Chapter 257

Outside the Royal Capital in the Wrath Father God Domain's forest, Wrath Father God was sizing up Li Er up and down.

At this moment, he had already arrived at the Royal Capital, only waiting for final preparations before charging into the city to fight to the death with that bastard Dian Huo.

This was an opportunity Li Cheng had earned with loyalty, a possibility bought with life! Yes, in Wrath Father God's view, Li Cheng and the few others holding the Northwest Front against Dian Huo's clone army were probably in grave danger by now.

Even if he could win, the probability of those few surviving would absolutely not exceed one in ten thousand.

Only such a loyal subject, staking his life, had won for himself the possibility of winning this war.

Wrath Father God absolutely would not let this opportunity pass! Only by killing that Dian Huo until not a single piece of armor remained, his wails unceasing, bringing him to Li Cheng's tombstone, and letting her go down to be his Star Wrath, could he comfort the spirit of this Tian Ce God General!

But similarly, Wrath Father God had no certainty about the outcome of this war.

Although he was a Fourth Rank Demigod, while Dian Huo was not even a Demigod.

But Dian Huo was after all Dian Huo; whether it was the Abyss before her disappearance, or the current Plague Mother Goddess, both feared her.

Fighting such a monster, who wins and who loses, who can say for sure?

So Wrath Father God had specially brought Li Er along.

He wanted to, on the eve of the decisive battle, ruthlessly devour this man who grew on his own XP! That way, he would have no regrets!

But now, Li Er, who had been exceedingly respectful to him all along the way, suddenly seemed like a different person, speaking coldly to him.

This made Wrath Father God feel very hurt.

"I thought you liked me," he said slowly, his tone carrying some resentment.

"Like you? Hahahaha, stop talking nonsense!"

Li Er had originally wanted to vent a bit; upon leaving this place and hearing these words, he directly let out a Uchiha-style mad laugh:

"Look at yourself, what kind of appearance is that, your face is bigger than my Qianzi, the hair on your chin is more than my dangling hair, with your ghostly appearance, you still want me to like you?"

"Are you here to get keys made?"

"Get keys made... what does that mean?" Wrath Father God asked, confused.

"It means, you're qualified for several!" Li Er mocked with a smile, and directly spat a mouthful of saliva.

"You, you..." Wrath Father God was so angry he was about to become wrathful, but after all he was a lover of many days, he still controlled his emotions:

"Mm, I know, I know, Li Er, you don't like my appearance, but it's okay, I'll change into the appearance you like right now."

Saying this, he spun around on the spot, and turned into Bao Bao Zi Miss with eight big breasts.

Seeing his ancient god appearance, Li Er, who was already disgusted by South Tong, could no longer control himself, directly fell to the ground and vomited violently.

"Ugh, who would like something as disgusting as you... ugh, a dead South Tong, and still want to be a Nan Liang... ugh, eight big breasts with RGB lights, do you think you're playing Four-Wheel Brothers? Ugh..."

He vomited wildly while venting.

Every sentence was like a Heavy Hammer, ruthlessly smashing onto Wrath Father God's heart.

His expression grew increasingly serious, and the anger in his eyes grew more and more.

"Li Er, what do you mean?"

"Hahahaha, what do I mean?" Li Er wiped his mouth, mockingly sneering: "Wrath Father God, do you really think I would like you?"

"Stop joking, you rat in the sewer, bedbug in the gutter, unloved hairy exploding head, front-tail monkey who can even grow a long whip backwards!"

"A waste South Tong like you, no one would ever like!"

"You're just suited to pluck off your own Nizhuan Changbian, stuff it into your own Qianzi, and enjoy it in your mouth!"

His speech was very fast, without a single dirty word throughout, but its insulting nature exceeded any vocabulary Wrath Father God had ever heard.

For a moment, Wrath Father God was actually scolded into a daze; he stretched out a finger, blankly pointing at Li Er: "Then, then why, why did you come to meet me for marriage..."

"Hahahaha! You wouldn't think I came because I like you, would you?" Li Er laughed heartily: "I did all this for power, for fame! To ruthlessly step that bastard Li Cheng underfoot!"

