Rebirth In Against The Gods With The Ultimate System 95 Chapter 95: Endless Plains

After escaping from Cang Yue, Yun Che ended up in the cave of the Dragon G.o.d Trial. The cave wasn't that much according to the original story.

"Man, this wasn't what I expect from the original story. Still better than I imagined." He remembered it last time he had to bring Little Fairy here after she was crippled by the dragon. In the end, his relentless to protect her increased the difficulty of the trial and thus almost claiming his life. Too bad he has the 'plot armor' that protects him.

As he was walking, Jasmine's voice suddenly rang in his head. "You're a lecher. You know that right?"

"Ehh?"

"Taking advantage on a woman like that. Good thing I was the only one watching your behavior."

Yun Che rubs the back of his head before started to laugh. "Ara, busted. Can't say anything about that though."

Jasmine suddenly hissed at him but her tone wasn't more on hissing, he can detect a slight tint of jealousy in it. "Hmph, women kept getting into your lives. Probably better if you had just one and focus on her?"

Yun Che pulls a deep breath and said "If you were in my previous world, I might do that though. But, for some reason. I can't reject these women. By the way, I am not accepting any women that comes to me. It all comes to you and Retsu. Don't worry, I can sense if the woman had any bad intentions or taking advantage of me. Besides, Retsu liked her and you didn't say anything right?" As for the women of this world. He already knew his original targets but he sometimes thought about other targets as well. This world is vast and sometimes his adventures might take him somewhere unexpected and meet new girls rather than the original ones. Probably the best if he let nature run its course. This is the new world he is reincarnate to, there's no need to stick to the old rules.

Jasmine had a tinge of red on her face. She admit that she didn't detect any malicious intent came from Little Fairy and Cang Yue. "Hmph, this princess doesn't meddle with the lives of mortals."

"But, I am not a mortal remember? I am a G.o.d with strength of a mortal."

"A G.o.d doesn't have the strength of a mortal. In my eyes, you're still a mortal."

"All right-all right. Back to the issue, I feel that these women have close ties with my life. Be it Cang Yue, Little Fairy or even you. I can't leave them behind. Even if reject them, it kind of leave a sore spot in my heart."

Jasmine started to blush when he said her name was one of the women he cared about. The funny thing is she didn't resist or snarl back at him. "Hmph, In the end, you're still a lecher."

"Hey now, I didn't make a move on them right? Besides, you're even nicer compared to before."

Jasmine started to widen her eyes and ask "Nicer??, how am I nicer to you?"

"Well, you didn't yell to me as much as before. You didn't resist when I pat your head and sometimes you didn't even treat me and Retsu like a disciple or someone beneath you."

Jasmine turned her head hiding her healthy blush and said "Hmph, that's because you're this princess's disciple. It's only natural that I treated you like that." She started to remember all her traits with him for the past few months. He was right. She didn't treat him like a disciple at all. She was treating him like a friend or maybe someone important to her. She did declared to Retsu that she won't let Yun Che committing the same mistake as her brother. She started to wonder, is she started to get attached to him?

Yun Che sighs and replied "I am sure masters treated disciples' way worse than that. So, if you're nicer to me. Does that mean, I've gained your approval?"

"Hmph, you and your words." She didn't give him an answer but he just smiled at it. Sometimes, the answer was obvious only he needed to be sharper to understand.

"Where is that trial zone? I am sure the original me didn't go this far." Yun Che just smile as he descends deeper into the cave as he walks into the darkness. All of a sudden…

*Knock

"Ouch!!!, What in the…?" He extends his hand forward as the other one rubs his head. He suddenly felt a flat surface in front of him. Not the kind of surface he can find in a cave. He slowly touches the surface and slide his hand on it.

"What is this? A barrier or a wall?" It wasn't long until he heard a familiar sound from the system.

[Ding…. Host has encountered the Trial of the Dragon G.o.d. It is recommended that host finished his outside matters before entering this kind of trial. Please be warned that only death awaits those who failed the test. Are you sure you're ready to undertake the trial?]

"So this is the trial? Since I am here, might as well go nuts." He remembered that this trial is the test of strength and probably need some backup later on. But first, "By the way, Jasmine?"

