Chapter 348: Gong Xing's Secret, The End World

Chapter 348: Gong Xing's Secret, The End World

"Is there a possibility that the law could change and those lending companies go bankrupt?" asked Jin Sique earnestly.

Jin Sique was always able to keep up with Qi Yuan's train of thought, no matter the topic.

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement, "You make a good point. So, whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's not something I caused. It might just be fate."

"So, no matter what you do, it won't be wrong," Jin Sique's beautiful eyes seemed to twinkle with stars as she echoed Qi Yuan's words.

"You too," Qi Yuan was also good at being a broken record.

He then opened another chat app on his phone.

It was filled with all sorts of useless information and holiday greetings from acquaintances.

Among them, there was a message from a classmate sent seven months ago: "Are you there? I'm a bit tight on money, old classmate."

Then, after a day of silence, another message followed.

"You're so realistic. I didn't really want to borrow money; I just haven't contacted my old classmate in a long time, so I was asking casually..."

After that, there was a series of lengthy messages.

Seven days later, another message arrived in the middle of the night.

"I'm in a bind and need some financial help. Considering our many years of friendship, could you lend me some money? It's not much, just three thousand!"

Qi Yuan was speechless after reading these messages.

"What's this all about?" he muttered.

After a brief moment of complaint, Qi Yuan directly blocked and deleted this classmate from his contacts.

He continued to browse through his social media apps.

Suddenly, a private message caught his attention.

"Jin Sique, do you think this person has a secret crush on me?"

Qi Yuan handed his phone to Jin Sique.

Jin Sique widened her eyes, shaking off her initial drowsiness as her spirits lifted, "Let this young miss take a look and I'll vet it for you!"

On Qi Yuan's phone, there was indeed a private message.

This private message was sent on the very day Qi Yuan and Jin Sique registered their marriage.

Back then, Qi Yuan had boasted about it but didn't pay much attention afterward.

However, someone had replied to that post.

The message was simple.

"Congratulations on your marriage."

In just six words, Qi Yuan seemed to see through the screen a person on the other end who was trying to hide their sadness behind a forced smile.

"They must have a secret crush on me; otherwise, why would they spend money to send me a private message wishing me a happy marriage?

Sigh, it's not good to have too much charm; no matter where I go, there are always some fangirls." Qi Yuan's expression was calm, but he seemed a bit irritated.

After all, he had some social anxiety.

But his good looks and charm were undeniable.

What if he became an internet celebrity? That would be so annoying.

"Haha, it might not be a fangirl but a fanboy," Jin Sique clicked on the sender's profile and, after watching some of their past videos, made her judgment.

"A guy?" Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback. "A devious little femboy, how terrifying! This isn't the land of Shu, how did I end up encountering this?"

Qi Yuan felt annoyed.

His sexual orientation had always been perfectly normal.

"Anyway, forget about that. Jin Sique, transfer some spiritual energy to me. I want to break through and enter the Divine Infancy Realm quickly."

At this moment, Qi Yuan's gaze rested on Jin Sique's moist lips.

For Qi Yuan, his martial arts cultivation couldn't lag, and his immortal cultivation also needed to keep up.

Enhancing his strength in all aspects, after all, would benefit his original body.

In this game, Qi Yuan hadn't put much effort into his immortal cultivation; it was rather sloppy. Still, the realm advancement was indeed helpful.

Although his Divine Infancy Realm in this game wasn't as powerful as the one in the Canglan Realm, which could effortlessly slaughter mythical beings.

But slaying the Purple Mansion was a breeze.

"Okay," Jin Sique said as she looked at Qi Yuan, swallowing a mouthful of saliva and leaning closer to him.

The sweet spiritual energy, like a mountain and sea, accompanied by her delicate tongue, entered Qi Yuan's mouth.

Qi Yuan closed his eyes and instinctively wrapped his arms around Jin Sique's waist.

"No wonder everyone loves cultivating immortality; who could refuse this kind of feeling?"

That night, Qi Yuan embraced Jin Sique as he officially stepped into the Divine Infancy Realm.

Two days later, Qi Yuan opened his eyes, revealing a joyful expression.

"All the divine embryos have finally appeared."

At this moment, he examined his body and found over four thousand divine embryos within.

These divine embryos were all formed in the Mortal Heart Realm.

"It's a pity that my body in this game is too weak to unleash the full power of these divine embryos," Qi Yuan thought.

Long ago, Qi Yuan had discovered that his game character was like his "spirit."

If translated into a more understandable term, it would be his soul.

But this "soul" was somewhat unusual, no different from an ordinary person.

And with each new world, it was always weak.

That's why Qi Yuan only referred to it as his spirit.

The Divine Embryos were different from the Stellar Golden Core.

