Chapter 193: TMD, It Turns Out to Be the Holy Grail War!
Abyss Realm.
With a dizzying spin, ten Trial Participants from Full Moon Academy entered it.
An old and withered voice also rang out in their ears.
【At the intersection of hatred and anger, dusk and dawn alternate, war fires fly, beacon smoke rises everywhere, the Abyss welcomes a change unseen in a hundred million years, the Abyss's Loyal Dog, the Wrath Father God, raises the war banner in his hand, pointing his sword at the four directions.】
【He saw, he came, he conquered.】
【Whether it is the Shadowlands or the Tianming Continent, both seem to be his possessions.】
【But will the facts really be like that?】
【Trial Secret Realm: Wrathful Father God Territory.】
【Difficulty: th Stage SSS+】
【Main Quest 1: Survive until the war ends in the Father God Territory.】
【Main Quest 2: Enter the Father God Territory, go undercover there, and obtain a higher position.】

【Main Quests are parallel quests; all can be completed, or only one can be chosen to complete.】

Simultaneously/Also, please note not to leave your Own Body's real Surname in this World, otherwise, unimaginable consequences will be triggered.
【Are you ultimately passersby of history, or a part of history?】
【Gentlemen, I wish you all prosperous martial fortune.】
【Hehe.】
The voice by his ears gradually faded, and Big Boss opened his eyes.
For some reason, he always felt that the last "hehe" two words were very mocking.
Mu He and Karenina also woke up by his side, rubbing their eyes, obviously still in the daze of time-space travel.
This was also normal; the weaker the strength, the greater the influence of the Secret Realm. Someone like Big Boss, who was only Third Rank but almost unaffected by a 10th Rank Secret Realm, was the exception.
He looked around again and found that the scenery of this Wrath Father God Domain was completely different from the previous City of Deception, but almost identical to the Tianming Continent.
The same medieval-style architecture, the same magic fluctuations drifting in the air, the same Oil Lamps flickering on both sides of the road.
Such a sense of familiarity made Big Boss a bit dazed for a moment, and he doubted whether the game had a bug and the transmission failed.
What was even stranger to him was that the small village they were in was eerily quiet.
Moonlight like snow fell silently on the low bungalows; around the blue Oil Lamps, several unnamed flying insects fluttered; the creaking sound of door bolts swaying with the wind drifted into Big Boss's ears.
Not a single human voice.
Relying on that faint light, he gently pushed open the door beside him, squatted down, and touched the traces on the ground a few times.
Those were two traces that looked like they had been dragged by something.
The Blood Clan's night vision came in handy at this moment; he looked into the house along the dragging traces and found that there was not a single valuable thing in the darkness, only a mess left after being ransacked.
"How strange." Mu shook his head and lit a fire stick: "Where did these Demon Race run to? Could it be that the World Tree specially transmitted us to a place where no one lives so that we wouldn't be eliminated all at once?"
"Not necessarily, maybe..." Karenina patted Mu's shoulder, and in the instant he turned his head, she put the fire stick under her chin, revealing a fierce look: "Maybe we were transmitted into a haunted house~"
"Ahhhhh! Don't scare me!" Mu was so scared he hugged his head and scurried away, with a bang, his left foot tripped his right foot, he fell to the ground, and his head hit under the bed.
"Hahahaha, I say Mu, are you really the War God's Son? Is your guts too small?" Karenina covered her belly and laughed at him.
But she did not wait for Mu's retort.
A few seconds later, only the War God's Son's trembling voice, as if seeing a ghost, rang out.
He looked at the pair of eyes glowing with Ghost Light under the bed, his teeth chattering: "Big, Big Boss, heh, hehe, please take care of my great-grandmother for me."
"Under, under the bed, there, there is a face..."
Three minutes later.
Mu squatted on the ground with a face full of lingering fear, his forehead covered in cold sweat, even the lining of his armor was soaked.
And in front of him, the bed had been smashed to pieces, an Abyss Demon Race was kneeling in front of Big Boss and Karenina, his face full of humiliation.
Big Boss stared at him, looked left and right, and was amused.
"Heh, I say Luo Tian classmate, how did you appear here?"
Correct, this person was no one else, but Luo Tian who had previously appeared in the Shadowlands.
Previously Big Boss had refined all the Demon Race in the entire Shadowlands, only not refining him.
It was not that Big Boss Master was kind-hearted, but just wanted the reward of this Hidden Quest.
But he did not expect that before he could collect the reward, Dian Huo Niang Niang came back and dragged him to do it big time.
When he limped out of the room, he could no longer find Luo Tian's figure.
But he did not expect to actually meet him here.
And Luo Tian also recognized Big Boss, so he did not resist, sitting upright and kneeling on the ground, his lips trembling, unable to say a complete sentence, just repeating over and over:
"Dev, devil, devil."
