109: Old friends gathered

(The plot of this chapter is too absurd, but it's a novel, so just watch it without thinking)

(If you really can't watch it, you can skip this chapter... it won't affect the subsequent plot)

(Bai Lingbing, the villainess from Chapters 7-8)

Returning to the real world, Bai Lingbing went to work every day, living a painful life as a corporate slave, her only interest was playing games similar to Pokémon,

"Perhaps this is also a game world, but one only has one life. Some people play boldly, while others play cautiously..."

Until this moment, Bai Lingbing still believed that everything she experienced in that world was just a dream.

Just then, a harsh horn of a large truck sounded in her ear, and then a sharp pain came from her body, and her consciousness completely fell into darkness.

When she opened her eyes again, Bai Lingbing was lying on a muddy mountain road, surrounded by ancient trees that blocked the sky.

The air was filled with rich Spiritual Qi, and the roars of Yao Beasts could be faintly heard in the distance.

She looked down at her palm and saw a black-glowing Poké Ball appearing out of thin air in her palm.

The ball was carved with strange patterns, completely different from the ones she used in the "Male Pokémon" world.

What made her even more excited was a cold mechanical voice ringing in her mind:

【Detected Host Soul fluctuation, Myriad Worlds Poké Ball System bound successfully】

【Current World: Profound Heaven Cultivation World】

【Capture Limit: Unlimited】

【Capture Targets: All creatures with spiritual power, including but not limited to Cultivators, Yao Beasts, and Immortal Emperors】

【Special Permission: The level of the targets captured by the Host has no limit, and they can undergo Fusion and evolution】

The corners of Bai Lingbing's mouth curled up wildly, and her eyes were filled with greed.

What did the failure in the 'Male Pokémon' world count for?

It was just flipping a boat in the gutter!

This Profound Heaven Cultivation World was her true stage!

So what if they were Immortal Emperors?

In front of her Poké Ball, they would still have to obediently be her slaves!

She stood up, patted the dirt off her body, scanned the mist-shrouded mountain peaks in the distance, and sneered:

"Liu Ruyan, Qin Jiuge, just you wait! When I capture all the immortals and trample the myriad worlds, I will definitely return and grind you into dust!"

From that day on, a bloody storm was set off in the Profound Heaven Cultivation World.

Bai Lingbing traveled through various Sects and Secret Realms like a ghost. Her Poké Ball seemed to have infinite magic.

Whether the opponent was a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor or a Soul Transformation master, as long as they were locked onto by her Poké Ball, they would be forcibly taken inside.

At first, some Cultivators didn't believe in evil, thinking that what she held was just a crooked Magical Artifact.

But when a Tribulation Crossing Stage expert was lightly taken into the ball by her without even a chance to resist, the entire Cultivation World panicked.

"That woman is a devil! Her ball can swallow the cultivation of Cultivators!"

"Run! She doesn't let anything go! Even the ten-thousand-year Phoenix of Green Luan Peak was taken away by her!"

"It's over! The Profound Heaven Cultivation World is finished!"

Panic spread like a plague, while Bai Lingbing's power expanded crazily.

In just a hundred years, her Poké Ball was filled with thousands of Cultivators, including many powerhouses at the half-step Immortal Emperor level.

Another five hundred years passed, and Bai Lingbing led the army of Cultivators she had captured to sweep across the entire Profound Heaven Cultivation World.

She stood on the ruins of the Immortal Emperor Palace, looking at the trembling creatures under her feet. The number of Poké Balls in her hand had exceeded the ten-thousand mark.

Ten thousand Immortal Emperors were kept in balls like livestock by her, ready to be called at any time.

"Hahaha!"

Bai Lingbing roared to the sky, her voice resounding through the clouds,

"From today on, I am the Dominator of the Profound Heaven Cultivation World! The Dominator of the myriad worlds!"

She waved her hand, and ten thousand Poké Balls floated in mid-air. The terrifying pressure emitted by the balls made the heavens and earth change color.

