**Chapter 291: She, Why Is She Still Alive?**
“……”
Shen Baiwei never expected that after Calamity sent Long Bang away, the first thing it would do is to immediately leave the God Realm Yumen and launch an attack on the Shaman Queen.
It was just like watching a fluffy little white rabbit suddenly open its mouth, revealing a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth, ready to devour.
This was not in line with Calamity’s usual style of action……
She watched as Luxianbei, holding the Fengchi Spear, walked step by step toward the County Prince’s Mansion, and after a few seconds of daze, she regained her senses and called out, “Wait, Calamity, you can’t just leave like this!”
Although after absorbing that little booklet recording the changes in Yumen over a thousand years, she was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to teach the Shaman Queen a lesson immediately, her rationality told her that leaving the God Realm Yumen with Calamity now would definitely cause a huge problem.
“Why?” Luxianbei stopped and turned to look at Shen Baiwei, frowning slightly.
“The Shaman Queen just devoured the twisted Miracle Flower from Hong Bian’s body, and now we have brought back the complete Miracle Flower that should not exist from a thousand years ago…”
“I understand.” Before Shen Baiwei could finish explaining, Luxianbei nodded and interrupted, “By the agreement, you should return the Miracle Flower and the control of the God Realm Yumen to me, right?”
Shen Baiwei’s words reminded her, making her suddenly realize the hidden dangers in half what the Proxy Player Sister said about the Miracle Flower and the control of the God Realm Yumen……
The real danger was the unpolluted Miracle Flower!
Just like the residents of the God Realm Yumen, the unpolluted Miracle Flower should not exist in this world; if taken out of the God Realm Yumen, losing the protection of the God Realm, it would inevitably face the correction of time.
Unlike the residents inside the God Realm Yumen, whose spirit energy fluctuations were negligible, the Miracle Flower was a true cataclysm-grade power……
If one were to say that the residents inside the God Realm Yumen were like illegal immigrants that needed to be expelled from the outside world, then the unpolluted Miracle Flower was an illegal nuclear weapon.
People or urban legends carrying a “nuclear weapon” would likely face consequences far beyond simple expulsion.
Thus, accompanied by such power, the correction of time would undoubtedly possess unimaginable destructive potential.
From a certain perspective, the Miracle Flower became a cage, imprisoning it and its holder forever within the God Realm Yumen.
However.
What Luxianbei wanted now was the destructive power that erupted during the correction of the Miracle Flower; otherwise, relying solely on her just-gathered North Spirit Seal power to k*ll the Shaman Queen would be a bit naive.
After all, that was the Shaman Queen, a bygone destroyer who controlled power related to war!
It was a terrifying existence that, when sealed, took down two cataclysms and nearly caused a collapse of a large God Realm.
After a thousand years of brewing and absorbing the remains of Hong Bian, how could it be easily killed by an urban legend that had just gained cataclysm-level power?
As for how to withstand the correction of time without perishing and use that power to k*ll the Shaman Queen……
Seeing Luxianbei reaching out her hand, Shen Baiwei grew even more confused. “Do you know you’re courting d*ath?”
“How can it be considered courting d*ath? At a time like this, we should believe in miracles, right?” Luxianbei said with a straight face.
“Miracles?” Shen Baiwei rolled her eyes, “Calamity, you don’t really think you’re the Saint Daughter of Miracles, do you?”
“Isn’t that so?” Luxianbei tilted her head, “At least until the Miracle Flower I control is fully corrected, I am indeed the authentic Saint Daughter of Miracles!”
“……” Shen Baiwei was momentarily speechless. She also felt that Calamity’s statement made some sense.
After a brief silence, her tone softened as she advised, “But if you can’t deal with the Shaman Queen before the Miracle Flower is completely corrected and return to the God Realm Yumen, then you will face the same fate as the Miracle Flower…”
“Don’t worry about that!” Luxianbei interrupted, “I’m confident enough not to be erased along with the Miracle Flower.”
If that terrifying will, which nearly led me to the abyss, needed “Calamity” to exist… Luxianbei silently supplemented in her heart.
