Chapter 427: He Truly is a God!

Chapter 427: He Truly is a God!

“Don’t say we’re dao partners.”

Lin Nuo explained, the old dragon person seems to have forgotten this after such a short time due to his dementia.

Fu sized up Lin Nuo and Su Kexin, who was now clinging to Lin Nuo’s arm. He burst into laughter:

“Ha ha, I get it. Saying you’re dao partners is actually slandering your relationship; you’re much closer than that!”

“What nonsense? Where do you see us being close?”

“You youngsters, you just held hands.”

“Holding hands makes us close?”

“What about hugging?”

“Hugging makes us close?”

“Then what about your kiss just now?”

“A kiss makes us close?”

“Is that not considered close… or is this behavior normal among you humans?”

Fu was confused. After all that affectionate interaction, if that wasn’t considered close, then what was?

Did it really have to reach the point of cooked rice before it counted as being close?

Have human thoughts really become that advanced? Or were the Sea Domain Dragon Clan just too conservative and outdated?

“Alright, this is a pointless question.”

Lin Nuo interrupted the topic,

“Now that the magic array at sea has returned to normal, the tsunami is hard to come by, and my task is complete.”

“Young man, I want to ask you a question. I noticed that humans were observing my magic array long ago; they should know about the tsunami, right?”

“Yes, some are aware.” Lin Nuo nodded.

“Did they send you here?”

“Is this your second question? Ask more and I’ll charge you.”

“I don’t have currency from the human world, but if you like any of these crystal treasures, feel free to take them, provided they don’t disrupt my spell protection.”

“That’s a contradictory question; if it doesn’t affect you, it’s useless. If it affects you, I don’t want to take it—it’s pointless. Just keep these antiques; I won’t take them.”

Lin Nuo calmly replied, then continued to address Fu’s words:

“I’m not sent by them; they don’t have the ability to send me. Even knowing this doesn’t change anything for them, and they might even profit from it. I came here just to try it out; even if Ru Yu Village and the mainland are submerged, it wouldn’t be a loss for me.”

Lin Nuo wasn’t hell-bent on saving this place; if he couldn’t save it, oh well—just a few less scenic spots.

There was some regret, but it wouldn’t become an everlasting burden on his conscience.

Lin Nuo’s gaze shifted to Yu Long, still holding on. He smiled, thinking Ru Yu Village would be doomed, but someone would step up to rescue it from impending doom.

And that someone was the little brother who returned to Ru Yu Village for worship every year. Technically, he also had blood ties to Ru Yu Village, as its descendants were truly remarkable.

Ru Yu Village was safe, and the villagers were spared from disaster.

“Thank you, brother. Thank you, young lady. Thank you for saving Ru Yu Village.”

Yu Long smiled. Although the disaster had passed, he still had to uphold this magic array’s point day in and day out, unnoticed by anyone, quietly giving until exhausted and died, only for a new successor to take over his work.

“Wish you both a smooth journey, happiness, and white-haired longevity together.”

“Stop, stop.”

Lin Nuo quickly interrupted his words. What’s up with these people? They’re spewing sticky sweet nothings, cursing folks!

Being white-haired and growing old together with the main character means she’ll be chasing him for a lifetime, right?

“Enough with the nonsense, let’s go back.”

“Ah, little brother, you jest again. I told you, I can’t leave.”

Yu Long continued to smile, though his words carried a touch of sorrow:

“As long as my family lives well, it’s worth it. Please don’t inform them about me; just pretend I’ve died. I don’t want to disrupt their lives anymore.”

“Do you want to go back?” Lin Nuo asked coldly.

“Go back? Of course, I do.”

Yu Long forced a smile,

“But wanting doesn’t help. Once I chose this path, I couldn’t turn back. I’ll spend the rest of my life here. But it’s fine; at least my life has meaning now.”

“If you want to go back, then go.”

Lin Nuo took out a paper talisman, on which he sketched a person’s outline:

“I can find a substitute for you, and you’ll be able to return as you wish.”

“Huh? Brother, are you going to find someone else to take my place?”

“Sort of, but it’s just a paper doll.”

“Huh? A paper doll? How can that work?”

Yu Long found it hard to believe that a paper doll could replace a real person at this support point.

He turned to Fu and asked:

“Master, what do you think? Is this possible?”

“Logically, it shouldn’t be possible, but…”

Fu paused, considering that Lin Nuo had fixed the magic array, and nothing was impossible anymore.

This human was too frightening, his power completely exceeded Fu’s expectations.

“Then young man, you can try. If it works, Yu Long can leave here to go back to the village.”

“Alright.”

Lin Nuo nodded. In his last life, he had studied numerous array books and was quite familiar with formations. He knew the concept of using a person as the array point.

In fact, a paper doll could be used as a substitute, but it wouldn’t last long. However, Lin Nuo had the energy of the Water Spirit’s Heart, making the paper doll a mere vessel while the energy sustained the array point.

Lin Nuo tossed the paper, chanting an incantation. In an instant, the paper enlarged, forming a human silhouette; it was the paper doll—thin and faceless but capable of movement.

“Get inside.”

Lin Nuo commanded the paper doll to move to Yu Long’s position. Normally, if an outsider entered, they would be hit by fierce lightning strikes, but this paper doll was resistant, and after enduring a wave of strikes, it emerged unscathed.

“You come out and switch places with him.”

Lin Nuo instructed, and Yu Long complied with Lin Nuo’s guidance.

Yu Long worried that the magic array would wobble or even collapse, causing the tsunami to surge, but he was overly anxious; nothing of the sort happened.

The paper doll perfectly replaced him, and in fact, it stabilized even better than he did. During the transition of the whole array, there was only a slight tremor, and thereafter, it became extremely stable.

“Good, it’s done. This can hold for several years.”

Lin Nuo replied calmly, confident in his success after placing the paper doll.

“This… young man, I must say, your abilities are truly exceptional.”

“I know; it’s just a small feat.”

Lin Nuo wasn’t modest at all; he was skilled in formations. Having acquired the energy now, wasn’t this all within reach?

At that moment, Su Kexin saw Lin Nuo radiating a brilliant light.

He seemed like a god, an all-powerful deity, rescuing villages and saving the people.

There truly was no god; he was the most righteous god of all!
