Chapter 655 A scheme, an accident, a disaster
The familiar pink color caused bloodshot veins to well up in Wu Wang's eyes.
It was exactly the same as the pink leaf pattern on my back.
Without a doubt, it is the power of [supreme bliss].
Wu Xiaoyou's eyes gradually lost their luster in her confusion, and she collapsed to the ground helplessly like a soulless puppet.
Occasionally, a glimmer of clarity would flash through him, but it would only last for a moment before fading away, and the aura of a venerable being on his body was becoming increasingly intense.
This is the power of the "Old Days" within her rebelling.
Unfortunately, even though the power of the [Old Days] could rival the laws of the Venerable in terms of level, Wu Xiaoyou ultimately only had two pieces of it within her body.
Faced with the endless laws of [Supreme Bliss], this little bit of [Old Days] power is simply a drop in the ocean.
Upon seeing this, Wu Wang almost instinctively wanted to use the [Abyss God Mark] to devour this aura.
The raised hand remained suspended in the air, unable to fall.
No, I can't control what the [Abyss God Mark] will devour. This thing might even devour my second sister along with it, which would be a real loss.
"Second miss!"
Mary and Lilith also rushed over at the same time, but were blocked by Wu Wang's raised hand.
He said through gritted teeth, "Don't come near... this power will corrupt you."
In a sense, these two dungeon bosses belong to the followers of "desire," and now various venerable powers are tearing each other apart without reservation.
If the two of them were to touch the aura of "Supreme Bliss" emanating from Wu Xiaoyou, they might end up losing their own lives first.
"You stupid brain! Think!" Wu Wang's breathing became unusually rapid due to his emotions, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he frantically considered all the possibilities.
However, after integrating all the information currently available...
Reason told Wu Wang that there was no way to solve this problem.
After all, the Venerable's power level is simply too high. Currently, apart from the [Abyss God Mark], probably only the [Divine Feast] can deal with him.
However, neither of these things is under one's control, and using them rashly will only make the situation worse.
No... there might still be a way!
"You fortune-telling bastard!" Wu Wang shouted, looking around. "Get the hell out here! You must be somewhere nearby, right?"
He knew the fortune teller must be hiding somewhere, observing him.
That guy's stealth skills are exceptionally strong.
Sure enough, the moment Wu Wang finished shouting, a sigh came from a corner of the deck:
"Alas, young friend, why bother?"
"Isn't agreeing to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs' Fire Seed Project the best way out?"
"What else do you want to struggle with in the real world?"
Where the voice came from, the familiar Taoist robe and long white hair and beard of the fortune teller slowly appeared.
A flicker of surprise and wariness crossed Mary's eyes.
This ship is her territory! Not even an ant should be able to escape her senses!
Why was I completely unaware when the old Taoist priest appeared? Even now that I can see him standing right in front of me, I still can't sense any signs of life there. It's as if what appeared was just a virtual projection of him.
“I haven’t cared whether you’re observing my life for a long time.” Wu Wang’s tone was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around him. “It’s just because you’re different from that crazy woman. You really won’t actively influence any of my decisions. I think it’s good that we respect each other.”
“But my second sister got involved because you thought she was useful. Now that she’s in trouble, you have to give me a solution.”
brush--
A toothed blade appeared in Wu Wang's other hand.
He said, word by word, "Otherwise, the only path left between us is that of enemies."
Seeing Wu Wang's actions, the fortune teller shook his head helplessly.
The other party did seem a bit unreasonable, but they were right about one thing.
Wu Xiaoyou is useful to me.
He also needed Wu Xiaoyou to use the aura of the "Old Days" to cover up the existence of the "Undying".
If we just let them die here, those Venerables will probably pounce on us the next second.
So, the fortune teller swept his whisk over Wu Xiaoyou's head, who was lying motionless on the ground, trying to figure out how she had been so deeply affected by [Supreme Joy].
If I remember correctly...
[Supreme Bliss] hasn't fully taken shape yet...
According to the information the fortune teller had, the Venerable One had an unusually close connection with his own opposite.
Because [Suffering] had become weak for some unknown reason before [Bliss] was born, it seems that there was a problem with its own laws, which gave a certain divine messenger the opportunity to steal a sliver of the authority of the laws.
This makes the law of suffering unique, with special cases involving both venerable beings and divine messengers.
In this situation, a weak form of suffering cannot give rise to a powerful opposite.
At this point, "bliss" should be like "despair"—merely a seed at the point of birth, at most showing signs of sprouting.
This can be seen in the equally weak [Hope], whose opposite [Seed of Despair] could even be eliminated by Wu Wang once.
