Chapter 414: A Tongue Like a Lotus Flower

The Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Undead experienced the same encounter as Lin Bai.

The moment they withdrew from the dream, their memories faded along with it.

The two super-evil bosses had no idea what had happened; in their impression, the battle had just begun, yet everything before their eyes indicated that the war was already over.

What about the process?

They did not even understand how the soldiers under their command had died.

This terrifying feeling was as if time had been erased, or as if their memories had been wiped away.

The Lord of the Abyss wore an expression of unprecedented caution, mixed with a trace of fear; he was already the master of the world, yet he had not expected to encounter things they could not comprehend.

……

The surviving Succubus and Dark Knights all fell into a panic:

"King, what happened? How did they die?"

"Did we experience a battle?"

"It feels like a lot of things are missing from our memories."

"Was it the Heavenly King who did this?"

"The Dream Heavenly King and the others fled, but the Lightning Heavenly King is still here; if we catch him and ask, won't we know..."

"But why did they attack the Lightning Heavenly King, and why did they run away?"

"When did Lin Bai appear? Did he collude with the Lightning Heavenly King?"

"There was also a stranger among those who fled."

……

Having withdrawn from the dream, the effect of the Disguise Glasses remained, and Lin Bai's divine sense projection still maintained the form of the Lightning Heavenly King.

Having lost the memories from the dream, everyone returned to the state before Lin Bai's identity was exposed, and in their confusion, they once again pointed their spears at the present Lin Bai and the God of Darkness.

Memories vanished.

Lin Bai was also in a state of bewilderment at this moment.

The Mist Forest had collapsed, the army of a million skeletons had died in an instant, and the Dream Heavenly King and the others had fled; he did not know what had happened either.

But now, everyone's anger exploded in his backend, so Lin Bai decisively stored the Flaw limbs and the God of Darkness into a card, targeted Xu Longyun, activated Shadow Follows, and returned directly to the Real World, plunging headlong into the ongoing wedding, his magic power instantly sealed.

At the same time.

Above the Mist Forest, the divine sense projection Lin Bai had deliberately left behind looked at the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Undead, and said rapidly: "Lord of the Abyss, Lord of the Undead, I declare that you two shall marry on the spot immediately, and I shall officiate your wedding..."

Memories disappeared, but the Skill remained; when threatened, Lin Bai decisively made the most correct response to maximize his interests.

With the Wedding Domain, of course one should fight ten at once; who needs allies, and what is the point of schemes?

The Lord of the Undead's black cloak was replaced by a pure white Wedding Dress, revealing a snow-white skull and alluring bony shoulders, with collarbones so clearly visible that one could easily place an egg in them.

Bound by the Wedding Dress, the Lord's waist was no different from a wasp waist, truly and absolutely without a single ounce of fat.

The Lord of the Abyss changed into a white Suit, his long hair tied into a ponytail, and he held the arm of the Lord of the Undead, his expression even more bewildered than before...

The Dark Knight took out a Bone Flute and, atop the piles of Ruins and bone fragments, blew a melodious Wedding Sonata.

A wedding on the battlefield.

The magnificent musical movement played beside the corpses of comrades, poignant and tragic.

Watching the scene before him, Lin Bai twitched the corner of his mouth; the Wedding Domain really is a mind-screw!

Just at this moment.

The players who had been rushing toward the Mist Forest finally arrived.

Then, everyone looked at the bizarre wedding atop the Ruins, and with the confusion of what had happened, they were forced to join in.

A screen of question marks flashed across the barrage:

"The Lord of the Undead and the Lord of the Abyss are getting married? My god, my eyes are blinded..."

"Where are the Dream Heavenly King and the others?"

"When was the Mist Forest destroyed?"

"What happened? Weren't they in a static state? Why are they getting married now?"

"Where is Dream?"

"Did we miss the great battle?"

"The Lord of the Abyss looks like he ate shit, but I have to say, the Lord of the Undead looks really enchanting in a wedding dress!"

"Weddings are happening everywhere; what day is it today?"

"There is no time like the present."

"I originally thought the Love Dao's Flying Heaven and Love Separation were outrageous enough, but I didn't expect to encounter something even more outrageous; everywhere I look is a wedding, we might never see a hearty battle again."

"Why did Lin Bai have to cultivate the Love Dao? Cultivating the Heavenly Dao would have been so much better! I hate weddings..."

"Are you afraid that one day, you'll inexplicably end up married to another player?"

"To be honest, I want to see the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Undead enter the bridal chamber..."

……

The wedding in the Real World had already reached the toasting segment, and the God of War body was still presiding over it.

At this time.

Ye Song and Ye Lan had finished bowing to heaven and earth and were going from table to table to toast the guests.

This segment didn't require the bridesmaids or groomsmen; Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin were guarding the monitors, watching the live stream of the wedding between the God of Stars and the Goddess of Love, occasionally offering a comment or two.

The suddenly appearing Lightning Heavenly King gave Xu Longyun a start.

