"I really... really want to walk with you all, but... I can't bear to watch the continent be ravaged by the power of the abyss."
"Qingling!"
"Sister Qingling, what are you doing!"
At this moment, Ning Rongrong and the other two girls' hearts were in their throats, filled with intense anxiety.
Although they didn't know what Qingling was going to do, their intuition told them that this was definitely not a good thing, not something beneficial for Qingling!
This scene was naturally seen by Shui Bing'er in the academy, who also shouted.
"Qingling!!!"
"Don't do anything foolish!"
No matter how the girls below exchanged glances, Chen Qingling was completely oblivious.
She then flew high into the sky, her wings blooming, dazzling and colorful.
Her eyes were red, tears welling up in Qingling's eyes. She
spread her arms, and a dazzling golden light shone from her entire body.
This was the Lament of the Butterfly Goddess!
The Lament of the Butterfly Goddess, also known as the Sacrifice of the Butterfly Goddess!
"May... we be sisters again in the next life." Chen Qingling closed her eyes, offering everything she had to the continent that she wanted to turn into a better place.
"No!"
Chen Qingling's Butterfly Goddess Sacrifice unleashed a power surpassing even the divine, sweeping across the continent.
It cleansed the evil in everyone's humanity and the hearts of the planes severely corrupted by the power of the abyss.
Yet, it could not cleanse the pain in the hearts of Ning Rongrong and the others.
At the same time, the miniature versions of the Goddess of Light butterflies scattered across the continent lost their radiance, gradually dimming.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing were shocked.
"How could this be..."
"How could this happen!"
"Qingling, you..."
Remembering Qingling's words that as long as she didn't die, the miniature versions of the Goddess of Light butterflies wouldn't dissipate.
Now, the miniature versions of the Goddess of Light butterflies had dissipated, didn't that mean Qingling had already died?
Thinking of this, the three women turned deathly pale, completely disoriented.
They never expected things to develop in this way!
Just then,
Chen Qingling's delicate body slowly descended from the sky, caught by Ning Rongrong and the other two women with lightning speed.
Seeing Chen Qingling's peaceful face, without a breath, their hearts leaped into their throats, their hearts breaking.
"Qingling...Qingling!! Don't scare us!"
"Qingling, wake up! Don't sleep, okay?"
No matter how the three girls called out, they couldn't rouse Chen Qingling.
Large tears streamed from Ning Rongrong and the other two girls' eyes.
"Qingling..."
Meanwhile, outside the Four Elements Academy,
everyone's senses were awakened, and they stood frozen in place.
"What's wrong with me?"
"We're saved!"
"Hahaha! This time, our Douluo Continent has won! A tiny Abyss Plane wants to conquer our continent? Dream on!"
"I wonder what happened during this time. Who do you think saved Douluo Continent?"
"I think... it's most likely Chen Qingling. I can't think of anyone else who could save the continent besides her."
"Chen Qingling is truly capable. Not only did she defeat the Abyss Plane, but she also saved us. She's a great hero. This immense kindness deserves to be remembered."
"One day, we must repay Chen Qingling's kindness."
Little did they know, they could never repay her.
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Council Hall.
Chen Xin seemed to sense something and suddenly stood up, his expression one of astonishment.
"What happened? Who touched the Goddess of Light Butterfly that my disciple gave me?"
How could it possibly dissipate?
Gu Rong's expression changed drastically. "Could there be a traitor in the sect?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression was complicated. He never expected that there would be a traitor in his sect.
While they were still mistakenly believing a traitor had sabotaged things, they hadn't considered the possibility of Chen Qingling's death.
It was simply because Chen Qingling's strength was top-tier on the continent; no one could rival her.
How could she possibly have perished!
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance and flew out of the council hall to patrol the sect's perimeter.
What they found there terrified them.
After a thorough search, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were shocked to discover that
there was no traitor within the sect; the Goddess of Light Butterfly had simply vanished.
This…this is impossible!
How could it happen without a reason!
Suddenly,
Chen Xin's pupils constricted slightly. "I remember…disciple said she would only vanish upon death."
"What a joke!" Gu Rong was the first to disbelieve.
Who was Chen Qingling? How could she
possibly have perished!
Moreover, just minutes ago, her disciple was judging Tang San and the other two; how could her disciple have died!
