Chapter 96 - Did You Trick Me?

After Wang Yi left, Ye Yunxiao said, “Go to the temple and pass this letter to God. I’ll be there soon.”

Upon 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.

Han Yun slowly opened her eyes. “Ye Yunxiao, did you save me again?”

Wei Huo was speechless.

I saved you!

Ye Yunxiao said, “What matters is that you’re alright!”

Wei Huo thought to himself, Hey, this guy is changing the topic!

Forget it.

Wei Huo shook his head and prepared to head to the shrine with the letter.

After 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…

Wei Huo felt weird again. He had a bad feeling about this, as if…

It 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.

With 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.

Everything would return to normal when he walked through the school gate.

Then, Wei Huo would laugh at himself. I was just afraid of school.

Really? 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.

Wei 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.

The situation only improved after Wei Huo entered the temple.

He checked his Health and found a new attribute on the menu: Loneliness (Serious)

Wei Huo laughed. He had not felt lonely in hundreds of years, yet he felt lonely now?

He had to study electromagnetic science as soon as possible and solve two physics problems to console himself.

Wei 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.

The 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.

Wei Huo arrived at the palace and realized that the Heavenly Wood God was discussing something with the other two.

The General said, “The number of Divine Beasts exterminated outside the Divine Realm has increased recently.”

The Heavenly Wood God asked, “Why is there such an unusual phenomenon?”

The 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.”

The 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.”

The 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.”

At 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!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

You didn’t even read the letter…

The General said angrily, “The Wang Family is too ambitious. We cannot let them off easily. We should send a God to capture them immediately!”

The 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.”

The Family Head of the Chen Family said, “But the Divine Realm is really huge. Where should we look for the God Annihilating Staff?”

The 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!”

The 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.

They were waiting for Wei Huo’s choice.

Two more choices popped up in front of Wei Huo’s eyes.

“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.”

“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.”

“Note: Choose to follow the Heavenly Wood God and the players will automatically give up their right to the Final Battle.”

Wei 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…

In 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!

When 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!”

The General nodded. “You’re right. I need a God to help me too. I choose Wei Huo then.”

The Heavenly Wood God left the temple immediately, while the General summoned over 100 soldiers to the Wang Family.

Wei 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.

As 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.”

Wei Huo was confused.

You brought over 100 good soldiers, but we’ll barge in alone?

When 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?”

The 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.

The General immediately squatted down and covered his calf. He frowned. “How despicable. He actually set up a trap in the door!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

You were the one who refused to listen!

The 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!”

Wei Huo was confused.

Did you… trick me?
