Chapter 269: The Great Benefactor!
Hong Bian, after integrating everything about himself into the God Realm Yumen and leaving his remaining body to two disciples, one from the south and one from the north, had already transformed into a residual soul-like existence, supported by power and reliant on the core of the God Realm.
When he completely entrusted the control of God Realm Yumen and his powers to Luxianbei, he also welcomed the ultimate fate of dissolution.
During his advancement to Calamity, Hong Bian had glimpsed a vision from a secret legend of the Zoroastrian sect through a prophetic dream.
In that legend, the world was a flower born from miracles, blooming in a multitude of beautiful forms every moment, while an ugly and venomous worm parasitized the miracle flower, injecting poison into it every three hundred thirty-three years…
As a result, influenced by the poison, the miracle flower’s luster dimmed, its petals withered, its stem decayed, and the captivating fragrance turned into the stench of countless filth.
What must be done to prevent this miracle flower from wilting, allowing it to endure for a long time? This was a question that had troubled Hong Bian for a long time.
Although he never solved the riddle in his heart until the moment of complete consciousness and existence dissolution, he still presented a possible solution through everything he possessed.
The flower might ultimately wilt and fall to the earth, decaying in the soil, but d*ath was not without meaning, because in the not-so-distant future, more magnificent miracles would bloom from its remains.
“This is the reason why the destructive factors have ultimately transformed into the old destroyer with resentment over countless years…”
“Alright! Time’s up, three minutes are over, the moment of silence ends, you all should get back to whatever you were doing!”
Proxy Player Sister said this as she roughly kicked aside the two neatly gathered little beings in front of her, as if they were participating in military training, donned an apron, and swaggered toward the half-finished clay sculpture.
However, when she sat down and prepared to get back to work, the actions of Hong Bian unconsciously flashed in her mind, eliciting another sigh.
“I have to say, it’s such a pity for a fascinating place like God Realm Yumen to be desecrated by that Nightmare guy. If it were me…”
She intended to say that if she obtained the power hidden in God Realm Yumen and caught a glimpse of Hong Bian and Longxiang’s past, she might have a chance to walk a different path and welcome a completely different outcome.
But before she could finish her thought, she considered that without Shen Baiwei, who had not yet turned into a Nightmare accompanying her, then what would be consumed would not be the power of God Realm Yumen.
That would be the leftovers of Shaman Queen… How could she possibly “consume” someone else’s leftovers?
If she were to eat, she should eat Shaman Queen!
In her contemplation, Proxy Player Sister suddenly smashed a clay ball in her hand onto the half-formed sculpture with a “thud,” frowned, and muttered softly, “Speaking of which, Nightmare has shown signs of reforming. Shouldn’t I give her a little push from behind?”
“How should I help her? Let that guy Luxianbei send her a message?”
Although for Luxianbei or Shen Baiwei herself, suppressing the power of the Snake of Time might mean Shen Baiwei would be safe, Proxy Player Sister knew they were too early in their joy.
The trajectory of the fate of the destructive factors isn’t so easy to change!
Shen Baiwei wasn’t like Luxianbei, who had a monster-level father, nor was she like the Void with endless tricks, let alone Wang Ying, who could survive and continue to grow even when thrown into outer space…
Though she had tasted a bit of success now, it wouldn’t be long before the sugar coating wore off, revealing the hidden poison and blades beneath.
However, as Proxy Player Sister’s desire to help Shen Baiwei behind the scenes rose, an unusual sound emerged from behind her, pulling her thoughts away.
A high-frequency shriek pierced the air, as if something sharp was swiftly slicing through a smooth surface.
It seemed to be dusk, with the night approaching, and the surrounding light dimming.
Through her spiritual perception, she could feel countless subtle ripples surging from all directions.
It was as if there were strange entities surpassing millions, crawling with distorted steps in an invisible space.
A silent and surging strange torrent rose from the crumbling rooftop city below to the expanses of the land, quickly gathering beside Proxy Player Sister.
Thick, writhing, filled with emotions of anger, resentment, and unwillingness.
They were everywhere.
The world in her perception seemed to slowly sink into dirty muck.
She glanced back with her peripheral vision.
It resembled a few blobs of thick ink falling from a height, smashing onto the rooftop, spreading blackness in a chaotic, tangled manner.
Upon careful discernment, it was strikingly similar to the chaotic dark lines that symbolized the punishment of time previously seen on Shen Baiwei, just in greater quantity and scale.
Like the ocean, overwhelming and swallowing the realm behind Proxy Player Sister in darkness.
Seeing such a sight, Proxy Player Sister seemed accustomed to it, nonchalantly curling her lips.
Every time she tried to interfere with Luxianbei, these ghostly beings would appear… as if a warning.
In fact, the times Luxianbei had seen her injured were closely related to these ghostly entities.
This time, they had come uninvited, probably because she attempted to intervene with Shen Baiwei through Luxianbei.
Immediately following, the writhing black lines seemed to come to life, convulsing and letting out a shrieking sound like steel grinding against steel, swiftly coalescing into several figures formed by chaotic dark lines.
