"Play it safe, play it safe again."
"Don't rush, there must be something fishy about this."
"The claim of being severely injured is a lie."
Jiegeng said with a hint of teasing, looking at Tiana lying in the upright hull. "Isn't this what you always liked to say? You don't seem to be taking things easy right now, and you seem to be in a hurry. Why are you in such a hurry?"
There are always some things that come above all else.
Under the watchful gaze of the Beast of the End, Tiana, whose magical armor was beginning to mutate, declared righteously, "I can take risks, but I cannot be the one to take risks!"
"Is it that we can sacrifice ourselves, but we cannot be sacrificed?"
"Same meaning."
"Not at all."
For Tiana, adventure and death were indeed pretty much the same.
From the moment he started attacking Senior Sister Bai Mei, every step he took was like walking a tightrope. Even dealing with Yarrow required waiting for Jiegeng's second personality to appear.
Of course, all of this can be calculated. Even if they fail, neither Yarrow nor Senior Sister Bai Mei will necessarily kill Zhiji.
After all, they were from the same sect, and according to sect rules, she should generally be sent to Lord Bingtang Tang's place, although that would be no different from being dead.
Most importantly, accept the gaze of the Beast of the End.
Nobody knows what the outcome will be.
"Are you sure it's okay?"
As Tiana's magical armor was corrupted by dark magic, the once beautiful patterns began to mutate into eyeballs.
In no time, the entire magical outfit became incredibly eerie.
"Your entire outfit could be used to make beads."
Countless eyes opened and closed repeatedly, flashing with an eerie light, and their pupils swayed dramatically from side to side, constantly looking around as if they were alive, but they were all unsettling to behold.
As soon as Jiegeng spoke, all those eyes immediately turned to her.
This made Jiegeng frown.
"Isn't it unnecessary to go to such lengths for the Dream Hatchers? You were kicked out of the Qing Dreamers from the very beginning, and your own world is long gone. Is it really necessary to take such a risk? You don't even abide by your own principles—"
"When did I say I was Dream Hatchers?"
"You said that yourself at the Fengqin, didn't you?"
"Oh, you mean this?" Tiana smiled, her eyes narrowing with delight. "If we don't do this, we won't be able to get the method to summon the Beast of the End."
Jiegeng sighed and said, "Although I also feel that with the sect leader around, there's no need to worry about any risks, if the summoned trouble causes losses, Lord Bingtang won't let you off the hook, considering the reputation of the righteous leader."
"Please plead for me."
"No way, I don't want to get scolded," Jiegeng said calmly. "I don't want to be disliked by Lady Bingtang either."
"Never mind, as long as the sect leader is satisfied, he'll plead with Lord Bingtang on my behalf."
Tiana said as if she had expected this, "But it's strange, I heard Jiegeng your second personality was created after you were assimilated by the Calamity Beast, right? The Calamity Beast is vicious, cruel, and belligerent. How could the Sect Master agree to let your second personality, which was infected by the Calamity Beast, appear as your primary personality?"
Jiegeng, who was nearly killed after being assimilated by Calamity Beast, has had the problem of having two personalities since being taken in by the Azure Cloud Sect.
Although the Azure Cloud Sect later managed to suppress it, the second personality persisted.
Looking at the polite, rational, and kind Jiegeng, Tiana couldn't help but wonder how the sect could allow that violent and warlike Calamity Beast personality to remain dominant.
"Because I am the second personality formed after the consciousness of the Calamity Beast merged with hers."
Jiegeng smiled slightly and explained, "The Sect Master and Lord Bingtang Tang naturally wouldn't allow me to appear as the main personality."
Tiana froze, her pupils appearing vacant. "Your foul-mouthed, violent, and belligerent madman personality—"
"That's just how Jiegeng are."
Tiana fell silent.
You're even worse than Calamity Beast! Jiegeng!
For a moment, they were speechless.
Then Tiana looked down and saw that the entire Chongxu was silent, including those from the Holy Church, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, the Azure Cloud Sect, the Hami Branch, the Chongxu Pseudo-Type, and those passing by from other worlds.
All the magical girls have turned to stone.
