Chapter 23 The Silver Dragon King is Missing! Echoes from Beyond the Darkness
The image on the sky changed again.
The image continued to flicker.
Countless faces flashed by.
Ultimately, the image focuses on a young girl.
It was a black-haired girl standing in the courtyard of Shrek Academy.
She is tall and has a stunning figure.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet she was as cold as ice.
Her deep purple eyes were like a cold pool, revealing a distance and stubbornness that kept strangers at bay.
[Ding! The second chosen candidate: Zhu Zhuqing, a student of Shrek Academy, a level 28 Great Soul Master.]
The sound faded.
Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly.
She heard it.
They really chose her.
The taut string in my heart suddenly snapped.
Yet it was as if something had suddenly settled down.
Is it a sigh of relief?
Or will we fall into even deeper fear?
She couldn't tell the difference.
All she wanted to do was escape.
Escape the shackles of family.
Escape Dai Mubai's disgusting entanglement.
To escape this predetermined, cold, and hopeless fate.
"Zhu Qing! You..."
Dai Mubai turned his head abruptly, his face filled with astonishment.
Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes, her gaze icy.
A sneer of undisguised mockery and disgust curled at the corners of her lips.
"Dai Mubai!"
Her voice was clear and crisp, yet chillingly cold.
"Please don't bother me anymore."
"And...you're really disgusting."
Dai Mubai's face instantly turned red.
Veins bulged on his forehead.
His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his eyes flashing with anger, resentment, and a hint of humiliation at being publicly shamed.
"Zhu Zhuqing! Don't be ungrateful! I'm doing this for your own good! That world..."
"For my own good?"
Zhu Zhuqing interrupted with a cold laugh, her eyes full of mockery.
"Keep your 'goodness' for those women in Soto City."
"My affairs are none of your concern."
She didn't look at Dai Mubai again.
I turned around, took a deep breath, and forced myself to calm down.
Just then, the image on the screen flickered for the last time and then froze.
The person in the picture is a middle-aged man.
Wearing the magnificent attire of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
His face bears some resemblance to Yu Xiaogang, but he appears more prosperous.
At this moment, he was slumped on the carpet in a luxurious room.
Between her legs, a dark water stain was spreading.
He was so scared he peed his pants.
[Ding! The third chosen one: Yu Luomian, elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, level 72 Soul Saint.]
"Second...Second Uncle?!"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
He stared wide-eyed at the disheveled middle-aged man on the screen, his voice trembling.
In the picture, several people are standing around the jade crown.
The leader was an elderly man with a dignified face and piercing eyes.
It was none other than Yu Yuanzhen, the Thunder Douluo and patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family!
Yu Yuanzhen looked at his younger brother, who was sprawled on the ground and had wet his pants, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
He shouted sternly.
"Stand up! You idiot!"
"You've completely disgraced our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family!"
He bent down, grabbed Yu Luomian by the collar, and lifted him up.
His voice was as cold as iron.
"Listen, Jade Crown!"
"When you get to that world, cheer up!"
"Even if I die, I cannot bring shame to my family!"
"Otherwise, even if you manage to come back alive, I'll skin you alive with my own hands!"
"Did you hear me!"
Yu Luomian's face was ashen.
My teeth are chattering.
His crotch was soaking wet, and he couldn't speak at all.
"Tsk tsk, Master, is this your second uncle?"
Dai Mubai had just been humiliated by Zhu Zhuqing and was holding back his anger.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's second uncle in such a state, he immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"You two... really do look alike."
He deliberately emphasized the word "like," glancing at the ground that Yu Xiaogang had previously urinated on.
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned red and then purple; he was filled with shame and indignation.
He wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
She abruptly lowered her head, avoiding everyone's gaze.
His voice was dry and hoarse as it was squeezed out of his throat.
"No...no...he's not my second uncle, you must have misheard..."
[Three explorers have been selected! This teleportation is about to begin.]
The sound from the sky curtain drew everyone's attention back.
[Explors will inherit the 'time debt' left behind by the first group of explorers on average. Current total debt: 300 points of Time-Space Power. Each person inherits 100 points of debt.]
[Please note: If you are unable to acquire enough resources to repay your debts during the exploration period, you will be eliminated upon your return.]
[Additionally, the Sky Curtain Shop is now open. All resources, knowledge, information, faith power, etc., that explorers plunder or acquire in the Perfect World can be submitted for evaluation and exchanged for 'Sky Curtain Points'.]
Points can be used to redeem items in the shop, including but not limited to: qualifications for divine inheritance, soul rings over 100,000 years old, divine artifacts, high-level soul tools, various rare and precious materials, cultivation techniques and secret arts, etc.
[Note: Items in the shop will be unlocked gradually as you progress through exploration.]
This message struck like a hammer blow to everyone's heart.
"A divine position?! You can even exchange for the qualification to inherit a divine position?!"
"A spirit ring over 100,000 years old! A divine artifact! My god!"
"Plundering can be exchanged for points? For a godhood? This..."
The entire continent went completely mad.
The previous fears were overshadowed by the overwhelming profits.
Divine position!
That is the ultimate goal that countless titled Douluo dream of!
A 100,000-year-old soul ring and a divine artifact—aren't they all treasures capable of stirring up bloodshed?
Now, as long as you go to that world to "plunder," you might be able to get it in return!
Countless Soul Masters' eyes turned red, and their breathing became heavy.
Even knowing the danger, the temptation was too great!
It's so big that people are willing to take the risk!
[This teleportation is initiating!]
Before everyone could finish processing what was happening, the voice from the sky suddenly rose in pitch.
Buzz—
Three dazzling golden rays descended from the sky, like a bridge of guidance.
The three of them instantly transformed into specks of light, shooting towards the sky and disappearing into the vast curtain of light.
The scene on the sky suddenly changed.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, staring intently.
However, the scene that came into view stunned everyone.
The sky was divided into three separate images.
The left-hand view shows a familiar scene of the Great Wilderness.
The mountains are vast and ancient trees reach for the sky.
Zhu Zhuqing appeared at the edge of a woodland.
She knelt on one knee, supporting herself with her hands on the ground, her face pale, clearly enduring immense pressure.
The middle scene is also a wild, untamed mountain forest.
Yu Luomian lay directly on the ground, his crotch soaked through again.
And the image on the right...
It was pitch black.
No, it's not pure black.
It is the kind of "nothingness" that devours all light, making even the concept of "black" seem pale.
An endless darkness pervaded the area.
It was as if all matter, time, and space did not exist.
Only a faint, deep, and continuous rumbling echo could be heard coming from a very distant place.
The sound was like billions of worlds collapsing at once.
It doesn't spread through the air; instead, it acts directly on the soul, causing a sense of unease.
"What happened?"
"Why can't we see anything over there, Silver Dragon King's side?"
"Did the teleportation fail?"
On the Douluo Continent, hundreds of millions of people are bewildered and at a loss.
They had expected to see the Silver Dragon King descend upon the other world and wreak havoc.
But what is this darkness before us?