"Pass down the order, gather all the Immortal Emperors, and follow me to conquer other interfaces! I want to make the heavens and myriad worlds crawl under my feet!"

Just as Bai Lingbing's ambition reached its peak, a clear voice sounded behind her like thunder:

"Bai Lingbing, long time no see."

Bai Lingbing turned around abruptly, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

Only to see a slender figure walking slowly at the end of the mountain road.

The woman was wearing a simple white dress, her black hair like a waterfall, and her face was peerless. It was none other than Liu Ruyan.

(Liu Ruyan, the heroine from Chapters 7-8)

In the hand of Liu Ruyan, she held the ordinary Poké Ball that had once contained Qin Jiuge. The ball was glowing with a faint dark purple light, which was the aura of the power Qin Jiuge had left behind.

Behind Liu Ruyan, followed a group of entities with various shapes.

Leading them was a burly pig-man, covered in pitch-black armor, holding a thousand-jin heavy machete, with a bloodthirsty gleam flashing on the machete.

It was Fatty, the demon pig-man who once tried to conquer humans, but now he had restrained all his hostility and followed obediently behind Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan had a Poké Ball with the word "Fat" carved on it hanging from her waist.

When Fatty was about to self-destruct and destroy the world, Liu Ruyan found him with the Poké Ball that still had the aura of Qin Jiuge.

(That pig, Fatty, the protagonist of Chapters 15-17, found by the Empress in a parallel world, not the Goblin version)

"There is the aura of my benefactor on you."

Fatty looked at the Poké Ball in Liu Ruyan's hand, his eyes full of reverence.

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly and handed the Poké Ball to Fatty:

"I am looking for him. If you are willing, I can take you with me to find his tracks together."

Fatty didn't hesitate at all and took the initiative to turn into a red light and drill into the Poké Ball.

【Ding! Captured Fatty, the Fat Heavenly Emperor! SSS-Rank Divine Pet!】

Following Fatty was a figure wearing white bone armor. It had no facial features, hollow eye sockets shining with blue fire, its body was made of white bones, and it was surrounded by endless Death Qi.

Skeletal Emperor, Big Bone (the protagonist of Chapters 36-42).

Big Bone's strength was unfathomable. Back then, it led the Alliance to conquer the powerful Dragon Clan and completely unified that world.

But after completing the unification, Big Bone handed the world to Karl to protect, and then Big Bone began to feel endless emptiness, starting to recall the Devil King who had once helped it. At this time, Liu Ruyan appeared.

"Do you know that Devil King?"

Big Bone's voice was hoarse and ugly, but it carried a trace of imperceptible expectation.

Liu Ruyan nodded, placing the Poké Ball in her palm, the dark purple light flickering:

"I am looking for him."

Big Bone was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly:

"I am willing to go with you."

Before the words fell, it voluntarily entered the Poké Ball.

【Ding! Captured Skeletal Emperor Big Bone, SSS-Rank Divine Pet】

Next to Big Bone stood a young man holding a gold gatling gun.

Chapter 79-81 Protagonist (the protagonist of Chapters 79-81).

Chapter 79-81 Protagonist was wearing a black windbreaker, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's. It was Chapter 79-81 Protagonist who had once single-handedly killed his way through the endless Ghost Realm with a gold gatling gun.

When Liu Ruyan found him, Chapter 79-81 Protagonist agreed to follow almost immediately.

"The benefactor gave me the gold gatling gun. I will never forget this kindness."

Chapter 79-81 Protagonist stroked the gold gatling gun in his hand, his eyes firm.

"As long as I can find him, I will go through fire and water, and I will not refuse."

He did not resist the capture of the Poké Ball, but instead took the initiative to carry the gatling gun on his back and turned into a red light to drill into the ball.

【Ding! gold gatling gun War God Chapter 79-81 Protagonist, SS-Rank Divine Pet】

Around the waist of Liu Ruyan, there was another Poké Ball with the word "Bone" carved on it, which contained a world-ending bone dragon — Ming Gu, with unknown strength.

Ming Gu (the protagonist of Chapters 85-88).

