"Uh… it's really hard to judge." Ning Rongrong's thoughts returned to her body.
After seeing the full cause and effect of Gu Yuena's battle with the Crimson Mother, along with some of the thoughts she had at the time, Ning Rongrong didn't know how to comment.
"Young Sect Master, how is her condition? Can she still recover?" Although he didn't call her "Master," Ning Rongrong could tell that Di Tian still cared about Gu Yuena.
"See for yourself. This is the memory I extracted." A ball of light appeared in Ning Rongrong's palm and slowly floated toward Di Tian's forehead.
Di Tian did not resist and accepted the projected memory sphere.
Moments later, Di Tian slowly opened his eyes from his closed state.
"It's quite a bit better than I expected." Di Tian's expression was complicated.
Ning Rongrong shrugged: "Indeed, it's not bad. By sheer coincidence, she managed to extend the time the Divine Realm remains sealed, giving us more preparation time."
"But… her decision to enter the Crimson Domain hoping to advance to God King, with the mindset of 'succeed or die trying'—that was pure dumb luck."
"Still, there's nothing much that can be said about it!"
"In that kind of situation, she couldn't open the Dragon Valley to locate the Douluo plane anymore."
To suppress her own rampaging nature, Gu Yuena couldn't use much power to leave the Dragon Valley.
She could only use mental suggestion to make her out-of-control self enter the Crimson Domain first instead of instinctively returning to the Douluo plane.
Perhaps she also didn't believe anyone on the Douluo plane could stop her.
Moreover, without the Divine Realm, if she lost control, the entire Douluo plane would be doomed.
Entering the Crimson plane…
"It's hard to say whether it was right or wrong, but it definitely completely messed up my plans."
Ning Rongrong complained.
If Gu Yuena hadn't rushed out from the abyss passage together with the Crimson Mother, Ning Rongrong wouldn't have taken the risk of accepting Di Tian as an artifact spirit.
Then, using the shackles on Di Tian's soul to cross the tribulation, push her zhenqi to the Extreme of Qi, and enter the realm of the Four Perfections.
The unity of the Four Perfections is the Realm of Longevity.
Up to now, Ning Rongrong still had very few clues about it.
From the recent battle and the scarce information about God Kings in Gu Yuena's memories,
Ning Rongrong felt that in every aspect, she was already no weaker than an ordinary God King.
In fact, even stronger.
For example, with the Law of Destruction—she only needed to watch the Crimson Mother use it once.
She could immediately replicate it, and use it even better.
In simple terms: she learned it at a glance.
Moreover, she had gained some understanding of the Law of Water from the Sea God and Lan Fozi.
She could now use it as well—even surpassing Sea God Bo Saixi and the current Lan Fozi.
Ignoring divine positions and directly controlling the power of laws—without the restrictions of a divine seat.
"Um… is there any way to wake Gu Yuena up?" Di Tian asked tentatively.
Others might not know, but Di Tian had watched Ning Rongrong's entire tribulation from start to finish.
If not for her special cultivation method that seemed to involve nirvana and rebirth,
she really would have been struck dead.
And that final God King-level tribulation lightning—seriously, was the Dragon God brain-damaged or just sick?
If you didn't want soul beasts to have any path to survival, just say it outright instead of slowly slicing them with a dull knife.
Fortunately, after Ning Rongrong broke through, the shackles on his own soul disappeared as well.
After the breakthrough, Ning Rongrong's strength had increased who-knows-how-many times. With one sword strike, she shattered the tribulation lightning completely.
Otherwise, it might have kept striking.
"Waking Gu Yuena up isn't impossible!"
"Kekeke~"
Looking at the purple lightning crackling in Ning Rongrong's palms, Di Tian's mouth twitched:
"That's tribulation lightning?"
"No, no, no—this is for massage." Ning Rongrong shot Di Tian a glare.
"I'm not that petty. It was just almost dying once—no need to take revenge on Gu Yuena with this."