The Stellar Golden Core hung in the universe, and as long as one's spiritual power was sufficient, they could summon its projection at any time.

The Divine Embryos were different.

Their power was too overwhelming.

If unleashed, his 'Martial Spirit' couldn't withstand it.

Therefore, these Divine Embryos, in their current state, couldn't be transformed into his battle prowess in this world.

However...

A profound look appeared in Qi Yuan's eyes, "This world is truly a massive breeding ground for deities and demons!"

The previous Wu Qi, and the A Ji siblings he found in Wu Gui Country, both had unique bloodlines. Qi Yuan could send the Divine Embryos within him to reside in their bodies in the form of an old grandpa and grandma.

With their strength, Qi Yuan's Divine Embryos would gradually awaken completely, eventually returning to their original realm, or even advancing further.

It could be said that each of Qi Yuan's 4752 Divine Embryos was extremely terrifying, with a profound foundation and possessing... the potential to reach the Yang Immortal realm.

One might even say that ordinary Yang Immortals were merely their starting point.

For example, the old man among the Thunder God Venerables, Lei Gong, had once contemplated the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Voice Profound Transformation Venerable, and later even contemplated one of the Six Imperial Lords, the Southern Celestial Eternal Birth Emperor.

Such a foundation could be said to look down upon all the heavens.

Not to mention, this kind of contemplation wasn't without reason.

The energy consumed by this contemplation came from the mysterious energy within the ancient Mara Clan's ruins.

Those ruins had an astonishing origin.

Even Yin Immortal Venerables could only be considered malnourished, requiring the consumption of divine realm elixirs, specifically the Zhazhuang Wenhe Oral Liquid, to barely develop normally and establish a divine realm, akin to a regular child.

Hmm, although Jin Si Que possessed the strength of a Thunder God Venerable, in that world, she was just... hmm, underage? Or perhaps, newly adult.

At this moment, within Qi Yuan, 4752 Divine Embryos floated in his inner world, extremely tranquil.

They were like fragile infants, or perhaps embryos.

But Qi Yuan knew that if any one of them were to emerge, they could turn this world upside down.

"It seems I need to find them some hosts to nurture them."

Qi Yuan muttered to himself.

If he were to nurture each of his Divine Embryos in this world and have them enter the Yang Immortal realm, how terrifying would that be?

Would he even need to fight himself?

With a single offering of the Divine Embryos, four thousand Yang Immortals would appear.

Are you a Yang Immortal of Grand Radiance Palace?

Are you the Great Tribulation?

Are you a Yang Immortal of the Mara Clan?

Qi Yuan held grudges, and these three great enemies were all recorded in his little notebook.

"In the world of the Bloodline Ancestor, there are over a hundred... corpses.

Hmm, as the saying goes, falling petals aren't without emotion, turning into spring mud to nurture the flowers."

Your descendants transformed into demons and ambushed me.

Shouldn't you atone for your descendants' sins by nurturing... my Divine Embryos?"

Qi Yuan closed his eyes.

At this moment, in the unknown world, in every corner, there were scattered bones and broken bodies, all of them emitting flickering bloodlight.

Qi Yuan used the remnant spirits of his innate seeds to locate their coordinates.

In a 6191 book, there wasn't a single mistake!

He was going to send his Divine Embryos there.

Those broken bones were all nourishing supplements, perfect for nurturing divine souls.

Countless spiritual power surged, and the sun above seemed to flicker. Qi Yuan exerted all his strength to send his Divine Embryos to that world.

This sending was like a secret passage.

But even so, the obstruction was still immense, and Qi Yuan's spiritual power continued to be consumed.

"It's no use, the obstruction is too great, my spiritual power isn't enough."

Qi Yuan rarely showed such seriousness.

At this moment, he had to seek help from his wife.

"Jin Si Que, lend me some spiritual power!" Qi Yuan was especially grateful that Jin Si Que was right by his side.

At the same time, he felt that eating soft rice was truly delicious.

Especially eating soft rice from a beauty like Jin Si Que.

"Husband, I'm here." Ning Tao appeared in a silk skirt, her delicate body faintly visible.

Without any flirtatious banter, her soft lips landed directly on Qi Yuan's mouth.

Vast spiritual power continuously flowed into him.

Qi Yuan felt revitalized, his spirit and kidneys invigorated.

The surging spiritual power continuously pulled the Divine Embryos, smuggling them to that unknown world.

"Finally... succeeded with one, let's do another!"

A delighted expression appeared in Ning Tao's eyes, as if helping Qi Yuan solve his problems was an extremely happy thing.

...

The black seawater stretched endlessly for tens of thousands of miles.

Here, there was only silence.

Occasionally, one could see tattered wooden fragments or torn robes.