"Wait, you scoundrel, have you noticed that the Abyss Power is also gone?"
Only after Gu Rong's reminder did Chen Xin realize.
Logically, without the Goddess of Light Butterfly, the power of the Abyss should have fully invaded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
But…
not as they expected, there wasn't a trace of Abyss power in the air.
"Strange…"
"What happened? What's wrong with my disciple?"
"I'll leave to guard the sect, I'll be right back." Before Gu Rong could reply, Chen Xin stepped on the Seven Kill Sword and vanished into the sky in an instant.
"That guy… he's really fast."
"Disciple, please don't let anything happen to you!"
This scene was playing out where Chen Qingling had left the Goddess of Light Butterfly; no one believed the news that Chen Qingling had perished.
As Chen Qingling's father, Chen Shenge stared blankly at the scene displayed on the sky.
His daughter sacrificed herself?
Gone?!
Instantly, Chen Shenge's eyes reddened. "System!"
"Why didn't you issue a warning! Why!"
The system always issued warnings before, why not this time!
"What did she use?"
[Ding! The Tragedy of the Butterfly Goddess, also known as the Sacrifice of the Butterfly Goddess! Purifying the world's evil with one's own body!]
Hearing the heavenly voice in his mind, Chen Shenge remained silent for a long time.
"So..."
"So..."
Chen Shenge's eyes were filled with desolation, and he stumbled and collapsed to the ground.
"My daughter..."
"Just like that?"
"No, impossible!"
"System, you must have a way, right? How many points do you need? I can use them all, even if I run out, as long as you can save my daughter!"
Chen Qingling was his only flesh and blood, how could Chen Shenge, a middle-aged man, send off a young person!
However, the system did not respond.
Chen Shenge's face was gloomy, his eyes flickering with a faint light.
"I want to see for myself..."
"I don't believe my daughter is really dead."
Chen Shenge firmly believed her daughter wouldn't die, because if she really did, the system would definitely trigger a combo announcement.
But now there's nothing left; perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope?
...
The God Realm.
The five enforcers looked at each other, none of them breaking the momentary silence.
After a long while, the God of Destruction sighed softly.
"I never expected... that someone on Douluo Continent would have such courage, willing to sacrifice themselves for the continent, for all living beings."
"Our God Realm owes Chen Qingling a huge favor."
If it weren't for Chen Qingling's intervention, the God Realm would probably have had to bleed a little this time.
The God of Asura's face darkened, and he sneered, "Our divine realm owes her a favor? Destruction, you're joking."
"Don't forget Chen Qingling has another identity; she's the offspring of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena."
"She's a great enemy of our divine realm!"
The God of Kindness couldn't stand it anymore, "Asura, you're too extreme."
"No matter who she is, as long as she's willing to help the continent, she's a good person."
"Have you ever seen a good person willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the continent?"
"That's right!"
...
Four Elements Academy.
Ning Rongrong and the other two girls hugged Chen Qingling's delicate body, burying their faces in their hands and crying.
"Waaah...why are you so foolish...why!"
"Qingling...you promised to travel the continent with us, why did you break your promise, why!"
"We promised to be happy like at a celebration every day, Qingling, but you'll never be able to do that."
"Sister Qingling, you made a pinky promise with me, you can't go back on your word, get up!"
At this moment, people from the academy arrived one after another, and Shui Bing'er, who was quite close to Qingling, stepped forward.
"Qingling…"
Shui Bing'er's eyes welled with tears, clutching an ice flower in her hand, her face filled with sorrow.
"Qingling…you told me that flowers wither easily, so it's better to freeze them to preserve a fleeting moment of beauty…but I can't hold onto you, Qingling."
"What's the point?"
Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.
Chen Qingling was suddenly enveloped in a white cocoon, completely sealed off, making it impossible to see what was inside.
"Qingling!"
"Sister Qingling, please don't leave Xiaowu, okay?"
"Qingling, you must live, you can't abandon us!"
As the white cocoon grew thicker and thicker, Ning Rongrong and the other two girls' eyes were filled with reluctance.
This was the second time she had been cocooned.
But this time, an accident had occurred, leaving them unsure whether she would live or die.
After all, they had touched her up close, and she was just like a dead person.
"Rongrong…look at the people ahead."
