Free Web NovelThe moment Ms. Wang Meili gently placed the crown containing Power on Lu Yibei's head, Lu Yibei understood what Chatterbox Girl meant by "a tiny bit of risk".
In a trance.
Her ears buzzed incessantly, and like a hallucination, Lu Yibei heard a low whisper within the buzzing sound.
"Born a divine being, speak its name..."
"Born a divine being, speak its name... Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever wind and rain reach, none shall disobey..."
It was as if a box containing terrifying things had been opened inside Lu Yibei's body.
Even in her deep sleep, she still felt a torrent of violent Spiritual Energy gushing out from the opened box, filling her body like a balloon being inflated.
Just when Lu Yibei thought she was about to explode, the core of her mythical urban legend body, which had been dormant for a long time due to suppressing the Hundred-Armed Giant Power, suddenly became restless.
Burning Spiritual Energy, carrying astonishing high temperatures, circulated within her body, invading her organs, penetrating her skeleton, and burning fiercely as if attached to her soul.
It completely "ignited" everything that had surged into her body with the crown, leaving only the essence that was difficult to burn, which slowly integrated into her physical form.
An indescribable pain instantly engulfed her, causing her to unconsciously let out a hoarse wail.
Inside the small, flowing-light filled cabin restaurant, Lu Yibei floated in mid-air. Her entire body seemed to have crystallized, her translucent skin cracking inch by inch, emitting terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
In an instant, the terrifying power completely destroyed and pulverized the entire cabin, sweeping in all directions accompanied by a buzzing sound.
"Crack—crack—!"
Amidst soft sounds like crystals shattering, Lu Yibei's body rapidly "collapsed". Blood gushed out from within her, and before it could hit the ground, it was evaporated into a mist of blood.
The next moment, accompanied by a thunderous roar, her body also exploded and disappeared from the spot, just like the completely destroyed cabin.
"What the ♦... Did I explode?" Lu Yibei thought.
As her consciousness gradually drifted away, she vaguely heard a low whisper in her ear.
"Still can't bear it? It seems I'll have to help her out!"
"..."
That voice... was it Chatterbox Girl?
The last thought flashed through Lu Yibei's mind, and then her consciousness fell silent.

The afternoon sun shone down.
Jiang Li walked on the streets of Hua City, stopping occasionally to perform divination and locate Lu Yibei. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Once, twice... ten times...
As the results of each divination appeared before her eyes, she was certain that she was getting closer and closer to Lu Yibei.
However, just as she finished performing the fifteenth divination and was staring intently at the crystal in her hand, waiting for the result, she suddenly discovered that the result was abnormal.
According to the divination result, Lu Yibei was clearly very close, yet for some reason, she suddenly went to a very distant place.
So distant that the information fed back from the divination result was almost equivalent to "person not found".
"How could this happen? Is Lu Yibei no longer in this special space? Or is there something wrong with my divination?" Jiang Li frowned.
She was wondering if a step in her divination had gone wrong, leading to such an absurd result, when suddenly, an anomaly occurred.
The bright sunlight suddenly dimmed, and amidst the piled-up dark clouds in the sky, complex incantations were revealed, shining like stars.
Terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire city, making the air hot and sticky. In a trance, it felt as if lava was surging in the void.
Immediately after, pedestrians, vegetation, buildings... various things on the street quickly disappeared before her eyes. Everything in the city was shattering. By the time she came back to her senses, she was the only one left on the street.
The originally clean and tidy street visibly decayed and deteriorated at a rapid pace. Reinforced concrete crumbled, rust appeared on metal signs, and the road surface, as if eaten by worms, was covered with bottomless
"Boom—boom—!"
Terrifying roars echoed in the empty city.
Amidst the roars, the earth cracked open like blooming flowers, and dark red flesh emerged from the broken ground, constantly emitting strange cries. The moment they touched each other, they merged together.
Soon, massive dark red figures emerged, breaking free from restraints, revealing hideous faces, stretching their bodies, and crawling. Wherever they went, a sticky and foul-smelling rain of blood fell.
Gazing at those massive figures, Jiang Li's expression deepened. She had a feeling that those massive and twisted figures should be one entity, and should all be the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast.
As she was thinking, a thick fog spread throughout the city, engulfing everything.
----
In a daze, Lu Yibei felt someone slapping her face, each slap heavier than the last, making her cheeks ache.
Amidst a series of "slap, slap" sounds that made her cheeks red, Lu Yibei woke up with a start. She opened her eyes and saw the dilapidated and crumbling rooftop, as well as Chatterbox Girl, who was pale and weak.