"Ad, Adult, please, please..."
"Don't sacrifice me, I'm not worth money..."
It seemed that Big Boss's kindness had left a very deep impression on this Demon Race gentleman.
"I say Tian Brother, no need to be so nervous, aren't we friends?" Big Boss patted his shoulder.
But he never expected Luo Tian to suddenly thump his head onto the ground: "Boss, sir, please, how could I dare be your friend? Just treat me as nothing and let me go."
"Or treat me as an ant and stomp me to death."
"Stop playing with me, wuu wuu wuu wuu."
Li Cheng:...
Sigh, between you and me, there's already a class divide.
"Fine." Li Cheng patted him again: "Tell me, what happened in this town? And why did you run over here?"
"Yes, sir." Luo Tian wiped his face with snot and tears: "It's all because the Furious Father God wants to go to war with Transcendent Fire. To guarantee victory, he directly ordered forced conscription. Whether you want to or not, you have to join the army!"
"The demons in this town have all been forcibly captured!"
"Strange." Li Cheng looked at him doubtfully: "Aren't you eager to be reinstated and go to the battlefield? Logically, shouldn't you volunteer for the army?"
"Sir, I'm a believer of the Plague Mother Goddess, not the Furious Father God." Luo Tian wept: "Besides, going to war with Transcendent Fire Lady—one burn from her and the soul is gone. I, I'm afraid of dying!"
"Hehe, you're quite honest." Li Cheng smiled.
No need to think to know that the Furious Father God wouldn't tell these demons about Transcendent Fire's trait.
When the fighting starts, any demon ignited by Transcendent Fire won't even have a chance to return to the Abyss.
And the Furious Father God himself knows very well that to slay a monster like Transcendent Fire, existing forces are simply not enough, so he ordered forced conscription.
Looking at it this way, everything is just as I designed. The civil war between Transcendent Fire and Furious is now inevitable.
They're like two puppets, with me holding the strings.
Li Cheng's mouth corner slowly curled up.
"So you're hiding under the bed, trying to bluff your way through?" Karenina kicked his knee: "Tsk tsk tsk, Mu, you were actually scared like this by a coward. You really disgrace your father."
Mu: "..."
He silently swore in his heart that he absolutely couldn't let his old man find out about this, otherwise the Seven Matches Wolf would who knows how many times beat him black and blue.
"By the way, the thank-you gift you wanted to give me before—your so-called treasure, where is it?" Li Cheng asked again.
This is the reward for his hidden quest.
"Ooh, sir, I, I already took it out, it's here." Luo Tian looked left and right, looking reluctant as he pulled a box from his bosom and handed it to Li Cheng.
"You're sure it's not an erotic magazine?" Li Cheng glanced at him.
"I'm sure!" Luo Tian said without hesitation.
"Good." Li Cheng took the box and slowly opened it, his pupils shrinking to a point in that instant.
Only to see lying flat in the box was a cylindrical rubber object, with a small hole opened at the very bottom.
This turned out to be...
A cup! "Sir, this is a treasure from the previous era. It's said it can simultaneously simulate the unique sensations of three parts—a great invention transcending eras." Luo Tian explained seriously: "Ever since I got it, I've been reluctant to use it, saving it until now."
"Today, the cup meets its master. It can be said the cup has no regrets."
"Hehe." Li Cheng's mouth corner twitched as he slowly stood up: "Beat him up, make a big noise."
"Yes, Li Cheng Brother!" "Yes, boss!"
At his command, the two little ones rushed up and punched and kicked Luo Tian.
Mu went all out, determined to fully vent the humiliation of being scared just now.
Karenina was no less. Damn it, Li Cheng Brother hasn't even had a chance to use me yet, and you actually gave him a cup? You deserve to die! Wails rose and fell one after another in the silent night.
This noise also drew over the group from Full Moon Academy who had been transmitted here at the same time.
The leader Li Er frowned: "Damn it, it should be that first-year idiot. Making such a big noise, do they want to draw all the enemies over? What do they think this place is? An amusement park? This is a tenth-rank secret realm!"
"TMD, what's going on? How did the trial mission change from Tier 5 to Tier 10?" The student who had previously argued with Li Cheng fumed: "For this tenth-rank secret realm, we have absolutely no way at all!"
"Right, all of Mr. Kadan's arrangements for a year were completely wasted in an instant. What on earth is going on? I've never heard of a trial secret realm changing before!"
"TMD I was originally thinking I could make a big profit from this trial, but now... it's hard even to complete one mission!"
The other students also kept cursing angrily.
They had also gone through great hardship, continuously sucking up to Kadan, before joining the Genius Club and getting this chance to participate in the trial.
Who would have thought they'd encounter such a thing.
