Chapter 492: Ch 492 – Let’s End This Here II
“Wen Ruxiu wins.”
The hawk masked lady’s calm declaration left Yino, who was half-kneeling on the ground with his white robes partially burned away by the demonic abyss, stunned in place.
It was like experiencing an absurd, illogical fantasy.
He had stumbled into this hundred-year memory belonging to Jing Chen. He saw a villain trying to ruin Jing Chen’s life, attempted to save it, fought with all his might, yet still couldn’t win.
Such a farcical ending seemed to say that all of Yino’s previous efforts were futile…
Even as a transmigrator with memories of a past life, even with numerous collectibles at his disposal, even if Yino executed every detail perfectly, he simply couldn’t defeat Wen Ruxiu in this dream today. After all…
The other’s head had been cut off, yet he could still cheat, resurrect, turn into a giant dragon, and then sweep across the entire screen with a hellish greatsword. How was anyone supposed to fight that?!
Wasn’t this clearly a scripted death?!
Wait…
Scripted death…
Suddenly, Yino felt a strangely familiar sense of déjà vu.
Destiny…
Destiny wants me to lose here…
Could this also be part of so-called Destiny?
Kneeling at the very back of the divine hall, an unprecedented sense of defeat and absurdity made everything before him seem meaningless.
Anyway…
He was just passing through.
The true ending had long been predetermined by the master of this Liuli Illusion Realm, hadn’t it?
Jing Chen…
That coward…
Not only could he not defeat Wen Ruxiu himself, but now he made me relive his helplessness, pain, and even the despair of publicly losing his wife in a duel.
“Ruoning…”
“Right, RUONING…”
Amid the suffocating pressure, Yino suddenly thought of a certain crucial woman.
According to the wager, since he lost, Ruoning would be taken away by the Divine Abyss Gate.
Yino was beginning to struggle to distinguish reality from illusion.
If all of this were real, then Yino would have truly lost both the illusion and his life.
“According to the wager, the Holy Maiden returns to the Divine Abyss Gate.”
On the high platform, the red-robed young lady wearing the hawk mask coldly announced the conclusion.
As her words fell, the black dragon in the center of the hall transformed back into Wen Ruxiu’s human form.
“Brother Yino…”
“Your expression is truly delightful. When you stepped into that unfamiliar secret realm all those years ago and seized an opportunity that was never yours, did you ever imagine the day would come when your creditor would track you down for reckoning?” Wen Ruxiu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unprecedentedly arrogant and mocking.
He stepped forward, grabbed Yino by the hair, and even lifted a leg to press him underfoot…
Yino remained expressionless throughout.
That’s right…
He was merely a player forced into this fantasy.
He didn’t even have the right to choose the storyline. All he could do was maintain equanimity and endure the public humiliation that Jing Chen had suffered back then.
Yino would remember this grudge.
Not only against the utterly despicable Wen Ruxiu before him but also against Jing Chen, the Liuli Palace Master who created this Illusion Realm and had such masochistic tastes… Jing Chen was even more of a bastard than Wen Ruxiu.
No wonder…
No wonder when Yino first stumbled into this hidden illusion, he was puzzled why the people in it referred to them as Yino and Ruoning instead of the historical Jing Chen and Dia.
Now… As Yino was stepped on and mocked by Wen Ruxiu, who called him by name directly, he truly understood.
So using the player’s real name was for greater immersion, huh?
Damn bastard, if I don’t smash this illusion today…
Kneeling on the ground, face pressed to the floor, Yino secretly gritted his teeth and swore inwardly.
He looked up, trying to find Ruoning’s figure, only to see the entire illusion becoming blurry and distorted bit by bit.
“So this is the ending of the fourteenth hidden layer…”
“Truly tasteless.”
Yino was almost laughing in anger.
Knowing he was powerless in someone else’s dream, he closed his eyes and waited quietly for the illusion to end.
But just as the illusion dissipated to its final second…
“Wait!”