"You're awake? Your buffs are fully stacked now, you can go feed the enemy!" freeweɓnøvel.com
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at Chatterbox Girl. "What kind of strange talk are you spouting? Be careful or I'll..."
As she spoke, she stood up, wanting to grab Chatterbox Girl by the collar and teach her a lesson. However, she suddenly realized after standing up that she was two heads shorter than Chatterbox Girl.
Thus, her arrogant demeanor was instantly extinguished.
Lu Yibei tilted her head back, examined Chatterbox Girl for a moment, and asked with narrowed eyes, "Why are you here again? Could it be that the matter is over? Have you come to collect the proxy fees?"
"It's still early!" Chatterbox Girl rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei. "Even if Sister I am a top-tier proxy, I can't instantly kill the enemy, right?"
"Then what are you doing here?" Lu Yibei said testily. "Why aren't you hurrying to do the real work?"
"I am doing the real work!" Chatterbox Girl said very seriously. "I'm here to inform you that, unfortunately, your ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ account is useless."
"What the heck?" Lu Yibei was startled.
What the heck! What does useless mean? Do I have to delete the account and start over?
"Simply put, your body couldn't withstand Ms. Wang Meili's Power and the massive amount of Spiritual Energy contained in this God Kingdom Prototype, and it exploded! Not even a single piece of intact flesh could be found!"
"..."
Lu Yibei expressionlessly raised her hands and grabbed Chatterbox Girl's neck. "I'll give you one more chance to rephrase that. If I'm not satisfied with what I hear, I'll twist your neck off."
"Let's not even talk about whether you can twist my neck off, even if you could..." Chatterbox Girl spread her hands and said helplessly, "You agreed to this yourself before."
"I did agree, but didn't you say there was only a tiny bit of risk?" Lu Yibei said viciously.
"Uh... haha!" Chatterbox Girl let out two awkward dry laughs. "A low-probability event happening with high probability, aren't you used to this kind of thing yet?"
"What's more, didn't I tell you long ago that Ms. Wang Meili's inheritance isn't that easy to inherit? Who knew you were so weak, you shattered upon touch."
"From what you're saying..." Lu Yibei squinted at Chatterbox Girl and frowned. "It's still my fault, then?"
"Not entirely! I'm partly responsible too." Chatterbox Girl said thoughtfully. "I didn't expect skipping class and sneaking away to be so difficult."
"Although Ms. Wang Meili was only a Half-Guitan, her Power was severely incomplete, making it difficult for her to become a true Calamity level when she was alive. But even so, her Power possessed some traits that only Calamity level beings have, which is something most Psychic and urban legend bodies cannot bear."
"However, the fortunate thing is that the essence of Ms. Wang Meili's Power has already merged with the core of your urban legend body. The rest is figuring out how to repair your body."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei frowned. "So, what are the traits of a Calamity level being?"
"No way?" Chatterbox Girl looked at Lu Yibei in surprise. "You've already encountered Calamity level urban legend like Plague Tai Sui, Maitian God, and Ju Meng, and you still haven't figured it out?"
"..." Lu Yibei thought for a moment, then said seriously, "No!"
Although Ju Meng is high on the Night Watch's wanted list and her Spiritual Energy fluctuation level is terrifyingly high, in Lu Yibei's eyes, she's actually not much different from the mischievous Smelly Girl next door.
As for Plague Tai Sui and Maitian God, she hasn't encountered the former's main body, and she didn't have time to hide from the latter, so how could she have the leisure to observe them?
Chatterbox Girl rubbed her forehead and explained, "Becoming Calamity level is like becoming a symbol, creating an inseparable connection with certain things or objects in this world."
"Huh? How is that different from urban legend being born from urban legend incidents during their spread?" Lu Yibei asked doubtfully.
"Simply put, urban legend exist because there are urban legend incidents, while Calamity level beings cause urban legend incidents to happen because they exist," Chatterbox Girl continued.
"Just like Maitian God and Plague Tai Sui, their very existence is no longer as simple as urban legend legends; they have become symbols of smog and plague."
"Or like Ju Meng, although she was initially granted Jumang's Power because of the faith of the people of Taoyuan, over time, through her continuous efforts, it is because of her existence that the people of Taoyuan believe that those miraculous things will happen."
"To put it more simply, because of their existence, the world, like natural Calamity such as earthquakes and tsunamis, is left with an indelible impact."
Lu Yibei roughly understood what Chatterbox Girl meant, nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Then what does Ms. Wang Meili's Power symbolize?"
"People," Chatterbox Girl said solemnly. "To be precise, it should be the one who leads everyone, which is... the human emperor."
Lu Yibei, "??"
