n“Miracle of Wind!”
n“Powered-up Arrow!”
nLi Yi opted for Powered-up Arrow even though Eliminate Arrow has always been his first choice. If the target was at full health, Powered-up Arrow would deal higher damage.
nTst—
nThe flaming arrow spiraled as it flew, racing into Carulla’s brain.
n“Can you feel it? The charming floral scent…”
n“Smack!”
nCarulla had not even finished her mumbling when Li Yi’s arrow penetrated her brain. A golden -21,223 damage emerged, followed by a pale purple glow emanating from Carulla’s body.
nGod’s Territory!
nUnless the player was upgraded to God-tier, all attacks on Carulla at this point were ineffective!
nKaboom!
nMurky clouds overtook the sky, hovering on top of Li Yi’s head. Scha! A thick fat lightning struck down on him.
n-7654
n“Camouflage, Pseudocide…”
nScha! Scha!
nAlthough Li Yi had made preparations, the fat lightning bolts came one after another, with no signs of stopping, determined to take him down.
nLittle Elf from the Magical Realm could not keep up with the healing. Li Yi attempted with all his skills to break free from battle but to no avail. Dodging to left and right proved futile with the lightning in the sky locked in on him. No matter where he went, lightning followed.
nBy the fifth lightning strike, Li Yi was found lying on the ground…
nA golden achievement column appeared.
nYou’ve obtained Sinner of Divine Punishment achievement.
nWith Li Yi dead, the dark clouds evaporated in the sky. The commotion had startled the players in Celestial Capital. They ran over to see what was going on.
n“Walk further away from me, Little Elf. Battle resurrect me…”
nLi Yi felt a little helpless.
nLittle Elf from the Magical Realm stood at the furthest distance possible before battle resurrecting Li Yi.
nLi Yi revived next to Little Elf from the Magical Realm. Carulla did not attack him because he was hidden from her sight. However, there was an irremovable debuff on him.
nGod’s Punishment!
nAll your attributes are reduced by 50%. As you walk, there’s a 10% chance of triggering the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment. When you farm monsters, there’s a 20% chance of triggering Thunder of Divine Punishment. When you’re being healed, there’s a 30% chance of triggering negative effect, reducing healing effects. These effects will last for seven days.
nYou’re useless for the next seven days! This is a punishment from God.
n“Are you still gonna try again?” asked Little Elf from the Magical Realm.
n“No, let’s go.”
nLi Yi was feeling down.
nThe chances of getting a Critical Hit and breaking guard together were slim. He did his calculation earlier but it was a shame these two effects did not turn up at the same time. Man may propose but God could dispose.
n“Still not quite there.”
nLi Yi got up his Holy Light Warhorse and left.
nWhile on the way, a shroud of dark clouds followed the top of his head, unleashing lightning from time to time, roasting him good. Fortunately, he had some potions handy to recover HP as healers would do him no good at this point.
nThe Celestial Capital became the heart of all major cities in the Continent mainly because of a platform in it. Teleportation doors surrounded the platform which connected to any major city in the continent.
nIt was fairly convenient and saved players a lot of time, especially in the game’s later stages. Players could dig up another Return City Stone through Archeology life skill and bind one on Celestial Capital and another on any other major city. The convenience of teleportation doors allowed instantaneous travel to anywhere within the continent.
nLi Yi did not return to Shattered Frost City. Instead, he went through Celestial Capital’s teleportation door to Silver Moon Celestial Capital, the major city of the White Elves.
nLi Yi had Worship in all major cities in the continent but inside Silver Moon Celestial Capital, all NPCs’ attitudes were yellow Neutral. There were even a few radicals in pale red. This was an early sign of Aggro. If Li Yi offended them in the slightest, they would not hold back from killing him.
nLi Yi was walking and stopping, drinking potions whenever Divine Punishment was triggered. The short journey took him over half an hour before he reached the destination to meet the White Elf Priest.
nLi Yi was here to turn in a quest. Now that Sif has returned to Silver Moon Celestial Capital, the princess search quest was completed. This was the only way to banish Aggro between both parties.
n“Oh, I see. It seems we may have misunderstood…” White Elf Priest apologetically bowed before Li Yi. The color of his name had turned to purple, a sign of Worship.
n“Princess Sif has been in low spirits since her return. Hero, are you willing to pay her a visit?”
n“It would be my honor.”
nAfter an exchange of pleasantries, White Elf Priest granted Li Yi authority, enabling him to freely meet Princess Sif.
nArriving at Magic Platform of Silver Moon Celestial Capital, Li Yi found Princess Sif in a grand looking bedroom.
nAs Li Yi had released Princess Sif and turned in the princess search quest, Princess Sif was now present at Magic Platform. However, this was only available to Li Yi. Other players would not be able to see her here.
n“It’s you! Guards! Guards!”