All their efforts came to nothing, and all the sunk costs before couldn't be recovered. How could they not be angry? "By the way, Big Brother Li Er, do you think this matter... could someone be manipulating behind the scenes?" A girl with pigtails, looking very well-behaved, asked.
"Hmm... impossible." Li Er thought for a moment and shook his head: "The World Tree Gate cannot be destroyed, cannot be observed, cannot be desecrated. If someone could manipulate the world inside this gate, then that person... probably wouldn't be much different from a god."
"How could such a big shot possibly set their sights on us weaklings?"
"This should just be a coincidental event."
"Is that so..." The girl nodded thoughtfully.
A god—such a great existence. If I could see one once in my life, this life would be worth it.
"Alright, stop arguing for now." Li Er coughed twice: "First go find those three idiots and tell them to stop making a scene!"
The group quickly arrived at the room where Li Cheng was.
Surrounding the trio.
Looking at Luo Tian being beaten by Karenina and Mu, Li Er frowned: "Li Cheng, keep it down a bit. This place should have had forced conscription; we can't be sure they won't come back."
"Oh?" Li Cheng looked at Li Er somewhat surprised.
This guy has no informants by his side. Just from the scene in the farmhouse, he analyzed what happened here?
He could be considered smart.
So he nodded and looked at the two little ones: "Hit harder, haven't you eaten?"
"And the one getting beaten, scream louder for me!"
"Got it, boss!"
Mu was just about to rest a bit, but hearing this, he beat even harder.
And Luo Tian's miserable scream also pierced the sky, resounding without equal.
"You TMD, didn't you hear what my big brother said?" a student snapped, rolling up his sleeves, magical patterns already flickering in his eyes.
The other students also looked at Big Boss with ill expressions.
They had originally planned to kill these three inside the Secret Realm and take everything they carried.
Originally, because the situation had changed, they had planned to wait and see.
Did Not Expect this guy would actually seek death himself.
Then it's No Wonder us brothers.
"You..." Li Er however Frowned, probing: "Did you intentionally make such a loud noise? Do you want to lure the Demon Race here?"
"What? Big Brother, how is this possible, is this guy crazy?" The students were Surprised.
"Hehe, you really are quite smart." Big Boss simply smiled while looking at Li Er.
That's right, he indeed intentionally made a commotion.
The purpose was naturally to quickly infiltrate the Wrathful Father God's sphere of influence.
You must know, Big Boss Trio has Karluoluo's Transformation art, they can become the Priest Trio at any time.
And the Priest Trio's status in Nu Nu Ling is not low; it can be said that as long as they reveal their Identity, the plan can quickly advance.
In This Situation, Big Boss Trio, unfamiliar with the place, had no need to go find where the Wrathful Father God's Armies were themselves; just wait for them to come knocking.
Li Er also roughly caught onto Big Boss's train of thought, of course he didn't know about the Transformation art, only thinking he wanted to complete 【Main Quest 2·Becoming a Spy by the Wrathful Father God's Side】.
Thus, he narrowed his eyes: "Big Boss, do you know, doing this, you're really playing with fire."
Big Boss still looked at him with a smile on his face.
"I Admit, you once perfectly Cleared a Seventh Rank Secret Realm, I also Admit Luck is part of Dragon's Strength." Li Er shook his head, Disappointment hanging on his face: "But you must understand, Luck will not always favor you, a Tenth Rank Secret Realm and a Seventh Rank are absolutely not comparable."
Li Er is a smart person.
Although he is only Fifth Rank, he long ago saw through Kadan's nature.
He was very clear that Save the World in Kadan's mouth was utter Nonsense, he was just taking the opportunity to cultivate his own Force.
And Li Er also needed Kadan's cultivation, so he did not expose Kadan, disguising himself as an obedient dog.
If this Secret Realm was still the Ruins of Rongdu, then Li Er would have No Hesitation following Kadan's plan to deal with Big Boss Trio.
But this Secret Realm changed.
A Tenth Rank Secret Realm, while having unimaginable Danger, also has incomparable opportunity.
If he could get a share, then his Li Er might just Ride the Wind.
So, his initial plan was to Meet Up with Big Boss, borrow Big Boss's ability to Clear the Secret Realm, and grow big and strong together.
But now, he was Disappointed.
This kid, without any Preparation, not even collecting any intelligence, directly made a commotion, wanting to complete Main Quest 2...
Making judgments directly under insufficient intelligence, whether it's a war or a Secret Realm Exploration, is a rather foolish thing.
Someone who can make this kind of Choice naturally cannot be called a genius.
This was completely different from the Big Boss in Li Er's Imagination.
He Stared into Big Boss's eyes and Sighed: "If that's the case, then Brother Big Boss, I wish you three early completion of this Spy Mission."
