Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 985: There are still many good people.

...

"Golden Dragon King, what's going on?"

The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm narrowed his eyes, staring behind Chen Huaian.

Through the cosmic dust, he clearly saw a great battle raging before the Boundary Wall of the Canglan Realm.

"As you can see," Chen Huaian put on a fawning smile, "the Canglan World is being invaded by other worlds. I was originally fighting, but when I sensed your arrival, I came over immediately."

From the moment the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm addressed him as the Golden Dragon King,

Chen Huaian knew it was settled.

The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm hadn't recognized his true identity.

"The Canglan World is being invaded?!" The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm frowned, "Is Li Qingran alright?"

"Of course she is," Chen Huaian said, "Her strength has skyrocketed recently, and she's just one step away from becoming a deity of the Canglan Realm. However..."

He glanced at the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm and tentatively asked, "I don't understand. She's just a mere mortal, so why are you and that... so concerned about her safety and strength?"

He asked the question,

but Chen Huaian didn't really expect to extract any useful information from the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm.

Sure enough, the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm's expression turned cold, "What's it to you? Don't meddle in things you shouldn't! Knowing too much will only get you killed faster!"

"You're absolutely right," Chen Huaian hurriedly nodded and bowed, "I spoke out of turn."

"Hmph!"

Although displeased with Chen Huaian's prying questions, the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm didn't impose any punishment.

After all, he still needed the Golden Dragon King's help to deal with the invasion of the Canglan Realm.

Moreover, since Li Qingran was already on the verge of godhood, it meant the Golden Dragon King hadn't been slacking off during this time.

As a Heavenly Dao, he cared most about fairness and equivalent exchange.

Since the Golden Dragon King was doing his job dutifully, he naturally wouldn't punish him.

He scrutinized the Golden Dragon King up and down, only feeling that the Golden Dragon King had become much stronger than before.

But even so, dealing with the attacks of three civilizations would probably still be somewhat difficult.

"Now that the Canglan World is being besieged by three other worlds, can you still hold out?"

Hearing this question from the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm, Chen Huaian immediately put on an indignant expression, "To be honest with you, these three civilizations are just taking advantage of the situation! If it were just one civilization invading, I, along with the Silver Dragon King, could probably hold them off. But three civilizations? That's truly a bit overwhelming!"

Seeing the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm remain silent, he continued,

"If the Silver Dragon King and I fight these three worlds with all our might, we might not have much energy left to pay attention to Li Qingran's safety. I hope you can understand this point."

The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm looked at the chaotic battlefield.

With White Sword's world fusion imminent, he couldn't easily interfere in the conflicts of the Canglan World, yet he still needed to ensure Li Qingran could safely return to the Canglan Realm.

In that case...

A pained expression flashed across his face, then he spread open his palm, coalescing a fist-sized ball of light in his hand.

The moment this light appeared, the surrounding universe seemed to be drawn to it, beginning to rotate with this ball of light at its center.

Chen Huaian's eyes went wide when he saw this light.

This was origin essence!

A wisp of the Canglan World's origin essence!

Although both were world origin essences, the Canglan World, as a Great Thousand World, was far more precious than the origin essence of the Canglan, a mere Small Thousand World!

Even just looking at it, without touching it with his hand, he could feel the vast, sea-like Dao Rhythms within.

At the Quasi-Saint realm, most heavenly treasures and earthly wonders of the world held no meaning for him anymore.

The only things that could still enhance his strength were rare treasures beyond mortal imagination, like Heavenly Dao origin essence.

"Take this. Use the power of the Canglan World's Laws to detonate it. It should easily crush those three civilizations."

The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm gave a gentle push, and this wisp of origin essence drifted over to land on Chen Huaian's dragon claw.

Chen Huaian stared at the origin essence in his hand, swallowing hard. Suppressing the urge to swallow it whole in one gulp, he put on a clueless expression, "May I ask, Your Lordship, what exactly is this?

I can feel the terrifying energy within...

If used improperly, won't it blow up both me and the Silver Dragon King?"

The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm's mouth twitched, looking at Chen Huaian as if he were a country bumpkin, "This is a wisp of This Venerable One's origin essence.

