Chapter 783: If I free myself, you will disappear. Are you okay with that?
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
After coming back, ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ gazed at the golden lotus in a very cold and ruthless manner. After getting stared at for a while, the Virtuous Golden Lotus was so scared that it curled its lotus leaves up in an attempt to protect itself.
The lotus flower had curled its leaves up just like a sensitive plant after sensing the killing intent of the striped dragon.
Song Shuhang, who had taken possession of the Virtuous Golden Lotus in the dream, was baffled. Both the golden and black lotus flowers were something ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ personally cultivated, and Shuhang had witnessed the whole process with his very own eyes.
As such, why did ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ suddenly change its att.i.tude, starting to give the golden lotus it cultivated with its own hands murderous gazes?
The whole situation was very strange.
Song Shuhang pondered for a short moment, and then secretly observed the striped dragon in the sky through the sensory organs of the golden lotus, comparing it to the image of ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ he had in his mind.
A guess started to form in this heart… after all, ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ had changed too much after coming back.
Therefore, it either suffered from schizophrenia or had a split personality… or again, he wasn’t the same ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ that’d left earlier, but a different person.
Their build, aura, and shape were absolutely the same, without any difference.
But after a careful inspection… Song Shuhang discovered that the patterns on the body of this striped dragon in the sky were reversed if compared to those of ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’.
The patterns on the body of ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ were ‘white alternating with black’, while the patterns on the body of the striped dragon hovering above Song Shuhang’s head were ‘black alternating with white’.
Although they were both striped, their colors were inverted.
As expected, they are two different individuals. Song Shuhang finally understood what was happening. No wonder their att.i.tude was so different while looking at the Virtuous Golden Lotus.
In that case, what’s the relations.h.i.+p between ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon’ and this other striped dragon hovering above my head whose imposing manner isn’t any weaker than the other one’s? Are they twins, or is this one either a descendant or a blood relative? Then again, maybe it’s more similar to a clone? …Beyond that, why is it looking at the golden lotus with such a murderous gaze? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
He felt that he had unknowingly discovered a big secret related to the Wielder of the Heavens’ Will.
Anyway, it was worth mentioning that the striped dragon in the sky also failed to notice Song Shuhang as the latter was impersonating the ‘golden lotus’ through his dreamland innate skill.

The striped dragon stared at the golden lotus for a very long time, then it coldly snorted, and disappeared.
The Virtuous Golden Lotus was now finally out of danger, and thus unfurled its lotus leaves.
After the striped dragon disappeared, four gigantic demons slowly approached the vast demonic sea.
One was a huge, one-kilometer-long snake with its tail split into nine parts.
One was a ball-shaped demon with a size that wasn’t inferior to that of the huge snake. This demon somewhat resembled a sea urchin, and its whole body was covered with needles.
The other two resembled ordinary fishes, but they had six pairs of scaly claws on their body.
The four colossal demons finally arrived next to the Virtuous Golden Lotus, surrounding it and slowly moving around it. It seemed that someone had ordered them to protect the Virtuous Golden Lotus and not allow the other demons of the Netherworld to bring harm to it.
Song Shuhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that the Virtuous Golden Lotus had managed to survive until the 21st century, he was still very worried for the lotus flower when he saw those four colossal demons slowly approaching it.
The concept was similar to people still getting scared even if they knew in advance that they were going to watch a horror movie.
❄️❄️❄️
Time pa.s.sed by, and since there was no sunrise here in the demonic sea, Song Shuhang had no idea how many days had pa.s.sed altogether.
During this period of time, he carefully examined the various changes taking place inside the Virtuous Golden Lotus.
The golden lotus kept absorbing nutrients in the demonic sea and growing in size, and at this time, its volume had already increased by more than three times.
As long as it kept absorbing nutrients, it would eventually mature and reach the same size as the golden lotus below the ground of the scholarly faction.
At long last, it would create the ‘world of the golden lotus’ thanks to its nucleus or ‘key’.
However, if the golden lotus had already absorbed enough nutrients in ancient times—creating the world of the golden lotus—why did it still have the shape of a lotus flower in the 21st century when in the hands of the scholarly faction? Song Shuhang was confused.
Was it possible that the golden and black lotus flowers failed to fully mature in ancient times? Or did some other change occur?
❄️❄️❄️
Just in this fas.h.i.+on, day after day, Song Shuhang impersonated the golden lotus and kept growing in the demonic sea for a long, long time.
During the process, the size of the golden lotus continuously increased, but its nucleus didn’t change much. At this time, the golden lotus was solely acc.u.mulating the energy necessary to create the new world.
There was nothing to research during the growing process, and Song Shuhang was unable to obtain any important information from it.
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but sigh to himself. My body has turned into that of a lotus flower, and I have to stay in this place for around a hundred years… but how much time has pa.s.sed already?
