Chapter 490: She Will Not Strike (End of the God's Game Volume)

Amidst the ice and snow, that young girl descended from the heavens and fell into the Emperor's embrace.

"She... who is she?"

Yu Yaonu looked at that little girl, an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

Because, on that little girl, she saw the shadow of that woman from the Mirror of Past Lives.

But... wasn't her next life that Wendi?

That little girl... who exactly is she?

Yu Yaonu clutched her head, feeling a heart-piercing pain.

The images in the mirror spun continuously; she saw the Martial Emperor perish, and her child ascend the throne.

She was in unbearable agony.

One day, she saw that young girl descend from the heavens, unswerving and resolute.

As the Empress Dowager, she stood on the city wall, her heart feeling as if it were being sliced by knives, and finally, she took a look.

The image stopped abruptly, and Yu Yaonu stood dazed in place.

For a long time, she could not let it go.

Especially the images in the three mirrors; they were too... suspicious.

However, she was, after all, a Chosen One, and she knew the mission she bore.

"Now is not the time to discuss these personal matters of the heart.

The most critical thing is... the World-Ending Dragon."

Yu Yaonu's gaze became clear again, as if parting the clouds and mist.

Her greatest enemy at present was the World-Ending Black Dragon.

Only by slaying the World-Ending Black Dragon could the collapse of the great edifice be averted.

Only then would the Beast-Taming Great World have a possibility of continuing.

"The trial of questioning the heart is about verifying one's true heart."

"Blessed by the heavens, my heart lies in upholding the world."

"Time does not wait, seasons flow like a stream; the heart must not waver!"

Yu Yaonu's gaze became increasingly firm.

Before her eyes, the three mirrors appeared with cracks one after another.

She knew that passing the trial of questioning the heart was not difficult.

What was difficult was that the time taken to pass this trial varied for everyone.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Yu Yaonu opened her eyes.

The scene before her made her expression tighten slightly.

Above the Heavenly Vault, there was a patch of dark light, and the black Giant Dragon stretched on, its end nowhere to be seen.

Above the Heavenly Vault, blood was flowing, and the earth was burning.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of a strong heartbeat tore a hole through the silent world.

In the Heavenly Vault, a rain of blood began to fall.

This rain of blood was the blood of the World-Ending Dragon.

How similar was this scene to what she had seen in the Mirror of the Present Life?

"Yaonu, you are still alive?" Just then, an urgent voice came, "Quick, be careful, run!"

Yu Yaonu saw the Vermilion Bird Saint Lord covered in flames.

The black Giant Dragon's head could not be seen, but those grim scales were still terrifying.

The dragon's body pressed down on the Vermilion Bird Saint Lord, and the flames on the Vermilion Bird Saint Lord's body were nearly extinguished.

Zhou Sen was covered in blood, his eyes manic: "They're all dead, all dead, hahaha... Zhou Buqu... they're all dead."

This time, the Chosen Ones' siege of the World-Ending Black Dragon had suffered extremely heavy losses.

Now, only three people remained alive.

These three were Zhou Sen, the Vermilion Bird Saint Lord, and Yu Yaonu, who had just emerged from the trial of questioning the heart.

Yu Yaonu looked up and could see endless black light surging from the Black Dragon's body.

"Be careful, that is the power of destruction; touch it and you die!" the Vermilion Bird Saint Lord warned loudly.

Half of the Chosen Ones had died under this terrifying black light.

However, that endless black light, like a Black Screen, poured down onto Yu Yaonu, and Yu Yaonu had absolutely nowhere to retreat.

The Vermilion Bird Saint Lord went numb; she knew that Yu Yaonu, having just come out, would surely die.

Though she had doubts in her heart as to why Yu Yaonu had taken so long to pass the trial of questioning the heart.

But these things no longer mattered.

Although several beings above the Saint Domain had died and finally heavily wounded the World-Ending Black Dragon, it was... simply impossible to destroy the World-Ending Black Dragon.

No one could break through the destructive black light to pierce the Black Dragon's reverse scale.

