I would rather betray the gods

'Click'

The torrent below grew increasingly turbulent, and the Dragon Platform, having lost some structural support, suddenly shook violently.

Green Pepper steadied herself, her eyes showing no fear, then held her phone close to the paper. "Come on, take a look at my thoughts. If you think they're acceptable, help me ward off the natural disaster!"

The scroll lit up and "sucked" in the phone's data.

Immediately afterwards, paragraphs of text began to appear on the previously blank paper, containing Qingjiao's usual thoughts on the way to govern the world.

For some reason, Green Pepper had a feeling that every time a passage of writing appeared on the scroll, it was a recognition of his ideas by the [Unprinted Heavenly Book].

Finally, the exam paper was filled with outlines and subsections.

The book is finished.

At that very moment, the reel emitted a blinding light, illuminating the green pepper's eyes.

For a fleeting moment, Green Pepper showed a look of surprise.

After the light shone through, Green Pepper's expression subtly changed, his eyes revealing an unprecedented composure.

He gently tossed the scroll down from the dragon platform, uttering a single word: "Block."

As the scroll fell, it grew longer and larger, eventually stretching across the riverbank like a long dike, halting the raging torrent...

After achieving instant fame, Qingjiao didn't stop there. He took Lao Xu on an aircraft carrier and sailed into the depths of the sea.

Because when he repelled the great flood, he "saw" a black dragon in the churning waves.

It was this black dragon that caused the great flood by stirring up the rivers and seas; the threat of floods will not be eliminated until this dragon is removed.

As night fell, Qingjiao and Lao Xu each sat on a small stool on the bow deck of the ship.

The sea breeze is pleasant here, and the stars are bright.

"The fact that you can see this dragon means you have awakened. I congratulate you in advance."

Old Xu held a slice of watermelon in one hand and supported the melon with the other, raising both hands slightly in a Taoist congratulatory gesture. Regardless of the gesture, the main point was to be respectful yet casual.

He wasn't in a hurry to eat melons; he was in a hurry to finish eating melons before eating anything else. After all, Green Pepper is now a national hero. As the two of them sat there, support staff would come over from time to time to bring tea and fruit.

"And I also saw the cause and effect between me and it."

Green Pepper lit a cigarette and continued, "I have a feeling that this black dragon is the manifestation of the resentment that people have been accumulating."

Its appearance at this juncture signifies my destined enemy in this life.

"Only by slaying it can I unlock the boundless path."

Hmm, that makes sense...

Old Xu nodded without looking up, casually tossed the melon rind into the sea, and then picked up a fruit called "Sweet Stick" and started eating it. (They don't exist on the other side of Earth.)

Looking at him, Green Pepper cast an envious glance, because he also wanted to have a hearty meal like Old Xu, but a huge problem was weighing on his mind, making him lose all interest.

Then, he got up and went to the deck railing, facing the wind, and sighed: "Awakening also made me realize that I have set three seals for myself in this world."

The reason is that he fears that if he uses the power of the stars recklessly before his mind is mature enough, he will fail to achieve the purpose of reincarnation.

"As long as the seal remains unbroken, my power cannot be restored. How can I, a mere mortal, possibly defeat that black dragon?"

"Oh, which three seals?"

This time, Lao Xu finally looked at the green peppers seriously.

"The first step is ecstasy. It dispels my obsessions in this life, shatters my illusions, elevates my soul, and removes the seal."

The second step is bone-corroding. It breaks through my three chakras and seven meridians, causing my body to undergo a transformation from every cell, thus removing the seal.

The third is soul-stirring and bone-corroding. The first two have already given me a comprehensive breakthrough, from soul to body. What else do I need to do to overcome them?

Green Pepper kept asking and answering questions, genuinely unable to figure out how to break the third seal.

Ask me, how would I know?

Old Xu really didn't expect that the third seal on the green pepper would be a problem, and he was dumbfounded by the question.

He frowned and stroked his beard, pondering for a long time. "Now that you've broken the first two seals, do you have the strength to fight?"

Green Pepper thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Pretty much."

"As long as you can fight, that's fine. Then hurry up and unlock the seal, I'll step aside."

Upon hearing that he could fight, Old Xu immediately looked relieved and then left with small, quick steps.

Looking at Lao Xu's figure, Qingjiao slowly exhaled.

He knew that Lao Xu's reaction was actually his answer to the third seal.

