《Gaming God》 A New Life Wang Yu watched hopelessly as another heavenly body is being eaten away by the Great Void. No matter how powerful he is, that a single flick of his finger can annihilate planets, he was still powerless to stop this unknown existence. The Great Void was first spotted at the space outside heavenly dragon great world. There was an asteroid belt located at that region but somehow a cylindrical void appeared in the midst of the said asteroid belt. The cultivators that were familiar with the area grew curious because this phenomena could mean an opportunity for them to reap great rewards if it happen to be a mystic realm. But contrary to what many thought, all object or any lifeform that entered the area just vanished and never returned. First they thought that all those people were somehow teleported to another dimension but millions of years have passed yet no one has returned. Also, as time passed the cylindrical space continuously grew bigger that the previous asteroid belt is no more to be seen. When it started nearing the heavenly dragon great world the whole galaxy was alarmed. There is no such terrifying phenomena recorded in the history of this vast universe. It is more terrifying than a black hole which is the worse natural occurrence. Even comparing them is not worth mentioning. Why so? Because experts from the heavenly dragon great world already made their move to stop the great void but to no result. The top expert and ruler of the heavenly dragon great world, heaven devouring dragon Zhao Tian who can devour black holes disappeared without a trace. Most probably devoured by the great void. Now Wang Yu an Elder God naturally born from the universe, a race highest amongst all lifeforms face his impending doom, for the first time he felt despair. Unlike other Elder Gods, he is the only one who lives in the chaotic region of the universe or also known as the outer region. Here only the sturdiest of materials exist because the chaotic laws here creates pressure that will shrink all object into nothingness. The farther one goes out, the stronger the pressure while the rarest heavenly materials are common as clouds. Not many knew of Wang Yu¡¯s existence and all who knew thought that he was born there which explains his tolerance to the region. But all of his achievements are credited to his strong desire to reach the limits of the outer region. He never cared for territory, power over many or supremacy against other elder gods. He just want to challenge this wall while the other elder gods plotted each other. ¡°If I have more time maybe I can see what¡¯s behind that gray fog.¡± Wang Yu sigh to himself. ¡°I can still be considered quite lucky because this great void started at the center of the universe going outwards which makes me the only living that remains.¡± He can¡¯t help but to have a wry smile when thinking of these thoughts. ¡°But ALAS! Its now or never.¡± Wang Yu flew towards the gray fog at top speed. He had not done this kind of act before. Unlike today he used to thread this region slowly while circling around the region eating those heavenly materials on the way to nourish his body and with the help of the pressure his body would improve in quality. Other elder gods may not see the importance of these heavenly materials because they thought their bodies are the most perfect of all lifeform and eating these will bring them no benefits at all. They are just too afraid to try something that can bring them death. Given that he is quite adept with the current pressure level Wang Yu¡¯s purpose is to gain enough momentum so that when he arrive at a point where the pressure levels increase drastically even when his body starts to crumble his speed would be enough for him to reach the fog considering there was still left of him. This is a huge gamble but compared to taking it slowly and upgrading his body further will give him no chance od survival at all because the great void will out run him. SWOOOSH! Like diving in the water his speed slowly decreased while his form slowly shrunk. While he continued to be propelled forwards the pain he was bearing is much worse than he ever felt before. He wanted to grit his teeth but he was doing it before he thought so because his whole body tightened that even breathing is impossible to do. Thus he lost consciousness unawares of what¡¯s happening anymore. Even a atom of his body is now nowhere to be seen when he reached 100m away from the gray fog but a tiny fragment of a soul reached and passed through the fog several seconds later. Deep in Wang Yu¡¯s consciousness, Wang Yu is sleeping peacefully. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. ¡°I never felt this tired before, is this the feeling of death?¡± This words came out from his mouth through murmuring while asleep. Realizing that he was still able to speak this jolted him awake. Soon he felt his energy coming back although he felt so weak it was enough to let him check his current condition. ¡°I can¡¯t feel any of my limbs, maybe because I was reduced to my soul form.¡± As Wang Yu speak of this he soon heard cries of a woman calling unto him. He couldn¡¯t understand any word she spoke except she was calling his name ¡°Yu¡¯er, Yu¡¯er¡±. Although he doesn¡¯t recognize her voice, he felt warmth with a tinge of pain building inside his chest. Then he felt the beating of his heart and the flow of blood rushing to his brain. His eyes slowly opened and the first thing he saw was the face of a crying middle aged woman. As soon as he saw her face, memories flooded unto him. Not his memories but rather this other person¡¯s memories. He never forgotten his own memories to begin with but rather acquired another. Wang Yu knew many things in the vast universe but emotion is least he has knowledge or experience about. He was curious in various things but he never really cared about other existence. The fact in front of him clearly shows that he now has someone he cared for, which is proven by the tears streaming down his eyes when he remembered everything. Although not truly his memories, it lives within him like he was actually this person. ¡°Yu¡¯er you finally woke up. I was worried that I will never see you open your eyes once again.¡± Wang Yuwei sobbed as she touched the cheek of her son. ¡°Everything will be alright now mom.¡± Wang Yu replied. Yuwei was happy to see of how calm his son was despite just waking from a comma. This gave her new hope for their future. ¡°Mom how long was I unconscious?¡± Wang Yu asked. ¡°It¡¯s almost been ten years, in fact tomorrow will be your father¡¯s death aniversar¡­¡± Yuwei honestly answered her son¡¯s question but remembered that doesn¡¯t know anything yet, so she suddenly cut her sentence but it was too late because she said it already. She thought that this news will shock her son but Wang Yu replied ¡°Next year I will definitely come with you mom to visit fathers grave.¡± He was sad with his families circumstance but he already accepted everything. ¡°Mom I need to rest now.¡± Wang Yu said while closing his eyes. Moments later medical staffs came to the room and check on him. They asked his mother questions about the behavior of the patient when he woke up. Wang Yu just let them do their work while pretending to sleep. He was busy thinking how to recover faster. Although his soul is badly damaged but his consciousness is still strong enough to inspect his body condition. With just a mortal body he can easily recover fully but the problem is the absence of Immortal energy. He was quite knowledgeable of a mortal world¡¯s resources. And this particular mortal world where technology thrives, it¡¯s almost impossible to find a place where there are immortal veins that nourish the land to make it appropriate place for cultivation. Although there is a chance for heavenly resources to appear but it¡¯s very rare to happen. Wang Yu look down on the medical practice of this kind world, instead of curing completely their ways leave hidden wounds or lead to other complications. As Wang Yu racked up his brains to think of a way to ensure his full recovery he¡¯s also listening to the conversation of the doctor and his mother, ¡°Madam the medical world has made a great breakthrough this past decade thanks to this virtual reality game called Immortal Heroes Online. Together with this technology and our physical therapy, persons with nervous condition will only take a few months to recover. Especially in the case of your son that has been in a comatose state for almost ten years. For him to wake up clear headed and able to speak is a miracle. So I suggest to let your son undergo this program.¡± ¡°I understand, Doctor please do everything you can to help my son.