The Way of the Extraordinary Night Watcher Chapter 179: Disgraced

After exiting the dungeon, Zhang Yuanqing did not return to reality, but appeared in The Way of the Extraordinary world, which resembled a cosmic galaxy.

Now, with his level, entering and exiting The Way of the Extraordinary is just a thought away.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his head, gazing at the infinite heights, his eyes emitting two golden beams, shooting towards the Dipper, where he saw the Evil Gods entrenched above The Way of the Extraordinary.

Some had three heads and eight arms, their bodies pitch black, coiled in the cosmos, with planets orbiting their massive forms like dust.

Some roamed the turbid, dark galactic river, occasionally revealing a section of their bodies, spanning the length of the solar system.

Some had no bodies, no physical form, but their mental will covered the galactic river, like high and mighty, invisible hyper-dimensional beings.

Some were like black holes of terrifying mass, devouring all matter, including light.

Some held scepters, wore robes, and resembled humans, but their faces were blurred, and they held a galaxy with completely chaotic and reversed physical rules in their hands.

Some were cosmic monsters whose forms spanned galaxies, their shapes constantly changing, with every conceivable form, whether humans could imagine it or not, visible on their bodies.

Sensing the attention of the Sun Lord, the Yin Gods each cast their gaze. In the next moment, Zhang Yuanqing heard chaotic, loud, ethereal roars in his ears. Silently, connections were established between them, and terrifying corruption descended in the form of rules through "eye contact".

Zhang Yuanqing's body began to distort, demonic patterns of bewitchment appeared on his skin, and turbid liquid flowed from the top of his head... But as a golden sun rose behind his head, all corruption was purified.

Through a brief "contact", Zhang Yuanqing saw the essence of these Yin Gods, knew their identities, and the authority they wielded.

They were: The Bewitching Succubus, The Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons.

The World Serpent, The Torch Dragon.

The Extraterrestrial Demon, The Void Monarch.

The Lord of All Demons, The Source of Aberrations.

The Inverter, Dionysus.

Eternal Night; Spirit of the Abyss.

According to Haotian Shangdi, the number of Yin Gods was far more than this. Some were relatively weak and did not have the qualifications to erode The Way of the Extraordinary, while others had fallen in the two God Wars.

"With the levels of these gods, destroying the Earth, let alone the galaxy, is just a snap of the fingers. If the Earth wasn't the largest dungeon in The Way of the Extraordinary, protected by the Sun, Moon, Stars, and the Godheads of the gods, it would have been crushed into dust by the Evil Gods long ago."

Zhang Yuanqing withdrew his gaze, no longer looking up at the starry sky, but instead looked into the depths of The Way of the Extraordinary.

His vision pierced through layers of darkness, and he saw the unopened Third District, which was shrouded in boundless chaos. With the characteristics of the Sun Lord, he could only see a giant tree covering the sky and the sun, standing in The Way of the Extraordinary world.

This giant divine tree was already dead. Filthy turbid liquid flowed from the trunk, and flames of destruction burned on it. Various rules of destruction eroded its remains, and the withered branches held up an equally desolate The Way of the Extraordinary world.

"Gotta disinfect it..." Zhang Yuanqing muttered.

However, this would have to wait until the Sun, Moon, and Stars returned to their positions and the Third District opened.

……

The Federation of Freedom.

As the golden sun disappeared, the reason that the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods had just regained collapsed and disintegrated bit by bit, and madness once again occupied the high ground.

At this moment, a crack opened in the clear, cloudless sky, and pure golden light shone out, transforming into a handsome young man with a golden sun mark between his eyebrows.

His skin was a deep, dark gold, and a warm, bright sun disk hung behind his head. It was none other than Zhang Yuanqing.

His arrival brought warmth to this land and reason and clarity to the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods.

The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods stared at Zhang Yuanqing and took seven or eight seconds to speak, "Yuanshi Tianzun... I didn't expect that the person who would become the Sun Lord in the end would be you!" With her level, she could naturally see Yuanshi Tianzun's current level. Zhang Yuanqing was expressionless, his voice grand and majestic: "You can also call me Demon Lord! As for you, should I call you Boreas, King of the Sky, or Thor?"

A deep male voice came from the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods: "Now, she and I are one! I remember that in the battle last year, the Demon Lord had already fallen, body and soul destroyed." Zhang Yuanqing did not explain, and said lightly: "I have my own means of resurrection. Even the Star Lord was deceived by me, let alone you."

"Wind and Thunder Twin Gods, I will now give you two choices. One is to be liberated by me, to eliminate hidden dangers for Order and for humanity. The other is to temporarily suppress your madness, and then it will depend on your own fate. Either one side actively sacrifices to fulfill the other, or you merge with each other to become a brand new soul."

The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods did not make a choice, but looked down at the small town that had been turned into ruins. After a moment of stunned silence, she asked in a complicated tone, "How long have I been mad? I have been in a state of confusion and sleep for some time, causing her to lose her sense of time. I don't know what year it is."

"Two months!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

Two months... The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods were a little surprised. In two months, Yuanshi Tianzun had gone from a Saint to the Sun Lord?

This was clearly beyond their expectations.

Zhang Yuanqing said slowly: "During your sleep, the Sun dungeon has already been opened, the Lunar Lord Ling Tuo has fallen, the Star Lord has betrayed Order and obtained the Lunar Source. I still have a battle with him..."

He briefly explained the Sun Contention War and the current situation. The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods examined him for a moment and said, "Whether it is me or Boreas, we both have strong desires for power. It is impossible to give up a level that has been cultivated for a century. Although you have become the Sun Lord, you may not be our opponent. But reason tells me that we should give up. We have brought too much disaster to humanity and Order. We are deeply sorry..."

