I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 308 - 307: Returning to the Continent!
Chapter 308: Chapter 307: Returning to the Continent!
Translator: 549690339
“That Seven Gods Palace, quite clearly left by Jin Biao, is a top level true divine artifact. Its contained might is too overwhelming – the closer we get to it, the weaker the power from the will of the world…”
Jia Xiangming looked at the four Main Gods in the arena, chuckled and said, “In my opinion, the will of the world will certainly not give up its intention to continue attacking us…”
“However, in this space near the Seven Gods Palace, its power is limited, only constantly channeling into certain individuals with intimate connections…”
“As such, it may act as a reminder or urge to the four Main Gods…”
“And these four fellows, their actual combat power isn’t only what they’ve shown. Their true strength far exceeds twenty thousand Naer. They’re still hiding their abilities, waiting for a third party to intervene… which is to say, they’re waiting for us to get involved!”
At this stage, Jia Xiangming seemed to transform into a different person and provided a surprising analysis that made everyone turn their heads toward him.
Yet he simply shrugged, without giving any explanation and gently chuckled, “This is the best opportunity to complete the mission. Are you guys sure you don’t want to seize it?”
Du Gang stared at this enigmatic temporary ally. Despite the many questions and worries in his heart, when it came to completing the task, he had no choice but to seize the present opportunity.
As Jia Xiangming said, now was the optimal time to complete the task!
“Make your move, target Cang Yu!”
With those words spoken, Kou Yingwu and the rest reacted instantly, launched an attack alongside Du Gang, charging toward Cang Yu’s location.
Leaving everyone puzzled, Jia Xiangming made no moves at all, appearing to enjoy the spectacle.
“Du Gang?!”
Kou Yingwu, similarly unable to figure Jia Xiangming out, didn’t launch directly into action. Instead, he asked Du Gang while on the move.
Without hesitation, Du Gang responded by shaking his head, “Ignore him, we just need to complete our task…”
Understanding Kou Yingwu’s concern, that he worried Jia Xiangming might undermine them from behind, Du Gang confirmed, “Now is the best time to accomplish our mission!”
Hearing this, Kou Yingwu no longer hesitated, radiating the aura of twenty thousand Naer’s divine power and valiantly charged toward Cang Yu.
“Who are those people?”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.
Those already warring in the arena were taken aback, sensing the earth-shaking aura from outside the arena, they felt a touch of panic.
However, this didn’t apply to the four Gods, they didn’t show any surprise but rather displayed a contemplative pose.
“We four are Old Gods, they are New Gods. Who the Child of Destiny is, is clear as day. You all know what to do, right?!”
To Du Gang’s surprise, Fire blurted out their mission’s objective!
Fire seemed to discern his confusion and explained, “The so-called Child of Destiny is one who integrates seven cultivation methods into one. Only this way, can he guide the world’s growth…”
He laughed coldly, shook his head and said, “Sadly, the world’s will didn’t choose us, but the ones it deemed suitable!”
Hearing this, realisation dawned on Du Gang. As he drew close, he asked, “So a year ago, that visitor from the Heavenly Court was also here to kill the Child of Destiny? Was the Child of Destiny at that time one of the three Gods?”
“Smart!”
Fire God showed a praising expression and nodded, “Correct, the Child of Destiny at that time was one of them, which is also why we managed to survive…”
Reaching this point, he appeared melancholic, “Sometimes, we aspire to become the Child of Destiny but upon achieving that identity, we incite your assault…”
Hearing this, Du Gang sank into deep thought.
He pondered, whether by commanding them to kill the Child of Destiny, the Heavenly Court subtly implied something else?
Do the Child of Destiny and the will of the world share a common bond of growth?
What would happen if the Child of Destiny in a world was not killed?
Would he counterattack the Heavenly Court?
Originally he thought this way, but then he mocked himself.
With the Heavenly Court being so powerful, these people would only be considered dominant in their small world. Outside of here, they are nothing!
After all, God Spirit Level entities don’t just exist in this world!
Like for people like them, within a small world they are supreme existences, but in the outer world, they are merely at the bottom of the world power structure.