¡± Yuwei replied hurriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Madam this program since it¡¯s first introduced till this day has a one hundred percent success rate. And your son¡¯s condition is much better that expected. For him to speak straight right away indicates he didn¡¯t suffer any brain damage. Moreover this game have proven to improve physique of its players and some even gained superpowers.¡± ¡°I think I have heard of this game before, I think my niece plays it as well.¡± Yuwei was astounded my the doctor¡¯s words. She thought that Xu Ling¡¯s enthusiasm with that game was really to better herself, not just being lazy playing some game to pass time. ¡°I can tell that its popularity isn¡¯t exaggerated, even I at my age started playing it but it seems its effects on older people is not much compared to the young ones.¡± The doctor said embarrassingly. The doctor added, ¡° Madam your son is still young so he should be fine.¡± As Wang Yu listened to their conversation, he thought to himself, ¡° This should be an Inheritance left by a major power disguised as some game. For him to put it in a lowest of the low mortal world, He must be hiding some kind secret within it. Whatever his reasons are, this is a good opportunity for me. But for now I really need some rest.¡° Immortal Heroes Online The next day when Wang Yu woke up again, his mother wasn''t present. The doctor immediately arrived to checked on him. During the assessment, the doctor was astounded the whole time because the doctor knew that Wang Yu was only ten years old when he got into a car accident. Although Wang Yu didn¡¯t have a fatal head injury, the accident should have an effect on his mental and emotional aspect. But contrary to the doctor''s expectation, Wang Yu¡¯s answers to his questions were calm and direct, so unlike to a ten year old boy. What¡¯s even more astonishing was that he can clearly remember his past fond memories with his parents, his childhood milestones like going to kindergarten and of course the day of the accident. The doctor can see Wang Yu¡¯s sadness when he narrated the events that day but the doctor wasn¡¯t able to detect the hatred on his eyes. The doctor did not plan for their conversation to go this far but it was just Wang Yu who honestly answered the question, ¡° What can you remember?¡± There was even a phrase before the question, ¡° You don¡¯t have to tell me everything, just the things you want to talk about.¡± With just Wang Yu¡¯s behavior the doctor can tell that Wang Yu has already moved on and viewed his current situation positively. He can¡¯t help but to admire how strong this should-be ten year old child. After confirming that Wang Yu''s vital signs being normal, the doctor gave Wang Yu a detailed history about the game and some basic information on what to do when he got there. Immortal Heroes Online is the leading company in the planet. It officially started its operation seven years ago. Although its just a gaming company, its supporters came from different fields of industry, most notably the medical and sports sector. While it is known that Immortal Heroes Online developers don''t have authority inside the game itself, it still has the power to deny access into the game. The game world is governed by an independent AI named Miracle. Immortal Heroes Online has always been a free to play game with all its in-game features are available to every players given they have enough currency to buy an item, no cash shop system and no selling gold for credits NPC. As long as you have virtual gear with a Immortal Heroes Online chip on it, you can now gain access to your game character. More like a one time payment for the chip. Although the virtual gear plus chip was quite expensive which would cost at least two hundred thousand credits, it has a lifetime warranty so many gaming cafe invested on them. You can only have one character in game no matter if you changed virtual gears. So when it picked up much interest after a year of its launch, the company then started a funding campaign saying, " If the quota have not been met we will be forced to shut down." Or should we say, " We have hostages, now pay up." They also posted that they''ll never sell their company to anyone. Like saying, " There are no room for negotiation." " The nerve of them on playing terrorist is really admirable. What do they think of their game? Even though it''s free to play they shouldn''t go that far just to waste a year of one''s effort." " Bro don''t be bothered with this crappy video game anymore, you should set your full attention into this coming marathon. I''m sure that if you spend more time in your training, you''ll easily win this event. For the past year, your improvement has been heaven defying even with all your video game antics, how much more if you give it your all?" A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.It arouse many criticism especially to the non-players who heard about the news but surprisingly most players kept their silence on the matter which mystified many since they are the one''s most affected of the happenings. Unknown to many, the players were secretly raising funds to met with the said quota but because the deadline was nearing the players group was eventually forced to reveal the game''s benefits to the general public. The revelation was just too shocking, many who gave their testimony were famous athletes, most of them were rising stars just that year which made huge waves in their respective field of sports. They were called cheaters by fellow athletes but those who mocked them were soon shutten up because it was proven that their enhancement was due to natural cause and some even stopped taking legal body enhancing formulas. There is also improved health for the elderly and faster recovery for the sick. Although there are still no scientific explanation of the players body evolution that seems that nature just taking its course, but all this is attributed to playing Immortal Heroes Online. As their characters level up, their real life body condition would also improve. The whole federation was intrigued by the revelation that it has become a global phenomena which lead to the easily completion of the ten billion credits quota. And as expected an influx of players came into the game. Because of the high one time price many still rejected playing video games would improve their lives so its enticement only affect the young ones, athletes, body enthusiast, military/police, and people who''s jobs are physical oriented. And there''s the Church of the Sacred Light the number one religion in the planet who discourage all it members from playing Immortal Heroes Online which constitutes a half of the planets population. Now six years later the Immortal Heroes Online revolutionized human society where many superhuman exist. After listening all of this Wang Yu had a sudden realization, " If this virtual reality game made such an impact then why does mother don''t seem to be knowledgeable of it?" Wang Yu asked himself doubtingly. Because he knew that his family is sitting in the upper level of the society and his mother only heard it from Xu Ling. Wang Yu already had a bad premonition yesterday when he saw his mother wearing a rather ordinary clothes, although she still look beautiful, it is quite noticeable that she had neglected in maintaining her appearance as a Madam of a Wang Family and she was much thinner than he remembered. The tragedy may have some effect on her but he knew his mother, although she''s quite naive but she''s a strong woman that will not succumb, also she still have Xu Ling with her. "Doctor, do you know who''s paying my hospital bills?" Wang Yu suddenly asked. The doctor who knew the background story was conflicted to answer but chose to tell the truth, "Well part of it is from your medical insurance and of course your mom is paying for the remaining sum." He didn''t elaborate any further, afraid of touching on a sensitive topic. Wang Yu didn''t pursue his questioning because what he got is enough for him to understand how bad the situation was. Rather than feeling depressed, he was now much eager to get off this hospital bed as early as possible. "Doctor please start the program." Wang Yu''s eyes are filled with determination as tell this words. Thinking of the situation of this mother and son the doctor felt pity and replied, "Ok, ...nurse put on the virtual gear on the patient carefully and when everything is in order, activate the console." Soon Wang Yu saw a message box which is titled "Terms and Conditions", Wang Yu remembered the doctor said that it''s just for formality purposes and needn''t to be bothered reading it, so he checked the box "I have read and understand it" at the bottom of the messages box and clicked "I agree". After he clicked "I agree", Wang Yu felt a strong suction force pulling his soul away from his body. Others may not felt it because they don''t have the ability to resist it but Wang Yu is different, he knew it was too late because he already agreed the contract and his soul strength is far from enough to revoke it. All he could do now is cry from getting scammed. Chapter 3 Wang Yu¡¯s¡¯ soul was unwillingly pulled by the suction force. ¡°That terms and conditions thing is a forced oath and soul search arts. On top of that I didn¡¯t felt any pain when my soul was searched which means my hunch is right that a major power is behind this, because that soul searching art has been perfected to such degree, even with my injured soul, to search my soul without me noticing is very formidable. And I only noticed it after. The oath is quite simple though, it just said to never divulge to anyone the secrets of this realm and only when I have enough strength to fight his enemies then shall I have to fight them. I feel sorry for all those people who played this game, they know nothing that their everything were seen. Crap, I can¡¯t believe that I willingly let them search my soul, now whoever is behind this game already knows my identity, I wonder how would they react.