Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 891: Can't Be Saved

..."Golden Dragon King, something terrible has happened!"

The Golden Dragon King had just returned from the Endless Sea and landed,

his butt hadn't even warmed his seat before the Silver Dragon King came looking for him.

"What's the matter?" The Golden Dragon King's heart tightened. "Could it be that something happened to Li Qingran? Was she killed in the end? We even gave her the Million-Year World Ring. If she still got killed with that, there's nothing we can do!"

The Golden Dragon King felt a mix of nervousness, fear, and a tiny bit of excitement.

As the pinnacle of combat power in the Canglan World, he and the Silver Dragon King had been living comfortable lives, occasionally fighting each other to stretch their limbs and not forget their skills.

Then suddenly, the Heavenly Dao and White Sword from the Cangyun Realm barged in, beating them up like dogs without a second word.

Who could withstand that?

While being beaten, the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings naturally submitted.

But after the beating, they still had to face so many tasks,

and had to run around serving an ant...

When they had free time, they couldn't help but get angrier the more they thought about it.

Recently, White Sword and the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao hadn't been paying attention to the situation in the Canglan World.

Their rebellious mentality naturally swelled even more—and this mindset reached its peak when stimulated by Li Qingran actively breaking the rules and demanding they obtain the Million-Year World Ring in advance.

The Gold and Silver Dragon Kings believed that Li Qingran was probably just a junior sent from the Cangyun Realm for training. She might have some mysterious background, but her importance definitely couldn't compare to the gods of the Canglan World and the two of them, the Dragon Kings.

After all, it would take Li Qingran a long time to grow into combat power.

While the gods of Canglan and the two Dragon Kings were high-end combat forces that could be directly deployed for battle.

Didn't White Sword say there would be a great war erupting from the fusion of two worlds later?

And even dangled the carrot of sharing resources with them.

Naturally, readily available high-end combat power was better. Anyone with half a brain would think the same.

So, after the two Dragon Kings put their heads together, they became less attentive towards Li Qingran.

They would complete the tasks assigned by White Sword and the Cangyun Heavenly Dao.

But they wouldn't guarantee anything else.

In fact, the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings hoped this troublesome Li Qingran would completely disappear from the Canglan World.

Of course, this disappearance couldn't be directly caused by them. It had to be reasonable, leaving no fault for White Sword and the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao to pick on. Even if White Sword flew into a rage over Li Qingran's death, he wouldn't go so far as to execute the two Dragon Kings.

That's why the Golden Dragon King had such complex emotions at this moment.

However, the Silver Dragon King kept shaking his head.

"No, it's not Li Qingran who's in trouble, it's our Son of the Realm! He's turned to the dark side!"

"Son of the Realm?" The Golden Dragon King was stunned, then realized. "Tang Er, Tang Ritian's son? How did he turn to the dark side? Wasn't that World Beast girl rescued? Shouldn't he be lying low now to oppose the Battle Soul Hall?"

The Silver Dragon King fell silent for a moment, then said, "His father is dead."

Golden Dragon King: "..."

"Huh? Tang Ritian is dead? How could he die? He's a Peak Battle Master, who could kill him?"

Silver Dragon King: "Li Qingran killed him."

Golden Dragon King: "..."

It's that hot potato again.

But, how could Li Qingran kill Tang Ritian?

Just with one Million-Year World Ring—forget whether she might explode from absorbing it—and besides, the Ancient Mountain-Sea Whale wasn't sacrificed willingly, its soul is attached to the World Ring. Whether Li Qingran can even defeat the Ancient Mountain-Sea Whale's vengeful spirit is a question.

Even if she could defeat it, absorbing the World Ring takes time, right? For a ring like a million-year one, absorption takes at least half a year, even a full year.

Li Qingran isn't a god!

"Tell me the details of what happened." The Golden Dragon King decided to first understand the cause and effect.

"That Li Qingran also has a Battle Soul, right? A Humanoid Battle Soul."

The Silver Dragon King carefully said, "We didn't think much of that Humanoid Battle Soul's identity at the time. Now we know that Humanoid Battle Soul is her husband. That person is from the Cangyun Realm. We just don't know how he became a Battle Soul..."

Humanoid Battle Soul.

The Golden Dragon King's expression turned grave.

He and the Silver Dragon King had almost mastered all the rules of the Canglan World, yet they still couldn't create a Humanoid Battle Soul.

That almost certainly meant this Humanoid Battle Soul was a product of the Cangyun Realm's rule power, as the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao level is indeed above the Canglan Realm's.

Such an anomaly meant this Humanoid Battle Soul was definitely not simple.

Sure enough, the Silver Dragon King continued, "That Humanoid Battle Soul erased the Ancient Mountain-Sea Whale's soul in just one breath. He used the next breath to fuse with the World Ring and unleash his power, and the third breath to send Tang Ritian flying.

Peak Battle Master Tang Ritian was like a toy in his hands. Then he chased him down and killed Tang Ritian with a single sword strike. I wanted to stop him, but it was too late."

"No wonder Tang Er turned to the dark side."

The Golden Dragon King sighed.

Originally, according to the set script, Tang Er's turn to the dark side should have been related to Little Rabbit.

But that wouldn't really be turning to the dark side; it should be a form of growth.

Without such stimulation, how could one become a true powerhouse?

But now a variable has appeared. Tang Er clearly hasn't grown to the point where he can accept a loved one dying violently before his eyes. Moreover, he had just met and reunited with his father, and within a few hours, *snap*, he was dead right there.

No buffer at all.

However, this is a minor issue.

"Revive his father." The Golden Dragon King said calmly. "Fabricate a suitable reason, a fortuitous encounter or something... Send his dad back!"

"Send... can't send him." The Silver Dragon King shrank his neck.

"Why not?" The Golden Dragon King raised an eyebrow.

"Soul scattered, cannot enter the Cycle of Reincarnation." The Silver Dragon King shrank his neck further and whispered, "The sword art that Battle Soul used transcends the rules of our Canglan Realm... Tang Ritian's soul was disintegrated. He can't be saved..."

The Golden Dragon King was dumbfounded.

Isn't that a disaster?

The Son of the Realm has turned to the dark side and lost control. If something happens to him, what about the Destiny Energy needed for the Canglan World to continue?

Right now, it's all riding on Tang Er!

The importance of a Son of the Realm to a world goes without saying. The continuation and strengthening of a world requires individuals blessed with great Destiny Energy to lead.

Some worlds without a 'Son of the Realm' blessed with great Destiny Energy can only 'borrow' from other worlds. This is the origin of Transgressors.

And Tang Er happens to be a Child of Destiny that the Canglan World's will 'borrowed' from another world.

As for whether they'll pay it back later, that depends on whether the world after the crossing has enough appeal for the Child of Destiny.

Many worlds on the brink of destruction often rely on just one Son of the Realm to turn the tables.

Although the Canglan World isn't a world on the brink of destruction, as the managers of the Canglan World, the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings naturally hope the Canglan World grows stronger and stronger, with more and more chess pieces like Tang Er, these Sons of the Realm, under their command.

"Is there any solution?" The Silver Dragon King cautiously asked.

This situation was also a first.

In the past, they wrote the scripts influencing the entire worldline's development. Situations jumping out of the development simply wouldn't occur.

But it seems that ever since Li Qingran joined the Canglan World, everything has gone wrong.

"There are two solutions..." The Golden Dragon King said with a grave expression:

"Either, help the Son of the Realm resolve the cause of his turn to the dark side himself... Or, we can only replace the Son of the Realm."
