Chapter 23 Love-Brained God 23: Slaying the Gods
"Let me go! That's Chen Ri, he's injured, I need to save him!"
Fanfan was very agitated. She struggled desperately, trying to fly up into the sky to save people, but Taoyao and Xingsu held her tightly, preventing her from flying up.
"Fanfan, calm down! That's a heavenly tribulation! Are you out of your mind? What good is your little bit of magic power?"
"Fanfan, he's a black dragon, he's a member of the dragon race. He couldn't even withstand such terrifying heavenly lightning, can you?"
Unable to break free from their grasp, Fanfan could only gaze in despair at the enormous black dragon's body in the sky.
Purple lightning bolts crackled across his body, easily shattering his sturdy dragon scales and striking his flesh. Golden blood splattered everywhere, evaporating in the intense heat before it even hit the ground.
Seeing the black dragon's wretched state and recalling his previous unparalleled handsome appearance, Fanfan let out a desperate cry of despair.
"Let me go! Even if I die, I want to die with him..."
Her crying was so loud that it attracted the attention of all the flower fairies around her, and they all looked at her.
The Flower Realm is such a small place, and none of them can leave. After thousands of years of living together, the flower fairies in the Flower Realm basically know each other.
Fanfan was crying and making a fuss over here. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to know the black dragon in the sky.
"Fanfan, do you recognize that black dragon up there?"
"Fanfan, why are you crying because Black Dragon is injured? Does he have some kind of relationship with you?"
"Fanfan, the flower masters have noticed this place. Don't cry, it won't be good if you attract their attention."
Some were concerned, some were curious, but everyone was kind-hearted. Seeing Fanfan in so much pain, they kindly offered her a few words of comfort.
Fanfan was in unbearable pain and knelt on the ground, clutching her chest.
"Let me go! I need to find Chenri. I want to be with him. I can't live on alone if he dies..."
Chen Ri was far too important to her; he was her lover, the most important person in her life. If he died, how could she live on alone?
Heartbroken, Fanfan unleashed a powerful burst of strength. She shook off Taoyao and Xingsu, who were holding her, and flew headlong toward the black dragon in mid-air.
"Chenri, I've arrived..."
"Banfan!"
Tao Yao and Xing Su exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly reached out to grab her, but Fan Fan was too fast, and even with their combined efforts, they couldn't catch her.
They could only watch helplessly as Fanfan flew into the air.
Fanfan's love was too intense; this intense love unleashed a powerful force that carried her through the barrier set up by the Fangzhu (Fangzhu) and brought her to Ye Chao's side.
However, the reason why the Heavenly Tribulation is so terrifying is that under the cover of the tribulation clouds, living beings can only withstand the tribulation by force. Those who are not strong enough are easily turned into ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Fanfan came to Ye Chao's side without hesitation, wanting to shield her lover from the heavenly lightning.
However, Fanfan overestimated his own abilities and underestimated the power of heavenly lightning.
She had just arrived at Ye Chao's side, and before she could even reach out to touch her lover's face, she was struck by lightning from the sky and reduced to ashes.
Watching helplessly as Fanfan turned to ashes and disappeared, Taoyao and Xingsu cried out in shock, tears streaming down their faces.
"Banfan..."
They couldn't understand why this was happening. Fanfan and Chen Ri had only known each other for less than a month, so how could they have such a deep bond? Fanfan was even willing to die for Chen Ri.
What force supported her in making this choice?
The two were in so much pain they were about to faint, and the flower fairies around them quickly reached out to support them.
"Taoyao, Xingsu, don't be too sad. Fanfan, Fanfan, she..."
Everyone was at a loss for words to comfort Tao Yao and Xing Su. After all, Fan Fan was their best friend, and it was understandable that they couldn't accept that she had suddenly died in front of them.
The flower fairies looked solemn. They had seen a little flower fairy fly into the air, but before they could even be surprised, the little flower fairy was chopped into ashes.
What is her relationship with that black dragon, and why is she willing to die for it?
Perhaps because it was the end of the season, or perhaps because a little fairy was killed, the power of the heavenly lightning was greatly reduced.
The remaining heavenly lightning was significantly weaker than before, and when it struck the black dragon, it did not leave any further wounds.
It's just that the black dragon didn't know whether it survived such a terrifying heavenly tribulation.
The owners of these shops have lived for tens of thousands of years; they're not really clueless naiveté.
As the Heavenly Tribulation was about to end, Da Fangzhu looked at Jinxia standing to the side.
Perhaps because she had lived in the Heavenly Palace for thousands of years, Jinxia's thoughts were not as simple and straightforward as those of the female immortals in the Flower Realm, whose thoughts could be seen directly from their faces.
But after all, the Great Fang Master had taken care of her for three hundred years, so he could more or less see through her thoughts.
Jinxia's expression was clearly off. The way she looked at the black dragon was strange, as if she knew its true identity.
The grand ceremony for the enthronement of the Goddess of Flowers has been disrupted by such an incident; it's no longer feasible to continue it as before.
