Which Side Do You Choose, Heads or Tails?
"Door?!"
Luo Jun's eyes widened upon hearing this. He had been following Midnight around watching the commotion and had no idea what she was up to.
Even when he saw Midnight facing off against experts from three major government departments, Luo Jun wasn't too flustered. After all, he wasn't showing his true face right now, and he had the ability to stop Midnight at any time, so he simply let Midnight do whatever she wanted and wanted to see what she was up to.
Now, knowing that she is about to open a "door," Luo Jun can no longer remain calm.
What could garner such attention from the three major official organizations and cause such a global stir is naturally the Otherworld Gate that connects to other worlds! As far as Luo Jun knows, since the discovery of multiple Otherworld Gate over a hundred years ago, the Main World has not added a single new gate in the long span of time!
A new door represents a new world, new resources, and new dangers!
No wonder they were able to gather the world's three major official organizations; this is a major event that could influence the world order!
But Midnight said she would help them push it away?
Looking at the three experts, they were all shocked to see Midnight pick up the Night Sky Purple Pure Jade and aim it at the still unstable "gate". They rushed towards Midnight like madmen, but they seemed to be under some kind of curse. No matter how fast they ran, their feet barely moved.
Midnight seemed to lock the "distance" between them and the "door".
What could possibly make them so nervous? Could it be that something bad will happen if they open the door?
"Wait a minute!" Luo Jun finally spoke up to stop Midnight: "What do you mean by 'pushing away'?"
The three experts looked at Luo Jun, the man who had been following Midnight. He seemed unremarkable, and they had always assumed he was Midnight's attendant or servant. They never expected him to dare speak to a Feather Transformation expert in such a tone.
Unexpectedly, Luo Jun's shout actually made Midnight stop what he was doing, turn around and laugh, "It means exactly what it says. Although this is a Otherworld Gate, it is not stable yet. It can only be considered a prototype. You can see that it doesn't look like a normal Otherworld Gate at all. At most, it's just an unstable Spatial Turbulence."
"And this piece of purple jade in my hand is a powerful spatial stabilizing device. I will use its power to stabilize this Spatial Turbulence and turn it into a real door that can be pushed open!"
"Don't listen to her!" Noticing the seriousness in Midnight and Luo Jun's tone, the three experts seemed to have grasped at a straw. Xu Jiahe shouted, "The formation of this gate has failed! Once it gets out of control, the Spatial Turbulence could cause irreversible damage to the entire Main World, and could even kill hundreds of millions of people!"
"That's right!" Evelyn shouted from the side, "We were indeed drawn here by the birth of the new gate, but our purpose in gathering here is only to stabilize this Space-Time Turbulence. If it disrupts the current balance, it will definitely cause a disaster!"
"Moreover, a prophecy has circulated for many years!" Roland shouted, "When a new gate appears in the Main World, all of humanity will stand at a crossroads of life and death... That must be now!"
"Young man, if you can, you must stop that woman!" Xu Jiahe continued, "We've held out for so many days; we can't afford to lose everything!"
Faced with the three people's requests, Luo Jun looked at Midnight and asked, "What do you have to say?"
"They're right." Midnight nodded. "But that doesn't contradict what I'm doing."
As she spoke, Midnight looked at the three of them. "Just because you can't do something doesn't mean I can't. How long can you maintain this carefully? What's the point? It's a ticking time bomb for you; it'll explode at the slightest mistake. You might as well leave it to me, and I'll solve it once and for all..."
"Don't bother with that!" Roland gritted his teeth and said, "We've already found a way. I'm warning you, top- Ascension Expert from all our organizations are on their way here. No matter how skilled you are, you can't escape the siege of multiple Feather Transformation!"
"No need for so many immortals." Midnight chuckled softly, looking at Luo Jun: "If he really wanted to eliminate me, he could have done it long ago."
"What?!" The three were shocked. This young man possessed the ability to eliminate a Feather Transformation cultivator? He was also Feather Transformation? When did two Feathered Ascension Realm appear in the Main World?
Anyway, as long as we can stop that crazy woman, that's all that matters!
"This... powerful figure, if you can stop all this, please act quickly!" Evelyn pleaded, "This is a matter of utmost importance concerning the entire Main World! Don't you trust the endorsement of our three major official organizations?!"
Midnight looked at Luo Jun, raised the Night Sky Purple Pure Jade in her hand, and smiled slightly, "So? What do you want to choose?"
"Should I eliminate me, allowing these mediocre individuals to continue maintaining this unstable turbulent flow, where an explosion could occur any day, causing widespread destruction? Or should I trust me and let me completely transform this place into the Thirteenth Door of the Main World?"