Following Xiaowu's voice, a large group of people walked towards them.
These people didn't look fierce at all.
This immediately surprised Ning Rongrong and the other two girls.
They had heard Tang San and the others say something similar.
These people were all beyond saving!
Yet everyone before them had recovered completely!
What… what was going on?
Wait!
Could it be related to Qingling?
Yes, yes, it must be related to Qingling!
She saved the continent, saved those corrupted by evil in their hearts.
But she couldn't save them.
Ning Rongrong and the other two women were heartbroken, tears streaming down their faces.
"Is Chen Qingling here?"
"She is our great benefactor, the savior of the continent. Without her, we would probably continue to do evil!"
"Yes! Yes! If it weren't for Chen Qingling, we would still be fighting, and countless people would have died."
The crowd spoke passionately, oblivious to the strange behavior of Ning Rongrong and the other two women.
At this moment, one of the elders asked, "Why are you crying?"
His words interrupted their impassioned speech, and all eyes turned to Ning Rongrong and the other two women.
It was supposed to be a happy occasion, so why were they not happy at all, and even crying?
Had something happened?
"Um... if I may be so bold as to ask, what happened to you?"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "The great benefactor you're looking for..."
"She... she..."
"What happened to her?"
Everyone's hearts sank. Could it be that she paid a terrible price to save them?
And believe it or not, they were right.
"She's probably... probably gone... the white cocoon you see is Chen Qingling in disguise."
After saying that, Ning Rongrong deflated, her expression dejected.
"Ah?"
Everyone looked at each other, staring in disbelief at the white cocoon before them.
"This... this is our benefactor?"
"What exactly happened? I don't understand at all."
"To save you, Qingling sacrificed herself to save the greater good."
At this moment, a figure flew in from the distant horizon. It was none other than Jian Dao Chenxin, who had rushed over from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at full speed.
"Grandpa Sword!"
Chenxin nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around. He saw everyone, but he couldn't find any trace of Chen Qingling.
Then, he noticed the white cocoon beside Ning Rongrong and the other two women.
For a moment, his mind went blank.
After a long pause, Chen Xin asked, "Rongrong... what happened? Why is my disciple in a white cocoon again?"
Ning Rongrong lowered her head, unable to bear it any longer, and threw herself into Chen Xin's arms, wailing.
"Grandpa Sword, Qingling... Qingling is gone."
Chen Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he stumbled backward.
"This... this is impossible..."
"My disciple is unparalleled, she was always the one who killed the enemy, how could she die..."
"This is impossible."
"Grandpa Sword... Qingling did it to save the continent and to save those whose minds were controlled by the evil in their hearts..."
Chen Xin gasped, "Could it be like last time?"
"No, this time I held Qingling's body, she... she was no longer breathing."
Silence, a deathly silence.
No one present spoke, all bowing their heads to mourn Chen Qingling's death.
If it weren't for saving the continent, if it weren't for saving them!
Chen Qingling would never have died!
The group was so ashamed that they didn't know what to do.
"Then...didn't Qingling's father do anything?"
"In the past, whenever anything happened to my disciple, her father would always cover for her!"
"What exactly happened this time?"
The next second after Chen Xin asked this question, Chen Shenge arrived above the Four Elements Academy and saw his daughter, Bai Jian, with his own eyes. In
the blink of an eye, Chen Shenge was beside Bai Jian.
Seeing this, Chen Xin immediately raised the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.
He had never seen the person in front of him before, and who knows what bad intentions he might have for being so close to his disciple.
But Ning Rongrong and the other two girls had seen Chen Shenge before and recognized him at first glance.
"Uncle...Qingling, she..."
Chen Shenge didn't say a word, ignoring Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong, but gently pressed his forehead against Bai Jian.
He felt nothing.
It was as if she had evaporated into thin air.
Suppressing the pain in his heart, Chen Shenge gently stroked Bai Jian.
"May Lady Luck close her eyes thrice for you, so that your blood may forever flow, your journey may always be smooth, and your luck may always be exceptional."
With these words, Chen Shenge's eyes gleamed, and she turned to look at the group of people behind her.
"Please, everyone, do as you please."
Her calm words instilled fear in everyone present, increasing the pressure on them.
Immediately, the group left in a large swarm.
They came quickly, and they left quickly.
