I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 661 - 146: The Real Solution Is on the Surface

Time goes back to before.

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor arrived at the most painful moment of his life in his dream.

"Get away, you big-headed dragon."

"Your head is swollen like a big water bubble, it's disgusting."

"Monster, monster."

"Why is your head so big, why is your head so big..."

Beatings, insults, silent treatment, filled his entire childhood.

At the age of eighteen, one night, a group of young dragons viciously beat his head with sticks, thud thud thud, blood spread on his head, his head exploded, and his brain lost consciousness.

He only vaguely heard cries for help.

"His big head, how did it crack open, how did it become nine petals, how did it bite me?"

"Help, someone help me."

"My head, my head."

When he woke up again, there were eight headless bodies of young dragons on the ground.

From that moment, he realized, it was not that his head was big, but that his head could split into nine necks.

"Where is this... I remember the past again." The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor slowly opened his eyes, looking at the white surroundings, void and empty.

Behind him, the headless young dragons were talking, "You woke up? You remembered us? We only knocked on your head, we all begged you for mercy, yet you killed us."

"Did you finally remember us!" Another group of powerful past Dragon Emperors stepped forward, "You killed us... took our heads, is it because you felt guilty? Or did you feel lonely?"

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor coldly said, "No, I have already forgotten who you are. From the moment I discovered my strength, I knew I was born to be the epitome of despair, the supreme king, slaughter itself, the king of the Dragon Race at the top of the food chain."

"I let the sea domain I manage also fall into an endless food chain, where the slaughter of living things could achieve the cycle, could make the world beautiful."

Voices rose and fell behind him,

"Heh heh, you're just afraid of loneliness."

"Pride is just the mask of you, this coward, you crave friends, crave us... as a child, you were a coward, wanted to play with us, you were shrouded in loneliness, and also yearned to escape loneliness... it was loneliness that destroyed you, but you dare not face it."

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor looked at them coldly, without speaking.

"Face yourself, when you know who you really are, you will awaken..."

"A coward deceiving himself with arrogance."

"I know who I am, haha."

"The flower blooms and I see myself, haha."

...

The rising and falling voices continued, not knowing how long, infected by the noise for an unknown time.

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor began to hallucinate, experiencing a new split in personality, continually conversing with himself, countless childhood shadows replayed in his mind.

Not knowing how long, he finally started facing loneliness...

"I am..." The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor slowly opened his eyes, sneered, "A coward? Ha, what an interesting dream, interesting me, those damn guys actually tried to mislead me..."

"The flower blooms and I see myself, I know who I am."

"I... am not afraid of loneliness at all, I just don't know how to enjoy loneliness!!"

A profound aura slowly erupted from him, shaking the heavens and the earth, marking the birth of a Ghost King.

"Kings are born to be lonely."

He recalled things from his past life, remembered how weak, pathetic, and immature he was in his youth.

"Am I now realizing my true self?"

"No, preventing me from realizing who I am, is indeed because I am a coward!"

"The enjoyment of loneliness, standing on the peak of loneliness, is true loneliness... but before, above me, there was always Jiu Shui, preventing me from enjoying the solitude of the peak, the unrestrained freedom, so..."

"Let's start changing from now on, enjoy loneliness, embrace loneliness, become loneliness itself... this is the stance that the strongest peak of the Nine-State should have."

"Now, I will defeat Xian, defeat Jiu Shui, defeat all enemies... welcome the loneliness that belongs to a king."

Endless shock waves circulated on him.

He looked coldly at Xin Xichen in front of him, as well as the Bell Covering Magical Artifact above his head, the Four Swords of Punishment and Sacrifice crushed, and calmly said: "The Human Race is indeed despicable, trying to plot against me, unfortunately..."

"Still have to rely on me!!!"

The voice sounded like a terrifying sonic cry, resounding through the heavens and earth.

He threw out the Storage Ring, as the richest Dragon Emperor, he took out a large amount of matching Celestial Spirit Roots, even some with the difficulty of the Five Elements Cycle without hesitation.

Weak cultivators cannot withstand that kind of backlash.

But he is the strongest Dragon Emperor in the Nine-State, if he can't withstand it, there would be no creature in this world that could.

Crash!

A large number of Spiritual Roots were implanted.

As many as dozens of Celestial Spirit Roots, a number unprecedented in history.

One head is Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; one head is Thunder, Wind, Flame, Ice, Nether; one head is Yin Yang; one head is Light and Darkness... the nine heads seemed to contain all the powers of the world.

"Xian, is it? Let me meet you!!"

Roar!

The astonishing dragon roar resounded through the East Sea, this terrifying primordial Giant Dragon was born, every meridian twisted like steel, the strong wind surged, energy overflowed, as if it contained all the Five Elements attributes of heaven and earth.

"Xian!!!!"

An extremely violent, overbearing will rushed forward, this enraged Giant Dragon roared.

The flow of energy, Five Elements, Yin Yang, Creation of Heaven and Earth... at this moment he seemed to possess everything, simultaneously possessing the nine immortal spirit roots, feeling the whole world becoming so simple.

Every stretch of the body would cause a resonance and tremor of energy.

Boom!

Each head was circulating, shooting out explosive mixed energy, as if transforming into the only sun in the world.

"What immortal artifact, what technique? The Fire of Human Civilization? Nonsense!" Boom, the angry roar turned into surging Five Elements energy particles collision, Yin Yang particles collapsed, blooming infinite light and heat like a nuclear reaction.

