Episode 123: I want to make this world restart once again!
『 Seeing that everyone else had already gotten their spirit swords, Wang Ling went to his parents and asked them, "Where did I put my sword?"
"Which sword?"
Then,
Wang Ling walked to the storage room, opened a box, and peered inside.
As a result, a white-haired little boy suddenly stood up inside and said in a deep voice, "It's been ten years, how have you been?"
But before he could finish,
Wang Ling slammed the lid of the box shut. 』

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Who was that little guy just now?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "A child, trapped in a box?" ]
[ Bai Xiaochun (A Will Eternal): "They said they were coming to find a sword earlier, could it be?" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Ah, yes, it's my spirit sword." ]
[ .....]
『 The next day,
Chen Chao and Guo Hao surrounded Wang Ling, staring wide-eyed at the peach wood sword in his hand, exclaiming one by one:
"Is this Junior Brother Wang Ling's spirit sword?"
"It's too small!"
"Even a child's spirit sword isn't this small!"
Sun Rong, however, said, "I think it's quite cute!"
Froggy 2 glanced at the peach wood sword, cold sweat breaking out, and thought, "This spiritual power is ridiculously strong."
On the school bus,
Wang Ling said to the little spirit in the sword with a straight face, "You'll scare ordinary cultivators if you come out. Don't show yourself tomorrow."
The sword spirit shook its head, indicating its displeasure.
Wang Ling took out a packet of crispy noodles and continued to negotiate, "Enduring for a hundred or so years is nothing to you, right?"
As soon as it saw the crispy noodles, the sword immediately nodded, "Mhm mhm!"
But,
Because he didn't report the situation in time, Wang Ling's body and the little spirit in the sword resonated, and he was also ambushed by Manager Xie's Great Test spell.
The sealing talismans on Wang Ling's body became ineffective.
A terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from within him,
Scaring Jiang Liuying, who was about to make a move, into running away.
At the same time, Wang Ling also used the opportunity to feign illness, planning to avoid the spirit sword competition. 』

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Escaping problems like this isn't a solution, is it?" ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Even if you can escape for a while, you can't escape forever." ]
[ Sun Rong(Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Brother Wang Ling, if you want to keep a low profile, then leave it all to me! Froggy 2 and I won't disappoint you!" ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Hai?" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I wasn't too concerned about these things to begin with." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "However, I still recommend that you conceal it a bit better." ]
[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "What do you mean by that? If you have power and don't use it, wouldn't it be a waste?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Exactly, exactly." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Like those few people before, what's the point of having ability and not using it?" ]
[ Fu Xuan (Honkai: Star Rail): "Since you've said that, you must have your own reasons." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "No, I've already mentioned before, he's a natural-born cheat. When playing games, what's the point of the experience if you come across a cheat?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "If the people on the sidelines don't feel involved, wouldn't it be dull?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Oh, right!" ]
[ Silver Wolf (Honkai: Star Rail): "That's a very good reason." ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Then, Brother Wang Ling, you should continue to hide it in the future, even if it's just on the surface." ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "..." ]
[ .....]
『 And after Wang Ling was successfully carried away,
He Bufeng flashed behind Sun Rong, a rose in his mouth, and said.
"Hey, Young Miss Sun, this flower is for you."
Sun Rong replied coldly.
"I don't know you. Why would I want your flower?"
He Bufeng put his arm around Sun Rong's shoulder and said, "Hmph, how amusing! President Tang invited me to deal with your Sixty Sect. If you accept this flower, I'll help you deal with the President and them, how about it?"
At this moment,
Chen Chao got angry, "Take your dirty hands off Sun Rong!"
However, what was unexpected was.
When Chen Chao swung a punch with all his might, he was bounced far away by the purple spiritual energy sphere around He Bufeng.
Guo Hao was surprised, "This spiritual pressure... Golden Core stage?"
After sending Chen Chao flying.
He Bufeng said again, "Young Miss Sun, I guess we're acquainted now, right?"
Sun Rong retorted, "What if I don't want to?"
He Bufeng said sarcastically, "Are you rejecting me?"
Before he could do anything.
Chen Chao, who had been sent flying earlier, charged at He Bufeng again.
As a result, He Bufeng retaliated, sending Chen Chao flying into the air with one punch, then followed up with several kicks,
This left Chen Chao no chance to counterattack.
"Tsk tsk, truly overestimating yourself. With such a difference in cultivation, you still dare to come knocking."
Chen Chao gritted his teeth and stood up, roaring, "Our Chen family has been a famous righteous sect for generations, taking the safety of the world as our responsibility. As people of the righteous path, when we see injustice, we will definitely lend a hand!"
"Whether it's evildoers from the demonic path or demonic sects, they must all be eliminated!"
He Bufeng's face was ferocious, "What a coincidence, what I like most is shattering the dreams of hot-blooded youths! I'll cripple one of your arms first!"
Before he finished speaking,
He Bufeng grabbed Chen Chao, who had rushed forward, and instantly dissolved Chen Chao's right arm with negative energy.
