Su Cheng, You're Really Something
Most of the people from the Spirit Hall recognized Su Cheng. Seeing that he could appear in the center of the battle so casually and without any injury, they realized that his strength was extraordinary.
They exchanged a glance, then gestured to each other to retreat from the vicinity, turning to support other battlefields.
Su Cheng didn't pay attention to the change in environment, but looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said again, "So, do you want to come with me?"
"..." Zhu Zhuqing did not respond, but the strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. Her heart was pounding in her chest, as if a strange emotion was brewing and rising, waiting to burst out in the next moment.
But when it comes to the critical point, it gets suppressed again, and then it surges futilely at the bottleneck, unable to truly be released.
This unusually contradictory feeling made her extremely uncomfortable, even painful.
The surrounding sounds began to fade away.
The distant roars, the thunder of battle, and even the gentle breeze beside my ears gradually disappeared, as if being slowly wiped away by an invisible hand.
Hearing comes next, followed by vision.
Everything in front of her began to blur, and she felt as if she were observing the world through a frosted glass.
Only the figure of the young man in front of me remained clear.
The suffocating, distorted sensations almost made her feel physically nauseous, wanting to gasp for breath and vomit...
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized that this choice was extremely important to her.
Should they leave with Su Cheng, or continue to hold their ground on the battlefield and resist the offensive from the Spirit Hall Empire...?
In a world so silent it was unsettling, a voice suddenly rang out clearly.
It was Su Cheng speaking.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I know you. You have never been an ambitious person. That's your nature, and it's the same in any world."
"I can tell you clearly that the purpose of establishing the Spirit Hall Empire is not for the Spirit Hall to try to control all resources, but to provide a fairer environment for all people. Or rather, to give more opportunities to commoner Soul Master with outstanding Martial Soul talents, just like what the Spirit Hall has been doing."
"You might as well think about it. With the Martial Soul foundation of the Netherworld Zhu Family, even if there is a change of ruler, what impact would it have? The upper and lower limits of this family have long been set."
"Continuing to stay in the Star Luo Empire to fight for power and profit will not only be a constraint for you, but it may not be a good thing for your family either. No matter what achievements you make in the future, you will eventually have to leave the Zhu Family."
"Can you truly understand the principles behind the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul? Can you be certain that this unique and powerful Martial Soul can be inherited through bloodlines like ordinary Martial Soul...?"
"Enough!" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly shouted angrily, her expression irritated and her eyes flashing with a struggling light. "Don't talk nonsense to me!"
She didn't know why she was so agitated at that moment.
In the past, I always had a vague sense of awe towards the mysterious Su Cheng and was always very careful about my boundaries.
Moreover, when Su Cheng appeared just now, a fleeting intuition gave her a strong warning, telling her that the other party was more powerful than she could imagine and could easily end her life.
However, she still followed her heart and called it out.
After speaking, Zhu Zhuqing instantly felt a surge of joy, as if she had the right to question the other party in this way.
Su Cheng was also taken aback by her expression and fell silent for a moment.
"You just need to tell me... do you really want me to leave with you?"
After a long while, Zhu Zhuqing spoke in a low voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that her voice seemed to have changed slightly.
"Of course. I already gave you the answer to this question ten years ago."
"Okay, I'll go with you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing's expression suddenly changed.
"Call--"
The glass separating us from the world has shattered.
A faint sound of wind arose from somewhere and drifted over.
Then the wind grew stronger and stronger, turning into a strong wind, and then into a gale, swirling around the two of them...
"Really..."
As he watched the woman before him gradually rise in aura and her energy properties change little by little, Su Cheng finally confirmed his guess.
There is a close connection between changing their fate and the progress of their Spirit Core awakening.
Ah Yin's situation is the simplest because her existence is different from others; she is not bound by the constraints of a physical body.
The seeds of Zhu Zhuqing's fate were sown as early as when she awakened the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul.
Later, in Maple Flower Town outside the Star Dou Great Forest, with Su Cheng's intervention, the relationship between the Shrek Seven Devils developed an irreparable rift in the early stages, and thus the seeds began to sprout.
Before the trip to Sea God Island, the other Shrek Academy members who had not obtained the Immortal Herb, even with External Soul Bone, did not experience a fundamental change in their aptitude, and the gap between them grew wider and wider.