"What is it?" Jasmine suddenly replied after went quiet for a moment.

"This is time, not matter what happen. Can you stay in the inner world? You didn't have to come out like in the Phoenix Trial."

"Hmm? Why should I do that?"

"Well, the thing is…." Yun Che started to explain to her about the difficulty of the trial based on the system. He also told her that the trial difficulty will be stronger if another person enters with him. Besides, his strength is already at the pinnacle of Sky Profound Realm and all the trial will be set at that level. If he Jasmine entered the trial with him, the difficulty will increase.

"Hoo, so that's how it is. I understand." Jasmine slowly said while lowering her voice. But unaware to Yun Che, she was slowly shows her sinister smile.

"Thank you. Now I can face the trial without any difficulties." As he said that, he presses the b.u.t.ton [Yes] on the system's interface. With that, the barrier blocked the path further disappears before a voice entered his mind.

"At last, a challenger appears after 1000 years of waiting. You seem to be a decent mortal to inherit my legacy. What makes you worthy of receiving this legacy? I warned you only death comes to those who fail. I only seek a successor and only a successor. What makes you worthy mortal?"

"Are these spirits only speak with intimidating tone? Do they know intimidation doesn't work on me?" He slowly said in his mind after sweat dropping at the Dragon Spirit's tone.

"Well, I seek to challenge the trial. I think I am worthy."

"Hmph, every 129 mortals challenge this trial said the same thing. All of them meet the same ending in the trial ground. Death." The voice seems tried to scare Yun Che into giving up but those words never exist in his dictionary.

"Too bad I am different from those mortals."

The voice of the spirit was quiet for a while before sounded again. "Hmph, you are indeed strange mortal. You were able to resist the Dragon G.o.d's aura with ease. Those 129 challengers reached this part of the cave with absolute difficulty before died in the first part of the trial but you did it with ease. Tell me, mortal. Who are you?"

Yun Che put on his relaxed and smug face. "I am Yun Che. ..I am just a wandering cultivator."

"Strange, with my divine aura. I can detect the cultivation of the challengers with ease but I simply can't detect yours. What is your current cultivation, mortal?" The spirit asked him.

"Pinnacle of Sky Profound Realm. I cultivate different form of energy so my cultivation isn't easily distinguished."

"For a Divine Spirit like me unable to distinguished such energy. Tell me mortal, what is this energy?"

"Spirit Force." He replied with a relaxed expression. He was about to say 'Reaitsu' but his energy merged with profound energy and evolved into a new type of energy.

"Spirit Force, I could find any records contain such energy from my memories. Hmph, It's been a while such a human able to cultivate differently compared to others. I am impressed. Still, you have to undertake the trial to win my approval." All of a sudden, Yun Che's body was enveloped in a streak of light and carried him into a different dimension. He appeared on a flat surface bottom first before rubbing his head.

"Chee, that was 'fun'. He said sarcastically. This is the second time he was flung into a different dimension by the primordial spirits. The first one was the Phoenix and now this Dragon. He slowly opened his eyes.

"Where am I?" When he opened his eyes, the first thing that greeted him was the star covered the entire sky as if it was nightfall. Out of curiosity, he started to look around him and he noticed that he is on a circular stage like an arena as he can see the edge of it.

He slowly stood up and walked towards the edge and what greeted him next was arena the stood on was way up in the air and it wasn't floating or anything. He was on top of a tower. A cylinder based tower to be exact. At the bottom of the tower was full of rocks and gra.s.s as far as the eye can see.

Yun Che started to put his right hand above his eyes. "Hooo, this place is awesome. Too bad this place will turn into a wasteland if I go full power." As he was enjoying the view from the top of the tower. Streaks of light suddenly came from the starry skies above him and slowly formed itself into a giant blue dragon complete with legs and tail. The body was covered with blue scales all over the body. The dragon's size was ma.s.sive enough to to cover the entire tower. When he looked closely at it, the dragon really resembles the Azure Dragon from the fantasy pictures from the internet but this time he was looking at the real one. He admit that he was impressed.

