Chapter 788: Just Unlocked a Hidden Quest
After Creation Beast finished pouring the ten-colored energy into Jiangnan, its brow looked even more exhausted!
It turned around in a circle, then lay down on the ground and fell asleep—it really seemed worn out!
(｡˘ᴥ˘｡)
At this moment, Lord Odin looked at Jiangnan with eyes full of admiration!
Brother is truly Brother after all!
Even such a powerful Bose Beast is this close to my big brother?
Jiangnan patted Odin on the shoulder.
(๐˘•ٹ•˘)ﾉ(･᷄ꇴ･᷅⸝⸝)´-
"Work hard, you hear? Learn more from your big brother. One day you'll reach the same heights as me!"
Odin nodded repeatedly: "Little brother will study hard with big brother!"
Xia Yao: (乛◡乛⑉)
Great. This guy is completely in the trap now.
Jiangnan changed the subject: "How do we get back to the ninth layer? Can you take people?"
Jiangning shook her head: "I can't. You can't go to the four-dimensional space."
As she spoke, she circled around Jiangnan several times, looking at him with great curiosity.
"Honestly, I have no idea how you survived falling into the dimensional gap and lived until now."
"The fact that you didn't die is a miracle!"
Jiangnan looked profound: "The reason I'm still alive is entirely because of my longing for you in my heart!"
"Longing can work miracles!"
Jiangning's pretty face flushed red, and she shot Jiangnan a fierce glare: "You… you're talking nonsense!"
(⑉˃᷄◡˂᷅⑉)
Xia Yao: (ಡ̫ಡ‶)
Isn't this guy good at flirting?
Why can't he figure it out at the crucial moment?
How annoying!
Jiangning twirled her fingers: "I'll go to the ninth layer first. Then you blast a spatial rift from here."
"If you're lucky, you might blast open a rift leading to the ninth layer. I'll stabilize the rift with Bose particles."
"Then you can all come over."
Jiangnan was stunned: "That's so crude?"
Jiangning shrugged: "Otherwise, there's no better way. Remember to blast it hard—that way the spatial rift will be stable."
With that, she disappeared without a trace, clearly heading to the ninth layer.
Jiangnan put his hands behind his back, tilted his head up 45°∠, and gazed at the sky.
"Little brother! This small matter of blasting a spatial rift doesn't require your big brother to act, does it?"
"Go ahead and throw a couple of moves over there, just make sure they're powerful!"
Odin nodded excitedly: "Rest assured, leave it to little brother. I can handle such a trivial matter clearly!"
With that, he transformed into a beam of light and flew straight toward the center of the tenth layer.
Jiangnan was speechless: "Do you really need to go that far? With your big brother's skills, you think he'd be hurt by you?"
Xia Yao: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Since when is blasting open a spatial rift considered a trivial matter?
And this guy actually believes his own lies!
Odin stopped in place, spread his arms, and his body lit up with dazzling light, like a small sun.
-`╰(｡･᷅Д･᷄｡)╯´-
"Let light descend upon the world!"
"Supernova!"
In an instant, heaven and earth turned white-hot.
With a deafening "BOOM," a huge ball of light three thousand meters in diameter rose from the spot.
Rock vaporized, space tore apart, and the entire tenth layer trembled violently.
The terrifying energy released seemed capable of destroying everything, like an apocalypse.
Xia Yao: (°ﾛ°٥) Ah, this...
Jiangnan: Σ(Ŏ口Ŏ|||)ﾉﾉ Holy crap!
Was that a nuclear explosion?
Nuclear explosions aren't even this fierce! Jiangnan remembered that Odin had used this move against Piers back then.
Seeing it in a video was nowhere near as shocking as experiencing it firsthand!
A walking human-shaped nuclear bomb?
As the shockwave approached, Jiangnan quickly deployed a spatial barrier, but it was instantly shattered. He then threw out a spatial wormhole.
Only then did he barely manage to withstand it.
After the explosion, a massive crater remained. Space was torn into countless cracks, like shredded cloth.
But no rift to the ninth layer had been blasted open.
Jiangnan put his hands behind his back and scolded: "Little brother, you're really not good enough! Is that all you've got?"
"Can't you even handle such a small thing? Huh?"
Odin shrank his neck at Jiangnan's words.
-`(๑◔‸◔ิ๑)´-
"Big brother, don't be mad. I'll put in more effort!"
"Light Drive. Supernova!"
"BOOM!"
An even more intense explosion erupted than before. Jiangnan swallowed hard.
No wonder everyone says Odin is fierce. This guy is truly terrifying!
Word problem:
Odin got his head smashed by Creation Beast, right?
And Creation Beast is so close to me, doesn't dare hit me. Who's more powerful?
Solution: Creation Beast > Odin
Jiangnan > Creation Beast
Thus: Jiangnan > Odin!
(๐･᷄ٹ･᷅) See?
It really proves I'm a bit more impressive, huh!
