Chapter 213 The Appearance of the Candle Dragon

Soon, Ling Yunxiao dealt with all the strange monsters. He looked up at the sky, smiled coldly at the blood moon, and then, with a flick of his toes, he instantly appeared in mid-air, swinging his axe fiercely at the blood moon.

"Om..."

After a deafening roar, the blood moon shattered, and the entire Mount Olympus began to collapse.

Nix led Ling Yunxiao and Wang Ye to retreat quickly to the sea surface shrouded in mist. Ling Yunxiao stopped the two from returning and took out his Book of Life and Death.

"Defeat Poseidon, the sea god, and gain 250 million points of Reincarnation Power. Defeat 26 gods and gain 5200 million points of Reincarnation Power. Defeat 26 corrupted gods and gain 7800 million points of Reincarnation Power."

Using the bloodline of the Witch Clan consumes 10 points of Reincarnation Power.

Remaining Reincarnation Power: 211.4 million points.

Ling Yunxiao nodded with satisfaction as he looked at his current balance. Then, he took out his judge's pen and wrote a line of text:

"The Primordial Ancestral Witch Appears"

After finishing writing, Ling Yunxiao cupped his hands in a fist salute, bowed deeply to the void above, and then closed his eyes.

"Descendants of the Houtu tribe, the one who holds the Book of Humanity and soars to the heavens, respectfully invite the Ancestral Witch Zhulong!"

With a loud shout that resounded through the sky, a divine light shot up from the book and then a long, illusory river descended from the sky and hung upside down. The rolling river water surged from the eternal past toward the future, and on the illusory river of time, a figure exuding a mysterious and ancient aura sat cross-legged on the river, remaining unmoved as the water rolled forward beneath his feet.

It was a figure with a human head and a dragon's body, its entire body crimson, covered with various mysterious runes that shone brightly as the river flowed beneath its feet!

He sat there quietly, and the moment he appeared, everything in the world seemed to freeze, as if time itself had stopped.

As the illusory image of the long river solidified, the figure finally slowly opened its eyes. A pair of eyes, as vast as stars and as mysterious as time itself, glanced at everyone present before speaking leisurely.

"Boy, what business do you have with me now? This world can't sustain my true form for long."

“Ancestral Witch, please bear witness, I am also helpless. My captain, who is also your disciple Wang Mian, has disappeared. He has disappeared into the river of time. If you do not appear, I really have no other way.”

Ling Yunxiao lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhulong at all. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he felt guilty.

"Hmph...who dares to harm my disciple?"

Zhulong snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly. Above the three of them, day and night began to change constantly.

Soon, a strange door covered with mysterious patterns appeared beside Ling Yunxiao. The door slowly opened, and Wang Mian, dressed in casual clothes and looking bewildered, walked out.

"Yunxiao, Master!"

After taking in his surroundings, Wang Mian immediately called out Ling Yunxiao and Zhulong with delight.

"He was thrown into a time rift and sent to a parallel universe. It doesn't harm him, but if I were to stay here any longer, this universe would probably collapse. Then I wouldn't be able to help you find the murderer..."

Before Zhulong could finish speaking, he slowly turned into a phantom and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Captain, where did you go?"

Even after hearing that Wang Mian was alright, Ling Yunxiao still walked up to Wang Mian and looked him up and down.

"I... it's like I went to the world you came from. I became your college classmate there. Except, you're already a celebrity at your school?"

When Wang Mian said this, his eyes were filled with complex emotions. Ling Yunxiao blinked and suddenly understood.

Wang Mian went to the modern world he came from and became his college classmate. Because of his fame, he heard his own name. Then, he was able to travel through time. He must have gone back in time, seen himself, and confirmed that the person was him.

"I'm a celebrity? So what? What did I do?"

There's one last question, one that Ling Yunxiao can't understand: how did he become a celebrity?

"Hmm... You stayed up all night writing your thesis in your dorm, died suddenly, and were miraculously revived after three hours in the hospital. Then, you wrote a surgical medical thesis that shocked all the professors in the college. After being accepted as a doctoral student by a famous professor, you jumped off the building in your doctoral supervisor's office building."

Uh… even as he jumped, he was shouting, "I've been a surgeon my whole life, and I'm going to die from exhaustion on the operating table!" Waking up to find myself back in my PhD days? Having to repeat a few years and then continue being a beast of burden? Is this something a human being can do? Is this the life a human being can live?

Ling Yunxiao blinked. It seemed that when he first became Lin Qiye's neighbor, he had the same thought. Back then, he hadn't imagined that after more than ten years of a miserable life, he would be completely disillusioned, while Lin Qiye, now a chief surgeon, would be back in his university days as a medical student. How incredible would that be?

"Then, you became a celebrity in the college. The entire college experienced a significant reduction in graduation and employment pressure because of you, and it also attracted widespread social attention..."

"And then what? Does that mean it's easier for medical students to find jobs?"

Ling Yunxiao asked the question as if possessed, and Wang Mian shook his head with an even more complicated expression.

"No, many people believe that medical students have poor psychological resilience, so the internship period cannot be too short. Furthermore, before becoming a specialist, they need to learn more theory and medical skills to facilitate broader employment..."

"Damn it... was it buried well? If this gets out, people will dig up the grave!"

Ling Yunxiao sighed, suddenly feeling an intense toothache. He looked at Wang Mian with hopeful eyes, hoping that Wang Mian's arrival could change that person's fate. Wang Mian rubbed the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly before slowly speaking.

"I traveled through time to try and stop you from committing suicide. He asked me if I could go back to Cangnan. I said yes, but he had to accept that the world had supernatural elements and a curse. He told me to get lost and accept it.

In my past world, I didn't have any money, so I couldn't change his fate...

"..."

For a moment, Ling Yunxiao didn't know what to say. It was indeed hard for a normal person to accept. Returning to a world full of strange occurrences or staying to be a beast of burden... it was better to end it all by jumping. That person hadn't done anything wrong. After he completely ended things in this world, he could simply go back and rescue that person, giving him some money.

"Speaking of which, you two have been chatting for so long, can't you look at us? Neither this Goddess of the Night nor I are luminous! Can't you see us?"

Seeing that the two had finally fallen silent, Wang Ye couldn't help but speak up to remind them.
