Chapter 227 The Netherworld Returns (Part 1)

After contacting Xiaocaozi Zhang Jia and Chen Ming, Jane drew a summoning magic circle on the ground.

Mieying stared blankly at the magic circle, then looked up and asked Huasheng, "Are you sure you want to summon Mingyou?"

Hua Sheng guessed what she was thinking and said, "It will only take a short while to save people."

As soon as Mie Ying turned around, he was wearing a white T-shirt. Hua Sheng saw that there were four words written on the back of the shirt: "Get to the bottom of this!"
"What do you mean by wearing this?" Hua Sheng asked. "What do you mean, 'get clear'?"

He walked up to the front of Mie Ying and saw a line of words on the front of her clothes: "This young lady is the female lead!"

Hua Sheng frowned and asked, "What is all this nonsense?"

Mie Ying glanced to the other side, and mumbled through clenched teeth, "N-nothing... I was just asserting my dominance..."

"What sovereignty? Where do you plan to hold a sit-in protest?"

"Mind your own business!!" Mie Ying turned his head with a murderous look on his face, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Hua Sheng immediately understood and obediently shut his mouth.

At that spot, Jane seemed to have finished her preparations. As she walked in, she happened to see Hua Sheng and Mieying bickering. She casually asked, "Is this Mingyou a pretty girl? Her name sounds rather..."

"Hmph! You witch!" Miexiang, feeling like her tail had been stepped on, puffed out her cheeks and said, "How do you know she's pretty? Did you calculate it with a crystal ball? Stop rambling! Let's get down to business!"

Jane stuck out her tongue and said slowly, seemingly unintentionally, "Now that you mention it, I understand the situation better..."

Mie Ying's eyes widened, and he cursed, "What do you mean by 'see clearly'? You should have heard what I said clearly!!"

Seeing this, Jane had no choice but to quickly walk back to the magic circle. After adjusting her breathing, she raised the Star Rainbow Codex and drew a magic spell on the image connecting Zhang Jia and Chen Ming in mid-air. She said, "Please hold hands as the two of you who are the magical bridge, and recite these summoning spells with me."

On the other side of the screen, lines of text immediately appeared on Zhang Jia's computer. Upon seeing this, Zhang Jia sat up straight and replied, "Okay, sister, we're ready!"

At the same moment, the two places in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres are connected. Little Strawberry Zhang Jia and Chen Ming hold hands in front of the screen and recite together with the magician Jane:
"The supreme god of destiny,"

Please guide us through the past and the future.

Get the listener to respond to the call.

Let old memories remain as clear as ever.

Stirring the strings of time,

"Bringing the netherworld to the mortal realm."

As soon as the incantation was finished, the magic circle on the ground suddenly sparked with several small sparks, like an electrical short circuit. Then the light from the magic circle slowly faded, finally dimming and disappearing completely, as if Jane had never drawn it at all.

The surrounding sounds gradually faded away, and suddenly the world became completely silent.

After waiting for a while, Hua Sheng still showed no signs of life.

He glanced at Jane, waited a while and, seeing that nothing had happened, leaned forward and asked, "Jane, is this a normal reaction? Is it okay or not?"

Jane frowned and shook her head. "I'm not sure. I've never summoned anything that's not in the code."

But at that moment, the image connecting the little strawberry in mid-air suddenly flashed and turned white.

Immediately, Zhang Jia's (Little Strawberry) voice rang out in the earphones, "Wow! Wow wow wow wow! My palms are glowing!!"

Seeing that she couldn't see anything on the screen, Hana quickly asked, "Little Strawberry, what's glowing?"

"The hands that Chen Ming and I were holding were glowing!! I..."

The call ended abruptly as soon as she finished speaking.

At this moment, Jin Fanyin's voice came through the earpiece intermittently, "Everyone, my computer and phone screens are working again, but the display... I don't understand... it's a woman..."

Just then, Jin Fanyin's call was also cut off.

Just when everything was unclear, Hua Sheng suddenly shouted, "Computing power! The equipment instability is because the computing power is changing!"

Just then, a drop of black ink appeared in the center of the snow-white image in front of them.

Then the black ink dissolved into a straight line extending in both directions, as if ink were flowing simultaneously from a high place to a low place. Then the line began to bend, branching and dissolving, like someone using a brush dipped in the ink to paint a watercolor painting in water.

The image shows a black gauze dress with two black ribbons extending from either side. Upon closer inspection, the dress transforms into the silhouette of a young girl.

Hua Sheng shouted at the girl's back, "Wei Yu! The dragon veins of Chang'an and Jinling are in danger..." A familiar voice of a girl came from the scene.

