Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Final was expressionless as he looked at the Black Sea. It was huge and there was more than one island. Now, he was standing on another one. However, though these two islands looked as if they were in the same Black Sea, the truth was that the distance between them was incredibly large. 

It was so large that if Final wanted, he could let in a billion creatures and they would not even fill the space between these two islands. Of course, this did not stop the Ruler from teleporting here in a single step. She was now on this island, lazing around. 

Final rubbed his eyebrows, looking tired, “I have failed twice and I am slightly annoyed. Can’t you give me some time to rest?”

The Ruler said, “As long as you are willing to swear not to attack Qin Yu, I can leave right now.”

Final remained expressionless, “What do you think?”

“So I have no choice but to watch you.” The Ruler yawned, “Do you think I want to be here? I have no choice. Let’s understand each other.”

Final said, “While you are here, aren’t you worried that Rourou will take the chance to make a deal with Qin Yu?”

The Ruler replied, “That is not important. After all, he will not be able to interfere in the final result.”

The corners of her mouth twitched and she sounded extremely confident, “Moreover, I will win.”

Final thought about it before nodding, “There is no reason for you to lose.” At this moment, he suddenly frowned and looked far into the Black Sea. A chill appeared in his eyes, “That pagoda is in your hands.”

The Ruler never thought that she would be able to hide this from Final. After all, when he was behaving carefully, he was also a being that knew everything, “Mmhm. After all, we have to help little Qin Yu to defend against you killing him. Of course we have to do something.”

Final looked icy, “Whenever bad things happen, it is always only the start. My luck has not been great recently.”

The Ruler said, “Don’t be so angry. I never thought of hiding it from you; why are you so angry?” She blinked, “After all, when we are going all out, we have to use our own means and methods right?”

“Right.” Final sneered, “Then let’s see if you are faster or I am.”

This was a battle of speed.

But it was not just for pride. 

It concerned life or death!

Whether they would combine faster or he would kill faster. 

Final’s voice was icy but there was no fear in it. On the contrary, he was emitting confidence from his posture and eyes. 

The Ruler was not surprised by this. Final’s will was incredibly strong and would not be easily affected by this. 

“So does this count as falling out?” The Ruler coughed lightly, “Final, are you nervous?”

Final said slowly, “I would be lying if I said I was not affected as this concerns life and death.”

That would undoubtedly mean he was nervous. 

The Ruler sighed, “Only you can sound so confident in admitting your fear. Impressive.”

She let out a breath, “Then I am going.”

Turning and entering the Black Sea, little ripples emerged. With her back facing Final, the Ruler looked calm. 

On the silent island, Final’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the Ruler’s silhouette that was growing distant. He did not move. 

This was indeed a very good chance and he could not help but feel tempted. But after hesitating, he chose to remain silent. There were some matters where rushing to be fast would not necessarily mean success. On the contrary, rushing may result in failure. 

Wait, wait a while longer. 

As mentioned earlier, this concerned life and death so he felt slightly nervous. Because he was slightly nervous, he had to be extra cautious. 

Final would not allow any mistakes on his part. 

Above the Black Sea, the Ruler moved on. After confirming that Final had resisted, she let out a breath. This brat was really holding back. Even after showing him the pagoda, he was not that affected. 

If he had been, today would have been a good chance. What a pity. 

The Ruler shook her head. Since Final could resist so well, there was no point in staying here any longer. 

Woosh – 

She took a step out and disappeared. 

Boom boom – 

The silent and calm Black Sea suddenly grew turbulent. A splash of water was dancing wildly. 

Thereafter, without any hesitation, all the stray water suddenly seemed to contract and form a water droplet. 

After that, amidst the vast galaxy of stars, on an unassuming planet, a droplet of crystal clear water fell from an old tree onto a luscious green field and disappeared.

The Ruler who stepped into the Black Sea appeared above a majestic mountain peak. Hidden above the clouds, a Blazing Sun was shining majestically. 

Appearing in the warm light, she stretched, “Have you decided?”

The Ruler said lazily and softly, making it seem as if she was muttering to herself. 

But it was obvious that this was not the case. 

As the Ruler spoke, the warm rays that fell suddenly started to dance and a vague figure appeared, bowing, “Greetings Origin.”

This figure was like the mist; it concentrated and faded, making it seem extremely blurry. 

“Rise.” The Ruler looked down and smiled softly, “So what is your answer to my question?”

The misty figure seemed to be silent before chuckling bitterly, “Do I have a choice?”

“If I were to be hypocritical, of course. But you know that I am not that kind of person, so the answer is no.”

