#230 - Chapter 230 No way? Qilin?
For a brief moment, Jiang Han wondered if he had arrived in heaven.
The surrounding buildings resembled pristine white churches, standing in a well-arranged manner, exuding an intoxicating aura of purity. The churches soared into the clouds, their solemn and magnificent appearance seemingly connecting with heaven; the surrounding gardens were like a fairyland on earth, with a profusion of flowers and lush green grass.
Walking through it, Jiang Han felt like he was just missing a robe to transform into a priest presiding over a wedding.
Whoosh!
But soon he noticed something unusual.
It was a fountain, with clear spring water gurgling, and above it, there was a statue.
It was a magnificent creature, covered in golden scales, as if wearing golden armor. Its head was shaped like a dragon's head, but it was more majestic and dignified than an ordinary dragon's head, its eyes as hot and dazzling as burning flames, revealing a mysterious and powerful aura.
Qilin?
Jiang Han stared intently, and the word appeared in his mind.
But...
How could this creature appear here?
The elements of a church and a Qilin are completely unrelated!
One is a typical Western building, and the other is an auspicious beast of the East.
Could it be that the builder of this church was an Easterner?
Jiang Han couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Regarding the background of "Doomsday," there are also a lot of analyses online, a very typical Western fantasy world.
Whether it's elves, goblins, dwarves, or the evil god Cygnus, the fire god Hephaestus, they are all unique to Western mythology.
At least, these things do not exist in the traditional mythology of Great Xia.
Naturally, "Doomsday" is defined as the embodiment of Western mythology.
But now, Jiang Han has once again come into contact with creatures unique to Eastern mythology.
Qilin.
In addition, in fact, the Undying Divine Phoenix is similar to the Phoenix clan in Great Xia mythology, although there are differences, they are not significant.
"Could it be that behind 'Doomsday,' there are not only Western gods and strange beings."
"There are also some Eastern elements?"
"It's just that because of some unknown factors, no one can come into contact with them."
"And now, I see it."
Jiang Han pondered.
Is this the reason behind it?
Is the level not high enough?
It seems so!
After all, even in a damaged state, the Undying Divine Phoenix was fearless in fighting two enemies. In its heyday, it even forced a group of gods to take action together, and they only did so when it was weak after giving birth to offspring.
Such an existence is undoubtedly the most powerful being Jiang Han has ever encountered.
And this Qilin?
Although it's not very clear.
But since it's linked to the Holy Judgment item, it shouldn't be weak.
"If I could get a Qilin egg, I would be rich."
Jiang Han reached out and touched the statue with a look of emotion.
Buzz!
The moment he touched the statue, the Qilin statue seemed to come back to life, its pupils flowing with golden lava.
It looked down at Jiang Han from above.
An imposing and heavy voice sounded.
"Who is it! Disturbing my slumber."
Jiang Han raised his eyebrows. If he had doubted the identity of the creature before, now he could be sure that it was indeed a Qilin.
After completely awakening, the characteristics of the Qilin were too obvious.
It's just that the size is slightly smaller.
"Yo, fellow countryman, you're really awake."
However, facing such heavy pressure, Jiang Han still maintained a good attitude and joked.
"Human, leave, this is not a place for you."
Faced with Jiang Han's attempt to build a relationship, the Qilin obviously didn't buy it, but it didn't mean to attack.
A ball of white light enveloped Jiang Han, trying to send him out of here.
"Stop!"
Jiang Han didn't expect that he would be kicked out after just saying hello.
So angry.
It's really countrymen meeting countrymen, shooting each other in the back.
But he didn't give up and wanted to struggle a bit, "I am here to find the Holy Judgment item in accordance with the will of the Divine Tree, can you give me some face?"
"The will of the Divine Tree?"
The Qilin scoffed, "So what? The Holy Judgment item is not something you can touch... Wait."
Suddenly, a strange color flashed in its pupils, and the milky white halo surrounding Jiang Han contracted, wrapping him tightly, as if exploring something.
But Jiang Han didn't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, the Qilin's power was extremely gentle, as pleasant as a traditional handjob on a sunny afternoon.
"The intersection of divinity, I see..."
Jiang Han was still wondering why the Qilin had suddenly changed its mind, but the latter just said this in a low voice.
Then, another burst of light shone brightly, and the figure of the Qilin gradually became illusory.
Along with it, the surrounding buildings also disappeared, like waking up from a dream, everything was rapidly moving away.
Before Jiang Han could ask.
The Qilin's voice sounded again.
"Human, I don't know where you come from."
"But... you are indeed qualified to bear the power of the Holy Spirit."
"If you have confidence, you can embark on this path. If you succeed, you will get the Holy Judgment item you dream of."
"But if you fail, die!"
The voice was deafening, like a thunderclap.
But for Jiang Han, this was obviously not a threat.
What a joke, I am a noble player, with four resurrection opportunities, plus the protection of the Divine Tree, which is only two lives less than a cat!
"Also."
But the Qilin's next voice broke his reliance, "In addition, I remind you."
"I know that you and I, like me, do not belong to this world."
"But the power of the Holy Spirit, even if it is only a prototype, can interfere with the will of the world."
"This also means that all your resurrection methods will be invalid, even if the source of power comes from the Divine Tree."
"Even so, do you still want to accept the test?"
"Even the will of the world can be changed? Resurrection is invalid?" Jiang Han was slightly surprised. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Is the so-called Holy Judgment item so terrible?
And what does that prototype mean?
"Now, make a choice."
The Qilin said, "While the Holy Spirit Road has not yet opened, you still have time to regret it."
"Regret? Who do you think you're looking down on?"
Hearing this, Jiang Han just curled his lips in disdain, without even hesitating.
Isn't it just risking your life?
It's just that good days have been going on for too long now, and there aren't many opportunities.
In his previous life, he single-handedly pushed that slutty Liu to the god level. Has he risked his life fewer times?
Who's afraid of who?
Jiang Han reached out and signaled, "Yes, it's that Holy Spirit Road, open it for me immediately."
"Thank you."