"Clearly I am the genius, clearly I am the darling of all eyes! I am the student all teachers love!"

"Why doesn't Lady Yenifer like me? Why doesn't Full Moon Dean accept me as a disciple?"

"It's all because of Li Cheng, all because of Li Cheng! It's because of his appearance that I lost everything, that I went from genius to mortal!"

"I don't want to be a mortal, I want to be a genius!"

"I want the highest score, the highest power, to sleep with the most beautiful women!"

"I want Yenifer and Full Moon Queen to kneel beneath me, I want Li Cheng to watch them serve me!"

"I want to step everyone who stole what belongs to me underfoot!"

"I, Li Er, will step by step, sit on that highest Gaolegao!!!"

He roared madly, leaving Wrath Father God stunned again and again.

Li Cheng... this name seemed familiar...

No, who cares who Li Cheng is? What does it have to do with me? If you want to step on his head and shit, what's it to me, Wrath Father God?

Did I offend you?

As if hearing Wrath Father God's inner voice, Li Er laughed "jie jie jie": "Wrath! Originally, I thought I had clung to your thigh, to become a Xubing of the Demon Race!"

"For this day, I even abandoned my human identity, wanting to become a traitor to humanity!"

"But I didn't expect, you piece of trash, actually lost all your foundation!"

"Such a big Wrath Domain, actually let Dian Huo and Lu Yi take it, hehe, such weak martial strength, such a stupid brain, a trash like you, also qualified to let me be a Xubing?"

"Trash, you big trash!"

"You, you, you..." Wrath Father God pointed at Li Er's nose, completely wrathful.

To say before being pointed at the nose and scolded by Li Er, he only thought this fellow was a troublemaking clown, not caring much.

But now, every word Li Er said stabbed at his pain point.

He could no longer control the fire in his heart.

He was directly angered into laughter.

"Good, good, good, I really didn't expect, old man me would actually have a day of being pointed at the nose and scolded by an ant, hahahaha, interesting, really interesting!"

"Fine, since you're seeking death, don't blame me!"

The Wrathful Father God's eyes narrowed, and he violently waved a hand; surging spiritual power rolled toward Li Er.

Wherever that spiritual power passed, whether grass or trees, all were instantly annihilated into dust.

Yet facing such a killing move, Li Er showed no fear — instead he smiled.

He spread his arms wide and shouted: "Settlement!!!"

The World Tree's radiance flared, wrapping him within it.

And the attack the Wrathful Father God launched was directly severed outside by that light, not stirring even a ripple.

"This is... the power of the World Tree?"

The Wrathful Father God froze, then immediately unleashed several high-stage spells in succession.

But those spells were all the same — blocked by the golden radiance.

"Damn it, this place has been turned into a World Tree Secret Realm? I'm also a part of the Secret Realm?" the Wrathful Father God gritted his teeth:

"How is this possible? Isn't the World Tree only able to generate Secret Realms based on past events as blueprints?"

"Could it be that someone from the future generated this trial?"

"Hahaha, you guess?" Li Er stood with hands behind his back, his pupils full of smugness.

He watched the Wrathful Father God with composure, his heart filled with unprecedented satisfaction.

As a mage who had cleared the World Tree Secret Realm, he knew the World Tree's rules too well.

The moment settlement occurs, no creature in the Secret Realm can affect the one settling.

Even the Abyss Seven Gods are the same.

This is why he dared to provoke the Wrathful Father God.

At this very moment, watching the helplessly furious Wrathful Father God, Li Er felt unprecedented pride.

That's right, it's this feeling.

Even a big shot like the Abyss Wrath has no way to deal with me!

"Hahaha, Little Wrath, I just love how you can't stand me but can't kill me."

"..." The Wrathful Father God stared dead at Li Er, his rage with no outlet.

He also knew clearly that once this settlement triggers, he can no longer harm Li Er in the slightest.

And when settlement ends, Li Er will be transmitted out of this Secret Realm, and he'll never find him again.

Not only that, by the World Tree's rules, this Li Er should be from the future.

Even if he wants revenge, he can't find the person to take revenge on.

"Ah!!!"

