Chapter 441: Sacrificing Oneself for an Ideal: Dorag~

Zhang Zhiwei: “@Dorag, same question— if your lady is interested, could Itachi bring her over? I have a side job with an incredibly generous reward, perfect for your wife.”

Zhang Zhiwei: “Don’t worry— this side job won’t offend your wife in the slightest.”

Zhang Zhiwei: “As for compensation, Itachi needn’t concern yourselves—I will offer a reward that will satisfy Itachi both!”

At this moment, the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain could no longer hold back.

As cultivators whose ultimate goal is to become immortals and attain the Dao, no one could ignore a true Celestial Essence.

This was a living Celestial Essence!

Forget talk of combat power—some beings, no matter how weak their power, possess a nature fundamentally different from ordinary mortals.

Lu Dongbin: “Same question, same question—if your wife agrees to the side job, my compensation will not disappoint Itachi!”

Lu Dongbin, currently locked in a battle of wills with his world’s consciousness, was now visibly excited.

To outwit Heaven itself is no mere idle boast.

Under these circumstances, if studying the Celestial Essence could yield precious data…

Lu Dongbin had already prepared to make a massive sacrifice.

Hontou Nia: “Damn, the moment Itachi heard Dorag and Im got married, Itachi all went nuts.”

Hontou Nia: “Expecting Dorag, a lifelong straight man, to seduce Im? Better hope I reverse the Dao and overthrow the Primordial Sprite as the new God.”

Hontou Nia: “…The deeper I walk this path, the more I feel that when I become a God, I might just play around as a Celestial myself.”

In a corner of Akihabara, Hontou Nia’s Whispering Scroll trembled slightly—next instant, her figure vanished from the spot.

Next moment.

Amakusa Reine appeared where Hontou Nia had been, adjusted her glasses, saw the girl had escaped again, and vanished once more.

“Hehehe, did Itachi sense a threat?”

Hontou Nia appeared in a maid café in Akihabara, calmly enjoying the service of adorable maids; noticing the other had left, she grinned like a grubby old man.

Watching this creature, Kirschwasser Kyouko beside her couldn’t bear to look.

Why the hell?

Why did this idiot join the chat group?

Kirschwasser Kyouko stared at her reflection in the glass window—truth be told, wasn’t she infinitely more adorable and beautiful than this idiot?

And yet.

Her Sprite was the Chronos Emperor!

With the Chronos Emperor on her, she alone could count as countless ultra-ultimate magical girls!

Could the chat group’s admin really have taste this bad?

Hontou Nia ignored Kirschwasser Kyouko’s envy and resentment—no matter how much she envied, it was useless; the chat group didn’t sell invitation cards. Little Kyouko, just stay loyal as my #1 lackey and shine for my Godhood project.

He Xi: “So, Nia, could I study Itachi?”

Seeing Hontou Nia’s words, He Xi perked up.

Though Hontou Nia’s research value still fell short of Im’s, it was barely acceptable.

If she were willing to sacrifice herself for science…

He Xi wouldn’t mind at all.

Hontou Nia: “…Get lost!”

Hontou Nia: “Why don’t Itachi sacrifice yourself for science instead?”

Indeed, she still had terrible compatibility with these science fanatics.

Index: “Dorag-san is getting married?!”

Index: “Don’t worry, Uncle, I’ve just made a little breakthrough with Sister Zhulan.”

Index: “It’s a planetary-scale ritual that can simulate certain aspects of the Pokémon world, subtly guiding the world’s development along fate’s threads—though it won’t reach Pokémon-level perfection, the effect should still be impressive.”

Index: “By the time Itachi marry, I’ll have fully perfected it—I’ll give it to Itachi as a wedding gift.”

Seeing Index’s message, Dorag felt a sudden, powerful urge.

He glanced instinctively at Im—perhaps she wouldn’t reject it.

To sacrifice oneself for an ideal…

Dorag felt he had the resolve!

“What are Itachi staring at?”

Sensing the subtle emotion in his gaze, Im frowned:

“By the way, what’s your purpose in coming here?”

“Itachi won’t fight—so are Itachi here to mock me?”

“...”

The words stuck in Dorag’s throat.

Could he say: “I’m after your wedding gifts, so let’s get married”?

That would sound way too shameless…

No way.

He couldn’t say that.

Maybe he needed a respected group member to act as his matchmaker?

Hermes: “Dorag getting married? That’s truly a joyous occasion for our chat group.”

Hermes: “@Dorag, if Itachi’re certain, I’ll design a grand ritual specifically for the Grand Navigation World, just like Little Index, as your wedding gift.”

Hermes: “Hmm, Dorag—do Itachi want the Celestial-Human Resonance Grand Ritual, or the Cave Heaven Realm Grand Ritual?”

Hermes: “Or perhaps, even simpler—the Immortal Vessel·World Ship technology?”

The Celestial-Human Resonance Grand Ritual is tailored for Im as the [Heaven] and Dorag as the [Human], enabling a metaphysical union—though this union is specifically between Celestial Dao and Human Dao…

The Cave Heaven Realm Grand Ritual, as the name suggests, can transform the Grand Navigation World into a Cave Heaven or Realm—anyone with even basic intelligence can grasp the possibilities.

The Immortal Vessel·World Ship is a blunt, direct technique from the Immortal Vessel Alliance—capable of directly converting the Grand Navigation World into a world-ship sailing the star-seas…

Dorag: “...”

Slowly reading the senior members’ messages, Dorag fell silent for a moment—then…

Dorag: “Yes, I’ve decided—I’ll propose to Im at the right moment!”

Without hesitation.

The great revolutionary leader responded swiftly.

Yes, the leader of the revolution was precisely such a noble soul, free from base desires.

To save the world from ruin, Dorag believed he must not cling to personal honor or gain—he must prioritize the greater cause!

As for whether Im would accept…

Dorag thought about it—he figured it wouldn’t be a problem. He, a young man, had already made a tremendous sacrifice by offering her the chance to marry a younger man—what complaint could she possibly have?