But the most special sect leader is the Magical Girl Shion.
It simply disappeared.
Tiana didn't Dao Sect had avoided the impact, and she didn't think too much about it, because she was only relying on the Personal Reality enhancement device of the entire Chongxu to keep her Personal Reality from collapsing under the impact of the Beast of the End.
That was already the limit of what she had done.
Indeed, the reason Tiana chose to perform the summoning ritual at Chongxu was because of the personal enhancement device here that had intrigued her from the very beginning. This device connected everyone's Personal Reality and ultimately transferred the data to one person.
Previously, a single heart was enough to maintain its vitality and exist eternally through Personal Reality.
Now she has grafted all these Personal Reality onto herself, and not only Chongxu, but also the people of the New World are enveloped in Chongxu's device.
A broader, more intense Personal Reality is needed to ensure that one does not lose oneself under the gaze of the Beast of the End.
However, it was clear that she had underestimated the power of the Beast of the End.
The gaze of the End constantly shook her Personal Reality. Only at the beginning could she be barely anchored by the Personal Reality of all living beings, but she was like a small boat in Hurricane, swaying uncertainly.
Soon, as the time spent staring increased, one's own Personal Reality was completely alienated.
Not only was he completely alienated, but the power from the Beast of the End began to influence others according to his own Personal Reality!
Tiana swiftly severed the connection to Chongxu's Personal Reality enhancement device.
Having lost much of her support, that alienation instantly engulfed her.
Tiana, who was originally just covered in eyeballs in her magical armor, suddenly found that her hands and feet no longer belonged to her head, and her torso was constantly turning into indescribable things. Her head lost its support and slowly sank into her melting body, looking utterly disgusting.
Jiegeng, who had been talking to her, paused slightly, then sighed regretfully, "I knew it was too risky. Such a risky plan isn't suitable for you, my dear friend Tiana."
Jiegeng didn't seem to care about Tiana's death. She reached out, opened the hatch, and took out Tiana's head. There were eyes on her ears, forehead, mouth, and even the back of her head and neck. Just holding it made her feel nauseous.
"I will give you a proper burial and plead for your life. I hope that Bingtang and the Sect Master will agree to let you be buried in the Azure Cloud Sect's toilet. So go in peace, my poor dearest friend Tiana."
But then Tiana, now only a head, laughed, a laugh that Jiegeng found rather strange.
Then Tiana opened her mouth, and eyes even opened in her tongue and throat, staring at Jiegeng. But even with so many eyes in her mouth, Tiana still couldn't stop herself from speaking, "I am nothing more than an ordinary, unremarkable avatar—"
A hand grabbed her wrist and then took the head from her hand.
Jiegeng turned her head to look at the other Tiana who had reappeared, and then glanced at the completely mutated flesh and blood filled with eyeballs inside the hull.
Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Didn't you say you were going to take the risks yourself?"
The person who appeared was Tiana, a blonde, blue-eyed girl who raised the head of her avatar, which was covered in eyeballs. "I only said that dealing with Senior Sister Bai Mei required personal risk-taking, but I never said that dealing with Yarrow required using my true form."
"In that case, the sect leader must have realized it too, right? Your score in your duel with Senior Sister Yarrow is likely to drop."
"We never expected to improve the rating this way from the beginning."
Tiana gazed leisurely at the head in her hand, the eyeballs quickly spreading from the head to her body—or rather, she actively attracted those eyeballs to her own body.
Eyeballs began to appear on the demonic armor, just like before; the bizarre mutation began to spread across her body.
"I bet it's just another ordinary avatar this time?"
"No, it's a real person."
Jiegeng then realized that those eyeballs no longer posed a risk of going out of control on Tiana.
The originally cold and eerie eyeballs have now been transformed into cute, anime-style big eyes, changing the art style and adding a touch of cuteness.
It's hard to imagine that Jiegeng would one day say that the eyes on a person's body are cute.
There weren't that many of them, and they looked like they were wearing colored contact lenses, with just the right amount of vibrant colors.
"Okay, that's good enough."
Tiana smiled. "I'm almost ready to stand before the Sect Master."
