CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 337: THE COMING OF BYGONE DAYS_2

It’s just that I’ve undergone a Natural Baptism, so why do I suddenly look as handsome as me... Yang Qizhou was utterly disheartened.

Yang Qizhou asked carelessly, even with a hint of disdain, "How do you feel?"

’Mr. Death’ couldn’t contain the excitement in his heart and said enthusiastically, "Very good, ’lamp holder’ sir, I think there’s no better time than this. If ’Hermit’ sir were here, I’d be confident enough to crush him with one hand."

"Speak in more detail."

"Details, well... the Extraordinary Powers I obtained before by devouring the gift of the ’Deceiving Apostle’ have all disappeared, replaced by the Extraordinary Powers of the ’Natural Domain’... Specifically, I’ve obtained abilities like ’Natural Affinity’, ’Natural Blessing’, ’Beast Power’, and so on."

"It seems quite nice indeed; having received the ’Natural Baptism’, you dare to be so lively in front of me."

"As... "

’Mr. Death’, who was excitedly speaking and had just raised his head, saw the half-smiling expression of Yang Qizhou and suddenly felt as though a basin of cold water was poured over his heart, causing the last word to retreat in a shiver.

Yang Qizhou was very pleased with this scene and warned, "After the Asgard plot ends, go back to the ’Deceit Prison’ and stay there obediently. Don’t think about using this power to escape punishments, I will keep a constant watch on you."

This was no empty threat.

The ’King of Nature’, as a pillar god representing ’Nature’, had absolute control within the ’Natural Domain’, not to mention that the reason ’Mr. Death’ became a Natural Lifeform was due to Yang Qizhou’s baptism. Whenever he wanted, he could sense ’Mr. Death’s every move through the connection of the same ’symbol.’

"Rest assured, I will, I will definitely stay obediently in the ’Deceit Prison’ and accept reform." ’Mr. Death’ responded shakily. Spending this period with the ’lamp holder’ made him deeply realize just how terrifying this sole S-Class unrecorded player of the Deceit Bureau was; even if the gates of the Deceit Prison opened right before him, he wouldn’t dare step out.

The attitude was somewhat sincere,

so for now, I won’t take back the ’Natural Power’ on you,

Yang Qizhou thought to himself, then added, "Alright, continue with the game, and remember to inform me immediately if there is any news from the ’Deception Lord’. "

He then directed his attention to his phone upfront, preparing to spend the Old Sacrifice to enhance the rank of the ’Game Character’, thus further utilizing the King of Nature’s ’Power of Royal Authority’ and ’Spiritual Dragon’ among the three deities being shepherded, before having the game character handle subsequent events.

’Mr. Death’ naturally complied and immediately redirected his gaze.

But just as they were about to continue refreshing the text,

’Rumble, rumble’.

A massive tremor suddenly struck, as if the entire world had begun to shake; even a magnitude 12 tectonic earthquake paled in comparison to this level of vibration.

Yet, strangely... even with such intense tremors, the villa of Building 10 at Sky Mountain Garden not only remained standing but didn’t even have a single crack. Through the window, one could see other grand buildings in the Capital City also exhibiting the same phenomenon; the skyscrapers and steel jungles seemed utterly unaffected.

It was as if the colossal shaking was merely a conceptual occurrence, not truly happening...

"What just happened?" ’Mr. Death’s terrified voice rang, as in the moment of the treacherous shift, he felt some ominous calamity was about to occur.

Yang Qizhou had no trace of the ease and joy he had while shepherding the ’King of Nature’ before, nor any anticipation for subsequent plots, his gaze was solemn, his face heavy,

Unlike ’Mr. Death’, who merely felt the shake, he sensed much more. In that moment of treacherous change, the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune began issuing a resonant cry in his mind, something unprecedented besides Restarting Destiny Line.

Not only that...

Within the ’Star Realm’, a previously sealed Star Domain was showing signs of loosening, where the stars symbolizing ’Fate’ concepts were gradually intertwining with other ’symbols’.

Yang Qizhou murmured heavily, "Fate?"

"’Lamp holder’ sir, quick, look outside, what is that..." At this moment, ’Mr. Death’s terrified voice came through.

His view, through the showcase, focused on the Sky Dome above, his expression full of fear, his facial features twisted tightly together, and his entire body trembling violently, with a palpable yet invisible air of ’despair’ beginning to swell around.

What’s going on.

’Mr. Death’s overly intense reaction similarly gave Yang Qizhou a bad premonition, prompting him instinctively to look out at the sky beyond the window.

And then,

he was astounded.

What a terrifying sight it was.

On what should have been a clear, cloudless sky, the reflection of another world surfaced, like a mirage. Yet that world was so horrifying, so eerie, so despairing, filled with both mystery and unknowns, grotesque and bizarre coexisting, the sun not to be gazed upon, the night not to linger, dreams harboring calamities, the River of Death containing horrors, even gods would fall, even the sky would decay,

And outside this illusory world, many entities using galaxies as their lairs, difficult to describe, unnamable, indescribable, were lurking in the gaps between the two worlds, filled with malicious gazes, staring at the world where Yang Qizhou was,

Though he had never seen them,

though he only knew them through texts,

derived from ’Fate’s insights and ’spirituality’s reminders, Yang Qizhou still recognized the identities of several unnamable existences among them,

"Lord of Night, Dream Realm Sovereign?"

Immediately, an understanding dawned in Yang Qizhou’s mind; he guessed what had occurred, whispering complicatedly: "Fate... is converging. "

...

Deceit Prison,

Zhou Xu looked towards the sky, at the extremely terrifying world, his eyes revealing deep complexity.

He had initially been dealing with the aftermath of the Hermit Association’s invasion of the Deceit Prison, clearing the No-True Deception Secret Ceremony, when the violent shakes occurred, followed by this terrifying vision,

"Too early, too early,"

"The game characters had only appeared for half a year, the players’ average progress merely just out of the village, only a portion of elite players’ game characters could be active in the towns. With such game progress, how could we face the imminent strange and terrifying events. "

...

The Capital City, within another grand mansion.

’Mystic Cultivator’ looked at the abnormal scene in the sky, her beautiful eyes also revealing bewilderment and panic.

Someday, both worlds would intertwine, the game and the real world would overlap, and the Old Earth’s presence would arrive in this world, a future she had long since foreseen, yet like ’Zhou Xu’, the arrival of the Old Earth was far too early, catching her off guard, unprepared. In the ’Mystic Cultivator’s thinking, it wouldn’t have happened for at least another five years,

But only half a year had passed,

Was this world truly prepared to face despair and terror?

"Would ’lamp holder’ sir know the cause of all this? No, I’ll give them a call, no, I’ll go to Sky Mountain Garden No. 10 myself."

...

A private clubhouse somewhere, headquarters of the Rose Sect.

"An oracle, a true oracle has descended upon this world..." Lan Ji’s voice brimmed with excitement. Previously, the Rose Sect members acted on the instructions of the ’Divine Envoy’; such direct divine revelations were a first.

This attested,

that their worshiped god could now exercise some degree of influence upon this world.

The ’Demon’s Son’ and ’Human Slaughter’ evidently also heard the divine voices, impatiently flocking over, "I feel filled with power, this is the god’s gift... I have it, I have also received the oracle... this is the voice of the great ’Master of Millions’..."

"Seek ’Fate’. "

...

A young man hiding in a sewage-filled pipe somewhere unknown, covered in mud, shivering, clutching a phone as he kept refreshing something, suddenly looked at the sky, showing unparalleled excitement,

"It’s a deity..."

"A deity has answered my prayers."

...

On this day, the whole world was in chaos.