She admitted that she was taking a gamble, believing herself irreplaceable concerning that terrifying will, or perhaps her importance exceeded that of correcting the Miracle Flower.
Previously, that terrifying will forced her to embrace destruction; now it was her turn to force that entity to choose between preserving the possibility of giving birth to the urban legend of “overcoming calamities and creating disasters” or correcting the Miracle Flower.
Although this seemed a bit bug-abusing, it was a gamble with her life, but Miss Calamity was indeed an expert at exploiting bugs!
Shen Baiwei was still hesitating when Luxianbei made up her mind, stepping forward, holding her hand tightly, and seriously said, “I need that power right now…”
Gazing into Luxianbei’s eyes, Shen Baiwei remained silent for a long time before finally sighing silently and nodding, returning the grip, “Act within your means; don’t overexert yourself.”
“Mm.” Luxianbei responded, “Don’t worry; I’m not someone who enjoys overexerting myself…”
In the next moment, brilliant golden light enveloped both of them, as the intricate petals of the Miracle Flower quietly bloomed. A wave of spirit energy surged, and crimson light appeared on the pale paper-like flower……
————
Thick black smoke rose into the sky.
Countless fissures spread across the wasteland outside the God Realm Yumen, and the Sān Lǒng Shā above did not welcome the sunrise after midnight, only deep, dense dark clouds loomed.
Heat waves exuding a pungent odor billowed over the wasteland, swirling with ash, spreading in all directions.
The wasteland had long since turned to scorched earth.
On the scorched earth, the Shikigami Daiyama, with a section of its body severed, lay sprawled on the ground like a toppled furnace, its grotesque wound continually oozing glowing bl**d, flowing thickly onto the ground.
Like a highly corrosive acid, it hissed, emitting smoke.
The pale-faced Fujihara Shoshoin leaned against the weak Shikigami Daiyama, a crumpled, unlit cigarette hanging from her lips, her tattered priestess outfit soaked in bl**d, already indistinguishable as red and white.
She coldly watched the Tongzi Tian still battling against the Shaman Queen in the distance, unable to help but curse in her native language.
“Baka yarou…”
“This is simply a trap, right? How could such an urban legend possibly be killed?!”
Since the Shaman Queen escaped from the God Realm Yumen, nearly thirty hours had passed, during which time, including her, many spirit energy organization members had died, while Tongzi Tian was still struggling alone.
However, at this point, the Siye Society, aside from remotely attacking with the Zixiao Terrace to repel the unclear monstrous figure that might be the Shaman Queen’s helper, had only a group of Siye operatives forming a blockade at least ten kilometers away to intercept the army of urban legends summoned by the Shaman Queen; not one of the rumored guardians had appeared.
This was hard not to lead to suspicions that the Siye Society was waiting to reap the benefits.
What was even more frustrating was that with this situation, even dying at the hands of the Shaman Queen would be difficult to cause trouble for the Siye Society, at least not to confront them; after all, everyone entered Z Country secretly against the Siye Society’s advice and acted on their own. If trouble arose, they could only chew broken teeth and swallow them.
But who could have imagined that a sealed urban legend for over a thousand years, once freed, would possess such unfathomable power?
Indeed, it was not the strength that exceeded imagination, but rather truly incomprehensible!
In terms of combat power, the Shaman Queen was merely barely suppressing Tongzi Tian, unable to achieve a decisive win.
But the problem was, in the process of fighting with the Shaman Queen, all attacks that could pose a threat to her could be miraculously avoided.
Even the magnificent lightning from the Zixiao Terrace and the similarly powerful attacks from Tongzi Tian that exchanged injuries didn’t land a fatal blow on the Shaman Queen—only leaving light injuries that were neither painful nor itchy…
It was as if she had activated an evasion cheat!
If one was outmatched, they should accept defeat gracefully, yet losing to a cheat was difficult to accept.
What made Fujihara Sawae even more worried was that as she lost her combat power, Tongzi Tian, without any support, was left to face the Shaman Queen and her summoned urban legends alone, and the momentum had clearly waned, about to give in.
What were the Siye Society’s guardians thinking?
