Chapter 998: Gui Biao Is Hopeless
The crisp sound of dark black chains shattering was the only melody in this silent world.
It was like a life-threatening tune, making Gui Hua feel dizzy, as if the sky was darkening, or rather, her vision was darkening.
She felt so dizzy, “This Lord must be dreaming,” Gui Hua thought, completely hopeless.
Luckily, after the third chain broke, there was no further sound.
However, this was enough to awaken the Pale Dragon God and unseal a lot of her divine power.
What surprised Gui Hua was that the Star-skirt woman merely glanced at her, then paid no further attention. Instead, she turned her gaze to the lowly human beside her, her vertical pupils narrowing slightly as she stared quietly.
Time slowly passed. The Star-skirt woman seemed capable of staring at Xia Feng like this indefinitely, motionless and serene.
After a long while, she seemed to recall something. She shifted her gaze back to the Woman in Phoenix Dress and asked indifferently, “Who are you?”
“…”
Gui Hua’s heart skipped a beat. “She doesn’t remember me?”
However, she wasn’t too surprised. After all, the Pale Dragon God and the Abyss were inherently powerful but required constant dragon molting, during which losing some memories was normal.
“If that’s the case, then it would be too perfect. She won’t remember how I harmed her with my misfortune authority back then…”
The Star-skirt woman seemed to notice something, her vertical pupils narrowing slightly. “Yue Hongli? You are Gui Hua Xingjun.”
“…”
At the same time, the frozen world finally resumed its operation. The Woman in Phoenix Dress blinked, subconsciously wanting to retreat back into the space-time channel.
“Hm?” A faint hum made her halt her movement. She silently withdrew her snow-white feet and looked up at the Divine Seat with her charming, innocent eyes, resembling Yue Hongli. She blinked and said, “Lord Dragon God, I think this must be a misunderstanding.”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xia Feng, who was respectfully standing by the Divine Seat, immediately took a half-step forward, filled with righteous indignation. His voice trembled as if he had suffered endless grievances. “Lord Dragon God, this woman wanted… wanted to turn me into a dog, to use me as her footrest day and night, tormenting me! Lord Dragon God, you must uphold justice for your most loyal believer!”
“!!!”
The Woman in Phoenix Dress glared at Xia Feng in disbelief. However, before she could get angry, an unprecedentedly terrifying divine pressure slammed down.
Her charming eyes froze. The Star-skirt woman, seated high in the heavens, had vertical pupils filled with displeased, murderous rage as she stared coldly at her.
“Huh? What’s going on? Xia Feng is just a believer, isn’t he?”
“How many years ago, when she was chasing me, her fury wasn’t even a tenth of this!”
Now, just because of a believer’s words, she was enraged to the point of world destruction.
She had thought the Dragon God would be enraged because she intended to harm the Heavenly Martial Empress, but she never expected that the Dragon God wouldn’t even bother to investigate but would first attack her based on her believer’s words.
The Woman in Phoenix Dress frowned. Under the Supreme Divine Pressure, her face turned somewhat pale, and even her newly restored divinehead began to wail. Her knees felt an intense pain, and they slightly bent.
It was as if she was about to prostrate herself before the being on the Supreme Divine Seat and admit her guilt.
But, “Even the Pale Dragon God is not worthy of making this Lord kneel!”
Her charming face turned cold. Enduring the divine pressure, she stood straight, pursed her lips, and was about to say something more.
Beside the Divine Seat, that despicable man suddenly spoke, “Lord Dragon God, Yue Hongli has already been devoured by her. It’s not good to imprison or kill her now. So, why don’t you bestow upon her the Pale Divine Seal and, along with the Calamity Contract in my hand, bind her completely? Let the Golden Sparrow Flower clan become Your Majesty’s puppets, serving us.”
The Star-skirt woman quietly stared at her believer, listening to his every respectful word and action. Her gaze never wavered until the believer looked up in confusion and called her “Your Majesty.” Only then did she regain her senses and nod faintly, saying, “Everything is as you say.”
“Gui Hua!!!”
Gui Hua clearly remembered that the Dragon God was very picky when it came to taking in believers of the divine level. She had always disliked Gui Hua Xingjun, thinking she would bring endless misfortune. Therefore, when recruiting divine believers, she had never considered her.
Of course, Gui Hua Xingjun, accustomed to freedom, naturally didn’t want to be a subordinate to the Dragon God.
She was even less willing now!
She could even imagine how that hateful human, so favored by the Pale Dragon God, would humiliate and torment her if she became a believer of the Pale Dragon God.
It would be hell!
But given the current situation, if she didn’t pay some price, the Pale Dragon God might not let her go easily.
The Woman in Phoenix Dress narrowed her charming eyes and said, “Lord Dragon God, you must also know that if I wanted to escape, even you couldn’t stop me.”
Hearing this, Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
Indeed, Gui Hua controlled fate. Even when besieged by all the gods in the past, and even when pursued by the Pale Dragon God at her peak, she could still escape. It was naturally extremely difficult to kill her.
Of course, this was assuming she paid a heavy price.
For example, Gui Hua split into two, one falling into the Imaginary River, and the other falling out of her divine position, slumbering for countless years before awakening.
“So, why don’t we each take a step back?”
The Woman in Phoenix Dress raised her charming face, the corners of her eyes slightly curved. “This Lord can lead the Golden Sparrow Flower clan to become your subordinates, Lord Dragon God. I will even establish a lawful contract and accept all your orders, even to death. But the Pale Divine Seal can be dispensed with. You know, this Lord can be quite unlucky sometimes. If I truly become your divine believer, it might bring you ill fortune. What do you say?”
Although it seemed like a refusal, this was indeed the reality. The Star-skirt woman and the Woman in Phoenix Dress simultaneously looked at Xia Feng.
Xia Feng was stunned. “Why are you looking at me? I don’t understand these things. Maximizing benefits is your business, alright?”
After thinking for a moment, he had a thought. “Lord Dragon God, is there any way to repair the Gui Hua Calamity Contract in my hand?”
Miss Evil Dragon nodded imperceptibly and looked down at the Woman in Phoenix Dress again. “Let’s each take a step back. I can let you leave safely, but you need to sign a new Calamity Contract with my believer and be bound by him.”
“?!”
Gui Hua’s pupils slightly constricted. “What kind of ‘taking a step back’ is this?”
“Otherwise, Gui Hua, for your attempt to devour my remnant spirit and your foolish crime of the divine system devouring me, I will pursue it to the end, and we will be enemies until death!” the Star-skirt woman declared.
“?!!!”
Gui Hua closed her eyes, completely hopeless, and no longer wanted to speak.
“Nonsense!”
“The Heavenly Martial Empress is your remnant spirit?”
“If you had said so earlier!!”
“If you had said so earlier, this Lord…”
“This Lord would have prepared meticulously for another thousand years, and then I would have devoured you, this mere Dragon God, through the divine system!” Gui Hua snorted coldly in her heart.
She now truly regretted it, regretting why she hadn’t been more careful.
If she had succeeded in devouring the Dragon God’s remnant spirit, she might have even been able to trace back to the source and attack the Dragon God’s main body!
At that time, with her, Gui Hua, as the main god, and the Pale Dragon God as her subordinate god, it would have been simply too wonderful! All those evil gods who had besieged her back then would have to tremble and prostrate themselves before her, Gui Hua Divine Master, begging for mercy.
“Just thinking about it…”
“Hm? It seems you disagree?”
A solemn voice echoed through heaven and earth.
