Chapter 383: The God of Curses

The black-haired Zhuzhao looked at Robert with pity: "You know nothing of the power of the gods."

Robert retorted: "You know nothing of game players."

With a meaningful smile, the Zhuzhao stared at Robert, his body gradually turning transparent before him, and then vanishing.

……

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a few dull thuds, brilliant fireworks lit up the entire night sky.

The magnificent symphony "Wedding March" began to play, and spotlights hit the sky, swaying to the rhythm of the music...

"Bright lanterns cast colorful splendor, a beautiful time for music and song. Today we raise our glasses to invite friends and family, celebrating the union of these happy couples. Dear guests, dear friends, welcome to the wedding of Justice Alliance Alliance Leader Lin Bai, Taiyi Kingdom County Princess Xu Longyun, and Danling Sect Saintess Jiang Qingqin. Let us take this opportunity to send them our most sincere blessings, wishing the three of them a long, lasting, and happy life..."

The host picked up the microphone and recited the opening remarks with great flourish.

The wedding officially began.

Lin Bai stood on one side of the stage, dressed in bright red ceremonial robes, embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons, wearing a beaded crown, and carrying a decorative jade pendant and a Sword at his waist, completely modeled after the attire of an emperor.

Having consumed many Temperament Fruits and having held a high position for a long time, he simply stood there, exuding an awe-inspiring Temperament that made the handsome groomsmen behind him look dull and lackluster.

The Purple-Robed Old Ancestor, Pei Yanzong, Zen Master Wuwang, and others also had spotlights on them, but at this wedding, they were all supporting characters; no one dared to steal the limelight from Lin Bai.

Beneath their feet, a Magpie Bridge emerged for each, leading directly to the brides on the opposite side; no matter how beautiful the red carpet or flower path, nothing was as stunning as the Magpie Bridge...

At the other end of the Magpie Bridge were the peculiar brides, each looking shy, waiting for the master of ceremonies' instructions before meeting in the center of the Magpie Bridge.

Beside the main wedding stage, two smaller stages had been set up.

Stars from all over the world performed dances, martial arts, and acrobatics on the stages; the directors were striving for the luxury of the wedding, catering to guests from all aspects...

……

"I never thought that one day, my favorite idol would be made to look dull by someone else."

"Even Xiaobai the fox is better looking than the stars."

"The biggest flaw of this wedding is inviting those stars to perform; Lin Bai standing there is enough to attract everyone's attention."

"What is a grand display? It's doing things even when you know they are useless. The Alliance Leader who almost controls three worlds is getting married, and yet there isn't even a star to show support—don't you think that's losing face?"

"Having stars as green leaves makes Lin Bai stand out even more!"

"Humans and Demon Beasts, men and men, monks and Taoist priests who changed from men to women... among those getting married, only Lin Bai himself is normal. He didn't just use stars to set himself off, he used a group of demons and ghosts to do it; he's too calculating."

"He isn't normal either; the two he is marrying are both his disciples, and he's marrying both at once."

"Sigh, the culture of marriage and love has been completely corrupted!"

"I don't know how many men envy Lin Bai! To hold the power of the world in his hands while awake, and sleep on the knees of beauties while drunk—this is simply the peak of life. If I could live like this for three days, I would be content."

"After this wedding, Lin Bai will become a public enemy of the world."

"I just want to know, from a marriage that completely defies the laws of heaven, what kind of Love Dao can Lin Bai comprehend?"

"Didn't Lin Bai already say it? The Universal Love Dao."

"Wrong, it's the Love Evil Dao."

"Holy crap, look, what's going on?"

"The plot I've dreamed of has happened; someone is actually making a move at Lin Bai's wedding..."

"This time I'm finally relieved. No one causing trouble at Lin Bai's wedding is the most terrifying thing; it means everyone has been suppressed by Lin Bai. It's like boiling a frog in warm water, and in the end, everyone's fate will be arranged by Lin Bai. By daring to resist, we still have hope."

……

On the main stage.

The giant temporary screen was scrolling through photos of Lin Bai and Xu Longyun, and Lin Bai and Jiang Qingqin at various stages.

The host was using a magnetic voice to introduce the process of how the two met and fell in love.

Suddenly.

Thick smoke rose from the stage where the ballet was being performed, rapidly expanding outward.

In the areas eroded by the thick smoke, some mortals responsible for building the stage aged at a visible rate; their hair turned white, their skin shriveled rapidly, and they turned into dried corpses.

Some players who were close by didn't react in time and also had their HP drained, falling to the ground.

"No one can dominate our fate."

A hoarse voice in the language of the Western Continent rang out in the middle of the stage.

Subsequently.

A skeleton wrapped in a black cloak, with two blue flames burning in its eyes, floated up.

