552: Chapter 552 The Way a Possession-Style Protagonist Ends

Qin Yulian, the second recorded transmigrator.

The only content written was Primordial Human Race, and... mother of Lu Wu.

Good grief, is this thing really a Primordial Human?

Its appearance is way too abstract!

What on earth did that Transmigration Senior do to give birth to such a thing?

And he keeps muttering about the Initial Flood Dragon; could it be related to that thing inside Long Tianxing?

Are they from the same era?

Zhou Yan had already organized all the information he could piece together.

First, the name Lu Wu had indeed appeared in his sight before; he was the child of that second Transmigration Senior.

His faction matched, but his name had a suffix added, and his race was a bit off.

Second, he seemed to be from the same era as the Initial Flood Dragon, but this didn't seem to help much at the moment because he didn't know much about the Initial Flood Dragon either.

"Lu Wu!"

"Your name is Lu Wu!"

"Wake up quickly, I am also of the Human Race."

Zhou Yan's words didn't have any effect; the other party continued to shout the name of the Initial Flood Dragon, pursuing him frantically.

In fact, after hearing his own name, he seemed to become even more energetic.

"It's no use, there's not enough intelligence."

After narrowly dodging another claw, Zhou Yan still didn't have a good way to deal with him.

The only thing he could do now was probably try calling out his mother's name.

However, Zhou Yan didn't shout it directly yet.

Trump cards needed to be played one by one; he had to consider whether he had other ways to ensure Yuan Chenling's safety after using this card.

Shouting this name would only lead to three results.

Instantly triggering a scripted kill to wake him up, triggering a scripted kill to start the boss's second phase, or just like before, simply shouting a sentence with no impact.

Demon Race, quickly think of a way to solve this.

He hadn't encountered this race before, hadn't even heard of it.

But the fact that the other party could reside in someone else's Heart Demon without being affected by it already meant the information gap was overwhelming him.

No more time, it seems I can only take a gamble.

Zhou Yan, who had been struggling to escape, seemed to become a different person; not only was his movement more agile, but even his eyes were more spirited.

As expected, it's still a bit short.

Feeling that his Physical Body was still affected by the other party's aura, Zhou Yan knew that even if his Primordial Spirit came in, it wouldn't be of much use.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yan suddenly gave a loud shout.

"Qin Yulian!"

Lu Wu froze instantly, his three heads letting out a roar, and the three heads seemed to be shedding tears.

The heads on either side of the middle three were biting the central skull, causing it to let out a groan of pain.

"It worked!"

Seeing that Plan A was effective, Zhou Yan reacted instantly, throwing Yuan Chenling into the Void Realm with a powerful toss.

Then he turned around and applied the Dragon attribute to Lu Wu.

The merit golden wheel appeared in Zhou Yan's hands, and the Path of Slaughter title was already equipped.

With a burst of speed, Zhou Yan charged toward those nine heads with the merit golden wheel like a chainsaw.

The merit golden wheel spun rapidly in Zhou Yan's hand; he carried it and climbed directly up Lu Wu's claws, cutting from foot to head.

Black Qi erupted and golden light splashed everywhere along the way; the merit golden wheel's special effect against evil was demonstrated to the fullest, Zhou Yan's Dragon attribute bonus was applied, and the anti-non-human bonus from the Path of Slaughter title was also successfully triggered.

This outburst hit all the buffs Zhou Yan had anticipated, giving him a glimmer of hope.

However, hope was fleeting.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Zhou Yan's Primordial Spirit was sent flying backward, crashing onto the ground.

"What was that?"

Lu Wu had just roared in front of Zhou Yan; the Dragon attribute was gone, the anti-non-human bonus was ineffective, and even the merit golden wheel had no reaction to him.

Until Zhou Yan was knocked away, that previous outburst hadn't caused him the slightest damage—not even a single hair was cut off.

"So, is this what 'HP is 0' means?"

