nAfter Wang Yi left, Ye Yunxiao said, “Go to the temple and pass this letter to God. I’ll be there soon.”
nUpon saying that, Ye Yunxiao rushed to Han Yun’s side. Weirdly enough, as soon as he reached Han Yun’s side, she woke up all of a sudden. The intense battle that had occurred earlier had not woken her up.
nHan Yun slowly opened her eyes. “Ye Yunxiao, did you save me again?”
nWei Huo was speechless.
nI saved you!
nYe Yunxiao said, “What matters is that you’re alright!”
nWei Huo thought to himself, Hey, this guy is changing the topic!
nForget it.
nWei Huo shook his head and prepared to head to the shrine with the letter.
nAfter all, they are Gods, and I am human. They are NPCs, and I am a player. Why should I stoop to their level? As long as the time halt ends and humans return, I will…
nWei Huo felt weird again. He had a bad feeling about this, as if…
nIt felt as if he had gone to school alone on the first day and walked on his way there. Everything around him seemed to have left him. Then, a weird feeling emerged in his heart, like a premonition or some kind of emotion.
nWith each step he took, he felt that the road beneath his feet became narrower. The pedestrians around him walked further away until everyone was gone. The road under his feet was only as wide as his shoulders. He was the only one left in the whole world, and there was only the road ahead and the road behind him. Everything on either side of him was merely moving background. He had only three options: advance, retreat, or stay where he was.
nEverything would return to normal when he walked through the school gate.
nThen, Wei Huo would laugh at himself. I was just afraid of school.
nReally? Wei Huo asked himself. The road under his feet suddenly became narrower, and everything around him disappeared. The two lovey-dovey guys who were still sleeping were gone.
nWei Huo arrived at the market. The old man who was buying vegetables, the peddler who was collecting second-hand cards, the haggling auntie, and everything else seemed to have a boundary. He was inside and outside the boundary line.
nThe situation only improved after Wei Huo entered the temple.
nHe checked his Health and found a new attribute on the menu: Loneliness (Serious)
n
nWei Huo laughed. He had not felt lonely in hundreds of years, yet he felt lonely now?
nHe had to study electromagnetic science as soon as possible and solve two physics problems to console himself.
nWei Huo entered the temple. The temple was located in the center of the Divine Realm. It was in another space and could only be entered through portals. It was also heavily guarded, and every guard was an extremely powerful being.
nThe guards did not stop Wei Huo, as he had a quest. That was why he had entered the temple. At that moment, three Gods were standing in the temple. One was the Heavenly Wood God, while the other two were the Family Head of the Chen Family and the General who led all the Divine Realm’s guards.
nWei Huo arrived at the palace and realized that the Heavenly Wood God was discussing something with the other two.
nThe General said, “The number of Divine Beasts exterminated outside the Divine Realm has increased recently.”
nThe Heavenly Wood God asked, “Why is there such an unusual phenomenon?”
nThe head of the Chen Family said, “Han Lu once mentioned to me that God seemed to have gone to the Void Realm of his own accord.”
nThe Heavenly Wood God thought about it and said, “I have to leave the Divine Realm and head to the Void Realm. We have to investigate this matter thoroughly.”
nThe General nodded. “I’ll be relieved if the Heavenly Wood God goes out personally. More and more Divine Beasts keep appearing, and they are getting stronger. Epic-ranked Divine Beasts have begun appearing as well.”
nAt that moment, Wei Huo handed the letter to the Heavenly Wood God. The Heavenly Wood God took the letter and said without even looking at it, “So this is the Wang Family’s plot! I didn’t expect the Wang Family to place the God Annihilating Staff on the boundary of the Divine Realm to attract the God Annihilating Beasts. We have to find the God Annihilating Staff as soon as possible!”
nWei Huo was speechless.
nYou didn’t even read the letter…
nThe General said angrily, “The Wang Family is too ambitious. We cannot let them off easily. We should send a God to capture them immediately!”
nThe Heavenly Wood God bellowed, “General, I’ll leave capturing the Wang Family Head to you. I’ll head to the Void Realm immediately to find the whereabouts of the God Annihilating Staff.”
nThe Family Head of the Chen Family said, “But the Divine Realm is really huge. Where should we look for the God Annihilating Staff?”
nThe Heavenly Wood God shouted, “General, capture the Wang Family Head immediately and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the God Annihilating Staff. Then, send a message to me. I have to go to the Void Realm. This is a big deal!”
nThe General accepted the order but did not move. Although the Heavenly Wood God had said that he had to head to the Void Realm immediately, he did not move either.
nThey were waiting for Wei Huo’s choice.
nTwo more choices popped up in front of Wei Huo’s eyes.
n“Follow the General to the Wang Family to capture the mastermind of this plot. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with 1,000 Divine Stones and 30 Divine Reputation Points.”
n“Follow the Heavenly Wood God to the Void Realm to find the God Annihilating Staff. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with 1,000 Divine Stones and 30 Divine Reputation Points.”
n“Note: Choose to follow the Heavenly Wood God and the players will automatically give up their right to the Final Battle.”
nWei Huo scratched his head. Which option should I choose? Although I can’t take part in the competition by choosing the second option, I feel like I can obtain something good by choosing it. Plus, if I catch an awesome creature like a Divine Beast…
nIn the end, Wei Huo chose to follow the General, as he had to participate in the competition. He was the only player in the whole Divine Realm. If he participated now, he would have the fewest competitors. He could not miss this chance!
nWhen Wei Huo made his choice, the Heavenly Wood God frowned. “I can’t contact the Divine Realm from the Void Realm. I need to bring a God with me. I choose Ye Yunxiao!”
nThe General nodded. “You’re right. I need a God to help me too. I choose Wei Huo then.”
nThe Heavenly Wood God left the temple immediately, while the General summoned over 100 soldiers to the Wang Family.
nWei Huo followed them closely. The Wang Family’s residence was located in another three-dimensional space. Wei Huo realized that the portal to this space was a pitch-black spiral tunnel. It was obvious that this was the entrance to the Instance Dungeon. However, due to the current plotline, Wei Huo entered the Instance Dungeon without any difficulty.
nAs soon as they all entered the Instance Dungeon, the General said loudly, “This is a serious matter. No one can escape. Guard the entrance! Wei Huo, follow me inside and capture the Wang Family Head.”
nWei Huo was confused.
nYou brought over 100 good soldiers, but we’ll barge in alone?
nWhen he arrived at the Wang Family’s gate, the General seemed like he wanted to push the door open. Wei Huo immediately warned him. “Don’t be rash. What if there are traps?”
nThe General ignored this and insisted on pushing the door open. As soon as he pushed the door open, a sharp arrow flew over and hit the General’s calf.
nThe General immediately squatted down and covered his calf. He frowned. “How despicable. He actually set up a trap in the door!”
nWei Huo was speechless.
nYou were the one who refused to listen!
n
nThe General turned around and looked at Wei Huo. “Wei Huo! It’s not convenient for me to move now. If I come with you, I’ll drag you down. I’ll let you execute the plan!”
nWei Huo was confused.
nDid you… trick me?
