"No way! Master! Your spiritual energy—!" Ying'er didn't finish her sentence as high brightness' face was filled with intense pain. At that very moment, the Yue Guang treasure box space had just begun to open. "Not good! Only thirty seconds remain—we must enter the Yue Guang treasure box space!" High brightness' heart sank, yet the more urgent it became, the more the balance scale trembled. If the scale completely lost its equilibrium, it would be extremely dangerous. "Husband! I shouldn't have conducted such a test!" Ying'er regretted, but High brightness struggled to contain his pain and said to her, "You said that cultivating the divine spirit begins with cultivating the heart. Yet, while I can withstand every form of temptation, I find it impossible to resist your allure. Ying'er! Right now, my self-control is nearly zero. You're a dynamic, ever-changing diva—my husband isn't a saint!" They had never imagined that cultivation could be so perilous. The Yue Guang treasure box space only remained open for thirty seconds. If they didn't enter within that time, it would close permanently. The opportunity comes only once. When it arrives, you must seize it. Yet now, with Highlight's spiritual strength falling short, the balance has tipped and is about to fall—once it does, all of Highlight's divine cultivation efforts will be lost. "10, 9, 8…" The Yue Guang treasure box space is automatically counting down, and Highlight and Ying'er's hearts grow tighter. The balance still trembles. Ying'er is the one who established the game rules—she cannot easily alter them, for her words carry the power of magic. "3, 2…" As Highlight and Ying'er close their eyes in despair, the balance suddenly stirs. What on earth is happening? Wow! It's her! She personally supports the balance with her jade hands. Now the balance is steady, and so is her spiritual strength. At the very moment the countdown reaches "1," Highlight instinctively reaches for someone's hand and steps into the Yue Guang treasure box space. As soon as they enter, the door of the space slams shut. When High-light called out again for Ying'er, he found it was Zhang Yu Ping. At the same time, looking down through the spatial rift, he noticed that the space of the Gao Guang Treasure Box had already risen to 3,000 meters above the ground, and Ying'er had become just a small dot. High-light's spiritual eyes caught Ying'er waving at him, and a voice seemed to echo in his ears: "Husband! Take care! I'll be waiting for you to return!" Excited, High-light communicated with Ying'er through his brainwave consciousness: "Wife! Don't worry! Please take care of all matters at my company, Desire to Become a God Group. I'll keep you posted on my and Yu Ping's news!" At this moment, since the journey was to the year 221 BCE—a specific era—spanning from 2011 CE to 221 BCE, the time difference amounts to 2,232 years, which is longer than the previous trips to the Song and Tang dynasties. "Ping'er! Hold my hand! We're entering the time tunnel!" High-light reminded himself! Zhang Yuping, this exquisite beauty, immediately grasped his strong and powerful hand. However, as Zhang Yuping was merely of ordinary build, she couldn't quite hold on tightly at first—thankfully, Gao Liang firmly held her with the other hand, otherwise the two would have separated. "Ah!" Pu'er gasped, as both of them entered a dark tunnel with no light at all. She felt herself gliding past something as they moved forward. Yet, out of curiosity, Zhang Yuping accidentally widened her eyes, and upon looking, she was startled—there, before her, was a massive crocodile opening its massive, blood-red jaws, glaring steadily at her. "I'm so afraid! So afraid!" Zhang Yuping trembled all over, and the man-eating crocodile had already roared and charged toward her. Gao Liang knew that during the journey, one must remain fully focused. As the crocodile raised its limbs, leaped fiercely, and surged forward, Gao Liang roared, "I am Lightning! I swear by the elemental power of Lightning in nature! I shall strike you with lightning!" Immediately, a deep, rumbling sound echoed through the air. When the man-eating crocodile was about five meters from Zhang Yuping, the ground cracked with a thunderous roar, as if the earth itself had shaken. Suddenly, the crocodile halted all its movements and plunged downward, its massive body falling through the air. Zhang Yuping watched in astonishment as the crocodile sank into the steaming river below, thrashing a few times before going still and disappearing beneath the surface. She had never seen anything