After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 248 Finale

Chapter 248 The Grand Finale

"Fire Dragon Technique!"

In an instant, a massive fire dragon, several dozen feet long, suddenly appeared in the void.

This fire dragon was extremely peculiar. It had a pair of majestic and powerful antlers, long and thin whiskers hanging down from its chin like fish, and four sharp claws as sharp as those of an eagle.

As soon as the fire dragon appeared, it circled and danced in the void, causing the surrounding wind and clouds to change color. Then, with lightning speed, it charged towards the heavy platform again.

With a deafening roar, the sturdy protective shield that had been hanging down from the colorful tower suddenly shattered.

The powerful impact sent Chongtai flying dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into the mountainside behind him. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and nearly lost his life.

As the saying goes, "strike while the iron is hot," seeing that Chongtai had suffered such a heavy blow, how could Jinlong let go of this excellent opportunity?

It opened its blood-red maw and suddenly spewed out streams of golden sword energy.

These sword energies swept towards the heavy platform like a raging storm, their speed astonishing.

The golden flying sword that had been launched by the heavy platform earlier was now drawing a strange arc in the air, arriving in an instant like a bolt of lightning.

The golden flying sword released a fierce and unparalleled sword aura, its sharpness seemingly capable of severing all obstacles in the world, and it slashed down directly at the heavy platform.

Due to the severity of his injuries, Chongtai's body reacted extremely slowly. Faced with this sudden and fatal blow, he had no time to make any effective evasive maneuvers.

With a muffled "thud!", Chongtai's body was cleaved in two by the terrifying sword energy.

At this moment, a dim golden pill, about the size of an adult's fist, appeared. Inside the golden pill, one could vaguely see the facial features of a person, such as a mouth, nose, and ears. It was none other than Chongtai, who had just died.

At this moment, he was planning to escape towards the distant horizon.

The golden dragon instantly spat out a spiritual mirror to freeze the golden core, then with a flash of spiritual light in its finger, it annihilated the golden core with a single claw.

Just then, the thick, inky clouds that had been covering the sky seemed to be quickly parted by an invisible hand, and gradually dissipated.

In a short while, the sky returned to its usual clear state, and the azure sky, as blue as a jewel, was displayed before everyone's eyes, with sunlight shining down on the earth without any obstruction.

The majestic golden dragon had been happily planning to turn back and find Jiang Mianmian.

However, suddenly, a dazzling beam of light tore through the barrier of space and time like lightning, shooting straight toward the golden dragon with lightning speed.

Immediately afterwards, a series of mysterious characters, shimmering with golden light, fluttered and entered the golden dragon's forehead.

In an instant, the light shone brightly, blinding everyone. As the light gradually subsided, people were astonished to find that the golden dragon had transformed into a handsome and dashing man.

He was tall and handsome, and his long golden robe fluttered in the wind, further highlighting his extraordinary temperament.

"Uh... why did the Supreme God make me the Heavenly Dao of this world?"

After thoroughly sorting through the golden characters that flooded his mind, Jinlong frowned and complained with a face full of dissatisfaction.

It turns out that the previous deity had already seen through Chongtai's many evil deeds.

The god originally intended to personally capture Chongtai, but he was too late. By the time he arrived, Chongtai was already dead.

In this way, the original Heavenly Dao of this world is gone. If the Heavenly Dao does not protect and bless this world for a long time, then this entire world will face the crisis of disintegration.

Left with no other choice, the Supreme God had to make a quick decision and temporarily appoint the Golden Dragon as the new Heavenly Dao, entrusting him with the important task of protecting this world.

Jinlong was clearly quite indignant about this, and began to mutter and curse under his breath.

However, despite his resentment, he was also well aware that he was shouldering a great mission and could not afford to be negligent or careless.

Meanwhile, Yunhai, who had witnessed everything from the sidelines, was so excited that he danced around and couldn't help but shout, "Great! This is really great!"

His face, flushed with excitement, radiated an irrepressible joy.

Jiang Mianmian was also beaming with joy, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent shapes as she gazed affectionately at the golden dragon that had transformed into human form.

[I knew it! My golden dragon will always be the most powerful!]

Thinking of this, a look of pride and self-satisfaction involuntarily appeared on her face.

Gu Yunchen: "..."

I am your real son, okay?

Jiang Mianmian: No, not by blood, and a day when I want to sever the mother-son relationship.

However, at that moment, Gu Yunchen let out a deep breath, a feeling of indescribable ease welling up in his heart.

It felt as if a huge boulder that had been weighing on my heart had finally been lifted, and the feeling that everything was over surged into my heart like a tide.