This Venerable One has already placed a mark on this origin power that prevents it from harming the living beings of the Canglan World and the Canglan Realm.

No matter how violent the energy within, when detonated, it will be honey for us and poison for them.

It will only bring benefits, not harm, to your Canglan World!"

Chen Huaian nodded obediently.

But inwardly, he was overjoyed.

There was such a good thing?

Then wouldn't absorbing this origin essence later be a piece of cake?

Indeed, in this cold world, there were still plenty of warm-hearted good people~

"Alright, go deal with those three civilizations. This Venerable One has matters to attend to and will take his leave now."

The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm had come mainly to see if the disturbance in the Canglan World would affect Li Qingran.

Since there was no effect that would interfere with White Sword's plan,

whether the Canglan World would be destroyed or not was none of his concern.

Now that he had seen what he needed to see, it was natural to return the way he came.

As the Heavenly Dao of a Great Thousand World coming to the universe of this Small Thousand World, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had entered a slum.

He didn't want to stay a second longer.

"I bid you farewell, Your Lordship!" Chen Huaian lowered his head and bowed respectfully.

Only after watching the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm step into the Sea of Chaos and the torn rift slowly close did a cold smile curl at the corner of his mouth.

Absorbing the divine power of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings hadn't been enough to break through to Sage. He always felt something was missing.

Now, with the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm delivering a portion of origin essence, it was truly timely aid.

He stored the origin power away, already unable to contain his desire to absorb it.

But looking back at the chaotic battlefield, a bit of worry surfaced in his heart.

While absorbing the divine power of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, he could still spare some attention to monitor the battle at the Canglan World's Boundary Wall. But if he absorbed this origin essence from the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm, he might not have that much energy to focus on the external melee.

Li Qingran's safety was always the top priority.

After a brief hesitation,

Chen Huaian gritted his teeth and made a crazy decision.

His dragon body turned and he flew straight toward the center of the battlefield.

The intelligent mechanical race, the Abyssal Demons, and the Star Devourers who were engaged in combat were all momentarily stunned to see the Golden Dragon King flying back, their nerves tightening.

The originally intense crossfire also paused for an instant under the shadow of the dragon wings that blotted out the sky.

The firmament was like ink.

The stars fell silent.

Chen Huaian looked down upon the battlefield below, met Li Qingran's gaze, and then transformed into human form.

He sat cross-legged in the void, the Sword Intent around his body withdrawn to its absolute limit, as if his entire being had transformed into a sheathed sword.

"This... this Golden Dragon King has turned back into Lord Chen Huaian?" Poseidon was utterly bewildered.

He found that he actually couldn't tell whether the Golden Dragon King just now was real or fake.

So... were the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King still alive or not?

If they weren't in the middle of a bloody battle right now, he would definitely have to find Chen Huaian and ask him properly.

"Perhaps... this is the gap between us and Lord Chen Huaian..." Hades looked up at the cross-legged figure.

He didn't know what Chen Huaian was planning.

But he faintly sensed that something major was about to happen.

The other three civilizations also watched this scene warily, unable to figure out what this human transformed from a golden dragon intended to do.

However, a vague feeling of suffocation arose in their hearts, as if a heavy stone were pressing on their chests, making them dare not act recklessly at this moment.

The Abyssal Lord had never experienced such heart-palpitating fear before and unconsciously retreated to the side of the Abyss Gate.

The Star Devourers scattered, hiding in the darkness of the universe, emitting uneasy howls.

The electronic equipment on the fleets of the intelligent mechanical race malfunctioned one after another. To troubleshoot the faults, these mechanical beings were in a flurry of activity but couldn't find the cause for a long time.

The chaos ceased at this moment, as if waiting to witness something.

At the center of the cosmos,

the origin essence given by the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm seemed to be summoned by something, slowly rising before Chen Huaian.

Without hesitation, he reached his hand into that ball of light.

BOOM—

Heaven and earth lost their sound at this moment.

The Heavenly Dao origin essence poured into Chen Huaian's Meridians like a tidal wave, scouring his Dao body and Divine Soul.

CRACK—!

The seemingly indestructible barrier between Quasi-Saint and Sage,

at this moment, developed its first fissure.
