Free Web NovelSummer rain always comes without warning. Lu Yibei reluctantly paid the life experience consultation fee, got out of the car, and before he even reached the gate of Banshan Elementary School, he heard rumbling thunder coming from the sky.
And by the time he rushed into the only remaining teaching building of Banshan Elementary School, the torrential rain began to pour down.
Banshan Elementary School had already been abandoned for many years. Its buildings, eroded by wind and rain and lacking long-term repairs, were already considered dilapidated. Not long ago, they suffered significant damage during the urban legend incident triggered by Wang Yingying. Finding an intact room to shelter from the wind and rain was not easy.
By the time Lu Yibei hurriedly ran into the only remaining teaching building of Banshan Elementary School and found a relatively intact classroom, the rain outside the teaching building was already torrential.
In the campus, the exceptionally lush old banyan tree, the rubble accumulated after the collapse of buildings, and the overgrown sports field became blurred in the rain. The hanging autumn branches from the old banyan tree swayed in the strong wind, emitting a "na yi ya ya" wail.
Lu Yibei stood by the window, which had no glass, and placed several faintly glowing Alchemy Dirty Bombs on the windowsill for illumination.
The old banyan tree, bathed in the storm, was the connecting hub between Hua City and the God Kingdom Prototype. To detach the God Kingdom from its reliance on Hua City and transfer it into Lingtai Pure Karma, the first step was to sever the connection.
It was a troublesome yet ritualistic process, and Lu Yibei didn't want to carry it out in the rain.
Summer downpours come and go quickly. In just over ten minutes, the rain gradually subsided. As the rain weakened, Banshan Elementary School, like a treasure taken from behind a gauze curtain, began to become clear before his eyes.
Lu Yibei gazed at Banshan Elementary School in the rain, his brows tightly furrowed, a hint of reluctance rippling in his eyes.
In a way, the God Kingdom Prototype was the only thing Qinan Bamboo left him besides her life. After successfully gaining control of the God Kingdom Prototype, he would often come to Banshan Elementary School when he had nothing to do. He wouldn't enter the God Kingdom Prototype; he would simply sit under the old banyan tree.
His actions were likely similar to those who, when facing difficulties in life, go to sweep their mother's grave and pour out their troubles before her tombstone, harboring the same feelings.
Yes, Lu Yibei regarded Banshan Elementary School as Qinan Bamboo's tombstone.
Although he wouldn't, like those people, treat his mother's tombstone as the last reliance in the world, fawning over a cold, lifeless stone,
He wanted to, but he had never experienced it, so he couldn't at all.
A person might have more than one opportunity to be a parent in this world, but only one opportunity to be a child in their entire life. If they miss it, there's no chance to start over. freewebnσvel.cøm
"However, if a person lives shamelessly enough, there are many opportunities to be a grandchild," Lu Yibei muttered a piece of trash talk, using this method to forcibly interrupt his melancholic state.
The rain stopped.
The faint "pitter-patter" of raindrops on leaves and shattered tiles faded, leaving only the "drip-drop" of water falling from above after the rain.
It was time to ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ begin attempting to fuse the God Kingdom Prototype.
"Sorry, Mom," Lu Yibei murmured, composed himself, put away the Alchemy Dirty Bombs in front of him, and turned to walk out of the teaching building, towards the old banyan tree.
If he could, he actually didn't want to fuse the God Kingdom Prototype with Lingtai Pure Karma. frёeωebɳovel.com
Doing so felt like immediately selling off his mother's old house after she died and buying himself a new one.
But if he didn't, Lu Yibei felt uneasy.
In fact, the increase in combat power brought by fusing the God Kingdom Prototype was secondary. The crucial point was that the God Kingdom Prototype had already been discovered by the Eclipse Society, making covetousness inevitable. Furthermore, the God Kingdom Prototype had a solidified Spell anchoring it, left by Old man Zhang Huainan, placing it under the control of the Night Watch.
Thinking this way, the situation became complicated, as if the old house left by his mother was not only being watched by relevant departments, potentially to be nationalized at any time, but also by a group of unscrupulous developers with dark hearts and hands, ready to make a move.
It would be better to monetize the old house sooner!
Arriving under the old banyan tree, with the subtle control he had over every constituent part of the God Kingdom Prototype after gaining control of it, Lu Yibei quickly found the crucial connection point on the thick trunk of the old banyan tree.
Muttering, "All under the sun and moon, wherever wind and rain reach, none shall disobey," he activated Royal Authority to its extreme, while extending his hand and gently placing it on the rough tree trunk, infusing Spiritual Energy.
As Spiritual Energy was injected, the God Kingdom Prototype, sensing the arrival of its controller, began to change. The ground beneath his feet vibrated violently, crumbling apart, revealing bottomless fissures.
Amidst the violent tremors, huge stones inscribed with complex Spells rose from the ground, ascended, and floated in mid-air, colliding with each other and emitting a dull roar.
Once the roaring faded, the Spells on the giant stones glowed faintly, emitting brilliant beams of light that extended into the depths of the fissures, like bridges, piercing through the darkness.
Immediately after, a familiar sight appeared before Lu Yibei's eyes.
Rainwater and stones flew backward into the sky.
Stars were underfoot, and the city was in the sky.