Old Xu was in a hurry for him to break the seal because he was telling him that the third seal, which even he himself couldn't figure out, must require some kind of special opportunity to break.

When Lao Xu suggested avoiding it, he was telling him that breaking the seal was a very painful process, and that he couldn't bear to watch the "pig-slaughtering scene."

He lit another cigarette, then tossed the cigarette aside, letting it enclose itself in a space like a lantern.

Then, a faint white light emanated from the scroll, illuminating the space and making his figure visible from the outside.

At first, he was only sitting cross-legged.

Later, his figure began to sway unsteadily.

Then, his figure scratched and flailed wildly, while faint screams of pain could be heard...

After an unknown amount of time, the faint light from the reel faded, and it rolled up on its own.

The green pepper inside is now visible, and at this moment it seems like a completely different person.

Not just their expressions, but also their physical appearance.

He was extremely weak, his hands trembling as he lifted a tuft of long hair, looked at it, and smiled silently, his eyes filled with lingering fear after his transformation.

But then, he gritted his teeth, straightened his body, changed his expression, put his hands behind his back, and looked up to transmit his voice: "Where are the gods in heaven here?"

This is a shout that only those who are qualified can hear, the voice of a holy king who has been reincarnated to the human world.

Before long, the "Ten Treasures of the Scroll" led by Xu Xiangsheng appeared as light.

Xu Xiangsheng, representing all the gods, bowed and said, "We pay our respects to the Holy King."

Green Pepper was slightly taken aback when he saw the crowd. "Such a large planet has only this many gods?"

Xu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, his expression revealing a complex story.

Now is not the time to talk about these things, so Green Pepper quickly got back to the main topic and explained why they had been summoned.

At daybreak tomorrow, he will slay the black dragon in the ocean. To prevent the black dragon from escaping beyond the planet, he needs the gods to set up an array to imprison the Blue Fat Star.

The blue fat star is a bit big, but the ten gods working together can still manage. Xu Xiangsheng immediately replied, "I will obey your command."

Afterwards, Xu Xiangsheng saw that Qingjiao's clothes were torn and tattered from scratching, so he conjured up his treasured clothes and presented them to her.

It was a set, including a crown, a robe, and boots, named Polaris Crimson Frost.

Green peppers didn't hesitate, donned the outfit, and exuded an emperor-like aura.

Not everyone who wears it will have such an effect. Upon seeing this, Xu Xiangsheng and the others exclaimed in their hearts that it was truly a divine being, and they quickly bowed again.

"Tomorrow I will use my fighting spirit as my signal, and I will fight the black dragon. Then you will form your formation."

If there are no problems, you can go back and prepare.

The green pepper is too tired and wants to rest.

Obeying the order.

The ten treasures in the scroll have scattered...

At dawn, the first rays of sunlight break through the horizon where the sea meets the sky.

Old Xu stretched and walked out of the cabin, only to find that he wasn't the only early riser.

On the vast deck, reporters were busily setting up various filming equipment, with military logistics also involved.

In short, what happened on one deck has begun to capture the hearts of people all over the world.

"If I started livestreaming products now, I'd definitely sell them like hotcakes, huh?"

Green Pepper then stepped out of the cabin and spoke to Old Xu in front of him.

After a night's rest, he recovered well and felt refreshed.

Old Xu turned around and was immediately struck by a jolt of surprise. "My goodness, are you Green Pepper? Your hair has grown so long! And your outfit isn't bad either!"

"Have I changed?"

Green Pepper didn't even have time to look in the mirror or touch her face.

"No, but he's even more handsome!"

Old Xu squinted and looked closely, nodding more and more as he looked.

At this moment, a reporter saw the green peppers come out and ran over to interview them.

His first question was, "We witnessed your prowess during the defense against the great flood. What are our chances of winning this battle? One hundred percent or something else?"

"Ninety percent."

Green Pepper put her hands behind her back, her expression resolute.

"That's great! Once the black dragon is gone, people all over the world can return to their wonderful lives."

Although it wasn't 100%, the reporter still managed to present himself in the most appropriate manner, thus inspiring people around the world.

"I mean ninety percent, or even more... I can't beat them."

Because I am but a mortal, there is a natural difference between me and the other person.

After saying that, Green Pepper looked up at the vast and magnificent sea.

After awakening, he gained a new understanding of power and knew what he was facing with only two seals broken.
