Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1115 - 507: Lu Wu’s Test, The Question of the Heavenly Demon

Chapter 1115: Chapter 507: Lu Wu’s Test, The Question of the Heavenly Demon

Lin Xun didn’t know what preconditions were needed to become the so-called ’destined one’; perhaps it was purely a matter of luck, that is, there were some hidden conditions.

The Kunlun Mountain before him was under the control of the ’Demon God Lu Wu’, and since the Senior Brother, the White Elephant Demon, also belonged to the Demon Clan, the first thing he thought of was that possessing Demon Clan bloodline might possibly make one a destined one.

He immediately switched to the shell of the Little Dragon person.

[You have taken possession of the shell of the ’Primitive Ancient Dragon seeking knowledge!’]

[The mountain-like heavy pressure on you hasn’t diminished, and you still find it extremely difficult to walk and move.]

Lin Xun frowned.

"It seems it’s not because of the Demon Clan bloodline..."

According to the information obtained from the young Dharma King, a human woodcutter hundreds of years ago was also a destined one who could ascend the gates of Mount Kunlun. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

From this, he deduced that Demon Clan bloodline was not a prerequisite condition to become a destined one.

"Is it really just a matter of luck then?"

With no common traits apparent between the unrelated White Elephant Demon and the human woodcutter, Lin Xun found it difficult to fathom what made them so-called destined ones.

[Seeing that you’ve stopped moving upwards, struggling under the heavy load, the ’White Elephant Demon’ realized something as well.]

[Scratching its forehead, it had not felt an increase in bodily heaviness; did this mean that it was very much in tune with this Mount Kunlun?]

[The ’White Elephant Demon’, feeling somewhat complacent, believed that it must possess wisdom roots to be a destined one.]

[Righteously, it said to you, "Little junior brother, it seems you have no destiny with Kunlun. If you really cannot ascend, perhaps you should wait here while your senior brother climbs to the summit to explore on your behalf."]

[Once it meets ’Lu Wu’, it will speak kindly on your behalf, and maybe that will allow you also to climb up.]]

Lin Xun fell into deep thought; he and the White Elephant Demon possessed the Yin Yang Jewels, which allowed them to teleport between each other.

Having the White Elephant Senior Brother ascend first and then using the jewels to teleport was indeed a good plan.

But there was a problem with this: one couldn’t exert magic on Mount Kunlun, and using the Yin Yang Jewels required the use of magic powers.

If the White Elephant Demon entered the gate and the magic restriction wasn’t lifted, then he could only stare in frustration from the foot of the mountain.

With this thought, Lin Xun started to switch shells again.

If what was needed to enter the gates of Kunlun was luck, then among the many shells in his shell column, perhaps there was one that was destined for Kunlun.

[You have taken possession of the shell of the ’Polar Star Observing Executive!’]

[The terrifying pressure instantly overwhelmed you, and you fell to the ground, unable to move a limb!]

[The burden that was still bearable for the ’Son of Evil’ and the ’Primitive Ancient Dragon’, when taken on by the frail-bodied Executive, was truly too much to ask.]]

[You only felt stuffiness in your chest, as if your blood could no longer flow, about to be crushed to death right here by the mountain-like pressure!]

Lin Xun had no choice but to switch back to the shell of the Son of Evil, and told White Elephant Demon to wait there for a while as he moved down the mountain a certain distance to try again.

White Elephant Demon didn’t know what his little junior brother was up to but obediently complied with his junior brother’s commands and waited in place.

Lin Xun retreated to a safe distance, then began trying various shells, including those of Mages and Ninjas from other worlds, as well as small creature shells from this world.

[You have taken possession of the shell of the ’Fallen Earth Giant!’]

[The heavy pressure remained on your back and shoulders, without the slightest decrease...]

[...]

[You have taken possession of the shell of the ’Feathered Purgatory Angel!’]

[The heavy pressure remained on your body, without the slightest decrease...]

[...]

He continued to switch shells, but none among the many different shells he tried met the standards of a destined one.

"If all else fails, let’s have the White Elephant Senior Brother ascend first..."

In Lin Xun’s heart, there was no longer much hope; he had switched through various shells, and the game text kept indicating a heavy pressure.

[You have taken possession of the shell of the ’Fire Worshiping Master of the Yiye Palace!’]

[You suddenly felt the pressure on your body lighten, the heavy burden that was on you a moment ago disappeared without a trace.]

[Glad in your heart, you immediately tried to climb a few steps up, but no pressure surfaced.]

"This..." Lin Xun had just manifested the shells of a Ninja Master and Fasting King Underchild Princess, who were also Fire Worshipers, but they hadn’t shown any difference.

Now, having switched to the Master of the Yiye Palace, he suddenly became a destined one.

He pulled a wry smile and said, "There really seems to be no rule, becoming a destined one is purely by luck, isn’t it?"

Lin Xun thought so, but still felt something was off.

The Master of the Yiye Palace had several Shikigami demons who were of the pure Demon Clan, could it be related to that?

He immediately summoned several Shikigami.

Both the Snow Woman and the Sly Ghost felt the heavy pressure, but the Nine-tailed Fox felt nothing, clearly also a destined one.

"This is really strange!"

The difference between the Nine-tailed Fox and the Snow Woman and Sly Ghost lay in their ancestry; the Nine-tailed Fox Ancestor was also from Vermilion, and it was only after the Nine-tailed Fox Clan couldn’t mix well in Vermilion that they moved to the Overseas Sakura Fall.

Both the White Elephant Demon and the Nine-tailed Fox were indigenous demons of Vermilion, and if the precondition for a destined one was such, then both definitely qualified.

Yet, this explanation did not account for why the Master of the Yiye Palace and the woodcutter from hundreds of years ago were destined ones.

[The Nine-tailed Fox surveyed the surrounding scenery and asked, "Dragon Descendant Lord, where is this place? Why can’t we use demon magic or magical powers here?"]
