Chapter 2302: Breakthrough

“But that’s not too good, right?” Zu An couldn't help but protest.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Luofu was the principal of Brightmoon Academy and always had an indescribable air of dignity and maturity to her, but even though he wasn’t scared of her, he had to admit that she gave off a natural kind of pressure. This wasn’t related to strength, but rather a feeling that came from her identity.

In Brightmoon Academy, the degree to which her beautiful black silk-covered legs had been welcomed was proportional to how terrifying the sound of her high heels tapping against the ground was. Her cold and dignified presence was something that had affected not only the students of Brightmoon Academy, but also the other teachers in the same school. Whenever they heard the sounds of her high heels in the distance, they couldn't help but shiver.

After all, when she was the principal, she'd been decisive and ruthless. Who knew how many teachers and students were punished fiercely? Even though Zu An hadn’t personally experienced it before, there had always been rumors about her. His bad influence of a friend, Wei Suo, had frequently told him about Principal Jiang’s ‘glorious deeds’, and those stories were likely more or less influenced by the truth.

Was that kind of woman really going to be his female slave? He just felt as if doing so would be courting death.

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I can use this chance to empathize with the mental state of a female slave. I might even be able to publish a new paper in the academy because of this.” Jiang Luofu actually sounded quite excited, as if she was looking forward to this new identity.

Suolun Shi had a weird expression.

Are all of the women at big brother Zu’s side this open-minded?

She had to admit that Jiang Luofu was really pretty. Those black silk stockings made even her, a fellow woman, feel really moved. She even wondered whether to give them a try in private.

And yet, this kind of woman was actually going to play the role of a female slave! Which man could resist such a temptation?

Suolun Shi wondered if she had been too reserved all this time. There were so many outstanding competitors at big brother Zu’s side. If she didn’t think of something for herself, perhaps she really wouldn't be able to make her way in.

Pei Mianman and Xie Daoyun exchanged a look. The two of them had lived in Brightmoon City in the past and knew about Jiang Luofu’s great reputation. That was why such a huge contrast was really shocking.

Only someone like Yun Yuqing who showed her clan great favor during their moment of crisis, and who is close to her, could propose something like this.

More importantly, one side really dared to speak, and one side really dared to listen.

Ji Xiaoxi blinked. Even though she didn’t really get it, she knew that being female slave was quite humiliating.

Little aunt is only making such a huge sacrifice for my sake!

“Alright, then that’s how we’ll do things. Let’s start thinking about what we’ll do after we enter the Monster World then.” Jiang Luofu waved her hand, indicating that this matter was already decided.

Zu An opened his mouth, but he didn’t say anything else. It would be good to have her take care of Xiaoxi too. Additionally, when he thought about having someone like her as his slave, that was quite stimulating…

He quickly discarded the nonsense in his head and started to discuss various details with the women.

…

After the discussion was finished, the women all left to make their own respective preparations. Xie Daoyun needed to prepare a lot of talismans and formations, so as the local host, Yun Yuqing helped prepare all kinds of materials. Meanwhile, Ji Xiaoxi needed many medicines from the Demon race's territory, so Suolun Shi acted as a guide to bring her and Jiang Luofu around the area to pick ingredients. Pei Mianman received Zu An’s pointers and entered seclusion to comprehend the Paramita Butterfly intent.

On the other hand, Zu An remained at a special mountain summit that Yun Yuqing had prepared, which had the richest natural ki in the area. Thus, he started the procedure to merge the two worlds. Still, having never done such a thing before, he asked Mi Li for help just in case. “Master empress, how do I merge the worlds?”

The red-dressed Mi Li stretched her body lazily, displaying her elegant curves beautifully. “Didn’t I already explain it to you before?”

“It’s the first time, so I felt that I needed your respected self’s support,” Zu An said with a chuckle. These were two whole worlds, after all. If he made a mistake, who knew just how much trouble that would cause?

