Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1117 - 508: The Story of Lu Wu

[Having heard ’Lu Wu’ asking with great interest, you had already confirmed your suspicions and so you continued to answer confidently...]

[If everyone around was transformed by the Heavenly Demon, then why were you able to escape this calamity?]

[Thus, the first thing you did after gaining clarity was to check if you were also one of the many Heavenly Demons.]

[The first scenario is, if the drunkard himself were one of the Heavenly Demons, then what’s there to worry about?]

[You were no longer human but a Heavenly Demon, the situation you faced was not that the whole world was murky except for you. Why fear other Heavenly Demons then?]

[The clarity before your eyes was but a brief moment of residual wisdom, and when you woke up, you might have completely merged into the Heavenly Demon clan.]

[That voice laughed loudly, saying that your perspective in answering was quite novel indeed...]

[True, how would a drunkard know if he himself wasn’t a Heavenly Demon? Perhaps the drunkard was also one of the countless Heavenly Demons.]

[Speaking thus, the voice gradually lost its laughter and spoke solemnly in return.]

[What if another scenario occurs?]

[What if, like the drunkard discovered, this clarity wasn’t a fleeting residual wisdom, but rather that he is truly not a Heavenly Demon, hence he could realize his difference?]

[But, the drunkard was trapped among many Heavenly Demons, enduring the invasion of demonic qi every day. If he didn’t save himself, one day he would be devoured by the Heavenly Demons.]

[If this scenario were to happen, and you were that drunkard, what should you do?]

[You feigned difficulty in answering, if it’s that scenario, then it would indeed be very troublesome...]

[However, if you were that drunkard, it wouldn’t be entirely hopeless.]

[You were fortunate to escape the calamity once, not having been devoured by the Heavenly Demons and turned into another one. Thinking from a different angle, could it be that you are the only lucky drunkard who escaped this fate?]

[If the drunkard wanted to save himself, there was only one way, which was to seek others who were similarly fortunate.]

[A single person’s strength is limited against many, ultimately, the Heavenly Demons would devour him, so why not seek others who are still clear-headed?]

[One man’s effort is not enough to ignite a flame, but many can make it soar. If the drunkard could find more clear-headed individuals, then perhaps he could save himself.]

[Having said this, you then heard that voice laugh loudly, extremely excited, saying that indeed, you are the truly destined one!]

[Come in!]

[As the sound settled, the archway inscribed with ’Mount Kunlun Gate’ radiated golden light...]

[The ’White Elephant Demon’ beside you was utterly confused, scratching his head and saying, Junior Brother, did you just pass the test?]

[Unlike the White Elephant Demon, ’Nine-tailed Fox’ thoughtfully muttered that the Dragon Descendant Lord must have found a kindred spirit. It seems this trip to Mount Kunlun really was the right decision.]

[You led the two through the Mount Kunlun Gate, the world spun around, and the surroundings underwent an earth-shattering transformation!]

[You found yourselves at the peak of a high mountain, looking around: silken clouds shone by the sun, crimson light scattered in nine ways, and amidst the ethereal mist stood several perilous peaks, a truly magnificent celestial scenery.]

[Behind you was the archway-shaped ’Mount Kunlun Gate’; through the columns on both sides of the arch, you could clearly see the scenery of Mount Kunlun you had just seen, this archway seemingly connected two worlds.]

[Not far from the mountain peak stood a grand palace, inscribed above with ’Kunlun Palace’.]

[A man in a yellow robe stood before the palace door, smiling warmly at you.]

[This yellow-robed man appeared tall and majestic, his face faintly showing black and yellow patterns, showing no effort to hide his Demon Clan lineage.]

[You knew this person must be Lu Wu, the legendary ’Lu Wu’ with a tiger’s body and nine tails, a human face and tiger’s paws, perfectly matching the visible traits of the Demon Clan that this man showed.]

[You hastened forward, arriving in front of Kunlun Palace...]

[The yellow-robed man began to introduce the place, saying to you, person of destiny, this place is the real Mount Kunlun, and Kunlun Palace is His ’Lu Wu’s’ court.]

[Speaking, Lu Wu pointed to the north, clouds and mist seemed to be swept away by an invisible hand, revealing a majestic mountain that seemed to be home to many Exotic Beasts.]

[You faintly saw a sheep with four horns, a bird resembling a mandarin duck yet with a needle in its tail, a large red snake, and a mystical Luan Bird preying on the snake...]

[Lu Wu continued, that place is ’Lang Feng Dian’, inhabited by numerous Exotic Beasts and mystical sprites.]

[Speaking, He pointed west, clearing clouds to reveal lush, thriving vegetation and trees covered in snow, colorful shrubs, and lingzhi mushrooms the size of a half-person...]

[That place is ’Xuan Pu Tang’, the Yama’s Garden, home to many mystical plants and treasures of heaven and earth.]

[Next, He pointed east, the clouds dispersed, showing golden platforms and jade towers, you saw the Hall of Jade, the House of Qionghua, the Purple Cui Treasury...]

[There lay ’City of Tianyong’, housing many spiritual treasures and magical artifacts, divine swords.]

[Lu Wu grinned, saying to the ’White Elephant Demon’ and ’Nine-tailed Fox’, as per our prior agreement, you two destined ones may choose one treasure from among these sacred lands.]

[What treasure you obtain depends on your own fortune; if you are not destined for the chosen treasure, do not force it, lest you leave Treasure Mountain empty-handed.]

[The White Elephant Demon stared in awe at the three treasure mountains, his mouth agape without his realizing.]

[Though the Bodhisattva’s Dojo he guarded also housed many treasures, compared to the legendary Mount Kunlun, it paled significantly, a world of difference indeed!]]
