Chapter 254

Listening to Peanut Old Deng's words, Big Boss now realized that this version of the game really had a lot of new plot added.

Basically, it took all the vague parts of the original background story and crushed them up to tell the player.

Although it still used fragmented narrative, the information quantity was much better than in the PC version.

This ghost game's PC version could only rely on weapon and item descriptions to guess what the plot was actually about.

At least it told the story properly — Big Boss evaluated it so.

But at the same time, he also felt very strange.

Had Miyazaki Hidetaka and Yang Hidetaka changed their nature? How could they tell the story properly? Although this was a panoramic game cabin... it was still a bit too realistic.

"So, the Raging Mother Goddess was betrayed by the Plague Mother Goddess and died?" Big Boss raised his eyebrows.

"That's not necessarily so." The avatar old man tapped his magic staff: "How to put it, this Raging Mother Goddess, who knows if it was good luck or bad luck."

"At the moment of being eaten, she encountered Lani, and at that time, she hadn't started taking medicine yet."

"Ah this..." Big Boss smacked his lips twice, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Encountering that mental illness, the Witch of Death, was indeed Schrodinger's luck and misfortune.

"So, she was saved?"

"I don't know the specific situation either, for details you go ask Lani, 'Naya' sir." The avatar old man smiled cheaply.

This Naya was precisely the title Big Boss had come up with back then to fool Lani.

But Big Boss, what kind of thick-skinned face, hearing these words, face not red, heart not jumping, just like this chuunibyou had nothing to do with himself.

"Alright, the secret has already been told to you, leave here, go do whatever you should do." The avatar old man said impatiently again.

"That's it?" Big Boss doubtful: "Shouldn't you give me a new task or something?"

"What task would I give a dead person?" The avatar old man looked Big Boss up and down: "Tsk tsk tsk, I already told you, I told you this secret, the Plague Mother Goddess likewise has recognized you."

"Do you think she would tolerate a person who knows her secret, living in this world?"

"Big Boss, from now on, the ones pursuing and killing you won't be that melon skin Raging Father God, but the Plague Mother Goddess, this terrible existence who grasps Abyss Power."

Listening to the old bastard's mocking words, Big Boss couldn't help but frown.

And the avatar old man seeing him like this, only felt he had fiercely vented a mouthful of bad anger, continued to sneer: "Tsk tsk tsk, yes, you are very smart, you guessed right, I indeed don't want you to save Leina alive."

"But you guessed one thing wrong, actually, whether you choose Option One or Option Two, it makes no difference to me."

"You are destined to have no way to save the Eternal Sleep Witch Leina."

"Two options, what they affect is not me, but your life. Now, you have made your choice, then go welcome your death, hehe."

"How, how can this be!!!"

Big Boss hadn't spoken yet, Lilith Cat hugged her head, shaking: "Hey, old thing, how can you treat Big Boss like this! He at least did quite a few things for you!"

"What did you call me?" The avatar old man narrowed his eyes.

"Cough cough, old, old grandpa." The puppet cat grinned embarrassedly.

"Heh, said how many times, outside, must call title, must call me Avatar Old Man, understand?" Old bastard blew his beard and stared, mocking beyond measure:

"Also, what he helped me do a lot of things, World Tree's Secret Realm Exploration, always emphasizes Equivalent Exchange, all the things he did, I paid reasonable compensation, I don't owe him anything."

"This dead end, is what he chose himself."

Hearing these words, Big Boss instead became even more surprised.

He had always thought this Peanut Old Deng stood on Tianming's side, but now it seemed, it wasn't like that.

His identity, instead was more like Absolute Neutral.

"Alright, hurry up and leave here, don't disturb me getting off work." The avatar old man yawned: "Every time meeting you this Initial Rising Dong Xi, I have to work overtime for a very long time."

"But now it's good, from now on no need to work overtime anymore, jie jie jie."