However, garbage collectors probably wouldn't even bother with such low-grade trash.

At this moment, on the black seawater, ripples suddenly appeared.

Following the ripples, a thousand meters away, a bronze ship slowly sailed.

The bronze ship's design was quite peculiar.

At the bow, there was a large cannon-like object.

The cannon's mouth was covered in heavy layers of copper rust, its age unknown.

On the bronze ship, there were five iron chairs, each with a fishing rod beside it.

However, the anglers had long disappeared without a trace.

The fishing lines hung over the dark sea, and if one were to peer through the water's surface, they would find... at the end of the lines, five mummified bodies dangling!

No, they weren't mummies; they were alive.

At this moment, one of the mummified bodies suspended by the fishing line moved its lips.

"The spatial fluctuations are becoming more frequent. It seems... the Dawn's Call is coming earlier, and in less than three thousand years... everything will reach its end."

The speaker was a serpentine being, its body desiccated, and in the center of its head was a vertical pupil.

But this vertical pupil seemed to have been forcibly removed.

"Only three thousand years left?" A round, egg-like creature, resembling a giant bird's egg, spoke with a sigh.

"The Eastern Lord repeatedly restarts, giving the world a glimmer of life, but... it still can't prevent the Dawn's Call?"

"It's a pity that the Eastern Lord's love runs deep, yet he remains alone in this world of death, unable to awaken that one person."

"Endless illusions, endless fantasies, all for the creation of truth."

In the depths of the sea, the five beings suspended by the fishing lines spoke with a desolate tone.

"Enough of this. It's a matter beyond our small Martial Wielder's involvement. Let's chat about something else."

"Speaking of which, for some reason, just now, I suddenly smelled the scent of death. It's strange; it's been thirty thousand years since it disappeared, yet its scent has reappeared?" The serpentine being expressed doubt, its words filled with suspicion.

"Oh? Just now, I also seemed to smell an unusual scent."

"Could it be that something has happened?"

"I don't know." The egg-like creature shook its head, and as it did, its entire body seemed to wobble.

"The Heavenly Prison Wielder, I heard that in the Mountain Sea Scroll, you had a child with some talent?" The serpentine being looked at the egg-like creature.

This world was known to all Martial Wielders as the Origin World.

The Origin World was the source of all things.

All living beings, all civilizations, were born from the Origin World.

However, a great war turned the Origin World into a desolate land.

All living beings perished.

The Origin World became a place of annihilation.

It was lost in the river of time, and no one knew of its existence.

All Martial Wielders were trapped within, unable to escape, and no one knew their true names.

It was rumored that the Eastern Lord's most beloved also perished in this great war.

The Eastern Lord, in order to revive the Origin World and meet his Dao companion again, used the Mountain Sea Scroll, gathering the power of all Martial Wielders, to create countless worlds.

Furthermore, in the End World, he gathered those with a connection, making the edges of the Origin World their base camp. These connected individuals were called Bloodline Inheritors by them.

These Bloodline Inheritors entered the Mountain Sea Scroll, completing various tasks.

All of this was to allow the Origin World to regain its vitality and return to its normal trajectory.

The Origin World was the beginning, a desolate land, and its fate was sealed.

The Mountain Sea Scroll was the past, history, but it also held infinite possibilities for the future.

The End World was the present, and thus the future, representing death.

The Eastern Lord's goal was to find a perfect timeline within the Mountain Sea Scroll, reshaping the past, present, and future.

But the time left for them was running out. According to the ancient records, when the Dawn's Call sounded again, the Origin World, End World, and Mountain Sea Scroll would collapse in an instant.

Of course, all of this was just rumors; who could say for sure?

After all, time, space, and other matters were beyond the scope of these Martial Wielders.

They only needed to follow the Eastern Lord's plan and execute it.

In the initial war, these Martial Wielders were merely on the sidelines.

The egg-like creature nodded, "Hmm, the talent is not bad. It seems to have reached the Martial Spirit Realm, which is quite rare."

"With some nurturing, he could become a Martial King. If the Dawn's Call is avoided, you could use him to propagate and expand your lineage." The serpentine being spoke with envy.

For these Bloodline Ancestors, their own strength and the prosperity of their descendants were innate.

The power of the Bloodline Ancestors depended on their own abilities and the flourishing of their lineage.

"The Martial King Realm is just average. If he can step into the Martial Wielder Realm, then he will have the qualifications to become the second-generation ancestor.

But to enter the Martial Wielder Realm, my realm must improve, and my bloodline must undergo a transformation to assist him."

"But now, we can barely protect ourselves, let alone undergo a transformation to help him enter the Martial Wielder Realm." The egg-like creature spoke with regret.