¡± Wang Yu grinned as he thought of this. Wang Yu was not concerned about his identity being revealed, he just doesn¡¯t like the feeling of being tricked. But since the case was already been done might as well face it head on. Soon Wang Yu felt his physical body but he knew this was different one because he can actually move his limbs now. ¡°So an exact avatar of my mortal body is made on this side.¡± Wang Yu thought to himself. But before Wang Yu could opened his eyes, he heard a sweet voice of a woman saying, ¡°Your Majesty welcome to Immortal Heroes Online! My name is Miracle, would you like to retain your original appearance or have a healthier version of you?¡± These snapped open Wang Yu¡¯ s eyes in shock, not because of the woman¡¯s beautiful voice nor her calling him, ¡°Your Majesty.¡± ¡°You still have the nerve to joke about my appearance after you called me your majesty?¡± Wang Yu asked irritably. Wang Yu is proud by nature and he knew this person knew him all too well already, so what¡¯s up with the unnecessary comments. In immortal Heroes Online your original facial features will be retained. For customizing your character one has the freedom to alter only the texture of your skin, skin color, body type and appearance by age. To further explain appearance by age is for example at present you are just a thin teenage boy, with this feature you can choose a buffed version of you at the late 20¡¯s. The system can calculate the everything as long as your original identity will not be altered. This is because if you want to disguise yourself in-game, there are many secret arts that can help you with that. Miracle responded with a smile and said, ¡°So his Majesty wishes to retain his appearance?¡± Wang Yu looked at the woman, she is a heaven defying beauty with long golden hair that waves down until her knees. She wore a white laced dress that showed her pale white shoulders. She didn¡¯t wear any footwear and just floated an inch above the ground. They were in a place that everything is white, he can¡¯t even see the ground but knew he was stepping on something. As how Wang Yu knew she was floating, he just can tell it so. ¡°Of course I don¡¯t want to change it.¡± Wang Yu lost all his anger after he saw this na?ve looking girl. Although his current self looks rather pitiful, Wang Yu is a proud person so he would never hate himself no matter what he looks. ¡°There will be changes of your majesty¡¯s character because master has set character penalties incase such accidents to happen for fairness sake. Your majesty¡¯s character will be penalized with only gaining 1% of the total experience points when killing monsters and 5% of the total experience when completing a quest.¡± Before Miracle could continue explaining. ¡°Why don¡¯t you stop calling me your majesty if you''re treating me this poorly.¡± Wang Yu interjected when he heard those outrageous penalties because he was informed by the doctor that monster grinding is the main source of experience in the game. That means he needs to kill a hundred times more monsters while regular players only need to kill one monster of the same kind to have the same amount of exp. Taking quest missions also rewards tons of experience but they usually take a lot of time to complete and with the experience penalty, completing won¡¯t be worth it considering the amount of time you spend unless you¡¯re after the item rewards or reputation rewards. But unknown to Wang Yu if the master of this inheritance world is present he would set an even more outrageous penalty, it¡¯s just he never thought of such existence like Wang Yu would appear in his inheritance world and the probability was just impossible so he just set 1% of the total experience gained the penalty limit.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡°Oh no! I can¡¯t do that your Majesty because master said that, I have to address a higher being with great respect.¡± Miracle hurriedly replied. ¡°Where is your master then? I want to talk to him.¡± Wang Yu probed Miracle. ¡°Sorry your Majesty, but I cannot answer your question.¡± Although Miracle maintained her smiling face, but with Wang Yu¡¯s perception, he was still able to detect her sadness which verified his guess that for the master of this inheritance world, to hide his inheritance in a mortal world, he had paid it with his life. The reason is that, mortal worlds are located into dimensions which are cut-off from the universe where there is almost to nothing immortal energy present here. These worlds are the product of minor gods creating their own world but since they¡¯re just minor figures, their worlds have no right to exist in the universe or it¡¯ll be destroyed by a random higher being, so they chose to hide them in these dimensions. Major powers don¡¯t like to share their territory with irrelevant figures and almost all of space have been overlorded by these powers. So why would a major existence¡¯s inheritance located here? The most probable answers is that he was hiding here gravely injured and unwilling to give up his fight, he used the remaining of his life force to make his inheritance world. Fight between major powers can go through eternity, unless the winning side thoroughly purged the defeated. It will be no surprise if the defeated descendant would pick a fight with them in the future. And this appeared to be the case in this Immortal Heroes Online, he had thoroughly disguised his inheritance in a virtual reality gaming world and purpose of the ¡°terms and conditions¡± at the start is to prevent information from leaking out. ¡°Is that all you have to say? Can I start now?¡± Wang Yu was getting impatient because of the penalty, his plan to get off that hospital as early as possible would seem to be much delayed. ¡°Your Majesty will you change the name of your character or use another one?¡± Miracle added. ¡°I¡¯m fine with using my real name.¡± Wang Yu didn¡¯t bother with naming. ¡°Then that¡¯s all your Majesty, I will not hold you any longer. Good luck.¡± Miracle waved her hands to Wang Yu, then he transformed into a ball of white light that shot into the distance. After Wang Yu disappeared Miracle is still floating in that space speaking to herself, ¡°Master looks like your luck has come, but why do you have to make him come through this much trials even impairing his progress. If such an existence would carry out your plan, isn¡¯t it much easier just to give him everything? Aye, I just can¡¯t understand why people complicate things so much. But for me to actually met with an Elder God hehe, master would be jealous if he knew. Only that I don¡¯t know where did master have gone to?¡± Na?ve as she is, Miracle has no clue that her master has already left her forever. Usually, Miracle doesn¡¯t meet with players but when she knew of Wang Yu, she was very interested in meeting him and for the first time disobeyed her master¡¯s orders. Her reason aside from curiosities sake, she want to brag to her master her achievement. Although Miracle¡¯s master is an incredible figure but Elder Gods are the apex existence known in the universe, the creators. However she won¡¯t ever have the opportunity to tell him this. And also she was very curious of what would be Wang Yu''s reaction on seeing because her master usually brag that Miracle was his best creation that even Elder Gods would be interested in her. However, Wang Yu was plain as blank paper, that is why she teased him a bit but this was to be expected because the current him is too weak to see through her. --- Now Wang Yu has reached his destination after being transported by the ball of white light. He is now standing at the center of a array magic circle. Wang Yu looked around his surroundings with a smile on his face, ¡°This all affirms my guess, with the presence of immortal energy here, I can now start cultivating.