After knocking Zhou Yan away, Lu Wu's nine heads regained their ferocious expressions and roared loudly at Zhou Yan.

"Initial Flood Dragon!"

"Traitor!"

"Deceiving me again!"

Zhou Yan lay on the ground, watching the angry giant foot about to descend.

He simply lay still, quietly waiting for his backup plan to activate.

Lu Wu didn't notice the change in the person beneath his foot and simply stepped on him in anger.

However, in the next moment, his previously immobile health bar suddenly began to plummet, dropping from a dense stack of blood vessels directly to zero health.

"No!!!"

Along with his roar, the entire pitch-black space completely disappeared, and Zhou Yan's Primordial Spirit returned to the outside world.

In the outside world, Zhou Yan's main body had already served Yuan Chenling.

Yes, served in the literal sense.

That move just now was to stall for time, exactly 5 seconds, successfully turning Yuan Chenling into food.

This was Zhou Yan's backup plan.

Although doing this was cruel, inhumane, and even bizarre, knowing that a big boss was hidden inside the other's body, the best solution was to resolve them together.

"Holy crap!"

"What smells so good?"

In a daze, Yuan Chenling seemed to smell something and instantly widened his eyes, looking toward the source of the fragrance.

There was a "whole roasted lamb" there, and beside the whole roasted lamb...

"Bo... Boss?"

"Two bosses?"

"I... you... huh?"

Yuan Chenling looked at Zhou Yan hesitantly; just as he was about to say something, he noticed his hands had become semi-transparent, and the whole Lion felt unwell.

"Oh my god!"

"How did I die!"

After a while, Yuan Chenling ate the "whole roasted lamb" with a look of despair, crying as he ate.

"Boss, I hate you!"

Zhou Yan sat nearby, shaking his head helplessly.

"Well, what could I do?"

"You had that thing inside you. You couldn't solve it yourself, and neither could I. Did you want to never be able to form a Nascent Soul for the rest of your life?"

"This is for the best. Your boss is a man of great Divine Ability; you just needed to die painlessly once, and isn't everything fine now?"

Just now, Zhou Yan and his Primordial Spirit had coordinated.

By throwing Yuan Chenling into a corner of the Heart Demon, a second before the dish was about to be completed, Zhou Yan decisively activated the suihua heavenly record, adjusting Yuan Chenling, who was in a Heart Demon state, to something like a story mode.

Just like Han Yue back then, Yuan Chenling briefly escaped the influence of being turned into a dish.

Although in the next moment he still became a dish, this allowed him to successfully outlast Lu Wu by one step.

Lu Wu's strength certainly far exceeded Yuan Chenling's; it was only at the final moment of the dish's completion that Lu Wu's death notification popped up.

If it were Yuan Chenling, he probably would have died seven or eight times already.

But through this method, Yuan Chenling not only successfully held out until the end, but because of Lu Wu's death, his Heart Demon Tribulation completely dissipated.

In other words, although his Physical Body was gone now, he had firmly become a Nascent Soul.

So after his Soul came out, Zhou Yan performed a resurrection for Yuan Chenling.

In this godforsaken place, although Zhou Yan couldn't contact the main city, Yuan Chenling was on a mount template, so he could be resurrected directly through the mount interface.

Not only that, but after resurrection, Yuan Chenling didn't even need to spend resources; he just needed to eat himself back.

Originally, facing this bizarre request, Yuan Chenling would have refused even if it killed him, but unfortunately, a little Lion ultimately couldn't resist the weight of a Soul Transformation rank chef.

Zhou Yan looked at Yuan Chenling; his face looked pained, but in reality, he could hardly suppress the corners of his mouth.

Although this was indeed a last resort, his goal was considered accomplished, and there was even an unexpected pleasant surprise.

"Ding! Player has killed BOSS [Lu Wu · Fallen], obtained special quest item 'golden book', EXP +1..."
