Chapter 316 - 315: The World of the Red Task!

Chapter 316: Chapter 315: The World of the Red Task!

Translator: 549690339

“Heavenly Court, assist me to reconstruct my flesh body!”

After reaching a thousand-meter position, Du Gang quickly entered the Heavenly Court space.

This was also his plan, relying on the Heavenly Court space to avoid his pursuers.

[Ding, detected rarity Gloomy Sun Grass, would you like to exchange it for a merit point?]

A merit point?

Du Gang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly rolled his eyes, “What a joke, this thing is worth just one merit point? Only a fool would exchange it with you!”

However, the light sphere in the space didn’t dwell on Du Gang’s words and quickly gave a response.

[Reconstructing the flesh body requires 100 merit points, would you like to consume 100 merit points?]

“Yes!”

With his affirmation, a force of mistiness appeared, which enveloped his divine person. Subsequently, his body slowly emerged right before his eyes.

Even with his flesh body recovered, there was still some time before entering a new minor world.

“Should I eat the Gloomy Sun Grass now?”

Du Gang’s main concern was whether the absorption of Gloomy Sun Grass would take too much time, and whether he would be caught off guard when the task began.

Thinking about this, Du Gang turned his head to look at the light sphere and asked, “What’s the price for the cultivation space?”

In the past, he had seen an option to exchange for cultivation space while checking what the light sphere could exchange. He didn’t give much thought to it then.

[Cultivation space: 1 merit point/Minute]

“That’s expensive?”

Du Gang was surprised. He didn’t expect that one merit point would only be worth a minute. Calculating it this way, an hour would require 60 points, and a day would require 1440 merit points.

With his merit points, he could, at most, open the cultivation space for two days.

Should I do it?

Du Gang was still hesitating. Despite the abundance of merit points, what mattered were his capabilities, especially when he was in the Heavenly Court. If the task was not completed, he would die completely.

“With more than three thousand merit points, what can I do?”

He shook his head. Virtually nothing could be done as the points were too few, and the good stuff couldn’t be exchanged.

“But if I consume the Gloomy Sun Grass, my cultivation progress will increase by one percent!”

“I’m currently at the Third Tribulation divine person. An increase of one percent will boost my combat power from 1800 to 2400...”

2400 meant that when he used the Jie-Character Secret, his combat power could soar up to 24000!

With 24000 combat power, he would be able to handle most situations.

“The peak warriors also have a little over 20000 combat power under normal circumstances...”

With that thought, Du Gang grits his teeth and makes up his mind.

Merit points can be earned again once they are spent, but if his life is gone, it’s truly gone.

At this stage, consuming the Gloomy Sun Grass can maximize the enhancement of his cultivation and strength.

“Light Sphere, exchange one minute of cultivation space for me. If I’m still in the middle of cultivation, automatically extend the time for me!”

[Activating the cultivation space!]

In the next second, Du Gang’s vision became blurry. When he opened his eyes again, he was in an ancient and fragrant place.

A quiet room with a meditation cushion, and there were also various auxiliary tools that could be used during cultivation.

Without having the time to look around, he quickly began to practice World Creation, and simultaneously swallowed the Gloomy Sun Grass.

“Boom!”

An intense energy suddenly flowed into his divine person, immediately followed by a strong sense of drowsiness. His eyes closed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he didn’t have any idea how much time had passed. It could’ve been an instant, or a long while.

Before he could figure out the situation, a small person who looked just like him emerged abruptly in his mind. The small person had no expression. The moment it appeared, it began to evolve the martial art techniques.

World Creation!

It was performed in the same way, but the martial art technique exhibited by the small person gave Du Gang a completely different feeling.

He understood, this was the effect of the Gloomy Sun Grass. Without any hesitation, he focused all his attention, observing every move and action of the small person for fear of missing out on something.

Actually, World Creation did not have any fixed moves. The learner could cut, chop, slap people with the blade face or hit people with the back of the blade.

What truly influences its power was a kind of indescribable charm.

Compared with ordinary martial art techniques, Du Gang felt that these Heavenly Level Cultivation Methods were more like a certain kind of fixed program.

Once the same frequency is found, it can be activated to release terrifying power.

Of course, it sounds easy, but in reality, it’s as hard as looking for a needle in the Pangu Universe.

The Gloomy Sun Grass was like a navigator with a positioning system, leading the user to remove the fog and reveal the truth.

Following the small person’s evolution, Du Gang’s clear enlightenment got more and more intense. His understanding of World Creation also deepened.

The distance between him and the small person grew shorter and shorter. It was as though he was standing at the periphery of a mirror and constantly moving closer.

Finally, when he got close enough to the small person, even to the point that he merged into the small person and started pulsating...

“Buzz!”

A ringing sound came into Du Gang’s ear, and he was shaken. His eyes regained their clarity and his sight became clear.

“Where is the small person?”

Upon waking up, the first thing on his mind was the small person – it was something he stole by risking his life and spent merit points to get.

The next second, he started to grin from ear to ear.

That’s because he realized that his martial art technique cultivation progress unknowingly reached 4%!

