CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 294: CHASING LIGHT VILLAGE_2

"A minute quickly passes."

"Your figure disappears into ’Land of Prayer Light’. "

...

They worship you as a ’god’, yet you actually want to get with them. Have you no morals?

While Yang Qizhou strongly condemned this, thinking of ’Lena’s true face, he had to admit, as one of the few women from the Old Land he had seen, she was indeed beautiful, possessing a unique charm.

It’s no wonder the game character felt a slight stir in his heart.

"But she is your believer," Yang Qizhou weakly reiterated, though she would never admit her true thoughts.

...

"You weren’t transported to ’Chasing Light Village’, but instead appeared in the nearby wilderness."

"You look ahead, where thick mist conceals, faintly showing the outline of firelight and a village."

"That must be Chasing Light Village... wait, could the severance of the Faith Channel be related to this thick, mysterious mist?" you ponder silently.

"Just then, "

"Several sharp, terrifying screams sound, large shadows pressing down, accompanied by the scent of blood."

"You remain calm, not even batting an eyelash."

"In an instant, the shadows overlap, cold lights intertwine, and the distorted shadows are instantly sliced into countless pieces, scattering everywhere. A ’black maid dress’ emerges from the blood mist, her fair face stained with crimson, yet she remains expressionless."

"This is... the evil creatures of the wilderness."

"You feel a surge of emotion, remembering the first arrival in this world filled with unknown and mystery, feeling how strange and terrifying the wilderness was, where any twisted being could easily kill you. Yet in such a short time, your enemies have become ’gods’ and ’Blasphemous Wizards’, these former threats no longer concerning you."

"Gathering yourself, you quickly ventured into the mist, using the faint firelight and the connection with ’Lena’ to determine the direction."

"A minute has passed, "

"Five minutes have passed. "

"Ten minutes have passed. "

"You can no longer remember exactly how long you’ve walked, just that it’s been a long time, yet still not seeing the shadow of ’Chasing Light Village’, the occasional blurry phantom appearing like a mirage."

"Night falls... "

"Light is swiftly replaced by darkness, in the eternal darkness countless eyes seem to open, filled with malice, terror, bloodlust, staring intently at their prey. Yet, that smudge of ’black maid dress’ keeps them at bay."

"Ha, this scene is quite familiar, remembering that just upon arriving in the ’Old Land’, the journey to ’Fire Stealing Village’ was the same, unable to truly approach the village due to the blessing of the ’Fire Stealing Ancient God’, resulting in delaying to ’Night’ where the creatures in the dark devoured and tore you apart."

"But it’s different now,"

"I am a Blasphemous Wizard shepherding ’gods’, also commanding a powerful Battle Doll."

"Thinking back, it really hasn’t been that long, "

"Wait a second... "

"Suddenly you thought of something, narrowing your eyes."

"Could Chasing Light Village, like Fire Stealing Village, have an invisible blessing, where you can’t approach unless specific conditions are met?"

"The reason you didn’t think of this possibility earlier was because ’Holy Light Ancient God’ has fallen, the blessing gone, the Divine Domain vanished. But now, thinking about it, the more you ponder, the more plausible it seems."

"But how to get inside?"

"[Residual Ring of the King of Truth][Heart Dream Source][Lost Night][Doomsday Lord’s Ring], all of your Quasi-legendary or higher enchanted items come to mind, finally focusing your attention on the [Residual Ring of the King of Truth]."

"Using the ’Super Legendary’ ancient object, though it’s a bit forceful, indeed is the most reliable."

"If even the [Residual Ring of the King of Truth] cannot pierce the mist to find ’Chasing Light Village’, then it proves the terror within exceeds the ’Divine Sovereign’, rising to the level of ’Ancient Old King’, it’s better to run as far away as possible."

"Quickly, you recall the moment of destiny holding the ’Residual Ring of the King of Truth’. "

"A massive ring with mysterious patterns emerges, silver-white flows flickering across, as the mist churns, seemingly manipulated by unseen hands, rapidly scattering to both sides, revealing a direct path to ’Chasing Light Village’. "

"This change startled the residents of ’Chasing Light Village’, figures bathed in hazy light appearing in the dimness."

"There among them is Lena, whom you haven’t seen for a long time... "

"Facing many eyes of hostility, vigilance, and suspicion, you walked to Lena and softly said... Long time no see, you’re still so beautiful. "

...

Wow, did I see that right? The game character can even flirt now? Yang Qizhou raised an eyebrow.

Glancing at the clock, it was 11:17. Yang Qizhou put down his phone. The ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ attempts had been exhausted. Previously, thinking the story content was harmless, he played a few more times, but now it’s different. The game character is clearly aiming to raid ’Chasing Light Village’s instance, the danger level unknown. If he encounters a situation requiring Restarting Destiny Line to escape, yet his attempts are gone, that would be awkward.

"Feeling a bit hungry, let’s have a midnight snack and continue the battle after midnight." Stretching, Yang Qizhou skillfully opened the takeout app.

Half a minute later.

"All outside the delivery range, what the hell?"

...

In the Capital City,

another hidden residence.

In a room filled with various mysterious and strange objects, the glow from the screen reflected in the eyes, ’Mr. Death’ wore a solemn expression, staring at the refreshing text above, not daring to relax.

"Ancient Abyss Apostle, favored of the great Deception Lord, you are the true dark side, you are all deception, you shall ascend the throne and become the eternal and immortal god. "

"A declarative prayer sounded in a dark and thrilling room, joined by dozens of others in the chant. "

"You gaze forward... "

"A twisted figure stands there, its face unclear, enveloped in the unknown, an eye opened in the center, with a dark hexagram pattern in its pupils."

"Suddenly, an evil, twisted, indescribable voice echoes,"

"The ritual is complete, the elements connecting to the ’Abyss’ are ready, my believers, don’t be impatient, soon my divine throne shall rise in the ’Star Realm’."

"My believers, revel in wild abandon, when I ascend the divine seat, this God’s Fortress shall become our ground of revelry."

"My believers, bellow freely, when I establish my divine kingdom, you shall attain eternal life in my realm."

"The devil’s whispers arouse the most primordial desires hidden within, the ’Deceiving Apostle’s believers let out fanatical cheers, as if already seeing the eternal life scenes in the divine kingdom."

"You performed wholeheartedly, blending into the fervent atmosphere, though a cunning smile graced the corners of your mouth."

"If you can become a god,"

"Then why can’t I?"

With the story up to here, ’Mr. Death’ set the phone down, no longer refreshing.

He returned to the desk, picking up his pen, first writing a letter to the ’Hermit’, then as he was about to continue, his finger paused, showing clear hesitation on his face.

After several breaths, ’Mr. Death’ seemed to make a difficult decision, writing line by line on the paper.

...

In Sky Mountain Garden.

While Yang Qizhou was moping about the inability to have a late-night snack, an envelope mysteriously appeared before him.

"Devil’s Envelope, Mr. Death?"

Opening the envelope and reading the letter quickly, Yang Qizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, saying, "All preparations are complete, around 2 PM tomorrow in the Real World, the Deceiving Apostle will hold its ascension ritual?"

After experiencing the ’Realm of Light’, ’Truth Hut’, and ’Land of Prayer Light’, Yang Qizhou was no longer particularly concerned about the ’Angel Envoy’ status of the ’Deceiving Apostle’, but its ascension ritual might facilitate another matter...

Meanwhile,

the clock hand struck midnight. "