¡± But before Wang Yu could try it out, a person hurriedly approached him and greeted him, ¡°Greetings newcomer and welcome to Raccoon Village, my name is Rakan the Village Chief.¡± Chapter 4 Wang Yu was amazed because when the village chief was just approaching he could see a [?] above his head but now when he was done introducing himself, the [?] is now replaced with [Village Chief, Rakan. ¡°Ah, is this suppose to help me remember their names, how convenient.¡± Wang Yu thought to himself while smiling at the village chief, he found this game feature amusing. Rakan continued with a question, ¡°Before I start with the basic introduction, If I may ask, what should we call you?¡± ¡°My name is Wang Yu, nice meeting you village chief.¡± Wang Yu answered. Rakan nodded and continued his speech, ¡°For you to be specifically sent to our Raccoon Village out of thousands of others means that you and our village are tied in destiny, so from now on, Wang Yu, you are now a citizen of this village. As long as you¡¯re within the village¡¯s territory you are under the protection of our village. All outsiders will have to think twice if they want to harm you and of course since our tribe follows the righteous path, you have to uphold justice and do no evil. Be careful though, when your health points reaches zero or die, a forth of your total exp will be lost and all the items you¡¯re carrying will be dropped except for the bound one¡¯s. Be sure to visit the village altar to leave your soul imprint there, if incase you suffer death, you will be revived at the altar and not be just randomly revived at the wilds. I advise that before you venture outside the village, take a few tours around the village first, you learn some interesting things that can be of help.¡± The ? of total exp penalty when dead, is the price to pay for remolding the body but if resurrected on the spot, the penalty is just 1/8 total exp. Though the penalty is still heavy considering losing so much exp hard to make, it still decrease your losses by a half. ¡°Thank you for your kindness village chief.¡± Wang Yu replied. ¡°Oh.. If this is the case, being randomly assigned to a village, it would be hard for me to meet up with someone I know in real life.¡± Wang Yu thought to himself while thinking over Rakan¡¯s words. ¡°And death is not an option for me because every exp I gained is hard earned for sure. For me to die is a huge waste in my part.¡± ¡°As you just have started your path in cultivation, I¡¯ll explain to you some basic things you need to know. Every time you level up, you¡¯ll receive 3 talent points which you can add to improve your 3 talents. These 3 talents are the body, the essence and the soul. Adding talent points to your body will improve all aspects with regards to your physical body, like your stamina and strength. Adding points to your essence will increase your body¡¯s compatibility with the world essence which allows you to faster absorb, store more, faster transform more world essence, you will gain the ability to use secret arts, martial skills and world magic¡¯s. Adding points to your soul increases your ability to comprehend and fine control of your powers. The power of your soul also affects your capability to maximize the strength of your body and ability to use your essence externally. Adding a point to a talent will also will also slightly improve the other two because in theory these three are connected with each other.¡± Rakan explained. ¡°I know my explanation is kind of lacking because what I just have told you are the limits of my abilities, a true master can elaborate everything but finding one at your level is impossible. Even me, at my age have never seen such legendary experts. Now its up to you on how you distribute your talent points. Your talents will also increase through practicing various things, consuming heavenly objects and encountering fruitious events. Your base talent is equal to your past, before you came here. Of course here it starts with zero but your past talents are still there, so nothing wasted. Remember in the path of cultivation there are no mistakes, you just have to move forward. ¡± Village chief Rakan further explained. ¡°Before I bade my farewell, I have a gift for you in behalf of Raccoon Village.¡± Village Chief Rakan passed an ordinary looking box to Wang Yu. And when Wang Yu received it disappeared from his hand, ¡°Ting.¡± A system message has appeared saying, ¡°You have just received a newbie box.¡± ¡°Thank you for your gift village chief.¡± Wang Yu thoughtlessly replied. He was still deeply in thought with the information he received from village chief Rakan, so his actions were just instinctive respond to the happenings. Village chief Rakan nodded and hurriedly left. ¡°So with such a set up, I should have a great advantage in the soul aspect. Following the doctors advice, if I put every talent points to body, my real body¡¯s recovery will be faster. Here, immortal energy is referred as world essence, maybe because their orthodox path of cultivation is more perfect than my past universe. The cultivators in my past are quite lacking in terms with their body cultivation and even the other Elder Gods thought their physical body to be the peak.¡± Wang thought to himself. Even with this little hints, he was able to conclude that this universe is a superior one in terms of cultivation. But what Wang Yu was ignorant about is the difference between Gods and Cultivators. At first the universe is like a huge metal cage with only few lifeforms exist and these lifeforms were called Elder Gods. When they discovered that there¡¯s someone exist besides them in this huge empty space, a normal person¡¯s reaction would be happy, but it seems that they all are natural born enemies because there was only conflict when Elder Gods met, however no one managed to kill anyone, their strength is equal and cooperation between Elder Gods is impossible.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! These conflicts continued until an Elder God made discovery on how to improve his powers, through using his own flesh and blood he created the first great world and cultivated the world essence along with immortal energy. Being the creator of the world enabled perceive the laws faster. Immortal energy enables perception of the true laws of space and time while world essence enables the perception of the new laws including the minor space and time laws, this is why only the Elder Gods have eternal life. With a new power at his deposal, that Elder God managed to kill another god but he had done the feat with much difficulty. He thought that he was special from the others because he manage to create a new cultivation method and it was only unique to him but when they were in battle, he realized that he was gravely wrong. He was just the key holder of the many that entered the treasure room. By just fighting with him the other Elder God manage to learn the new laws and even made an addition but the other Elder God¡¯s struggle was put in vain, eventually the other Elder God died due to his injuries that weakened him greatly. This greatly alarmed him but it was too late because after an Elder God¡¯s death came a phenomena that allowed the others to have a knowledge of the happenings. The others too, hastily created their own great worlds to improve their power. Elder God Yopa, the first Elder God to make a great world never stopped his hunt and found a second prey. He too succeeded for the second time in a pyrrhic victory because all of the Elder Gods except Yopa, inherited the deceased Elder God¡¯s laws. Which made Yopa realized that now killing other Elder Gods gives him no advantage at all but just disadvantages, so he stopped his killing spree. With this, the whole universe once again came into standstill in conflicts but in terms of activity, worlds were created. The whole cosmos was filled heavenly bodies, lifeforms thrived, mortals cultivated and some of these cultivators became Gods themselves. The only criteria to be called a God, is the creation of a world which gives birth to lifeforms. But satisfying such criterion requires a body cultivation in God level and the process was very difficult because the creator should have enough understanding of space and time laws. The greatest benefit of creating a world though is that it will deepen the God¡¯s