Soon, the avatar removed the Disguise Glasses, revealing Lin Bai's face, and only then did Xu Longyun heave a sigh of relief: "Husband, you're back. Did you defeat the Dream Heavenly King?"

"Ran away," Lin Bai said casually.

"Ran away?" Xu Longyun was stunned for a moment, then comforted him, "Since he ran away this time, we'll just catch him next time."

Lin Bai smiled at her and immediately operated the Portable Invisible Recorder, turning on the playback. It didn't matter that his memory had vanished; the follow-type Portable Invisible Recorder had been in use the whole time, and he would surely be able to find the answer inside.

The video footage was projected out.

The gazes of everyone around turned toward the image projected by the recorder.

Xu Longyun asked, "Husband, is this the battle from inside the dream?"

"Yes." Lin Bai let out a sigh of relief. As expected, system items would never let him down.

"Seamless transition; the Abyss Lord and the others didn't even realize they had entered a dream. What a terrifying ability," Jiang Qingqin said. Even though she already knew of the Dream Heavenly King's ability, seeing it with her own eyes still felt very shocking.

Comparing the two, the lost memories were recovered bit by bit. Lin Bai said, "It's not just the seamless transition between the dream and reality. After the dream is broken, the creatures that died in the dream will also die in reality, and things destroyed in the dream will synchronize with reality the moment one wakes up. The most critical point is that it will also be destroyed; all memories regarding the dream will disappear..."

"Memories will disappear?!" several voices said in unison.

"Yes, they will disappear. If it weren't for the recorder, I would have completely forgotten what happened in the dream," Lin Bai said.

"Dream memories disappear, which means no one knows what happened in the dream, while the Dream Heavenly King, who retains his memories, can slowly figure out everyone's combat methods?" Xu Longyun said.

"Yes, and there's something even more terrifying: the people the Dream Heavenly King kills in the dream will also die in reality, which invisibly causes huge psychological trauma to the enemy. If he fails in the dream, he can end the dream at any time and start over," Lin Bai sighed with emotion, "I now understand why the Dream Heavenly King is the head of the Nine Great Heavenly Kings. He really is a difficult guy to deal with!"

Everyone fell into silence.

"A terrifying enemy," the little white fox said, "To be his enemy, you really wouldn't even know how you died!"

Lin Bai did not speak and chose to fast-forward at double speed.

Then, he saw himself draining the skills of the Lightning Heavenly King, he also saw the world-destroying methods of the Abyss Lord, the Golden Heavenly King's ability to manipulate metal, and saw the Red Rope binding the Dream Heavenly King...

Lin Bai was stunned again. When he withdrew from the dream, the Dream Heavenly King did not have the Red Rope on him, but his count of Red Ropes had indeed decreased by one.

At the time, no one had helped him untie it at all.

Which meant.

The Red Rope should still be tied to the Dream Heavenly King's body inside the dream.

This was interesting.

Moreover, the wedding in the dream was interrupted by force.

I wonder if the wedding will continue the next time the Dream Heavenly King enters the dream?

At that time, after the Dream Heavenly King and the others said the secret code, they ran off in different directions; it was the perfect time to defeat them one by one.

Striking while the iron was hot, Lin Bai subconsciously wanted to activate Shadow Follower, but within the Wedding Domain, the Skill activation failed...

Lin Bai sighed inwardly and focused his attention on the wedding of the God of Love and the God of Stars.

Looking at the many gods in the Earth Temple, he considered whether to hold a wedding-within-a-wedding for the gods present to directly finish grinding the task quantity.

But once he did that, it would also mean he would have no way out and could only become an enemy of the world.

No god was stupid enough to fall for the same trick twice...

Lin Bai leaned against a pillar, slowly sipping the wine in his cup, weighing the pros and cons.

Once the Wedding Domain was deployed, it would suppress everyone present.

Therefore, to use the Wedding Domain, he had to ensure his main body was free, because the main body's combat power was the strongest.

There was another key point: what he wanted was the godhood of the gods, so having all the gods gather together to get married was not appropriate.

Otherwise, after the wedding ended and everyone recovered their Divinity, he still wouldn't be able to beat the combined forces of the gods and would fall into a death loop of weddings.

This was not the result he wanted.

Moreover, the Wedding Domain was not cast instantly; it required him to designate targets. Once this weakness was exposed, he feared no god would give him the chance to say the wedding blessing.

It would be best to separate them one by one and use the time difference of the wedding to defeat them one by one...

"Alliance Leader Lin, I noticed just now that you were distracted. What are you thinking about?" The Earth Goddess finished her task and elegantly came to Lin Bai's side.

Lin Bai hadn't caused any destruction at the wedding, so she temporarily lowered her guard, intending to coax some Fazhe Zhidao suitable for her out of Lin Bai's mouth.

"I am comprehending the Dao." Lin Bai came back to his senses and raised his wine glass to the Earth Goddess, "Bairuisi, seeing the union of powerful gods like the Goddess of Love and the God of Stars, I have had some insights. My Dao of Love seems to have improved once again..."

