Chapter 136
The next second, a vast burst of dazzling golden light suddenly bloomed from Ye Piaoling’s body!
The brilliant radiance stung her eyes until she narrowed them slightly. In the midst of the light, she saw a golden shadow cawing as it flew out of her body.
“Caw, caw, caw! I’ve ascended! I’ve finally ascended!”
Ye Piaoling: “???”
She focused her eyes and realized that the golden shadow was actually a pile of golden sand. It had formed itself into the shape of an eagle and was joyfully flying back and forth in the air!
Ye Piaoling stared, dumb as a dog. “…A sand… sculpture?”
It was clearly an eagle made of sand!
“Correct! Caw, caw, caw!”
The sand eagle flapped its wings and cried out excitedly, “That’s me! I am the Sand Sculpture System, your Sand Sculpture System!”
“…”
Ye Piaoling’s entire brain short-circuited.
She sat up in a rage and roared, “What the hell is going on? Why would a Sand Sculpture System like you turn into an actual sand sculpture?! Didn’t you say I had an ascension reward? Why am I still here, while you’re the one who flew into the sky?!”
The sand eagle flew around excitedly for quite a while before finally folding its wings and landing on the table beside her.
“Host, don’t panic. Listen to me sophis- I mean, explain.”
“…”
Ye Piaoling glared at it.
This sand eagle had a face rather like an owl’s, a sharp beak, and big round eyes that darted around. It looked like a walking reaction meme.
The sand eagle said, “I am the prophet of the Eternal Life Origin Realm. For long ages past, I lived upon the Divine Tree.”
Ye Piaoling froze. The Eternal Life Origin Realm again!
The Silly Prophet said, “The cultivators of the Life Origin Realm refused to listen to my warnings and kept courting death until they enraged the Divine Tree… The Divine Tree was unwilling to let them obtain its spiritual power, so at the cost of its own withering and death, it sent all its spiritual power beyond the heavens. That spiritual power later transformed into two opposing life-forms…”
“One was the Immortal Spirit, who inherited the Love of the Divine Tree and represented forgiveness and salvation. The other was the Evil Spirit, who inherited the Hatred of the Divine Tree and represented vengeance and destruction.”
“Both the Immortal Spirit and the Evil Spirit were transformed from the Divine Tree, and their spiritual power is the same. The only difference lies in fate and temperament. My goal is to find the Immortal Spirit, the Love of the Divine Tree, and together save the Eternal Life Origin Realm, fight against the Evil Spirit, the Hatred of the Divine Tree, as well as the Evil Lord and those Tianxie monsters.”
Hearing this, Ye Piaoling vaguely understood something. “So I am…”
“That’s right. You and Xiao Changye are the Divine Tree’s twin spirits of love and hate!”
The Silly Prophet laughed, cawing, “At first, relying on my ability to sense the Divine Tree’s power, I found Xiao Changye first. At the time, he was roaring furiously about executing an official’s entire family. When I saw that violent, bloodthirsty behavior of his, I thought, well, he must be the Hatred of the Divine Tree…”
“So I went to the 21st century to find you. I saw you feeding leftovers to stray dogs, and you looked very loving…”
“With such an obvious contrast, this prophet instantly and brilliantly concluded that you were the one I was looking for-the Divine Tree’s Immortal Spirit!”
Ye Piaoling listened with her jaw practically on the floor.
This…
Although it felt a little arbitrary, it also kind of made sense?
The Silly Prophet said, “Di Xiulan must have also seen Xiao Changye’s identity as the Evil Spirit, which was why he took him in as a disciple, to restrain and teach him. I couldn’t slack off either, so I quickly used a sudden-death move to bring you back from the 21st century and start doing great things with me!”
By this point, Ye Piaoling was utterly speechless.
“Doing great things???”
Utterly exasperated, Ye Piaoling said, “Your method of doing great things was to make me act like a crazy fetishist and constantly steal Di Xiulan’s personal belongings?”
“That is precisely this prophet’s brilliance,” the Silly Prophet said with a laugh. “Through the trials of love, I would gradually awaken the Divine Tree’s power within you and also close the distance between you and Lord Divine Venerable!”
After a pause, it chuckled, “After all, Lord Divine Venerable’s goal is only to eradicate evil, while we want to go a step further and restore the Life Origin Realm to green mountains and clear waters. Only by establishing a special emotional bond with the Divine Venerable can we make him wholeheartedly help us. Caw, caw, caw!”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
After listening to such a forced explanation, Ye Piaoling was silent for a long time. Then she raised her head and roared, “So I spent all that money getting into his bed, finally scraped together a hundred times, and where is my reward? Don’t tell me there wasn’t actually any reward this time!”
“Of course there is a reward!”
The Silly Prophet waved its wings, and a bottle of chilled cola appeared in front of it. “This is Ascension Happy Water, and it is also the final reward I can give you.”
“H-Happy Water?” Ye Piaoling picked up the ice-cold cola.
The Silly Prophet said, “Drink it, and your power as the Love of the Divine Tree will fully awaken!”
Half skeptical, Ye Piaoling twisted off the cap and took a sip.
“Ah!”
It had been so long since she’d tasted this!
It was pretty refreshing!
The Silly Prophet asked, “Is it good?”
Ye Piaoling nodded. “It’s good!”
The Silly Prophet asked, “After drinking it, do you feel your whole body heating up, filled with the urge to go make love?”
Ye Piaoling nodded. “I do feel hot, and I want to go…”
Love?
Make love??
Ye Piaoling suddenly felt that something was wrong!
Her voice trembled as she asked, “The Happy Water you gave me… did you add something weird to it?”
“Congratulations, you got it right!”
The Silly Prophet cackled. “I added something to help you work up the courage to seek pleasure and have some fun. Guaranteed to make you feel so good you’ll ascend to heaven! Coo, coo, coo!”