The Wrathful Father God stomped a foot in fury, leveling the forest within a five-kilometer radius.

He glared at Li Er with burning rage, beginning to continuously gather power.

And Li Er, too, watched him mockingly.

Satisfying, so satisfying! The mighty Wrathful Father God, actually played in the palm of my hand, hahaha!

And the even more satisfying part is still behind!

Li Er smiled, looking at his own Panel.

Just now such a big thing happened on the Northwest Front; the Demon Race at Hengshui Camp have already been completely wiped out by Lu Yi.

That Big Boss is certainly already dead! All these days, under my deliberate targeting and searching, this Big Boss, ten thousand percent, hasn't managed to land even a single position! He hasn't even become a Squad captain!

While I am already an A-Rank position — 【God General of Violent Rage's Simp】!

Big Boss ah Big Boss, the difference between you and me is like clouds and mud, ice cream and thesis defense! As for that Main Quest 3, discover the hidden truth inside this Instance... heh, I, Li Er, haven't even found what the truth is; a mere grunt like him could find it? Impossible, absolutely impossible! So the only quest Big Boss can complete is Main Quest 1 — survive as long as possible.

But even for this quest, his survival time isn't longer than mine!

In this Secret Realm Trial, he's just a drowning dog clinging to life, getting nothing.

While I, on the other hand, have clung to the God General of Violent Rage's thigh, become his Simp! Obtained everything! What's called crushing? This is called crushing!

Big Boss has already been trampled under my foot! Not just Big Boss, Li Er can now affirm that his performance in this trial is the best among all Trial Participants!

This is a Tenth Stage SSS Difficulty Secret Realm! Such a Secret Realm, what kind of Blessing it will give me, I don't even dare imagine! But the only thing certain is, it absolutely represents unprecedented power! Li Er laughed wildly, already imagining the scene after returning to Full Moon Academy.

Probably then, he'll be welcomed by countless teachers, fought over by Yenifer and the Full Moon Queen! And Big Boss, heh, his genius disguise will be completely stripped away, never to recover! Only able to watch me, taking everything from him! Oh? This feeling...

This feeling of flying...

Li Er spread his arms, shouting in enjoyment:

"I understand, I understand! This is the feeling of stealing someone's destiny!"

"Hahaha!! Settlement, World Tree, settle for me right now! I want to go back, go back and enjoy the victor's fruit!"

Saying this, he looked at his own World Tree Panel.

Quietly waiting for this pleasant drama's curtain call.

【Trial Participant Li Er, you have completed Main Quest 1·Obtain the Highest Position Possible, your current position is God General of Violent Rage's Simp (A-Rank), you obtain... sorry, information error, now starting recount.】

"What the hell?" Li Er maintained his arms-spread posture, yet froze completely.

Information error?

The World Tree can have information errors too?

Don't mess around!

Li Er's heart instantly tensed up. 【Trial Participant Li Er, information tally complete, you still completed Main Quest 1·Obtain the Highest Position Possible.】

"Phew... scared me to death." Li Er sighed: "I thought something happened."

Before he could fully recover, the World Tree's voice sounded again:

【You obtained the position — Big Boss's Simp (E-) Rank, can obtain Blessing at any time.】

What, what? Big Boss's simp? E-rank?

Are you kidding me? Li Er froze.

Immediately after, he began roaring furiously: "Are you crazy?! When did I become Big Boss's simp!"

"World Tree, is something wrong with you? Did your magic circuit short-circuit?"

"Get out here! I never became Big Boss's simp! I never became Big Boss's simp at all!"

"I am, I am the God General of Violent Rage's dog! For this Rank A position, I was a dog for a whole month! Explain it to me clearly, explain clearly!"

【Information statistics have no error, the position you obtained is indeed——Big Boss's Simp (E-rank), do you want to use this position to obtain Blessing?】

"No, impossible, impossible…… How could I be Big Boss's dog? Mistake, there must be a mistake somewhere!" Li Er hugged his head, powerlessly squatting down:

"Could it be, Big Boss bribed the World Tree? Changed my position? Impossible, how could a Mortal converse with the World Tree?"

"Wait…… Could it be, could it be……"

In this instant, a bolt of lightning exploded in Li Er's head.

He suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

He had targeted Big Boss for so long, investigated him for so long, yet couldn't find him no matter what.

But in the dark, he had always felt, he seemed to live somewhere, very close to himself……

What if……

God General of Violent Rage……

Is Big Boss? "Could it, could it really be like this? Big Boss, Big Boss is the God General of Violent Rage?" Li Er said while powerlessly collapsing to the ground.

His lips turned pale, his body trembled, there was even yellow liquid on his pants.

The Wrath Father God on the side, watched increasingly inexplicably.

No, brothers, how did you suddenly become like a drowned dog?

Where's your arrogance from just now?

Also, Big Boss…… This name I definitely heard before.

Where did I hear it?

Wrath Father God propped up his chin, lowered his head and pondered bitterly.

And Li Er, was already hugging his knees, murmuring: "So, my position, changed from God General of Violent Rage's dog, to Big Boss's dog…… Because, because I was played by that Big Boss all along!"

"I was like a scarecrow/idiot, played by him from start to finish, not only that, I even, I even acted like his dog!"

"I, I even in front of him, spoke ill of him, said this person, cannot be reused."

"No, impossible, no, this isn't real, this isn't real!"

Li Er hugged his head, knelt on the ground, continuously head banging: "This problem, I can't solve! I can't solve it!"

Just then, his expression suddenly changed again.

"If, if it's like this…… Wait, the current Northwest Front, already belongs to God General of Violent Rage, and he was also conferred as Tian Ce God General…… Could it, could all this also be in his plan?"

"How is this possible?"

"How did he calculate to this step?"

"Wait…… If this isn't what he calculated? If, this is his plan?"

At this moment, when the information Big Boss = God General of Violent Rage, appeared in Li Er's mind.

His thinking became unprecedentedly clear.

"If, Lu Yi was also designed by Big Boss? Lu Yi is actually just a chess piece, he actually never betrayed at all, he's just Big Boss's means to obtain a higher position……"

"Correct, very possible, extremely possible……"

"Then if, if following this line upwards……"

"Big Boss couldn't possibly control Lu Yi with completely no information, turn the entire Wrath Father God Domain into a mess……"

"He must have known about the Dian Fire and Violent Rage war, so he made arrangements in advance."

"Meaning, from the start, he knew this Trial, would change from original Fifth Rank to Tenth Rank, map would become this Wrath Father God Domain!"

"No, not that he knew from the start, but…… This is what he did! It's him, he forcibly adjusted the Trial Secret Realm!"

The more Li Er spoke the paler his lips, the heavier the shock in his heart.

Fear lingered in his heart, making his breathing become intermittent.

Too terrifying, really too terrifying.

And a guess even more terrifying than this, also at this moment, surfaced in Li Er's mind.

That guess too terrifying, terrifying to the point he just had this thought, kept denying it in his heart.

But no matter how he denied, that possibility, was like a maggot, clinging to his body.

Finally, Li Er still swallowed saliva, faintly said: "Could it be, the war between Violent Rage and Dian Fire, was also incited by Big Boss?"

"All of this, whether this war, or this Secret Realm, are all his handiwork……"

"He planned everything, his target, is Violent Rage Father God and Dian Fire……"

"Heh, hehe."

Speaking here, Li Er suddenly foolishly laughed, he slapped his own face:

"Forget it, I really am a scarecrow/idiot, how could I say such words?"

"In this world, how could there be such a monstrous person?"

"If there really is someone who can play the Abyss Seven Gods in the palm of their hand, then I…… have no reason to exist anymore."

Also just then, the World Tree's voice resounded again:

【Congratulations, Trial Participant Li Er, you completed Task Three·Find the Truth in the Trial.】

【Just as you thought, the war between Violent Rage and Dian Fire, originated from Big Boss's hand.】

【Not only this, among the Divine Generals you face, besides the God General of Violent Rage being Big Boss, his two subordinates, the Furious Shooting Divine General is Karenina, the Priest Divine General is Mu.】

【At the end of this trial, you saw through the hidden truth, completed Task 3, you will receive a higher rank Blessing.】

"Hehe, hehehe..." Li Er widened his eyes, listening to the World Tree's voice, began twitching non-stop.