The outlines were somewhat familiar, perhaps seen somewhere before…
“But it doesn’t matter!”
Proxy Player Sister turned around, slowly drawing out a crimson long kn*fe from the void, positioning it before her, her expression flat, “Who can recognize the waste recycled from the garbage heap?”
Picking out a few useful remnants from the remnants of a once entire world, which still held onto a small grudge, how is that not waste recycling?
“Alright, now that you’re here, let’s all get this done! I’m in a hurry; my guest should be arriving soon.”
Knowing Luxianbei as she did, she anticipated that Luxianbei would soon appear here, crying and looking for advice.
After all, Hong Bian was the kind of guy who would raise his thumb in praise and call her “Old Silver Coin” even if he saw her.
In fact, when she saw Hong Bian forcibly shoving his powers and the control of God Realm Yumen to Luxianbei, she had already guessed the subsequent developments…
When Luxianbei received Hong Bian’s powers and control over God Realm Yumen, she would surely be at a loss initially and wary of that power, but soon she would realize that controlling that power was exactly as Hong Bian described—without any restrictions, and could be passed on to others at any time.
After all, at this moment, Luxianbei’s powers had no connection to “miracles”; she was not a good vessel for the Miracle Flower.
So, from a certain perspective, Hong Bian did not deceive Luxianbei; if Luxianbei resolved the crisis of the twisted Miracle Flower created by Shaman Queen, she could transfer Hong Bian’s “gift” to someone else in a short period, and the result would be as Hong Bian said—no cost incurred.
But…
That was Luxianbei!
Having obtained such a significant treasure, once she realized that there were no side effects, would she still give it up?
Absolutely impossible! Wouldn’t that be seeking her own demise?
However, if Luxianbei secretly took control of God Realm Yumen and the Miracle Flower with her back to Shen Baiwei upon returning to the God Realm Yumen a thousand years later, that would spell big trouble.
Miracles are about rebirth…
This extreme misinterpretation of miracles, shaped by Shaman Queen’s distorted power, cannot be considered a wrong perception.
Therefore, the beings sealed within God Realm Yumen, because of Luxianbei, managed to survive and continue, even leaving behind hundreds and a tangled mess of chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep a thousand years later, from a certain perspective, that equated to creating an unprecedentedly large-scale miracle.
When Luxianbei returned after a thousand years, this grand miracle, condensed with the power accumulated over the millennia, would feedback into her, making her a rare vessel for the Miracle Flower in the world.
Although this historical change spanning a millennium would have a certain degree of latency, typically, it would register in her system within a short time—minutes to a couple of days at most.
At that point, even if Luxianbei wished to discard God Realm Yumen, she wouldn’t be able to…
The ability of Hong Bian’s prophetic dream is mysterious, perhaps he had foreseen this and therefore unconditionally entrusted his powers and the control of God Realm Yumen to Luxianbei.
Just like luring players into a free game with a gimmick, only to later secretly exploit them once they’re hooked.
Isn’t that what Old Silver Coin does?
“So, I must help the kid kick her internet addiction before being exploited!” Proxy Player Sister murmured, stepping forward and effortlessly slicing through, leaving a trail of crimson extending for miles…

“What a great benefactor!”
The moment Luxianbei was forcibly given the “big gift pack” of God Realm Yumen by Hong Bian, her consciousness trembled violently, feeling the formless spirit energy surge into her body like a hot flood.
The vast and complex information from God Realm Yumen continuously flowed into her mind, nearly overwhelming her awareness.
Following that, when the surging spirit energy and massive amounts of information reached a certain threshold, she felt the “Yumen”…
The entirety of Yumen!
As if a long loading had completed, a vast and grand scroll unfolded before her eyes, the movement of every blade of grass, every tree, all humans, urban legends, animals, and everything else within God Realm Yumen became clear in her mind, even including the sealed Shaman Queen could be glimpsed upon.
She had experienced a similar situation before when she finished the Hundred Demons Walk, controlling the pulse of the earth, and merged with 【Royal Authority】 to gain control over Dream City…
But compared to the previous two times, this was akin to an experience demo; now it was the golden deluxe edition.
And best of all, it was free!
Yes, the moment she gained control of God Realm Yumen, Luxianbei realized that Hong Bian had not deceived her; it appeared that controlling this power did not require any payment.
“That monk must be a great benefactor, right?”
Now she was the master of God Realm Yumen, the controller of the Miracle Flower; would anything she perceived go wrong?
Originally thinking it was a bad guy thrusting a “practice book gift pack” onto her, it turned out to be a rich relative offering a big red envelope for the Spring Festival.
Isn’t that a great benefactor?
As for any side effects in the future… why bother with that?
Dealing with Shaman Queen was the priority; let’s enjoy this moment first!
“Salar, it’s time to take your medicine!”
Luxianbei muttered to herself, swiftly activating the powers of the North Goddess, merging into God Realm Yumen…