The Azure Dragon was bursting with blue flames as it stared Yun Che from above at the same time released the aura of the Primordial Dragon G.o.d. Which Yun Che ignored entirely. The floating dragon started to open its mouth and spoke "Hmph, Welcome mortal. I am the Primordial Azure Dragon."

Yun Che then slowly replied as he noticed something. "Wait, you're not the spirit of from the cave just now?"

"Hmph, that spirit is just the spirit I left at the cave to greet the challengers but normally the spirit usually supervised the trial. But this time, I decided to personally witness your trial."

Yun Che widen his eyes. "Wait, what? Why?"

"Your aura and soul doesn't resemble a mortal. It was more of a 'G.o.d'. That's why I came out to witness and examine you closely." The Azure Dragon examined him closely again before spoke "Tell me mortal, who are you?"

Yun Che was about to fabricate a story but since this Azure Dragon will dissipates itself unlike the Phoenix Spirit so he decided to be truthful to it. "Sigh, I am Yun Che. A s.h.i.+nigami."

The Azure Dragon widen its eyes before saying "s.h.i.+nigami? Do enlighten me."

Yun Che simply puts his hand in his coat's pocket. "I am a Death G.o.d or a Soul Reaper. But right now, I don't have the strength of a G.o.d but a G.o.d none the less. Then again, I don't have a responsibility of a Death G.o.d anymore. So I am cultivating like a mortal to obtain true G.o.dhood."

"Impressive, a living G.o.d in a mortal body. I have seen a lot of things but this is the first time I've seen a G.o.d cultivating to be a true G.o.d."

"Rare indeed. So, the same as the phoenix from before. Looks like primordial beings like you two easily detected the quality of my soul."

"Of course we can. We were once G.o.ds and it seems that you've met the Phoenix?"

Yun Che conjured a phoenix flame with his finger. "Yeah. I pa.s.sed its trial and obtain its soul."

"No wonder the phoenix gave you its approval but that doesn't mean I am going to give you just like that. You maybe have the soul of a G.o.d but you are still a challenger. You have to pa.s.s the trial like all those challengers." The Azure Dragon said to him.

Yun Che merely shrugged his shoulders. "I was planning to. What is this place?"

"I created this place to test the worthiness of the true inheritor of my powers. The Dragon G.o.d Legacy is the legacy left behind by the me. Just like most True G.o.ds, they pa.s.sed down their power through their bloodline."

"So, are you like the Primordial Phoenix?"

"Hmph, don't compare the this dragon with the Phoenix. The Dragon G.o.d is the sovereign of all beasts and looks down upon the world with pride. The Dragon G.o.d's bloodline, absolutely would never be granted to any ordinary person. Only a supreme being who possesses enough talent and willpower to become the ruler of heaven and earth, can be qualified to bear the Dragon G.o.d's bloodline."

"You on the other hand happened to pa.s.sed the pressurized cave with ease and this I can see you are worthy enough to undertake the trial. Welcome to the Dragon G.o.d Trial Zone. Reaper. In this place, you will be tested in three different types of trial." Since the dragon knew about him being a soul reaper, the Azure Dragon now calls him a reaper instead of a mortal.

Yun Che smashed his hand to his palm. "Yosh, I am going to ace this test with a full course. Hey Azure Dragon, what's the first trial?"

The dragon expected him to be anxious, but seeing him suddenly this excited. "Hoo,The first trial will be the 'Stone Dragon Warriors'. In this trial you will face ten waves of stone dragon warriors. After you pa.s.sed the first wave, the warriors will be multiplied by two and so on. To begin, jump to the bottom of the tower."

As he was preparing himself, a notification suddenly pops in front of him.

[Ding…. Main Story Mission Triggered – Find and enter the Dragon G.o.d Trial (Complete)]

[Ding… Main Story Mission Triggered (Phase 2) - Pa.s.sed the First Dragon Trial – (Stone Dragon Warrior)

Survive all ten waves of stone dragon warriors.

Hidden Objective: ???? Reward: Dragon G.o.d Crystal Fragment Difficulty: Expert]

"Since your strength is at the Pinnacle of Sky Profound Realm. Your opponents will be at the same strength as you." The Azure Dragon rea.s.sured him.

