Chapter 296: White Orchid Rain Festival (Seventy-nine)
When Yizhihua rushed towards the sea of fire recklessly, Nanhuan had already suffered the backlash. Later, she wasted some of her strength because of awakening the Dragon God in the beginning. She was already at the end of her strength, not to mention that now she had to carry two dragons alone.
Lingyue noticed that the eldest lady's complexion was obviously getting worse. The blood words on the dragon scale paper were shining with golden light. The blood color seemed to have completed some kind of transformation and became the life nourishment for the two dragons.
Lingyue and Shijiu had been trying to give the young lady potions to maintain her life, but the effect was minimal, especially when the second wooden dragon transformed, the two could hardly get close to the young lady.
The attacks of the evil god behind them were getting stronger and stronger. Several players had been bound by the black air emitted by the evil god and were struggling little by little. However, even so, they still did not give up fighting with the evil god, allowing her to attack the eldest lady and affect the arrival of the Dragon God.
But after the evil god gained a physical body, it was obviously more powerful. Even with so many of them, they could only delay it for a moment. Soon, the players including President Barbie were entangled by different black air. While they were struggling, the evil god had already arrived in front of the last barrier of Nineteen and Lingyue.
It was the first time that Lingyue saw the evil god's face so clearly. She had to say that face was almost exactly the same as the eldest lady's except for the eyes. However, the bloodthirsty expression on the other's face was something that could never appear on the eldest lady's face.
The evil god didn't take the remaining two people seriously at first, but when she saw Lingyue, she paused for a moment, then a sneer appeared on her face, looking in Lingyue's direction, "Sure enough, after so long, there are still a group of fools who will follow her, just like the beginning, but I'm afraid she won't be so lucky this time."
These words seemed to have a specific meaning. Lingyue had no idea what it was, but she instinctively felt very dissatisfied with her for belittling the young lady. "That's better than a fake like you. Look behind you. There's no one. Even if you die, no one will mourn for you. No one in this world will even remember you. But she is different. We will fight for her until the last moment."
Ever since she first saw the Eldest Lady in the prophecy and understood the bond between her and her, she had been prepared to face this day. Even though the Eldest Lady did not formally make herself a believer out of respect for her wishes, in Lingyue's heart, she had already begun to believe in the Eldest Lady. She respected all of her choices, firmly supported all of Daxiaoji's choices, and was even prepared to make sacrifices.
Therefore, when this moment happened before her eyes, her emotions did not fluctuate too much, and she just finished speaking very calmly.
The evil god's expression paused for a moment, but only for a moment, and soon returned to its original expression, as if she had heard these words before and was too lazy to argue with the other party.
She just waved her hand impatiently, and the black air emerged from behind her, locking onto Lingyue and Nineteen at lightning speed.
Behind them, one was the president who was still in a coma, and the other was the eldest daughter who was at a critical juncture and in increasingly worse condition. Therefore, both of them had no way to retreat, and did not take any evasive measures. Instead, they gritted their teeth and stood in front.
Ever since the evil god gained a physical body, Nineteen had keenly noticed that the black gas on the other party was different from before it had a physical body. Rather than being called black gas, it was more like a black viscous liquid.
They seemed to come from the body of the evil god, and when they came into contact with any object, they could wrap the object in it and melt or assimilate it in a very short time. Because Nineteen watched with his own eyes that not long ago, the players on the Gambler's Guild's side were wrapped in these thick black liquids, and then fell into darkness and became part of the liquid.
Even the players from a nearby guild alliance were not immediately absorbed by the black sticky liquid because of their props and personal skills, but almost all of them had been stained by it. These black liquids were like dog-skin plasters. Once stained, it was difficult to get rid of them and impossible to break free. It was like a dark swamp that swallowed everything.
If Nineteen's combat power could hold out for a while, then Lingyue, a player who was not good at offensive skills, would have no room to fight back. After a head-on fight of only a few seconds, the black swamp surged over from all directions and wrapped around Lingyue's wrist without any explanation.
The eldest lady, who had not reacted the whole time, didn't know whether she sensed something or the burden of two dragons was really too great, but she vomited blood without any warning, her face became paler than before, and even her already trembling body fell to one side, as if she could no longer support herself.
Nineteen saw it all, but was unable to do anything. She could only use her last bit of strength to stop the evil god from getting closer. However, the black swamp behind the evil god was overwhelming. As she approached step by step, the main courtyard was falling bit by bit. She watched President Barbie, President Alice, President Workers, and President Red being swallowed up little by little, and those players whose names she could call out were all swallowed up by the swamp while struggling.
Soon half of Lingyue's body disappeared, and then half of her own body was also swallowed up as the evil god approached. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at the only piece of pure land behind her.
