Chapter 875: I Will Be Back

Just as Lingyun was holding back the Dragon God, the process of Yakumo Yukari constructing Gensokyo reached its final critical moment.

Beads of sweat trickled down from the temples of Yakumo Yukari and Reimu, dripping onto the ground.

Around the two of them, many Great Youkai were entangled with phantom beasts. From time to time, a phantom beast would be slain by a Great Youkai, and from time to time, a Great Youkai would be torn apart by phantom beasts amidst wails.

"Is it almost ready on Yakumo Yukari's side? If things continue like this, we might not be able to hold on for much longer." Ibuki Suika shook the blood off her hands, her tone carrying a hint of gravity.

After a prolonged battle, even as an Oni King, she had large and small wounds all over her body. Their defensive line had retreated again and again; if they were to retreat any further, the battle would spread to Yakumo Yukari and the other.

Beside her, Hoshiguma Yuugi punched back a phantom beast and caught her breath: "I didn't expect that even with Lingyun holding back the Dragon God, the opening of Gensokyo would still be so difficult."

"Tsk, that guy is truly powerful, to actually hold the Dragon God back until now." Ibuki Suika spat out a mouthful of blood, her hands firmly pinning down the head of a phantom beast. "But you'd better hurry, Yakumo Yukari!"

On the other side, twelve rays of light of different colors suddenly erupted from beside Yakumo Yukari. The twelve rays of light intertwined and finally merged into the Barrier set up by Yakumo Yukari and Reimu.

In an instant, dazzling brilliance bloomed. Facing the sudden light, the phantom beasts summoned by the Dragon God could not help but let out a low roar of fear, then retreated repeatedly.

"Did it succeed? Yukari?" Ibuki Suika retreated to Yakumo Yukari's side and asked.

"We, succeeded! The world belonging to Youkai, named Gensokyo, has been successfully constructed!" Countless rays of light fell from the sky, condensing into a colorful Light Ball in front of Yakumo Yukari.

Just by looking at this Light Ball, Ibuki Suika felt a sense of closeness.

"Crack—"

The space in the sky shattered abruptly, and two figures fell from the sky.

Lingyun landed on the ground, could not help but cough lightly, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Lingyun?" A Gap suddenly opened beside Lingyun, and Yakumo Yukari, holding the Light Ball in one hand, ran out from the Gap.

"It looks like the construction of Gensokyo is complete!" Lingyun reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Yes." Yakumo Yukari nodded, then looked at the person standing opposite Lingyun. "Who is she?"

"Dragon God, the construction of Gensokyo is complete; you have no reason to strike again." Lingyun said with a smile. "So I said, this round, I won!"

The Dragon God did not respond to Lingyun; her gaze was entirely drawn to the Light Ball in Yakumo Yukari's hand.

"It is truly beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful World Embryo."

Sensing the Dragon God's gaze, Yakumo Yukari subconsciously placed the Light Ball behind her back.

Lingyun could not help but chuckle; women like shiny things, and the Dragon Race also likes shiny things. The Dragon God combined the elements of both a woman and the Dragon Race, so it was normal for her to be attracted by the World Embryo.

With her line of sight blocked, the Dragon God withdrew her gaze with some regret.

"Dragon God, you said she is, the Dragon God?" Yakumo Yukari looked at the Dragon God in front of her, somewhat stunned.

Hearing Yakumo Yukari's words, the Dragon God could not help but straighten her body, and a vast aura was released from her, enveloping the entire field. Everyone present, whether Youkai or phantom beast, felt a terrifying pressure suppressing them, leaving them unable to move.

However, a fluorescent glow emanated from Yakumo Yukari and Reimu, forcefully resisting this pressure.

"This is, the World Blessing?" Looking at the fluorescent glow on the two of them, the Dragon God's expression was momentarily stunned. "To be able to bestow such a blessing upon the creators just after taking shape, this world is remarkable."

"Since the world has been constructed, I naturally will not strike again." The Dragon God said indifferently. "However, I am only not striking against Gensokyo; as for you, that is not necessarily the case."

Sensing the Dragon God's malice toward Lingyun, Yakumo Yukari became nervous at once. Reasonably and emotionally, she could not possibly watch Lingyun suffer an accident in front of her.

"Visitor from another world, are you, this stowaway, prepared to face the wrath of the world?" The Dragon God stared at Lingyun and asked.

"Sorry, Dragon God, to a certain extent, I possess immunity!" Lingyun extended his hand, and a ray of light rose in his palm, finally turning into a Seal.

A faint light radiated from the Seal; although weak, the power hidden within it was even stronger than the Dragon God.

"This is, World Blessing?" Looking at the Seal in Lingyun's hand, a trace of astonishment appeared on the Dragon God's pretty face.

A World Blessing is not something just anyone can obtain; only after making a huge contribution to a world and receiving the world's acknowledgment can one obtain a World Blessing. People who possess a World Blessing can receive the closeness of the World Consciousness in any world. Without causing massive destruction to the world, the World Consciousness cannot kill someone who possesses a World Blessing. Furthermore, Lingyun had not done anything bad in this world; he had merely blocked the Dragon God to prevent her from hindering the establishment of Gensokyo.

Most importantly, there was more than one aura from other worlds on this Seal, and some of those auras were extremely familiar to the Dragon God—they could be called her friends. That someone could be blessed by her own friends meant that he must have helped her friends a great deal. Just on this point alone, the Dragon God's intention to strike at Lingyun was extinguished by quite a bit.

However, at the thought that this guy had actually played her with time abilities, the Dragon God felt her teeth itch with anger. If she didn't teach this guy a lesson, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"That's right, with this Seal, I cannot strike at you, but I do not welcome you now; please leave!" The Dragon God's eyes rolled, and she thought of a way to deal with Lingyun.

As soon as the Dragon God's words fell, Lingyun's figure blurred. In this instant, Lingyun could feel the world rejecting him, as if it wanted to squeeze him out of this world.

After saying this, the Dragon God snorted, and her figure disappeared into the Void. And the phantom beasts brought by the Dragon God also disappeared into the air one by one.

"Distort, Strings of the World!" Lingyun reached out and plucked, and a ripple spread out beside him; his figure instantly became solid again.

"Lingyun, you..." Yakumo Yukari looked at Lingyun, her tone carrying a hint of ambiguity.

"Haven't you already guessed it? I am not a person of this world." Lingyun said with a faint smile.

"So the guy isn't from this world!" Ibuki Suika leaned over to Lingyun's side and said with a grin.

"I don't have much time left to stay in this world; from now on, this Gensokyo is entrusted to your care." Lingyun said to Yakumo Yukari with a smile.

"I know, that is my duty as the Sage of Youkai!" Yakumo Yukari nodded forcefully and said.

"You, you will come back, right?" Yakumo Yukari took a deep breath, fearing she would hear the answer she did not want to receive.

"I, will definitely come back!" Lingyun made his promise to Yakumo Yukari. "However, it's hard to say when; after all, I don't know when Miss Dragon God's anger will subside."

"I understand. The gates of Gensokyo will always be open for you."

"Then, I look forward to our next meeting, Yukari." Lingyun waved at Yakumo Yukari with a smile, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the air.