He punched Xian flying away, instantly flashed behind the opponent, endless golden light rose again, fiercely punching to collapse his spine, tearing his wings,

"Weak beings rely on skills, the perfect ultimate being only needs to sweep across!"

The Chaos Nine-headed Dragon Emperor sneered, his aura erupting wildly, "Next, let me show you what the era of immortal spirit roots looks like."

Boom boom boom!

A terrifying aura enveloped it, the intertwined major attributes surged like a tidal wave, almost solidifying into form.

Kill kill kill kill!!

For my solitude, to experience the loneliness of overlooking all beings from the throne amidst the clouds, that's the perfect time to enjoy loneliness.

Each claw directly triggered an explosion of energy within the cycle, each alternating breath from the heads shattered Xian's body to pieces, shooting out dense Yin Yang micro-particles and Five Elements energy.

In the distance, cries rose like a tidal wave.

"Come on!! Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, for survival!"

"To save our civilization! To save the entire world!"

"You can do it! You must win."

"Your nine heads each represent a Celestial Grade Immortal Path Divine Technique!"

The masses shouted.

On the Nine-State, one powerhouse after another couldn't help but shout:

"Indeed worthy of Nine-State's Rebel Army, the book techniques of the Firewood Saint Emperor, have smashed the first form, the absolute power of the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor crushed, Xian's second form is also weakening!"

"Victory is possible!"

"Indeed worthy of the strongest overlords of Nine-State! Each form is being shattered!"

Boom boom boom!

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor listened to the shouts and couldn't help but sneer.

Protect the world? Save the lives of the Sea Race?

When could such laughable Holy Mother terms be applied to him?

He is the absolute overlord bringing destruction from the East Sea, the monster feared by all living beings, walking the path of city-ruin and kingdom-destruction, a Forbidden Demon Dragon stained with endless blood, and these guys want him to protect the world?

"Very well, protect the world then."

A trace of ancient desolation flashed through his eyes, "Indeed, I should act as the superhero saving the world, protecting the world."

Boom!

The multicolored light once again rose from the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, he squeezed out all his potential and strength, letting out an angry roar:

"Indeed!! How can I let you destroy the world, bringing about the chaotic ancient period of evolution!"

"Protect the world? Then I... indeed must protect My World, protect my Nine-State and Four Seas!!!"

"You brat, dared attack my future private property!!"

He wagered everything in a frenzy, colliding and exploding violently, "Unforgivable!!!"

"That is a realm only I can destroy!" Boom! Leaping fiercely, the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor's nine heads seemingly transformed into fists, nine fists slammed fiercely onto Xian's forehead.

"That is a tsunami only I can initiate!" Bang! Flashed behind, at the moment when the dragon's head fist descended, the overpowering force erupted nonchalantly from the dragon's mouth.

Boom boom boom!

The body continued to weaken.

In Ning Zheng's brain, he kept murmuring.

Just like this, just like this... thoroughly enraging them.

Such intense Xin Xichen, such an intense Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, every attack linking flawlessly...

Just like this, attacking a body, weakening, continue to weaken...

Outside, it was like a giant Divine Craftsman, hammering the body through countless temperings.

Inside, Ning Zheng continued to expand his mind, countless Three Flowers of brain threads intermingling, Lower Grade Spiritual Roots and Lower Grade Spiritual Roots fusing, forming Lower Grade Immortal Spirit Root, Middle Grade with Middle Grade fusing, Upper Grade with Upper Grade fusing...

Entwining together, a vast power erupted forth.

Evolution.

Evolution.

The next moment.

Xian before them completely transformed into a tall sub-human creature, with an exceptionally perfect physique, exuding an enthralling sinister charm, just a glance made one's mouth dry, feeling as if they would be enveloped in his embrace at any moment.

"Immortal Spirit Root, like me?" Ning Zheng fiercely grasped one of the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor's dragon heads.

"You——!!" The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor's pupils widened, "What a joke, you primitive being, how did you also start possessing an Immortal Spirit Root?"

Ning Zheng's brain had already formed a basic cycle, glanced at him and said lightly: "My brain has always been filled with those things, this is not surprising."

"Well then, this farce ends here."

Ning Zheng's brain suddenly exploded with countless threads, enveloping the whole body like a cocoon, self-sealing,

"Books, I've already collected enough, enough to read for a while."

Whirr.

Ning Zheng self-sealed, because indeed, the opponent's attacks were indeed impressive, their human coalition had indeed defeated Xian.

"This guy?"

"Causing such a commotion, just for reading books?"

The people in the distance suddenly realized, their pupils shrinking.

So, had this guy always truly sought to self-destruct, and just to collect those detective books, he crossed the Sea Domain, plundering everywhere?

Their minds were filled with disbelief, a blank slate, feeling like clowns performing a ridiculous farce.

——So, what exactly did we, the heroes of Nine-State and Four Seas, protect?

"Speed up the sealing!"

"Yes, he cocooned himself, we must seal him!"

"Hahaha, we won, won against him... indeed, he cooperated with us to kill him." Some people cried and laughed, unable to fathom the reality.

On the other side.

"No solution, none!" Xin Xichen opened his eyes, scratching his messy hair, thinking hard, no longer composed, like those provincial students burning the midnight oil for three days and nights to solve problems.

He looked outside at the world, completely dumbfounded.

"The solution to defeating him..." Looking at those detective books,

"Turns out I was overthinking, the solution, the answer... it's always been there in the question itself?"
