Doomsday Code

Chapter 970 The World of Scripts

"Dragon transformation? What does that mean?"

Chen Cheng spoke in a questioning tone.

"Don't forget what you promised me. I don't want Sheli to turn into some kind of terrifying bio-monster."

When Ge Long saw Chen Cheng's aggressive demeanor, a feeling of grievance welled up inside her.

"Why do you say that we dragons are monsters? With his weak body before, he would have been killed with a single slap if something happened. I saved him and made him stronger. What gives you the right to question me?"

Don't forget, you haven't fulfilled your promise to me yet. Right now, you can only say that I took pity on you and saved your men.

Ge Long's words instantly rendered Chen Cheng speechless, but since this concerned She Li's future, Chen Cheng took a breath and said:

“I apologize for my offensive attitude towards you just now, but you must explain to me what White Dragon Transformation means, because it concerns my brother.”

Chen Cheng did not regard She Li as a subordinate, but as a brother who went through hardships with him.

Seeing Chen Cheng lower his head, Ge Long felt a little better, and then said:

"He was already on the verge of death, and no healing medicine worked. I could only use the Dragon Blood Tree that I used to refine my divine body to save him."

But this precious tree had long since merged with my body and was implanted into his body. His physical body was just an ordinary human, so of course it couldn't support my dragon body.

He will be gradually transformed, his physical strength and other aspects will become stronger, but he will grow dragon horns and a dragon tail.

Ge Long's words reminded Chen Cheng of special animal gene serums in some science fiction works from his previous life, such as Spider-Man.

"Besides these, could it affect his consciousness and thoughts, turning him into a real dragon?"

Chen Cheng was still asking the question tactfully.

To put it bluntly, it means that letting go might turn a person into a beast.

Ge Long glanced at Chen Cheng, then, as if struck by a thought, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I cannot guarantee that if his will is strong enough, he will still be himself, and his strength will increase rapidly due to his transformation into a dragon."

However, if he is not resolute enough, and is influenced by the dragon bloodline, he will become a hybrid dragon.

Seeing Chen Cheng's furrowed brows and tense expression as he pondered, Ge Long felt a surge of pleasure.

The consequences she described were not an exaggeration, but the situation couldn't possibly be that bad. Otherwise, Zhu Yan and the winged tiger wouldn't have attacked the Western Province in order to obtain pure dragon blood.

Moreover, Sheli is an enlightened being; his spirit and consciousness have long been integrated with his own Dao. This slight change in his physical body and bloodline could not possibly have any effect on him.

However, Chen Cheng was now blinded by concern, fearing that he would lose a brother who had been with him for a long time after accepting this new world.

"Alright, you woman, stop trying to scare His Majesty. If he were so easily swayed, with a little bloodshed from your dragon clan, wouldn't the world outside be yours to rule?"

Kui Niu couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up.

"You lied to me."

Chen Cheng stared at Ge Long.

Ge Long, however, gave an innocent look and said:

"I didn't lie to you, I just wanted you to tell me, so I told you all the consequences."

Besides, didn't I say at the beginning that he had a strong will? Does that mean he's still himself? You're just overthinking it.

Although he had been tricked by Ge Long, Chen Cheng knew that Ge Long must have paid a heavy price, considering that She Li was now alright and could even be said to have benefited from the misfortune.

After all, that involves skinning and pulling out tendons, which is the most painful way to describe a form of torture.

"Thank you, I will definitely help you become a god."

Chen Cheng didn't consider whether helping Ge Long become a god would be more difficult than saving She Li. He only knew that Ge Long had paid a price to save his brother, so he also wanted to help Ge Long fulfill her dream.

Seeing Chen Cheng's serious expression, Ge Long's cheeks flushed slightly, and then he said:

"Stop being so sentimental. Let's figure out how to leave first."

Chen Cheng nodded, and then looked at the jungle of machines in front of him.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Gust had already transformed back into human form. Clutching his chest, he approached Chen Cheng, wanting to tell him about his ordeal there.

Although Chen Cheng had never met the Barbarian King, he had heard Kui Niu talk about him.

"Barbarian King, I saw you fighting that dark-skinned guy earlier. You must have arrived here before us. Can you tell me what happened here?"

"That's exactly what I meant."

The barbarian king then recounted the entire story.

As he recounted his story, Noah and the others who had gone out to investigate brought back some remnants of the little black figures' collection that had not yet been completely destroyed.

Upon hearing the Barbarian King describe familiar things like television sets, Chen Cheng's expression constantly changed.

Upon hearing this, Kui Niu became enraged and said:

"What does that guy take us for? He actually brought out a stand-in so he could watch the show from here."

At this point, Kui Niu and his companions had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation; they still thought that the little black man was just watching a show with some kind of special artifact.

Although Chen Cheng had never seen the actual object, he had been exposed to concepts similar to The Truman Show in his previous life.

He still remembered the script game that Ge Long had mentioned when he first arrived; wasn't this just improvisational script performance?

He even complained at the time that the script for the hero fighting the dragon was too cliché.

Furthermore, to ensure the script could be performed without any mistakes, he specially appointed a supervisor who could be passed down through generations—the Great Sage.

Besides the clichéd script, there are also nine suns in the sky. Putting aside what kind of hellish scene nine suns in the sky would create, the fact that those nine suns change the day and night like switching lights on and off is abnormal enough.

"The World of Scripts"

Finally, Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and squeezed out those words.

Then he stood up and said:

"Please lead the way, Barbarian King, we need to find the 'director'."

Although he didn't know what the director meant, Barbarian King still understood that Chen Cheng wanted to find the special crystal box that could monitor people, as mentioned by him.

Although this time the space was forcibly broken open by Chen Cheng, the Barbarian King still left his scent traces when he appeared here.

Following the scent he left behind, the Barbarian King quickly found the spot where he first appeared. In front of that machine, there was a dark gray handprint he had left behind.

As Chen Cheng traversed this jungle of machines, he grew increasingly alarmed. The scale and sophistication of these machines far surpassed what he had seen in the World Tree.

Thinking of that little black figure, Chen Cheng began to doubt whether the scenes he had seen in the Great Sage's memories were real. Could it be that he had also been written into a new script by that guy, and those scenes were just something he deliberately showed to him?

Because if it were an external divine will, Chen Cheng didn't believe that it could control this place and stage a real-life scenario.