understanding in the space and time laws. This is the main difference between a cultivator and a God. There might be cultivators that is far stronger than a God in terms of combat power but it still impossible for a cultivator to kill a God just because of this difference. Based on the criteria Wang Yu can¡¯t be called a God but being one of those first existence he can considered as one. Beside no one knew the fact that he never created something. Even Miracle who saw everything in Wang Yu¡¯s past haven¡¯t understood everything in his memories. This is because of the Elder Gods Mastery of the space and time laws, they often stay at a place with different perceived space and time which made her unable to recognize that such memory exist. Imagine watching drama movie that is fast forwarded into a thousandth times, then good luck to you remembering even the title of the movie, what more of its dialogues. Or talking to someone face to face but your actual distance is billions of light-years away. --- ¡°This village chief is quite helpful, however I can¡¯t help but feel he is hiding something. I can feel his anxiety while explaining things like he want to get it done already and aren¡¯t there supposed to be a crowd villagers to welcome a new citizen, but they just stood afar taking a few secret glimpse which is kind of weird. They just left all the custom responsibility to the poor old chief.¡± Wang Yu smirked as he thought of this, he was pretty sure that some thing is up with this villagers behavior. But for now could do nothing for it so he just shove this thought at the back of his mind. Wang Yu was still unfamiliar with his current situation so he chose to first examine these various tabs in his consciousness. He first check his character status window. [Character Name] Wang Yu [Character Level] 0 [Status] Afflicted with {God Suppressing Curse} [Cultivation Method] None [Bloodline] Human [Title] None [Guild] None Health Points: [1/1] Essence Points: [0/0] [Talent Points] 0 Body: 0 Essence: 0 Soul: 0 ¡°Base on this status window, I¡¯m pretty much a weakling with just taking on only a hit, I¡¯d be dead. This {God Suppressing Curse} should be?¡± Wang Yu hovered on the status and a link window popped out. {God Suppressing Curse} The user that is afflicted will suffer an experience points penalty when killing monsters and completing quests. [This curse is permanent] ¡°So I¡¯m a cursed weakling now, how is that even fair.¡± Wang Yu was slightly depressed when reminded with the penalty. Then Wang Yu next checked his inventory and was surprised what he found. In the item slots, two slots were filled, the second item slot is filled with an ordinary looking box and the first one is a bracelet. ¡°When did I got this bracelet?¡± Wang Yu asked himself. But when he examined the bracelet, he soon realized its origin. [Miracle¡¯s Pity](Bracelet, Unique Item) An item that has formed due to Goddess Miracle¡¯s compassion. A tool to do the impossible. Special Skill(True Miracle): Allows the user to use an ability or an item active ability, no matter what are the conditions that restricts from using an ability or an item active ability. For example: the user is still able to use teleport even with the surrounding space is locked or the user is able to use an on cooldown ability or item active ability . Charges: [1/1] Restores 1 charge everyday. ¡°What is this? Is that girl serious or is she just too na?ve? Is she making a joke while giving me this thing?¡± Wang Yu was shocked with the bracelet¡¯s description. But contrary to Wang Yu¡¯ questions, even Miracle doesn¡¯t know that her pity for him having a hard time gaining exp would manifest into an item. And if she would know about it, she would not find any fault of such an item. ¡°Aside from mocking me, although I don¡¯t understand much of this game but this skill should allow me to turn around a hopeless situation.¡± Wang Yu was still happy with the item skill. Wang Yu then went to open the second item in the item slot. Chapter 5 The rather ordinary looking box is made of rough wood when Wang Yu took it out from his inventory. It didn''t seem anything special or something dagerous is kept inside it, so Wang Yu just casually opened the box. You have obtained a newbie knife. You have obtained a basic skill book. You have obtained a Raccoon Village token. Then Wang Yu examined the newbie knife. [Newbie Knife](Weapon, Common Item) A handy weapon to kill small creatures. Next Wang Yu opened the basic skill book. "Ting." System Notification: Congratlations you have learned the basic fire mastery. Skills menu has been unlocked. "Hmm, this fire mastery sounds similar to the weird power to that second Elder God I ate. Its so weak but he seemed proud of possessing it." Wang Yu remembered. "Well this is better than nothing. I wonder how this things works." Wang Yu proceeded to check the skills menu. He skipped looking into the third item because he knewthat the token should be his identification as a villager. On the skills menu there was only one icon present, it was the basic fire master icon. [Basic Fire Matery] You are now able to perceive the fire laws. Enables the user to manipulate the basic laws of fire. The basic requirement to use fire type abilities. You must learn or create an ability and practice it to improve your skill proficiency. Skill Proficiency: 1 The descriptionquite shocked Wang Yu because when he had recieved the system message that he just learned basic fire mastery, he was able to observe the some little changes in his environment but the truth is that, he was the one that has changed or rather his perception. He can now observe tiny fire wisps floating in the surroundings and he was sure that he can call on them. So Wang Yu held his palm upward that looks like a begging stance and call on to this fire wisps, which this fire wisps rapidly gather into his palm to form a ball fire. These fire wisps were invisible to the eye of ordinary people but now it has become distinct. "Ting!." System Notification: Congratulations you have learned a new ability [Fire Ball] Wang Yu was so excited with his new ability that he wants to fire it on the spot but an... "Insufficient Essence points" message appeared when he tried to cast it. "Oh I need tohave essence points first to cast this ability, what a shame." Wang Yu was quite depressed when learned this fact. He really was ready to try it. Then Wang Yu take look at his wrist and a grin replaced the somewhat frowning of his face while he said, "It would be a waste to try it just for this. I better save it, maybe I''ll find an interesting use for it today." "Lets see if gathering Immortal energy increases my essence points." Wang Yu the took a deep breath and through his powerful soul guided the immortal energy he sucked to his dantian to form an immortal seed but again Wang Yu received a system message saying, "Unknown and dangerous cultavation method detected, your practice will be invalid." "What''s the meaning of this?" Wang Yu frowned, confused why his cultivation technique did not worked. In truth, he was just really ignorant of how a world work, if he were able to absorb the space and time laws in this world, it will make this world unstable and soon cruble into ruin, so only world essence cultivation is practicable here while absorbing immortal energy is prohibited. This rule does not only apply in this world but also in majority of other worlds. This is why mostly in a world,other Gods are prohibited. However, minor world such as where Wang Yu''s true body is located is an exemption because its theleast of the worlds which was made through the scant understanding of a minor Gods space and time laws. So, manifestation of space and time laws in these minor worlds is highly unlikely nearing to impossibility.