"We can't trust her!" the three roared in unison.
Luo Jun frowned, then took a coin out of his pocket.
"You all have a point, so how about we flip a coin to decide?"
"If it's a positive outcome, then I'll support you continuing to build the door; if it's a negative outcome, then I'll support the decisions of the Three Great Organizations."
"What?!" Upon hearing his words, the three masters felt as if the sky had fallen. "How could such a matter be handled so hastily!"
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Jun had already tossed a coin, skillfully landing it on the back of his hand. He looked at it, smiled slightly.
"Heads!" Luo Jun picked up the coin and showed it, then raised his hand to Midnight: "Please begin your performance!"
"What?" The three experts were clearly startled, but Midnight had already activated the jade in his hand, and a powerful beam of purple light shot out, hitting the constantly surging Space-Time Turbulence.
Everyone was watching this scene intently. The three top officials were on tenterhooks, fearing that the unstable current would explode at any moment, instantly engulfing the country and spreading to the entire world...
However, to their surprise, as the purple beam of light shone, the turbulent current gradually stabilized and even began to expand, engulfing the instruments that had originally restricted it.
The purple jade in Midnight's hand seemed to be losing energy as it released its power, and it kept shrinking.
Could it be... that she really has a way to completely eliminate this threat?
A light gradually returned to the three people's eyes; they saw hope!
Finally, as the precious jade in Midnight's hand was completely exhausted and the last trace of purple light disappeared, the Space-Time Turbulence had turned into a square void rift, which looked as if a piece of the starry sky had been cut off and placed on the ground!
"This is... Otherworld Gate?"
Everyone present had crossed the Otherworld Gate before, and they could tell at a glance that this was a standard Otherworld Gate!
This mysterious woman who Ascension-level has succeeded!
No! Not yet!
The stability of the Otherworld Gate did not last long, and it soon fell into a semi-stable and semi-chaotic state. Uncontrollable Space Fluctuation fluctuations spread out, and Midnight, who was closest to it, was hit by the surging turbulence and flew backward, landing right in front of Luo Jun.
Luo Jun hurriedly helped Midnight up, only to find that her body felt light as a feather. Upon closer inspection, her skin was becoming almost translucent, as if it might disappear at any moment...
"What have you done!" At this moment, because Midnight was unable to maintain the distance barrier, the three experts had already escaped. However, they had no time to seek revenge. Instead, they ran straight to the newly formed Otherworld Gate, trying to stabilize it. But with only three Peak experts, they were far too weak. They immediately realized that they were trying to stop a chariot with their bare hands. Seeing that they were about to be swept away by the turbulent current, they could only turn around and run for their lives.
"You broke the balance and destroyed the machine we used to control the Space-Time Turbulence! Do you know how much of a disaster you've caused?!" Roland shouted at Midnight as he passed by. Xu Jiahe and said, "Stop bastarding! Run!" In his desperation, he even shouted in his mother tongue, completely losing his previous refined demeanor.
Watching the three escape, Midnight looked up at Luo Jun: "You've all failed, aren't you going to run?"
"I believe you." Luo Jun looked into Midnight's eyes, and the sincerity in his eyes moved even this Ascension Realm who had experienced countless years.
There was a time when she longed for such unconditional trust, but unfortunately, those she trusted most ultimately abandoned her... Unexpectedly, after many years, she found such pure trust in a young man from another world!
Little did Midnight Ye know that Luo Jun didn't believe in the Chaos Succubus before him, but rather in the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Luo Jun asked.
"What I just said was mostly correct..." Midnight smiled and shook his head, "A new door is about to appear in your world, which was decided long ago. However, there's a small problem with this door, so normally it can't form normally."
"That piece of jade is a spacetime stabilizing device that I left here a long time ago. It was unintentional at the time, but now it can be used to repair the problem with this door."
"So you want to come to the Main World?" Luo Jun frowned. "You knew all along when the gate would appear, and you knew the gate would malfunction, so you wanted to solve this problem by descending through the Midnight Mask?"
Midnight nodded, then glanced at Luo Jun with a hint of reproach. "Unfortunately, someone refused to believe me back then and tried to bargain, which prevented me from descending in my true form. I only have this projection with 10% of my power, so this is all I can do."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Uh..." Luo Jun was a little scared. "If I hadn't kept my promise and brought you to the Main World as soon as possible, it might have caused a major disaster?"