Although Jiegeng couldn't sense the opponent's strength, she knew when Tiana said it was about time.
The probability should be very high.
"Your plan has less than a 50% chance of success, right?"
"The so-called risk of less than fifty percent is just something shown to the sect leader." Tiana felt the fusion of Filthy Magic Power and pure magic, followed by the control of the World Bubble.
"Moreover, among the four conditions, the key is how to control the situation so that the Beast of the End merely observes rather than descends. This is where the probability truly falls below fifty percent. I'm sure the Sect Master has already realized this."
As she spoke, Tiana began to skillfully control the fusion magic using the World Bubble.
Although Yarrow was the first among the Seven True Disciples to learn how to control the World Bubble, Tiana kept asking Yarrow how she did it - in the Azure Cloud Sect, the sect leader and Lord Bingtang Tang always encouraged such exchanges.
After constantly learning and pursuing the Yarrow, I finally managed to barely master the use of the World Bubble.
With the fusion of the two magical powers, and as Master said—only one more is needed to use the World Bubble Second Transformation.
We'll show it to the sect leader then.
"By using an external avatar to withstand the gaze of the Beast of the End, and then using the external avatar as a transit point to grasp and control the power of the Beast of the End, the success rate is 98%. Although it's a bit low, it's enough."
Okay, normally speaking, 98% is the limit that Tiana can accept.
"Even so, the chances of success aren't high, are they? This is a test directly against the sect leader, you know? The sect leader is always strict; if you don't perform well, all your efforts will be in vain."
Jiegeng warned again, "Why not just summon the Beast of the End? Or are you afraid that the Sect Master will lose to the Beast of the End, causing him to destroy the entire world?"
"Of course not."
Tiana stated matter-of-factly, "The sect leader dislikes beast taming techniques."
After a long silence, Jiegeng realized that her defense was flawless.
That's right, the sect leader hates beast taming the most. If someone were to summon a Beast of the End to fight the sect leader, they would definitely fail and might even be kicked out of Azure Cloud.
"Too meticulous, too cautious." Jiegeng could only exclaim in admiration, "As expected of you."
All eyes instantly locked onto the location of the sect leader in the distant New World. Tiana took a deep breath.
"Then let's begin, the final adventure!"
Why not just summon the Beast of the End?
Does this girl even know how to play?
Jiang Si sensed the space created by Tiana herself, who controlled the power of the Beast of the End —a complete replica of Chongxu and the New World. However, apart from this, no other worlds were copied, so anomalies could be discovered simply by exploring it.
The whole world was silent.
Just as he was about to step on the air and keep jumping upwards, intending to jump into the wider universe.
Black Keke's voice suddenly appeared in my ear.
"Are you alright, Jiang Si? The End come, this is troublesome----"
"It wasn't an arrival," Jiang Si immediately refuted her words, "It was just watching this way."
"Uh, how did you know?"
"Because everything has four elements!" Jiang Si said confidently, "Since ancient times, anyone Seeking Gold has failed without at least four methods!"
"Cultivators of the Purple Gold Dao gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to Qi Refinement, dismantle the six chakras to form the foundation of immortality, and ascend to the Purple Mansion Palace with supernatural powers in their mouths. After passing the threshold of the Purple Immortal, they achieve the perfection of the five supernatural powers and Seeking Gold."
" The Chain-Form Dao cultivator uses his own true energy as a foundation, supports his sea of consciousness, and ascends in a chain-like form. He enters the Foundation Establishment Realm to build the foundation for the Great Dao Immortal, merging it with his soul. He then uses the four Heavenly and Earthly Medicines to achieve the Five Methods, supporting his soul to seek the Golden Position."
"Cultivators of the Qi Ingestion Dao absorb true Qi to enter the Dao, thereby forging a foundation for the Dao Foundation. Transforming this Dao Foundation into supernatural powers results in the Purple Mansion. Once the four supernatural powers of the Purple Mansion Divine Ability Perfection, one can seek the Golden Rank."
"I observe that the conditions for the End four align with the imagery of the Qi Ingestion Dao [all things are four], therefore I conclude that she has not yet achieved the perfection of the four methods."