“Du Gang, how can you be sure that I am the Child of Destiny?”
Seeing the four charging towards him, Cang Yu panicked and exclaimed, “The strongest force here is the Four Gods. If you can slay them first, then regardless of who the Child of Destiny is, you can handle them with ease!”
Du Gang revealed a smile.
“Going by normal logic, you’re absolutely correct, but unfortunately, I’ve used my own method to identify the Child of Destiny!”
His method of seeking and identifying had long since excluded the four Main Gods. And at this moment, these four Main Gods displayed an adequate attitude.
That is, they’re not intervening in the process of the Child of Destiny being killed, indicating that they are resisting the actions of the world’s will!
“Attack!”
As the four neared the center of the battle, they took action simultaneously amidst Cang Yu’s fright.
Among them, the might erupted by Kou Yingwu was the strongest, attaining the attack power of twenty thousand Naer’s divine power.
While Tao Xuanzhu, Lan Zhize, and Du Gang unanimously chose a conventional attack power.
This was under Du Gang’s particular instruction to reserve their strength.
Moreover, he was concerned about the wordplay in the mission description. For instance, the mission is to kill the Child of Destiny. However, there wasn’t an explicit requirement for everyone to take action or to simply ensure the Child of Destiny’s death to complete the task.
That’s why, even if Du Gang was only showing a combat power of eighteen hundred, he still had unleashed his attack.
Concurrently, he was also observing Jia Xiangming secretly, wanting to see if the immobile Jia Xiangming would fail the mission.
He he!
Looking at Du Gang’s feeble assault, Fire God couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
In his view, strength equaled authority. Du Gang representing the five in negotiation meant that his power could crush everyone.
Yet he specifically chose to display a mere power of 1800, which was too conspicuous!
It was evident that if they underestimated them and attempted a one-shot sweep, they would undoubtedly unleash terrifying power!
These guys were indeed careful. Not only let one person show their real strength, they also left one person prepared for contingency.
In his understanding, the reason Jia Xiangming had not acted was to provide support at the critical moment and prevent any mishaps from happening here.
He cycled his gaze amongst the five and finally locked onto Lan Zhize, feeling that he was surely the weakest amongst them!
“Huh?”
“Lan Zhize could not figure out the reason for the strange gaze, he puzzled, “Why does this gaze feel so familiar?”
“Die!”
Unlike Du Gang and the others’ feeble attack, Kou Yingwu launched a full blown attack, issuing an attack with the divine power of twenty thousand Naer.
This was not the same ghostly warhorse he used to display last time, nor was it the knife technique Kou Yingwu usually used. He drew on a spear in the middle of his charge!
Being the descendant of the eighteen riders of the flowing clouds, mastering both swords and spears was a must.
Cang Yu tried to dodge, but he couldn’t because Fire had put him into a bind.
Is he about to die?
At that moment, various scenes flickered through his mind.
Scenes of his youthful wanderings, the joy he felt when he was rescued, and the apprehension he felt when he fell in love with a man.
In the end, these images didn’t last long, leaving him looking at a bright light.
This was a warmth, just like a mother’s caressing hands.
Mom?
At this moment, he felt like he was seeing the person he had never met before, the one who gave birth but didn’t raise him.
Do I have to die to see you?
Looking at the increasingly closer white light, Cang Yu suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Perhaps death is the real liberation, and me living is the greatest sin!
“It’s over!”
Kou Yingwu looked at Cang Yu, who he had just stabbed to death and murmured.
When he was about to kill Cang Yu, that man unexpectedly stretched out his arms as if he wanted to embrace him.
Embrace death?
He knew he would die, so he accepted his fate?
On the ground, the only thing that belonged to Cang Yu was a puddle of blood that dyed the soil red.
Unexpectedly, this pool of blood didn’t remain as usual when a God Spirit Level died. Instead, it slowly turned into a strand of green smoke with the slight breeze, gradually disappearing.
What a weirdo!
[Ding! Task completed, teleportation channel is open!]
“Whoosh!”
A purple thunderbolt from the sky enveloped Du Gang and others in an instant. The next second, the five people in various postures disappeared from this small world.
