Chapter 741: Divine Might Descends? The So-Called Karma!

~7 min read 1,279 words

In response, Huang Hua suddenly fell silent.

He stared into Su Yang's eyes for a moment and said, "Is this important?"

"Then what? Without the Ascend God seed status, do I have the right to walk the Golden Road?" Su Yang retorted.

"This is the necessary path to evade Divine scrutiny; every player who walks the Golden Road must go through this stage," Huang Hua said.

"So you knew this consequence would occur, yet you didn't tell me?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

"Anyway, with your strength and performance, you can retrieve the Ascend God seed after the next Death Game ends, can't you?" Huang Hua said.

"Then may I ask… Lin Yang is currently an Ascend God seed, but if someone with ulterior motives deliberately targets and kills him, how can I escape the Collective Punishment rule in the regulations?" Su Yang asked haltingly.

"It's an unavoidable path; you have no choice," Huang Hua shook his head.

"Of course I know there's no choice!" Su Yang tapped his finger joints on the table and said calmly, "But if you had informed me earlier, I could have prepared in advance."

"If my Proposal fails, what do you think Lin Yang's fate would be under the Old Era Remnant Faction's encirclement?"

"And what would become of me?"

With those words spoken, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Yin Yun noticed Su Yang's fierce gaze and swallowed the words that had just reached his mouth.

Indeed, Huang Hua was being selfish.

Since this is a transaction, adhering to fairness and justice requires full disclosure.

True sincerity must be shown to the other party, not just spoken.

Facing Su Yang's questioning, Huang Hua sipped his tea and said, "Whether or not you have lost the Ascend God seed status, don't you still have to issue a similar Proposal?"

"Regardless of whether the current Ascend God seed is Lin Yang, Su Xiong also can't be sure of beating an Old Era Player with Seven-Stage Gene Modification, can he?"

Bang!

Su Yang slapped the table, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "From Brother Huang's tone… it seems he's sure I'll take this silent loss."

"If that's the case, have you ever Deducted my next move?"

With that, Su Yang rose immediately, "Let's go!"

Just as Zhuge Chen caught up, Huang Hua suddenly said, "Hold on!"

Su Yang ignored him, opened the door, and left.

Seeing hope dashed, Huang Hua clenched his fist tightly and shouted, "Brother Su, have you ever heard—Heaven's secret must not be revealed?!"

"What I'm doing already carries a huge risk of Divine punishment; the reason I can tell you so much is that I earlier evaded Divine scrutiny."

"If I speak without holding back, what awaits me is eternal damnation!"

"I am doing my utmost to help you; could you also help me once?"

As the words fell, Su Yang's steps halted, and he turned slowly back, "Will Deduction be punished?"

"Yes, I've already taken a lesson; that was Divine's warning, and I dare not repeat it!" Huang Hua lifted his Dao robe, revealing a body covered in snarling scars.

Su Yang stared, seeing his body riddled with crooked, ugly scars, as if countless worms were attached to him.

Zhuge Chen was startled in his heart and involuntarily inhaled a cold breath.

"You see, this is the consequence, the fate of desecrating the Divine!" Huang Hua gasped heavily.

At the moment he exposed the scars, he also tore off the last piece of his covering.

Yin Yun was also shocked; it was her first time seeing such a scene.

Previously, Huang Hua had shut himself away for a full three days, claiming to the outside that he was busy with Deduction.

Usually meals were delivered to his door, but that time he closed the door to guests and never left his house.

Three days later, when they saw him again, he was gaunt beyond measure, like a dead body crawling out of a coffin.

At first she thought it was caused by the other's excessive consumption.

Now it appears it was due to Divine punishment!

"You wear this Dao robe because of those scars?" Su Yang stepped back, slowly closed the door, and then turned around.

"Exactly, I don't want others to see these ugly things," Huang Hua pressed his lips, his arm veins bulging.

Su Yang gave Zhuge Chen a look; the latter understood and returned to his seat.

"When did this happen?" he asked.

"During the Buffer Period after the ninth Death Game ended," Huang Hua said.

Su Yang calculated the time; it seemed he had only switched into this seemingly mystic attire the last time he came.

"Because what?"

Huang Hua's gaze flickered, and he whispered, "Your Innate Talent."

Su Yang raised an eyebrow at the words, "Did you secretly Deduct my Innate Talent?"

Huang Hua said nothing, merely continued drinking tea.

Su Yang suddenly laughed with relief, "They say 'one who brings misfortune upon oneself cannot survive,' and that saying fits you perfectly."

Since talking with Yao Ri, Su Yang realized his uniqueness.

Accurately speaking, he is a walking Taboo.

Anyone who dares to act against him will inevitably suffer Recoil.

Huang Hua is the first living example.

The Divine he mentions is most likely not a real god.

But it's Yao Ri sister assisting from behind.

Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly felt a sense of peace.

"I know this is my own retribution, so I can't tell you much," Huang Hua said through clenched teeth.

From his perspective, offending Divine Might is an unimaginably terrifying matter.

One cannot say when the next time he will meet death.

But from Su Yang's perspective, this is entirely a farce of scaring oneself.

Huang Hua, wary of repeating the same mistake, does not dare to tell the full Deduction result.

Recalling this, Su Yang forced his Smile, trying hard to hold back the upward curl of his Mouth.

"Since you have difficulties, why didn't you say it earlier? You know, I have always disliked others Lie."

"This kind of thing is not glorious; I don't want others to know," Huang Hua said.

"Then why bring it up now?" Su Yang said with a half‑smile.

Huang Hua was momentarily speechless, his throat constricted.

Su Yang, seeing this, waved his hand and said, "Since I already know the truth, I can understand; let the past stay in the past."

"Brother Su's magnanimity, I admire," Huang Hua said, clasping his fists.

"I'm not that stingy either; let's just speak openly," Su Yang said.

"Then shall the transaction continue?" Huang Hua asked.

"Of course, I'm eager to know what comes next," Su Yang said with a smiling nod.

"With my current Innate Talent level I still cannot Deduction it; I need Brother Zhuge's help," Huang Hua said.

"That's easy; I'll hand him over to you now. As I said before, whenever I have a request of you, Wan Shi Tong will go all out to help you, and it doesn't count toward the time I promised," Su Yang said softly.

Huang Hua, hearing this, was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

Thus, Brother Zhuge moved a stool to his side, and the two took turns asking and answering, recording the needed information in a book.

Su Yang, beside him, chatted casually with Yin Yun, idly cracking a bowl of sunflower seeds while sipping tea.

How delightful!

When midnight arrived, Huang Hua finally Deductioned a segment of the Golden Road from the information given by Zhuge Chen.

He exhaled a long sigh as if a weight had been lifted, and a long‑unseen Smile finally appeared on his face,

"Finally..."

"Deduction is complete!"
