125: Chapter 124 If you're so good, then you do it!
Beyond the real world, deep within the endless void.
There is no light here, no concept of time, only void storms that tear everything apart.
A massive purple-gold heart, like a small star, floated in the center of the void's chaotic currents.
With every pulsation, it sent out ripples of space visible to the naked eye.
Upon this giant heart, a terrifying dragon body stretching a hundred thousand meters long was rapidly gestating.
The pale skeleton resembled a continuous mountain range, with complex and ancient spatial runes engraved on every dragon bone.
Between the bones, dark red flesh was growing wildly, its surface covered in a layer of thick, eerie, and extremely foul-smelling black slime.
Half was pure dragon flesh, the other half was a deadly Abyss Virus.
Two completely different extreme powers had actually reached a bizarre balance within this massive White Dragon King's body.
"Why are you so useless? Even the artifact fell into Lin Mo's hands."
A playful female voice suddenly came from the White Dragon King's tightly closed maw.
"Haven't seen you in years, and your tongue is still as sharp as ever."
The next second, a dignified and calm male voice emanated from within the white dragon.
If Lin Mo were here, he would instantly recognize the male voice as the Dragon King and the female voice as the Demon King.
The Dragon King gave a cold snort, and the surrounding void storm abruptly calmed down.
"This world is one of the very few 'Primordial Worlds' in the vast Sea of Realms that has not been touched by higher-order rules."
"If it weren't for you fighting me back then, I would have already completely refined it into a supreme treasure and become a true god."
"Hmph, I clearly found this world first. You have some nerve saying that."
The Demon King looked displeased:
"If not for you, I would have devoured this world long ago, plundered its power entirely, and become one of the supreme Lord Gods."
"Who told you to be so useless that you can't even handle a single Lin Mo?"
At this moment, the truth from three hundred years ago was completely revealed.
There was no tragic tale of a Dragon King saving the world, nor was there any cliché plot of a demon realm invasion.
The things they had said were nothing more than lies used to deceive Lin Mo.
The real reason was extremely simple and crude.
It was a world-shaking battle that broke out between two terrifying beings of transcendent proportions over a piece of fat meat.
They fought for three years, and neither could kill the other; continuing would only lead to mutual destruction.
Thus, the two called a truce.
But neither was willing to let go.
Even less were they willing to do nothing.
Because once the King of this Primordial World was born, all their schemes would come to naught.
As Ancient Spirits of the Sea of Realms, they naturally knew the rule that every Primordial World could only gestate one King.
That's right... in truth, only one King can appear in a world; the position is unique.
And this King, upon reaching adulthood, would gradually obtain everything in this world.
And the two of them were not the true King.
They were not native beings.
So, the Dragon King used a powerful divine ability called External Incarnation to create the clone known as the White Dragon King and blended in with the natives.
He intended to have it completely control the world's inhabitants so that when the King appeared, he could control them.
As it turned out, the Demon King also wanted a piece of the pie, so she secretly implanted a virus into his incarnation.
Consequently, the White Dragon King became this monstrosity that was neither dragon nor ghost.
The Dragon King was helpless and could only hold his nose and endure the Demon King's interference.
The result was beyond doubt.
The two of them had overplayed their hand.
The resistance of the world will was even stronger than they had imagined.
Not only did it easily deal with the White Dragon King,
It even proactively split the world into two halves.
Using the outer layer as a defense, it directly faced the beings from the Sea of Realms.
This greatly increased the difficulty for them to interfere with the Main World!
Not only that.
The true King of the Primordial World... Su Xiaoli, was soon born.
Her strength was increasing at an absurd rate with every passing minute!
Despite only reaching the Second Class Advancement, her strength was enough to insta-kill those at the Fifth Class Advancement!
It was simply beyond ridiculous!
It was for this reason that both the Demon King and the Dragon King grew anxious.
They began to stir up trouble on the continent.
Their first goal was to control Lin Mo, because Lin Mo and Su Xiaoli were very close; they hoped to control Su Xiaoli by controlling Lin Mo.
And yet... they still haven't completed that first goal to this day.
Speaking of Lin Mo, the Dragon King's expression darkened.
He had incited conflict between the Noble Families and the Alliance to target Lin Mo.
But Lin Mo, that fellow, simply ignored everything.
He was inexplicably strong, defying all logic.
If the power within Su Xiaoli hadn't been so obvious, they would have almost thought Lin Mo was the King.
"That Lin Mo is too bizarre. What could I have done?"
"If you're so good, you do it."
The Dragon King curled his lip, looking impatient.
"He is but a lowly native, an existence like an ant."
"I could destroy him with a flip of my hand!"
The Demon King smiled disdainfully and continued,
"With just a small trick, Lin Mo has come to trust me completely."
"The reason he has such abilities now is all thanks to the Body of the War God and Demon God Transformation I gave him!"
"Now he wants to challenge the Gate of World-Breaking dungeon."
"I only need to appear at the critical moment."
"If he remains stubborn, I will take back his Body of the War God and Demon God Transformation."
"I'm not worried that he won't be crying and begging me for mercy then."
"When that time comes and I ask him to help control Su Xiaoli, how could he possibly refuse?"
The Dragon King sneered upon hearing this: "I hope so."
"Hmph, you just go ahead and be envious." The Demon King chuckled, covering her mouth.
...
Shen Family Manor.
Morning light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the messy, large bed.
Su Xiaoli was like a lazy kitten, hugging Lin Mo's arm, her sleeping face peaceful.
The tear stains at the corners of her eyes and her slightly disheveled long hair were evidence of the storm they had weathered last night.
Lin Mo carefully pulled his arm out.
Su Xiaoli let out a dissatisfied hum, rolled over, and hugged the pillow that carried Lin Mo's scent, continuing her deep sleep.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
From the moment they entered the room yesterday until an hour ago, Su Xiaoli hadn't stopped; they had been absurdly intimate more times than he could count.
If not for their extraordinary constitutions, something would have gone wrong long ago.
After getting dressed, Lin Mo walked out of the room quietly and closed the door behind him.
The light of the formation dissipated.
*Creak.*
Just as the door closed, a cough suddenly came from the end of the hallway.
Qin Lan was holding a cup of hot tea, leaning against the railing, looking Lin Mo up and down.
Shen Yunshang sat on the sofa nearby, her eyes filled with a bit of mischief.