"Only I, Mingyou, am qualified to destroy this world."

At this moment, the girl's figure flew forward in the image, disappearing at the edge of the frame. Further on, she leaped into the display screen of a shop window across the street. Then her figure darted forward again, entering a passerby's phone screen, before disappearing onto a traffic light at a distant intersection. Finally, she vanished from everyone's sight.

The satellite image then captured two ultimate six-pointed star magic circles being pierced from the inside out by a black light, followed by thousands of black beams bursting out. It was as if the magic circles were covered in sharp spikes!
Immediately afterwards, the countless black spikes began to rotate counterclockwise, spinning faster and faster, instantly shredding the two incredibly powerful magic circles that spanned the Earth like a shredder!

The magic circle, like a shattered eggshell, began to collapse towards its center. The collapse accelerated until it became a single point. Then, it exploded violently, sending fragments of the barrier flying in all directions, countless pieces of the magic circle soaring into the universe.

But it wasn't over yet. At each corner of the six-pointed star magic circle, twelve magic points, separated by tens of thousands of miles, exploded simultaneously. The explosions, as the magic points shattered from bottom to top, resembled fireworks blooming at the same time, blossoming into twelve colorful and fantastical flowers!
The powerful magic array, painstakingly set up by Klin Magic Academy and amplified by global computing power, consisting of two six-pointed stars, which had once driven Hua Sheng and his companions to despair, did not last a second against Ming You.

No one could have imagined that all of this would collapse in an instant!

If viewers blink even once, they might be just as clueless as the magicians in the midst of it all.

Zhang Jia, nicknamed "Little Strawberry," was mesmerized by the spectacular scene captured by the satellite camera.

"How is this possible... How could there be such a Big Dipper jump? It wasn't just about luck passing through the twelve magic points on Earth, but rather twelve jumps of four hundred trillion trillion trillion, taking only 0.007 seconds."

She murmured, "It's like having all the satellite channels in the palm of your hand. It's so beautiful, so perfect, what... what kind of program is this?"

Before Little Strawberry could even react, a flash of light appeared before her eyes, and suddenly a girl dressed in black appeared.

The young woman had a slender waist, bright eyes like diamonds, and skin as white as jade on her neck and wrists. But what was even more impressive was her magnificent, cloud-like deep silver hair.

The girl's gaze was incredibly sharp, as if it could see through all the secrets of the world. Everyone in her presence felt a sense of fear, and dared not conceal anything.

Little Strawberry had never met the other person before, but she felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw their face. She couldn't figure out why, but she immediately found the answer in Chen Ming's words beside her.

"Little Strawberry, this older sister looks just like you!"

She stared in surprise at her sister, who looked remarkably like her.

Mingyou slowly walked up to Little Strawberry, knelt down on one knee, and said with her head bowed, "Mother of Super Intelligence, Zhang Jia, please forgive Mingyou for borrowing your appearance. This changed my destiny and is extremely important."

Little Strawberry gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar Darkness before her.

"Miss, why...why do you call me the Mother of Super Intelligence?"

Mingyou replied softly, "I have seen the future with super-intelligence that you have created; it comes from there."

What do you mean by "that place"?

Mingyou didn't answer, her expression pained. She then looked up at Little Strawberry, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

The surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point.

Chen Ming shivered and instinctively leaned forward to shield Zhang Jia. But Little Strawberry's expression didn't change at all; instead, she continued to ask, "Is the future pretty?"

Mingyou looked at Chen Ming, the boy holding the little strawberry's hand, and then at the tightly clasped hands. The murderous intent in Wei Yu's eyes vanished, and she slowly said:

"That future is beautiful."

Little Strawberry smiled happily, turned to Chen Ming and said, "Look! My sister said I changed the world. The world is becoming more and more beautiful. Luckily, I'm cured. Isn't it wonderful to be alive!"

Chen Ming nodded repeatedly.

Mingyou looked at the two of them and said gently, "It's very important that you walk together into the future."

As she spoke, she extended her right hand and drew a circle in the air with her fingers in a delicate, orchid-like gesture. A glittering talisman appeared within the circle. Mingyou held the talisman up to Little Strawberry.

The talisman was covered with many symbols, but the only two words Little Strawberry could understand were: "No Book".

She looked at Mingyou and asked, "What is this?"

Mingyou smiled faintly and said, "It's the ending. We must give this story an ending."

Little Strawberry asked in confusion, "Then when does the story begin?"

"When there is time, the story has already begun."