Da Fangzhu was still very concerned about the identity of the black dragon. After thinking for a moment, she walked to Jinxia's side and asked in a low voice.
"Jinxia, do you know who that black dragon is?"
Jinxia's body trembled, and her eyes began to dart around.
"I...I don't know..."
Her voice sounded weak and uneasy, making one feel guilty.
Da Fangzhu frowned, her voice becoming much sterner than before.
“Jinxia, not everyone is qualified to undergo the tribulation of ascending to the rank of High God. How many people in the entire Heavenly Realm have reached this level of cultivation? Even if you don’t tell me, I can find out his identity in a while.”
Jinxia is the daughter of the former Flower Goddess and is the undisputed next Flower Goddess. The Flower Masters are merely there to assist her. If Jinxia does not have a strong sense of responsibility towards the Flower Realm, it will be a hardship for the Flower Realm.
The Flower Goddess knew that Jinxia was unwilling to become the Flower Goddess, but the Flower Realm had not had a Flower Goddess for ten thousand years. The current Flower Realm seemed strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and it could be destroyed at any time if something really happened.
It has been no easy feat for the twelve Flower Goddesses to have endured until today. Now that they have finally found a successor to the Flower Goddess, they naturally hope that the next Flower Goddess can shoulder the responsibility of protecting the flower world.
It's one thing if they don't know his identity, but if they do, and then offer him help, Ye Chao will say they did it on purpose, just to curry favor with him, the second prince.
Moreover, judging from Da Fangzhu's appearance, she doesn't seem to genuinely want to save people. If she reveals Ye Chao's identity, it might cause other trouble.
Just as she was trying to find an excuse to say she didn't know him, Jinxia suddenly found that her mouth was out of her control.
"He is the second prince of the Heavenly Realm, Ye Chao."
Upon hearing this, the Great Master's expression instantly changed: "What did you say? He is the Second Prince of the Heavenly Realm?"
She heard her own voice continue speaking.
“Master Fang, Ye Chao is narrow-minded and vindictive. Even if we help him, we may not get away with it.”
“His injuries are so severe that I’m afraid the Flower Realm can’t save him. I have a way to get the Flower Realm out of this predicament.”
Jinxia's face grew increasingly terrified. Although she was the one making the sounds, these were not the words she wanted to say.
How could she possibly say such a thing?
What Jinxia found even more terrifying was yet to come.
"What the Flower Realm needs is not the Flower Goddess, but the power that the Flower Goddess possesses. I have no intention of becoming the Flower Goddess. I am willing to separate my power in exchange for my departure."
Her tone was firm, and although her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Da Fangzhu, her words were powerful and resolute.
“I will take Ye Chao away to prevent this matter from affecting the Flower Realm. I will also extract the power of the Flower Goddess and return it to the Flower Realm.”
"I like a free and unrestrained life. I don't want to be trapped in the Flower Realm for the rest of my life. As long as the Great Flower Master agrees, I will immediately strip away the power of the Flower Goddess."
Watching helplessly as she uttered words she never wanted to say, Jinxia nearly fainted.
Although she didn't want to succeed as the Flower Goddess, the Grand Flower Masters and the others had forced her into it, so she felt that it wouldn't hurt to make a sacrifice.
What separation power, what complete severing of ties with the Flower Realm, what her taking Ye Chao away...
What is all this nonsense?! She absolutely didn't want to talk about this!!
The Flower Goddess was also stunned. She knew that Jinxia did not want to be the Flower Goddess, but she did not expect that Jinxia would go to such lengths to avoid becoming the Flower Goddess.
"Jinxia, you..."
Jinxia interrupted Dafangzhu.
“Great Flower Master, even if I am physically in the Flower Realm, my heart is not there. There is no use in you forcing me to stay.”
"There's one more thing. I secretly sent messages to the Demon Lord and the Dragon God. They came back looking for me. You don't want the Flower Realm to be enemies with the Demon Realm and the Dragon God, do you?"
If Da Fangzhu had previously hesitated, unsure whether to agree to Jinxia's suggestion, now that Jinxia had spoken in such an almost threatening manner, Da Fangzhu immediately abandoned any thought of persuading her.
Jinxia has made her decision. In order to escape the Flower Realm and stop being the Flower Goddess, she has even brought out the Demon Lord and the Dragon God.
If they force her to stay, the Flower Realm will likely have to confront the Demon Realm and the Dragon God.
Seeing that Da Fangzhu was moved by her words, Jinxia's body swayed precariously. She wanted to say that this was not her true feeling, but her mouth seemed to be tightly sealed by something, making it impossible for her to even open her mouth.
Who exactly did this?
Qi Wang, who was hiding in the crowd, concealed himself once again.
Forced relationships are never sweet. Since the person doesn't want to be the flower goddess, forcing them to stay will only cause more resentment.
Since she wants to leave, then let her go.
Of course, before leaving, we should leave behind what belongs to the Flower Realm.
