Chapter 544: Still, the Demon God Game Is More Fun

It called itself the Lord of Fear.

The deity that governs fear, the ruler……at least in its original world, that was the case.

It possesses the power to govern fear.

Until one day, the world collapsed, and it was trapped in the Unspeakable Place.

"Unspeakable Place?" Zhu Bajie asked, "What kind of ghostly place is this?"

Tang Luo had already obtained some information from the sea urchin that called itself the Lord of Fear.

"I don't know, this was still it desperately shouting out before death." Tang Luo said.

The final words of the Lord of Fear before death, summarized, meant: "Escaped the Unspeakable Place, yet still died, I am unwilling……".

Vague and unclear.

"Master, that Unspeakable Place he mentioned, could it be the factory, the manufacturing site of the Fate Fragments?" Ao Yulie said.

One can imagine a scene: a group of arrogant or self-proclaimed arrogant big shots, in some place, being made into Fate Fragments.

Tsk, so dark.

"No way." Zhu Bajie said, "If the Unspeakable Place is the birthplace of Fate Fragments, then this whatever Fear Thing escaped, why would it still be a Fate Fragment?"

This made Ao Yulie fall into thought.

After a while, he said: "Could it be that it wasn't done properly, the most proper being that pure Fate Fragment, toxic Fate Fragments are defective products, this Lord of Fear is not an ordinary defective product, but truly needing to be scrapped garbage, just like this Fate Fragment."

Zhu Bajie said: "Or we can change our thinking, this time this is the genuine authentic product, the others are the defective ones?"

"That's too dark and grim." Ao Yulie said.

The two looked at Tang Luo, how would the master view this?

"I'll continue." Tang Luo ignored the two's questioning gazes, "This Lord of Fear does not know it is a Fate Fragment, after escaping the Unspeakable Place, it completely does not know where it is, only able to feel its own existence."

"Using a metaphor, it's like being locked in a coffin, still with perfect soundproofing, a small coffin, unable to even stretch its hands and feet."

"Until the coffin lid was suddenly lifted, this Lord of Fear then gained freedom."

"The one who lifted the coffin lid was precisely Xue Nianzhi, she obtained this Fate Fragment."

The two disciples listened very attentively, to the master's wonderful metaphor "turning a blind eye".

"Then next is the Lord of Fear starting to cause trouble?" Zhu Bajie asked.

"Actually not." Tang Luo said, "The Lord of Fear is very weak, rather than saying it is causing trouble, it's more like it is resisting."

Xue Nianzhi, as a half-demon, the power of her fox demon bloodline, happens to have a resisting effect against the Lord of Fear's power.

Using the Lord of Fear's own words, if it were at its peak, merely its appearance would be enough to make Xue Nianzhi directly fear and collapse.

Even more so being resisted by the other's subconscious power.

Xue Nianzhi's resistance manifesting is the weakening of her own strength, so she came to find Tang Luo.

This differs from other Fate Fragments……other Fate Fragments, whether toxic or not, for Fate Fragment holders are "strengthening strength", not weakening.

Also, no Fate Fragment holder has ever felt anything special.

But this also relates to Xue Nianzhi.

If changed to another demon god wanderer, it likely would not subconsciously innately reject the Lord of Fear, but would instead inherit a bit of the Lord of Fear's power.

Gradually strengthening, finally being "possessed and reborn" by the Lord of Fear.

It's also possible that during the process of becoming strong, one discovers the Lord of Fear's existence and successfully counterattacks.

One must believe, everything is possible, demon god wanderers walk the path of "turning the impossible into possible".

Returning to Xue Nianzhi and the Lord of Fear's side.

When Tang Luo killed Xue Nianzhi, the Lord of Fear suddenly realized its opportunity had come, it could now possess and rebirth.

However, at that moment, talent took effect.

The Lord of Fear felt fear, yes, fear……as the Lord of Fear, it felt fear.

Thus, the Lord of Fear shrank, it wanted to wait for that feeling to disappear before acting.

Then there was no after, the hidden Lord of Fear was forcibly pulled out by Tang Luo——its hiding place, actually can also be counted as part of Xue Nianzhi's consciousness.

Soul-receiving can certainly catch it.

That phrase "ignorant foolish ants" is the last stubbornness and dignity of the Lord of Fear when it was once a "deity".

Only unfortunate to meet Tang Luo, no matter your stubbornness, a slap just swept past.

Slapped the Lord of Fear until it couldn't find north, obediently speaking.

After speaking, gave it a swift blow.

The basic situation is roughly like this.

The appearance of this special Fate Fragment seems to have spoken of the origin of Fate Fragments.

But among this, there are still many mysteries and contradictions.

For example, those Fate Fragments of game and novel characters, are they also one day suddenly locked into the unspeakable "Fate Factory", then became Fate Fragments?

All kinds of problems, before obtaining more information, can only be speculated.

And it's still a headache-inducing speculation.

So, this matter naturally should be handed over to the wise Kongming, Tang Luo happily told Kongming the matter.