At the critical moment,
Wang Ling suddenly pushed the door open, hugged Chen Chao, and, in the blink of an eye, used advanced repair magic to restore Chen Chao's arm to its original state.
Finally, in this situation.
Wang Ling had no choice but to participate in this spirit sword competition; otherwise, his classmates might really be in mortal danger. 』

[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "These guys are really unlucky; they originally had nothing to do with it." ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "But because of their own actions, they brought a big problem upon themselves." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Is this what they call reaping what you sow?" ]
[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "Haha, exactly." ]
[ .....]
『 Not long after.
In the arena, Chen Chao met Isabella at the Gold Altar, Froggy 2 and Jiang Liuying, disguised as He Bufeng, faced off at the Earth Altar, while Sun Rong encountered Tang Erdan while occupying the Water Altar.
Coming to the Wood Altar,
Liang Fei was about to attack Wang Ling, but Guo Hao used his "words come true" ability to block the attack for Wang Ling.
"Brother Wang, I arrived just in time, didn't I?"
Liang Fei, however, scoffed, "No matter how many come, it's useless!"
"BOOM—!"
Guo Hao didn't say a word and directly engaged in a fight with Liang Fei in mid-air, a fierce battle ensuing.
As they fought,
Liang Fei walked up to Wang Ling and kicked him, cursing, "Useless trash, sit still for me, it'll be your turn to be dealt with soon!"
Hearing this,
Wang Ling feigned weakness and lay down on the ground.
Seeing Wang Ling being bullied,
Guo Hao activated "words come true" again and shouted, "Brother Wang, do you really want to be a piece of trash with only five combat power for the rest of your life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several large characters flew over from afar.
The words "piece of trash with only five combat power" whizzed towards Liang Fei.
"Where did you learn that new phrase?" Liang Fei asked in surprise.
Guo Hao shook his arm and replied, "You say my vocabulary is poor, but I just happen to have a belly full of grievances to vent on him! Sorry, Brother Wang!"
"Coward!"
"Underachiever!"
"Weakling!"
"Worthless A'dou!"
"Heartless man!"
"Irresponsible!"
"Plastic friendship!"
"Heart of stone!"
"Cold-blooded!"
"Cold and ruthless!"
"Poker face!"
"Ignores people!"
"Egocentric!"
"Anti-social!"
"Prioritizes romance over friends!"
Facing Guo Hao's barrage of complaints,
Wang Ling knew that the runes wouldn't last much longer, and he couldn't let any emotion show.
However, the more he suppressed it, the more he was misunderstood.
An unprecedented emotion surged in his heart, about to break through the seal.
This emotion was called,
[ AGGRIEVED! ]
At this moment,
The negative energy in Wang Ling's body suddenly erupted. Froggy 2, seeing this, quickly bit down, desperately absorbing the world-destroying energy.
"Croak, now I can only rely on myself to eat your negative energy!"
Wang Ling replied, "So, I can now let loose and use my spiritual power?"
"Croak, did you calculate me, my little ancestor? My capacity is limited, you have to be careful!"
Immediately after,
Froggy 2 directly transformed into a hood and wore it on Wang Ling's head. 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "My little ancestor, please be careful, my small body can't withstand too much energy." ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "What you say is useless, because that's the future me." ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I know, I'm just sad for my future self." ]
[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Such powerful strength, if utilized..." ]
[ Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): "What are you trying to do again, you guy?" ]
[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Just a hypothesis, that's another world, and I'm powerless (Otto helpless.jpg)" ]
[ Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): "Hmph." ]
[ .....]
『 At this moment. The familiar background music played once again.
Wang Ling walked to Liang Fei's side and merely touched Liang Fei's spirit sword with a single finger. The spirit sword disintegrated and collapsed instantly, like a sandcastle meeting a wave.
Then, he casually patted Liang Fei's body.
Liang Fei was as if hit by a heavy truck that suddenly rushed out from the side, and his entire body transformed into a meteor, flying out with a whoosh.
Witnessing Wang Ling send Liang Fei flying,
Guo Hao excitedly said, "Brother Wang, my efforts weren't in vain after all. I really talked you up into a master."
"Then, let's start our counterattack!"
Immediately after,
Because Wang Ling and Froggy 2, after merging, entered an invincible state,
Tang Erdan and the others didn't dare to confront Wang Ling head-on and could only choose to seize the other altars that Wang Ling hadn't occupied.
Soon, Sun Rong and Guo Hao directly confronted Tang Erdan and Liang Zheng, while Chen Chao and Jiang Liuying engaged in a fierce battle.
Finally, after Sun Rong sacrificed her sword spirit to Guo Hao's fire phoenix, she successfully defeated Tang Erdan and captured the Fire Altar.
After several twists and turns, Chen Chao conjured a golden arm with spiritual power,
Directly suppressing Jiang Liuying.
But...
Jiang Liuying had truly had enough of the inconveniences caused by her disguise. She suddenly tore off her disguise and roared, "I've really had enough! I'm going to make all of you finish!"
And on the other side,
Jiang Liuying knocked Chen Chao unconscious with one move and tied him to a tree at the Gold Altar.
