Chapter 165
These words were like a clear spring, washing over Li Yang's mind and instantly calming her down.
Li Yang closed her eyes and opened them again, only to see Li Qingchen once more.
At this moment, Li Qingchen stared at her, his face pale, not daring to move an inch.
Li Yang pressed the Chen Ri against his neck.
He was just a hair's breadth away from having his throat slit.
With a crash, Li Yang Chen Ri her grip on Chen Ri.
Chen Ri transformed into Mecha Doll and stood beside Li Yang, looking at her with concern.
Li Yang's back was soaked with cold sweat, and her hands were trembling so badly that she could hardly describe what she had just witnessed.
What is going on?
Is it a hallucination?
[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 700 years.]
"Lianxin... what exactly happened just now...?"
"Fellow Daoist, do not doubt yourself! He did come, but then he left."
Li Yang was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.
That wasn't an illusion; the Flower of Evil had truly become Li Qingchen.
But after Li Yang regained consciousness, the Flower of Evil disappeared, and Li Qingchen returned.
What's this?
What exactly happened?
Even though Li Yang was usually calm and composed, his Spirit Sea was now churning with turbulent waves, making it difficult for him to find peace.
"Senior brother..."
"No need to say more!" Li Qingchen said immediately, "I know you wouldn't hurt me, it must be this awful place that interfered with your judgment."
Li Yang's emotions calmed down a bit after hearing Li Qingchen's words. She said softly, "I just saw the Flower of Evil."
The moment those words were spoken, Li Qingchen changed his demeanor again. He smiled gently, as if he were looking at his beloved lover, his eyes filled with Li Yang.
Flower of Evil!
Why did he appear again?!
"Fellow Daoist! This is Fellow Daoist Li!"
"Can..."
"Believe me!"
Li Yang tried very hard to accept that the person in front of her was Li Qingchen, but the more she thought about it, the harder it was for her to accept.
The Flower of Evil said softly, "Why bother... Who I am, does it matter? Don't you want to see what's really happening in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain?"
Li Yang: "Get out of Li Qingchen's body!"
Flower of Evil: "I am not inside his body."
Li Yang stared intently at him, as if trying to tear away his gentle facade and reveal the disgusting spores within.
The Flower of Evil sighed softly and said, "I am in your heart, that's why you can see me."
Li Yang's heart pounded. In that instant, she even wanted to tear open her chest cavity, dig out her heart, and remove the spores that had settled there.
The Flower of Evil placed its hand on her chest and slowly said, "I won't hurt you, and I can't hurt you... You have a contract with Lianxin, how could I possibly harm you?"
"You don't need to worry. As long as you don't make a move, Li Qingchen won't die. I brought you here just to let you see... what exactly happened here."
Having said that, he didn't wait for Li Yang's response.
The Flower of Evil looked at the stunned White Fungus Race, gazing at them gently with pity in his eyes. "Even if it costs you everything, will you still try to break through these heavy clouds?"
The White Fungus King knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "Divine Venerable! I beg you! I am willing to give anything, as long as you can let my people see the light!"
The Flower of Evil said softly, "Alright, I'll grant your wish."
In an instant, countless spores surged out.
To the White Fungus Race, each of these spores was as large as a cannonball, surging forth from an unknown source, each radiating a terrifyingly abundant Power of Starlight.
The leading White Fungus King suddenly had its Star Aperture filled, and then a second, a third...
Behind her, the White Fungus Elders also began to sprout one or two Star Aperture their bodies...
The surviving White Fungus Race possessed immense power, and they charged headlong into the thick, all-encompassing "clouds" without hesitation.
Break free from the shackles!
Shatter the heavens!
They didn't want to die in this dark, sunless underground; they wanted to live in the sunlight, in a wider world!
This scene was extremely shocking.
The White Fungus Race, now possessing "divine power," charged towards the heavy flowers above.
Like a locust swarm, these thumb-sized white fungi, with their astonishing numbers and terrifying momentum, started from the black hole where Li Yang and Li Qingchen fell, and forcibly tore and devoured a narrow passage leading to the sky.
Chapter 165
Li Yang felt her perspective constantly shifting, as if she had grown larger again from a shrunken state.
The White Fungus Race small, but numerous.
The spores of the Flower of Evil activated the power within them, giving them the possibility of breaking through the sea of thousands of flowers.
At first, a narrow hole was drilled out, and then a dazzling light pierced through.
The white fungus, bathed in light, underwent a mutation.
White fungi don't need much sunlight; they can survive well in humid environments.