She thought for a few seconds and said, "I choose the second option. I want to regain a brief moment of reason until the Sun, Moon, and Stars return to their positions. At that time, no matter what the outcome, I can accept it calmly."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly: "Thank you!"

The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods' meaning was very clear. They wanted to help Order fight against evil and do their part in the final battle.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and said in a grand and majestic voice: "Your madness is caused by the confrontation between two wills. This is something that even the sun cannot solve, because the essence of the problem is not corruption. I will leave a mark of the blazing sun in your sea of consciousness to balance the two wills. The price is that you will constantly endure the burning of the sun's divine power and be in constant pain."

"If, in the end, you are still unwilling to give way and fulfill the other, then I will use the Lunar Source to help you merge. This is the only solution I can think of."

The situation of the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods was very special. If it was just a simple case of two souls living in one body, Zhang Yuanqing could separate them now.

The problem with the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods was that their authorities had merged!

And their respective wills were inseparable from their own authorities.

Therefore, the only option was for the souls to merge, or for one side to actively "die" to fulfill the other.

"After the souls merge, your memories will interact with each other, and your personalities will merge with each other. There will be no primary or secondary distinction, but in the short term, your temperament will become very strange and will require a long period of adaptation and adjustment," Zhang Yuanqing said.

The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods were silent for a few seconds. "This is the best outcome."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and took a step to stand in front of the naked Boreas, placing his index finger on her forehead.

Golden light lit up on his fingertip, drawing a golden sun on her smooth forehead. A hint of pain flashed in the eyes of the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods, but she immediately suppressed it, raised her hand to grab a wisp of breeze, and transformed it into a green robe to drape over her graceful and tall body.

"I should return to Heavenly Punishment!" She nodded slightly and turned into lightning, streaking into the distance.

……

Ping Sheng District.

Room 402, in the living room.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader, who had recovered his memory, was experiencing a huge emotional storm.

Yuanshi Tianzun's real name was Zhang Yuanqing. Zhang Yuanqing disappeared at the same time as Lei Yibing four years ago, and according to his previous investigation, Lei Yibing was a The Way of the Extraordinary.

The official definition of his disappearance was "death in a The Way of the Extraordinary dungeon".

In other words, Lei Yibing obtained a character card and entered The Way of the Extraordinary during that disappearance four years ago.

His family thought he was missing, so they called the police.

But Lei Yibing, who had cleared the trial dungeon, returned to reality, so the disappearance case was withdrawn. Four years later, he died in the dungeon, and his family called the police again.

Although he didn't know why Lei Yibing's mother had been hypnotized, based on the current information, Yuanshi Tianzun also became a The Way of the Extraordinary like Lei Yibing four years ago.

However, this contradicted reality.

Yuanshi Tianzun became a The Way of the Extraordinary in April of last year.

"Strange, very strange!" The Pure Yang Sect Leader narrowed his eyes: "Yuanshi Tianzun's identity is problematic. He clearly became a The Way of the Extraordinary four years ago... With his talent, how could he have been unknown for four years? As long as I find out Yuanshi Tianzun's information in the real world, I will enter a loop. Perhaps, this is the secret of Yuanshi Tianzun's 'disappearance' for four years." The Pure Yang Sect Leader entered Aunt Zhou's dream again and obtained Zhang Yuanqing's family background and current address from her dream.

Then, he left the dream and turned into starlight, leaving Room 402.

The Pure Yang Sect Leader planned to remain calm and discuss the matter with the high-level members of Dark Night Rose. Yuanshi Tianzun might have a bigger secret, and he dared not act rashly before figuring out the situation, let alone kill this middle-aged woman.

If this woman died, it would inevitably alarm Yuanshi Tianzun, and that kid would be able to see his actions in the River of Destiny, thereby locking onto him.

Pretending that nothing had happened was the safest approach.

As the sun set, the family degenerate entered the password and opened the security door, seeing Chen Shu and her mother making dumplings at the dining table.

Both his sister and mother were wearing cool short sleeves and thin cotton pants, and his elderly father had even changed into a white undershirt that elderly people loved.

The air conditioner in the living room was blowing cold air.

"Oh, my dear sister, you have finally taken time out of your busy schedule to favor your poor parents and brother." The uncle tossed the hem of his burgundy suit and entered the living room.

Chen Shu glanced at him and turned her gaze towards the bedroom, saying:

"Yuanzi is back. He's in the room and said to go see him as soon as you get back."

The grandmother then complained: "The Spring Festival hasn't even passed yet, how can it be so hot? It's all caused by not protecting the environment. Every year, carbon emissions exceed the standard, causing global warming. I think humanity is not far from extinction."

"Mom, watch less self-media. Global warming won't warm up like this." Chen Shu vaguely guessed what was happening. When her son came back, she didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until he said, "After uncle comes back, let him go into the room,"

that Chen Shu understood that the Sun Lord Contention War had ended.

Combined with Yuanzi's tone and expression, she realized that her son, whom she had raised for twenty-two years, had finally taken that step.

But Yuanzi didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to ask.

That kind of pressure from the soul was something that even bloodline suppression couldn't overcome. At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing's voice came from the bedroom:

"Mom, come in with uncle."

Chen Shu subconsciously chose to obey, wiped the flour off her hands, and looked at her brother.

The uncle shrugged and took the lead in twisting the door open and entering the bedroom.

In the not-so-large, but very clean bedroom, the siblings saw Zhang Yuanqing, whose hair was like gold and whose skin was dark gold, standing by the window, facing away from the door.

Zhang Yuanqing did not turn around and said slowly: "I used to envy the Demon Lord, mock the Demon Lord, but never thought that one day, I would become the Demon Lord that I disdained."