Jiang Si said decisively, "There should be one more of those four conditions missing, otherwise, if we succeed in Seeking Gold, things definitely wouldn't be like this."
"My current state is merely that of achieving the Three Divine Powers, reaching the Late Purple Mansion realm, and attracting the attention of those in the Gold Rank!"
Black Keke: "Who would understand that? The Keke here is so pitiful—"
I've seen this a lot in online novels. Tiana probably got halfway through a certain condition, which attracted the attention of the Beast of the End, but didn't summon it directly.
It only allowed a portion of the Beast of the End's power to descend.
However, it is clear that this approach is very risky, because in terms of the result, it is more like using the body of the Purple Mansion to falsely hold the Golden Position.
The subsequent costs will likely be substantial.
After all, when the [ Wheel and Sea Realm ] was established, its true meaning was actually the [ Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven Realm ], which was originally intended as preparation for Seeking Gold.
Although Tiana has already possessed the Purple Mansion Mental Image and advanced to the Wheel and Sea Realm, the risk is still comparable to dying from directly Full Bloom.
It was somewhat reckless, but Jiang Si was willing to look at Tiana differently because of it.
Having achieved this, he admitted that Tiana was indeed one of the Seven True Disciples, possessing far more courage and potential than he had imagined.
However, we'll have to wait and see how it all turns out.
If such a huge commotion is made and such a great price is paid, in the end it will only amount to Xiao Yu raindrop.
Even if Bingtang objects, he will still completely expel Tiana from Azure Cloud.
Taking risks is permitted only if one is willing to bear the consequences.
Unless they can demonstrate strength that satisfies Jiang Si.
"Never mind, we'll talk about that later." As she pondered, Black Keke's voice came through, though her tone was serious. "You've probably been separated from this place by the power of the Beast of the End. The place you're in, both in time and space, is completely different from here. But don't worry, I'll bring you back soon—"
Why go back?
Black Keke's voice faltered, "Huh?"
"The spacetime here is perfectly compatible with my two Dao Fruit."
Jiang Si even revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation, "As long as I can thoroughly comprehend it here, the Dao Fruit of controlling time and space will be within my grasp!"
"Wait, where did you get this Dao Fruit from? What are you talking about? I don't understand! What is the Great Dao? I don't understand a word you're saying!"
Jiang Si started smashing things wildly in the surrounding space!
Dense spatial rifts began to fill the sky above the entire New World!
"I've got it pretty much figured out."
"What do you know?!" Black Keke n't help but yell, then took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Although he's become increasingly impulsive since meeting Jiang Si, "Fine, we'll assume you've mastered the Space Dao Fruit. So, how do you plan to master the Time Dao Fruit?"
You can break through space with force.
How can you control time with brute force?
"If you're so capable, then smash open the time!"
Jiang Si sneered, "Heh, you ignorant brat from the Reincarnation System."
"As Great Celestial Venerable Kong Li once said, power is space!"
Black Keke: "You said it yourself!"
"And the Celestial Venerable Taiyi is—"
"Quick learning is all about time!"
Then, Black Keke saw Jiang Si move—although they were in different times and spaces, Black Keke actually see what was happening on Jiang Si's side.
Despite countless reincarnations, her strength hasn't increased significantly, but she has quite a few minor abilities and magical spells to deal with various unexpected situations.
The moment Jiang Si took her first step, the cracks in the ground had already spread for ten miles!
The flying dust and sand came to a standstill in the air.
In the second step, the afterimages solidified into a series of figures.
The speed and strength of his body were pushed to the limit, and the image began to blur as Jiang Si ran.
The boy, who had surpassed sound and was running at near-light speed, gradually surpassed his own shadow from the previous second.
Then, he ran into a bend that no one had ever set foot in before.
He transcended light.
Under the rapid processing of ceramic particles, air has transformed into a solid far harder than steel drills, capable of shattering a human body into dust.
However, Jiang Si's physical body transcended everything, like a tireless bull, fiercely and relentlessly smashing through the air wall!
He ran, running into the previous second of the past.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth...
As Jiang Si's learning speed increased, Black Keke horrified to discover that everything in her field of vision was indeed flowing!
