Chapter 3021: Chapter 3019: When in Doubt, Confront the Tycoon + Pain + Death
 

“The Dao heart that has been reinforced by three hundred years of green onion life is soulless!”

“Do you want to know the real reason why Boss Song’s Dao heart is so strong?”

“Let me open the gates to the world of the Dao heart for you!”

At this moment, Lady Onion’s mature and enticing voice echoed.

“No, I don’t need it. A soulless Dao heart is enough for me!” Loli Shi immediately refused.

To her, a Dao heart just needed to be strong enough to serve its purpose, so what did it matter if it lacked a soul?

But, just like before… her voice couldn’t be heard by Lady Onion.

After all, their experiences and Tyrannical Song’s true ‘dreamland skill’ were different.

Then, the mature and enticing voice of Lady Onion spoke again, “Soft Feather, dear, lend me your strength.”

“Soft Feather sister?” Shi was startled.

“Is Soft Feather sister going to help Lady Onion torment us too?” Zhu felt a pang of panic—Soft Feather’s personality was rare among fairies who could join in their play, making her an extremely dear playmate for Zhu.

If someone like Soft Feather sister were to assist Lady Onion, it would be terrifying.

The next moment, the darkened world flipped again and brightened up.

They were once again in possession of ‘Lady Onion’s’ body, but this time it was not the green onion itself, but Lady Onion with hands and long legs.

For some reason, even though the perspective should be first-person, both Shi and Zhu could ‘sense’ what Lady Onion looked like at the moment.

Her originally long green hair had been cut to a neat shoulder-length that made Lady Onion appear more mature, and she even had the air of a strong woman about her.

Her figure hadn’t changed much… because Lady Onion’s figure had always been quite Tyrannical.

But she seemed a bit taller?

And her attire had changed too, no longer the skirt of before but now a set of form-fitting trousers and high heels—truly the get-up of an elder sister figure.

“When did Lady Onion sister grow up to look like this?” Shi was surprised.

She had interacted with Lady Onion many times before.

And they had even played together.

Lady Onion’s character was such that she got along well with children.

However, this strong woman version of Lady Onion was completely unfamiliar to both Shi and Zhu.

“Here it comes!” the Lady Onion in the dream suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

It was the mature Lady Onion’s voice that Shi and Zhu heard.

In the next moment, an attack so terrifying that it defied description descended from the opposite vacuum.

When faced with such an attack, Shi and Zhu felt an indescribable terror welling up deep within them—an innate fear brought on by the overwhelming might of the attack, beyond their realm, suppressing them with dread.

There seemed to be several figures standing next to Lady Onion.

But since Lady Onion’s gaze wasn’t fixed on them, Shi and Zhu couldn’t see them clearly.

Boom~

The attack from the other side came crashing down like a flood.

It was darkness as tangible as solid substance, seeming like black light, yet also resembling some sort of virus-like thing.

Lady Onion stretched out her arms, and wings that resembled those of a phoenix spread from her back to shield herself and also to cover her companions beside her.

Then… Lady Onion perished.

She died a truly miserable death.

Just like a candle melting away.

First, her skin and flesh dissolved, followed by her bones and marrow…

In the blink of an eye, Lady Onion turned to ashes.

How tragic!

The dreamland skill active on Lady Onion, Shi and Zhu, was felt as though it were their own experience.

Such a deathly ordeal made their scalp tingle.

The kind of pain that shook the soul, along with the sense of powerlessness when facing the enemy’s attack, was like a red-hot branding iron, leaving a mark deep in their memories.

Unlike Song Shuhang, Shi and Zhu lacked the innate skill of ‘pain tolerance’.

The intense pain and the death experience knocked them out immediately.

Time passed, but they weren’t sure how long…

They opened their eyes.

Not dead yet?

“Pain… After resurrection, the pain still persists. Only Boss Song in the myriad practitioners in the universe could consider such pain as a part of his daily life,” the voice of the elder sister, Lady Onion, continued.

From the plot point of view, it seemed that Lady Onion and the others were resisting some powerful enemy?

Moreover, an enemy so powerful that they were unable to resist.

An enemy that could kill Lady Onion in one move.

Shi and Zhu clenched their teeth.

The memory of the pain they had faced before death still lingered in their minds.

The instant before they nearly died, every moment and every flash of the death process, and the endless darkness and despair after death, were deeply etched in their hearts.

Remembering the moment that had just passed, their souls were still trembling.

But in the end… they had made it through.

With the help of something like the ‘dreamland skill’ and the external interference from elder sister Lady Onion, they had pulled through.

It was the same principle as borrowing a CPU.

As long as they made it through, even if by relying on external support, the benefit to their mind and willpower was immense.

How did Tyrannical Song come to possess such a strong mind and willpower?

Especially in the later stages, when his realm was skyrocketing, why was his mind and willpower as stable as Mount Tai Seal?

Through pain, through death, by confronting powerful seniors!

He had tasted the pain that no one in the myriad practitioners in the universe could bear, and he had savored it.

Within one year, the number of times he died could rank in the top three in the myriad practitioners in the universe!

And that was quite a modest claim.

It was mainly because Cloud Gauze Three View Moon had a horrifying number of parts in the mountain of body parts, making it difficult to scrutinize her past highest number of deaths in a year…

Then there was confronting powerful seniors, opposing enemies that brought despair, which is also an extreme method to strengthen one’s inner self. Either under the pressure of a despairing enemy, one’s mind and willpower collapse, or one dares to directly face their strong enemies, enhancing the strength of their mind and willpower!

And Lady Onion left them an easter egg—confronting powerful seniors + pain + death, a one-stop service.

“Although I want to continue, unfortunately, if we keep going, you won’t be able to bear it. The foundation that three hundred years of living as a green onion provided is only enough for you to carefully go through this once.” The easter egg plot ended, and the voice of sister Lady Onion sounded.

The reason why an easter egg is called so, is because it’s just a brief few scenes, and not lengthy.

“My part is over, my dear friends, don’t forget to leave us a good review. Soft Feather dear, I’m leaving now,” Lady Onion continued.

“Mm,” the next moment, Soft Feather’s voice rang in Shi and Zhu’s ears.

Just as pleasant, but a voice that was different from sister Soft Feather today.

Shi had already vaguely guessed a possibility.

But she felt that this possibility was too shocking, theoretically impossible to achieve—the sister Lady Onion and sister Soft Feather in their ears didn’t seem to be from the time node they were in.

“Though it’s a pity… I cannot directly communicate with you, the fact that you, Shi and Zhu, are still safe and sound at this point in time proves that things are developing in a good direction,” Soft Feather’s voice slowly said.

Soft Feather had recognized their identity.

“Please tell Senior Song that our experiment here was a success. When consuming the ‘way to immortality,’ we can utilize the ‘small black room’ of the Will of the Heavens, a special space. In that forgotten world, where the source is erased. We can retain fragments of the way to immortality. Senior Song’s second way to immortality, by splitting and combining…” Soft Feather’s voice trailed off.

Shi and Zhu’s consciousness returned to the main world.
