697: Chapter 108 Epilogue: Nascent Soul Transformation!

The passing of Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing's Ascension did not have a major impact on Meng Li.

Even Lan Kui was only a little sad.

Hong Kui only commented, "To be able to leave the mortal world on the same day is also a form of fortune and fate," and then paid no further attention.

Afterward, the three continued their travels.

To promote the evolution of his own Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and Lightning Laws, and to prepare for the subsequent creation process, Meng Li not only traveled the mortal world but also visited the Ghost Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, and Evil Spirit Realm. He originally wanted to visit the Divine Realm, but for some unknown reason, the Well of Gods and Demons was unilaterally sealed off by the Divine Realm.

This was something that had never happened before.

Meng Li asked Chonglou, but the latter also did not know the reason, only saying it was likely the work of the Heavenly Emperor.

Only the Heavenly Emperor could accomplish this.

After touring around, Meng Li, Hong Kui, and Lan Kui returned to the mortal world, back to Yu Zhou City, and learned that Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian had a son, named Jing Xiaoqing.

Hearing the name, Meng Li was a bit puzzled.

As far as he knew, the drama version of chinese paladin 3 had an open ending, but judging from the known information, Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian most likely did not have a son.

It was in the chinese paladin 3 game that Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian had a son named Jing Xiaolou.

The reason Jing Tian named his son that was to thank and remember Chonglou.

Because in the game, Chonglou helped Jing Tian many times and was a friend.

Now it had become Jing Xiaoqing, remembering Xu Changqing?

Curious, Meng Li asked Jing Tian, and it was indeed the case.

Because in Jing Tian's social circle, the only person who was truly a friend and needed to be remembered was Xu Changqing.

Furthermore, Jing Tian hoped his son could achieve Dao and Ascend like Xu Changqing one day.

However, this hope would likely be difficult to realize.

Because Jing Xiaoqing was too mischievous and, while not afraid of his father Jing Tian, he was afraid of his mother Tang Xuejian.

After Meng Li and the two returned, the person he feared gained another: Hong Kui.

This was because when Tang Xuejian and Hong Kui said they would hit him, they truly hit him, and they never held back.

Unexpectedly, perhaps due to inheriting Tang Xuejian's talent, Jing Xiaoqing got along very well with Hua Ying.

Meng Li simply let Hua Ying be Jing Xiaoqing's playmate.

After a while, Meng Li entered the phase where acquaintances gradually departed once again.

The first to pass away were Tang Kun and Ding Shiyan.

Next were He Bi Ping and Xu Maoshan.

Then came Jing Tian.

Because of Hong Kui and Lan Kui, Meng Li offered to help extend his life, but Jing Tian refused.

Jing Tian felt that a life lived in the mortal world, a hundred years or so, was just right; living too long would only bring pain. Moreover, he had witnessed many things, and both his dream of being a great hero and his dream of being a shopkeeper had been realized one by one. Afterward, his family was prosperous, his marriage was loving, he was free from illness and disaster, and he had many children and grandchildren—nothing to regret.

Leaving naturally just like that was quite good.

On the same day that Jing Tian passed away, Tang Xuejian followed him.

A month later, Meng Li achieved a Breakthrough in his cultivation.

The Dao Embryo combined the Laws of Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and Lightning with the Law of Creation, evolving a new Chaos, within which he transformed into a Dao Infant.

After forming the infant, the Heavenly Tribulation descended.

On a desolate mountain peak, Meng Li looked at the dark clouds brewing the Lightning Tribulation above and sighed softly.

"I should leave now."

"Go then," Hong Kui lightly replied, taking his left hand.

At the same time, Lan Kui took his right hand.

Meng Li said, "Taking you two with me, I have no certainty."

He had tried taking people away before, placing them in spatial Magical Artifacts and then bringing the artifacts into his body, or using Restraining Spirits and Dispatching Generals to draw the other party's Soul into his body.

But all attempts failed!

He was forced by the Heavenly Tribulation to use the Beiming Rebirth Technique, reverting to a blank slate state.

Even if he successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation, when leaving that world, any person or Soul he managed to carry would be erased by an invisible force.

Hearing this, Hong Kui frowned slightly: "Will it increase your danger?"

Meng Li shook his head: "I have the certainty to protect myself, but I don't have the certainty to protect you both completely. And with the slightest carelessness, you two will suffer complete annihilation of body and Soul."

Hong Kui smiled faintly: "Then complete annihilation of body and Soul will suffice."

Lan Kui added, "Whether in life or death, I want to face it with you."

"Good, then we will face it together," Meng Li said softly, gripping their hands.

Hong Kui and Lan Kui instantly transformed into streams of light and entered Meng Li's body.

In an instant, the Tribulation Lightning descended.

Terrifying lightning struck Meng Li's body, but it only slightly dirtied the corner of his robe.

Meng Li was not surprised by this.

His Lightning Law was not learned in vain.

With his current understanding of the Lightning Law, whether he could be immune to all lightning was uncertain, but resisting and dissolving the initial Lightning Tribulation was not a problem.

Immediately after, terrifying Tribulation Lightning struck one after another.

Meng Li experienced the power of the Tribulation Lightning firsthand, felt a connection, and merged with the Dao Infant, entering a state that was profoundly mysterious.

The Chaos had no sun or moon; all things lacked light, like eternal night.

Only when the lightning was born did light appear, but the lightning, while capable of slicing through darkness, could not split the Chaos that gave it birth.

If the Chaos does not open, the sun and moon do not arise; if there is no hope for light, how can one see the Dao?

To see the Dao, one must first open the Chaos, separate Heaven and Earth, and bring forth the sun and moon.

Splitting the Chaos, lightning is insufficient; Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire are themselves the Chaos. A Sharp Weapon is needed.

A Sharp Weapon? The divine demon sword, the Demon-Suppressing Sword!

A flash of inspiration struck Meng Li. With a thought, he summoned the divine demon sword and the Demon-Suppressing Sword, letting the Dao Infant hold them, attempting to cleave the Chaos he was in, but he failed.

The divine demon sword represented the power of the Demon Realm, while the Demon-Suppressing Sword contained the power of the Divine Realm.

Pure Demon and pure God, their status was insufficient; neither could split the Chaos. Only a Demon God could.

Then they could only be melted and merged into one.

Sensing this, Meng Li opened his eyes, summoned the divine demon sword and the Demon-Suppressing Sword outside his body, treating the Tribulation Lightning as nothing, and began forging the swords on the spot.

Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements activated, and the power of the Laws manifested.

Lightning strike, fire refining, water quenching, earth casting, wind cutting...

Halfway through the Tribulation Lightning strikes, the divine demon sword and the Demon-Suppressing Sword were successfully melted and reforged.

Meng Li directly applied the name from the original drama and named the new sword the "divine demon sword."

As soon as the divine demon sword was formed, it automatically flew into his body and into the Dao Infant's hand.

Subsequently, the Dao Infant swung the sword with all its might. The sword light, gathering the power of the Demon God, sliced open the new Chaos.

Once the new Chaos opened, it seemed to trigger some kind of unseen rule.

Boundless great power surged from the surrounding Void Realm into Meng Li's body, pouring into the Dao Infant like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Under the influence of this great power, the Dao Infant rapidly grew, and soon its appearance became indistinguishable from Meng Li's, its aura brilliant like a deity.

Soul Transformation!