Unfortunately, hope never dies, but despair endures forever.
Wu's death at most delayed the awakening of [Despair], but it did not mean that he had completely destroyed the opponent.
Now that [Despair] can invade reality along with it, even if it is the last law to arrive in reality, it is already quite rare.
【Supreme Bliss】should logically be the same as 【Despair】.
Why is it that He can appear directly from living beings in the real world?
hum-
Suddenly, just as the fortune teller was investigating the root of the problem, a flash of cold light appeared and instantly severed his whisk, leaving a sword mark on the deck that stretched straight to the sea.
The fortune teller and Wu Wang both turned their gazes toward that direction.
They were looking at Wu Xiaoyou as she slowly got up, or rather, at the Xiaochuan Sword she held in her hand.
At this moment, a rich aura of "Supreme Bliss" surged from the sword, enveloping her and causing her to be pulled like a puppet on strings, stiffly standing up.
At that moment, everyone could see it.
The source of this [Supreme Bliss] aura is the Laughing River Sword!?
"Big sister?" Wu Wang's heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, I remembered that my eldest sister Wu Qing once said that she was saved by the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] when she was on the verge of death, and after reaching some kind of deal with him, she became the spokesperson for [Supreme Bliss].
The eldest sister can no longer remember the specific details due to the fragmentation of her soul.
But looking at it now...
Why didn't other spokespeople, like Qin Shusheng and the Ash Witch, experience this situation?
Or would the [Lord of Desire] really be so kind as to save a human?
What exactly did He do in this deal?
Boom—Boom—
Wu Xiaoyou wildly swung her sword at the crowd, and one increasingly powerful blade after another swept past, crashing into the sea with a deafening roar as Wu Wang and the others dodged.
In an instant, the sea became turbulent, as if a monstrous tsunami was about to erupt from the powerful blade.
Seeing this, Wu Wang and the fortune teller exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously understood each other's thoughts.
In this current state, every time Wu Xiaoyou uses a little bit of the power of [Supreme Bliss], she will be invaded more severely by Him.
"We need to subdue her first!"
In an instant, their figures appeared on either side of Wu Xiaoyou.
Wu Wang was not afraid of being contaminated by the aura of [Supreme Joy], and forcibly restrained her hands, preventing the Xiaochuan Sword from swinging its blade. The fortune teller then produced a whisk from somewhere and swept it towards the Xiaochuan Sword, seemingly trying to pull it down.
Unexpectedly, before they even touched the Laughing River Sword, a powerful impact erupted from the blade, sending the two flying.
call--
A pair of wings, blotting out the sky, unfurled behind Wu Xiaoyou, their expanse so vast that they enveloped the entire Mary. Indeed, they were just two wings, not the familiar six-winged wings.
Under Wu Wang's gaze, the old angel feathers on his wings fell off one by one, and countless pink leaves grew from their original positions. Even the roots of the wings turned into withered branches.
These eerie wings have taken on a strange shape made of trees.
Now it's exactly the same as the "Supreme Bliss" pattern on the "Feast of the Gods" on my back.
Her aura continued to rise, even approaching the feeling Wu Wang had when facing the crying monster.
"what……"
Wu Xiaoyou's limbs twitched stiffly, and she let out a strange roar.
A strange purple hue stained her hair, and a moment of clarity appeared in her eyes.
The sound that came from his mouth made Wu Wang's breathing even more rapid:
"Brother...quickly...shatter my sword and my soul..."
"He planted the seed of bliss in my soul..."
"He wants... wants me to deal with him..."
At this point, the eerie purple hue that had finally appeared faded away, and Wu Xiaoyou returned to her completely selfless state.
In that very instant—
She has reached the level of a Venerable's offspring!
And the ascent of his aura showed no signs of stopping.
However, Wu Wang was not thinking about how his second sister's power had undergone such a dramatic change in such a short period of time.
Rather, it is the owner of the voice.
This isn't the voice of my second sister, Wu Xiaoyou!
This is the eldest sister, Wu Qing, speaking!
These three short sentences exploded in Wu Wang's mind like a bomb.
Instantly, it integrated all sorts of fragmented information together—
Blackheart Penguin once said that no Venerable One would risk injury to deal with the alliance between Azure Dragon and Chaos.
Because once injured, one is easily seized upon by one's own adversaries, and a slight misstep could lead to eternal damnation.
Moreover, blocking Qinglong's side would be tantamount to allowing other Venerables to enter reality ahead of them and divide up those special Spirit Disaster players.
But what if His opposite is weak itself?
So weak that even if this Venerable One is injured, he can't do anything, like the Lord of Suffering?
Or perhaps this venerable one is not yet fully conscious?
