Chapter 245: Chapter 155: Secrets of the Jade Ring Pool? (Part 2)

He wields the authority of earth; this is his domain, and he will not fear any opponent!

But his efforts are futile in front of those two evil beings...

Even in his memories, he cannot recall the appearances of the evil beings, as if from the beginning he was not worthy to see their true forms.

Indeed, they do not need to strike together; just one of them is enough to shatter his proud authority of earth.

It is as though it controls gold, wood, water, fire, wind, thunder, lightning, and earth; every element can be used by it, rendering all of his efforts in hiding the earth meaningless...

He can only watch helplessly as the remaining evil being continues to violate Water, and the divine power on her body is gradually consumed.

It is not only Water whose power is being devoured; Earth suffers the same fate. These two evil beings have no gender—they control elemental power, and the evil being is absorbing the authority of earth from him.

Earth still refuses to give up, desperately resisting the erosion of the evil beings.

But why... why does sister appear so enamored with it!

This cuts his heart like a knife, yet his sister only looks at him with disdain, then continues to indulge the evil being upon her.

Earth does not know the appearance of the evil being on his sister, but he remembers its eyes opening! They are a pair of eyes he will never forget, emitting dazzling rainbow light.

He seems to see everything in the world within those eyes, and every question can find an answer there.

He saw his sister willingly helping the humans outside the mountains, bestowing rain and irrigating lakes for them, and it was also his sister who personally brought these two evil beings into their home. Originally, his sister did not want to hide here; she wanted contact with the outside world.

He saw his sister personally offering her water authority, and also saw his sister returning to the cavern many times after playing with him to revel with them...

Everything seemed like a nightmare...

When Earth awakens again, he is firmly fixed in the underground palace he carved by his own hands.

The evil filth covers him entirely, destined to corrupt him into a true evil being someday, until the day of his death.

The gradual corrosion makes him increasingly weak, with divine power uncontrollably dispersing, then flowing into the great marsh from the underground, bringing even greater vitality to the whole marsh, thus gathering more and more Profound Qi here.

Without the obstruction from him and sister, humans finally discovered this paradise outside the world that he and sister created together. They claimed mountains as houses, and water as ponds, seizing the home he shared with his sister.

No... this is not their home; this is his own home!

Water, the source of calamity for this chaos, she destroyed everything! She clearly could have resisted with him!

But why... why did she succumb just like that?! Leaving him alone to guard this already dilapidated home.

Earth declined into a thousand years of solitude, and when he saw that the great marsh has birthed a White Dragon Carp Divine Soul with intelligence, Earth finally made up his mind.

He would seek revenge against those two evil beings he never saw again, and also seek revenge on the sister who betrayed him!

He accepted the pollution of the evil filth and began planning to use these humans to reclaim his power. But the power cannot be entirely reclaimed, and to gain a divine power surpassing his former one, he also needs to consume the divine soul of that White Dragon Carp!

Fortunately, the evil filth on him seemed to come from that evil being with the strange eyes, which also gave him the ability to create illusions. So even if his power was insufficient to break free from the underground binding, he could make these foolish humans deliver the power right into his mouth.

He learned from the thoughts of these humans that those two evil beings have become forbidden Evil Gods, one being the Lord of Five Elements, and the other being the Master of Dreams. Their divine power grants them the title of ’Evil God’, capable of rivaling Heavenly Dao.

And Earth will also become the perfect combination of evil and divine, becoming the fourth Great Evil God in this world!

Ji Xueruo stood frozen in place, the entire conspiracy of Jade Ring Pool had already been thoroughly revealed. Earth, originally a divine beast guarding the land, was polluted by the evil beings to become what he is now, truly lamentable.

Humans in front of such existences are mere ants, their series of actions made with various purposes had long been within the calculations of these colossal beings.

What shocked Ji Xueruo even more was why she could have such a dream? Who had the power to reveal all this to her?

She could only think of one possibility—that mystical little white fish! It was that White Dragon Carp Divine Soul born with intelligence! And it quite likely inherited Water’s memories!

Only then did she share the joyous times with Earth, while merely observing during the painful memories.

But why would the little white fish have the capabilities of a Master of Dreams belonging to an evil being?

The scene shifted, this time the perspective belonged to Water.

Water lived far longer than Earth; she was an esteemed dragon, and her understanding of this world was much more profound, knowing far more world secrets.

In fact, Earth was never a sandworm but a clone created by Water using her own dragon bone. Heavenly Dao showed compassion and granted this ugly sandworm the authority of earth. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

From then on, Water finally had a companion. She cherished Earth’s existence and indulged all his requests.

But good times inevitably end, just like everything she had once experienced. Those two unprecedented Evil Gods came to them, and Water knows that they are doomed.

Fortunately, their goal was not their lives, only their power and authority.

The future Lord of Five Elements frantically plundered authority from other life forms. At that time, it had already become an unstoppable Evil God.

Water was willing to sacrifice everything so that they would spare Earth.

But in reality, she had planned everything from the start, her greatest ability had always been a secret—she could secretly copy the authority of others!

Clearly... clearly she was just one step away from completing the copy of the Master of Dreams’ authority!

Compared to that insignificant water authority, the Master of Dreams’ authority was vast enough to compete against Heavenly Dao!

With such a vast dream authority, she could at least drive these two Evil Gods out of their home!

But Earth insisted on disrupting her at the most critical time, clearly she already showed him such scenes with the dream authority... would he just leave honestly, give up and go? Why did he have to come to deliver himself to death?

This not only led to her exposing the secret of having an incomplete dream authority but also accomplished the Lord of Five Elements’ plan to collect all elemental authorities!

Due to Earth’s selfless love, everything became irrevocable.

Water was crushed at the hand of the Master of Dreams; the proud white dragon in front of the Evil God was no better than a worm.

Ironically, a thousand years later, this human fairyland-like Jade Ring Pool nurtured another spirit to guard the pool, but this time no longer a noble divine beast white dragon, but an evil being belonging to the Master of Dreams.

The little white fish inherited all of Water’s memories but was not truly Water; memories do not transform you into someone else; it was merely a creature born of almost a hundred generations of Jade Ring Pool people.

It loved its people from birth, yet it feared Earth at the lake’s bottom.

The timid thing wanted to escape but turned back on the most escape-driven wanderlust due to overwhelming guilt.

More and more of its people are being bewitched, falling into an abyss they cannot transcend.

It sensed amid the mystery that these two young people by the pool are those who would change its fate—it must bet! It must kill Earth at the lake’s bottom, returning the Jade Ring Pool to its original state!

...

Ji Xueruo sat up abruptly, gasping for air, her body damp with fragrant sweat.

She felt as if she had journeyed through a millennium, arriving at the journey’s end, returning exhausted to the original spot, that dark underground cavern.

And waking up alongside her was You Su, furrowed in a tight sword-like brow.

He apparently also experienced the same dream as Ji Xueruo, the secrets hidden deep unveiled entirely by the little white fish.

Ji Xueruo murmured, wanting to say something, yet You Su’s first words drew her out of the dream in an instant:

"Miss Ji, please... engage in Dual Cultivation with me."