There was also a Poké Ball with the words 'Invincible' carved on it, containing a kitchen knife wearing a hero's cape on its handle, quietly cultivating inside — invincible kitchen knife, with unknown strength.

invincible kitchen knife (the protagonist of Chapters 43-44, 62-64).

In the crowd, there was another particularly eye-catching existence.

Chapter 31 Protagonist (the protagonist of Chapter 31).

He was wearing a pink robe, his face was handsome, and he was surrounded by a faint pink halo.

It was Chapter 31 Protagonist, who possessed the female-attraction halo bestowed by Qin Jiuge and could attract all female creatures.

The female-attraction halo of Chapter 31 Protagonist made him a focus wherever he went, and countless female Yao Beasts and female Cultivators flocked to him.

But he had no interest in these at all, and only wanted to find the benefactor who bestowed the halo upon him.

When Liu Ruyan found him, Chapter 31 Protagonist followed her without saying a word.

"It is my honor to do things for the benefactor."

Chapter 31 Protagonist smiled slightly, and countless flower petals fell from the sky, but none dared to approach Liu Ruyan; he had already shielded the effect of the female-attraction halo from Liu Ruyan.

He also voluntarily entered the Poké Ball and became a companion of Liu Ruyan.

And by the side of Liu Ruyan, there was also an especially "special" existence riding.

That was a young girl wearing a fiery red dress, with snow-white skin and beautiful eyebrows, riding a fat sow.

She was the once passionate youth Ye Huohuo, who had only been separated from Qin Jiuge for less than a hundred years...

Now, she had completely turned into a beautiful and sexy girl...

Ye Huohuo's eyes when looking at Liu Ruyan carried deep vigilance and a trace of imperceptible jealousy.

Back then, Qin Jiuge gave her a sow as a mount. This sow mount must be a token of love given to her by Qin Jiuge, at least Ye Huohuo thought so...

When she learned that Liu Ruyan was looking for Qin Jiuge and that the Poké Ball in her hand could summon the aura of Qin Jiuge at any time, she almost fought with Liu Ruyan.

"I warn you!"

Ye Huohuo tugged at the ears of the sow transformed into a pig, glaring at Liu Ruyan.

"Master is mine! You are not allowed to snatch him!"

Liu Ruyan just smiled faintly and did not refute.

Ye Huohuo struggled for a long time, and finally chose to follow Liu Ruyan.

She was afraid that if she didn't follow, Liu Ruyan would find Master first and then snatch Master away.

To hold onto her master's love, she did not hesitate to discard her male form and transform into a young girl, so that she could be closer to the type her master liked.

She even specifically found a craftsman to forge a ring, inside which was kept a handkerchief that Qin Jiuge had used back in the day, wearing it on her hand at all times.

But every time she saw the Poké Ball in the hands of Liu Ruyan, she couldn't help but grind her teeth in jealousy.

She had pried into the memories of Liu Ruyan. On what grounds?

On what grounds could Liu Ruyan keep Master in a ball and shout at any time: 'Go, Qin Jiuge, I choose you!'?

Her ring simply couldn't forcibly summon Master at any time!

Ye Huohuo became angrier the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help but kick the sow beneath her: "You dead pig! Hurry up! If Liu Ruyan finds Master first, I'll stew you for meat!"

The sow, transformed into a pig, let out a wronged snort, but its pace quickened a little.

Bai Lingbing looked at the group of strange-looking beings behind Liu Ruyan, stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Liu Ruyan, you really are regressing as you live, actually taming a group of pig demons and skeleton frames! You want to stop me with these pieces of trash?"

She raised her hand and waved, and tens of thousands of Poké Balls instantly floated in mid-air. The aura of ten thousand Immortal Emperors soared into the sky, turning into a terrifying torrent of energy that crushed towards Liu Ruyan and the others.

Bai Lingbing's voice was ice-cold and bone-piercing: "Today, I will gather all of you pieces of trash into my Poké Balls and make it so you can never be reborn for eternity!"