Big Boss thought a bit, with his current strength, indeed no way to deal with a Plague Mother Goddess comparable to a True God.

This also no way, who knew the secret behind would pull out such a defying heaven Hidden Boss.

Circumstances stronger than people, Big Boss immediately chose to go with the flow, bowed with hands clasped: "Old sir, just now I was very disrespectful. Please old sir put down prejudice, together with me, pray for blessings for the common people of Tianming Continent!"

"Hehe."

The avatar old man smiled without sincerity.

When nothing's up call me Peanut Old Deng, when something's up, call me Old Sir...

Still pray for blessings for all common people?

Hehe, is that your line, this Initial Rising Dong Xi?

Still want to morally kidnap me? No way!

Hmph hmph, now know you're wrong? Too late!

He narrowed his eyes, decided to properly kill kill this Initial Rising Dong Xi's sharp spirit, must make him sincerely admit fault, determine to reform and start anew.

He, the dignified World Tree's Avatar, wherever he goes is revered, how like now, every day eating a belly full of farts.

Thinking here, the avatar old man mocked a laugh: "Tsk tsk tsk, Big Boss ah, I have nothing to help you, this is all the road you chose yourself."

"Old sir." Big Boss frowned, devoutly: "I can add money."

"Add money, add how much... cough cough, what add money, old man is a cultivated person, absolutely won't accept bribes, you just don't think about it!" The avatar old man coldly laughed again.

"Then, I introduce two Little Nan Liang to you? How about it?" Big Boss continued to propose.

"Not how! I don't like Nan Liang!"

"Then South Tong? I know a South Tong, called Li Er, also not to mention, fair skin beautiful appearance long legs, looks a talent, most important is, fetish also quite unique, eight big breasts men can all accept."

"Scram to the side! I also don't like South Tong!" The avatar old man's forehead veins bulging: "You just don't struggle, hurry up and go out to die."

"Die early reincarnate early, next life when you see me be more respectful, heh."

"Hateful ah meow, this old guy, impervious to reason ah meow!" Lilith viciously stared at the avatar old man, if not she couldn't beat this goods.

Now would have to rush up, directly give him a wave of crazy Cat Cat Fist.

Meanwhile, her heart sank.

Damn it, I didn't expect this journey to save the world to end like this.

After all my calculations, I never expected the Abyss to hide a peerless Sword Tomb like the Mother Goddess of Plagues.

Big Boss had already done everything he could; encountering this kind of thing really wasn't his fault.

"Sigh." With a sigh, Lilith's cat ears drooped.

Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to use the Transfer Technique to take Big Boss away from this World.

Although this would declare her Great Cause of formal appointment a failure, at least she could save Big Boss's life.

In this journey of less than a hundred days, she had already regarded Big Boss as her Master, uh, no, as a companion; as Lilith Cat, she would never just sit by and watch a companion die.

And...

Once she took Big Boss back to her own World, he would realize he wasn't playing a game, but had already transmigrated, right?

By then, she would reveal her true form and strike out as a white-haired, red-eyed nun of Disaster Face and Alluring Beauty—could she still fail to win him over? Sai Weng Lost Horse, who knows it's not a blessing? This time, she might not lose after all! But...

It still felt such a pity...

She already knew so many secrets.

Lilith sighed, not even using her exaggerated Color Art.

But Big Boss still didn't look at her, only staring at the Avatar Old Man: "This won't work, that won't work; it seems you really can't help me."

"Yes, I can't help you, tsk tsk tsk." The Avatar Old Man continued mocking: "Your death is already a settled Bureau."

Actually, he still had some methods.

For example, shifting the pot to Xiu Si Da Er was a very cost-effective Operation.

But to blunt Big Boss's edge, he still chose mockery.

Only by letting this nascent Dong Xi feel despair from his Own Body could he possibly make him a Subject, and better facilitate future work.