“This old man disagrees! Ruoning has long been accepted into the Liuli Sect. In our five hundred years of prosperity, the Liuli Sect has never betrayed a single righteous compatriot!”
“Now, Miss Ruoning is part of the Liuli Sect in life, and her ghost shall remain with us in death!”
“Heavenly Eye, please report back to the National Advisor. The Divine Abyss Gate acts tyrannically without principle! Miss Ruoning has spent years exorcising demons and eliminating evils for the people of Jiangnan, her merits are vast and her virtue profound! The Liuli Sect will absolutely not hand her over to the Divine Abyss Gate to be sacrificed to that evil dragon of the Eastern Sea!”
This…
The familiar roar of the old Sect Master made Yino raise an eyebrow slightly, reigniting a sliver of hope deep within.
As expected, there was still a plot twist!
If the Crown Prince of the Divine Abyss Gate could simply take the Primordial Phantom Butterfly away so easily, then when Yino put on the ring in the secret chamber back then, he wouldn’t have seen the vision of a stunning beauty appearing out of nowhere.
And now, considering the old Sect Master’s words, there was no doubt that stunning beauty was National Advisor Changli.
“Could it be that National Advisor Changli killed Dia…?”
A renewed wave of doubt ignited within Yino.
But as the illusion fluctuated, Yino steadied himself in the void. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the central hall of the fourteenth layer of the Liuli Realm.
Boom! Boom!
Boom!
Three teleportation gates opened simultaneously ahead.
Yino looked closely, certain this meant he had passed the fourteenth layer’s trial.
And Wen Ruxiu, who had just stepped on him and mocked him, seemed never to have existed.
“Yino!”
Not far away, the figure of a young lady also emerged from the void.
She rushed forward and hugged Yino tightly, and he reciprocated. Only after repeatedly checking that the other was unharmed did they finally let out a deep breath.
“That scared me… I almost mistook the illusion for reality.”
Yino exhaled lightly, a trace of weariness evident on his face.
“I thought… I’d never see you again!”
Ruoning felt the same.
Pouting, she had wanted countless times to rush down and help Yino during his duel with Wen Ruxiu, but due to some law of the illusion, she couldn’t move an inch from the platform.
In the end, Ruoning could only watch helplessly as Yino was nearly killed, her heart leaping into her throat!
After all, who knew if dying in the illusion meant real death?
“Don’t mention it. I’m furious now…”
Tears welled in Ruoning’s eyes, full of grievance, and Yino couldn’t help but clench his fist.
Without delay, he planned to quickly clear the final layer of the illusion, then go to the Liuli Divine Hall, drag that old fool down from his throne, and give him a couple of good kicks.
Such a trashy illusion probably couldn’t be conceived without experiencing the pain of losing a wife multiple times…
In a way, it did match Jing Chen’s growth journey in history.
“Let’s go. Sister Dia seems angry now too!”
Ruoning clenched her fists, her expression instantly shifting from earlier grievance to determined resolve.
She gritted her teeth slightly, sharing in Yino’s anger.
But just as the young couple was seething with indignation, they turned around and unexpectedly locked eyes with a handsome man in red robes approaching them.
“Huh…”
“You two, where did you pop out from?”
The Crimson Prince froze in place, as if he’d seen a ghost, inexplicably feeling that this scene was somewhat unreal.
Yino and Ruoning also raised their eyebrows.
“This… this is quite timely!”
After a moment of confrontation and daze, the Crimson Prince seemed to think of something, an excited smile curling his lips.
“I’ve been looking for you two for ages. To think we’d meet like this. you little troublemakers actually made it to the fourteenth layer!”
Amid the banter, the Crimson Prince spread his robes open, revealing the six gleaming golden collectibles hidden beneath.
“Hehehe…”
“Let me introduce myself. I am, the most beautiful and handsome Crimson pr… huh?!”
Before he could finish, Ruoning transformed into a faint purple phantom butterfly and charged at him with a punch.
Boom!!!!!
An explosion suddenly rang out.
