Gao Fushuai's question made Hua Ling ponder as well. Though he looked like Theresa, that didn't mean he was stupid. On the contrary, he was far smarter than the big idiot beside him.
"We need to calm down. That pimped-out car that sent us flying here even left us a stable air bubble, so it clearly doesn't want to kill us for fun."
"Heaven never seals off all exits. Maybe help is on its way."
As Hua Ling said that, Gao Fushuai stared behind him in shock.
"Wow, it really is coming! A whole damn galaxy is crashing toward us!"
Gao Fushuai shouted in terror. Hua Ling's face stiffened, and he turned around as well, only to see White Dwarfs filling his entire field of vision as they hurtled toward them.
Just as the two were about to close their eyes and await death, the countless White Dwarfs and neutron stars suddenly turned intangible and passed through them. When they cautiously opened their eyes again, they saw colorful scales filling their entire field of vision, etched with countless profound inscriptions and silently burning with multicolored flames.
The two stared blankly at the single scale that alone filled their entire vision. They could not imagine what sort of being had found them. As ordinary people, they watched in terrified unease as that figure seemed to realize something and began shrinking at high speed.
It shrank from an infinite size to a length of a thousand kilometers.
Only then did they see what kind of being had found them.
"What a huge colorful dragon—and it's Yinglong from Primordial World mythology! Did we transmigrate into the Primordial World?"
Gao Fushuai asked in astonishment.
"I think the stranger thing is that we didn't die of fright after seeing something so enormous."
Hua Ling watched the gigantic Yinglong coil around them, its colorful dragon eyes fixed upon them.
"Hello?"
Hua Ling gathered his courage and asked carefully.
For some reason, he saw the delight of discovering something interesting in that enormous eye.
"Welcome to this universe, little cuties."
"Hmm, you two feel familiar to me, especially this little girl."
A majestic voice rang out. Hua Ling's face immediately darkened at the words "little girl," while Gao Fushuai struggled to hold back his laughter.
"I don't want to be like this either. May I ask who you are?"
Hua Ling shot a glare at the tall idiot, Gao Fushuai, beside him. He could only take on the role of negotiating with this being.
"Hmm, Immortal Dragon Qin."
"It is rare to encounter something interesting. I can grant each of you one wish and help you escape the desperate situation you are in. In exchange, I need entertainment! In other words, amuse me."
Immortal Dragon Aeon Lin Qin smiled at the two tiny specks and communicated with them through divine sense. He had accidentally arrived in this universe. It seemed very similar to the Star Rail World, yet its development also appeared much like that in the game.
He was not from this universe. After overcoming the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and attaining Golden Immortal status, he had gone next door and killed the Will of the Overarching Will, ending their karmic entanglement. While passing through this universe and preparing to return to his own, he had unexpectedly received that peculiar humming sound. That was why Lin Qin had come here and found these two Earthlings who seemed to be fellow countrymen.
What caught his attention most was that the Theresa played by that little girl looked remarkably authentic. To Lin Qin, who enjoyed stirring up trouble, this was entertainment not to be missed!
So, on a whim, he promised each of them one wish.
The perspective now returned to Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai.
"Come, young man. Do you desire power?"
Immortal Dragon Lin Qin asked his question.
"No! I desire dumplings!"
Hua Ling shouted instinctively, then suddenly covered his mouth. He was completely numb now. Gao Fushuai stared at Hua Ling in shock, wearing an expression that said, So you really do want to be a girl.
"I desire a system!"
Gao Fushuai hurriedly shouted. He knew this was an unimaginably powerful being—after all, it treated White Dwarfs and neutron stars like balls!
"Hmm, as you wish. A train that has warped here will soon come to retrieve you. I should be heading back as well."
"As you wish! Transform!"
As Lin Qin's words fell, radiant multicolored light enveloped the two. Lin Qin thought for a moment, saw the Plastic Judas on Hua Ling, and simply went along with it, transforming it into the genuine Oath of Judah.
Not only that, since Theresa had once been an acquaintance of his, Lin Qin naturally created the Core of the Herrscher of Binding and the Stone Mask as well. When he imagined Hua Ling holding the Stone Mask and shouting that she no longer wanted to be human, what incredible entertainment it would be to see Otsukiyo turned into a vampire!
The Vishnu Super-Mutagen Factor was also sealed within the system Gao Fushuai would become, to be unlocked only after certain conditions were met.
Lin Qin then looked at Gao Fushuai, who wanted a system, and granted his wish by turning him into one. He also bound him to Hua Ling, transformed Hua Ling into a genuine Theresa, and turned the Stardust Symphony on him into the real thing.
"Lastly, I grant you the Path of Immortality. I truly look forward to seeing what kind of entertainment it will be when those Aeons sense the aura of immortality from you."
Lin Qin once again sent radiant multicolored light shining over Hua Ling's transforming body, then withdrew after accomplishing his task and returned to his own universe.
With Lin Qin's concealment gone, several Aeons in the void of the universe immediately sensed the aura of immortality on Hua Ling.
His enormous figure vanished. Hua Ling had now become a genuine Theresa. She slowly opened her azure eyes and curiously felt her brand-new body. Lowering her head, she saw a pair of B-cup little buns pushing up her shirt, and her expression froze.
Hua Ling then tremblingly reached between her legs. The little Kun Kun she had imagined was nowhere to be found. Instead, she touched something belonging to a girl, and the strange sensation made her blush crimson.
"Hmm, a message left for me. I was granted the Path of Immortality? So you were the Immortal Dragon Aeon. But wasn't the Immortal Dragon gone?"
Hua Ling was completely numb. Then she noticed that Gao Fushuai's figure had disappeared, and she immediately began to panic.
"Gao Fushuai, where are you, you big idiot?!"
Hua Ling cried out anxiously. Though she had seemed emotionally stable before, that was because her best friend Gao Fushuai had been there. Now that she was alone, fear immediately welled up inside her.
Ding, Hua Ling, I think I've turned into a system... Damn it, I wanted a system, not to become a system myself!!! And I've been bound to you. There are system quota missions too. Let me take a look. First step: join the Astral Express. Reward: Vishnu Hyper-Mutation Factor. Failure: execution.
"Ah???"
Hua Ling cried out in fear.
Just kidding. Failure means you'll become space junk and keep Great Kaz company. But you really did become Theresa. Your dumplings are even bigger than hers. Not bad, not bad. I'm very satisfied. (*^▽^*) Since you've become Theresa, I should at least pick a name that complements yours. Everyone knows Theresa likes Homu, so I'll rename myself the Homu System! Also, Hua Ling, if you're going to pretend to be Theresa, you need to change your name to Theresa too. Otherwise, if suspicious Old Yang gets suspicious, my dear Hua Ling, you wouldn't want to become space junk and stop thinking, would you?
Gao Fushuai—now the Homu System—said to Hua Ling, who was now Theresa. Hua Ling felt somewhat unwilling after hearing that, but becoming Theresa did not seem so bad. She could only accept her fate and nod.
"Fine. To avoid becoming space junk and stopping my thoughts, from now on, I'll be called Theresa."
Hua Ling said helplessly. She was used to losing her integrity anyway, so she accepted her fate. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Spatial fluctuations began to spread in the distance. A huge black steam train tore through space and charged out nearby.
Today's illustration. This is the protagonist Hua Ling, or rather, what Theresa would look like in the future. Also, the Stardust Symphony ceremonial outfit she wore.