The female assassins who once surrounded him are now his prisoners. Their presence used to keep him awake at night, constantly worrying about the safety of his family.

But now that they have all been captured and killed, the safety of their families is finally guaranteed.

Standing to the side, Yunhai's face was also filled with joy. He quickly walked to Situ Xingya, bowed respectfully, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the Great Yuan Kingdom has finally weathered the calamity of national destruction. This is all thanks to Fairy Jiang's tremendous assistance!"

"As long as she is here, our Great Yuan Kingdom will surely prosper and flourish, and we will have nothing to worry about for the next hundred years."

Upon hearing this, Situ Xingya nodded repeatedly in agreement, muttering, "Good, good, good..."

His joy was palpable. He then couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh, the sound echoing throughout the palace, as if to share his joy with everyone.

"Hahaha... This is truly a blessing from heaven for our Great Abyss!" Situ Xingya was so excited that his face turned red, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, he loudly ordered, "Guards, quickly draft an imperial edict! I want to reward Lady Jiang handsomely... no, I mean Fairy Jiang, by bestowing upon her the title of 'Lady of the State'!"

On the other hand, since the golden dragon had already merged with the Heavenly Dao, it could no longer return to Jiang Mianmian's body.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Mianmian had to take the gleaming "Imperial Edict of the Lady of the State" home with her incredulous son.

Throughout the journey, her feelings were complex and filled with mixed emotions. Today's experiences were undoubtedly a mix of surprise and fear for her.

Sigh! I wonder if I'll ever see Jinlong again?

Gu Yunchen shook his head: I want to know too?

A powerful, irrepressible desire surged within Jiang Mianmian: to embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible. This urgent feeling burned like a raging fire, driving her ever forward.

Once she returned home, she put all the outside disturbances behind her.

Aside from continuing to care for his granddaughter Le, he devotes all his time to cultivation.

Even when her youngest daughter, youngest son, and several grandchildren came back, she only came out to chat for a while and then didn't pay much attention to them anymore.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Little Le'an gradually blossomed into a graceful young woman and ushered in an important moment in her life—getting married.

At this time, Jiang Mianmian's determination to cultivate never wavered. After that, she saw off several of her sons and daughters-in-law.

As the days went by, Jiang Mianmian gradually realized that this world seemed to be subtly rejecting her. That vague sense of unease lingered in her mind, making her feel uneasy.

Finally, on a beautiful, sunny day, the golden dragon descended before Jiang Mianmian.

The moment Jiang Mianmian saw the golden dragon, she understood the reason. It turned out the golden dragon had come to tell her it was time for her to leave.

Furthermore, Jinlong told Jiang Mianmian that she now faces two choices: one is to return to the modern world, but her cultivation will be suppressed; the other is to go to a higher level plane, in which case she will not have to worry about the problem of her cultivation being limited.

After much deliberation, Jiang Mianmian finally decided to return to that familiar yet unfamiliar modern society.

After all, she had been inexplicably dragged into this world by her master, Yunhai, and deep down she had always harbored a sense of longing and curiosity. She really wanted to go back and see what it had become.

Jinlong was not surprised by Jiang Mianmian's decision, and generously gifted her many precious treasures.

Subsequently, he personally intervened, using his immense power to break through the time tunnel, paving a path home for Jiang Mianmian.

Since Jiang Mianmian's current cultivation level is already quite high, it is enough to protect her fragile body, allowing her to withstand the terrifying strangling force of the time tunnel unharmed.

After experiencing wave after wave of dizziness, Jiang Mianmian felt as if she were on an extremely crazy roller coaster, her body being tossed and turned and swayed by the surging force.

The intense dizziness and weightlessness made her feel lightheaded and nauseous.

She finally managed to stop and regain her balance, but before she could even catch her breath, she couldn't help but vomit.

"My goodness! This is worse than riding a time machine, it's worse than death!" Jiang Mianmian groaned in pain as she vomited violently.

She only calmed down a little after she had vomited everything she could.

Only then did she have the energy to take in her surroundings. She found herself in a dilapidated, unfinished building, surrounded by an atmosphere of decay and desolation.

Jiang Mianmian took a deep breath, composed herself, and then slowly stepped out of the unfinished building.

After walking for another half hour, she finally saw a wide and busy avenue, with cars and people coming and going.

As she watched the cars speeding by and the hurried pedestrians, Jiang Mianmian felt a complex mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

Everything here seemed exactly the same as the world she remembered, yet there was a subtle, indescribable sense of alienation about it.

But soon she realized—yes, after all the hardships, she had finally returned to this place that was once so familiar to her.