With a wave of its hand.

The black Qi entwined around it rolled toward the brides at the other end of the Magpie Bridge; wherever the black Qi passed, branches and leaves withered, and life vanished.

At the same time, whether they were ordinary people or players, those who had their life force drained and turned into skeletons stood up one by one, swaying, and pounced into the crowd.

……

There really was a troublemaker!

Qingqin looked at the suddenly chaotic crowd, suppressed the disgust in her heart, used Provocation on the black creature wrapped in the cloak, and repeated the words Lin Bai had transmitted to her: "Thank you to this performance artist for the wonderful performance brought to the wedding—'Destruction and Rebirth'. Marriage is the union of yin and yang, and love means the Advent of new life. This is a special arrangement; I hope all guests can comprehend the true meaning of the Love Dao from death and life..."

As she spoke.

She pulled the undead creature, whose heart was filled with hatred, and fled rapidly into the distance.

Ye Song flew among the undead creatures and used a Silence Skill.

Lin Bai demanded perfection for the wedding; he could not let this undead speak any more outrageous words. If it weren't inappropriate to see blades and weapons at a wedding, he would have wanted to tear this group of hateful skeleton scum into pieces.

Qingqin and the others didn't recognize what that skeleton was, but Lin Bai saw what it was at a glance and transmitted his voice to Qingqin from afar: "Keep that lich, don't kill it."

Just after Qingqin led the lich away, Lu Wei of Wanhun Valley took out a silver gourd, aimed it at the black Qi remaining on the stage, and sucked all the black Qi into the gourd.

But there was no host on the stage anymore, and the actors backstage who hadn't had a chance to perform yet were pale-faced, trembling and collapsing to the ground; not one dared to go on stage to save the show.

Are you kidding!

Who could have imagined that attending a wedding would come at the cost of one's life!

"Continue the performance, don't let the atmosphere die. If you die, I will help you with Butterfly Transformation, convert you into the Demon Race, help you reshape your forms, and extend your lives permanently." Lin Bai's voice reached their ears in time. "If nothing goes wrong, I will reward you with Concentration Fruit; this is a promise from the Alliance Leader of the Justice Sect."

The actors were stunned for a moment, but the backup host had already picked up the microphone and announced the next program.

The system required the wedding to be grand and perfect, and Lin Bai did not want the slightest error to occur, so he could only remotely control the Disciples and change the Skills granted to them at any time to help them deal with emergencies...

But since the other party had gone to such great lengths to cause trouble at the wedding, they naturally wouldn't have sent just a small Lich.

Qingyun used Provocation to pull the Lich away just moments before.

The fan group behind the Magpie Bridge had already let out gasps and screams.

"Oh my god!"

"What happened?"

"How could this be!"

Those players even forgot to use private chat.

Lin Bai looked up and couldn't help but freeze in place.

Opposite him.

Xu Longyun and the other brides were still standing there, waiting for the host to lead the process, but at this moment, the flesh on their bodies had already clung tightly to their frames, their hair was as white as withered grass, and they looked like old crones on the verge of death, or perhaps zombies that had just crawled out of a coffin, exuding an aura of decay from head to toe, yet they themselves were completely unaware and still stood at the head of the bridge, craning their necks in anticipation.

Damn it!

Lin Bai's face turned black instantly.

He had shared many Puppet Skills, but after searching through his own Skills, there wasn't one that could deal with the current situation.

The Heavenly Dao Sect had purifications for the Soul, but that purification was either for cleansing or for transcendence; it did not exist to solve this kind of special situation...

Even Wanhun Valley had no method to turn a zombie back into a human.

The little white fox let out a shriek and dropped the flower basket in her hands in horror: "Xu Longyun, Jiang Qingqin, you, you all..."

Xu Longyun and the others finally realized something was wrong, looked at each other, let out screams simultaneously, and then looked at their own bodies.

Even with Xu Longyun's calm temperament, she was panicked at this moment: "Lin-lang, save me!"

"Lin Bai, aren't you known for wanting to comprehend the Love Dao? I have cast a curse of aging on your lovers. Unless there is a heart that truly loves them, they will remain in this state forever. Now, the time has come to test whether there is true love between you. I have never believed that a person's heart can be divided into two and still maintain true love."

A phantom black shadow appeared above the many brides. His figure was flickering, his features unclear, and his voice seemed to come from all directions, "If they cannot recover, it proves that your love for them is fake, your Love Dao is fake, and all your laws are fake; you are just fooling the world. I will expose your identity as a false god in front of everyone. At that time, your Faith will cease to exist, and all your Divinity will vanish into thin air..."

He was using the language of the Western Continent, which most people present did not understand, but there were players who could translate, and soon everyone knew what had happened and couldn't help but cast their gazes toward Lin Bai.