He did it!

Du Gang was elated. Immediately after, he remembered that he was still in the cultivation space. This wasn’t good as every extra minute spent there would result in a deduction of a substantial amount of merit points!

He hurriedly shouted, “Light Sphere, end the cultivation space!”

In the next second, his vision blurred again. He appeared to be back in the familiar independent Heavenly Court space.

The moment Du Gang came out, he quickly checked his merit points, then froze.

[Current merit points remaining: 3397]

“Eh?”

He raised his eyebrow, “I remember I had 3400 merit points. I still have that many left?”

He was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that only three minutes had passed.

But, wasn’t that very good?

Du Gang immediately broke into a smile, “Well done, Gloomy Sun Grass!”

Before he could do anything else, the voice of the light sphere echoed again.

[You will be teleported to a level 2 Mini World in three minutes. Please prepare...]

[Specific task will start after reaching the target Mini World...]

Upon seeing this, Du Gang began to think about what he needed to prepare.

“These merit points... I really can’t exchange them for any amazing items...”

Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly found the exchange list and exchanged for a few items.

Three minutes passed in a flash. At the end of it, a teleportation force appeared and enveloped Du Gang. In the next second, he was already in a different world.

It was still a special space that existed independently of the world.

Just like last time, Du Gang was the first to appear this time as well.

“It seems I still have the least mission experience!”

“I wonder what kind of people my teammates will be this time!”

With such thoughts, Du Gang suddenly froze.

He noticed that the purple force, representing the power of the Heavenly Court, was combating the force from the small world below.

Resistance is normal, as the Heavenly Court needs to open a gateway to this minor world.

However, the issue is, the color of the oppositional force... it is red!

“Red?” Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

Du Gang’s eyes suddenly contracted.

He recalled from his last conversation with Tao Xuanzhu and others in the previous world that she had once experienced a world of nightmare-level difficulty.

A world where the world power manifested as red!

At that time, of the nine people on Tao Xuanzhu’s team, the other eight were all at the Third Tribulation level, yet only she survived due to good luck.

Not only her, but Kou Yingwu also had an experience with such a red world.

He said that if it were not for some Merit, he would already have died!

The worlds they experienced were different, but there was one common point: the color of the world power resisting Heavenly Court’s purple force was red!

“Does that mean, I’ve also encountered this legendary red world?!”

Du Gang frowned, pondering if there was some special implication in this.

According to Kou Yingwu, when he experienced the red world, he had already traversed through several other worlds, and his cultivation had reached the Third Tribulation level.

Whereas in Tao Xuanzhu’s case, it was her second world where she encountered the red world.

“This world... is also my second world, is there a correlation?”

Du Gang sank into deep thought, trying to find a connection.

“The common point is the Third Tribulation level!”

“Whether it’s Kou Yingwu or Tao Xuanzhu, the main force in their world were all gods of the Third Tribulation level!”

“Like Kou Yingwu, there were no people below the Third Tribulation level in his team, and in Tao Xuanzhu’s world, except for her, everyone else was of the Third Tribulation level!”

[The world is opening, please enter the Play World within one minute...]

[Task Mode: Descent!]

[Everyone will descend into ordinary humans’ bodies...]

[Wolfman Kill]

[Nine people in total, split into two camps, the “Good People” Camp and the “Werewolf” Camp...]

[The “Good People” Camp consists of: one Prophet, one Witch, one Hunter, and five Villagers.]

[The “Evil” Camp has: one Werewolf!]

[The Werewolf, can come out at night to kill one person.]

[Prophet: After dark, gets one chance to check another player’s identity.]

[Witch: Owns one bottle of antidote and one bottle of poison. The antidote can save the person killed by the Werewolf, and the poison can kill whoever you suspect to be the Werewolf.]

[Hunter: Upon death, has one chance to take another person down with him. Note: If the person taken down is the Werewolf, then the Hunter revives.]

[Villager: You have to find the hidden Werewolf and bring him to justice.]

[Task: “Good People” Camp, find the Werewolf and vote to kill him. “Evil” Camp: Kill all other people.]

[Reward: One Merit Point.]

[Death Penalty: Erasure!]

“Huh? What’s going on?”

All nine of them were stunned. Listening to the voice in their ears and looking at the task list, they were stunned.

None of them had ever encountered a task like this, all their faces showing confusion.

“Descent? Does it mean stripping us of our physical bodies, leaving only our souls down there?”

“And what the hell is this Wolfman Kill game?”

[Please enter the Play World within thirty seconds, or be erased!]

As the crowd panicked, the electronic voice sounded again, leaving them no choice but to head towards the Play World below.

“Buzz!”

“Buzz!”

“Buzz!”

As everyone passed through the Play World, they all felt a force of seal, and then their souls were stripped out, flying out of their deified bodies, then out of their physical bodies, and then sheltered by the purple force belonging to the Heavenly Court, gently drifting downward.

“What is that place?”

Du Gang’s soul was enclosed by the purple power, slowly drifting towards what looked like a villa.