In the video call, Kongming fell into long contemplation, finally asking an unrelated question: "That……Holy Monk, can your consecration treat baldness?"

Tang Luo then noticed, his hair had become much sparser.

"This really hasn't been tried." Tang Luo thought carefully, "I can confirm it cannot increase height, if baldness and short stature are the same, then that's an 'incurable disease' that consecration cannot save."

Why is Tang Luo so certain?

Because he has a disciple, 1.6 meters tall, hopes to grow a bit taller, that would be more mighty and imposing.

Although he can create a tall and mighty Monkey King physique, also can display the Heaven-Earth Dharma Form, standing tall and firm.

But normally he is 1.6 meters tall, although 1.6 meters is already very tall and mighty among monkeys.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, 1.6 meters tall, always feels like something is missing. Although no one would discriminate against him for being 1.6 meters tall, anyone who dares to do so has had their head in close, negative-distance contact with a stick.

The kind that lasts until death.

Later, Tang Luo's persuasion made Sun Wukong give up the idea of growing taller.

The persuasion process was very simple.

"Wukong, look at that monster—don't you feel a bit annoyed?"

"A bit."

"Then good, let's go beat him up."

"No way, Master, are we really Buddhist disciples? Others are just 'moved,' they haven't acted yet."

"No problem, we have an excuse."

"What excuse?"

"He looks down on you, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven—can people just look down on him like that? Even his master would have to say 'Great Sage, you're well' upon seeing you."

"... Makes sense. Take this, old monkey!" 【He swings his staff.】

For a while, demons, monsters, ghosts, and evil spirits in a certain region all wanted to kneel down and say, "Please, Great Sage Grandfather, fly in the sky!"

"Terminal illness?"

Kongming ended the call with three parts regret, three parts determination, three parts sorrow, and one part "I feel you just want me to go bald."

"Alright."

Tang Luo clapped his hands and said to the two disciples, "Leave the troublesome matters to smart people like Kongming to think about—we'll stay the same! Smash through the enemy's dog heads!"

"Failure!"

Five hours later, seeing the words pop up on the screen, everyone fell into silence.

"Master, your disciple is unfilial! I failed to let you win!" The child disciple Wujing broke the silence and almost knelt down to Tang Luo.

"It's not serious, just a game." Tang Luo waved his hand.

"Yeah, just lost a bit too much—small matter, we're here to pass the time." Zhu Bajie comforted the third younger brother.

Ao Yulie thought for a while and decided to let the Celestial Dog take the blame: "Dog, your jungling is no good."

The Celestial Dog looked at his own 19-10-0 record, then at others' 0-20-5 records, and decided to duel Ao Yulie one-on-one.

Tang Luo threw the two "people" out of the Dragon King's ship, letting them find a place to practice on their own.

Ao Yulie, this noob, his Dragon Claw Hand is still only level three to this day.

The matter is simple—everyone just plans to relax a bit.

Adding the child disciple Wujing, the number reached five, and Tang Luo recalled the game he played during his college monk days.

So everyone logged in using borrowed accounts and got killed to their heart's content.

Even Tang Luo, the former player, is like this—his only dignity is the Celestial Dog, whose jungle sense is sharp, and whose dog paws operate more flexibly than "human paws."

It makes people suspect she can ask about the enemy jungler's movements even through the screen.

In short, after playing, everyone felt the trash game ruined their youth, or maybe the god-demon game is still fun.

After two months, Tang Luo and his group welcomed the seventeenth mission of the God-Demon Fun Game.

"Obtain the Holy Heart."

Upon entering this mission, the information gave no possible background related to the mission world—it was very simple and brutal.

"Is it to obtain a certain item? Seems quite simple." Ao Yulie said.

"It's just that the opening is a bit strange."

Zhu Bajie's interface.

This time's opening had the three persons and one beast appear directly in the sky, like meteors falling toward the earth.

Beside them were also over thirty human figures, falling together with them toward the earth.

These over thirty people are almost certainly not God-Demon Walkers—each of them lets out terrified screams.

They are completely unaware that they feel no wind during the fall—an invisible force outside their bodies is protecting them.

The seventeenth mission—absolute veterans.

Tang Luo and his group couldn't possibly meet newcomers; they haven't encountered God-Demon Walkers below the sixth mission in a long time.

Falling from high altitude, screaming as an ordinary person is no problem; screaming so hard as to faint is also no problem.

But for God-Demon Walkers to be like this is too much of a failure—even after the initial panic, at least a first-rank God-Demon Walker would quickly calm down.

These over thirty people—probably not a single one is a God-Demon Walker.

Yet Tang Luo and his group appeared together with these people, fell together—such an opening can be called special.

And...

"Master, we're starting to change." Ao Yulie said.

Approaching the ground, several people's appearances began to change; to Tang Luo and his group, it felt like they were starting to put on different clothes.

Except the clothes were still attached to different "appearances."

"Looks like this mission is a role-play task." Tang Luo said.