One cannot have it all, enjoying the benefits without fulfilling one's responsibilities.
After the Flower Goddess agreed to her request to leave, Jinxia did not hesitate to separate the power belonging to the Flower Goddess.
The bead, imbued with the power of the Flower Goddess, radiates a seven-colored light.
After it was removed, Jinxia's originally beautiful and delicate appearance lost some of its charm. Although her features were still the same, she no longer had the captivating beauty she once possessed.
She entrusted the power of the Flower Goddess to the Great Flower Master.
"Master Fang, may I leave now?"
After handing over the power of the Flower Goddess, Jinxia couldn't wait to speak, as if staying in the Flower Realm for even a second longer would be torture for her.
Seeing her like this, Da Fangzhu's eyes dimmed.
"Jinxia, although you don't want to be the Flower Goddess, you are still the daughter of the former Flower Goddess. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can return to the Flower Realm..."
However, before Da Fangzhu could finish speaking, Jinxia interrupted her without thinking.
"I won't be coming back."
She said it resolutely, then leaped into the air, her flower goddess attire vanishing instantly, and Jinxia changed back into the clothes she had worn when she came to the Flower Realm.
Without glancing down at the flower fairies below, she left with Ye Chao, who was already charred beyond recognition by the heavenly lightning.
What Jinxia didn't notice was that after she left, strange scenes appeared in the sky.
I will use the creatures of the Flower Realm to shield me from the heavenly tribulation...
Anyway, these flower fairies in the Flower Realm are all incompetent and of no use to the Heavenly Realm; keeping them around is just a waste of resources.
I won't lift a finger; I'll simply lift a finger, and some foolish flower fairies will be willing to do it for me.
It is an honor for the beings of the Flower Realm to contribute to my tribulation as a High God.
Ye Chao's face appeared clearly in the sky, and his words were clearly heard by all the flower fairies present.
Only then did the flower fairies realize that they had just escaped death.
That black dragon was actually the second prince of the Heavenly Realm. He had come to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, and the reason he chose this place was to have the flower fairies of the Flower Realm shield him from the Heavenly Tribulation.
This sudden truth struck the flower fairies, leaving them dizzy and disoriented. They stared in disbelief at the content playing repeatedly in mid-air, their minds completely blank.
What does the Heavenly Realm take the Flower Realm for? Just because the Second Prince of the Heavenly Realm is undergoing his Heavenly Tribulation, does he have to sacrifice all their lives?
The expressions of the Flower Master and the others changed drastically. They never expected that the Flower Realm had just faced such a crisis.
The protective barrier they set up for the Flower Realm was a joke; those with ill intentions could come and go as they pleased.
If it weren't for the unexpected events that occurred during this period, all the flower fairies would probably have died by now.
The head flower mistress first had the other flower mistresses appease the flower fairies, while she herself began searching the venue.
She quickly found the so-called spirit stones used to set up the formation.
If one of the spirit stones hadn't broken accidentally, the formation would have been fully formed.
"What a Ye Chao! What a Second Prince of the Heavenly Realm! What do you take our Flower Realm for?"
Da Fangzhu was so angry that she trembled all over, wishing she could tear Ye Chao to pieces.
If she still had some lingering feelings for Jinxia before, and thought that Jinxia wasn't the kind of irresponsible person, now Dafangzhu's feelings for Jinxia had completely vanished.
Judging from the way Jinxia hurriedly led Ye Chao away, she probably already knew what Ye Chao had done.
She clearly recognized Ye Chao, but refused to say anything. Moreover, judging from her ability to easily pass through the barrier and leave, it was clear that leaving the Flower Realm would be very easy for her.
With so many coincidences coming together, it's hard not to be suspicious.
Although the Flower Fairy was arrogant, she knew that the Flower Realm was no match for the gods in the Heavenly Palace.
If Ye Chao fails to overcome her tribulation, the Heavenly Emperor might very well come after them.
She needed to spread this news throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, so that all races in the four seas and eight wastelands would know what Ye Chao had done.
Although the flower fairies are not very strong, they have a unique ability: their consciousness can instantly reach any place in the world with flowers, plants and trees.
To prevent the Celestial Realm from attacking the Flower Realm, the Great Flower Master took the initiative.
"Gentlemen, please hear me out!"
The Grand Flower Fairy was quite bold; she stood on the Conferred God Platform and gave orders to the flower fairies below.
[Within three hours, the news of the Second Prince of the Heavenly Realm's intention to massacre the Flower Realm must be spread throughout the four seas and eight wastelands!]
[This concerns the life and death of the Flower Realm; please give it your all!]
At the command of the Grand Flower Fairy, all the flower fairies sprang into action.
Just then, Tao Yao and Xing Su arrived in front of the Great Fang Master.
"Master Fang, we've come to apologize..."
Tao Yao and Xing Su tearfully recounted what had happened.
"Please punish us, Great Fang Master!"
They almost ruined the Flower Realm and everyone else; they were so stupid.
