Chapter 358 Waking up from the Long Dream
"Makita!" Tokugawa Ieyasu shows a caring look. It appears that he feels painful for his beloved son's sharp headache.
It shakes Ye Xiaobei. At this moment, the character of Tokugawa Makita is in a dominant position. Standing up, he tries to break through Lin Luoran's magical shield and walks towards Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Lin Luoran frowns, " Ye Xiaobei, if you really want to be a traitor, please return my Foundation-laying Bolus first."
What is Foundation-laying Bolus?
Ye Xiaobei stops walking and remembers the trial in the Tower of Babel. When he passed the test, everyone stared at him with jealous eyes. Something good suddenly happened to him and he got the "Foundation-laying Bolus" from Lin Luoran... if he can succeed in entering the Laying Foundation period, maybe his Ye family can be prosperous in the future?
It was the most glorious moment in nerd Ye Xiaobei's life. A little bolus not only means that his life has been changed but also the Ye family has a new possibility.
He still remembers when he took the Foundation-laying Bolus home, his tough grandmother smiled and his weak father's eyes were a little wet.
Compared to "Tokugawa Makita" born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Ye Xiaobei's life is not perfect and has lived as a loser for the first two decades of his life. However, life seems to be more real and motivated as a little cultivator who is working very hard.
Memory of "Tokugawa Makita" in his mind gradually fades away. In the combat, Ye Xiaobei survives.
The fog is clear now. When Ye Xiaobei opens his eyes again, he is the optimistic young boy again.
"Eh? Lin Luoran, why are you guys here?" Ye Xiaobei is confused.
He hasn't found himself wearing a samurai suit. And, where is his Storage Bag?
Lin Luoran laughs, "General Tokugawa, now do you still want to live in your dream and refuse to wake up?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu looks gloomy, "What kind of monster you are? How dare you come to the General's Office and deceive people here! All samurais, help me take her down!"
"Yes!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu is always so overwhelming that his samurais and domestic servants forget about his weird resurrection now.
Dark clouds accumulate on the horizon and another heavy snow is about to come.
Samurais of Tokugawa shogunate are like in slow motion. A samurai lifts his Katana high and chops toward Lin Luoran's magical shield.
The thick black Qi accumulates on his blade. Tokugawa Ieyasu smirks while Lin Luoran frowns in the magical shield.
The power of faith with darkness attribute?
It seems that she guessed wrong at the beginning. This Tokugawa Ieyasu is not a poor innocent people—Only the most devout believer can use the power of faith. He is not a poor person falling for it. If Tokugawa Ieyasu is not the protagonist in this big show, he is still a major supporting actor.
"Time to fight!" Lin Luoran now wears grave expressions.
Yuan Ye summons his flying sword, Mr. Lin takes out the big sword, and Lin Qingxue clenches the magical pistol in her hand. Only Ye Xiaobei is still muddled. Seeing that everyone is so alert but he has no handle weapons, he chooses to cast spells.
The Katana slashes on the magical shield and the dark power of faith reaches the magical shield, making a burning noise.
Darkness is eroding brightness!
Lin Luoran removes the magical shield all at once and all samurais rush over unstably. She does not have the time to deal with these poor guys and just leaves them to Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye. She makes a large network with Wakan and tries to cover Tokugawa Ieyasu with it.
Tokugawa Ieyasu rolls on the ground like a drowned rat but he can still escape from Lin Luoran's big net difficultly—she is a Bearing Essence cultivator!
"You should have been dead... You betrayed your own faith and imprisoned the god you worshiped. Tokugawa Ieyasu, am I right?"
Lin Luoran doesn't speak Nihonese very well but her non-fluent words still make Tokugawa Ieyasu change his face.
Lin Luoran casts the Water Spell. All snow turns into swords suspending in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu and makes him a trapped beast.
Tokugawa Ieyasu smiles weirdly and gathers black Qi at his fingertips. He doesn't seem to be afraid of Lin Luoran's Spells of the Five Elements—
If all this is a dream and the heavy snow is also something from the dream, how can Lin Luoran's Water Spell hurt Tokugawa Ieyasu with a medium of ice and snow here? In contrast, the dark power of faith at Tokugawa Ieyasu's fingertips is extremely lethal!
To cast the holy spell, it needs the power of faith.
Lin Luoran still remembers what fire phoenix said and now she gets the opportunity to see the so-called "holy spell" in person.
Winter and summer alternate in an instant. Snow melts and then evaporates. Cumulus clouds turn into rains. The heavy rain is constantly washing the Mount Fuji. When mountain torrents break out, Edo will be flooded soon.
All these things happen only in one second or even less than one second. Lin Luoran can feel this is not a spell but the true "holy spell" that can control changes of the four seasons and ups and downs of the world. It can make all water on the earth work for the man who casts it!
Lin Luoran can even hear those shouting and crying civilians when the flood breaks through Edo.
Although she is a Bearing Essence cultivator, she is still as small as a lonely boat in the ocean in the face of such a power. She may be capsized by the rolling flood at any time...
"Fire phoenix, I hope what you said is true..."
At such a critical moment, all the light points of power of faith in Lin Luoran's ocean of consciousness are activated, as bright as crystal. However, in the situation that darkness prevails, those light points of brightness may be devoured by the darkness at any moment.
Lin Luoran makes a mysterious Taoist hand gesture.
In space, the three souls of departed, fire phoenix, silver fish, and wood wolf are staring at a black statue on the table. They all have different facial expressions.
"Are you really sure about it, brother fire phoenix?" Silver fish's scales are glittering silver which doesn't really match its sound of a cute little girl.
Fire phoenix says disdainfully, "Are you telling a joke? Such a snake monster was not enough for being a mere snack for me in the past..."
Wood wolf shrugs off, "You also said it was in the past. Now it is a character that wants to grab her godhead."
Fire phoenix kicks it, "Shut up, you won't die if you stop your quitter talk! After gathering three of the five elements, she has now almost been accepted by space. If she dies, space will definitely collapse. Do you still want to survive?"
Wood wolf doesn't want to admit it but who does not care about life in the world?
—if it doesn't want to live, why should it swallow its rage and make so many compromises!
"Just do it!"
Fire phoenix reaches out a claw and squeezes the black statue.
A loud scream rings and fire phoenix throws the broken statue out of the wooden hut with its tail.
A dark shadow gathers from the debris. The illegal outsider is noticed by space. By a purple thunder formed in the void, the shadow is smashed and turns into smoke...
"Well, it can really work!" Fire phoenix pokes its head out of the wooden hut and makes the comment.
Wood wolf rolls its eyes. It turns out that this fire phoenix is really not sure about it.
However, this should help.
...
The sky suddenly clears.
Tokugawa Ieyasu still doesn't know what happened and several samurais hurry to report something.
"General... The Toyotomi family has sent troops and surrounds our General's Office!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu takes a step back with an incredible expression on his face, "How is it possible?"
Lin Luoran looks at the receding water and asks him instead, "Why is it impossible? Because in your memory, there is not a day when Toyotomi Hideyori's armies surround Edo? The dream is no longer going as you wish. Tokugawa Ieyasu, are you still not willing to wake up?!"
"Impossible... That's impossible... Liar... you lie to me!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes are occupied with darkness.
The gate of the General's Office is suddenly knocked down to the ground. A young general riding a horse pulls the reins. Seeing corpses on the ground, he wonders who has done it before him.
Lin Luoran almost weeps with joy when she sees his familiar face.