To be honest, they also wanted to know if Lin Bai's Fazhe Zhidao was real or not.

If one could use various laws of the Love Dao without true love, then undoubtedly, Lin Bai was deceiving them...

Robert and the others were dumbfounded. They had only persuaded one Lich, and the Lich was easily lured away by Qingyun; they had originally thought this mission had already failed.

Who knew that a black shadow would suddenly pop up.

What was he doing?

But no matter what he was doing.

As soon as he made a move, he cleanly and neatly disrupted Lin Bai's wedding scene; such methods were much more formidable than the Lich.

Idiot!

Lin Bai cursed inwardly. My Divinity doesn't come from Faith at all, okay?

However, what the hell is this bastard?

"Who are you?" Lin Bai used a Truth Spell on the phantom in front of him and demanded.

"I am the God of Curses, Nuosi." The phantom revealed his identity. He did not realize he had been hit by the Truth Spell and said triumphantly, "Do not attempt to defeat me. I am not a false god like you who fools the world; I am a deity born between heaven and earth, possessing my own godhood. The curse I cast, unless the conditions are met, even I cannot break it. I crossed two worlds to come here just to expose your hypocritical face and cultivate my believers on this magical continent."

Is this what a god is?

Lin Bai felt frantic inside. He didn't understand what the laws of the Heavenly Kings in the Immortal World were like, but the attacks of the Celestials always had traces to follow.

What kind of ghost is this guy's curse?

If it can only be solved by meeting conditions, then if he were to cast curses randomly, wouldn't everyone be controlled by him?

"Lin-lang, don't listen to him. This is a curse he set; who knows if he will secretly control the outcome!" Xu Longyun looked at the troubled Lin Bai and forced herself to stay calm, "I believe you love me, and you must have a way to save me."

Although her body was aged and frail, her sharp mind remained.

She didn't know if Lin Bai's Love Dao was real or fake, but she absolutely did not want to embarrass Lin Bai in this way.

If it turned out to be fake, everything Lin Bai had would collapse.

"Woman, you are insulting a deity." The God of Curses, Nuosi, suddenly turned to Xu Longyun, the language of the Eastern Continent slipping out, "My curse was born in accordance with heaven and earth. From the moment it was born, the result was already destined; even I cannot change it."

Under the Truth Spell.

Nuosi's words were naturally true.

Lin Bai believed this deeply.

The scary part is that it's true!

He was certain he liked Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin, and the Yuelao System had proven their love with the Magpie Bridge and the Heavenly River, but the Yuelao System's definition of love was too perfunctory, like a joke...

Even this wedding, he was doing it to complete a system mission; how could there be true love like this?

Once the proof failed, his credibility would collapse, and having lost the Fazhe Zhidao, what would he rely on to unite people's hearts?

Armed suppression could not last forever!

Furthermore.

He still needed the Fazhe Zhidao to fool the Celestials of the Immortal World!

Ding! The Super Villain System popped up a new mission.

【It has always been the villains who threaten others; how could one be threatened by others? Finish off the clown before you, or subdue him, and prove your power to the world; Reward: Extraction (randomly seize one ability or organ from your defeated opponent for your own use)】

He arrived at just the right time.

He might not be able to break the curse, but defeating the guy in front of him shouldn't be difficult!

Randomly seize?

I don't know what abilities this so-called God of Curses has, but I can just defeat him many times; by randomly seizing one thing each time, there will eventually come a time when I drain him dry...

When has he ever suffered such indignity?

Rope Binding!

Lin Bai used Flash, arriving at the side of the God of Curses in an instant, and without hesitation, he whipped out the Red Rope, but the usually invincible Red Rope missed its target this time.

The God of Curses looked at the Red Rope winding around his body incessantly and let out a sneering laugh: "Lin Bai, I have studied your methods. Do you think your rope can bind a god? I once cursed myself that no one could catch me; once caught by someone, I would lose my body forever and survive in this world as an Undying Soul, and then, I was truly caught by someone. The me of now is a great existence that is Undying and Indestructible..."

Suddenly, the voice of Nuosi came to an abrupt halt.

Before he knew it, Lin Bai had used Flash to appear by his side again, one hand lightly pressing him down, while a kitchen knife rubbed back and forth against his scalp, nimbly shaving off his non-existent hair.

Lin Bai looked disdainfully at Nuosi, who was being held down by Absolute Suppression, let out a secret sigh of relief, and mocked: "An Undying Soul? It just so happens I know of a dish called deep-fried ghost!"

"Impossible, I have cast countless curses upon myself and paid all sorts of prices; how could I possibly be caught by you?" Nuosi shouted loudly, refusing to believe it. "How could that damned knife of yours possibly harm my soul body?"