When she saw his respectful expression, Mi Li found it quite pleasing. “Since you're now the underworld emperor, you should have the authority of the underworld. You can just merge it with the world beacon. Whichever world is the main one, you can merge the law beacon of the other world into it.”

Zu An nodded. This world had to be the main one, of course. If he used the underworld as the main world, this world could end up becoming eerie and sinister. The people probably wouldn't be able to adapt to it.

Then, he took out the Netherworld Book of Life and Death. With a thought, a black and white law beacon slowly flew out. He then took out this world’s law beacon; a bright rainbow appeared in front of him. He then slowly merged the black and white law beacon into the rainbow beacon the way Mi Li taught him.

The process was easier than he'd imagined. In just a few seconds, the black and white beacon merged into the rainbow one, causing the latter to glow brilliantly. A trace of black and white appeared amid its multicolored radiance, and the beacon's light became more intense.

“Hm? Even though merging worlds isn’t hard, this is a bit too fast, right?” Even Mi Li was a bit surprised.

When he sensed the changes happening to her expression, Zu An asked, “Is it normally not this fast?”

“Of course not. This is still the merging of two entire worlds, and it should need at least an hour. A process this quick can only mean one thing.” Mi Li frowned slightly.

Zu An had to admit that a beautiful person was beautiful even when they were frowning.

“What possibility?” Zu An was surprised, but also a bit worried that something bad could have happened.

“Which is that these two worlds were originally one world to begin with,” Mi Li slowly finished, her expression turning serious.

“The same world?” Now, Zu An was also shocked. He'd learned that the underworld wasn’t complete from the Necropolis Emperor, and that it had already been fractured into many world fragments. He hadn't expected it to be a part of this world.

Various signs showed that this world was indeed special. Not only was it a Wonderpoint World that could connect to all kinds of other worlds, it was related to the underworld as well. So... Was his transmigration into this world really just a coincidence?

“You don’t need to think too much right now. You just need to slowly merge other worlds for the time being. The most pressing thing right now is to increase your strength while the worlds are merging,” Mi Li said.

“But there doesn’t seem to be that much of a difference after merging the worlds…” Before Zu An could finish his sentence, multicolored light filled the skies. Almost everyone in the world was drawn to the phenomenon, countless people coming out to look.

Soon after, the world trembled, and the mountains gradually rose. Mountains that had been hundreds of meters tall became thousands of meters tall, while those that had been thousands of meters tall were now tens of thousands of meters tall. The ones that had been tens of thousands of meters tall now soared straight into the clouds with no peak in sight. The entire world was undergoing an intense transformation. It actually seemed to be growing. Many once-flat areas had giant mountains appear, as if they had been lying dormant underground.

Whether it was the humans, Fiends, or Ocean races, they were all a bit fearful toward these changes. After all, not that much time had passed, so there was no way they could all be contacted. But even though they were feeling scared, there were people who were pleasantly surprised to discover that the world’s natural ki was now many times richer.

“I… I made a breakthrough!” It was unknown who first said that, but more and more who joined in excitedly. There were many people who had been stuck at their rank for many years with no hope of a breakthrough. They hadn’t expected to suddenly succeed at all.

In the various great clans’ ancestral lands, terrifying auras surged. Then, laughter echoed through the mountain forests. Several elders had finally broken into the earth immortal rank!

Previously, the only ones able to reach this level had been Zhao Han, the Fiend Emperor, and a tiny handful of others. Most had been unable to make it this far. The earth immortal rank was something countless clans’ old ancestors dreamed of. Now that they had finally broken through, they all wanted to find their own friends to brag to. However, they quickly sensed similar auras and realized that those friends had advanced as well.

When they sensed the changes in the world’s natural ki, they were once again amazed, realizing that this world could really be greatly changed.

Meanwhile, on the summit of the Yun clan’s mountain, Zu An slowly opened his eyes.

“I seem to have broken through as well.”