"h.e.l.l yeah, now I can face this trial without worrying about something." Yun Che was about to summon his Zanpakuto when he heard Jasmine's voice started to sound in the air. "Or so you thought."

As soon as she said that, a streak of light emerged from his body and landed next to him.

He widen his eyes and shouted "Jasmine?!??!"

"Hmph, you think this princess is going to let you shoulder the weak part of the trial? Oh sorry, if you wanted to pa.s.sed this trial. You must absolutely go for the highest difficulty."

Yun Che gritted his teeth and said "Jasmine, you planned this aren't you?"

"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about."

The Azure Dragon slowly lower its head to take a better look at Jasmine. "Hoo, you are… Hmph, never expected this spirit will meet one of the Heavenly Star G.o.d successor in this trial." The dragon detected Jasmine's aura was a divine soul but her soul power can easily suppressed it just like how she suppressed the Phoenix's spirit. Just like Yun Che, they have the soul of a G.o.d but they don't have the strength to back it up. Jasmine might not have the cultivation but her soul power wasn't affected by the system. So outside the inner world, she can easily suppressed the spirit if she wants to.

Jasmine shrugged her shoulders and said "Hmph, this princess doesn't interfere with his trial. I am here merely to guide this idiot disciple of mine."

The Azure Dragon widen its eyes looking at her. "A Star G.o.d successor training a mortal Death G.o.d? Amusing, Very well."

"This princess wanted to ask, is it true that this trial's difficulty will increase the moment the challenger bringing any helper?" Jasmine asked the Azure Dragon.

"Yes" Replied the Azure Dragon.

"Then, since this princess is here. Can you increase the difficulty to the highest level? This princess will not interfere with his trial and simply here to observed."

Yun Che widen his eyes at her statement."Jasmine?!?!"

"Hmph, this dragon was planning to. The current level is for mortals but increase it to level more fitting for you. The trial difficulty level will increase. The first wave of the stone dragon warrior's profound strength will be increased by two smaller realms for each wave. This tower will be isolated from the arena below until you pa.s.sed the test. So, don't even think of getting even a small break as the stone dragon warriors will attack you relentlessly."

[Ding... Difficulty has been increased. New difficulty updated: Suicidal]

Yun Che fell on fours while being depressed. Jasmine increased the difficulty and didn't give him the time of his life. "d.a.m.n, I was hoping to take it easy. Looks like you really wanted me dead huh?"

"Hmph, I wanted for you to go full power and face this trial accordingly. Why don't you challenge something stronger this time? I thought you were looking for a challenge?"

Yun Che was back on his feet. "Sigh, There's no escaping this time. So what about you? I don't want the stone dragon warriors to attack you all of a sudden." He suddenly remembered that the original him had to protect Little Fairy 24/7 against the first and second trial. Which he successfully did it.

"You don't have to worry about me. From the moment you start the trial, this place will be isolated until you pa.s.sed the trial. So I will be here observing you but I am not going to interfere." Jasmine heard everything from the dragon. So she decided to stay on top of the tower observing Yun Che fight those things.

Yun Che just sighs and said "Jasmine, you have a grudge with me or something?"

"Hmph, this princess is going to teach you a lesson for teasing me. By the way, which Zanpakuto are going to use?"

"Since this is a group fight, I might as well go with Zabimaru but as for the second trial. I guess I'll go back to Zangetsu." Yun Che slowly pulls out a katana from the inner world before unsheathing it. Then he slowly slides the blade before it slowly transformed itself into segmented blades of Zabimaru. Good thing he's already set Zabimaru as default before entering this place.

Jasmine smirks at him. "You seem confident pa.s.sing the first trial."

Yun Che gave her a smirk as well before jumping from the tower holding Zabimaru on his side. As he was jumping, his clothes slowly changed into his usual s.h.i.+hakushou. Since Jasmine gave him the highest difficulty, he'll better do his best. Besides, this difficulty allow him to be his strongest state. He promised to give the Azure Dragon and Jasmine a big show later. "Well, well. Shall we begin?"
