Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 387 The Whale's Weakness

The beluga whale swam suspiciously, its immense body casting a shadow large enough to cover the world, wandering around this world that was not so large to it.

If it were a person, the world wouldn't be bigger than a flower bed.

If it were a bird, the world would be as small as a bonsai.

It only takes a very short time for it to circle the entire world. Even though it cannot currently channel its power into the world as freely as it used to, many of the world's secrets are clearly revealed to it.

Wu Chen was indeed an interesting and troublesome opponent—in its long life, this was the first creature it had ever encountered that could be called an 'opponent.' And what Wu Chen said was indeed true; it had indeed failed to touch Wu Chen without destroying the world.

The world already belongs to him; the safeguards he, as the creator, left behind are being eradicated and purged at a visible pace. Taking the world back from him is indeed more difficult than he could have imagined.

That's practically impossible.

So, assuming the first two conditions are met, is the third condition the other party stated—that 'they cannot abandon this world'—considered a definite truth?

The beluga whale in the void swam around its own viewing platform, deep in thought.

The answer is 'no'.

This stage may be spectacular, but it doesn't concern my survival. Losing this world wouldn't be an irreparable, permanent damage. And I could even spend some resources and time to successfully create another identical world.

Hasn't this happened many times before? —Aren't many small worlds outside this stage created by oneself in one's spare time?
Yes, that's right, that's exactly it.

The value of this world isn't as great as that human claimed. I can completely abandon it, and I can annihilate this world along with its enemies!
Then... let's do it this way!
Within the world, the phantom of the beluga whale continued its contemplation. Beyond the world, the beluga whale's jaws were already wide open in fury. It intended to swallow the entire world whole and chew it to dust. Whatever mysterious secrets lay hidden within, they would be utterly and completely destroyed in this single blow.

bite.

It devoured with its massive jaws.

However, it was not possible.

The white whale in the void remained there, its movement halted at the very last moment. It hadn't managed to cleanly and decisively destroy the exquisitely crafted stage. A sense of reluctance held it back at that moment.

——Why?
Why should I suffer this injustice? Why do these ants not obediently offer up everything I want?

unwilling.

This is a taste it has never experienced before.

As the creator, it only needs to make any whimsical demands, and its creations, its servants, will do everything in their power to fulfill them.

Everyone is the same.

Even the mortal who is destined to become one's 'mother' in the predetermined script is the same.

It pondered and considered. It wasn't surprised to find that it didn't actually care at all about the woman who was supposed to give it the gift of 'motherly love' in the future. What it had hoped for from the beginning was that everyone would fulfill all its wishes.

Everyone.

Including the one right in front of us.

He had to respect him, he had to worship him. Therefore, he had to immediately defeat this living being who dared to defy him!
Anyway, everything in this world, even if you add it all up, is less than half the size of me!

So……

Within this world, the phantom of the white whale lowered its eyes slightly. Its thoughts, existing outside the world, caused only a fleeting moment of time to pass within. [Of course I dare, mortal.]

Bet the world on it, bet everything you have!

..............................

"as you wish."

Wu Chen lowered his gaze, opened his hands, and the world's appearance evolved according to his will.

The beluga whale made a mistake; it shouldn't have accepted the bet. And even if it had, it shouldn't have increased its stake.

—The theory of origin has already taken effect.

The price for getting others to gamble everything is that you yourself must also gamble everything. However, it states such conditions only because it has a plan to eliminate all threats after victory, not because its words possess any coercive power.

It doesn't have it, but Wu Chen does.

Wu Chen did not accept the additional bet. This meant that Wu Chen could have accepted the extra bet at the last second before victory was secured.

"What a pity, Ludrasasim."

Wu Chen's voice rang out, and he spoke only to himself. The changing world unfolded before his eyes, manifesting itself as a chessboard.

Jepan's map of the kingdoms is displayed on the chessboard. All the details within it are shown on the chessboard.

Wu Chen occupied one side of the map, while the phantom of the white whale was on the other. He then stretched out his hand, limited to the land of Jepan, allowing the power that had lingered in the world to flow.

"I'll choose first!" the beluga whale cried, its competitive spirit as high as Lance's at the start. "This is the bet you proposed, so I should give you preferential treatment!"

It shouted loudly, while Wu Chen simply chuckled. He spread his hands, indicating that the other party could decide the direction first.

"We both know very well what will happen on this land in the future. We also know who the villains are and who the protagonists are."

This statement has no power.

But the intensity of that statement was just right for this Void Whale.

It certainly knew that the Oda clan would win the world in the original storyline. It also knew that Kenshin of the Uesugi clan would obtain the ancient royal artifact that had ruled the entire Jepan and even most of the continent a thousand years ago, thus easily suppressing the entire Jepan.

It knows all this, but precisely because it knows, it won't choose it. Demanding first-mover advantage is already the most shameless act this creator has ever committed. Going any further would be tantamount to forcing it to admit its own weakness.

[I choose Shimazu!] The white whale proudly pressed a corner of the map, and the four daimyo's countries at the far left of Jepan were marked with its symbol. This was a powerful force led by the four Shimazu brothers. Theoretically, this force possessed the greatest power. Because later in the original story, this most remote force would also gain the power of monsters.

Choosing Shimazu is tantamount to choosing a monster, specifically the Demon Queen Miki, who only appears later in the story. And coincidentally, Wu Chen didn't encounter her, who was supposed to be there, in Lissas.

“Alright.” Wu Chen nodded and smiled.

"Then, I choose this place."

His finger descended in another direction.
