Gu Yuena and the Asura God.
Started fighting?
Ning Rongrong's face was filled with utter confusion as she looked toward the version of "herself" who had poked her head out—covered in dust from the impact, clothes tattered and torn, twin tails disheveled.
She understood every single word, but when strung together, what did it even mean?
The Asura God should be busy sealing the Golden Dragon King—that was something the Evil God King had mentioned. How could he have the time to come down and pick a fight with Gu Yuena?
If Ning Rongrong remembered correctly, the barrier between the Divine Realm and the mortal world was still sealed and had not been opened. So how did the Asura God come down?
Sensing all the gazes converging on her—after all, the girl who appeared was identical to herself in every way except for the twin tails, and she even called her "main body"—it was impossible not to spark curiosity.
"Um..." Ning Rongrong braced herself and asked, "What exactly is going on? I remember sending three of you to the Sun Moon Continent. How come not even a shred of information came back?"
Logically speaking, when a clone disappeared, the main body should receive certain information.
But from beginning to end, she had received absolutely nothing. That shouldn't be possible.
As for the clone betraying her—that was even more absurd. In a certain sense, these clones were all herself.
Herself betraying herself?
Or was one of the clones trying to stand above the main body, at the pinnacle of the heavens?
"Go ahead and explain. For all of you to gather your power into one person, it probably isn't as simple as just the Asura God showing up."
Her own twin-tailed clone actually carried the marks of the other two clones as well.
That meant that, for some purpose, relying on the power of a single clone was dangerous, so they had pooled their strength.
"Sigh, don't get scared when I tell you!" The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong pried herself out of the human-shaped crater, patted the dust off her body, and tidied up her messy hairstyle and clothes, returning to a normal state.
"The Tang San you killed—he revived on the Sun Moon Continent, but not completely revived."
"Huh?" Ning Rongrong was stunned. She had completely crushed and reconstructed the Sea God god position into the rules for Lan Fozi to condense her own god position.
How could he revive? And what did "not completely revived" even mean?
Tang San had died rather simply, but she had also considered the possibility that he wasn't truly dead—after all, the Asura God Sword wasn't there.
That was why she had sent a few clones to the Sun Moon Continent to investigate...
"It's the Asura God Sword. Tang San himself possessed both the Sea God and Asura God god positions."
"But that's not what I'm trying to say." The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong sighed. "That Tang San hadn't even fully revived before he got taken out again."
"He laughed three times, and then the old silver coin Asura God inside the Asura God Sword sliced his kidneys. Dead beyond dead."
"The Asura God used the dual god positions in Tang San's soul to shape a body. His strength is roughly at the peak of a first-level god—about the same as Gu Yuena's current level."
"You can just watch for yourself. I'm too lazy to explain more. Otherwise you'll say I didn't explain it thoroughly enough again. Always causing trouble for your clones, main body."
The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong shrugged and extracted the relevant memories from her mind.
A moment later, a light orb jumped out and landed in front of Ning Rongrong.
The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong slowly merged into the black space that had formed beneath her feet.
Ning Rongrong watched her condensed clone disappear, a black line appearing on her face.
"You've taken all the fun out of it—what else can I even say?"
Ning Rongrong grumbled inwardly.
The clone vanished, and the memories flooded into Ning Rongrong's mental space.
A moment later, Ning Rongrong opened her eyes. A flash of shock passed through them.
She really hadn't expected the Asura God to come down personally to investigate because he had cut too many kidneys.
It seemed Kindness and Evil truly hadn't leaked any information to the Asura God.
However...
This clone had withdrawn herself and even left behind a memory orb.
What was that for?
To share the burden with the main body, in case her explanation wasn't detailed enough?
No, no, no—her understanding of herself couldn't possibly... ah, pfft.
In any case, there must be something unknown hidden inside.
But it didn't seem like there was anything particularly noteworthy. Condensing experienced memories into a projection was just more detailed, at most.
"Forget it." Ning Rongrong sighed.
It was just intel—was it possible there was some embarrassing video of her dying of social embarrassment?
Her clones shouldn't be that unreliable.
This called for some proper discipline!
"Ning Rongrong, say something!"
Di Tian couldn't hold back anymore. He glanced at the hovering light orb, then at Ning Rongrong who had opened her eyes but remained silent for a long time.
"What exactly is the intelligence? What happened between Master and the Asura God?"
Di Tian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The other ferocious beasts were in much the same state.
Gu Yuena was the hope of the entire forest.
Although fusing with the Dragon God's dragon soul seemed to have caused some loss of control, now that she was fighting the Asura God, how could the beasts not be worried?
As for Ning Fengzhi, he was also curious about what the Asura God looked like and how they should act in the future.
"Sigh, you all can just watch slowly!"
Ning Rongrong said nothing more. Her index finger gently touched the light orb hovering in front of her.
In an instant, the light orb shimmered and released ripples of light.
The stars shifted.
Having experienced the three-dimensional projection once before, everyone was no longer overly shocked. They focused and began watching the scenes in the projection.
Watching a movie should be enjoyed slowly.
In the blink of an eye.
One with a single ponytail, one with twin tails, and one with shoulder-length pink hair—three Ning Rongrongs appeared simultaneously in the sky above the sea.
The three of them flew across the ocean at extreme speed.
The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong spoke up: "The Sun Moon Continent the main body mentioned is in this direction, right? I kind of suspect she's directionally challenged."
The single-ponytail Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "Direction Idiot, if the main body heard that thought of yours, you'd get properly disciplined."
"Besides, didn't we confirm the exact location of the Sun Moon Continent with mental power coverage when helping Lan Fozi become a god?"
"That's true, yeah." The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong spread her hands. "But you know how the main body is—unreliable. Every time she goes out, she heads straight for nests of level 99s, just like that Tokisaki Kurumi back then."
"Who knows? Now that we're so strong, what if we arrive at the Sun Moon Continent and immediately run into a god-level being?"
As she spoke, the sea surface suddenly churned with violent waves.
A blue-white soul beast with three heads and cyan light glowing in its eyes broke through the waves. It opened its massive maw, intending to swallow the three of them in one gulp.
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Cyan-Eyed Ultimate Dragon?" The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong was somewhat surprised. "As expected, the ocean isn't very safe. We've already encountered five or six hundred-thousand-year soul beasts along the way."
"In that case, let's show it how strong we are."
"Stop chattering."
A voice interrupted the twin-tailed Ning Rongrong's muttering. A gigantic palm descended from the sky and smashed onto the blue-white, dozen-meter-long body of the Cyan-Eyed Ultimate Dragon.
"Aaaooow—"
The Cyan-Eyed Ultimate Dragon let out a miserable cry and was directly smacked back into the water.
"Hey, it ran away!"
The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong looked unhappily toward the shoulder-length-haired Ning Rongrong.
"It ran, so it ran. Hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones aren't useful to us anyway."
"Besides, didn't Lan Fozi hand over the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's hundreds-of-thousands-of-years collection earlier?"
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect isn't lacking soul bones or soul rings."
"We don't have time to waste here." Without waiting for the twin-tailed Ning Rongrong to respond, she turned into a streak of light and continued flying toward the Sun Moon Continent.
"Let's go, you childish direction idiot." The single-ponytail Ning Rongrong grumbled and followed after her.
"You people!" The twin-tailed Ning Rongrong helplessly shrugged. "Seriously—whether you have it or not, who would think it's too much? It's not like I'm picking fights with them. These hundred-thousand-year soul beasts just don't have eyes and block the road."
Even so, the twin-tailed Ning Rongrong only gave the deep sea a glance before quickly catching up with the group.