[Task settlement in progress…]
[This task is a multi-person cooperation task, total reward is 1 merit point…]
[Your basic reward is 2000 merit points…]
[Congratulations, you have received a rank higher than D, starting data analysis…]
[Rating success, your task completion evaluation is A-class, you will receive an extra 70% merit points reward…]
[Your final merit point reward is 3400 points.]
[The task is over, you will have one hour to stay in Heavenly Court, please complete the exchange within one hour.]
[The next task release time is between three to six months, please receive the task and enter the Heavenly Court in time.]
Listening to these continuous prompt sounds, Du Gang’s vision gradually cleared.
The first thing he saw was the large light ball above his head, flickering with bright light.
Looking around, there was no one else. This meant that Kou Yingwu and the others have all returned to their own independent spaces.
“A-class, a 70% extra reward?”
Du Gang nodded, “This means that for every upgrade above the D rank, the reward increases by 10%.”
“However, 3400 merit points, it feels like I can’t exchange it for anything valuable!”
He wasted no time and quickly opened the light ball to check the exchange list.
What he saw first were still the priceless cultivation methods like the Nine Mysteries.
“Heavenly Court, can you filter for me?”
“List all the items I can afford!”
After he tentatively said that, the exchange list that appeared before his eyes did change, turning into a long list of items priced below 3400 merit points.
Looking at the new items for exchange, Du Gang’s mouth twitched.
[Wuliangye: 1580 merit points, Efficacy: …]
[God-whipping Stick (Rank One Divine Artifact): 1000 merit points, Characteristics: …]
“Really?!”
He was helpless as he looked around and found that the things he could afford were mostly fancy but not practical.
Moreover, basic cultivation methods were absent. There were only some tools and other items that looked rather weak.
“Looking at it this way, it’s best to keep the merit points for increase in cultivation!”
Are merit points bad?
Not at all. The Nine Mysteries and some Heavenly Level Cultivation Methods, as well as the means to increase cultivation, are things that one can only dream of obtaining in the outside world.
He shook his head, “Indeed, merit points can be used to purchase things that the outside world cannot provide…”
On the other hand, fruits and some tools can be obtained in the outside world as a supplement.
Quickly, Du Gang made up his mind not to use merit points for the time being. He planned to save them until he accumulated more merit points and then attempt to exchange them for cultivation advancement.
Compared to these external things, he was more eager to improve his cultivation!
“The next task is in three months, I wonder if I will meet them then… ”
Du Gang shook his head, not thinking of these things much, instead, he started thinking about the Ancient City.
This time, the reason he could enter the Heavenly Court was because of the token from a Lost Ancient Town that the Ancient City gave him.
Although it was said to be a relic, in reality, it allowed him to enter the Heavenly Court.
“No matter what, let’s leave first and see what they have to say when I go out!”
Thinking of this, Du Gang loudly said, “Heavenly Court, I want to leave!”
As soon as his words fell, he felt a teleportation force envelop him, and the next second, his vision blurred, and he appeared in the outside world.
“Beiyin Valley…”
After seeing the situation outside, Du Gang frowned.
The place where he appeared was the same place where he had entered the Heavenly Court before.
Does this mean that if someone knows his location, couldn’t they just wait for him here?
Moreover, he previously thought that if he encountered danger, he could hide in the Heavenly Court, but it seems this is not feasible.
“Looks like next time I enter the Heavenly Court, I must be careful not to let anyone find my location…”
Before leaving, he specifically asked the light ball about the way to enter next time, learning that entry into the Heavenly Court doesn’t require a specific location, but varies each time.
Despite being sure that the surroundings were safe and no one else had been there, Du Gang still sneaked all the way and changed to a different spot.
At the same time, he checked the time on the Primordial Daily and found that the days he spent in the Heavenly Court were the same as the time that had passed in the outside world, which meant that time flowed consistently in both worlds.
He quickly found another hidden place and stopped. At the same time, he took out the Message Jade Talisman and contacted Xiang Xinjian.
He needed to clarify the meaning of the Lost Ancient Town!