The misty figure almost exploded from hearing such a direct answer. Women were indeed the most terrifying creatures on earth. No matter what rank they were, as long as they were female, they would be included. 

Since there was no choice, then why ask?

The Ruler seemed to have read his mind and her smile grew more charming, “Though that may be the case, I have to wear a veil to not look too bad. After all, someone as high ranking as me needs to preserve my reputation.”

So direct!

The misty figure felt his heart skip a beat. He knew that since the Ruler even talked about ‘preserving reputation’, it showed that she had no more patience.

She could erupt at any time. 

With how he survived and his rank, though he was no match for Origin or Final, he could still create some trouble. But the problem was that there was no meaning to creating trouble. He would not regain what was lost and would only make himself fall into a more difficult position. 

“I promise!”

The misty figure said, “Your Honor Origin, I trust you and your promises. I hope you don’t let me down.”

The Ruler snapped her fingers, “Of course. You know that I always do what I say.”

The misty figure bowed and disappeared along with the light rays. 

“Done.” The Ruler smiled in satisfaction. Though this chess piece was very smart, most likely, Final would still find out. 

After all, he could find anyone amongst the nine Blazing Suns. As Origin was of the same rank, she could naturally do the same. 

If he found out, so be it. 

Ultimately, they would be comparing pure strength. Wisdom and schemes were all meaningless. 

Qin Yu killed Galaxy. Along with this, that would be three. 

Thirty percent…hmm, it was slightly low, but bearable. 

The Ruler was not going to wait any longer. Putting aside whether waiting would gain her anything...even if it did, Final would not give her any extra time. 

Rather than getting forced to attempt to combine by Final, she would rather start it on her own accord. 

Taking a deep breath, she then slowly let it out. The Ruler smiled, “Rourou.”

She spoke calmly and as soon as she said it, the wind blew and spread her words over the mountain peaks. 

But now, guided by a power, they moved across endless space, all the way to Rourou.

Underneath the galaxy of stars, a flicker of light burst in Rourou’s eyes. She was standing next to Qin Yu. 

A quick look at "" will leave you more fulfilled.

Qin Yu could sense it and looked over. 

Rourou moved her shoulders, “It seems like I was not accurate; there really isn’t much time left.”

She lifted her hand and patted Qin Yu’s shoulder, “Little brat, try to survive.”

Qin Yu frowned, “That is not auspicious to say.”

Rourou laughed out loud, “What is auspicious? Can it be eaten?”

She smiled brightly, like a soft wind under the warmth of the sun. She seemed happy and relaxed. 

It was as if she had been waiting for this day for a long time. She seemed to be eager. 

Woosh – 

Rourou disappeared. 

Qin Yu breathed in and out. 

Looking at where Rourou had just stood, he knew that he truly might not see her again. 

He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but he could not say anything. Because Qin Yu did not know what he should say at this moment and from what status he should be saying it . Did he wish for Rourou to return? Of course.

But then should the Ruler disappear? He could not be so heartless. Though they had hardly interacted, Qin Yu knew that the Ruler had saved him multiple times. 

To be ungrateful was simple to do…but Qin Yu could not do it. 

So he could only remain silent and listen to Rourou’s laughter as she disappeared from his sight. 

“Qin Yu, there are some things that you cannot interfere with.” The little blue lamp’s voice could be heard. When Qin Yu and Rourou conversed, he had remained silent to allow the both of them to have some private time. 

“I know.” Qin Yu looked calm again. The surface of his eyes were like a still lake. 

This was not pretentious nor was he forcing it. He truly was feeling calm in this moment. 

Since there was an even higher level above World Reincarnation, and they could be reborn, then Rourou and the Ruler had even more possibility to be reborn. 

So there was all the more reason he could not die. 

No matter what!

Qin Yu looked up at the galaxy of stars. He could sense Qin Seven’s aura there. 

Safe. 

This was Origin’s palace and was naturally protected by her will. Even if Final wanted to do something, he would have to spend some effort. 

At this kind of time, Final would most likely not be willing to use his power. Stepping out, Qin Yu walked into this galaxy of stars, “Let’s get prepared too.”

While the Ruler and Rourou merged to become complete, Final would definitely take action. 

Woosh –

Qin Yu appeared in the Desolate World, above Xianyang in Great Qin. 

Because this was his Great Qin. 

Here, Qin Yu was the strongest!

When Final appeared and the calamity struck, it would destroy everything…but this was not important. 

Great Qin was Qin Yu’s Great Qin. 

As long as Qin Yu lived, Great Qin would remain forever!
