Chapter 3903 The Card of the Progenitor
A bucket of cold water was poured directly onto Sun Ming, soaking him to the bone.
[Tyrannosaurus] Brother narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought... If this really is the senior brother, then how awesome would this be? He would have to blow up a few void eras, right?
The cold water seemed to sober Sun Ming up quite a bit—but at the same time, it also made him more irritable.
"What are you doing..." He staggered and grabbed Tyrannosaurus's collar, roaring, "What are you doing!"
Without saying a word, [Tyrannosaurus] unleashed a friendship-ending punch on Sun Ming's face, knocking him to the ground—this one punch is enough for him to brag about until the next Divine Era... Awesome!
Roar--! !
Sun Ming, whose ferocity was aroused, instinctively retaliated... but how could he, in his drunken stupor and driven solely by rage, possibly be a match for the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Take it easily.
[Tyrannosaurus] knelt down on Sun Ming's back, pressing his head to the floor, and sneered, "You're such trash, I can take on ten of you by myself!"
Sun Ming was unable to break free immediately, but his eyes gradually turned bloodshot, and his appearance became increasingly violent... The characteristics of a demonic transformation began to appear on his body.
As a Tyrannosaurus with half-demon blood, it naturally knew what this meant. It skillfully reached out and pinched several major acupoints on Sun Ming's body... Instantly, Sun Ming seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his limbs became weak and powerless.
"Buddha's disciple, what has happened?!"
The man in white outside the door had clearly heard the commotion.
Di Qinglong calmly said, "It's nothing. These guys were just courting death and dared to defy this Buddhist disciple... They've already been suppressed, so what's the big deal? Quiet down!"
"Yes……"
Di Qinglong then walked over to the two of them and gestured for Tyrannosaurus to release Sun Ming... He casually helped Sun Ming up and, looking at the disheveled Sun Ming, said seriously, "Boss Sun, no matter what, since fate has brought us together, let's take it as a kind of destiny. Whether it's a good or bad destiny, it has temporarily bound us together."
Sun Ming wiped the water off his face, frowned, and remained silent.
Di Qinglong continued, "Brother Sun, whether you like to escape reality or you haven't been able to get over what happened in Huoyun City... whatever the reason, you probably want a quiet place where you can just lie there like a lump of mud, right?"
Sun Ming remained silent.
Di Qinglong sighed. "If you still want a quiet place to hide away, then cooperate with us... at least, let's resolve the current troubles first?"
"Forget it, Lao Di, this guy's done for." [Tyrannosaurus] said sarcastically, "I'd rather continue playing that little brat Sun Lanbao! Even a pig is better than this drunkard!"
Sun Ming merely glanced coldly at [Tyrannosaurus], then looked at Di Qinglong and said indifferently, "Do you have any wine?"
"What the hell is wrong with my temper?" Tyrannosaurus Brother clenched his hard fist again, seemingly furious.
Di Qinglong gestured with his eyes... There was wine in the room, and it was even a rare delicacy—he personally took a bottle and handed it to Sun Ming without saying a word.
Sun Ming pried open the bottle and poured out the strong liquor until it was completely empty. Then he wiped his mouth and said, "You know, the best way to sober up is to drink even stronger liquor... This liquor is not bad."
A glint of sharpness flashed like a sword being drawn from its sheath, then vanished in an instant.
"Finally... looking somewhat human?" Tyrannosaurus muttered to himself.
Di Qinglong was momentarily lost in thought... Sun Ming, is he really not the "Senior Brother"?
"Alright, alright, only with harmony can we achieve great things and bring wealth from all directions!" [Bai Wuxia] said with a sigh, "Seeing the three of you so harmonious, I'm suddenly very moved!"
"What's it to you, old man Bai! You want a beating, don't you!"
Bai Wuxia smiled fearfully and hid behind Di Qinglong... about two meters behind him.
This time, Tyrannosaurus Rex did not continue to cause trouble for Bai Wuxia.
"Boss Sun, what are your thoughts?" Di Qinglong suddenly asked.
Sun Ming closed his eyes, slowly inhaled the air, and thought for a moment before saying, "Tell me everything first."
There was still some time before the execution began, so Di Qinglong carefully explained the current situation to Sun Ming, "...Boss Sun, that's how it is..."
"Such a divine artifact exists in the world..." Sun Ming murmured to himself, his eyes glazed over. "The Moonlight Box, can it really travel through time?"
“Yes… we appeared in this [Kasyapa] world because of the power of the treasure box. That’s the best proof, isn’t it?” Di Qinglong nodded and said seriously, “The power of the treasure box is enough to allow people to jump between any points in the river of time. Even in the sequence of [Void Artifacts], it is of an extremely high level… However, according to Master… according to Master [San Zang], the treasure box seems to be damaged, its functions are incomplete, and it even occasionally malfunctions.”
Sun Ming nodded, then suddenly said, "[The Card of God]..."
"【Card of God】?" Di Qinglong was taken aback.
