Chapter 549 – Epilogueception (3) (Friday and Liu Yang)
= Friday / Dong Bai =
The empress duties drove Dong Bai nuts. Never in her wildest dream did she expect the job would be so busy to the point that she had to work from 4AM to 8PM.
More cultivators brought more trouble. Senseless killing and power abusing were everywhere, and Dong Bai was tired of keeping tabs on all civilians.
Dong Bai couldn't help but scold Tong every time that she found him slacking or mating with other concubines in the daytime.
Unfortunately, Tong was a sly pervert. He partook of Dong Bai and turning the activities into 3P or 4P, depending on which partner he was doing. Most of the time, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Lu Zhi, and other civil officers had to clean up the mess and the jobs, left behind by their empress and emperor.
Fortunately, Li Feihong was there to solve everything. Most of Dong Bai and Tong's tasks were shoved to this poor man.
After a year of pressure, Dong Bai finally rearranged and abolished some of her duties. Several superstitious traditional ceremonies were axed, but some creative ones remained. Half of the document jobs were assigned to power-hungry officials, who were fighting for influence, such as Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Ju Shou, Xun Yu, or Xu Shu.
Although this move was risky since they could wield too much authority, the same as the 10 eunuchs and emperor Ling, Dong Bai wasn't afraid of them. After all, Tong had the system in his control. The entire universe was his.
The men also understood this point. Moreover, everyone was busy finding faults of their rivals, so they were careful not to show a slight weakness to others.
The job handover went well. Dong Bai freed up 10-hour worth of daily work within one go.
She visited Tong and wanted to brag about it. But then, she realized that Tong only worked one hour a day for years since he came back from Lilim's dimension.
Getting angry by her lazy husband, Dong Bai assigned the rest of her remaining duties to him and forced him to work in the throne room. She forbade Tong from having outdoor sex with any concubine until he finished his daily work.
The trick worked like a charm. Aside from diplomacy meetings, ceremonies, or official visits, Tong finished 5 hours-worth of daily jobs within one hour every day so that he could get more time with his wives and families.
Dong Bai got the boon as she didn't have to work anymore. She also conspired with her mother, Medusa, to increase her night visit schedules.
In the end, she got the rare once-a-week tier with Tong. On the bed, Dong Bai was always the attacker, but she always passed out when Tong got serious.
For a thousand years, Dong Bai bore almost 1,200 children alone! She competed with Lilim, Liu Yang, and Diaochan to get the most number of kids, and she won by miles. She couldn't remember her children's names, though.
A side note, half of Dong Bai's children were cursed children. Tong bestowed Dong Bai [Private Dimension] skill to store these troublemakers, but Dong Bai refused.
She transferred all her children to Lilim's dimension. The monster gangs mixed in and played together, becoming the same family.
When the multi-dimensional gate opened, Dong Bai wanted to enter it right away, but she was stopped by Diaochan.
Tong, Dong Bai, and Diaochan confronted the outsider, a gigantic dragon that stood several kilometers tall. However, they didn't fight.
Tong and the dragon seemed to know each other, but Friday and Medusa didn't remember where they met. They asked Tong, but he never told them anything.
The dragon invited them to a higher dimension and participated in a big event, called [Heavenly Dragon Gathering Festival]. It explained complicated rules and rewards that Dong Bai got confused about.
Still, she remembered a few rewards that caught her attention.
Universe Administration System
It seemed that administrator authority was a commodity, and the higher beings were treating them as rewards.
Tong and Diaochan asked something about universe size, upgrades, karma, and stability assistance tools, but Dong Bai couldn't understand anything.
Dong Bai wasn't so fond of this [Higher Being Competition Event], so she advised Tong and Diaochan to turn the invitation down. Tong also agreed with her and turned it down.
Unfortunately, before Tong could hand over the invitation card back to the dragon, Diaochan took it and expressed that she wanted to join.
Dong Bai doubted her mother for a moment. For a second, her eyes looked malicious as if she wanted to kill someone. Dong Bai discovered later that the dragon relayed the news about Morning Star's fate to Diaochan, which angered her as well.
In the end, Tong, Li Feihong, Diaochan, Liu Yang, Sun Shangxiang, Zhang Min, and Zhang Ying followed after the outsider dragon into the dimensional rift.
Dong Bai stayed behind to take care of Tong's empire as usual.
But that day became Dong Bai's greatest nightmare. Many years later, she cursed herself from letting Tong and others attending the event. It wasn't something that they should have participated in.
Li Feihong, Medusa, Zhang Min, Zhang Ying, Sun Shangxiang, and Liu Yang returned with heavy injuries all over their bodies. However, Zhang Tong never returned.
Zhang Min cried as she told Dong Bai the sad news.
Zhang Tong had been killed by the creator!
…

= Liu Yang =
Aside from the usual once-a-week duty, Liu Yang's life was dull and boring.
Her strength boosted to 10 wings, but she got stuck there because of the oath she had with Medusa.
Since she had free time, Liu Yang tried to practice double cultivating by trying to awake a demon wing, as trained by Medusa.
