Chapter 521: Ascend God Seed! You've Entered the Trap!

This is Lu Junsheng's reason for persisting until now.

He has always firmly believed that they are still alive.

And they are living quite well.

It is precisely this belief that makes his heart hold its breath, constantly Reminder himself to give his all.

Unfortunately his ability is limited, he cannot, like other players, each time find Hidden Achievement.

At the moment of learning Wish Qualification, he even felt an impulse to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly his Leaderboard points were too few, even with remarkable Achievement he could not climb First Place.

At this point he became much more 'casual', only hoping fate would favor him a bit more.

After hearing his self‑narration, the others were silent for a moment.

Lu Junsheng, seeing the cold atmosphere, forced out a Laugh and said, "Sorry, everyone, I made you look foolish."

"How could that be, Sheng Ge, you're overthinking, I'm just thinking how I can help you," Su Yang said.

Lu Junsheng, hearing that, was greatly startled, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Never use Wish Qualification on me."

Su Yang, unable to Cry‑Laugh, said, "Of course not, I'm not generous enough for that yet, but... if there were two Wish Opportunities, I could consider it."

Half‑joking words let Lu Junsheng put his mind at ease, his expression softened considerably.

"And you?" Su Yang looked at Bai Wanrou.

"I started working early, originally at a nail salon, and usually I like to watch anime and read comics," Bai Wanrou said.

The others were not surprised by this.

From Bai Wanrou's facial features one can see she is certainly a homebody.

If not for being 'kidnapped', she might have remained immersed in her own world.

It was Yin Yun's turn to introduce; she organized her words and said, "I just graduated, still looking for a job, I had just received an operations interview notice, was preparing the night before, and after a sleep I came here."

"Is the job hard to find?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"It's okay, I sent out applications for a month, also interviewed several companies, but the results didn't satisfy me," Yin Yun said.

"Salary?"

"Right, it looked good on the software, monthly salary five thousand plus five insurances and one fund, but after going there, because I lacked experience they only gave three thousand, with a three‑month internship period," Yin Yun complained bitterly.

"Heh... the world is as black as crows, but rest assured, perhaps those bosses have been terribly Tortured in Death Game."

"Too bad you didn't meet me, otherwise I'd definitely let him taste the feel of a fist!" Yin Yun waved a small fist, making a 'ferocious' expression.

The others, seeing this, couldn't help to burst into Laugh.

Once they talked about past suppressed emotions and boredom, they instantly vanished by seventy or eighty percent.

Resentment was gone, worries disappeared.

All that remained was a gossiping heart.

Indeed, no matter the environment or stage, gossiping is always the most time‑killing and most focused.

Unconsciously, over a dozen hours passed, accompanied by a notification that interrupted their smooth talk.

【Ascend God Plan Initiated!】

【Please Scoreboard Top Ten Players stand before the Screen awaiting Ascend God Seed distribution!】

When the words landed, Su Yang and Yin Yun rose and came to the large Screen, a few solemn hues flashing in their eyes.

"Come on!" Bai Wanrou encouraged.

Su Yang nodded at her, inhaled and said, "Are you ready?"

"Mm yes!" Yin Yun nodded heavily.

The next moment, two Golden Light beams suddenly darted out from within the Screen, striking straight into their Brow!

In an instant, a tide‑like pain swept over the whole body.

As if a huge stone were forcibly jammed into the Brain, causing unbearable pain.

Su Yang's legs gave way, kneeling on the ground, unable to hold back a low roar.

Pain!

Too painful!

More painful than swallowing a bullet!

And as time passes, the pain continues to intensify.

The two gritted their teeth and persisted, trying to shift attention to lessen the pain.

But no matter what they did, that needle‑like excruciating pain lingered.

"Ka!"

Suddenly, a Joint clashing sound rang out.

Su Yang's body suddenly twisted into an unbelievable posture, curling on the ground like a reptile.

"Su Yang?!" several people, seeing this, were greatly shocked.

"I'm fine..." Su Yang said in a deep voice, his eyes suddenly turning blood‑red.

Yin Yun beside him performed slightly better, but his twisted features already indicated the heavy burden he bore.

A brief one‑minute felt longer than a year.

"Ding!"

Finally, accompanied by a light sound, Torture abruptly ceased.

"Hoo!"

Su Yang, powerless, lay on the ground, Sweat already soaking his clothes, his whole body like after a hot spring, thin White Mist drifting out.

"Are you okay?" his hoarse voice said.

"It's fine." Yin Yun lay on his back on the ground, his chest rising and falling in waves.

"Back then I almost thought I would die in pain here." Su Yang let out a wry laugh.

The five characters "death countdown" suddenly flashed in the brain.

Is this even a reward?

It's pure torture.

【Talent Evolution Progress: 80%】

Hm?

Upon hearing the news, a flash of brilliance flickered in his eyes.

"Did you receive it?" Su Yang asked.

"Hm, evolved again." Yin Yun gave a slight nod.

After the fatigue, power surged suddenly from his limbs and bones like a breached dam.

He found his physical condition reinforced again, and the intensity was far greater than before.

Just as the two opened their eyes, Qin Weiyang and the others were all startled.

"Your eyes…"

Su Yang hurriedly scrambled up, ran to the bathroom, stared at his reflection, and his pupils contracted slightly.

He saw that the person in the mirror retained the same features, but the pair of deep brown irises had turned red!

The pupils, like Red Gemstone, radiated a dazzling Radiance, both eerie and noble.

A symbol flickered suddenly at the brow, then vanished in an instant.

Su Yang touched his forehead, "'Divine Ascension'… Seed?"

Yin Yun also glanced at the mirror, his pretty face slightly altered.

The two locked eyes, each seeing a hint of abnormal color in the other's gaze.

【'Divine Ascension' Seed Absorption Complete】

【'Divine Ascension' Plan officially begins!】

【Each Seed may designate ten players as Divine Retinue, time limit one hour】

【Selection Rules—Rankings are taken in order from high to low】

【Unselected players will be executed by the Administrator—'Execution'!】

Dependents?

Execution!?

Upon hearing this news, the players in the prison all felt a Vibration.

That means…

If you aren't among the chosen, you all have to die?

"This is unfair! I don't know any of the top ten, so I'm doomed, right?"

"They'll surely select by the Leaderboard from high to low, and those at the back will have no chance at all…"

Su Yang returned to the living room, looked at the Leaderboard, his gaze sweeping over the Top Hundred Players.

"Divine Retinue?"

Undoubtedly, this is the rhythm of selecting 'Little Brother'.

The chosen ones will possess the Immortal Immunity Medal!

And he will decide who can be safe!

Just as Su Yang was pondering, the broadcast sounded again—

【'Divine Ascension' Seed death countdown: 29 days 23 hours 50 minutes 13 seconds】

"What?!" Su Yang's pupils contracted suddenly.

"Snap!"

At the same time, the balcony's trash Passage emitted an odd sound.

Su Yang hurried to the balcony, lifted the lid, and took out the paper inside.

It read—

"You have entered a trap, may fate be merciful to you."

"Also…"

"I am the person you never wish to see in this life!"
