Chapter 632: Chapter 531: I Can’t Wait Any Longer
"If the gods have health bars, then can’t I slay the gods!"
A calm yet overwhelmingly domineering voice resonated in the Dream Realm.
At the same time, a virtual figure gradually became real.
It was none other than Shang Jianyue, another Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse who had disappeared for a long time!
Within the Divine Heart, Shang Jianyue had been subjected to the greatest extent of interference by the Dream Realm, also getting swept into it.
He quickly responded, shielding all his emotions, reverting to the state of Intelligent Mechanical Life, without letting desires take control.
But even so, because of Frog merging with the Divine Heart, Shang Jianyue had been unable to successfully escape from within it.
Until just now, when Han Zhan’s "Severed Realm" helped him cut through the Dream Realm, allowing his true self to break free from restrictions and reappear.
Although Shang Jianyue had played a passive role during the initial phase of the battle, he did not come away empty-handed.
As the Shang Family Ancestor, once a genius a generation ahead, from the Dream Demon Frog’s methods and the Dream Dao, he also understood by analogy and explored his own path!
A path that belonged solely to Intelligent Mechanical Life, a Virtual Dao!
"The Realm of Transcendence and Tier Nine aren’t as inscrutable as you make them out to be."
"In my view, taking that step from Tier Nine Peak to Transcendence is all about one thing."
"And that is the Domain!"
The Domain is a derivative of the Origin.
This is also why Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses who possess Original Dao Soldiers find it easier to achieve breakthroughs.
From within the Divine Heart, Shang Jianyue glimpsed this secret from various signs and methods of Frog.
"Although I haven’t figured out how to create my own Domain, I’ve expanded my abilities with the Virtual Dao."
"For example, like this."
After Shang Jianyue finished speaking, he lightly tapped his right index finger toward the direction of the Dream Demon Frog’s entity, the Divine Heart.
Suddenly, a silver light flickered between his fingers.
An inexplicably unknown feeling surged into Frog’s body.
Causing this Half-Step Transcendence powerhouse to speed up in questioning angrily:
"What did you do?!"
"Nothing much." Shang Jianyue shrugged.
Wearing a black suit, a gentleman’s hat, and holding a silver cane, he pointed above Frog’s Divine Heart.
"Just like I said at the start."
"I only added a ’health bar’ to your so-called ’gods’."
Health bar?
Health bar!
Following Shang Jianyue’s direction, Han Zhan truly saw a long health bar appear above the Dream Demon Frog’s entity!
A health bar identical to what a BOSS would have in an online game he had played in his past life!
Inside the health bar was a long string of numbers:
999999999/999999999.
"Almost a billion in health, it truly befits the status of a Half-Step Transcendence." Han Zhan couldn’t help but exclaim.
"A health bar?! Why do I have such a thing on me! How did you accomplish it?!"
Just like how Frog initially mocked Han Zhan, Shang Jianyue’s unprecedented Virtual Dao was also an unknown territory.
As a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse, it wasn’t surprising that Shang Jianyue could come up with new methods.
"Nothing much, I just ’datafied’ you."
"Don’t forget, I’ve already completed a thorough survey inside your Divine Heart."
Shang Jianyue shrugged.
Datafication, giving a specific numerical value to any object, is the new method in the path of Virtual Dao that he developed.
Seeing the long string of numbers above the Dream Demon Frog, Shang Jianyue clicked his tongue.
His figure disappeared, reappearing next to Han Zhan.
"How about it?" Shang Jianyue smiled, sending an invitation to Han Zhan, "Would you like to join me in draining this arrogant guy’s health bar?"
Han Zhan shook his sore arm from slashing two Severed Realms in succession, then pulled out dozens of Energy Bricks, biting into them like candy.
"I’d be delighted."
...
Blue Star, Crimson Sea of Blood.
Now, the Crimson Sea of Blood was already empty.
The Crimson Insect Race, accumulated over several years, had all perished on the battlefield of Donglin Fortress.
In the vast sea of blood, there were only two figures left.
One of which was a cocoon as tall as a human.
Inside this crimson blood cocoon, a strong and powerful heartbeat rhythmically echoed.
Anyone who heard this heartbeat, as long as they were below Tier Nine, would directly explode and die.
Inside, unimaginable terrifying energy was merging and being nurtured.
The aura it emitted had already surpassed the scope of Tier Nine Peak, becoming unprecedentedly terrifyingly powerful.
"Almost there."
"It is about to be born."
Yi Fan looked at the blood cocoon, eyes filled with intoxication, as if gazing at a perfect work of art.
At this moment, he was dressed in a white shirt, with a black vest over it, the collar tied with a bow tie.
Looking exactly like a bartender.
At some point, a refined bar was built in the deepest part of the Sea of Blood, with an entire wall of display cabinets filled with drinks next to it.
Yi Fan skillfully mixed drinks.
The first one was plum.
It consisted of three layers: light blue, pale red, and orange.
A delicate wine glass perfectly presented these coexisting colors.
It also contained two not too big, nor too small plums and a mint leaf for garnish.
The mixed "plum" was placed on the bar counter.
Yi Fan began making the second drink.
The second one was Flaming Red Lips.
Flaming Red Lips was a fiery drink.
After completion, it was entirely red, with several rose petals floating on top, exuding a subtle floral fragrance.
Then came the third drink.
When Yi Fan began mixing the third drink, he directly poured both the "plum" and "Flaming Red Lips" into the shaker, shaking it wildly.
In his hands, the shaker moved like a silver butterfly dancing wildly in the storm, frenzied yet elegant.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Yi Fan suddenly stopped, placing the shaker heavily on the bar, creating a loud "bang" sound.
He opened the shaker, pouring the contents into a third high-stemmed glass.
The third drink was crimson.
Its name was "Crimson."
Yi Fan elegantly picked up the glass, gently swirling it.
The crimson liquid swayed with the glass.
He looked up at the sky, as if he could see further scenes through the sky.
"By my calculations, the two whom I exiled to the infinite void should be returning to Blue Star soon."
"And with the reappearance of the Void Origin, the final piece of the plan is in place, everything is just perfect."
"The last revelry belonging to us is finally about to commence."
After saying this, Yi Fan drank the contents of the glass in one go.
He opened his arms towards the sky, closed his eyes, and showed a face full of anticipation.
"Come on, I’m already—impatiently waiting!"