One day, Liu Yang's doubt of Medusa's knowledge. The latter seemed to know something that nobody else knew. Thus, Liu Yang jested that Medusa was in the middle of transmigrating inception or an otherworlder of a higher dimension other than the Netherworld or some sort.
She got a reaction from Medusa. The latter sent a killing glare at Liu Yang before she retracted them.
Ever since then, Liu Yang was sure that Medusa hid a secret that no one knew about. She wanted to probe Medusa further, but she was concerned about Zhang Ying.
Medusa also warned Liu Yang once.
"Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. If you value Zhang Ying, stay out of my business."
It was a direct threat to Zhang Ying. Liu Yang got a scare that Medusa might kill her daughter, so she kept her distance from this former gorgon.
Still, Liu Yang kept the façade when Medusa and she were in front of others. They pretended to be a big warm family. But deep down inside, Liu Yang was wary of Diaochan, while the latter kept tabs on the former.
Nobody realized that cracks had divided Diaochan and Liu Yang.
After a thousand years of sexes and boring charade, Liu Yang bore 800 children for Tong. Unlike the demon mothers, all of her children could cultivate both angel and demon techniques.
Tong enrolled all of them in a special academy in Zhang Jiao's dimension. He also brought Liu Yang to live in that place and begged her not to leave here when the time came.
Tong's action was suspicious, so Liu Yang squeezed the info from him on the bed.
His tongue slipped and confessed his secret. A few years after he had returned to the world, an administrator from another dimension sent him a congratulatory message about his victory in this world. They also informed him about the upcoming [Heavenly Dragon Gathering Festival], which could benefit a newborn universe of his.
Tong also knew about the situation in Heaven as the sender was someone from a higher dimension.
Heaven, Hell, Netherworld, everything was gone. Nobody would pick them up from this universe anymore. From now on, they had to self-sustain.
However, the informant was kind enough to send info before the event had started. He wanted Tong and others to train and get ready for the festival, and he would come to this world to train Tong's subordinates personally.
Liu Yang doubted that it was a good idea since she wasn't sure if the informant was trustworthy. However, she couldn't utter a word about Medusa since she might be watching from afar.
In the end, Liu Yang didn't snitch Medusa.
When the dragon visited their dimension, Liu Yang tagged along with Tong and others to see what the higher dimension and what the festival looked like.
Curiosity kills the cat. Liu Yang regretted her decision.
The festival was as its name, a gathering of powerful dragons of various universes. All of them were administrators, entities, and strong dragons.
Tong and his friends stood out like a sore thumb since they came here as humanoid cultivators. All dragons mocked them and called them as [Non-Entities].
Liu Yang wanted to teach these monsters a lesson and was on the verge of challenging one of the dragons.
However, Medusa suddenly transformed into a giant snake, a gorgon dragon. She stood up for others and bickered with the offending dragons.
Enmity was in the air.
Before they started a fight, all of them were pulled into their seats, which was a small planet. Representatives from all universes were dragged into their perspective planets, which orbited around a blank silver star.
The grand emperor of all administrators and universes appeared and explained the rules of this festival. Each universe could send one representative at a time to contest for a prize.
The competition was like a mixture of a battle royale and an auction. The grand emperor would put a bait reward on a pedestal. Then, those universe admins who desired the prize would send one representative into the silver world within a minute after the prize was laid out. Only one final victor could claim the reward.
Tong and others didn't participate in any of the competitions at first since millions of dragons kept jumping into the planet. All the prizes were tempting, such as 20 digits years of lifespan, new admin system features, expanding universe size, karma severance tools, cultivation techniques, and absurd weapons that could destroy planets with one swing.
This was a contest between overlords from all universes. This place was not where they belonged!
Tong told everyone that they would not participate in any of the fights since there was no rule that they had to join one. Everyone agreed to stand aside and observe the festival.
The event lasted a few decades as some fight took longer than they had expected. A million of dragons died in the battles.
During this time, Tong and others pestered Medusa to explain her identity and situation.
Medusa patiently explained about her real identity…
…
Liu Yang, Tong, and others couldn't accept the truth. They bickered with Medusa for a while before they gave up.
After 50 years of watching idly, the festival was over. From that point on, it was a free challenge and betting. Any universe could challenge other universes, but the challenged could always decline without repercussion.
Unlike the real festival, everyone wasn't in the mood of fighting anymore as champions from various dimensions died.
Yet, one of the universes challenged Medusa.
It was a fairy dragon that came from the universe [Netherworld Heaven]. The challenger provoked Medusa that her father died pointlessly.
The dragon revealed herself as their [Creator]. She had imprisoned Morning Star's soul, killed all gods, and destroyed their Heaven and Hell. She staked a universe bet – The victor could claim the loser's universe.
The creator's move reeked [Trap] from a mile away. Yet, Medusa, Liu Yang, and Tong lost their cool when she mentioned that Morning Star was trash.
Everyone jumped into the fight since the creator challenged everyone in the universe.
… The result was a disaster. Tong died.