Immediately after, his twitching bit by bit turned into wild laughter: "Hahahaha, Blessing? Blessing? Hahaha!"

"I don't give a damn about any Blessing!"

"It really is him! It really is him! All of this was done by him! All done by him!"

"He really played with everyone, even gods... are no exception..."

"Then what am I? Then what am I!"

"I am nothing... I actually, I actually regarded such a person as an opponent? And even delusionally wanted to step on his head?"

"Impossible, impossible to do... compared to him, I am trash, I am mud on the ground, dirty filth."

"I am garbage, I am garbage... since Cheng was born, why was Er born!!! I submit, I completely submit! Big Boss, I am not as good as you, I am not as good as you!"

Li Er sadly lay prone on the ground: "What use is this Blessing to me! Don't want it, alright!"

【You mean, you want to give up the Blessing?】

"Cough cough." Li Er hurriedly coughed twice, then climbed up again: "I, I, I was joking!"

Originally already been stepped on by Big Boss.

If even this Blessing is not wanted, then wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Things having come to this, Li Er no longer had his former spirit, and even more did not dare to treat Big Boss as an imaginary enemy.

He now only wanted to cling to life, obtain the Blessing belonging to him.

After all, he had also served as a dog for a whole month without complaint...

Thinking of this, he shed tears of incomparable humiliation.

【Okay, based on your overall performance in the trial, you obtained Blessing (B-Rank), whether to open now?】

"Surprisingly, surprisingly there is still B-Rank?" Li Er felt even more humiliated.

He knew very clearly, the reason he could obtain this rank of Blessing was because he guessed Big Boss was the mastermind behind the scenes.

In other words, even this Blessing was leftovers left by Big Boss for him.

He...

Is completely just a dog! "De, detestable! Open, open the Blessing!" Li Er shouted in grief.

【Okay, Blessing opened, after analyzing your performance in the trial, and combining this trial's difficulty (Tenth Rank SSS Rank), you obtained Inherent Ability — Undamageable Ditch (Legend).】

【Your ditch has been solidified into an undamageable state, the ditch's internal capacity increased 20 times, but as a price, its pain sensation and a series of tactile sensations will be amplified 10 times.】

"What thing? Ditch, ditch?" Li Er was completely dumbfounded: "What do I want this ability for? What use does this ability have? You come back! World Tree, you explain clearly to me."

【Sorry, for a traitor to humanity who betrays his own race, this is the best Blessing, isn't it?】

"What? When did I betray? I did not betray!" Li Er screamed madly: "I only thought about it, I haven't done it, I haven't done it!"

【Please, enjoy well.】

"Enjoy what?"

【Settlement already completed, Settlement Protection will be cancelled in 5 seconds, countdown starting now 5, 4...】

"Wrong, settlement completed, isn't it supposed to transmit back?" Li Er's whole body was cold sweat, incoherent, face showing pathological madness: "You cannot delete rules!"

【Hehe, I cannot delete rules? Sorry, there has never been any rule written that after settlement, must transmit you back. 3, 2...】

【I, avatar of the elder, since ancient times, most hate two-faced rare ones! 1, 0, enjoy well!】

"No, don't, you cannot be this way, you cannot be this way!"

Li Er spoke in terror.

And the World Tree's radiance completely disappeared.

He blankly turned his head, meeting the Violent Father God's mocking eyes.

"Looks like your World Tree didn't let you get what you wished."

"He, hehe." Li Er smiled fawningly: "That, Father God's Crown His Majesty, actually, actually I super like Bao Bao Zi Miss, really—ah!"

He hadn't managed to finish speaking before being pressed on the head by the Violent Father God, heavily pressed onto the ground.

And the Violent Father God also leaned close to him, narrowed his eyes: "Hehe, is that so? Li Er, today, will use you as a sacrifice to the flag!"

Half minute later.

"Huh, you this... how come there's a clip?!"

"Ah!!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"

Two miserable screams exploded in the moonlight.

Instructed by Big Boss, the mouse trap placed in Li Er's ditch, and a series of items, finally came in handy...
