Chapter 638: You Don't Believe Me? Codename—'Breakout'!

~7 min read 1,220 words

Su Yang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing was also choked!

Yin Yun was the same; she seemed to be learning the news for the first time, and her pupils trembled as well.

She never could have imagined that Huang Hua's previous actions were actually intentional!

And the goal was aimed at one of the competition criteria for the Golden Throne!

What kind of audacity is required to pull this off?

He wagered his life on everything, and it turned out to have a direct link to this ultimate goal that all players flock to like moths.

Simply unbelievable!

"You mean... let me find a chance to die?" Su Yang said in a low voice.

"Exactly, that's one of the necessary conditions; you must achieve it to knock open the gate to the other shore, otherwise even if you possess the Great World's highest-tier innate talent, the strongest gene modification, the highest Faith Value..."

"... you will still never be able to set foot in that domain," Huang Hua nodded gravely.

"You think I'm a fool?" a sharp glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

"You don't believe me?" Huang Hua did not answer, but felt a slight displeasure at Su Yang's doubt,

"Although Huang Hua lacks world‑surpassing talent and does not possess a transcendent body, I, for my part, uphold the Contract Spirit and keep my word!"

Yin Yun expressed some doubt, "Why must we die? The 'Ascend God' seed of death represents failure, and all of Su Yang's dependents would have to die, including Lin Yang and Wan Shi Tong."

"Therefore we must look for an opportunity, rather than blindly diving into the abyss," Huang Hua explained.

"Each subsequent Death Game is crucial, involving betting, looting, and even the most important evolution."

"Even if I were a cold‑blooded, ruthless person, willing to abandon dependents and brothers for the ultimate goal, may I ask Brother Huang... when my entire team perishes, who will resurrect me?" Su Yang asked.

"I cannot answer that; you must seek it yourself," Huang Hua shook his head.

"Fine, let me rephrase: if I deliberately perform poorly and hand over the 'Ascend God' seed's position, dying in the Death Game as a dependent, then Brother Huang, do you know..."

"Resurrection requires three SSS Rating plus 5,000 Faith Value to purchase."

"Will the newly elevated player truly abandon that colossal wealth for me?"

"Put yourself in their shoes: if your immediate superior dies and the position passes to you, facing the risk of being replaced, would you return the intoxicating power you've enjoyed for so long to someone else?" Su Yang voiced the worst outcome.

Obviously, Lin Yang and Qin Weiyang are his confidants.

If the position is handed to those two, Su Yang feels very reassured.

Because they know their own worth and understand that under their leadership they can head toward a better future.

He can't guarantee it, but at least there's a ninety‑percent chance the two would be willing to pay the price to resurrect him.

But the 'Ascend God' seed's position isn't given to just anyone.

Based on current Faith Value acquisition, Jiang Chengyu and Ximen Zhirou's strength clearly surpasses the two.

With innate talent evolution and gene modification roughly equal, the probability of Lin Yang and Qin Weiyang surpassing the two is extremely low.

The so‑called friendship...

In this world, it's the least valuable thing.

It's even less important than a Primary All‑Round Recovery Injection.

Thus, when Su Yang learned the news, his first thought was "Impossible!"

To be honest, he doesn't dare gamble!

Precisely, he doesn't dare entrust this 'heavy task' to Jiang Chengyu or Ximen Zhirou.

"The hypothesis Mr. Su mentioned is something you need to resolve; I won't handle the aftermath," Huang Hua said.

"No other plan?" Su Yang said, a bit unwilling to give up.

"I said I've deduced tens of thousands of possibilities; the vast majority are dead ends, impossible to pass, and this... is the only path; whoever it is, they must walk it!"

"One more thing: although players who have successfully Ascended God are few from antiquity to now, they're not zero; they have also walked this seemingly impossible road."

"Man makes the difference!"

"Moreover... among the many conditions, Place Death in the Next Generation is relatively the lowest difficulty; if you can't get past this gate, you can't imagine achieving the others later," Huang Hua said.

The words may be harsh, but the fact is exactly as he said.

Perhaps the deduction isn't 100% accurate.

But this is currently the best solution known.

Unless Su Yang can force a brand‑new path out of a dead end, he must clear this stage!

"What's the time limit?" Su Yang asked.

"At best one year; you'd better finish within six months, otherwise the chance is slim," Huang Hua said.

One year?

Su Yang furrowed his brow, and a strong sense of urgency suddenly rose in his heart.

Clearly Huang Hua's words sounded absurd, yet he felt an inexplicable certainty.

Could it be because he had died once?

"Thank you for the clarification; next time we meet, I'll bring Wan Shi Tong," Su Yang drained the already cold tea from his cup and stood up to leave.

"Take care," Huang Hua said leisurely.

"Let me see you off," Yin Yun hurriedly stood and said.

The two walked to the Villa's gate; Yin Yun grabbed Su Yang's sleeve, about to speak but stopped.

"If you have something to say, speak it; there's no need for us to hide from each other," Su Yang said.

"Actually, I can't see through the current Huang Hua either; I truly don't know whether resurrecting him back then was right or wrong," Yin Yun said, somewhat troubled.

"At this stage, it may already be the best outcome for you; never romanticize a path you've never walked, it might turn out worse," Su Yang said.

"Do you trust him?" Yin Yun hesitated.

"My heart tells me to believe, but I don't want to take risks; everything will wait until Wan Shi Tong 'listens' before I speak," Su Yang said frankly.

"If the facts are truly as Huang Hua said, the Divine has actually been Vision Perception us all along, then aren't the player's every move already under surveillance?" Yin Yun's willow Brow furrowed.

"The so‑called 'Vision Perception' is merely a visual of a different concept." Su Yang lifted his head Vision Perception the sky, continuing:

The Divine also must obey the rules, otherwise the Divinity would simply reach out and crush the player about to ascend to the other shore, without any effort at all.

Rather than calling this the only road to the other shore, it's more accurate to call it a loophole that sidesteps lethal intent.

Between following the rules and breaking conventions, I actually favor the latter.

Yin Yun looked at Su Yang's familiar spirited expression, his eyes showing emotion, "Do you already have an answer in your heart?"

"Not really, at most it's just a prototype," Su Yang said slowly.

"Is it convenient to reveal?" Yin Yun asked curiously.

"Three feet above the head there is the Divine; saying it now would be Self-Destruct?" Su Yang pointed at the sky, smiling wryly.

Then, changing tack, "My Brain just flashed a decent term, perfect for serving as a Code Name."

"What?"

"... Prison Break!"