Sun Ming said, "When I was captured, that [Three-Life Buddha Son] personally interrogated me about the [Card of God], but later he discovered that I was not Sun Lanbao at all, so he locked me up... From the [Three-Life Buddha Son], I heard something: that [Card of God] seems to have the power to overthrow the rule of [Central Spirit Mountain]."
"Is it really that awesome?" Tyrannosaurus Brother shook the crystal box in his hand frantically.
The blue candies inside the crystal box had faded in color by at least half... which was a tacit admission.
“We need this [Card of God],” Sun Ming pondered. “In this world, our power is limited, and easily showing weakness will attract the erosion of the [Second Element]… To gain a foothold here, we must borrow the power of cards. The [Card of God] is especially important.”
"That's why I said, we should have stabbed Sun Lanbao to death last night and made the [God Card] drop!" [Tyrannosaurus] Bro cursed again.
Di Qinglong pondered silently, then took the box directly from Tyrannosaurus's hand. "Buddha's disciple, is there anything else you haven't said about the God Card...? After all, you don't want anyone to see you like this, do you? And what about your desire to transform yourself into Xuanzang..."
"What...what do you want to do..." the blue candy trembled.
"Why does the [Card of God] possess the power to overthrow the [Central Spirit Mountain]?" Di Qinglong asked directly. "Legend has it that [Gautama] also possessed a [Card of God], the world's first and strongest card, known as the progenitor card... Does it also have things it fears?"
The blue candy remained silent.
"You won't talk, huh?" [Tyrannosaurus] suddenly sneered. "I just happen to need to pee... Master Buddha, how about taking a bath?"
"...Wait! I'll talk! I'll talk!" Blue Candy exclaimed in terror, "The God Card in Lord Gautama's hand is indeed the Primordial Card... However, there are actually two Primordial Cards! The one stolen by Sun Lanbao is one of them... Both God Cards possess equal power. We only claimed to the outside world that the stolen God Card was formed later to maintain this secret..."
"Then why does the God Card disappear after Sun Lanbao touches it?" Di Qinglong asked in confusion.
"This...this Buddhist disciple...I actually don't know either!" Blue Candy quickly said.
[Tyrannosaurus] Brother started unbuckling his belt as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Hiss..." Blue Candy gasped, then blurted out in alarm, "But I guess... I guess it might be related to that [legend]!"
"What legend?" Sun Ming asked in a deep voice.
Blue Candy was very cooperative this time, "This... needs to be explained from the origin of the [Kasyapa] world. The history of [Kasyapa] has actually been distorted. Before Lord [Gautama] appeared, the world was not a situation of confrontation between humans and [villains]..."
Tyrannosaurus Rex simply blinked, showing no particular feeling—but Di Qinglong's feelings were much deeper, after all, he had arrived a year earlier and witnessed too much cruelty between the Kasyapa world and the human race.
Blue Candy slowly said, "Back then, there were no villains. It was a very peaceful and harmonious world... But suddenly one day, a group of invaders from outer space descended upon the world of Kasyapa. The invaders frantically plundered everything in the world, and the people on earth began to resist."
"...In the long years of resistance, the humans on Earth learned the power of the extraterrestrial invaders, which later became known as the power of the 'Second Element'."
"While this power helped humanity on Earth resist the invaders to some extent, it didn't change the situation much... Instead, humanity on Earth gradually discovered that the [Second Element] would cause people to gradually lose control, and that this was irreversible."
"However, in order to drive away these invaders, despite the fact that using the [Second Element] is a path of no return, countless humans on Earth have followed one after another in learning to use this power... Even children under the age of ten have mastered at least one aspect of it. I have seen some incomplete records about that era collected in the [Central Spirit Mountain], and it was a very tragic era..."
"The war between the two sides has been fierce and has lasted for nearly a hundred years, with no end in sight... until the appearance of the [God Card]. To this day, no one knows the reason for the formation of the [God Card]. It is a completely new power outside of the [Second Element], and two were born in total. One of them was in the hands of Lord Gautama, and the other... there are very few records about the other one."
"Legend has it that in that era, three mysterious heroes appeared, who fought alongside Lord Gautama... According to the ancient text I saw, when the three heroes were gathered together, the God of Destruction, possessing the power of complete destruction, would rule the sky with terror... Their colors were red, blue, and yellow."
The room was quiet, everyone was listening to the [Three Buddhas' Son] recount the truth of the history of the [Kasyapa] world.
"When the three [Heroes] are gathered together, the God of Destruction, possessing the power of complete destruction, will rule the sky with terror..." Di Qinglong muttered to himself.
"Red, blue... yellow?" Tyrannosaurus Brother frowned.
The Three Buddhas said softly, "Furthermore, according to the descriptions in the ancient texts... I've discovered another secret. Sun Lanbao's warrior form bears a striking resemblance to the legendary red 'Hero.' I even suspected that Xuanzang left the Central Sacred Mountain after seeing the main text of this history... to search for these legendary 'Heroes,' and he might even have already found them! If Xuanzang hadn't leaked information behind the scenes, Sun Lanbao wouldn't have been able to steal that sealed 'Card of God' so easily!"
