Yin Ming's expression, which had been listening attentively, suddenly turned slightly surprised. What...what?

What's the name of the other transmigrator?

Long Cheng?!

Oh, what's wrong here?

How could there be another Long Cheng?

The coincidence of sharing the same name is too much!

Yin Ming frowned, then suddenly looked enlightened.

So, is this why Liu Ying recognized Long Cheng as her adopted son?

Haha, I have to say, this feels weird—

How could anyone adopt someone with the same name as their lover as their godson?

Isn't this taking advantage of the other person? Tsk, such a perverse sense of humor between young lovers, so embarrassing.

However... it seems that something happened to Long Cheng, which is why Liu Ying was left alone to wait anxiously.

Because Liu Ying missed him so much, after meeting Long Cheng, she was reminded of him by his name and was moved with compassion.

She felt that she had failed to protect the previous Long Cheng, so she bestowed all the protection she had failed to give to the former onto the current Long Cheng in order to make up for her regret.

In any case, Long Cheng really hit the jackpot; as expected, a silly dragon has a lucky streak.

Liu Ying gently placed her delicate hand on the sofa armrest, her eyes filled with longing. "When I was first born with intelligence and took human form, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was him."

"At that time, the moon was high in the sky, and fireflies were flying everywhere. Out of curiosity about all things in the world, I reached out and touched a few of the flying balls of light."

"'A light silk fan flutters as it chases fireflies,' the name 'firefly' was also given to me by him."

Oh wow, Yin Ming raised an eyebrow. Is this gossip he can listen to?

However, what Yin Ming wanted to know more about was what role Long Cheng played in the God and Demon Continent, and how Liu Ying discovered his identity as a transmigrator.

"His other identity is the Ancestral Dragon of the Divine Demon Continent. To avoid you being uncomfortable with the sound, I will refer to him as the Ancestral Dragon."

As soon as Liu Ying finished speaking, she completely stunned Yin Ming.

What the heck? The Ancestral Dragon? Isn't that a mythical beast from ancient times?!

Does this mean this guy transmigrated to the ancient era of the Gods and Demons Continent? That's tens of thousands of years ago!

Without a high level of cultivation, one is indeed doomed.

Tsk, it seems my idea of ​​meeting this fellow villager in person failed before it even began.

Yin Ming subconsciously rubbed his chin. Come to think of it, he originally thought this guy just happened to share the same name as Long Cheng, but now that he thought about it, it didn't seem to be that simple.

The real situation seems to be that after this guy transmigrated into the book, he found out that he was a dragon, and the dragon clan that appeared most often in the book was the Dragon Chancellor. So he naturally assumed that the identity token he received was that of the Dragon Chancellor.

Therefore, whenever anyone asked him, he would refer to himself as Long Cheng...

Actually, it's not that guy's fault. If he could choose his own identity card but couldn't be the protagonist, Yin Ming would most like to be Long Cheng.

After all, the Resentful Dragon in the original work was an incredibly cool existence.

Of course, the best scenario would be to travel directly to the time when Long Cheng has already completed his evolution, so that he wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Yin Ming thought about it more and more and felt that there was a high possibility that this guy was using a fake identity card. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked, "Did Zu Long ever say that he had another name?"

Liu Ying's gaze sharpened, and her charming face immediately darkened. "...So much time has passed that I've actually forgotten many things."

She sighed softly, "I thought I would remember what he said forever... but I overestimated myself and underestimated the passage of time."

Yin Ming blinked, somewhat at a loss. At this point, he should just listen, right? Making comments on his own seemed inappropriate no matter what he said, so he decided to remain silent.

“I used to love being by his side, traveling the world with him. But I would always suddenly hear him muttering some strange words.”

“I asked him what those things meant, but he always just smiled and didn’t say anything, saying that I was too young to understand.”

“I was born not long ago, and there were indeed many things I didn’t understand. He taught me many human habits.”

Liu Ying looked up and glanced around the room. "This building was also built at his behest. I thought it might make you feel more at home here."

Yin Ming nodded upon hearing this. It had been a long time since he had seen modern-style decor and furniture, and it did indeed feel like a different world.

The door to memory was unlocked, and the surging river of memories seemed to bring back more details for Liu Ying. "Right, he seemed to have said that he created this world. But he was drunk at the time, so I'm not sure if he was telling the truth."

Yin Ming had lost count of how many times he had felt this shocked and speechless today.

What the heck?!

That guy said he created this world? So... so he's the original author?!

Goodness.

Yin Ming was speechless.

So the reason this little thing suddenly stopped updating was because it transmigrated into a book?

Heh...hehe.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

You got your comeuppance for dragging out the ending and writing filler content all the time!

After venting his frustrations, Yin Ming finally felt a bit better, but then suddenly realized that something seemed off.