The light begins to shine back, fallen leaves fly from the soil back to the branches, raindrops rise back into the clouds, and the sand and dust return to the earth.
This guy actually defied time with brute force!
After a long time, Jiang Si, who had smashed a mountain peak to pieces and evaporated most of the sea, finally stopped ten seconds after running back to the past.
Even with the sudden stop, the air is still torn apart by inertia, and space and time continue to flow backward!
Fun fact: The creature in front of us that surpasses time by running is a type of...
Black Keke was dumbfounded, feeling as if even her own memories were going back in time.
Jiang Si clenched her fist, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"That's right, it's just a feeling. I can feel it, I'm getting more and more familiar with it, the feeling of controlling time."
1
Does exceeding the time limit mean you've mastered it?
Black Keke suddenly felt like a country bumpkin who was unfamiliar with everything, as she could hardly understand Jiang Si's actions.
"I can't believe I have a brother like Zi. Is Zi the ultimate safety net after a thousand reincarnations? ----"
Black Keke sighed, "It just doesn't quite look like it, bro."
"I am True Immortal."
"Really Body Integration with an immortal? And it's still a bow in the end? I feel like you've surpassed them, bro----"
Jiang Si ignored it, and suddenly looked up at the sky.
His expression was full of anticipation and determination.
Is it coming?
A magical girl with eyes wide open is rapidly pleading for help!
"Don't let me down, Tiana."
Suddenly, wings unfurled behind him. Just as Jiang Si was about to rush forward in celebration, Black Keke cried out, "Be careful! That guy has been assimilated; he's the Beast of the End!"
Jiang Si simply said, "It's alright, I've found it."
Black Keke was stunned for a moment. "What?"
" The Beast of the End on the ground."
"Ah?"
From the very beginning, after learning that the Beast of the End needed certain conditions to descend.
The Witch Shion was determined to go and confront them directly.
It doesn't make sense that it has to come to us, but we can't go to it ourselves.
If Kou can go, so can I!
Since Jiang Si wants to destroy the world of Bian, then he will destroy the world in which Bian exists beforehand!
Reciprocity is key.
Moreover, she could vaguely sense that the desolate land she had seen earlier, Keke with the pitiful sight of Coco, was the land of the Beast of the End.
That roar undoubtedly came from the Beast of the End.
The oppressive aura and imposing presence that even the Witch Shion felt was almost identical to the one summoned by Tiana.
Regardless of what happened in the Chongxu and the New World, the Witch Shion had no intention of returning. She continued to search for and explore the Great Tomb of Keke, which she had seen before.
Until Tiana successfully summoned the gaze of the Beast of the End.
When that power connected with Tiana, the Witch Shion instantly traced its source along the direction from which it descended.
However, in reality, it was just a return to that fragrant land filled with Keke corpses.
She searched the world around Keke's corpse, but couldn't find the source of the leaked power anywhere.
So Da Xi opened his Mental Image and encompassed all the Keke corpses and the entire space within his Mental Image.
When one's Mental Image comes into contact with the area of change, it triggers a strong reaction!
Then a pleasant female voice rang out.
"Huh."
The voice even sounded somewhat familiar, but the Witch Shion couldn't immediately place it.
"Isn't Zi a world I devoured from the past?"
Before the Witch Shion could react, space suddenly distorted.
Then, in a strange, bright light, the Witch Shion felt herself walk into a passage filled with eyes.
Each eye reflects a complete world.
Soon she saw a missing pupil.
The incomplete pupils reflected the ordinary world Jiang Si once lived in, a world devoid of any miracles.
The missing piece was a piece of orchid that Shion had forcibly dug out from that other world during the Mental Landscape Trial!
"So it was here with you."
Accompanied by pleasant sounds, the passage came to an end.
The Witch Shion saw a real flower world, where a girl sat amidst the vibrant, colorful blossoms.
She was reaching out to gently stroke the flower.
Only when the Witch Shion arrived did the girl slightly turn her head to look over.
"Can I have that piece back?"
The Witch Shion stared at the other person for a long while before finally moving her lips slightly.
" Iris?"