The eldest lady sat there crookedly, with the president lying not far from her side, and the two dragons on the altar were still recovering. The wooden sculpture on the left had completely faded, and its body had grown to the size of a dragon or snake, but half of its tail had not yet fully transformed. The dragon god on the right, its body color had slowly returned to red, but it had not yet completely changed back.
For the first time, she felt unwilling to give in. If she could hold on a little longer, maybe she could change everything. Could it be that they were really going to die here? She didn't even have time to wait for her president to wake up and apologize to her. She had failed her trust and it seemed that she had lost everything in the end.
What would happen to the players who were still waiting for them in the rest area? The presidents and vice presidents of the top ten guilds were all here, so there might be chaos.
Nineteen had thought before that if she stayed in this unpredictable game world until the last moment of her life, she didn't know what she would remember. But until she fell into the swamp, she realized that if things continued in this trend, the destruction brought by the evil god would only be the beginning.
Her eyes were soon covered by thick black liquid, her facial features were obscured, and her limbs were stuck in the swamp, unable to struggle free. In the last moment of light, she saw the evil god, with endless darkness, had arrived at the side of the eldest lady.
Ever since Nan Huan felt the aura that was very similar to that of the Dragon God, yet obviously different, she seemed to have entered into a state of meditation again. She just prayed with all her heart that the Dragon God would come again, and seemed to have lost all sense of anything in the outside world.
It was unknown how long this feeling lasted. Nan Huan gradually began to feel powerless and the noise all around her. At a certain moment, she felt her heart sink suddenly, as if the situation she had been worried about had finally occurred and the danger was already behind her.
Although she couldn't see, she could still feel the familiar breath of the evil god. She knew that the evil god already had a physical body before her, but the system did not declare the end of the game at this time, which meant that they still had a chance. However, Nan Huan found that she was already very weak, but she knew that she could not give up, so she could only hold her breath.
She couldn't be distracted by the players behind her, wondering what was going on and whether the evil god had done anything to them. After all, if she could finish all this as soon as possible, maybe there would be a way to remedy the situation.
The vomited blood was quickly absorbed by the dragon scale paper. Nan Huan felt that her mind was strangely clear, but it was the bad side of being close to death and overdrawn. She seemed to be able to feel the evil god approaching her, and the land behind her was like a scorched earth, slowly withering as the other party approached.
Nan Huan felt as if there was a dark cloud above her head. In the next second, when the dark cloud was about to completely cover her head, she seemed to hear a prompt from the system.
【bite--
It is detected that the unlocking conditions of the God of Time Hull have been met. Do you want to summon him?
The Lady's Envoy*1

Nan Huan didn't know if it was an illusion or she really heard the system's prompt sound. She could not see anything happening around her at all. However, she was still able to notice in this state of meditation that the lock status on the upper right corner of the two numbers [100] [60/100] on Bei Xi's forehead was finally released. The system's voice also sounded a little frightened, as if it did not expect it to be delayed until this time, and was still a little frightened by the current scene.
Nanhuan couldn't get through that much, so even in a state of meditation, he still chose to use this skill.
The system didn't even need her to answer. As long as she thought about it, the hidden red vine on her arm would gradually appear due to the use of skills.
The fourth petal composed of water flows that wrapped around Time Hul from top to bottom, after being fully revealed, flew out from the arm in just a few seconds due to Nan Huan's call.
In this brief moment, Nan Huan suddenly felt that the dark cloud immediately stopped above his head, with no tendency to move downwards. Even the scorched earth behind him seemed to have stopped for some reason.
In a place that Nan Huan could not see, Bei Xi, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally woke up. However, the color of her eyes was different from Bei Xi's. Moreover, the moment she woke up, she pinched out an hourglass from the void and threw it into the air.
The evil god did not seem to have expected that Nan Huan could summon something at this time. When she saw clearly what was in the air, her face completely sank, but it was too late, because the golden light of the Infinite Hourglass had already hit her head. The entire courtyard was shrouded in the Infinite Hourglass. In an instant, except for the movement of Nan Huan and the two dragons, even the wind seemed to have stopped.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. The originally wriggling black swamps suddenly became motionless like a pool of stagnant water.
If there are still players who have not been swallowed by the swamp, they will definitely cheer for the awakening of the president. But then they will find that although it is clearly the president's face, the other party's gestures and golden eyes are very different from those of the president in his normal state.
Moreover, the fact that everything, including the evil god, had temporarily stopped did not give Time Hel a moment to relax. She hurried back to check on Nanhuan's situation and found that if she had woken up a little later, this place would not be as simple as a scorched earth. She glanced at the two dragons on the altar with some displeasure, and there was a rare hint of annoyance in her eyes. However, under the current circumstances, she could not forcibly interrupt Nanhuan's sacrifice.