like this—how could Gao Liang possess such extraordinary ability? This was merely a minor incident; greater dangers lay ahead. As Gao Liang swiftly pulled Zhang Yuping's jade-hand forward, they spotted a colossal dragon ahead—so immense that it stood over 100 meters tall, towering like a mountain. In comparison, Gao Liang and Zhang Yuping appeared no larger than two ants. They had to cross quickly, and time was extremely tight—they needed to make it across within five minutes. Yet the dragon blocked their way with its massive body. "We'll climb over! Ping! Hurry! Fly with me!" Their hands tightened together, but unfortunately, as soon as they began to move forward, the dragon gently exhaled a breath, creating a powerful gust of wind. While this wind was nothing extraordinary for the Divine King of Wu, the Guardian Deity, or the Celestial Deity Gao Liang, it proved to be a deadly blow for Zhang Yuping, the ordinary girl from the mortal world. "Ah!" she cried out, her delicate body drifting like a leaf caught in a fierce gale, carried away into the distance. Unfortunate! Far ahead stood a mountain, steep and towering—unless they rescued her swiftly, the consequences would be dire. Gao Liang roared in fury, "I have become a deity! Any who stand in my way shall perish!" Immediately, his divine abilities surged to life. Highlight's brilliance had now taken flight like a sparrow, and this time, he was even faster—nearly N times faster than a sparrow—because the three Dragon Balls within him had fully activated. The Energy Dragon Ball emitted an energy so profound that it surged exponentially, growing at the rate of 64 to the power of N. With a roar, Highlight declared, "I am the Wind! I am the Risk Controller!" Instantly, a powerful gust of wind swept across the sky, fiercely lashing toward the giant dragon. The dragon had no time to react; sand erupted, swirling into his eyes, blinding him completely. At the same time, driven by the energy from the Energy Dragon Ball, Highlight surged forward with lightning speed. When Zhang Yупing gasped in surprise and collided with the steep mountain peak, Highlight had already overtaken her and reached out, firmly embracing her slender waist. "Oh! Mmm!" Zhang Yупing was caught off guard, colliding with Highlight. Zhang Yuping's human chest, warm, bright, broad, and solid, supported the vibrant and active energy of Gao Liang. At this moment, Gao Liang's energy cells were in their most dynamic state—his entire body functioned as an energy reservoir. Due to the high level of mastery in his energy absorption and transformation, he could now release a unique substance in response to environmental changes—exactly the one that Zhang Yuping needed. This time, Zhang Yuping didn't experience the previous electric shock sensation, but instead, she smelled a delicate fragrance. Wow! It was the very scent she had once smelled with her husband in San Francisco—an aroma so rare, so unique, that even if she spent money, she couldn't find it anywhere else. Why did her husband carry this special scent that she so loved? At this moment, there was no time for conversation between them—the dragon had already roared and launched a furious assault. The one-eyed dragon, determined to avenge itself, now aimed solely to defeat Gao Liang. "Ping'er! Hurry! Ride onto my shoulders! Hold onto my head!" However, Guo Yang's reminder made Zhang Yuping hesitate. Yet the dragon had already moved forward like a mountain, causing the ground to tremble as if an earthquake were occurring. Having seen countless reports of the Wenchuan and Yushu earthquakes in China, and the Japanese earthquake that led to nuclear leakage, Zhang Yuping had grown increasingly fearful—what if she died in such a quake? She had to follow her husband's advice. Thus, her instinct for survival prompted her to act exactly as he suggested. When Zhang Yuping mounted Guo Yang's shoulders, the dragon's teeth were only 50 centimeters from her nose. A slight downward movement would have surely crushed her. Yet, despite this close proximity, the dragon simply wouldn't come any nearer. Zhang Yuping found it quite strange—how could her husband possess such remarkable strength? But suddenly, she noticed that her husband's complexion was off. It turned out that Gao Liang was practicing the Jinzhong Iron Cloak technique of the Songshan Monastery. Although this technique was quite effective and provided strong protection, it could only withstand the power of such a dragon from the realm of magic for three minutes—after which it would completely lose its effectiveness.
