"Keep going, keep going."
"We’ve already gained so much today, of course we need to strike while the iron’s hot."
Pale text refreshed on the phone screen once again.
"The ’Silver Divine Envoy’ even comes with a Twin Blossom form—what a goddamn scam."
"While you’re still shaken, you can’t help but curse."
"You suddenly notice Unknown Evil and Twisted Creatures approaching ’Wind Bell Town.’ It doesn’t take long for you to understand why: the town has lost the blessing of the Golden Divine Envoy and is gradually being swallowed by the unknown terror of the wilderness."
"You don’t dare delay and immediately activate the ’Hidden God’s Clothes.’
"You enter a Hidden State."
"The Unknown Evil and Twisted Creatures roaming nearby do not detect your presence."
"You fall into deep thought."
"Having already obtained [Yellow Beast Blood], the next targets are [Lucky Coin] and [Foolish Snake Skin], both of which are in ’Asgard.’"
"But this God’s Fortress is too mysterious; you’ve only heard its name in passing and have never truly understood it."
"Moreover, ’Asgard,’ made up of the nine divine countries, appears to have issues. It is not as lofty or inviolable as it seems on the surface—it seems not just one ’Evil God’ has infiltrated it."
"Just by briefly interacting with two local residents, you’ve already experienced someone ripping tongues and kidneys."
"Under such harsh conditions,"
"who knows how many times you’d need to die to get even mildly useful information... or maybe you won’t get any at all."
"Perhaps you can probe around with others."
"As the Night Watcher Captain of Fire Stealing Village, Lena might know something about ’Asgard.’"
"Then there’s the ’Six-Faced Monster’ of Dark Mist Town. They were once the leaders of the Six Great Sects, with the Ancient Gods ’Starshine’ and ’Fire Theft’ residing in ’Asgard.’ Perhaps they know its Hidden secrets."
"You now have a rough plan."
"Once again, as an explorer wandering across the remnants of this land while relying on various ’Miraculous Objects’ to force divine forgiveness, you face another crossroads of fate."
"Will you return to ’Fire Stealing Village’ to question Lena about ’Asgard,’"
"or head to ’Dark Mist Town’ for another conversation with the Six-Faced Monster?"
The ever-delightful dilemma of picking one—or so it is for others, but for me, equipped with the official cheat ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ even ’Quasi-legend’ grade items can be farmed repeatedly.
Others can only choose one.
I can choose them all.
Yang Qizhou sank into the sofa and switched to an even more ostentatious pose, staring at the two options on the phone screen with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
"To Lena, the safety of ’Fire Stealing Village’ outweighs everything. Protecting the village’s continuation is so important she’d even sacrifice her own father, yet for now, her attitude towards Game Characters is still relatively friendly. If I were to ask her about ’Asgard,’ she’d probably give me a straightforward answer."
"Ultimately, ’Fire Stealing Village’ is just a small, remote settlement in the wilderness. It’s a place beyond the reach of the gods. I fear it won’t yield much insight into ’Asgard,’ and Lena herself might only know the name ’God’s Fortress.’
"But ’Dark Mist Town’ is different. It’s an upper-level town, and the Six-Faced Monster, as the leader of the Six Great Sects, communicates directly with Ancient Gods and serves as their priest. They’re bound to have more knowledge about ’Asgard.’
"So heading to ’Dark Mist Town’ seems,"
"to have a significantly higher chance of getting accurate information."
Yang Qizhou’s old habit of analysis kicked in again. Without hesitation, he chose ’Two’—heading to ’Dark Mist Town.’ Of course, his confidence was bolstered by the fact that
today, ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ could still be used twice.
At worst, he could reload and choose again.
Having cheats means you can do whatever you want...
"You conclude that compared to Lena from ’Fire Stealing Village,’ the Six-Faced Monster, leader of the Six Great Sects from the upper-level town, would undoubtedly know more about the Hidden secrets of ’Asgard.’
"Times have changed."
"Now, you hold two [Golden Law Books], numerous other powerful Miraculous Objects, and even the ability to combine [Thunder Eye] with [Silver Holy Object] and use the legendary [Storm God’s Scepter] to strike down opponents."
"You feel more confident and activate the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ setting off toward Dark Mist Town."
"You proceed across the wilderness."
"You continue forward."
"You encounter once again the Ancient Dominator feasting on the corpse of a god, and remembering how you almost got discovered last time, you steer clear of it."
"You arrive at the outskirts of ’Dark Mist Town.’
"Two days away, and this town—which has become an abandoned ruin under relentless storms—has grown even more desolate. Swamps cover the ground, Twisted Creatures and Unknown Evils run rampant. The town is being assimilated into the unknown terror of the ’wilderness,’ with only a few still-intact structures showing traces of its weathered history."
"You’re not one for sentimentality."
"Rather than reminiscing, you’re far more interested in high-level props of epic grade or higher."
"You step into ’Dark Mist Town.’
"A monster crosses your path—it’s the same one that killed you before: fish head, tentacles, human body. Its flesh is more twisted, its form more indescribable, and its mental state even more deranged."
"You remain in your ’Hidden’ state, undetected by it."
"Kind of pitiful, really."
"You mutter with a hint of sympathy, but that’s about it."
"You make your way effortlessly to the temple near ’Dark Mist Town,’ but before you even step inside, hear the agonized, despair-filled cries begging for mercy combined with unrestrained madness."