Liu Ruyan did not change her expression. She slowly raised the ordinary Poké Ball in her hand, her fingertips gently stroking the dark purple patterns on the ball, her eyes firm: "Bai Lingbing, do you think you can do whatever you want by relying on these tamed Immortal Emperors?"

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly spread throughout the entire ruins of the Immortal Emperor Palace: "My partners are not trash; they are comrades who fight side-by-side with me, companions who voluntarily follow me to find the same person! And you, you are just a madwoman consumed by ambition!"

Liu Ruyan fiercely threw the Poké Ball into the sky, her voice clear and resolute: "Go! My partners! I choose you!"

Red light flashed! The invincible kitchen knife and a huge bone dragon flew out!

Fatty, the Fat Heavenly Emperor, charged out first, letting out an angry roar, and the big cleaver in his hand slashed down fiercely. A black blade light tore through the sky, directly splitting an Immortal Emperor's attack in half. "Whoever dares to hurt my master, I will chop them down!" Fatty's voice was like thunder, shaking the surrounding space.

The Skeletal Emperor, Big Bone, rode the huge bone dragon, Ming Bone, following closely behind. The Death Qi around the two bone-type creatures exploded instantly, and countless withered bones drilled out from the ground, turning into spears of white bone that shot towards those Immortal Emperors. "Spear of Annihilation!" Big Bone's voice was hoarse, but carried an unquestionable majesty. The huge bone dragon casually spat out a destructive ray of Death Qi, and a large swathe of Immortal Emperors died instantly, falling like mosquitoes.

Chapter 79-81 Protagonist carried the gold gatling gun, his figure flashed, and he appeared in mid-air. He aimed at those Immortal Emperors and pulled the trigger without hesitation. "Da da da da!" The golden bullets poured out like a rainstorm, each bullet containing terrifying power, instantly piercing through the defenses of dozens of Immortal Emperors. Chapter 79-81 Protagonist's eyes were cold, his gatling gun firing at full power.

Chapter 31 Protagonist smiled slightly, and the female attraction aura around his body instantly exploded. A pink halo covered the entire sky. Those Immortal Emperors tamed by Bai Lingbing instantly felt their internal Spiritual Qi become chaotic, and some female Immortal Emperors even began to involuntarily move towards the direction of Chapter 31 Protagonist. "All-Spirit Attraction!" Chapter 31 Protagonist spoke softly, his voice carrying a strange magical power.

Ye Huohuo rode the sow, holding a fire poker, and also charged up. Although she could eliminate all enemies in a single thought, charging like a knight while riding a sow was also quite fun. She waved the fire poker, smashing it towards the head of an Immortal Emperor. The sow, transformed into a pig, was not to be outdone, wanting to show off in front of Ye Huohuo. It jumped up fiercely, using its fat body to slam into an Immortal Emperor, knocking the opponent to cough up blood.

Liu Ruyan stood in place, watching her partners fighting against the ten thousand Immortal Emperors, her eyes calm. She knew that in this battle, they would definitely win. Because her partners were not slaves forced into submission. They were companions who followed voluntarily, fighting to find Qin Jiuge and to protect the faith in their hearts. And Bai Lingbing's Immortal Emperors were just a group of Puppets bound by fear and coercion. The situation of the battle was destined from the beginning.

The invincible kitchen knife killed everyone in one slash, Big Bone rode the huge bone dragon Ming Bone to rule the sky battlefield, Fatty the Fat Heavenly Emperor split the defenses of three Immortal Emperors with one axe, the Skeletal Emperor Big Bone's white bone spears pierced the hearts of dozens of Immortal Emperors, Chapter 79-81 Protagonist's gold gatling gun was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, harvesting life after life, Chapter 31 Protagonist's All-Spirit halo caused countless Immortal Emperors to lose their combat ability, and even Ye Huohuo and her sow, using a comical fighting style, took down several Immortal Emperors.

Bai Lingbing's face became paler and paler. She watched her army of Immortal Emperors retreating steadily, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Impossible! This is impossible!" Bai Lingbing screamed hysterically, "I have ten thousand Immortal Emperors! How can you possibly defeat me!" She rushed fiercely towards Liu Ruyan, condensing a black energy ball in her hand, wanting to perish together with Liu Ruyan. "Liu Ruyan! I want to kill you!"