The dragon's reverse scale was the hardest part of the dragon's body and also the Black Dragon's greatest weakness.

But in the next instant, a look of shock appeared in the Vermilion Bird Saint Lord's eyes.

She saw that a wisp of white light had appeared on Yu Yaonu's body.

The white light radiated a rich vitality, forming a sharp contrast with that black light.

One black, one white, Yin and Yang aid each other.

The black light touched the white light, and the two reached a delicate balance.

That terrifying, destructive black light did not actually harm Yu Yaonu in the slightest.

"This..." Vermilion Bird Saint Lord widened her eyes, then a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face, "Yu Yaonu, is the first Pet Beast you contracted a dragon?"

Zhou Sen also saw this, his body trembling slightly.

In the Beast World, rumors of dragons have always circulated.

It is rumored that that dragon is a supreme existence.

To contract it is to be able to reach a supreme realm.

Yu Yaonu was slightly stunned; she thought of that delicate face: "I don't know."

"It must be!" Vermilion Bird Saint Lord shouted, "The dragon you contracted is certainly that legendary dragon.

It is of the same lineage as this black dragon, with attributes of life and death!"

Vermilion Bird Saint Lord thought of something, and the connections in her mind became increasingly clear.

"Yu Yaonu, quickly kill the black dragon, pierce its reverse scale; only you can do it!"

"Zhou Sen, block the black dragon with me!"

"Only in this way will the God Game be won!"

"Only then will the Beast World be saved!"

Vermilion Bird Saint Lord was like a drowning person clutching at the final straw.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sen's gaze also became resolute.

He knew this was their only chance.

Hunyuan Five Sages Art!

Zhou Sen unleashed his strongest strike; his entire person turned into the hardest chain in the world, fiercely hugging that massive dragon body.

His hands exerted extreme force, even seeping into the flesh of the dragon body.

The unconscious black dragon let out a terrifying roar.

Vermilion Bird Saint Lord stepped into the air, and the Vermilion Bird Fire burned the nine heavens.

She struggled to hold on, shouting at Yu Yaonu: "Hurry, pierce its reverse scale!

In this world, only you can pierce its reverse scale!"

Yu Yaonu stood blankly on the spot.

This scene was so similar to what she had seen in the Mirror of the Present Life.

She even found it somewhat difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

She looked at that terrifying giant object, that ferocious and grim black dragon, the culprit behind this world-ending disaster, and her gaze became resolute.

She stretched out her hand, thrusting straight toward the sky.

The black light poured down, landing on the white light, but was completely dissolved by the white light.

The white light grew more and more, and the black light grew less and less.

It was as if the confrontation between the two was consuming each other.

Yu Yaonu's eyes became blurry.

Even with the protection of the white light, her body was bearing immense pressure.

She seemed to see, on the Imperial Heaven Staircase, that little boy forcibly breaking through the Beast Space, carrying her on his back, climbing step by step.

She saw that proud little boy kneeling on the ground, begging for a way to live.

That way to live was begged for her.

She also saw countless Ordinary people living in low, cramped rooms, entering factories every day, working hard.

This world had given her too much.

In an instant, she also understood many things.

Her hand touched the black dragon's reverse scale.

It was icy and cool.

It was very similar to him in the Ice Coffin.

Her hand exerted force, and that indestructible reverse scale shattered instantly, just like human flesh and blood.

Ang!

A massive dragon roar resounded throughout the entire world.

The dragon of the Heavenly Dao, which lacked any emotional color, had a dragon roar at this moment that actually carried a sense of sorrow.

The massive dragon body fell from the sky, its scales shattering piece by piece.

Unfortunately, it seemed the earth did not like that world-ending black dragon, so the black dragon's body turned to ash before it even hit the ground.

For some reason, Yu Yaonu did not have much of a feeling of surviving a disaster.

She watched the massive black dragon slowly dissipate, and vaguely, she saw that upon the black dragon, there seemed to be an extra pair of thin wings.

