Chapter 22 The Love-Brained God 22: Slaying the Gods
Just as Jinxia stepped onto the Conferred God Platform, countless dark clouds suddenly gathered in the previously cloudless sky.
In just a few breaths, dark clouds filled the entire sky, and the sky darkened instantly. Countless purple lightning bolts surged through the clouds.
Where had the people of the Flower Realm ever seen such a scene? The flower fairies were terrified and huddled together, trembling with fear.
"My God, what's going on? Why are there so many dark clouds?"
"Those lightning bolts looked really scary. I hope it won't thunder later."
"This is terrible! Isn't this the enthronement ceremony of the new Flower Goddess? How could the weather suddenly change like this?"
"Could it be that Heaven is displeased with the new Flower Goddess's ascension to the throne?"
...
The flower fairies' discussions grew louder and louder, shattering the previously harmonious scene, and more and more voices of doubt and dissatisfaction emerged.
When Jinxia saw this, her face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
This is... a heavenly tribulation, and it's the heavenly tribulation that immortals must endure to ascend to godhood.
Jinxia had lived in the Heavenly Palace for so long, so she had seen a bit of the world.
She was naturally familiar with the Heavenly Tribulation, but in this Flower Realm, who was so powerful that they had to undergo a Divine Tribulation?
Moreover, she chose to undergo tribulation when she ascended to the throne as the Flower Goddess.
Who in the Flower Realm is so dissatisfied with her?
She had never experienced anything like this before, and Jinxia panicked in the face of those pointing fingers at her.
"Master Fang..."
She looked pleadingly at the flower fairies on the high platform, hoping they would step forward to quell the flower fairies' anger.
Da Fangzhu's gaze fell on Jinxia's expression, and seeing her flustered look, she sighed inwardly.
However, this cannot be blamed on Jinxia. She had been living away from home since childhood and had always been a little fairy in the Heavenly Palace. No one had ever taught her how to be a person in a superior position.
Although she has been back for three hundred years, that three hundred years is not enough time for her to become an excellent leader.
If the situation in the Flower Realm hadn't been so dire that the Flower Goddess was urgently needed to oversee things, they wouldn't have rushed Jinxia into becoming the Flower Goddess.
Faced with the unexpected situation, Jinxia was helpless, and Dafangzhu could not allow the situation to worsen.
"Please calm down, everyone. This is just a minor accident and has nothing to do with Jinxia. I will use my magic to dispel the dark clouds."
She didn't recognize it as a divine tribulation, thinking it was just a normal weather change, and tried to use magic to change the weather back to normal.
Qi Wang in the crowd: "..."
Compared to those two flower fairies, these flower masters don't seem to be much better.
Lightning flashed in the dark clouds overhead, and anyone with normal senses could feel that something was wrong. But Fangzhu simply said that she could dispel the thunderclouds with a spell.
Ignorance is bliss. How exactly did the Flower Realm survive for ten thousand years under the leadership of these people?
On the Conferred God Platform, Da Fangzhu stood out confidently and raised her hand to begin casting a spell.
After a series of flashy spellcasting gestures, she raised her hand and pointed, sending a dazzling beam of light flying into the sky.
However, the light of the spell disappeared into the dark clouds, but it did not dispel the clouds as the Great Fang Master had expected.
She frowned and instructed the other flower fairies to join her in casting the spell.
The twelve Fangzhu (twelve fragrant maidens) lined up in formation, and the group unleashed a combination of techniques, sending even more spells into the dark clouds.
However, instead of dissipating, the dark clouds churned even more violently.
Twelve Fang Master: "..."
Countless flower fairies: "..."
Jinxia, who thought the flower masters would display their divine power: "..."
She looked at the twelve flower masters and spoke cautiously.
"My lords, that is the tribulation of heavenly lightning for ascending to godhood..." You didn't recognize it, did you?
Jinxia didn't say this aloud, still saving face for the other ladies.
She originally thought that the confident look on the ladies' faces meant they had a way to resolve the heavenly tribulation, but it turned out that they didn't recognize the tribulation clouds above their heads.
Da Fangzhu suddenly turned to look at Jinxia: "What did you say? This is a heavenly tribulation? Are you sure?"
Jinxia nodded: "Yes, I'm sure, this is the Heavenly Tribulation. I saw it when I was in the Heavenly Palace... Fellow beauties, do you really have a way to dispel the tribulation clouds?"
All the ladies: "..."
That's a heavenly tribulation; how could they possibly have that ability?
The flower fairies were not good at fighting, and the little flower fairies had even weaker magical power. They were already shrouded in tribulation clouds. If heavenly lightning were to strike, every single one of these flower fairies would die under the tribulation clouds.
It was supposed to be the Flower Goddess's enthronement ceremony, but for some reason, this unexpected turn of events has occurred. Now the ceremony can't continue, so it's best for the Flower Fairies to seek refuge first.
Why didn't you say so sooner!
The Great Flower Master's expression changed. Just as she was about to send the Flower Fairies back to take refuge, the tribulation clouds gathering overhead suddenly dispersed.
The owners looked at the dispersing dark clouds with surprise and uncertainty, their expressions varying.
Did their magic work?
The initially panicked flower fairies gradually calmed down. The dark clouds that had just appeared were probably just a normal weather change, and the flower fairies used their magic to disperse them.
This was just a minor incident; after the initial panic, everyone gradually returned to normal.
Although the owners were unsure of what was going on, they quickly calmed down and methodically arranged the next steps.
She hadn't expected that these Flower Masters were so powerful, even able to break through the Heavenly Tribulation of ascending to godhood.