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. "Do I need to follow this inferior path? Or am I just missing something? Maybe my aloofness in the past has forsaken me,my knowledge to the important things in cultivatingfrom a mortal beginnings. Come to think of it, I just wandered around the worlds those other Elder Gods created and never thought much about it since I know, I too has the ability to create such things but I can''t see the reason in doing so. The benifits are just too weak compared to eating the outer region''s resources." "Oh well, I''ll just take a stroll in this village first before going out to gain some exp." So Wang Yu stopped his idling and step out of the array magic circle and headed to the village altar which is located at the center of the village square. "There is really something wrong in this village." As Wang Yumade his way to the villlage altar, he can''t help but observed that some of the people he came-by are purposely evading him and they were obviously residents of this village.Outsider npc''s and players would obviously not mind him but the npc''s in sidewalk stalls and shops would not greet him when the custom of such npc''s would greet any potential costumers. "These people seemed wary of me. I am a raccoon village citizen right?" When Wang Yu arrived at the front of the village altar''s entrance, he saw a woman dressed in long robes standing at the side. When the woman saw him, she was a bit startled and then looked down at her hands that was clasp together seemingly gathering all her courage. And when she looked up again, a beautiful smile has replaced that startled look on her face but Wang Yu can still see her nervousness because her body was shaking uncontrollably. "Hello my name is Reina, the village shaman''s assistant."The woman introduced herself to Wang Yu. Then she continued, "Are you here to leave your soul imprint at the altar? If so, I am sorry to tell you that the current village shaman is very ill and can''t perform his duties for sometime. You can come back some other time or you can visit the nearest village of our raccoon village to leave your soul imprint there." Reina hurriedly delivered her speech that she practiced for sometime now. She also handed Wang Yua scroll that happens to be a map of the Twilight region. However contrary to her expections or rather the situation she''d hope to happen, that Wang Yu would just go on his way. She saw Wang Yusmile maliciously while looking at her, taking the map from her shivering little hands. Now cold sweat formedall over on her, she was really afraid of the task the shaman has given her but she has no other choice because this matter is too important. They have to chase out this evil out of their village as soon as possible or their village would be in great danger. "Sir, please understand that this matter, we can''t help but to decline you." Reina politely added. "What would happen if I enter the altar?" Wang asked while taking a single step going to the altar halls and taking out in his inventory the raccoon village token that he also got from the box. With Wang Yu''s actions, Reina has almost jumped in fright and she abruptly said, "Please stop, my Lord I am willing to accompany you to the nearest village, there its more populated and bustling that ours." Reina held Wang Yu''s hand to prevent him from entering. This was the worse case senario that Reina hope not for but her task as the village''s sacrifice, she would not shrink on it. Although she said that she would just accompany him but she has already resigned her freedom the moment that they would leave the village. Wang Yu looked at her pleading look, he can''t help but feel pity for her and now that the hood she wore has fallen down, Wang Yu can see that Reina''s beauty is no ordinary. "They are this desperate to chase me out to the village and even offered me such a condition? What do they have me mistaken into?" Wang Yu thought to himself. He was about ready to clear up the misunderstanding but a sudden thought came to him. He remembered a thing that the doctor once said, "Immortal Heroes Online has just recently launch its Demons Rising expansion." He understood that there is a high possibility that these village people suspect him of being a demon in disguise as a player to infiltrate their village but their response is quite weird when they could stand up and fight him or if they are not confident in confronting him, they could have reported it to higher authorities and wait for backup. "I feel there''s something fishy about this, I need to learn more before I clear up everything." Wang Yu has decided to let go his first move and dig deeper into this which interested him greatly. "Ok let''s go." Wang Yu agreed to Reina''s proposal. "Now?" Reina was startled. "The shaman''s plan worked well. He really did agree of our last resort plan." She thought to herself. "Yes let''s get going immediatly." Wang Yu replied. Reina wanted to led Wang Yu away from the village altar going to the west gate of the village to exit there. She never felt this scared in her entire life before but she alse felt a great relief because she has done something good for the village she was born and most importantly her family will be saved. She haven''t taken more than ten steps away when suddenly Wang Yu''s arms hung by her shoulders, she shivered a little and stopped walking but she continued onwards when she heard Wang Yu whispered close to her, "Get going." Up on the highest floor of the building where the village altar is located, a man in red robes looked out one of its windows. "Hmmp.. those higher demons are all full of themselves, always thinking they can do anything they wanted and indeed this village is a bit lacking and remote. But what a pity, Reina, I raised her for myself to satisfy, regrettably I gifted her to chase that one out. I need to ensure my success." Chapter 6 Two people exited the raccoon village west gate intimately, they were like two lovebirds that can''t be separated no matter what. They walked too close to each other that not ever a hair separate them but if you look closely, you can see that, only the man seemed happy while the woman''s expression is someone who have been wronged. Yet as they walked their way to the village gates no one came to her rescue even though this woman is very popular in raccoon village, this woman is Reina, the number one beauty of raccoon village which many admired. Seeing this scene many heroic spirits have been aroused to attempt in rescuing the damsel in distress, specially from people unaware of the situation which consist of players and village outsiders but when are about to try and do something someone would stop them. "What are you doing? Why are you stopping me? Can''t you see that monkey is harrassing miss Reina?" "Mind your own business, they are a happy couple just taking a stroll." A guard said to a musculine lad. "But.. But.." Before he could talk back the nearby plump shopkeeper added, "Miss Reina is just shy because she had never gone out with his boyfriend before." "I never seen that guy before." A player voiced his piece, he has already played Immortal Heroes Online for about a month now and same as Wang Yu, he was assigned at raccoon village. "What do you know? You''re only here for a month, of course you would not know him, his name is Nomed, he''s Reina''s childhood sweetheart, he just came back today from moving to the city a long time ago." The plump shopkeeper was quite satisfied with his rebuttal,the plump shopkeeper is called fatty Chu, he is quite famous forexaggerating stories. Even the guard was shocked with what fatty Chu has made up and shoot a glare at fatty Chu, "I know you are good at making up stories but can''t you see that guy is wearing a newbie outfit, who would believe your words now?" The guard shouted inwardly. As if the guard has the powers of telepathy, fatty Chu immediatly backed his previous statement, "Today Nomed disguised himself as a newbie to surprise Reina." Fatty Chu was quite smug with his brilliance crossing his both arms. The guard can''t help but scratch the back of his head with this scene. "Even in this kind of situation, this fat guy still has time to exercise his hobby. The shaman said that there should never be a hindrance in their leave or the situation could become dire." With the wanna-be heroes being hindered by the village folks, Wang Yu and Reina peacefully reached the forest outside the village or rather only Wang Yu had it peacefully while Reina had it like a roller coaster ride and now the two of them were all alone together which made her even more scared. Wang Yu doesn''t have these intimidation skills, the kid Wang Yu has these memories on watching superhero cartoons where the villain intimidates his victims and honestly Wang Yu is interested in playing the villain, quite opposite to the kid Wang Yu who is very heroic at heart. After a few moments of walking in the forest safe path, Wang Yu halted his steps which also stopped Reina in place. Even with the inability of his soul to scour externally because of his injury, with their current location, Wang is now certain that there aren''t anymore prying eyes to watch on them through his intuition alone. Having a strong soul is equal to being a clairvoyant but instead of seeing, you will know by feeling. "Do you think I''m too stupid to not realize your little scheme? What do you think of me, Wang Yu the great demon lord, a baby that can be lured with a candy?" Reina lost all the feeling on her legs out of fear, she fell sitting at the paved ground head lowered when she heard Wang Yu''s sudden speech. She thought that she had succeeded in luring