Were they really just going to watch the Shaman Queen k*ll Tongzi Tian?
If the Shaman Queen devoured Tongzi Tian’s power, who could stop her?
Fujihara Sawae thought, and the next moment, her pupils trembled violently, and then her mind was filled with only one thought—retreat!
————
“Boom——!”
A deafening roar erupted on the wasteland outside the God Realm Yumen, as Tongzi Tian, like a mountain, was overturned on the ground, causing the earth to shake.
In the next moment, before Tongzi Tian could rise, an endless stream of bloody light surged from the crisscrossing fissures in the ground, flowing rampantly, extending straight upwards, and then raining down onto the earth.
In the incandescent red light, a “jungle” made of intertwined steel emerged, cutting across the surging bl**d light in a chaotic swirl, leaving countless shimmering arcs of light.
That was an omen created by Tongzi Tian relying on their powers.
bl**d was the sign of war, and steel was also the sign of war; where the two met, the entire wasteland could no longer see yellow sand or dirt hills, left only a hellish, abstract canvas.
However, in the next moment, a series of cringeworthy piercing sounds erupted.
Sharp steel twisted and shattered.
The bl**d light deepened.
Monstrous figures appeared in an explosive manner from the bl**d light, rampaging across the wasteland, violently preying.
Like beasts released from their cages, they bit into Tongzi Tian’s body, devouring the flesh and bl**d of fallen unknown assassins, plundering the lingering, unseen remnants of war from this land…
In the dark, the Wordless Book witnessed this scene, taking a deep breath, infusing spirit energy into the jade-like Gray Owl Badge in her palm, sending a message to Zhang Hainan.
“Black Emperor, if I delay the Shaman Queen, do you have the confidence to strike and k*ll with one blow?”
After a brief wait, Zhang Hainan’s voice echoed in her mind, “If I pay a small price, it could be done, but… why do you want to do that?”
“Why? Because the urban legends summoned by the Shaman Queen already have armor that has transitioned from Tang armor to Ming armor; the situation is about to spiral out of control!” Wordless Book growled.
This particular Gobi, where Yumen Pass is located, has had warfare throughout history, with countless souls buried beneath the yellow sands.
As Tongzi Tian’s suppression of the Shaman Queen gradually weakened, the Shaman Queen began to absorb the remnants of those lost souls left behind, and her powers would only grow stronger.
What would happen once the Shaman Queen integrated these remnants of war into her understanding and glimpsed a corner of modern warfare? Wordless Book dared not imagine.
At this moment, the old man Zhang Hainan actually still appeared quite indifferent, leaving her puzzling over his thoughts.
Was he still waiting for Calamity?
The situation had evolved to this point; what change could a mere Calamity bring? Wordless Book thought.
“There’s no rush, no rush. I said forty-eight hours, and it hasn’t hit that yet, right?” Zhang Hainan’s voice rang out again, “Oh, look, isn’t the turning point just coming?”
“Turning point?” Wordless Book lifted her gaze to the wasteland, where everything was enveloped in swirling crimson.
“Where’s the turning point……”
Before she could finish, above the God Realm Yumen, a massive flower of fire suddenly blossomed, and then intense spirit energy surged, violently shaking the air and triggering a high-frequency sound that instantly swallowed all other noise.
In the next moment, the fierce light that even Wordless Book dared not look directly at erupted from the gigantic Miracle Flower, shooting into the sky, tearing apart the darkness that had shrouded the land for nearly two days, and then, accompanied by a heartbreaking wail, like a comet falling, flew straight toward the Shaman Queen.
As that ray of light fell, everyone and every urban legend on the wasteland seemed to enter into an illusion, enveloped in fierce sunlight.
The sunlight was blazing, with scorching winds.
The violent temperature released melted everything, clearing a straight path covered in red molten material, allowing a girl, whose figure was slightly small and thin with chaotic black lines surrounding her, to reach the Shaman Queen rapidly.
“Old pal, do you remember me?”
A familiar face appeared through the distorted air from the brutal heat wave, entering the Shaman Queen’s sight, causing her strange heavy eyes to show a hint of horror.
A thousand years…
How is she still alive?!