The old banyan tree inverted, absorbing nutrients with its branches and leaves, allowing its roots to grow luxuriantly.
Then, Lu Yibei's body began to move slowly.
Light and airy, as if the gravity of the earth had lost its meaning, like falling, yet also like floating upwards.
Like an illusion, Lu Yibei felt himself brushing past countless colossal objects, but when he glanced around, he saw only a vast expanse of gray.
Upon entering this ineffable, wondrous state, Lu Yibei's body also began to change.
As if steam were rising, a faintly glowing mist billowed from her body, enveloping her. Under the shroud of mist, her body's outline could be vaguely seen rapidly shrinking, her limbs becoming slender, and her waist outlining alluring curves.
"Hmm."
Accompanied by a barely suppressed groan, the thick mist suddenly dispersed, as if shedding a disguise and revealing its true form. Lu Yibei completed her urban legend transformation, her silver-white hair spreading out behind her like a waterfall.
Unlike before, after completing her urban legend transformation, she did not enter the God Kingdom Prototype. Instead, by leveraging her control over the God Kingdom Prototype, she remained in a chaotic, hazy space.
Within it, she felt as if her soul had drifted from her body, suspended at an immense height, looking down.
She saw the lush branches of the old banyan tree within Banshan Elementary School, and she saw the roots of the old banyan tree buried deep underground.
From those dense, thick roots, even larger and more complex light-cast root phantoms extended downwards, accompanied by immense Spiritual Energy fluctuations, stirring up thousands of ripples that spread in all directions, exuding vibrant vitality.
At the end of the roots, a huge "bubble" floated in a chaotic space. Through the bubble's vibrantly colored outer wall, mountains, rivers, tall buildings, and streets could be vaguely seen inside.
"It somehow feels like I've activated backend management mode," Lu Yibei thought.
Her gaze lingered on the huge "bubble" for a moment. Lu Yibei collected herself and looked at the root phantoms extending to the "bubble." With a thought, she decisively severed the connection between the God Kingdom Prototype and Hua City.
The next moment, all that remained before her eyes was a vast expanse of blinding light, as if a supernova had exploded in front of her.
In a daze, something was collapsing. There was no explosion, no sound at all, just a silent disintegration.
Lu Yibei could feel the Spiritual Energy throughout the entire space violently vibrating, boiling like molten iron.
After an instant of brilliance and dazzling light, the blinding glare that made it impossible to open one's eyes completely dissipated.
Lu Yibei opened her eyes and looked ahead, seeing fragments left by the collapsing light-cast root phantoms drifting in a chaotic space, as if light had been crushed and scattered into a starless night sky.
Looking upwards, she could no longer see the old banyan tree, which had stood for an unknown number of years, possibly older than Banshan Elementary School itself.
Looking downwards, the broken light-cast root phantoms connected to the huge bubble, swaying back and forth like silken threads woven from rainbows, blown by the wind.
The God Kingdom Prototype had been connected to Hua City for a long time, constantly absorbing projections from Hua City and growing wildly, perfecting itself, like an epiphyte rooting itself on a large tree and drawing nutrients. Today, that connection was finally severed by the second-generation controller of the God Kingdom Prototype herself.
From now on, it would be independent of Hua City, developing and evolving in unpredictable directions according to the will of its controller.
In silence, Lu Yibei took several deep breaths, forcefully suppressing the jumbled thoughts that surfaced in her mind.
When she reshaped her body using the flesh and blood of the Invasion Beast, she almost molded herself into a "body of an ancient god" because of the chaotic thoughts in her head.
And now, fusing the God Kingdom Prototype, there were no longer projections from Hua City constantly correcting errors. Once any deviation occurred due to her, the controller, it might rush headlong in some absurd direction.
A moment later, when her thoughts were clear and her mind free of distractions, she parted her thin lips and said expressionlessly, "Then let's begin."
As she spoke, she had no emotional fluctuations, neither joy nor sorrow, as if everything was a matter of course, as it should be.
To successfully fuse the God Kingdom Prototype with Lingtai Pure Karma, she had made ample preparations and had full confidence.
As her words fell, her thoughts flowed.
The next moment, as if an invisible gravitational force emanated, those root phantoms connected to the God Kingdom Prototype, having just broken free from Hua City's shackles and aimlessly drifting, were drawn together, converging to a single point.
Converging towards Lu Yibei!
The instant countless light-cast roots pierced through her body, the emotions of millions of residents and an even greater number of creatures within the God Kingdom Prototype surged into her mind like an unstoppable torrent.
In a fleeting moment, she witnessed joys and sorrows, births, old age, sickness, and death. She saw sunrises and sunsets, spring passing and autumn arriving. She heard the cries of newborns in the delivery room and smelled the sweet fragrance of wild grass.
Immediately, she felt her consciousness being torn apart by a brute force, beginning to dissipate.
Before losing consciousness, two thoughts inexplicably flashed through her mind.
This pain is at least dozens of times worse than extracting the raw materials for Human Fireworks.
With so many emotions flooding into her mind at once, it's no wonder the Great Serpent God went so mad.
Thinking this, she clutched the Human Fireworks letter she had already prepared, activated her Spiritual Energy, and crushed it, allowing the Human Fireworks powder to swirl around her body, drifting like smoke.
Then, it slowly integrated into her body.
