Wouldn't the reward for ninth place be even more heaven-defying?
The one who could sit still the least was Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He set off that very night, taking the clan's experts to Shrek Academy.
To show their sincerity, they had even tied thorny switches to their backs to beg forgiveness.
Yu Xiaogang, of course, chose to agree as quickly as possible.
After returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,
He quickly sent people to cripple everyone who had bullied him, destroy their cultivation, and throw them out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to fend for themselves.
Yu Yuanzhen had no objection to this and even acted personally.
As he saw it, trading a few pieces of trash for the return to the clan of a son whose child could become a god was an immensely worthwhile bargain.
Just then,
Images appeared on the sky screen once again.
The ranking began again.
