Chapter 90: Returning to the Perfect World

Seeing Chu Tiange, a Breakthrough Realm expert, die at Yang Qi's hands, Yun Hailan finally felt a deep fear. "Yang Qi, you can't kill me! The Crown Prince values me greatly. If you kill me, he won't let you off!" "The Crown Prince? Hmph! If he doesn't come for me, I'll go for him." Yang Qi looked at Yun Hailan with a cold voice, old hatred surging in his heart. He reached out, and the Nether God's Spear instantly appeared in his hand. "Die!" Yang Qi attacked the Dragon Pearl. This Dragon Pearl was also a supreme treasure, possessing infinite power. However, Yun Hailan currently only had the Cultivation of a Qi Master, so she couldn't unleash much of the Dragon Pearl's power! "Bang! Bang!" Yang Qi's terrifying attacks landed on the Dragon Pearl. The Dragon Pearl emitted a dazzling light, and a silver-white miniature Dragon swam within it, a vast aura sweeping in all directions. The Dragon Pearl contained the power to suppress all evil demons and possessed a Divine Dragon's will. Yun Hailan herself had the Dragon God Bloodline, and her compatibility with the Dragon Pearl was extremely high. Therefore, she could easily borrow the power from the Dragon Pearl. However, in the face of absolute strength, the effect of external objects was limited. Her own strength was too weak to unleash much of the Dragon Pearl's power. In just a blink of an eye, Yun Hailan coughed up blood. Although the Dragon Pearl protected her, she was still injured by the shock in front of Yang Qi's Nether God's Spear. Yang Qi said nothing, only brandished his spear again. Yun Hailan coughed blood once more, feeling Yang Qi's overwhelming killing intent. Boundless fear completely permeated her heart. Under absolute strength, she now understood that all schemes and tricks were futile. She had used Yang Qi to obtain the Fuyong Pill, then gained the Crown Prince's favor, and acquired the Dragon Pearl... With all these opportunities, she was only one step away from the Breakthrough Realm. But in front of Yang Qi, she was incredibly weak. "Yang Qi, don't kill me!" Yun Hailan begged for mercy again. "I am willing to betray the Crown Prince and become your woman from now on, never betraying you again. Spare my life!" She lowered herself, putting on a pitiful appearance, then pleaded for mercy. Yang Qi, however, ignored her and once again swung the Nether God's Spear. "Boom!" The light on the Dragon Pearl finally dimmed, its power exhausted. Yun Hailan lost the Dragon Pearl's protection. "If you had known this day would come, why did you do what you did?" Yang Qi appeared before Yun Hailan, then extended a finger and pointed it at her head. A powerful surge of Qi forcefully pierced through her head and Sea of Consciousness. Yun Hailan's Soul was annihilated by Yang Qi! "Ah!" Yun Hailan screamed, then left a venomous curse. "Yang Qi, you are so ruthless. I remember you. I will be entangled with you for all eternity..." Subsequently, her entire body turned into ashes. Yun Hailan died at Yang Qi's hands. "Hoo!" Yang Qi let out a heavy breath. After killing Yun Hailan, he felt his entire being become incredibly refreshed and lighthearted. It seemed as if a surge of power and pressure had been endlessly released. All his cells were cheering, and the shackles on his mind were completely broken! "Finally, my wish is fulfilled; I've killed this woman..." Yang Qi felt a little dazed. In his mind, countless scenes surfaced. Interacting with Yun Hailan, then stealing the Fuyong Pill for her, and finally being abandoned by her... Being struck by lightning, gaining the Mark of the Gods, obtaining the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength... and the chat group. Countless memories surfaced in his heart. In just half a year, so many things had happened. He had personally avenged his enemy, enjoyed his revenge, and met many friends... "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. What should pass, will never return!" Yang Qi's wish was finally fulfilled. "Brother Shi, thank you for your assistance!" After everything concluded, Yang Qi gratefully said to Shi Jian beside him. "I didn't do anything after coming, just watched the show..." Shi Jian said with a smile. He came to support Yang Qi and prevent any unexpected situations. Since no unexpected situations occurred, he naturally didn't need to act. So he watched the entire show from the sidelines. He even started a live broadcast. Of course, he had Yang Qi's permission to live broadcast. Yang Qi bowed to the Void Realm with a respectful gesture. "Thank you, brothers, for your concern. I have completely slain my enemy. From now on, the sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap!" Yang Qi said in a good mood. [Xiao Yan: "You're unreliable, inviting only Shi Jian for help and not us. Aren't you treating us like strangers?"] [Fang Han: "Exactly, exactly. If you talk about emotions, I don't have much experience, but if you talk about killing, I'm an expert..."] [Lin Dong: "You're