He snorted twice, stroking his Beard, his Birth almost catching up to Big Boss: "Stop struggling, the end is set, leave here quickly."

"..." Big Boss looked at him twice, seemingly confirming he couldn't help himself, then curled his lips: "So you're just a useless waste; I wrongly called you old man a few times just now."

Avatar Old Man: 彡(-_-;)彡

Okay okay okay, so that's how it is.

"Hehe, angry from embarrassment? Tsk tsk tsk, truly a foolish struggle."

"Angry from embarrassment? Struggle?" Big Boss looked at him strangely: "Lao Deng, what are you talking about?"

Saying this, he condensed an Invisible Blade of Qi with his right hand, aiming at his own neck.

"Hah, want to use death to probe me? Useless!" The Avatar Old Man smiled mockingly: "I said, I don't care if you live or die—wait!"

Halfway through his words, the Avatar Old Man suddenly froze.

"What do you want to do? You wouldn't plan to use Regeneration Regression to return to before knowing the secret, would you?"

"Yeah." Big Boss nodded: "Since you're unwilling to help, I'll just have to Rewind; well, don't worry, I'll definitely Exploit you properly later."

Saying this, he showed the smile of a Sunny Cheerful Big Boy.

Yes, this was his plan: return to the start of the conversation with Lao Deng, choose Option One, not listen to this secret, and instead take the Blessing he promised.

Anyway, he had already heard this secret once and didn't need to hear it a second time.

Knowing the secret ≠ I don't need your Blessing.

Very reasonable!

"You TM... you can't do this! You, you can't be this Defying Heaven!"

Now it was the Avatar Old Man's turn to be Anxious: "You, a nascent Dong Xi, you're not allowed to Rewind, you're not allowed to Rewind! You, you TMD can't cheat the Blessing out of my hands, I*************!!!"

Outputting hundreds of characters of Curse Words in succession, the Avatar Old Man no longer had his former cultivation, and pounced at Big Boss.

But Big Boss had already given a Crooked Mouth Evil Smile and slashed out the Invisible Blade in his hand.

In an instant, he met his death.

Just then, he said softly: "Sorry, let's play another round."

Immediately, his Two Eyes sank into darkness.

The last image in his sight was Peanut Old Deng's Anger Helplessness Surprise—I knew... wait, that face with complex emotions mixed together.

Opening his eyes again, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"So, do you choose Option One or Option Two?" "I choose one."

Big Boss's answer had not a trace of Hesitation, his gaze firm as if wanting to join the sect.

This time, it really left the Avatar Old Man at a loss.

He looked at Big Boss with small eyes wide open, always feeling something was off.

After thinking, he grinned: "Hehe, I must have misheard, Big Boss, you just chose two, right? Listen to me analyze carefully, the benefit of choosing one is—"

Big Boss: "I chose one."

Avatar Old Man: "..."

This kid, isn't he off?

How did he Change Nature?

Wasn't he usually full of contrary bones, saying East when I say East, but he insists on saying West?

You like this, makes me look like a melon...

The Avatar Old Man blinked again, probing: "Hmm... won't you consider it?"

"Won't consider it."

"Perhaps that secret is very important..."

"Then still won't consider it."

"Ah this..." The avatar elder was completely confused.

He looked at Li Cheng's eyes, but saw only a pair of pure, flawless, clean eyes.

Revealing a touch of innocent beauty.

"Then, then alright, since you've already achieved realization, I don't need to help you anymore."

No matter how you put it, since the objective has been reached, the avatar elder naturally wouldn't seek boredom for himself.

Getting off work early is the way to go.

"Then, the final sett—"

"Wait a minute!" Just then, Li Cheng reached out his hand.

"What do you want now?" The elder frowned: "Wait, why did I say 'again'..."

"I have just one request: after the settlement blessing, don't transmit me out of the Abyss." Li Cheng emphasized.

Now knowing that the Wrath Father God's divinity was stolen, Li Cheng's thinking had already changed.