However, the Star Wielders needs the Power of Starlight.
The leader of the White Fungus Race did not crave sunlight, but rather the immense Power of Starlight.
With just a single Star Aperture, she transcended all white fungi, becoming a supreme being.
She was tired of the damp environment; she wanted to see the light; she needed more Power of Starlight.
Not only her, but all members of the White Fungus Race who embarked on cultivation experienced this desire.
As the sunlight fell, the weak White Fungus Race, unable to withstand the onslaught, instantly turned to ashes.
The surging Power of Starlight filled the Star Aperture of the White Fungus King and the elders of the White Fungus Race once again.
Li Yang felt that time was passing very quickly.
It was as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button, showing Li Yang at super-fast speed how the White Fungus Race grew and eventually became extinct.
As the sun set, the weaker members of the White Fungus Race did not receive [the sunlight].
Redemption
Instead, it turned to ashes on the spot.
Those White Fungus Race yearned for the immense Power of Starlight evolved through cultivation and eventually migrated to the flowers.
This was undoubtedly the most glorious era for the White Fungus Race.
They defied fate and became the rulers of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain!
However, this period of good fortune did not last long.
When a Fifth Grade Realm Star Wielders from another Realm Domain accidentally arrived in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, the rule of the White Fungus Race came to an end.
He unexpectedly discovered this tiny tribe.
The White Fungus King was only at the Third Grade Realm. It was precisely because he advanced to the Third Grade that the coordinates of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain were exposed.
The Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is filled with astonishing Power of Starlight, which comes from the Starlight that bloom in competition but have no sentience!
The White Fungus Race realized there were invaders and quickly deployed their forces to repel them.
This Fifth Grade Realm Star Wielders was actually forced out of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain by them.
The White Fungus Race is having a nationwide celebration!
However, Li Yang could see clearly that the Star Wielders had not been driven away, but had returned to his own Realm Domain with great joy in his eyes.
He would tell his family, and his Realm Domain, that he had discovered a "small Realm Domain" rich in Starlight.
Next, the Star Wielders's family only sent two Grandmaster, yet they wiped out the White Fungus Race and took over the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.
However, this family did not maintain control of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain for long.
Another Star Wielders has discovered this place.
The relentless battles have left the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain riddled with holes.
Thousands of flowers, in the end, all wither and fade.
That fairytale-like sea of flowers has been transformed into a hellish landscape.
The flowers have faded, and the intense Power of Starlight has also dimmed.
The invaders came, looted wildly, and then left.
Over countless years of ravages, the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain has become one of the most notorious Realm Domain in the Astral Realm.
The image freezes, Li Yang seems to be in a blank state.
The Flower of Evil sighed, "This is the price of praying for the gods to descend."
The Flower of Evil granted power to the White Fungus Race.
The price he paid was the entire Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.
The White Fungus King, who prayed for divine intervention in the dark and damp land, could never have imagined that the price of Divine Descent would be so heavy.
Li Yang felt her head buzzing, unable to bear the weight of this history spanning millions of years.
She looked at the Flower of Evil, trying to remain rational. "Why are you making me see this?"
The Flower of Evil smiled and said, "How cold-hearted! Such a beautiful Realm Domain has fallen. Don't you feel sorry for it?"
Li Yang calmly replied, "Flowers bloom and wither, life and death are simply the natural process."
The Flower of Evil murmured, "As expected of the Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer."
He suppressed his smile and said calmly, "By the way, that White Fungus King is also a Heavenly Fortune Bearer."
Li Yang: "!"
Flower of Evil: "Only those with Heavenly Fortune Bearer can pray for Divine Descent, and every true Divine Descent will lead to the destruction of a Realm Domain."
Li Yang said coldly, "Then, this Realm Domain will become your breeding ground."
Flower of Evil: "Yes, the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is now overflowing with malice, and this is the nourishment that sustains me."
Li Yang vaguely understood the Flower of Flower of Evil's intention.
She felt a chill run down her spine, and cold sweat seeped from her palms, yet she still couldn't comprehend the Flower of Flower of Evil's thought process, "You showed me all this, how could I possibly pray for Divine Descent!"
"You will," the Flower of Evil gazed intently at her, as if she could see through all her thoughts, her voice as gentle as a lover's whisper, "For example, when you want to destroy a Realm Domain."
After saying this, the figure of the Flower of Flower of Evil faded away.
The empty space before me is constantly cracking.
Li Yang felt a wave of dizziness, and when she opened her eyes again, she heard Lianxin's voice.
Fellow Daoist!