She made a cutting gesture with one hand and gently scratched the palm of her other hand. A cut appeared on her hand, but there was no bleeding. Instead, some golden light came out. She pressed the golden light into Nan Huan's body. Only after the golden light completely disappeared into Nan Huan's body did Nan Huan finally slowly open his eyes. At the same time, the light of the dragon scale paper became stronger and stronger, and the two dragons on the altar finally returned to normal.
They hovered in the air for a while, and the next second they all turned into human forms and crowded around Nan Huan.
Nan Huan had just recovered from his weakness and hadn't figured out what had happened when he opened his eyes and saw three identical faces looking at him with concern. Although the three of them looked exactly like Bei Xi, everyone's eyes were different. Time Hel's eyes were the color of fine sand, almost platinum, and the eyes of the remaining two dragons were red, but the red seemed a little different. The Dragon God's eyes were bright red, but the eyes of the wooden dragon god were dark red.
“Ahem…” Nan Huan just opened his mouth and choked himself, “Does this count as the arrival of the Dragon God?”
At this time, Heer held Nan Huan in his arms and patted her back gently, saying with some fear, "You are still worried about these things. If you call me out later, I will have to collect your body."
She didn't mean to exaggerate. She looked at the two dragons with some dissatisfaction. "It's all your fault. You made her like this. You almost killed her. If it wasn't for you, would she be like this? You are so stupid..."
Although the Dragon Lord and the wood sculpture were both very dissatisfied with this statement, neither of them refuted it. After all, Shi Heer was not wrong to some extent. If it weren't for them, Nanhuan would not have suffered this.
"By the way, is Beixi okay? She was in a coma before you came out."
Nan Huan didn't know whether he heard Shi Jianhe'er's accusation or not. He seemed to have just woken up and confirmed that the sacrifice had been completed and the Dragon God had descended. He suddenly thought of Bei Xi and asked Shi Jianhe'er.
She was very worried when Bei Xi was unconscious before, but no one asked about it at that time. Now that she has finally summoned him out, she naturally wants to confirm this matter as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that after she said this, the originally tense situation suddenly relaxed a lot because of some kind of temporary alliance that had to be formed. The wooden sculpture signaled to Shiji Hull with his eyes, "Why are you confronting us here? Do you see that our opponent is here?"
Although He Er was reluctant to talk to Nan Huan about Bei Xi, seeing the other party's worried expression, he explained, "She's fine. After I leave, she will be sober as before."
Nan Huan looked at her and keenly noticed that Heer seemed unwilling to say too much about Bei Xi's sudden coma in the dungeon, but she obviously knew the inside story, which made Nan Huan very concerned. "You can't tell me this. You have to hide it from me because it will be bad for Bei Xi's health, or it will be bad for you, right?"
Nan Huan knew that now was not the time to talk about this. After all, she had already seen the evil god who looked exactly like her, lying still not far in front of her, and the player who was nowhere to be found, and even the dragon scale paper that was still glowing next to her. There were still many things she had to solve and face, but she always felt that Bei Xi's fainting this time was not a problem with the system, nor was it a problem with the other party's body. It seemed that there was something in the dark. She was very uneasy about it and even used some strength to hold Time Hur's hand.
The two dragons were both at a loss. It was obvious that they had just woken up and many things had not caught up with their minds. However, Shi Heer's expression was only stagnant for a second, and then he explained to Nan Huan in his original tone, "I don't remember the details completely. I can only confirm temporarily that Bei Xi's coma also affected us. The specific reason is still unknown."
Nan Huan had no way of telling the truth from her words, and Time Heer did not give her time to react. "Now is not the time to talk about this. Stillness cannot last for too long. We still have to deal with the evil god. I only remember that she is very strong in her physical form. I'm afraid we are no match for her."
Nan Huan had to turn her attention back to this instance. She looked at the evil god in front of her and rubbed her face with both hands in frustration. "Why does she look exactly like me? Although I was mentally prepared, it's still hard to accept her physical appearance. How much do you remember?"
It was no wonder that Nan Huan was a little discouraged. She felt that due to information asymmetry, she knew very little about the evil god, but the other party was not like that. Almost from the beginning, he had been using Man Wugui to create trouble for her in the copy she entered. But thinking of what Time Hel said, she asked again, "Can't we use the time rewind function? Go back a few minutes to when she didn't have a physical body yet and solve the problem completely?"
After all, she had seen the time-reversal function of the Infinite Hourglass last time, but she didn't expect that Time Hull would directly break her idea.