Those wings disappeared along with the incomplete dragon body.

Yu Yaonu looked at this world, standing still.

Zhou Sen was covered in blood; he glanced at Yu Yaonu and gave a miserable smile: "We won? Damn it, we won!"

"Zhou Buqu, didn't you say that humans couldn't win?"

"We won! Do you see!"

Vermilion Bird Saint Lord's figure flickered and appeared beside Yu Yaonu: "I didn't expect the final glimmer of hope to be in your hands."

The first Pet Beast Yu Yaonu contracted was actually the legendary dragon.

"May I... see it?" Vermilion Bird Saint Lord looked at Yu Yaonu, her voice trembling slightly.

She did not know what she was expecting.

"It... is gone." Yu Yaonu squatted on the ground, hugging her knees with both hands, "I... made him disappear."

Hearing this, Vermilion Bird Saint Lord's footsteps suddenly faltered.

In an instant, she seemed to understand something; her dark hair turned snow-white in a flash, like frost.

She understood something.

Saint Master... is the dragon.

The Black Dragon of World Destruction is Saint Master.

The first Pet Beast that Yu Yaonu contracted is also Saint Master.

Within an unknown space.

Blood-red pupils revealed an eerie expression: "Do you see? This is the price of weakness.

Fate cannot be grasped, and life and death are held in the hands of others."

This blood-red pupil was Red Pupil.

Beside Red Pupil, there was a weak, bleeding dragon.

In the left eye of this dragon was destruction, and in the right eye was vitality.

"This feeling of controlling the life and death of others is too fascinating." Red Pupil's voice carried madness, "Dragon, you lost this bet!

That woman... killed you, hahahaha, hahahaha, the person you care about most, killed you!"

"But I... won the God Game, didn't I?" Lin Chao looked at Red Pupil, his expression devoid of any sorrow.

Several thousand years ago, he took Feidie deep into Red Pupil, fought a great battle with Red Pupil, and seized the origin of Red Pupil.

Neither side could claim victory.

In the end, the two made a bet and set up a scheme.

In the next God Game, Lin Chao's Heavenly Dao clone would become the final boss behind the scenes of the God Game.

And Red Pupil would secretly help the Beast Taming Great World win the God Game.

This bet was ridiculous.

It seemed there was no real winner either.

However, neither of them refused.

What Red Pupil wanted to see was Lin Chao being killed by his most beloved person.

And what Lin Chao wanted was for the Beast Taming Great World to win the God Game.

Both achieved their own goals.

Red Pupil looked at Lin Chao: "But she... killed you.

Didn't you come to the depths of Red Pupil back then just to obtain my origin and awaken her?

I helped you awaken her, yet she killed you; how interesting, isn't it?"

Lin Chao remained silent.

Red Pupil looked at Lin Chao, its gaze becoming profound.

"It has begun."

The massive Red Pupil suddenly descended upon the Beast Taming Great World.

A voice abruptly echoed throughout the Beast Taming Great World.

"God Game, Beast Taming Great World victory, and subsequently... Beast Taming Great World destruction!"

The Rules of the game were set by the gods, and the gods could naturally rewrite the Rules.

In an instant, endless Red Pupil enveloped everything.

All living beings were extinguished at this moment.

The Beast Taming Great World... just like that, suddenly and quietly became nothingness.

If any cultivator were to pass by this Void, they would likely never know that in this vast Void, there once existed a brilliant beast-taming civilization.

Lin Chao witnessed the destruction of the world, the Great Dao turning into fragments.

Countless streams of light turned to dust, and the Spirit River descended from the sky, yet it did not receive the Spirituality of any living being.

Red Pupil's cold voice came: "Do you see clearly now? This is life and death."

Harvesting the world, countless living beings perished.

The life and death in Lin Chao's eyes became even more vivid.

His Small Reincarnation Method also became clearer.

Red Pupil glanced at Lin Chao, its voice desolate: "The Sovereign's origin is mysterious, unknown to all realms.