"With your abilities, maintaining stability for three to five months shouldn't be a problem," Midnight said with a smile. "That's why I asked you to bring me here within three months. But any longer, it's hard to say. Your world is very powerful, producing so many experts and immortals in just a hundred years. But correspondingly, you are too young, lacking experience in dealing with too many things."
"You should have told me the truth sooner!" Luo Jun with some regret, "If I had known your purpose was this, I would have cooperated fully..."
"Would you believe that?" Midnight laughed. "Back then, you would only have thought I was taking advantage of someone's vulnerability and using the situation to blackmail them, right?"
"Besides, the life and death of your world is none of my business. I only did it on a whim. If no one appreciates it, I don't care to watch you fend for yourselves."
"Then what are you doing now..." Luo Jun looked at Midnight, whose figure was becoming increasingly transparent and whose breath was becoming increasingly faint.
"This is just a projection after all. If I overuse my power, I'm afraid I'll dissipate prematurely." Midnight laughed, "I expected this, so before coming to do serious business, I had a great time in your city! Thank you for treating me to a movie."
"This is nothing..." Luo Jun waved his hand.
"It might be a small matter for you." Midnight shook her head. "But I haven't had an experience like this in many years. I even ran into your friend. The awkward atmosphere at the time makes me laugh just thinking about it."
"Let's not talk about that..." Luo Jun looked like he couldn't bear to recall it, and checked the time. "Only a dozen hours have passed. If I had known you were going to do something this big, I would have taken you out to play a little longer..."
Midnight smiled and said, "Maybe next time..."
"Okay! Next time I'll take you to more places!" Luo Jun promised. "Ningdong is just an ordinary second-tier city, nothing much to do. I should take you to the Eastern Sea, to Tianjing, to Three Rivers..."
Seeing his serious expression, Midnight sighed softly, "I'm starting to regret agreeing to be your senior sister..."
"Huh?" Luo Jun hadn't reacted yet when he suddenly noticed the Space-Time Turbulence around the door expanding rapidly. "Um, are you sure it's okay?"
"I forgot to mention!" Midnight slapped his forehead. "Although things have stabilized for the time being, this door is still very dangerous because I'm not strong enough. You'd better hurry and escape!"
"What did you say?" Luo Jun's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say something so important sooner?"
"You didn't ask earlier," Midnight said innocently.
"What do we do now?" Luo Jun asked, somewhat panicked as he watched the approaching turbulence.
"I'm definitely out of options in my current state," Midnight shrugged. "But someone should still have a solution."
"Someone's there?" Luo Jun looked around. "Where else could it be...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Midnight suddenly pushed him in the chest, then whispered in his ear, "I'll use my last strength to send you on your way. Don't come back. It's very dangerous here from now on..."
After speaking, Luo Jun felt the scenery in front of him distort and change. When he came to his senses, he found himself in a mountain forest.
They found a high spot, climbed up, and looked out. It seemed to be another small island in the Xing Yue Country, facing the beach where they had landed earlier across the sea. With Luo Jun's keen eyesight, he could even vaguely see the swirling currents expanding in the canyon on the opposite shore...
Midnight's palm strike seemed to have sent them dozens of kilometers away.
But the turbulence continues to expand; where is the "someone" that Midnight spoke of?
Just as Luo Jun was worrying, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura coming from the northwest. Then, a huge figure appeared out of thin air. It was a giant warrior with light wings on his back and wearing plate armor. The Light Spear in his hand pierced directly into the turbulent current!
Yulia, one of the Great Angel of the Holy See! Luo Jun had seen her in battle in [Utopia]!
And it wasn't just her; next, a dazzling moonlight shone down from the night sky, illuminating Yulia and the turbulent currents. Just looking at them from afar, Luo Jun felt a sense of peace.
Then, Luo Jun noticed that a cold current swept out, freezing the entire valley around the turbulent flow. From a distance, it looked as if a large glacier had been instantly created on this tropical island!
Clearly, there was more than one Feather Transformation present!
Luo Jun suddenly remembered that the three official experts had mentioned that a Feather Transformation was on his way. It turned out that it wasn't just a bluff!
In this light, it makes sense that Midnight so blatantly barged into the experimental field and even spent some extra time "playing" with those three!
She gave the officials more time to report! She knew that relying on only 10% of her projection was not enough to completely solve the problem, so she only dealt with the most crucial part and left the rest to the Main World's Feather Transformation for maintenance!
As expected of a Chaos monster that has lived for thousands of years, what a cunning scheme...
Luo Jun pursed his lips, then secretly went around to the other side of the mountain and took out his Teleportation Staff.
Now that Feather Transformation has already arrived as a group, there's no need for him to worry about this anymore; he should just hurry up and call it a day!