"That's right, this is a necessary part of the treatment process."
"I remember in other worlds there's a so-called Thunderclap Dharma King god who's extremely skilled with lightning. It's especially effective on people whose minds are muddled—makes them feel refreshed and invigorated."
"But I'm afraid I can't reach that level. At most, it'll leave Gu Yuena medium-rare."
Di Tian: "…"
Medium-rare—that's basically ready to serve.
And that "kekeke" laugh.
What normal person laughs like that? Not even soul beasts make that sound!
She's clearly taking revenge. Of course, Di Tian didn't dare say that out loud.
Moreover, after spending so much time with Ning Rongrong,
he knew this Young Sect Master at least had some bottom line—she wouldn't actually cook her.
"Um... go easy on her."
With that, Di Tian turned around directly. He couldn't bear to watch.
"Don't worry. I've been struck so many times—I've gained some experience. Ah, ptooey ptooey."
Ning Rongrong stepped closer to the Silver Dragon King one step at a time.
The Silver Dragon King, who had almost no consciousness left, saw Ning Rongrong's slightly opened palm with purple electric arcs jumping across it. Her eyes immediately widened. She desperately twisted her body—whimpering sounds.
"Don't worry, Miss Gu Yuena. I will definitely make you sober."
"Kekekekeke~"
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to start, she seemed to think of something and turned her head toward Di Tian:
"Di Tian, go back to the Star Dou Great Forest and bring Bi Ji here."
"You can now use some space-time abilities. This distance should be quick for you."
Di Tian: "…"
Living King of Hell!
"Yes."
With his scalp tingling, Di Tian entered the teleportation space.
Moments later, Di Tian brought the well-behaved Bi Ji over.
Looking at the Silver Dragon King who now smelled of char and black smoke, eyes rolled back white—
"This… this is the Master?" Bi Ji's mouth twitched. She was utterly speechless.
"Ning Young Sect Master, although I want to, I still can't treat a god-level existence."
God-level and non-god-level were two completely different boundaries.
"No need to worry about that. Just use your ability—I'll observe and reference it. No need to actually heal."
"Oh."
Bi Ji's gaze passed over Ning Rongrong to look at Gu Yuena, who already looked like a dead dragon.
So miserable!
And Di Tian seemed to have defected too.
Without thinking further, pale green fluorescence rose from Bi Ji's body. The surrounding air filled with the aura of life.
"So that's how it's resolved."
Ning Rongrong nodded. The lightning jumping in her right hand vanished, replaced by a green glow.
She placed her hand on the Silver Dragon King. The green light quickly healed Gu Yuena's injuries. Soon, Gu Yuena woke up, groggily opening her eyes.
"Bang!"
Her head had just lifted when it was heavily smashed back down. Her eyes rolled white again, and she fainted once more.
"Super-divine artifact to the head…" Di Tian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words ultimately stuck in his throat.
The tribulation had been miserable enough, but venting like this… wasn't it a bit inhumane?
Mm, his newly acknowledged master was a little petty.
Better not say anything.
He was just a small artifact spirit—he didn't know, and he didn't dare say.
"Aooo ooo ooo!"
The Silver Dragon King's miserable cries echoed in the air.
Then she completely fainted.
"Time Reversal"
Ning Rongrong's pupils contracted. Gu Yuena's injuries visibly recovered at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.
"As expected, it doesn't work."
Ning Rongrong shook her head. Time Reversal couldn't touch the inherent rampaging nature of the Dragon God dragon soul—meaning it couldn't separate it from Gu Yuena. It could only be slowly worn away, erased bit by bit through healing.
Thus, the now-familiar Ning Rongrong once again applied lightning to Gu Yuena.
Once, twice, three times…
After who-knows-how-many times, the rampaging aura emanating from Gu Yuena gradually disappeared.
What made Di Tian and Bi Ji's scalps go numb the most was—
Their own master (former master).
The miserable cries from before, after countless shocks,
had turned into… moans…