I attained the Dao half an epoch ago, yet I perished in the mortal world.

The Sovereign molded me out of the mortal world; if not for your Small Reincarnation Method giving me a spark of Spirituality, I would likely still be muddled, just like those ridiculous War Puppets."

In the past, Red Pupil was muddled, without any consciousness.

Lin Chao went deep into Red Pupil, wanting to obtain the origin of Red Pupil.

The two fought, and Lin Chao relied on the Small Reincarnation Method to seize the origin, but he also bit by bit awakened Red Pupil's original consciousness.

Thus, the two set the bet for the God Game.

Or rather, this bet was a clash between two powerful beings, and also a conspiracy, a conspiracy to avoid the Sovereign.

Red Pupil, like those War Puppets, were all ancient powerhouses revived by the Sovereign from the long river of time.

Ancient powerhouses with no consciousness, only bodies.

These ancient powerhouses were harvesting the world one by one.

Until Red Pupil met Lin Chao, and subsequently awakened a trace of Spirituality.

Red Pupil wanted to fully recover her Spirituality and escape the control of the Venerable Master, so she cooperated with Lin Chao.

"Now, is the Small Reincarnation Method complete?"

"Almost." A trace of melancholy appeared in Lin Chao's eyes.

Hearing this, Red Pupil's eyes revealed a look of melancholy: "I wonder which existence created a technique like the Small Reincarnation Method."

Red Pupil's eyeball flashed, and a bead rolled out.

"This is the origin of the Beast Taming Great World that I harvested.

If I don't harvest it, the Venerable Master will send others to harvest it.

No one can stop the destruction of the Beast Taming Great World.

So, it's yours."

Lin Chao took the origin of the Beast Taming Great World; it was a tiny bead.

This origin represented an Intermediate Thousand World, and it also represented countless living beings.

With one bite, Red Pupil truly destroyed the Beast Taming Great World.

This destruction was absolute.

When Red Pupil devoured it, even the Spirit River could not guide these dead souls.

"According to the original trajectory, this origin would have fallen into the hands of the Venerable Master.

Now that you have taken it away, the Venerable Master will set his sights on you." Red Pupil's voice carried a laugh, "Don't die easily, otherwise these past few thousand years of ours will seem exceptionally ridiculous."

Lin Chao was very calm: "So, when will you... give me your origin?"

"Haha." Red Pupil let out a loud laugh and instantly shattered.

A red glow also merged into the origin bead of the Beast Taming Great World.

In this Void, only the broken Lin Chao and a weak dragon remained.

"Red Pupil, I lied to you."

Lin Chao muttered to himself.

"Actually... she is not her."

"They are very similar, but I am certain she is not her."

"I think, if it were her, she definitely would not have pierced the reverse scale of the black dragon."

"In the eyes of a little girl, how could she know how heavy the weight of the world is?"

"In her eyes, of course, the people closest to her are the most important."

The tiny Wusheng Well was her world.

That dragon was her everything.

Lin Chao's figure dissipated at this moment, entering into the origin of the Beast Taming Great World.

He knew that her soul was within this world.

Therefore, because Red Pupil sealed this world, her soul had remained in this world all along.

He collected Red Pupil to gain insight into the Small Reincarnation Method, and also to find her.

He had to find her true soul within the origin.

After an unknown amount of time, a dragon that had almost exhausted all its Spirituality appeared in the Void.

Perhaps because it had come into contact with too much origin, its dragon body had turned Gold.

The vitality in its eyes was exhausted.

In its mouth, it held a bead.

For some reason, this big guy remembered words it seemed to have heard an unknown number of years ago.

It suddenly spoke.

"This butterfly is so beautiful."

"This bird is also very pretty."

Before its eyes, there was no butterfly, nor was there a bird.

After endless years.

The little girl looked up at the sky, and in her ears echoed the last piece of advice the big guy had given her.

"Do not go out."

But that big guy was always sleeping, never playing with her, and in the end, he even went missing.

PS: This volume... can be considered a rushed ending, sorry, sorry.