Now, as Zhu Zhuqing makes her final choice and everything connects with what happened before, the Source Power hidden deep within her soul finally begins to truly awaken...
Soon the wind subsided, then quickly folded up again, until it transformed into a pair of long wings, fluttering behind Zhu Zhuqing.
Her long hair was tinged with a faint dark red, and her eyes were no longer as pure as before, scrutinizing Su Cheng with a cold light.
She remembered everything.
Along with it came even greater power and talent than this body.
"Su Cheng, you're really something."
"Boom--"
A golden afterimage shot down from the sky, and just before hitting the ground, it spread its six wings to barely slow its descent.
Even so, it still crashed heavily against the city wall, producing a tremendous roar.
Qian Renxue stood up, supporting herself with her sword, and looked up at the sky, a trickle of golden blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
But compared to the impact she suffered, the tiny hole in her chest that pierced her heart was the root cause of her severe injury.
"Tang Sect's Number One Hidden Weapon: Guanyin's Tears."
Tang San, who landed right after her, looked at Qian Renxue on the wall with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Logically speaking, with his current God-level Soul Power, using his ultimate technique, Guanyin's Tears, to launch a sneak attack should be enough to kill his opponent.
But for some reason, an unusual energy suddenly erupted from within this newly ascended Angel God's body, suppressing the explosion of Guanyin's Tears and allowing the Hidden Weapon to pass through her body, thus saving her life.
But even so, it doesn't matter.
The opponent has suffered heavy losses, and victory is only a matter of time.
"So weak."
On a distant mountain peak, Zhu Zhuqing gazed at the weak and listless Qian Renxue, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in her eyes.
Just now, Su Cheng had given her a general overview of the current situation and was leading her here to silently observe the battle in the distance.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Su Cheng and said, "Why don't you go and kill Tang San to help Qian Renxue? Isn't she your old flame?"
"I already said, Xiao Xue is in the same situation as you before; she hasn't regained her memories from reality. As for Tang San ..." A strange light flashed in Su Cheng's eyes, "He's still useful."
He didn't intervene not because he was concerned about the fluctuations in Tang San's original fate.
With Su Cheng's current strength, he no longer cares about the so-called fate line correction power, because after he possessed the Trajectory Demon Eye, he truly understood the meaning of "fate" in this world.
The destiny of every living being has its limits; once a certain level is reached, it is enough to break the restrictions of lower-level rules.
No matter who stands behind Tang San to nurture him, Su Cheng is not afraid at all, because his next target is the Asura God who may descend to the mortal realm.
Su Cheng's goal was to ensure that Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue could awaken their memories through this opportunity.
Only when they all possess real-world power will Su Cheng be confident in launching a tentative challenge against the Divine Realm in this Simulation. A trip to the Divine Realm would provide him with a significant intelligence advantage upon his return to reality.
Otherwise, we would have to use Douluo Star as our base and wait for the enemy to arrive, which would be too passive.
In addition, he also needs to borrow Tang San's help.
Su Cheng had already seen the Asura Divine Power hidden within Tang San's body. In other words, if he didn't interfere, this guy still had a good chance of achieving Dual Godhood.
Tang San, who had become the Asura God, was absolutely no match for the power of the Angel God and the Rakshasa God; this was a difference in their levels.
Even the newly ascended Asura God possesses the strength of Second-Level God. Coupled with the God of Law Enforcement's special attacks on other deities, even if Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong combined their strength, their lives would still be in danger.
Only by facing a sufficiently powerful and deadly enemy together can Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue truly set aside their past grievances and join forces.
Perhaps when they had to sacrifice for each other, these two extremely stubborn and self-reliant individuals would instinctively realize the irreplaceable importance of each other in their lives.
This was the best way Su Cheng could think of to achieve multiple goals at once.
Of course, if things don't go as expected, he will still choose to take action.
The True Power hidden within Qian Renxue's body had just been exhausted, but Qian Daoliu was still there to save her life.
As for why Su Cheng chose to be close to Bibi Dong rather than Qian Renxue in this world...
"Hmm?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned her head to look at the distant horizon, then turned back to scrutinize Su Cheng. "What exactly are you up to, you rascal?"
Su Cheng naturally noticed the fluctuations in her aura, which even she could sense.