too long-winded, chatting with such a bunch of useless people for so long. You should have called me. My Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavens Finger..."] Shi Jian closed the live broadcast, and their chat moved to the chat group. [Yang Qi: "To kill a mere Chu Tiange and Yun Hailan, why would I need so many brothers? I only invited Brother Shi to stand by just in case!"] [Yang Qi: "When I'm going to slay the Crown Prince, I'll ask for your help, brothers!"] [Xiao Yan: "The Crown Prince? What a grand title. Does he dare to take such an arrogant nickname? Can he bear it?"] [Yang Qi: "The Crown Prince is the strongest in the Heavenly Mandate Academy. In the past thousand years of the Bountiful Continent, there have been countless extraordinary individuals, but the Crown Prince is the one who suppresses all of them..."] [Yang Qi: "He is a Heavenly God descended from the Upper Realm. Legend has it that his mother dreamed of a star falling to the ground from the heavens, and thus became pregnant and gave birth to him!"] Yang Qi saw that the people in the group were curious, so he explained the Crown Prince's origin. [Xiao Yan: "So, his father is a star? A star... slept with..."] Xiao Yan's focus was always unique. [Fang Han: "Dreaming of a star and giving birth to a child, that certainly sounds extraordinary!"] Fang Han was quite serious. [Lin Dong: "Who cares if he was born from his mother or if he has no father... Just deal with him when the time comes!"] Lin Dong performed as consistently as ever. [Meng Qi: "Sounds quite profound! In Earth's mythological texts, there are stories of people stepping on a giant's footprint and giving birth to a child, which is somewhat similar... This Crown Prince sounds like he has something."] Meng Qi also shared his thoughts. [Yang Qi: "Within three years, I will definitely slay him!"] After much deliberation, Yang Qi finally uttered these words. [Xiao Yan: "So you've been building up to this for half a day, just to say that you can slay this awesome Crown Prince within three years, right?"] [Meng Qi: "He's showing off!"] [Yang Qi: "I'm speaking the truth!!!"] After resolving Yang Qi's matter, Shi Jian returned to the Perfect World. At this moment, the Perfect World had completely exploded. News of the battle in the sea spread, shocking everyone who heard it. Shi Jian and Yang Qi's identities had long been exposed. One was "Ba Ba," and the other was "Black Emperor"... Yang Qi had appeared in the Virtual God Realm before, so many people had seen him. As the two of them went on a killing spree in the sea, slaying hundreds of Venerable experts, their reputations completely spread throughout the entire Lower Realm. The reason was simple: their battle achievements were too brilliant. Their strength was too terrifying! Though only in the Spiritual Realm, they slaughtered Venerables like dogs. Such Geniuses had never been heard of before. For a time, everyone was both afraid of and hated them... Especially the Taigu Divine Mountain and other forces. These forces were the main participants in this conflict, and their losses were the most severe. Their Spirit Bodies were slain, and most of their clan's Geniuses died. And the culprits behind all this were Shi Jian and Yang Qi. However, the shadow these two left on them was simply too great... For a time, the various Divine Mountain forces dared not retaliate. However, some forces had the backing of Upper Realm powers. Therefore, this news was also transmitted to the Upper Realm. Spiritual Realm experts slaying Venerables—such terrifying battle achievements caused a stir even in the Upper Realm! Some forces dispatched their successors to the Lower Realm, wanting to uncover Shi Jian's true nature. Shi Jian, however, was unaware of these things. After returning from the Sage King World, he immediately returned to Shi Village. From afar, Shi Jian saw a green glow enveloping the Void Realm. After several months of absence, the Willow Deity had grown even taller. The half-burnt tree trunk had now gained new life; most of the black old bark had peeled off, revealing vibrant vitality, with only a few patches of black skin remaining... Green willow branches hung down, each crystal clear, like a dazzling waterfall! Willow Deity's branches had recovered to several hundred. Recalling when she first revived, she only had five willow branches. "Little Stone is back..." Someone spotted him and immediately shouted. Shi Jian's several months of training away from home had truly worried the villagers. Although Shi Jian had displayed great strength... In the eyes of the old village chief and other villagers, Shi Jian was still just a child, no matter what. When a child leaves home, the elders are always concerned. Now seeing him return, a group of people rushed over and surrounded him. "Your strength has grown a lot!" After greeting the village chief and others, Shi Jian turned his scrutinizing gaze towards the Little Brat. After several months of not seeing him, the Little