"Huh?" Li Qingshan stilled. He suddenly understood what she meant when she said "this world is a dream". He no longer cared if he would offend her. "I think you're crazy!"
"When you're in the dream, who doesn't think you're crazy? Tell me, are you crazy? "
Clam King of Mirage Sea grabbed Li Qingshan's collar and shouted fiercely. Suddenly, she showed fear and looked around in panic. She raised a hand to cover her mouth and said to Li Qingshan in a low voice, "Say, is someone watching us right now? If my performance is too bad, will I be killed? "
Li Qingshan subconsciously looked around and suddenly reacted. He pushed her away. "Fuck you, it's fine if you're crazy, but don't infect me!"
"Tell me, what should I do!?" Clam King of Mirage Sea roared and gripped the Divine Talisman of Great Creation in her hand. With a crack, cracks appeared and blood seeped into it.
"I don't know!" Li Qingshan shouted at her.
"You think saying you don't know is enough? You idiot! "Clam King of Mirage Sea's voice grew louder.
"Stupid or smart, I follow the guidance of my heart. If I will wake up from this dream one day, why should I worry? If this is a dream I won't wake up from, then there's even less to worry about. "
Li Qingshan did not think he was an extremely smart person, so he did not think about things he could not understand.
"I see … Idiots really live easier lives!" Clam King of Mirage Sea was stunned for a moment and sighed with a bitter smile.
"If you say another word, I'll beat you up!" Li Qingshan was angry.
"It's not like you can beat me!" Clam King of Mirage Sea said disdainfully.
"Alright, I've said what I wanted to say. We can go now!" Li Qingshan was helpless.
"I've thought for thousands of years, but I still can't understand …" Clam King of Mirage Sea looked at the sky in a daze and sighed as she closed her eyes. A long time later, she opened them again and said, "Forget it!" She seemed to be relieved of a great burden.
In an instant, the world shook!
As far as Li Qingshan could see, the haze that shrouded the sky above the city dissipated. The high-rise buildings below collapsed, and the people screamed in fear. They were like headless flies bumping into each other. It was like a scene from a disaster movie.
A hundred-story skyscraper collapsed. Many people stared blankly at the shadow enveloping them, forgetting to escape.
However, the moment the building hit the ground, it silently burst into countless colorful bubbles of various sizes.
Be it the reinforced concrete, the people, or the trees, they all turned into bubbles and danced in the air. In the blink of an eye, the city had completely disappeared, leaving only the tall mirage standing alone.
Bubbles floated in all directions, filling the entire world and bursting at high altitudes.
The illusion was collapsing …
The blue sky twisted and rippled with colors. Li Qingshan suddenly realized that they were in a giant bubble. Outside the bubble, thunder could be heard in the distance.
Li Qingshan was surprised. He exchanged glances with Xiao An. "Don't tell me this is …"
"Last question, Li Qingshan." The Clam King of Mirage Sea's figure gradually turned illusory. She asked, "Now tell me, am I real?"
"I don't know," Li Qingshan said honestly. He really could not understand the Clam King of Mirage Sea. The thunder grew closer and louder. It contained a terrifying aura that could crush and destroy everything. This was, without a doubt, the fourth heavenly tribulation!
The thousands of years of thinking might have been nothing, but even if he could not obtain an answer, he could let go of the question.
She had begun the tribulation. She would ascend to another world, or she would turn into dust in the tribulation lightning. This would be the time to bid farewell.
"Alright then! At least remember my name, just like how you remember Little Ann and that cow. Although you treat me as a stranger, I will still treat you as an old friend, "the Clam King of Mirage Sea pleaded. Her figure became even more illusory, just like the thousands of bubbles behind her.
"I will." Li Qingshan's heart moved, and he nodded seriously.
The Clam King of Mirage Sea tossed the Divine Talisman of Great Creation back to him. "Shen Mengdie."
The moment she said these three words, all the bubbles burst at the same time. Every burst seemed to repeat these three words, deeply imprinted in his heart.
She smiled slightly and burst like a bubble. From among the colors, a butterfly that Li Qingshan had once seen in his dark dreams flew out. It danced in a riot of colors, circled around Li Qingshan once, and then flew into the sky.