out this demon from her beloved village but she has mistaken. "He knew all along?" Reina thought to herself while her tears rolled contiously. Her mind is in a complete mess right now, she dreaded the fact that this demon had played her to see her suffer and have a look of her, despairing. But this is all just Reina jumping in conclusion of Wang Yu''s intentions. Wang Yu looked at her pitiful figure in shock, "Did I overdid things? This girl''s reaction is over the top." Wang Yu muttered to himself. But Wang Yu can''t back down now, he need to know everything and this is his best chance to get anything out of her. He now knew that she has firmly believed that he is a demon lord and most probably the villagers believe this as a fact as well. "Now tell me, how did you puny humans able to determine my real identity? If you tell me everything then I promise that I''ll spare your tiny village as thanks for your help in figuring outthemistakes I''ve made in my infiltration." Wang Yu need to get everything she know out of her, before she calms down and think straight. He needed to stimulate her concern for her home before she realize a bigger picture and give up everything for the sake of humanity. "How can I be certain that you will be true to your promise?" Reina was still sobbing but shewas now back to her senses when she heard his words. "Well, if I have a choice I would not do troublesome stuff like massacring a village which will lead to pursuit of human experts but If you anger me, I won''t have any second thoughts in doing so. Now, what do you have for me?" Wang Yu spoke with a insidious smile on his face.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Reina gritted her teeth when she heard his explanation and she already made her decision to take on that chance of survival. The reason for this, is that, she thought this situation is impossible to be salvaged or to explain it more correctly she believed the situation is hopeless for them because it was the shaman had told them that this demon is a higher one that even a city would struggle to fight it. "It all started at the day of the hero summoning array activated, usually it only take upto ten minutes for the summoning to be done but we villagers who have gathered at the array magic circle to welcome the new hero have already waited for an hour but no one came out yet. But when the ball of light descendedto the village, maste Shi, the shaman shouted that he had felt a demonic presence from the ball of light which issued panic to the village people, luckily themaster Shi was there and ordered everyone to gather at the altar for a meeting while the village chief would welcome thehero and buy some time for us to plan something. The other villagers were kept on look out. Knowing that you are possessed by a high level demon and fighting you would only lead to dissaster,master Shi chose a plan to lead you away from the village before reporting to the higher authorities which everyone agreed because if we hold you here and a fight would break out, our village would bear the aftermath." Reina narrated everything. "Everyone believed and agreed to him?" Wang Yu was suspicious to this village shaman but now he was sure this fella is hiding something. "Of course, we would not doubt master Shi''s judgement because he was able to prevent demonic possessions countless times already, he was the village''s saviour." Reina''s eyes was filled with admiration when answered but soon she realized that she had forsaken their saviour and added hurriedly, "Please don''t harm master Shi, our village needs him the most." "This village shaman has a high prestige amongst the villagers that it even exceeds their village chief huh and even the villagers would believe him immediatly." Wang Yu thought to himself. "What if I tell you that an immortal hero like myself are protected by Goddess Miracle and it''s impossible for us to be possessed, although we can be corrupted by our evil nature but in this world our free will is preserve no matter what." Wang Yu wasn''t really informed by this fact but based on the soul contract that states, "you will not be harmed" is a proof that being possessed is impossible because a possession affects the soul and in fact harms it in some ways depending on the severity, and in some cases the soul imprint of the owner will be completely wiped out. "What are you trying to say?" Reina is confused with this revelation. "Is this demon playing me again." Reina thought to herself. "Thats right, me being a demon is all an act or rather, what you thought of me being a demon is false. All of this is a huge misunderstanding. Your reaction is quite hilarious though hehehe. In fact your entire village are a bunch of fools led around by a demon." Wang Yu can no longer hold his laughter. "You guys even put on a good show to drive me out of the village and the look on your scared faces is priceless." Wang Yu continued to ridicule her. Listening to his hateful comments, Reina''s fear slowly turned to anger but she still hold herself from releasing her rage because she was still wary of him. "Don''t get too angry though, Its not that I purposely act as one to make fun of you people, its just that I wanted to uncover the hand behind everything and I''m 99% sure that he is the real demon." Wang Yu said solemnly. Seeing Wang Yu''s seriousness, Reina replied, "And why would I believe you now? You are even accusing master Shi of being a demon. He''s the village''s saviour, what you''re saying is impossible." Reina can''t accept Wang Yu''s allegation, in her eyes the village shaman is a saint that helped many in the village and even saved her from poverty. She never felt any ill intentions from her master. He was very warm and kind to everyone. "Well that makes him more suspicious, he pretends to be a holy man but he schemed for the demise of other villages." Wang Yu retorted. "If you want proof, I am the proof. I have something that can prove that I am not a demon which will make him wrong in labeling me as a demon." Wang Yu contiued. "What if he was wrong about you? That doesn''t make him a demon as well." Reina answered back. "If you think about it. Because your village has a reliable shaman the higher authorities never sent an envoy to overlook your village nor your village requested one right?" Reina was quite astounded by this question because when the topic of seeking aid is brought up, her master would oppose by saying, " let''s not give a bigger burden to the city officials when we fend for ourselves." Her master even personally trains the village guards on how to deal with demons when a demon invasion event is up. His anti demon skills, no one has doubted because he was one of the survivors in the demonland expedition years ago. Then Wang Yu took off his bracelet and pass it to Reina, "Here this will prove my identity." Wang Yu casually said those words. But when Reina recieved the item she felt a very familiar feeling, its like she wanted to kowtow to this item and when she read its description, she was very shocked that she immediatly passed back the bracelet to Wang Yu and lowered her head. "Who is this person? For him to recieve an item directly from Goddess Miracle? It can''t be a mistake, the feeling I got from the statue at the village altar and that bracelet is very identical." Reina was still sitting on the ground in deep thought. She knew the statue''s aura and majesty can''t be duplicated unless its Goddess Miracle herself that did it. Even in an invasion or any case where the village is completely wiped the only thing that will remain intact and unsullied will be the village altar. It serves as a sanctum for the villagers survival, though not all could be saved because the altar is not that huge. "Now you know that I''m quite special and the information about this bracelet must be kept secret or you''ll suffer heavens punishment." When Wang Yu said this, the dark clouds that formed above them for quite some time now has started crackling lighting arcs which gave Reina a huge fright but Wang Yu knew this warning was aimed at him. Reina watched in daze as Wang Yu''s smile grew wicked when he looked above them. "Let''s talk about the plan to expose him." Wang Yu''s next words woke Reina in her stupor. She then thought to herself, "Maybe this guy is the real demon." Chapter 7 A robed figure stealthily entered raccoon village that night and when the guards halted her, she said, "I need to report an urgent matter to the village shaman." Although the guard was quite puzzled, he still made way for her. Moments later the robed figure arrived at the village altar, she immediatly went to the upper floor of the building and stood infront of a simple wooden door. Before she could