This villa was unique, surrounded by a terrifying red power that took the semblance of a sea of blood, freely roaming around the villa’s perimeter.

On the wall of the villa, a purple energy acted as a shield, seemingly separating it from the invasion of the red power.

“Is this the power of the red world?”

Even as he was encompassed by the Heavenly Court’s purple power, Du Gang felt a strong shock.

This a power full of destruction, brutality, and tearing. The resulting terror made Du Gang feel a little afraid, even worried that the purple power holding him might break.

“Hiss, hiss!”

His fear came true, the purple power wrapping his physical body began to tremble, as if being corroded by the red power, making an unpleasant sound.

“Faster, come on faster!”

At this moment, Du Gang could not help but feel anxious, hoping that the purple power would deliver him faster.

Luckily, their location wasn’t too far from the villa below. Before the purple power dissipated, all nine of them safely entered the villa’s front gate.

“Bang!”

There was a loud noise, and the villa’s front door closed tightly.

Despite that, everyone could still sense the horror of the blood-red power outside through the cracks of the door.

“Is this the red world?”

A somewhat fearful voice echoed out.

As this voice sounded, Du Gang froze.

They were all in a soul state, how could they be making noises?

He glanced around and saw eight guys who looked exactly as they did before.

“Wait, didn’t they say our bodies were left on top?”

Surprised that he could speak, he quickly reacted, and looking down, he found a young body beneath his chin.

It turns out that their souls had already attached themselves to an ordinary human body upon entering the villa.

Seeing this, Du Gang casually pinched his attached body, finding it very similar to a typical human’s.

Of course, to him, a regular human body would be similar to those of people on Earth.

But the others...

“What’s going on?”

“Why are they so weak?!”

Everyone else began testing the body they were attached to.

“This is an ordinary human body?”

“There’s no power at all?!!”

“This is just a weak toy that looks like us!”

Hearing this, Du Gang didn’t say anything, instead he just pretended to test it out too.

He hadn’t forgotten about this mission; it was a Wolfman Kill!

Although he didn’t know why game-like themes would appear in the mission world, he dared not to take them lightly.

If it was truly a Wolfman Kill game, then caution was needed. Otherwise, any discrepancy would make him stand out as the wolfman.

Right, it seems like they didn’t tell me my role yet!

Du Gang felt puzzled, apparently, the system didn’t inform him of his role.

Just as he was thinking, an electronic sound different from the system echoed through the villa.

[Please arrive at the central conference room within one minute to select your identity.]

Following the sound, the noise from the people finally ceased.

“Select our identity in the central conference room?”

Du Gang was regretting that he claimed to be good at reasoning beforehand. Otherwise, he could be hiding and keeping a low profile now.

But it can’t be helped, since he confessed his skills at reasoning in the beginning, he couldn’t change it now.

“Everyone, we all understand the mission. Right now, the most important thing is to go to the central conference room to select our identities. We can discuss how to play and how to complete the mission once the identities are done, right?!”

With what he said, everyone calmed down, nodded one after another, and following Liang Chu who took the lead, everyone followed.

Although Du Gang was the first to remind people to select their identities, he was the last to leave the living room.

He was memorizing the furniture placement in the room!

Regardless of whether it would be helpful, getting details right was his usual habit.

As he left the living room, he hesitated for a moment.

Outside the living room, to the left and right, were paths about one meter wide. And right ahead was a conference room with double doors.

The conference room wasn’t big; there was a round table at the center and a water dispenser in the corner.

The moment Du Gang saw the round table, subconsciously, he started counting the chairs.

Exactly nine! For the nine of them!

[Please sit in the seat corresponding to the number on your clothes.]

As another notification rang out, everyone checked their clothes.

Everyone’s collar had a two-centimeter number, numbering from 1 to 9.

Du Gang looked down; his number was 2, meaning he was Player 2.

Simultaneously, he quickly found the chair with the number 2 and sat down.

The chair was very simple, as if it was pulled out of a factory about to go bankrupt. It looked like just six iron rods with a wooden board stuck in the middle.

At this time, no one had time to pay attention to that.

Soon, everyone sat down nervously in their positions.

[Please remember your identity within three seconds.]

Another electronic sound echoed, followed by an old-fashioned camera-like object appearing from the ceiling above each person’s chair.

There was a shell that could completely cover a person in front of this camera. This was to prevent others from peeking.

Without needing to be prompted, everyone consciously put their heads up to it, with their eyes affixed to the two round black lenses that looked like binoculars.

These black lenses were very special as you couldn’t see anything without getting close.

But once you get close, you could see some text.

Du Gang, who knew how to play Wolfman Kill, was continuously repeating in his mind.

‘Have an identity!’

‘Have an identity!’

He had played Wolfman Kill on Earth; it was a game where the players with key roles could more easily decide the game.

Having an identity and not having an identity were almost like two different games.

Whether it is the prophet, the witch, or the hunter, they all had an easier time determining who the wolfman was.

Unlike the villagers, they are flying blind, seeing everyone as a wolfman.

When Du Gang saw the text behind the black lens, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He was a villager...