Liu Ruyan raised her head, looking at the pouncing Bai Lingbing, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes. Just then, a dark purple light suddenly erupted from the Poké Ball in Liu Ruyan's hand. The light was gentle yet powerful, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield. The Immortal Emperors who were fighting felt this light and instantly stopped fighting. The confusion and fear in their eyes were gradually replaced by clarity.

Fatty the Fat Heavenly Emperor stopped his giant axe, the Skeletal Emperor Big Bone put away his white bone spears, Chapter 79-81 Protagonist put down the gold gatling gun, Chapter 31 Protagonist dispersed the All-Spirit halo, and Ye Huohuo grabbed the sow's ears. The energy ball in Bai Lingbing's hand melted like ice and snow the moment it touched this dark purple light. She froze in place, trembling all over, her eyes filled with despair. "This... what is this power?"

Liu Ruyan looked at the Poké Ball in her hand, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. This was the power of Qin Jiuge. It was the power she had been searching for for hundreds of years and had never given up on. She walked slowly to Bai Lingbing and spoke softly: "Bai Lingbing, you have lost."

Bai Lingbing collapsed to the ground, looking at the Poké Ball in Liu Ruyan's hand, her eyes filled with unwillingness and regret. Liu Ruyan did not kill her. She just raised her hand and waved, and a Poké Ball took Bai Lingbing inside.

[Ding! Tamed the ambitious Bai Lingbing, sealing all her abilities.]

Liu Ruyan looked at the Poké Ball in her hand and sighed softly. This feud that spanned two worlds had finally come to an end. She turned around and looked at her partners.

Fatty the Fat Heavenly Emperor grinned: "Master, where shall we go to find our benefactor next?" The Skeletal Emperor Big Bone and the bone dragon Ming Bone spoke simultaneously: "No matter the ends of the earth, we are willing to follow." Chapter 79-81 Protagonist nodded: "As long as I can find our benefactor, I am willing to go through fire and water." Chapter 31 Protagonist smiled slightly: "I believe we will find him very soon." The invincible kitchen knife turned around, the tattered cape on its handle fluttering in the wind, with quite the bearing of a great hero: "When seeing injustice, draw the blade to help; besides, being invincible is too lonely, and I want to spar with our benefactor."

Ye Huohuo rode the sow, moved close to Liu Ruyan, and looked at her vigilantly: "Hey! You are not allowed to snatch Master! Master is mine!"

Liu Ruyan looked at this group of cute partners and couldn't help but smile. She raised her hand and summoned all the Poké Balls to her side, including the one containing Bai Lingbing. She looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Qin Jiuge," Liu Ruyan whispered, her voice spreading across the entire sky, "We are coming."

In her hand, that ordinary Poké Ball glowed with an increasingly brilliant dark purple light. That was the aura of Qin Jiuge, the direction guiding them forward.

Liu Ruyan flipped onto the back of the sow. Ye Huohuo snorted in dissatisfaction, but still moved to the side. Fatty the Fat Heavenly Emperor carried his giant axe, the Skeletal Emperor Big Bone floated in mid-air, Chapter 79-81 Protagonist carried the gold gatling gun on his back, and Chapter 31 Protagonist followed behind. The group walked slowly towards the direction guided by the dark purple light on the horizon. The road ahead was long, and the return journey was unknown. But Liu Ruyan knew that as long as she did not give up, and as long as her partners were still by her side, she would eventually find that man one day. By then, she would definitely muster the courage to say that sentence to him, the words buried for hundreds of years. "Qin Jiuge, I like you."

The sow, transformed into a pig, let out a happy snort, carrying the two young girls as it walked towards the distance. Ye Huohuo had promised that as long as she followed this group to find Qin Jiuge, Ye Huohuo would help her transform back into a human. The sunlight shone on them, plating them with a layer of golden light. The journey to find Qin Jiuge had only just begun.