First set a small goal: steal his divinity into his own hands.

After going through untold hardships... well, not really that much hardship, after all the Demon Race bore the burden for him.

Anyway, after making a series of schemes, he couldn't be transmitted out of the Abyss, otherwise going back and forth would waste a lot of time.

"In that case... it works, but transmission happens all together." The avatar elder frowned: "If you don't want to go, then the other trial participants can't leave either."

"Don't worry, they don't want to leave either, we still have a great mission undone." Li Cheng spoke righteously and sternly.

"Are you sure?" The avatar elder was dubious.

"I say, old bastard, I didn't even listen to those two incomparably precious secrets, so you helping me with this one small favor isn't a loss, right?" Li Cheng said impatiently.

"Hmm..." The avatar elder mused, nodding.

Indeed, compared to the chain reaction triggered by those two secrets, keeping the trial participants in the Abyss doesn't count for anything at all.

"Alright then, final settlement!" The avatar elder waved his hand, declaring the end of this trial.

"Li Cheng, in this trial you obtained the title·Tian Ce God General (SSS Rank), one person below, ten thousand above, the actual controller of military power in the Wrath Father God Domain!"

"Not only that, you also became the Hengshui Camp Principal (S Rank), turning all soldiers in the northern Wrath Father God Domain into a breeding ground for the Power of Regeneration!"

"Most terrifying of all, you are not only a participant in this trial, but also the hidden mastermind behind the scenes! The conflict between Dian Huo and the Wrath Father God arose because of you, the tragedy of the Wrath Father God Domain was personally directed by you!"

"You are chaos taken to the extreme, terror taken to the extreme!"

"Your birth level makes the Demon Race tremble, your performance art makes me doubt your species!"

"In this trial, the final ratings of your three main missions are all SSS Rank, your final settlement grade is: EX Rank!"

"Now, speak your wish, I will bestow it, a blessing that will satisfy you!"

The avatar elder finished reading the speech he had long prepared, gazing at Li Cheng: "Alright, Rising Dong Xi, speak, what exactly do you want?"

"That's it?" Li Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you would amplify my blessing?"

"Of course, you don't need to worry about that, I never go back on my word, speak your thought."

"In that case, I need a blessing that can amplify Dragon and Blood Clan power." Li Cheng thought and said.

His health bar was already long enough, his body hard and thick, durability peerless.

The only thing lacking was attack power and destructive power.

Of course, Li Cheng had also thought about asking for a Forbidden Spell.

After all, because of the Power of Regeneration, his total spiritual power might exceed that of an entire country's mages, so he didn't need to worry about being drained dry by a Forbidden Spell.

But Forbidden Spells take too long to chant, and don't quite match Li Cheng's combat style.

Thinking it over, amplifying the power of the Blood Clan and Dragon Clan is still more reliable.

Moreover, Li Cheng knew very well that according to the PC Version settings, the avatar elder has quite a few blessings of this type.

"In that case, let me think..." The avatar elder extended his hand, pointing virtually at Li Cheng.

The pendant he always wore around his neck floated up.

This was still the ornament Master Tata gave him, its effect was sensing danger that could kill him.

"Hmm, this thing's raw material is a fragment of the Blood Clan Sacred Artifact·Crimson Hand, hiss, such crude carving technique, tsk tsk tsk, truly a waste of a fine thing."

Li Cheng: "..."

Please don't blame Master Tata anymore, the fact she could make this thing already satisfies me greatly.

After all, the raw material for this pendant was her mother's relic.

Such a filial Blood Clan is rarely seen.

"But it's also thanks to this material that it can contain this vast might." Speaking, the avatar elder gripped the pendant.

The next instant, golden light flared, a crimson phantom appeared behind Li Cheng.

Appearing simultaneously was a giant dragon's roar.