Brat had grown a lot! "My strength has reached eighty thousand catties..." Little Brat shouted, looking up at Shi Jian, his clear black and white eyes filled with a certain expectation. In just a few months, his strength had actually broken through to eighty thousand catties. This Cultivation progress was somewhat terrifying. "He's been fighting Vicious Beasts all this time..." Willow Deity's voice sounded in Shi Jian's ear, revealing a hint of appreciation for Little Brat. Clearly, while Shi Jian was away, Willow Deity had been nurturing Little Brat. And she was very satisfied with Little Brat's performance. Shi Jian rubbed Little Brat's head upon hearing this, then praised him: "That's great. It seems you listened to me and Cultivated well. This is your reward!" Shi Jian waved his hand, and a storage treasure appeared in his hand. Inside the treasure, it was all beast milk! The Vicious Beasts that produced this beast milk were at least of the Inscription Realm. This was a gift Shi Jian specially prepared for Little Brat. Little Brat took the treasure and then saw cans upon cans of beast milk piled up like a mountain inside. He was so happy he almost fainted! "Today, we're having a seafood feast!" Shi Jian looked at him, then at the other villagers, and said with a smile to everyone. He had come out of the sea using the teleportation array of the underwater race! Along the way, he had incidentally slain some Yao Beasts from the sea. These Yao Beasts ranged from the Inscription Realm to the Array Realm... They were top-tier Vicious Beasts. Shi Jian hadn't refined them. With his current terrifying Cultivation... Refining these Vicious Beasts wouldn't increase his strength much. It was better to give the Shi Village people a "big meal"! He took out a pile of Vicious Beasts: sea Dragons, giant turtles, silver-white sharks... The villagers living in the Great Wilderness had never seen Vicious Beasts from the sea! They all curiously went forward to touch this and that. The aunts and grandmas in the village smiled when they saw the mountain of ingredients and eagerly went to prepare the food. Shi Jian, meanwhile, was surrounded by Little Brat and the other children. These children were all asking him what the outside world was like. Shi Jian selected some content to tell the children. The old village chief and some other adults also listened nearby... Shi Jian only selectively told some stories, but even this made the villagers' blood boil. Especially Little Brat. "Big Brother, next time you leave, take me with you?" He wanted to explore the world with Shi Jian. "I'll consider it!" Shi Jian patted his head, then said with a smile. Shi Hao would definitely emerge into the world. He had already prepared the Martial King's Mansion instance for him. However, Shi Hao's current strength was still a bit lacking for venturing out. Returning this time was a good opportunity to help him improve his strength. Shi Jian recounted his various experiences during the past few months to the people of Shi Village. In the evening, he drank with the entire village, gathered around a bonfire, and enjoyed a grand feast together... They spent an incredibly joyful night. Only after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill did they disperse to rest. Back in his familiar room in Shi Village, Little Brat, with his big, blinking eyes, leaned close to Shi Jian: "Big Brother, can you help me look at what's in my subconscious? I want to know what happened back then?" Little Brat sounded a little nervous when he said this. It seemed he was afraid of uncovering a cruel truth... But he also wanted to understand what happened in the past. During Shi Jian's absence, Little Brat had grown a lot. As his strength increased, he also discovered his own unusualness. He often dreamed of some vague content. This content seemed related to his background. "Are you sure you want to know?" Shi Jian was a little surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected Little Brat to want to explore his background so soon. "In your subconscious, there are memories of your past. These memories are too painful, and someone sealed them for you!" "Are you sure you can bear these memories now?" Shi Jian asked him very seriously. Little Brat hesitated for a moment, then nodded earnestly. Although he was young, he could already fight Vicious Beasts in the Great Wilderness. He had seen blood. Those memories in his subconscious had always bothered him. He wanted to know the truth! "Good, since you want to know the truth... then I will give you the truth!" Shi Jian smiled when he saw his determined look, then acted to open up the memories deep within Little Brat's subconscious. Little Brat was immersed in his past memories. A child of about three years old appeared in his memories. Although this child was young, he was very steady, with four pupils. Within his pupils, divine light flowed, subtly revealing a kind of majesty! Heavy Pupils. These three words suddenly appeared in Little Brat's memory.