Yes, that's definitely not right.

If the original author deserved to be a transmigrator, then why was Yin Ming a transmigrator?! He didn't do anything wrong!

Liu Ying didn't notice Yin Ming's ever-changing expression. She gazed at the furniture in the room with longing, as if she could see all the little things that had happened in the past.

"In ancient times, the continent of gods and demons was united, so any slight conflict would cause the two races to fight fiercely. The Forbidden Forest was caught between the two and was inevitably affected."

"The First Emperor could not bear to see the suffering of the people, nor did he want his homeland, on which he depended for survival, to be destroyed by war. So he chose to transform himself into the sea, separating the gods and demons, allowing the Forbidden Forest to return to peace. The continent of gods and demons has thus enjoyed tens of thousands of years of tranquility."

Yin Ming's thin lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Transforming into the sea with his own body? I never expected the original author to die like this.

Hmm... So, the transmigrator is equal to the original author, equal to Zu Long, equal to Wang Du Hai?

The little rascal has quite a few identities.

I didn't expect the original author to be so responsible. He was willing to sacrifice himself so that the world he created could become better.

It's so touching; the self-sacrifice for the greater good is truly moving.

Wait a minute… Yin Ming suddenly remembered that in the original setting, the God and Demon Continent originally had the Wangdu Sea.

However, the original story begins with the birth of Lingyao.

So the original author traveled to ancient times to fill in these gaps in the story?

That's so tragic. He's definitely a tool character. He and Yin Ming are practically brothers in misfortune. One is responsible for filling in the gaps in the world's settings, and the other is responsible for making the male lead turn evil.

However, Yin Ming is somewhat luckier than him—at least Yin Ming is still alive.

But what Yin Ming didn't understand was, what did this have to do with today's duel?

Mentioning that old friend, even the usually aloof and distant Liuying became more talkative:

"Before the Ancestral Dragon transformed into the Wanderer and crossed the sea, he told me that if one day I encountered a black-clad, black-sworded person who could not die no matter what danger he encountered and whose cultivation was constantly rising, I must do everything in my power to nip him in the bud."

"So much time has passed that I have forgotten the names that Zu Long mentioned, but a few days ago Long Cheng said that you were sent to the land of the forsaken gods and asked me to rush to rescue you. That's when I suddenly realized that something was wrong."

“Aside from the mismatch in appearance, Lingyao is exactly the same as the clues left by the Ancestral Dragon.”

Yin Ming appeared to be listening quietly, but inwardly he was experiencing a bolt from the blue.

What?! What did he hear again?! The original author, on his deathbed, actually instructed Liu Ying to kill the male protagonist?!

What kind of incredible plot twist is this?

These days are so exciting!

So, Liu Ying deliberately didn't go to save them, her purpose being to see if Ling Yao could also turn the tide this time.

Yin Ming couldn't help but purse his lips. "No, sister, didn't you ever consider that if Ling Yao wasn't that person, wouldn't all of them have died needlessly in the jaws of the Kun?"

Won't you feel guilty then? Or do you think it's better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free?

This is too cruel. The big boss really does treat human life like ants!

As if sensing Yin Ming's inner thoughts, Liu Ying lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone:

"Don't worry, I had already arrived in the Divine Realm when you entered the Forsaken Land."

“I have also detected the location of the Forsaken Land and have covered it with my divine sense. If you are indeed injured by the Northern Sea Divine Kun, I will appear immediately.”

Oh, I see. Yin Ming misunderstood. Report it, report it.

“When I sensed that Lingyao’s cultivation had advanced to the high level of the ninth realm, I was certain that he was the person that Zulong had mentioned.”

"I was also a little hesitant at first, after all, the path of cultivation becomes more and more difficult to advance, and a cultivator who can cultivate to this level is undoubtedly worthy of respect."

“If he is not inherently bad and can bring benefits to the God and Demon Continent, then I really have no reason to kill him.”

"But I discovered a few days ago in the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion that Lingyao is indeed cruel and tyrannical. If he is allowed to continue like this, I am afraid that no one will be able to stand against him in the future, and the world will eventually fall into his doomsday rule."

"Presumably, the First Emperor already knew what he would do in the future, which is why he left a reminder for me to kill him."

"Therefore, in order to protect the continent of gods and demons that the Ancestral Dragon saved by sacrificing his life, my decisive battle with Lingyao today is imperative."

Liu Ying stared intently at Yin Ming, as if pouring out the emotions suppressed in her heart for thousands of years, and also as if expressing her determination.

Yin Ming frowned. That was true... but he felt something was off.

He really didn't know what reason the original author had to kill Lingyao.

This is a character he created himself. What happened that made him decide to abandon his own son?

Also, he originally thought the original author was Liu Ying's lover, but her description makes it sound like they have a subordinate and boss relationship.
