nSince Aragon last disappeared, Li Yi had not seen him for a while.

nIn the eyes of others, Aragon was still in the straw, distributing quests there daily. However, to Li Yi, Aragon had long disappeared and could not be found even after turning Foreignland upside down.

nHe did not think Aragon would appear on Mount Pantheon.

n

n

nLi Yi bent down to check on Aragon’s state and realized he had only 1000 HP remaining, and it was decreasing steadily. If Li Yi had arrived any later, he would have died here.

nLi Yi took out a bottle of Sacred Tranquility and poured it in Aragon’s mouth.

nGurgle, gurgle…

nWith a bottle consumed, Aragon’s complexion turned for the better. The HP bar above his head grew swiftly.

n

n

nAragon slowly opened his eyes. “… It’s you?”

nLi Yi nodded. “Your Highness Aragon, why are you here?”

nHanding over another bottle of Sacred Tranquility, Aragon took it and took huge gulps.

nGurgle, gurgle…

n

n

n“There’s poison in the air, I was too careless.”

nAragon stood up from the stood, shaking his head and sighed bitterly.

nEver since Li Yi killed Genghis, Aragon had felt there was no need for him to stay in Foreignland. Hence, he quietly left and arrived here.

nAragon smiled at Li Yi. “Like you, I have always been curious about Ascension.”

n“Do you know why the Three Heroes of Humanity are immortal?”

nLi Yi shook his head. He really did not know.

n

n

nAragon chuckled. “It’s because the three of them went to the Ruler of Gods’ Palace.”

nLi Yi raised an eyebrow. “You mean they’ve seen the Ruler of Gods?”

nAragon shook his head. “I’m not too sure. Augustus told me that if I wish to know the answer, I should head to the Ruler of Gods’ Palace myself.”

nAragon turned to look and waved at Li Yi. “The flower and plant monsters are surrounding us, let’s head out.”

nTst —

nAt the swing of Aragon’s arm, a powerful blade aura was fired, taking out over a hundred flower and plant monsters dozens of meters away.

nLi Yi and Aragon left the Life God’s Palace together.

nNo players could be seen outside the palace.

n

n

nAragon pointed at the palace ahead. “Up ahead’s the Death God’s Palace but the Death God isn’t in there, only a bunch of opinionated Superior Gods.

nPast the Death God’s Palace was the Ruler of Gods’ Palace!

n“How many Superior Gods are there?”

n“Ten.”

n“…”

nWas it possible to defeat ten Superior Gods?

nLi Yi finally had a clear look as he closed in on the Death God’s Palace. The Death God’s Palace was not a dungeon but a building that was part Mount Pantheon.

n“Are we just going to barge in?”

n“There’s nothing terrifying about gods. As long as there is no fear in our hearts, defeating gods is simple.”

nAragon had his hands behind his back, and he entered the Death God’s Palace arrogantly.

nTst —

nWham!

nAt the flash of a blade aura, Aragon flew backward from the impact.

n

n

nUpon landing, Aragon spat out a mouthful of blood.

n“I can easily kill ten Moderate Gods but who would have thought I’m no match to a Superior God, even one against one…”

nAragon uttered with a pale face. The impact had left him heavily wounded.

nLi Yi took out two bottles of God’s Gift for his consumption.

nAragon’s eyes lit up. “These are God-tiered potions. Young man, you did well.”

nGurgle, gurgle…

nWith two bottles of God’s Gift emptied out, Aragon’s complexion returned to being bright pink.

n“There’s a total of ten Superior Gods in the Death God’s Palace with the strongest being the Sun God and weakest, the Thunder God. I’m about equal to the Thunder God but I can’t take even one hit from the Sun God.”

n“How do you think Augustus and the others made it past this stage?”

nThe gap between mortal and god was not a thin line. Li Yi could only be considered a demigod when he transformed into a Lightning Leopard, but it still would place him in a difficult spot to win against a Superior God, even more so against ten.

nIf they could not attack by force, the best course was a strategy.

nLi Yi checked his stats but was disappointed to find he was still not in possession of a Great God’s Brilliance.

nOh mother, how did Scumbag Wang and those bunch of idiots get it?

nLi Yi tried to walk into the Death God’s Palace but when he made it to the door, a whirlwind overwhelmed him, spinning him around. Like Aragon, he was blown out of the place.

nHis 2.1 million HP was reduced by more than half…

nSo, he could not barge his way in?

nLi Yi retrieved another two bottles of God’s Gift to drink.

nAfter his last upgrade on Evil God Summoning Scroll, there were 15 bottles of God’s Gift left. They came in handy now and were not put to waste.

nLi Yi poked Zhang Yan and found out after questioning that Zhang Yan has not added anyone, nor had any party members leave. They had been at it for 35 times now.

n35 times was insufficient?

nLi Yi was in a daze.

nTuning into Pantheon forums, Li Yi caught sight of an interesting piece of news.

n“There are idiots everywhere but even more this year. Take it from the bravely advancing Huashan Guild.”

nClicking on the post, it was a compilation video of the Huashan Guild fighting the Seven Demon Gods.

nIt was impossible to clear Seven Demon Gods with their current equipment and levels, but their perseverance was admirable. They kept going after each TPK and had not stopped…

nBased on the calculations of the poster, the TPK count was nearing 250 times.

nIn the beginning, the Huashan members were still wearing equipment but nearing the end, the durability of their equipment had hit zero, so they fought on with naked bodies. This method of play was a display of idiocy in the eyes of others, no less.

nBelow the post were comments taunting the idiots of the Huashan Guild.

nLi Yi helplessly sighed. “Who’s the real idiot here?”

nHuashan’s actions may be deemed foolish, but they had helped The Mountain. Without them, The Mountain would not have gotten his hands on three Great God’s Brilliances.

n“Great God’s Brilliance, as long as I have it… surely I can pass through.”

nAragon asked, “Great God’s Brilliance? What’s that?”

n“The power of the masses, it’s almost equal to Divine Power.”

nHe could not charge his way through with brute force, so Li Yi waited outside the Death God’s Palace for five minutes. The party led by Zhang Yan died more than twenty times, yet he still did not acquire any Great God’s Brilliance.

nShould he reveal his trump card here?

nLi Yi’s brows were tied up in a twist.

nAfter much hesitation, Li Yi took out the 100% completed Evil God Summoning Scroll.

nThis was his trump card!

n“Give me the sword!”

nJust as Li Yi was about to recite the incantations for the summoning of Evil God, Aragon extended his arm out towards him.

n“What sword?”

n“My Emperor Sword!”

nLi Yi retrieved Emperor Sword and handed it to Aragon.

nBuzz!

nAragon gently waved Emperor Sword, prompting a pure white glow over the blade, radiating light to its surroundings.

n“There’s a hidden ultimate Divine Spell on Emperor Sword, do you know what it is?”

n“What is it?”

n“Buzz!”

nAragon held Emperor Sword horizontally, walking into the Death God’s Palace with his head held high.

n“Bow down!”

n