The colors of the thousands of broken bubbles all gathered on the butterfly's body, dragging a long rainbow behind it. It broke through the largest bubble called "Mirage Sea"!
The illusion collapsed and disappeared …
Boom!
Scorching lightning filled the entire world, but it was still unable to drown out the beautiful rainbow.
Li Qingshan and Little Ann flew far away. All they saw was the butterfly dancing in the lightning, as light as a dream. It seemed extremely fragile, but whenever a bolt of tribulation lightning landed on her, it would produce a riot of colors, dyeing the tribulation lightning into a rainbow.
The butterfly continued to fly upward, and the entire sky was dyed by her dreamy colors, as if she was constantly asking, am I real? Am I real?
Across the nine provinces, many figures stopped what they were doing and gazed in the direction of the South sea. Their expressions varied, either envy, contemplation, or vigilance.
The Banyan Tree King pondered, He's actually ascended. Has he finally resolved the mystery kid Si left behind for him? Fortunately, Qingshan and the others are fine. I originally thought it was my fate, but I never thought it would help him, or should I say, her first?
The King of Southern Yue pondered in thought, The Clam King of Mirage Sea was one of the strongest among the Seventy-two Daemon Kings in the past. She was trapped in the South sea by the Xia emperor's scheme, unable to ascend even after all this time. Now that she's finally undergoing the tribulation, it won't affect the overall situation much.
The master of the sword pavilion sighed. "The fourth heavenly tribulation truly is powerful. Even from so far away, it can shake up my mind. I wonder when I'll be able to take that step?"
Quite a while later, when the final rumble of thunder faded away, the silver moon hung over the sea quietly.
The rainbow sky remained in Li Qingshan's heart, gazing at it for a very long time. Who knew whether it was because of the might of the world or because of her. Perhaps it was both.
"She succeeded," Little Ann said calmly.
Just when Li Qingshan was about to say something, a familiar voice rang out from beside him, "She flew so high!" Suddenly, he looked over, only to see the Clam King of Mirage Sea, Shen Mengdie, covering her eyes with her hand as she gazed into the distant horizon. She acted like it had nothing to do with her.
Even Little Ann, who had always remained unfazed, was taken aback.
Li Qingshan glanced at the sky before lowering his head to look at her. He said in surprise, "Aren't you …"
"How stupid! The one who ascended was clearly a butterfly. I'm called the Clam King of Mirage Sea. Do you think the clam and the butterfly are the same thing? "Shen Mengdie said with a disdainful expression.
"Why didn't you …"
"We're living in a dream. Who knows what will happen after ascension? Although there are six paths of reincarnation, it might be a huge lie. What if that dreamer doesn't dream of the world outside the nine provinces, and that place is just a dreamless void? Wouldn't I be dead for sure? How can I take such a risk?!"
Shen Mengdie explained seriously. Suddenly, she frowned. "No, you can't say that. It's too disrespectful!" She knelt down toward the sky and chanted piously, "Oh great master of dreams, I am your loyal servant. Please forgive my rudeness. You useless idiot, kill me if you have the guts!"
After saying this, she looked around cautiously. However, the sea breeze was calm, and the moonlight was gentle. Nothing happened.
Her lips curled into a smug smile. That smile gradually widened into hysterical laughter. She leaped up, waved her arms, and jumped and ran on the surface of the sea. "Hahahaha! I'm the smartest! I'm the strongest! You're all idiots! "
Li Qingshan finally confirmed one thing. She really had gone mad!
However, he was unsure whether what he saw right now was just an illusion she had left behind, or whether the butterfly that had flown away had always been a dream of hers.
Regardless, she had indeed undergone the fourth heavenly tribulation, and she was no longer bound by the Mirage Sea. Just the thought of a "super madwoman" like her was terrifying.
After going mad, Shen Mengdie arrived before Li Qingshan again. She walked over the waves, elegant and serene, as beautiful as a dream. It was impossible to imagine what she looked like when she went mad. She said, "I'm leaving."
"Where?" Li Qingshan asked instinctively, but he regretted it as soon as he asked it. What did that have to do with him?
"The Dragon province. I still have a debt to settle." Shen Mengdie revealed a chilling, sunken smile. Afterwards, before Li Qingshan could say anything, she burst like a bubble and vanished. All that remained was her final words, echoing through the sea, under the moon, and in his heart.