"..." Bairuisi was stunned. She looked at the lively wedding, then at Lin Bai, completely unable to understand this method of cultivation. Her mind went blank. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Is this... an epiphany?"

"Yes, an epiphany." Lin Bai nodded.

"What did you comprehend?" the Earth Goddess asked.

"At the wedding scene, I gained a divine ability that allows people to get married. Moreover, it has already been verified just now; at this moment, the Abyss Lord and the Undead Monarch are undergoing a sweet wedding under my officiation," Lin Bai said with a smile.

He did not hide it; so many players had seen the Abyss Lord's wedding that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

At this time, at the wedding scene far away in the Mist Forest, the Abyss Lord and the Undead Monarch had already completed the item of exchanging Wedding Rings and were, under the witness of the guests, embracing each other while cursing loudly.

The Negative Emotion of the two undead creatures rolled in Lin Bai's mind like a tide.

In fact.

From the moment the wedding began, aside from the necessary procedures, the two had not stopped cursing Lin Bai...

Anyone forced to marry someone they didn't love probably wouldn't be in a very good mood.

Not to mention the next segment, which was to kiss on the cheek; he didn't know if a skull that had lived for tens of thousands of years had a rotten smell?

"..." The Earth Goddess was dumbfounded, forced to smile. No matter how powerful a person was, after meeting Lin Bai, they would involuntarily display exaggerated facial expressions, but at this moment, she could no longer care about her image, "You... you just said, the Abyss Lord and the Undead Monarch are... are getting married?"

The Earth Goddess felt her tongue tying in knots; she couldn't even speak fluently.

Lin Bai said, "Yes, getting married. Bairuisi, no need to be so surprised; you can just find any player and ask."

"But aren't they fighting the Dream Heavenly King?" The Earth Goddess forced herself to calm down.

"The war is over. Their casualties were heavy. Due to some special reasons, they vented their losses on me. In order to appease their emotions, I had to drag them into a wedding, intending to use love to reform them," Lin Bai lied through his teeth.

The Earth Goddess's face turned pale, and she shook her head, "I cannot imagine what kind of scene it would be for the Abyss Lord and the Undead Monarch to get married?"

"Bairuisi, you can go see for yourself. Distance is not a problem for you, is it?" Lin Bai coaxed, attempting to lure the Earth Goddess away from the wedding scene.

The sound of their conversation was loud, attracting the attention of quite a few gods.

"That's not right." The Goddess of the Earth finally caught on, looking at Lin Bai in astonishment, and said in surprise, "Your Law can simultaneously suppress the Lord of the Abyss and the Necromancer Monarch?"

She could not help but be nervous; the Lord of the Abyss and she were righteous and evil counterparts, beings of the same level. If Lin Bai could suppress the Lord of the Abyss with his Law, it meant she would likewise be unable to escape.

"Bairuisi, there is no need to be so nervous. The Law of Love is peaceful. During the wedding, I cannot harm them," Lin Bai explained. "Don't forget what I said before: in my eyes, all living beings are equal. I can teach you all to comprehend the Law here, and I am equally obligated to help the Lord of the Abyss and the Necromancer Monarch comprehend the Law. The wedding is not a simple wedding; although the chance is slim, it is possible to attain the Dao during the wedding, just like I did."

Possessing the passive Tongue Like a Lotus, Lin Bai was much more cautious with his word choices. He no longer used definitive terms, but instead used ambiguous rhetoric like "slim" and "possible."

He did not want certain things he said to become reality, and even if they were to become reality, he had to lower the probability to the minimum. With Luck on his side, his thoughts should be realized.

"Attain the Dao?" The Goddess of Wisdom walked over. "What kind of attainment of the Dao requires two men to marry? Is that kind of love still pure love? That is too absurd."

Lin Bai had persuaded her, but her guard against Lin Bai had never been let down.

"It is indeed somewhat absurd, but at the time, the only one compatible with the Lord of the Abyss was the Necromancer Monarch. I couldn't possibly have let a Succubus marry him, could I?" Lin Bai argued sophistically.

"But..." the Goddess of Wisdom still wanted to argue.

Suddenly.

Screams came from the podium.

Beneath the beautiful garland, the Goddess of Love covered her mouth and screamed, her eyes filled with excitement and thrill.

Everyone looked toward the podium in unison.

"Alei Ya, what happened?" The Goddess of the Earth frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Bairuisi, Alliance Leader Lin, I have comprehended it. I have comprehended the Law of Love." The Goddess of Love's eyes shimmered with excited tears as she said in a trembling voice.

"..." Lin Bai could not help but widen his eyes. Holy crap, is Tongue Like a Lotus really this effective?

The Goddess of the Earth was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Lin Bai, then looked at the Goddess of Love, and asked tentatively, "Alei Ya, did you comprehend the Magpie Bridge?"

"No, not the Magpie Bridge." Alei Ya was incoherent. "It is the wedding process, many, many wedding processes. Those things suddenly rushed into my mind; they are knowledge that does not belong to this world. After entering my mind, it was as if I had been born knowing them. It is truly miraculous..."