It was Bibi Dong, who had achieved the Rakshasa Godhood Bibi Dong, who finally arrived on the battlefield at this moment.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to give them both this opportunity to resolve their issues."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was initially puzzled, but then countless images flashed through her mind.
Bibi Dong's ambiguous and subtle attitude in reality, a certain doubt that had repeatedly surfaced in my mind, and even the rumors I heard in this world...
Her expression suddenly changed, and she stared at Su Cheng without blinking, coldly saying, "Pervert."
"..."
The battle resumed in the distance, but the two men's attention was no longer on the battlefield.
With Bibi Dong present, Tang San, fighting two against one, was naturally no match for her. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated or even killed.
"... Disgusting!" Seeing Su Cheng remain silent, Zhu Zhuqing became even more certain of her suspicions and immediately became furious.
"Su Cheng! You... how could you... Are you even human?!"
"Alright, alright, let's talk about this later. At least until this storm passes, then you can scold me all you want, okay?"
"You're still so shameless." Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, feeling helpless.
In fact, she was not entirely unprepared for this outcome.
But when the time came, it was still hard to accept.
"Also, who is this Su Yue? How come I didn't know you had an older sister?"
"Well, this is a long story."
"Then let's get to the point."
"Alright, she is the ancestor of the Soul Beast Clan, and has a grudge against the Divine Realm. She is my natural ally."
"An ally?" Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled into a mocking smile, but there was no mirth in her eyes. "I think it's more than that. I felt there was something wrong with that guy's attitude towards you from the first glance."
"Sigh, let's talk about that when we get back to reality. By the way, have you felt any changes in your own power?"
"... I felt it."
"Give me some."
"On what grounds?"
Without wasting words, Su Cheng simply took her hand and began to channel his True Power into her.
She struggled symbolically for a couple of moments, then gave up.
"You're only this tough in front of me." Zhu Zhuqing sneered, looking at their clasped hands.
"Nonsense, I'm just as tough in front of Ah Yin," Su Cheng retorted inwardly.
Of course, this cannot be said to someone's face.
He just smiled and said, "Because you're the best to me, I know that perfectly well."
"Snort."
"..."
As their energies merged, Su Cheng could clearly feel that the puzzle of his own bloodline was beginning to be further perfected.
That is the power of the wind.
When Xiao Wu appeared in front of Tang San and blocked a fatal blow for him, after being pierced by the sharp blade, a huge blood-red vortex appeared in the sky above Jialing Pass.
Bibi Dong stared in shock at the red light in the sky, her eyes trembling slightly.
Qian Renxue noticed her lapse in composure and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"
"The Asura God... How could this be..."
Bibi Dong ignored her daughter's questions and muttered to herself incredulously.
She knew that Su Cheng had given up inheriting the Asura Godhood, and she also knew that Tang San possessed the Divine Slaughter's Domain, which meant he was initially qualified to inherit the Asura Godhood.
But how long has it been since Su Cheng gave up his godhood? Why was this guy able to pass the Asura God Test in such a short time?
Moreover, this is on top of Tang San already possessing the Sea God Godhood, and now another god's position has appeared out of thin air.
In Bibi Dong's understanding, divine positions are exclusive, and it is impossible for anyone to occupy two divine positions at the same time.
On a distant mountaintop, a beautiful figure with silver hair and purple eyes appeared beside Su Cheng and Zhu Zhuqing. She looked solemnly toward the battlefield and whispered, "Asura God?"
After speaking, she frowned and glanced at the two people next to her, especially the tall, voluptuous beauty among them.
This is someone I know; he's always had a very imposing physique since he was a child.
However, the other party seems to be very different from back then.
It wasn't just the change in hair color and aura; even the temperament and the power fluctuations emanating from the body seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
Su Cheng took the initiative to greet Su Yue and asked, "You've become a god?"
"Um."
Su Yue nodded, but there was no joy on her face.
Time was too tight, and in order to meet the agreed time with Su Cheng, she had no choice but to follow the method he had previously mentioned and not return to the God-level with the complete Dragon God Bloodline.
Although it was much stronger than the original Silver Dragon King, it was still far from her expectations, so she naturally wasn't very happy.
However, this approach is not without its advantages.
Not only do they not need to go through the tribulations of becoming a god, but they also have more possibilities for the future, although their potential is likely to be lower than that of the Dragon God.