"Hmm, little rising one, you are indeed special, whether it's the Blood Clan's royal blood or pure-blooded Dragon Clan, both are rare bloodlines hard to find even in other world bubbles of the World Tree."

"Yet you actually possess both, hehe."

The avatar elder couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of such good things being in this Rising Dong Xi's hands, he felt quite annoyed.

After a while, the lights vanished, the pendant slowly falling into Li Cheng's palm.

【Crimson Hand Amulet (Unique): Crafted by Blood Clan Princess Latanaya using the blood hand fragment left by her mother, then blessed by the World Tree Roots avatar relic, its rating is on par with Abyss Divine Artifacts.】

【The amulet contains the power of the Blood Clan and Dragon Clan, long-term wear can amplify this bloodline.】

【Effect 1: When you wear this amulet, all your Blood Magic consumption -70%, effect +70%.】

【Effect 2: When you wear this amulet, you can use Dragon Language Magic·Word Spirit Technique.】

【Effect 3: When you wear this amulet, your Avatar·True Dragon and Avatar·Fresh Blood Monarch will undergo morphological changes, effects stronger, consumption less.】

【Cost: Due to the Blood Clan power and Dragon Clan power within the talisman, your desires will be stronger than usual. This desire includes both the desire for reproduction and the desire for blood-sucking.】

After reading the relic's introduction, even Big Boss, this Initial Rising East Sun who was used to treasures, was extremely satisfied.

Not to mention consumption, it can be said that as long as he wears this talisman, his Blood Magic's kill injury will almost double.

Not to mention that the Transformation Ultimate will also have a new form.

Now, Big Boss was becoming increasingly curious about what he would look like after activating his Dragon Form and Monarch Form.

And what surprised Big Boss the most was Effect 2: Dragon Language Magic·Word Spirit Technique.

He carefully looked through it.

He discovered that these Word Spirit Techniques were not ordinary Dragon Language Magic, but Ancient Dragon Roar.

It was a powerful force that could produce effects just by speaking.

Thinking of this, he saved another file, and looked at Peanut Old Deng: "Blindness, Imbalance, Downfall."

"TMD Initial Rising East Sun, you're using me to test moves, right!"

The Avatar Old Man never expected Big Boss to do this, and failed to notice in time, actually falling to the ground.

And the land beside his feet also turned into quicksand, pulling him downward.

But soon, the Avatar Old Man activated power, broke Big Boss's Word Spirit Technique, and floated up again.

His gaze toward Big Boss became increasingly malicious.

"Actually, I have no malice." Big Boss revealed a Sunny Cheerful smile: "I just thought, if this move works on you, then it definitely works on others."

"Hehe, get lost to one side." The Avatar Old Man smiled without smiling, flicked a finger, no longer chattering, directly sending Big Boss to Space Outside.

He did not want to stay with this Big Boss for another moment.

Outside, Big Boss blinked his eyes, he could clearly feel that the World Tree's peeping had disappeared from his body.

"Indeed, once the trial ends, he can no longer monitor me, this Old Wall Lamp."

"Big Boss, you just scared me to death!" Lilith Cat came out, flying around his ear: "I really thought just now that you were going to be killed by the Plague Mother Goddess!"

"But, you are really Defying Heaven, actually being able to think of the operation of directly Retrospecting Back..."

"Hahahaha, that Peanut Old Deng, probably never imagined that he not only gave out an extra Blessing, but also revealed the secret!"

"Your underpants were all Deceived Away by you, meow!"

"Low Key, Base Operation." Big Boss smiled faintly, then said softly: "Then next, we need to think about how to Kill Plague Mother Goddess."

"Ah?" Lilith Cat's smile froze instantly, she looked blankly at Big Boss: "You, you still want to Deal With her?"

"Of course, since she can Steal Abyss, I can't not do it either." Big Boss smiled Sunny: "And this time, she is In Light, I am In Dark."

"But before that, I still need to properly test the new Ability/Capability I just Got."