nThe moment Princess Sif saw Li Yi, she got scared and yelled. She was a high-level NPC and possessed memory of the past. She would never be able to forget what Li Yi had done to her.
n“No need to yell. Didn’t you tell them not to bother you?”
nLi Yi chuckled as he made his way up, causing Princess Sif to fall to her knees.
n“This princess outfit doesn’t suit you. I’ll acquire a Succubus equipment set for you the next time.”
n“What… What are you doing here?”
n“Look at me, punished by god,” Li Yi helplessly sighed.
n“Retribution for your evil-doings, I see,” Looking at the state Li Yi was in, Princess Sif broke into laughter.
n“Oh please, I never made things difficult for you for the year we spent together. Why the hate?”
n“You didn’t make things difficult for me? You had me working my ass from day to night, so much until I passed out from fatigue. You even got me blowing the flute, blowing blowing blowing until my mouth was sore yet you never let me stop. God of the Elves punishes an evil person like you. Your current state is the best proof of it.”
n“Well, you had a stubborn mouth on you. If you had distributed the quest earlier, we would have been best friends. Moreover, would you still be a princess if I never let you come home? You must remember to repay this favor.”
nLi Yi’s words stunned Princess Sif.
n“Repaying debts of gratitude, even if it means paying with your body has always been your White Elves’ qualities, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten this, little princess.
nPrincess Sif was lost in her thoughts.
n“You’re right but what you did to me…”
n“Wasn’t it I who let you go? Forget about anything else, did I or did I not?”
n“… You did!”
n“If it weren’t for me, you would still be a slave. You were lucky to bump into me. If it were some perverted thug who forced you into prostitution, wouldn’t you be in a worse state?”
n“… Yes!”
n“I can be considered a good person among the bad. So, you’re in debt to me and you shall pay me back, isn’t that right?”
n“… That’s right!”
n“Okay, that’s the way to go,” Li Yi nodded with satisfaction.
nSystem Notification: After communication on a deeper level with Princess Sif, you have earned her trust. Her attitude to you now has changed to Friendly.
nPrincess Sif sighed and took a short red stick out to open up a teleportation door. She waved at Li Yi, “Follow me in.”
nLi Yi traveled through the teleportation door to a spring.
n“This is the secret place of the White Elves, the Spring of Life. Only the Elf Queen is able to grant entry and only the White Elves’ most worshipped hero could enter here for cleansing…”
nSplash!
nBefore Princess Sif could finish her sentence, Li Yi had jumped in. The constant Thunder of Heavenly Punishment was driving him nuts. The sooner he cleansed himself, the sooner he could be relieved.
nYou’ve soaked in the Spring of Life, the negative effects on you have disappeared…
nYou’ve soaked in the Spring of Life, your basic Health has increased by 10 points…
nYou’ve soaked in the Spring of Life, your basic STR has increased by 10 points…
nYou’ve soaked in the Spring of Life, your basic mana has increased by 10 points…
n…
nSeeing his permanent attributes surge every 20 seconds as a result from bathing in the Spring of Life, really had him jumping for joy.
nEvery player in the King of Pantheon had the chance to soak in the Spring of Life but two conditions must be fulfilled in order to come to this place. The first was to earn Worship of the White Elves while the second was to have Princess Sif become Queen of Silver Moon. These two conditions came hand in hand.
nThe first condition was easy to achieve just by turning in daily quests in the White Elves’ major city. The second condition, on the other hand, was tricky. Finding Princess Sif was one problem while putting up with her bad temper alongside giving her expensive instruments was another problem.
n“Little princess, why don’t you join in for a bath?”
nLi Yi bathed comfortably, not forgetting to invite Princess Sif in. This action resulted in Princess Sif’s face turning sour and her Affinity dropping by ten points.
n“Come out, Mermaid Princess!”
nLi Yi let out Mermaid Princess. He did not know what the consequence be for letting her out but it was a rare soaking opportunity. If he did not have a mermaid swimming around him, life would have one less piece of happiness.
n“The water here is soothing…”
nMermaid Princess Freya closed her eyes as she moved her mouth closer to the water, sipping bit by bit greedily…
nMermaid Princess was so occupied with drinking until she felt a foreign object in her mouth. She opened her eyes to look. Li Yi’s finger was jammed in her mouth.
n“Drinking bath water? You’re a princess, you know, don’t you think this is beneath your dignity?”
nMermaid Princess glared at Li Yi, spitting his finger out and swam afar. Her Affinity towards him dropped by 50 points.
nYour mount, Mermaid Princess Freya has drank the Spring of Life, her SPD in water has increased by 20%
nYour mount, Mermaid Princess Freya has soaked in the Spring of Life, MP comprehension has increased by 20%
nYour mount, Mermaid Princess Freya owes gratitude to you. Affinity has increased by 10,000 points. Her attitude to you has changed to Like.
n“Like?”
nThis time, it was Li Yi who was dumbfounded.
n…