"Thank you." Big Boss still kept a Gentle smile: "Then what about you few? What plans?"
"We have no grand ambitions, as long as we can complete Task 1 and survive until the war ends, that's enough." Li Er responded.
This Secret Realm Exploration, if not a single Task is completed, will randomly lose one Ability from one's Own Body.
This will obviously cause Trial Participants' Dragon's Strength to drop.
Before intelligence is fully collected, he is unwilling to take this risk.
"Mm, then I also wish you success." Big Boss smiled: "Mm, then you all hurry and Walk, the Enemy will be here soon."
"Alright, farewell then."
Li Er cupped his hands, bringing the other six students, and left toward the shadows.
Watching their Back View slowly Disappear, the smile on Big Boss's face did not diminish.
He did not believe Li Er would just leave like this; presumably they wanted to use Big Boss as a stepping stone to see if this Spy Mission could work.
However, these seven were already Sacrifices Big Boss had internally designated.
He originally worried these people would die as soon as they appeared.
Now with someone as smart as Li Er leading them, Li Cheng Master felt reassured.
You all must live well until the time of sacrifice!
About five Minutes later, Cold Wind howled, an Air Breaking Sound came from afar.
A small squad of Demon Race flew out from the forest, arriving in front of Big Boss and the others.
These Demon Race had huge Bat Wings, and their ears were larger than ordinary Demon Race by a circle.
Big Boss recognized this kind of Demon Race, called Bat Earth Demon, Flight Speed extremely fast, Hearing incomparably developed.
He had played this so many times on PC, killed over ten thousand of them.
"Hehe, Sir, your Perception is indeed sharp, from so far away you know there's a lone Demon Race here." A Bat Earth Demon flattered.
"Hahaha, Low Profile Low Profile, you all just need to focus on cultivation, and you will surely reach my level!" The Bat Earth Demon official touched his chin, then looked at Big Boss and the others: "Mm, three most ordinary Third Rank Demon Race? Uh, there's also one..."
He carefully examined Luo Tian, beaten into a pig's head again, Doubtful: "Is this a Shapeshifting Demon? Why this Appearance?"
"Forget it, doesn't matter, who cares what he is. Cough, you all listen well, now, Wrathful Father God Sir is issuing Conscription Order, regardless of who you believe in or your Residence, you must Obey Orders."
"Okay, Sir, take us with you." Big Boss nodded.
"Hehe, I knew you would Disagree, but Disagreeing doesn't matter, you little ones, attack me, capture... wait, what did you just Say?" The Bat Earth Demon was stunned.
"I Say I Agree!" Big Boss also looked at him Doubtful: "Serving Wrathful Father God isn't natural and right? I since Ancient Times, have been Wrathful Father God's Anger Guard!"
"Ah this..." The Bat Earth Demon officer was completely confused.
Why doesn't this person play by the routine? Normally, shouldn't they either desperately resist or kneel and beg for mercy, crying for their parents and begging me not to capture them?
Why, when it comes to you, are you instead begging me to catch you? Like this, I really have no sense of participation.
The Bat Earth Demon officer thought for a moment: "Uh, do you know, once you're inside the camp, you can never escape again!"
Big Boss: "I know!"
The Bat Earth Demon officer added: "By then, you'll be forcibly dispatched to the frontline to deal with enemies you absolutely cannot defeat!"
Big Boss: "I also know!"
The Bat Earth Demon officer added again: "I'll also deduct your military pay, whip your magic body, and train you into a slave!"
Big Boss: "I still know!"
"No, brothers..." The Bat Earth Demon officer was completely confused: "You... do you have a masochistic tendency?"
"Alright, officer, hurry and take us few away. Donating our bodies for Father God is what we should do." Big Boss spoke righteously and sternly.
"You..." The Bat Earth Demon officer only felt his punch had hit cotton, possessing all his skills yet unable to display them at all.
The feeling that he was clearly the officer yet was controlled by civilians in judgment was very uncomfortable.
After staying silent for half a day like that, he coldly snorted: "Alright, take them all away!"
He decided that after returning to the camp, he would properly torture these few fools, letting them know that Father God's army is not a place for playing house.
Father God does not need soldiers without anger.
Starting from...
The Bat Earth Demon's gaze drifted toward Karenina.
Let's start from this pink-haired one.
She has fine skin and tender flesh; the cries when she's whipped must be very pleasant to hear.
She will certainly be very angry too.
Several Bat Earth Demons carried Big Boss and the others, walking toward the camp.
And in the shadows, Li Er and the others, who had originally left, walked back again.
"Boss, as expected of you. Following behind those three, we'll see if going undercover is feasible. If it is, we'll do it too; if not, we'll run away. Hahaha, what a great plan!"
"It's just a very simple plan, nothing worth praising." Li Er smiled lightly: "Everything is under our control."