Isn't the Flower Realm supposed to be a race that's not good at fighting? When did they become so powerful?
Jinxia was initially quite resistant to becoming the Flower Goddess, but after seeing the strength of the Flower Masters, she began to waver.
Perhaps becoming the Flower Goddess isn't such a bad thing. If she had been the Flower Goddess back then, then with Cang Yu...
Thinking of this, Jinxia's eyes dimmed, but she was about to put on the crown symbolizing the goddess of flowers, so she shouldn't let her mind wander at this time.
The recent events have affected the owners to some extent, and they are praying that things will go smoothly from now on and that there will be no further trouble.
However, what you fear most is what happens. Just as Jinxia was about to put on the crown of the Flower Goddess, a huge black dragon suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Hahahaha, it's an honor for you flower fairies to withstand my heavenly tribulation. Your deaths have been worthwhile..."
This black dragon is none other than Ye Chao, the second prince of the Heavenly Realm.
Qi Wang's backup plan, which he had left inside his body, came into play. In his eyes, the Heavenly Tribulation had already been largely consumed by these flower fairies, and he only needed to come out and undergo the Heavenly Tribulation tempering.
At this moment, in Ye Chao's eyes, the tribulation clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, and the flower fairies on the ground had been reduced to ashes. The entire flower realm had become a dead zone.
He recklessly absorbed the spiritual energy of the Flower Realm, preparing to face the final heavenly lightning tempering.
The flower fairies were all stunned and looked up in disbelief.
The flower fairies, who had never left the flower realm, were shallow in their knowledge; they had only heard of the dragon's name but had never seen one in person.
However, upon seeing the black dragon, everyone couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
Legendary dragons are all incredibly noble, with breathtakingly beautiful bodies. Why does this black dragon look so strange?
Not only was it ugly, but it also had a lot of gray fur on its body. These gray furs were scattered here and there on the black dragon's body, making it look like it had sores.
And is this black dragon sick? What was it shouting just now?
They're all still alive, how can he say they're dead?
The sudden appearance of the black dragon alerted the flower fairies, who quickly cast spells to create a barrier, protecting the little flower fairies below.
Jinxia, who had lived in the Heavenly Palace for over four thousand years, naturally recognized the black dragon. In the Heavenly Realm, only the Second Prince Ye Chao possessed the true form of the black dragon.
Jinxia had a low status in the Heavenly Palace, so she naturally had no dealings with Ye Chao. However, she had heard Cang Yu say that Ye Chao came from a bad background but was very ambitious and a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
“The Crown Prince is kind-hearted and generous. If you offend him, he will usually just laugh it off. But the Second Prince is not like that. If you offend him, he will find a way to get revenge.”
This led to Jinxia having a very bad impression of Ye Chao. She originally thought that after leaving the Heavenly Palace, she and Ye Chao would not have any interaction, but she did not expect him to appear in the Flower Realm.
What is he doing here?
And what did he mean by what he just said?
Jinxia felt a strong sense of unease, and at the same time, she felt regret again, no longer wanting to be the Flower Goddess.
Her coronation ceremony was fraught with misfortune, perhaps even Heaven was telling her not to become the goddess of flowers.
Not long after the black dragon appeared, the dissipated dark clouds gathered again, and purple lightning rolled and roared within them.
A moment later, the black dragon transformed into a man in black robes. He looked up at the sky, his face radiating intense confidence.
He could easily overcome a mere heavenly tribulation.
When Ye Chao transformed into human form, Fanfan gasped and abruptly covered her mouth.
That was her lover; how could she not recognize him?
But why was he there?
Thunder rumbled down from the sky, and Ye Chao confidently went to meet it. The dazzling lightning engulfed and enveloped him.
"ah!!!!"
A piercing scream ripped through the sky, and Ye Chao, who had been full of confidence, instinctively wanted to run away.
However, this was his tribulation. Under the cover of the tribulation clouds, Ye Chao was locked on. How could he escape?
Since Qi Wang knew that Ye Chao was going to use the creatures of the Flower Realm to protect him from the Heavenly Tribulation, how could he not take precautions?
Although these little flower fairies in the Flower Realm are a bit clumsy and weak, that is no reason for others to use them as cannon fodder.
Qi Wang didn't do much, he just destroyed the formation, allowing Ye Chao to face his heavenly tribulation in its entirety.
However, I didn't expect that Ye Chao was all bark and no bite. Without the flower fairies to protect him from the lightning, he couldn't even withstand the first lightning tribulation.
There are a total of eighty-one heavenly lightning bolts for ascending to godhood. Once locked onto by the heavenly lightning, the person undergoing the tribulation has no choice but to withstand it.
Previously, Ye Chao used an array to make all the flower fairies in the Flower Realm become his clones to share the power of the lightning tribulation.
Now that the formation has failed, he has no choice but to endure it on his own.
Ye Chao was quickly struck by lightning and returned to his original form. His enormous body trembled violently as he was struck, and a burnt smell filled the air.
The flower fairies started chatting excitedly.
"What happened to that black dragon? Did it commit too many sins to be struck by lightning?"
"His vitality is really tenacious; he's been struck by lightning for so long and he's still alive..."
"Is this a little surprise arranged by the owners?"
"Who would use this method for a surprise? It's terrifying! Maybe he just accidentally barged in."
"It smells so good... Did it get cooked by being struck by lightning?"
...
The eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning were neither too long nor too short. At first, the black dragon could struggle a couple of times, but in the end, it was powerless to resist and could only lie there, letting the heavenly lightning strike its body.
"Fanfan, calm down, don't go!"
Upon realizing that the black dragon was her lover, Fanfan became excited and rushed over to protect him.
