Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#451 - Chapter 450 Silver Fragments

His heartbeat gradually accelerated, the blood flowing through his body grew hotter, and a strange feeling arose in Li Chenqiu's heart.

It was like a fledgling bird realizing the existence of the sky, a person who had lost their sight finding their lost cane. Everything felt so familiar, so desirable.

Driven by his body's instinct, Li Chenqiu turned his head, looking in a certain direction.

Beneath the dark blue night sky, a point of bright gold appeared among the stars, rapidly enlarging, or rather, approaching the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The wind howled wildly. Li Chenqiu stood still, his dark and clear eyes reflecting the rapidly enlarging gold.

"What… is that?"

Li Chenqiu touched his left chest, his brow furrowed with confusion.

As the golden light grew closer, the strange feeling in his heart burned even stronger, and the confusion in his eyes deepened.

Why did he feel such a strange sense of familiarity with this golden light?

Whoosh—

The dazzling golden light drowned out the green of the grass, devoured the silvery moonlight, and hovered a hundred meters in the air, rotating silently.

Li Chenqiu's mind stirred, and flames rose behind him, carrying him off the ground, flying towards the golden light.

The golden light emitted was dazzling, but Li Chenqiu's eyes felt no discomfort. He raised his hand and slowly pressed it forward.

Buzz—

The surface of the golden light rippled, and his palm extended into it without resistance. Streams of warmth, like loaches, swam between his fingers.

"Excuse me, is the reward I was given inside this light?" Li Chenqiu raised his head and shouted into the air.

No one responded.

"Hoo~~~"

Li Chenqiu took a deep breath, and without hesitation, flapped his wings and flew directly into the golden light.

In an instant, heat currents slightly warmer than body temperature rushed towards Li Chenqiu like piranhas smelling blood, completely enveloping him.

Li Chenqiu frowned slightly, but didn't pay much attention. He squinted his eyes and looked around, his gaze quickly settling on the very center of the golden light.

"That is…"

Li Chenqiu swayed and arrived at the center of the light, his gaze slightly fixed on the silver fragment suspended in the air.

The silver fragment was about the thickness of a thumb, with sharp edges and an irregular shape, like a shard of broken glass.

Thump… Thump… Thump…

His heart beat even faster, and an intense feeling of desire surged from Li Chenqiu's heart.

"So, it's you."

Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, then raised his hand and grabbed the silver fragment, bringing it before his eyes.

But before he could examine it closely, the silver fragment suddenly liquefied, like water meeting a sponge, and melted into his palm.

At the same time, the heat currents around him quickly dissipated, and the golden light, like a dandelion, turned into golden specks and flew into the night sky.

"Huh?" Several large question marks popped up on Li Chenqiu's head. He shook his palm in disbelief, trying to shake the silver fragment out.

"The reward has been distributed. Please select a teleportation location, or you can directly exit the Spirit Illusion Realm," an elegant female voice announced.

Li Chenqiu quickly asked, "Wait! How did my reward turn into water and melt into my palm?"

"The reward has been distributed. Please select a teleportation location, or you can directly exit the Spirit Illusion Realm."

Li Chenqiu looked speechless. "I… exit the Spirit Illusion Realm."

At the same time, outside the Linglong Pagoda, the silver light on the eighth floor gradually dimmed.

"The light on the eighth floor is out! Qiu has left the Linglong Pagoda! Qiu is coming out!" someone shouted loudly.

In an instant, everyone squeezed forward, excitedly staring at the entrance of the Linglong Pagoda, anticipating the appearance of 'Qiu'.

But they didn't know that Qiu had already left the Spirit Illusion Realm and returned to the Spirit Illusion Hall of Zhaixing Academy.

The Spirit Illusion Hall was very quiet in the early morning. Li Chenqiu, lying on the single sofa, slowly opened his eyes, the double vision in his eyes quickly merging in a few seconds.

"How could it turn into water?"

Li Chenqiu muttered, then closed his eyes again and began to meticulously examine his body with Absolute Control.

A few seconds later, Li Chenqiu suddenly widened his eyes and quickly sat up straight from the sofa. At the same time, crackling sounds came from all over his body, like firecrackers.

"This… my strength has increased?" Li Chenqiu raised his arm, slowly clenched his fist, and carefully sensed the changes in his own strength.

The surging power, like a rushing river, surged through his limbs. This was far beyond his previous strength. As for how much it exceeded, and what level it reached, he himself didn't know.

"So this is the reward of the Linglong Pagoda!"

Li Chenqiu smiled, quickly got up from the sofa, and hurried towards his villa.

…

Inside the Winter Night Painting

"Fu Yuesheng!"

As soon as Li Chenqiu's feet touched the snow, he shouted towards the wooden house.

Fu Yuesheng, who was painting inside the wooden house, heard the sound, and his cold face seemed to be splashed with boiling water, instantly bursting into a smile. He hurriedly got up and walked quickly towards the wooden door.

Creak—

The moment the wooden door opened, Fu Yuesheng's face suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, returning to his previous indifferent appearance, without a trace of joy on his face.

If there were a face-changing competition, his level would definitely be among the small group of people standing at the top of the pyramid.

Li Chenqiu flashed to the front of the wooden house and said happily, "Fu Yuesheng, I passed the eighth floor of the Linglong Pagoda!"

Fu Yuesheng replied faintly, "As expected. What about it? Any treasures to give me?"

Li Chenqiu grinned. "No treasures, but I got something better than treasures."

"Oh?" Fu Yuesheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Li Chenqiu smiled and rolled up his sleeves. "After passing the eighth floor, my strength suddenly increased by a large margin!"

"Strength increased by a large margin?"

Li Chenqiu nodded. "Yes, the reason I came to you this time is to ask you to help me see how many restraints my strength is now comparable to, is that okay?"

"Okay, I'll close this wooden door later, just attack this wooden door with all your strength."

As he said that, Fu Yuesheng was about to close the wooden door.

"Wait a minute!"

Fu Yuesheng paused and looked puzzled.

Li Chenqiu touched his nose and asked with a rather embarrassed expression, "That… is it safe for me to touch this wooden door… ?"

There was silence between the two for a few seconds.

Bang!

The wooden door was slammed shut.

"The wooden door is very dangerous. You must never touch it. The moment you touch it, you will die, after all, I want to harm you all the time," Fu Yuesheng's lukewarm voice came from inside the door.

Li Chenqiu hurriedly explained, "I… I didn't mean to suspect you, I was just curious and wanted to ask…"

Fu Yuesheng interrupted Li Chenqiu impatiently, "Hurry up and hit it, my hand is already on the back of the door!"