Just like the chaos that once eroded reason and impacted the barriers of the real world.
Does He simply lack the ability to analyze the current situation?
An unbelievable thought arose in Wu Wang's mind—
【Desire Sea Spirit Lord】 did not make the eldest sister Wu Qing the spokesperson for 【Supreme Bliss】.
Instead, I want her to achieve [Supreme Bliss]!
This is why, even though he clearly intended to meet the Lord of Suffering, he accidentally completed the hidden quest to meet the Lord of Bliss and received the reward of the Grace of Bliss.
Because ultimate bliss is all around us!
Of course, this is definitely not a good thing.
To be precise, He should have wanted to awaken [Supreme Bliss] within the eldest sister and completely absorb it as nourishment.
But that's still not enough!
The awakening of a venerable being is far more significant than the human soul alone.
"Unless... He, who is also a Venerable One, offers even a small amount of help..."
Wu Wang recalled the two profound words that the [Lord of the Sea of Desire] had once said to him—
What can desire bring you?
"When you understand this, the power of desire can be used to your advantage."
He looked down at the mark of "Soul of Desire" on his wrist and fell into deep thought.
The help provided by this big boss was also used to complete the tip of the Xiaochuan Sword.
Under normal circumstances, I should be the one carrying the Laughing River Sword right now!
So when he discovers that [Zhile] is beginning to awaken in his eldest sister Wu Qing's soul, he will definitely do everything in his power to stop this process.
The envelope I had just opened in the staff break room not long ago—
Gifts don't always represent goodwill.
At that time, I experienced a portion of the pain of loss.
This proves that the remaining portion is still in the hands of [Lord of Desire].
If, at this moment, He were to bring back the pain He had long lost, causing the heartache of losing His eldest sister to surge forth instantly...
Wu Wang had no doubt that his desire to save his eldest sister would be so strong that it would trigger the [Soul of Desire] on his wrist.
At that time, the [Lord of Desire] will be able to unleash the power of [Desire] from his own body and infuse it into the Laughing River Sword, thus enabling [Supreme Joy] to awaken in the real world with the help of [Desire]!
I will become the transit point for [desire] to assist [bliss]!
"He miscalculated one thing..."
Wu Wang's hands trembled slightly.
I feel like my head is buzzing, and even my thoughts are a bit disjointed.
Yes, [Lord of the Desire Sea] miscalculated one thing.
That was when he faced the impending doom of the real world, and chose not to keep the Xiaochuan Sword, which contained powerful soul energy and could even occasionally possess a soul, by his side.
Instead, he gave it to his second sister, Wu Xiaoyou.
Because He was unaware that He possessed immortality, and He had no intention of using the Laughing River Sword to save His life.
It was precisely this coincidence that led to the awakening of [Supreme Bliss] within the second sister.
Furthermore, the [Old Days] are on the same level as the Venerable One, so theoretically the [Old Days] within the Second Sister's body can also provide assistance to the other party.
However, unlike the active assistance of [Desire] which can be absorbed, the power of [Ancient] cannot be absorbed by other beings.
In other words, the current state of [Supreme Bliss] is an awkward pseudo-awakening state.
Every bit of power He used was actually consuming the power of the "Old Days" through His second sister's body!
Because Wu Xiaoyou herself is a fragment of the past.
Therefore, it can be said that what is maintaining the ascent from [Supreme Bliss] to true awakening is entirely Wu Xiaoyou's life and Wu Qing's soul!
Whether successful or not, [Supreme Bliss] will probably exhaust them completely, like two disposable batteries that are completely ruined.
Then, carrying this incomplete, pseudo-awakened state, it soared into the sky.
He will launch a near-suicidal attack on the Azure Dragon, creating a real opportunity for those Venerables who covet the real world...
"Cough cough!"
The moment he understood everything, a trace of scarlet blood spilled from Wu Wang's mouth.
That was blood flowing from the heart due to damage to the heart vessels under extreme pain.
All his pain sensation returned.
It was as if to confirm his earlier speculation.
The crimson stain on the deck seemed to mock the accident he had caused.
The one who should have died and suffered disaster was myself.
The Soul of Desire on his wrist was reflecting a faint light, as if sensing Wu Wang's desire to change everything at this moment, and that intense desire was intoxicating him.
Thinking of what he had said to Qin Shusheng not long ago, Wu Wang couldn't help but feel a bitter smile.
"What if someone pulls off a miracle?"
"Can I still create a miracle to turn everything around?"
Wu Wang looked at the "People Leave, Tea Grows Cold" in his hand, his expression becoming extremely complicated.
Perhaps, we can take another gamble... (End of Chapter)
