Chapter 746: Alarmist Exaggeration?! A Pen Pal's Letter!

~7 min read 1,231 words

He—

Who is he, after all?

Su Yang was shocked; this person must have overwhelming power, yet could repeatedly and precisely pinpoint his location.

From the wording it's clear that the other party repeatedly blocks his Ascend God, and does so with absolute resolve, leaving no leeway.

Just like…

Command!

"At what time did this note appear this morning?" Su Yang said, his expression solemn.

"It should be around nine in the morning," Yin Yun replied.

Nine o'clock?

Su Yang pondered briefly; the time matched exactly his interval of going out to train.

"This is the third time. The previous two times we were still in the Heaven Pit; he warned us not to Ascend God, and now he blocks you from rushing to the Golden Throne," Yin Yun said.

Upon hearing this, Su Yang suddenly sensed a clue, "Exactly, he seems to know what I intend, as if an invisible pair of eyes is watching me."

"Divinity is a god?!" Yin Yun was startled.

"Impossible. Once an elder sister from the ancient era told me that this world has its own system of operational logic and order constraints."

"I have already taken the Death Challenge and escaped; Divinity cannot now spy on me in the slightest," Su Yang shook his head.

"Then who could it be?" Yin Yun was instantly confused.

If it's someone familiar, why not reveal their identity?

But if it's a stranger, why tell them these things?

"Beyond his identity, I'm now more curious why you received the same Letter," Su Yang's eyes flickered with an unusual hue.

Yin Yun suddenly froze, pointing at themselves, "You suspect I was the one pulling the strings?"

"I'm merely simply curious; a normal person would question such a scene."

"During the Heaven Pit, you received the note a step before me; afterwards I tried to communicate with him through dialogue."

"You and I were in the same room; receiving the same warning is unsurprising."

"But now you and I belong to different teams; although everyone yearns for the Golden Throne, players who know the Shortcut are very few."

"And the time node happens right after I took on the solo Task of the Old Era."

"Based on the above, I think… he wants to advise me not to do something foolish."

"If so, why did you also receive a Letter with the same content?" Su Yang asked.

Yin Yun thought back and forth, then said, "Could it be double insurance? He worries the message might not reach, so…"

"If he possessed tremendous power, why worry about such a trivial inconvenience?" Su Yang said slowly.

"But I did nothing; I don't even know him at all," Yin Yun's voice suddenly showed some anxiety.

"Don't be nervous; while I'm telling you this, I'm actually sorting out my own thoughts," Su Yang gestured with his hand.

Obviously, those words were addressed to him.

And Yin Yun had briefly camped together with him once.

During that time there was no overstepping, nor any deep relationship.

Rather than saying she was pulling strings behind the scenes, Su Yang leans toward suspecting that she also has a solid background.

If not, why issue the same content in two copies simultaneously?

If there is no other intention behind it, it's somewhat redundant.

"Then… why say the Golden Throne is a tomb?" Yin Yun asked, puzzled.

"It's an old cliché; the Divine Throne is the ultimate supreme thing mortals can pursue, and once possessed one will completely transcend," Su Yang glanced at the Letter and continued:

"He previously said Ascend God is a scam, yet we are living fine now."

"If there truly are unknown secrets inside, we now have no right to access them."

"If even the Divine cannot control its own fate, then what meaning do our actions have?"

Yin Yun's mind stirred, "You mean… he's being alarmist?"

Su Yang thought for a moment, then said, "The other's origin is unknown, but likely harbors no hostility."

Yin Yun lowered their eyes, reading slowly, "'Stay obedient, I will keep you safe…'."

"There are only two possibilities: either permanently seal our era away from external interference."

"Or he will kill every player who wishes to seize the New Era!" Su Yang said.

"I'm very curious, what exactly is his relationship with you, and why go this far?" Yin Yun said.

"I also want to know the answer," a flash of brilliance crossed Su Yang's eyes.

Divine Throne is a tomb?

Hehe…

The arrow is nocked and must be released; the situation has already escalated to this point, how could we abandon it?

Whether benevolent or malicious, Su Yang cannot stop moving forward!

"What do you plan to do?" Yin Yun asked.

Su Yang took a pen from the drawer and wrote three characters at the bottom of the Letter—'Who are you'?

He then placed the Letter flat on the desk, waiting quietly.

The two leaned shoulder to shoulder at the desk, staring like that.

Not long after, new text suddenly appeared on the paper.

"Hmm?" Su Yang stepped forward, took the paper in hand to examine, and saw the characters fluttering like lively sprites.

'I am the person you never wish to see in this life.'

"Again the same answer," Su Yang frowned.

"That should show he has no ill intent," Yin Yun said.

"The matter shouldn't be that simple," Su Yang thought for a long while, then arranged, "Take the Letter back, let Huang Hua and Zhuge Chen review it together, and see if you can get a sense of the other's bottom."

"Fine." Yin Yun, fully aware of the gravity of the matter, dared not delay and hurried back.

In the bedroom only he remained; Su Yang paced back and forth, thinking left and right, yet could not devise a slightly more fitting answer.

"Seems they're not from Sister Yao Ri's side," Su Yang stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

If they were players from the same camp, Sister Yao Ri could not simply stand by; she would certainly inform them of the stakes as well.

Yet the incident occurred right under the Observer's nose and was not stopped.

Either this person is more capable than Sister Yao Ri, easily pulling off a covert operation.

Or this matter was tacitly approved.

If it's the former, Su Yang would have to rethink the upcoming plan.

But if it's the latter…

"Really gives me a headache…" Su Yang shook his head, casually crumpled the Letter into a ball and tossed it into the trash can.

He now has no time to consider anything else; the Golden Road is within reach, and whether it's a tomb or not, he must see it himself eventually.

Otherwise he would not find the meaning of his persistence.

At this age, Su Yang stepped out of the room into the living room and saw Qin Weiyang and Lin Yang already back from training.

"Su Yang, where did you and Miss Yin go? We waited for you at the training ground for a whole hour and didn't see anyone," Lin Yang, after gulping electrolyte water, asked curiously.

Saying that, Lin Yang looked around and continued, "Where is Miss Yin?"

"She went back," Su Yang replied.

"Mysterious as always, did you run into something strange again?" Lin Yang leaned in and whispered.

"A pen‑friend sent a Letter, gave me a fright," Su Yang said blandly.