"Oh, I think I understand some of it..." Bai Wuxia suddenly said, "You mean, as long as we collect Sun Lanbao, Zhu Guo, and Sha Toutuo, it's possible to activate the power of the second God Card and summon a God of Destruction with the power of complete destruction?"
Sun Ming and the others subconsciously looked at Bai Wuxia.
Bai Wuxia immediately shrank back and said with a forced smile, "My humble opinion! My humble opinion... Please don't take it seriously, gentlemen..."
"No... this conjecture might be true." Di Qinglong shook his head. If the [Traveler's Creed] is indeed the protagonist of this world...
"So what?" Tyrannosaurus Rex paused for a moment. "Does that mean killing one Sun Lanbao isn't enough, you have to kill the other two as well?"
"...Besides stabbing people, you've done nothing else?" Di Qinglong couldn't help but cover his face—Old Sha, what on earth have you been through! You were much cuter when you were all goofy and simple-minded...
[Tyrannosaurus] Bro scoffed, "If I don't stab someone, am I supposed to wait for someone else to stab me?"
...That makes sense, actually.
"Your Excellency, it's almost time... Shall we proceed to the execution ground?"
Just then, a cautious voice called out from outside the door, this time from a bald man in a white robe.
The people in the room looked at each other, falling into a silent silence—finally, Di Qinglong said in a deep voice, "Let's prepare to set off!"
"As ordered!"
……
"Old Di, shouldn't we take this opportunity to run away?" [Tyrannosaurus] suddenly realized.
Di Qinglong took a deep breath and said, "If we miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult for us to find our master... to find Master Sanzang."
"Are you so sure that bald guy will definitely show up at the execution ground?" Tyrannosaurus frowned. "Can you guarantee that this Venerable Guanyin hasn't seen through the bald guy's identity yet?"
"Let's take a gamble," Di Qinglong said in a deep voice. "We need to prepare for the worst. If all else fails, I have a backup plan."
"What backup plan?" Tyrannosaurus asked in surprise.
“If we say it now, it won’t work later,” Di Qinglong said calmly. “In short… let’s just play it by ear.”
After saying that, Di Qinglong took out two more defective Arhat Soldier cards and gave them to Sun Ming and Bai Wuxia respectively.
……
……
【Interpretation of the city】.
In a quiet courtyard in a residential area... garden flowers are dancing in the air, and scattered cherry blossoms are falling into the pond—a handsome young man is sitting cross-legged on the edge of the pond, fishing for koi in the water.
Suddenly, light footsteps came from behind the handsome young man.
The handsome young man didn't turn around, but heard a hesitant voice behind him, tinged with uncertainty, "Xuanzang?"
The handsome young man smiled slightly, "What, it's been so long, you've already forgotten me... Miaoshan."
The person behind him fell silent... The handsome young man stood up, looking somewhat puzzled, and slowly turned around—before him stood the Venerable Avalokiteshvara.
"What's wrong? You seem... not too keen on seeing me," the handsome young man said softly, his face always bearing a carefree and charming smile.
Miaoshan… [Avalokitesvara] Venerable gently shook his head, “I’m just curious, since you’re here, then… who exactly is that guy?”
"That... guy?" The handsome guy couldn't help but ask curiously, then seemed to realize something, "You mean, the guy who was captured by the Third Life, the one who looks a lot like me?"
Guanzizai pondered, "It seems that the three lifetimes are mostly still in the dark."
“That’s how he is.” The handsome young man smiled slightly. “He looks impatient, and his personality is also impatient… so naturally, he’s easy to fall into traps.”
[Guanzizai] calmly said, "Isn't the reason why the three lifetimes have become like this precisely because of your existence?"
“I can’t stop people from having all sorts of opinions about me.” The handsome young man shook his head slightly, “Just as I can’t stop the fact that I am the son of Gautama.”
“You still resist him so much…” Guanzizai sighed, then said in a deep voice, “You lured me out here, not to reminisce about the past, were you?”
"Release the monk." The handsome young man said directly, "I know that the only one in your hands is the real monk... Release him, and I won't care about the rest."
“You know, the Second Progenitor Card… I’m determined to retrieve it.” [Guanzizai]’s gaze sharpened as well. “And you, you’d better come back with me.”
The handsome young man sighed, silently opened his trench coat, took out a cigarette case, picked one out and lit it. "Looks like there's no other way... Miaoshan."
[Guanzizai] suddenly chuckled, "Speaking of which, I suddenly realized... that imposter in my palace looks much cuter than you."
A silver lotus flower instantly bloomed from the center of Avalokiteshvara's brow.
The handsome young man's gaze narrowed slightly, and strands of golden light enveloped his entire body. He whispered, "Transform... [Golden Cicada]!"