I'm such a math genius, hehe~
Xia Yao peeked at Jiangnan's profile from the side.
What's Xiao Nan giggling about over there?
...
At the ninth-layer spatial gate!
Ling Feng, Wang Ba, and the others were still guarding the place. At this moment, Qin Shou was massaging the shoulders of Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang.
Someone was also feeding them water. The shouting match had been going on for ages, and the two brothers' voices were already hoarse.
Just then, Jiangning appeared abruptly in midair, dressed in a white gown, her long icy-silk hair flowing with the wind.
Everyone stared at Jiangning, dumbfounded. Was this a fairy descending from the celestial palace?
Luo Beierte's expression shifted drastically: "Oh heavens! A Bose body! How did a Bose body appear here? On guard!"
Ling Feng and Wang Ba were terrified, every hair on their bodies standing on end: "All personnel, be alert! Stay away from the unknown!"
But Zhong Yingxue suddenly jumped up, her eyes full of surprise: "Ningning jie? How did you get here? This..."
At these words, Ling Feng and the others were stunned. What's going on? They know each other?
Jiangning smiled radiantly: "Brother Jiangnan called me over. You all take shelter. It's going to get a bit noisy soon."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and released a Bose particle sphere, enveloping everyone.
Zhong Yingxue's eyes reddened. I knew Xiao Nan would be fine!
Ling Feng gasped. Nan Shen called a Bose body over? Is that something you can just call?
This... she... damn?
What was happening before their eyes shattered Ling Feng's worldview.
As for Luo Beierte, she was completely stunned. As a royal maid of the Fish Kingdom, how could she not know what a Bose body meant?
Yet Jiangnan had such a close connection with a high-dimensional being like a Bose body?
That rune domain... and that miraculous beast-taming method...
Had Hua Xia already reached this level in this era?
"Holy Maiden, remember to report to the Sea King when we return home."
"I think we should change our diplomatic strategy."
Haiti nodded like a pecking chicken: "This transparent big sister is really beautiful!"
Just then, the space eight kilometers away suddenly trembled, then split open into a rift a thousand meters long.
Blinding light poured out of the rift, and a powerful energy wave collapsed all the rock mountains outside the rift.
Everyone watched with thumping hearts.
What on earth is happening?
Jiangning instantly appeared at the rift, releasing dense Bose particles to stabilize the spatial rift that was about to close.
"Hurry! I can't hold it long!"
From the rift, Lord Odin stepped out, his face pale and covered in sweat, his body radiating terrifying aura.
At this moment, Ling Feng and the others shivered, their expressions ugly.
"Lord Odin? It's over now. There's no way we're keeping the core!"
"He's one of the most ferocious existences among the Dao Heaven! Our luck's terrible!"
But Odin stopped at the entrance of the rift and didn't come down. He quickly cleared away the debris and tree branches blocking the rift.
Jiangnan, holding Xia Yao's hand, walked out slowly. He glanced back at Odin.
"What a failure! Took you over a dozen blasts just to open this? You're ridiculously weak, you know?"
"But this path isn't bad. You've got some eyes."
(٥･᷅﹏･᷄): "I'll keep working on it! Big brother, please go first!"
Jiangnan: (๑¯ิٹ¯ิ)☛ Good boy!
At this moment, Ling Feng and Wang Ba's jaws hit the ground!
Holy crap!
Lord Odin? Calling Jiangnan big brother?
Not only is Dandelion yours, but the Illuminati is also yours?
Is that the kind of relationship you two have?
This... this is impossible!
Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't believe it!
Odin is a Dao Heaven! Why would he recognize Nan Shen as his big brother?
Jiangnan walked all the way to everyone.
Zhong Yingxue and Mila couldn't hold back any longer and threw themselves at him.
Mila sobbed uncontrollably. Zhong Yingxue couldn't maintain her strong facade anymore; she shed her disguise, nestling in Jiangnan's arms, letting out all her longing.
Wu Liang and Xiong Er also rushed over for a bear hug. Xiao Jiuwo landed on Jiangnan's head, wailing loudly.
ଘ(◍°˃᷄口˂᷅°) "Master~ I missed you so much!"
Jiangnan looked relieved. Seeing all his companions safe by his side made all the suffering seem worth it.
"I'm back now. I just unlocked a hidden quest, that's all—a small scene. Don't cry, be good~"
Zhong Yingxue kept pounding Jiangnan's chest, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
(˵☍﹏ก) "Wuwu~ When will you stop making me laugh at a time like this? You're so bad!"
Ling Feng and Wang Ba also breathed a sigh of relief. He really did come back!
Freaking "unlocked a hidden quest" indeed!
You're probably the first person to fall into a spatial rift and come out alive!
Wang Ba asked curiously: "Nan Shen? How did Lord Odin..."
Odin: (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Lord Odin? Why does that sound so familiar to me?"
"No, something's wrong! I have a vague memory of Odin... Lord of Light?"
"Big brother! That should be my name, right?"
Jiangnan's smile suddenly froze!