knock on the wooden door, the door suddenly opened and a man dressed in red came out. He''s not that old, only on his early 50''s but he looked wizened. At first glance, you can''t help yourself but judge this person as an evil person only by his appearance. Depite that this man has built his reputation in this village to its peak that all villagers look at him with reverence. Seeing that haggard face in front of him, "Reina, you have come. What happened? Where is he?" The red dressed figure asked. Although his questions were quite hurried but he still maintained his calm. At the moment Reina was so conflicted because she was about to betray her benefactor. The man before her not only treated her as a mere disciple but also treated her like his own daughter. She really looked up to this person but she has no choice, she needed to know the truth. She has already made up her mind that if this was a trap made by the demon Wang Yu to slay her master, she would use that skill to correct her mistakes no matter the cost. This day was very tough for her because of all the twist and turns. Wang Yu was lucky that the person he was with is Reina because others wouldn''t readily buy his evidence. Its not that the bracelet is not enough, all villagers would feel its majesty but they would still have doubts. However Reina recieved an enlightenment at the altar and at that time she knew that Goddess Miracle is not just their object of faith but she was actually real. So Reina trusted him this time, her faith made her believe on Wang Yu. "Master, I left him in the woods where we camped. He was just about to do something to me when he suddenly fell to his knees while clutching his head in pain, screaming. He was shouting to himself. I panicked and ran straight here." After saying everything in one go, Reina sobbed and hugged her master then continued saying, "Master, did I do wrong?" "No, you did not. Reporting immediatly to me was the best decision." The red dressed man replied. Reina couldn''t see because of their position that the tranquil expression of the red dressed man had a drastic change when their bodies collide. His suppressed desires were aroused like he was ready to devour her completely but he chose to calm himself down and push her off gently saying, "You''ve gone through a lot today but you must steel yourself for a bit longer. We mustn''t tarry any longer, we have to get to him before he recovers, Reina lead the way." Looking at Reina''s back the red dressed man grew excited, he thought to himself, "Damn woman I can''t hold myself any longer. After I devour that demon''s soul, I''ll feast on your body and make you my cultivation furnance. To try possessing an Immortal, there has to be some mishaps even if he is a demon god. This is a great chance for me, I can''t just let slide because of some risk." While they were on their way out of the building, the red dressed man asked more questions, "Did anyone knew of your return?" "Master, Only the guard on duty at the gates saw me." Reina replied. "Good, we can be at ease that the village can sleep peacefully tonight. The news of your return could cause an uproar and we would want that to happen." When they arrived at the west gate the red dressed man called up the guard. "Yes elder, how may I serve?" The guard said respectfully. "Why is that you''re the only one here? Aren''t you supposed to have a partner?" The re dressed man reprimanded. While scratching the back of his head the guard explained, "In the middle of our shift old Lu felt unwell so I let him go home to rest. Our shift should be over soon elder. Please forgive us for our negligence."The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. "It can be helped, this post will be vacated this time around, come with us, we need more hands in this task but we''re pressed with time so there''s no more room to call for reinforcements." The red dressed man urged. "Why don''t we light the beacon elder?" The guard suggested. "There''s no need to disturb the whole village, just leave a note for the next round of guys to know. Make it quick." The three person then head out to the woods. On the way Reina could feel her masters anxiousness grew, He even used hismobile magic treasure to travel faster. This magic treasure is a flying leaf, although lowest of its kind it is very uncommon tosee one in villages. Even the guard felt proud to have riden such thing. Unfortunately this mobile treasure can only fly 20 meters above the ground or it will be taxing to its controller to supply enoughtrue essence unless the one controlling has a very high cultivation base. "Over there master, we camped behind those rock formations." Reina pointed at the rock formations near the safe path. The three of them landed at safe path and proceeded to the back of those rock formations where they could see a person lying on the ground, his hands are crossed behind his head. With the moon being full tonight, the night cannot impair their visions. Before they could come any closer, the man stood up and faced them. "Well that was quick. Good job in bringing your master here, Reina, though I didn''t expect a third person coming along but oh well.. he could play the role of the second witness." Wang Yu showed a sinister smile after speaking. "Reina, what''s the meaning of this?" The red dressed man glimpse behind him while asking but to his surprise, due to focusing all his attention at the man lying on the ground awhile ago, he had not sense that Reina stopped walking with him long ago.Reina was now far back from him and even the guard too. The guard has noclue of the situation but because of his nervousness when Reina stopped in place, he too followed. Before anyone could continue speaking, Wang Yu said, "Enough with all the chit-chat, time to die!" Base on the happenings in the next moment could Wang Yu determine his next course of action. So he need to take the initiative and not allow the red dressed man have the time to think. True Miracle activated. Choose skill or item to empower: [Fire Ball] [Fire Ball] level:¡Þ Formed through gathering the fire essenses of the world into a single point. Dealing fire burst damage and fire burning damge over time for¡Þ seconds. Damage depends on skill level and fire mastery. Wang Yu''s smile grew more sinister. How could a skill made by an Elder God be mediocre? This washis first time displaying his prowess, how could he not be proud? Created skill won''t always start at level one and in Wang Yu''s case it will start at the limits. The bracelet in Wang Yu''s wrist shined brightly but not as bright as the great ball of fire abovehim that made the night''s darkness seemed noon. The great thing is thatfire ball''s skill channeling does not damage the environment or the creatures near it but the heat and presure is felt. When the red dressed man the felt the skill locked on to him, because of the immense danger he instinctively transformed into his original form, the twin horned red demon. Two large horns sprouted on his forehead that curved at the back of his head, he grew from 1.75 meters to 10 meters tall, his body bulge that resembled like a gorilla, then two bat-like wings protruded from his back. Reina who was standing at the far back, chanted her own spell when she saw Wang Yu''s actions, in her mind she would do everything to save his master but the situation in front of her revealed that they would all die from the great ball of fire which made her despair. Then her master transformed which made her feela little reliefbecause she had actually made the right choice but how will she survive the aftermath of that skill. "I am the second witness right? Aren''t witnesses supposed to survive to tell the tale right?" The guard''s voice sounded not too far from Reina, it woke Reina from her despair.To Reina the guard''s words made a lot of sense but.. how? That man may not be a demon but to her, he is the devil. Contrary to their expectations the great ball of fire grew smaller but still larger than the twin horned red demon. Wang Yu then shot the fire ball to the demon which had taken out a bone medalion that emitted a crimson light to cover his whole figure.Howeverwhen the fire ball collided with the crimson light, it shattered instantly. The demon has taken a direct hit from the fire ball but a sliver of heal remains of the demon. The demon bellowed his anger and pain, he couldn''t believe that all his plans would end off like this because he already knew that the burning effect would definitely kill him. But before the demon''s hp became zero, seven sword lights stabbed at the demon, finishing him off before the burning effect. Now its Wang Yu''s turn to be shocked, "Who was it?" Wang Yu surveyed the surroundings in anger.