But at this moment, Wang Ling and Froggy 2 separated,
Allowing Froggy 2 to occupy the Water Altar, while he himself quietly took the Wood Altar.
However, even though Wang Ling was steadily moving towards victory, Wang Papa's heart grew more and more anxious.
Because from childhood, Wang Ling was used to casting matters of winning and losing aside,
Whether it was feigning defeat,
Or inadvertently displaying his true strength,
It made no difference to Wang Ling.
In his heart, he had long stopped thinking about the meaning of life.
To him,
Everything was like fleeting clouds.
Although Wang Ling's inner world was tightly sealed, Sun Rong's enthusiasm still shone into this confined space like a faint glimmer of light.
Some things Sun Rong said on the Ferris wheel would make his cheeks flush,
And his heart would involuntarily quicken.
He didn't even realize that the glimmer of light had quietly turned into the warm sun of spring, about to ignite the flame in his heart.
When Wang Ling stood before the Earth Altar,
Just as he was about to insert his spirit sword into the altar,
That emotion in his heart began to stir again, becoming disobedient.
He tried hard to suppress it.
But in his heart, he longed for the scene where Chen Chao and Guo Hao would cheer around him after winning.
At that time, the progress bar for the Fifty-Ninth Sect had already climbed to 99%, and the Sixtieth Sect was also close to 96%.
He gritted his teeth and plunged the peach wood sword into the altar.
At this moment,
The more he tried to suppress it, the more that feeling bubbled up like boiling water.
In his mind,
The moment he hooked fingers with Sun Rong on the Ferris wheel replayed over and over again,
And the scene where Sun Rong fearlessly rescued him from the Nascent Soul old monster,
And the image of Sun Rong hugging him and saying, "We did it,"
Again and again,
Just as he was about to lose control and his hand was about to let go of the peach wood sword, Sun Rong's hand gently rested on his, and she smiled, "Wang Ling, you've worked hard."
Suddenly,
The irritation in his heart seemed to be locked by an iron chain, and his whole person became quiet again.
On the screen,
Sun Rong smiled and said, "Wang Ling, you look much better when you smile than when you have a straight face. Keep it up, no slacking!"
Wang Ling's face flushed, and he responded, "Mhm!"
But unexpectedly,
Jiang Liuying suddenly appeared behind Sun Rong, and with a burst of laughter, she slapped Sun Rong's soul out of her body.
"Goodbye, Sun Rong!" 』

[ ? ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I, I..." ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "This woman has no honor! She went ahead and launched a sneak attack!" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "He's truly despicable!" ]
[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "A treacherous fellow." ]
[ .....]
『 In the scene, facing this situation.
Wang Ling's eyes widened, unable to believe that Sun Rong had been harmed right before his eyes.
His tears streamed down uncontrollably,
Then, he roared, the iron chain that had been binding his emotions snapped, and the talisman on his neck was overwhelmed by the surging spiritual power.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!!!"
Wang Ling's eyes were bloodshot, and he punched Jiang Liuying.
In a critical moment, Froggy 2 suddenly rushed forward and unleashed the ultimate move of Time Freeze.
Then, in the very next instant.
Wang Ling suddenly broke free from the time stagnation and sent Jiang Liuying flying far away with a single punch.
Jiang Liuying, still reeling, smiled sinisterly:
"Hehehe, I never thought you were playing the pig to eat the tiger, secretly protecting Sun Rong, but unfortunately, she's doomed this time!"
Immediately after, Jiang Liuying released dark energy, attacking Wang Ling repeatedly, but was instantly sent flying by Wang Ling's punch.
Then, terrifying immortal power battered Jiang Liuying like a sandbag, leaving her utterly defenseless.
Accompanied by Wang Ling's red-eyed roar,
The entire earth trembled violently, and Jiang Liuying was knocked to the ground, unable to move.
"Hahaha, it seems you're as pathetic as I am. As long as you kill me, you'll be completely free!"
As these words came out,
Wang Ling's eyes seemed to conjure Sun Rong's smiling face.
He slowly calmed down, walked to Sun Rong's side, and performed the Great Restoration Art.
"How, how could it be useless!"
Froggy 2 replied, "Don't bother, that girl from the Shadow Stream is ruthless. One palm strike tore Young Miss Sun's soul into pieces!"
Wang Ling held Sun Rong, gently stroking her cheek, "But she's clearly still alive. As long as there's a way, she can definitely be saved!"
Froggy 2 comforted him, "Don't be silly. Lost lives aren't that easy to retrieve. The only reason she still has a breath left is because I've paused time. Once I lift the spell, Young Miss Sun will truly be beyond saving."
Wang Ling asked tearfully, "Is there no other way? I'm willing to exchange all my spiritual power for her life!"
"Don't be naive. An ordinary person can't withstand your spiritual power. The most I can do is keep time eternally stopped here to maintain her last breath. Otherwise, you can choose to return to your original world."
At this moment, scenes from the past flashed through Wang Ling's mind.
Soon, a determined expression appeared on his face.
"No, I choose neither of these! I want this world..."
"To restart again!" 』
