Chapter 1637: Indifference

As they approached the town’s central square, even without his powers, Mai Rada could still sense the almost tangible aura of death in the air, confirming that he was about to encounter the Nether King who could rescue the Dark Lord imprisoned in the Unhuman Domain.

Mai Rada did not know why the Nether King had fallen into the present world; such matters were far beyond his reach—he was born long after the Divine Nation’s destruction.

Those fragmented spaces that had not yet been discovered by Dazzle were merely wandering through the Time River, with only a few descendants bearing a thin Divine Blood struggling to survive.

No matter!

As long as the Nether King can be found, and the imprisoned Dark Lord is rescued, the Soth Divine Tribe will inevitably restore the glory of the gods, ruling over the Unhuman Domain!

Teacher Prin finally stopped.

From the massive pillar of light, two figures, one man and one cat, walked out slowly. With the brim of his tall hat pressed down, Teacher Prin could only see the face below the man’s nose… but the black cat seemed somewhat familiar to him.

Mai Rada at this moment widened his eyes—he recognized the man in the formal suit before him was the one who had killed several of his companions at sea.

“Nether King…” Mai Rada murmured at this moment, walking slowly past Teacher Prin, but suddenly came back to his senses at the fifth step and stopped, his expression still excited. “I knew it, the Nether King is you!”

The man in the formal suit was unresponsive, his face still lowered… but the black cat beside him blinked, looked Mai Rada up and down, and said somewhat surprised, “You are somewhat different from before, how did you lose your power?”

——I also want to know!

That was the most painful spot in Mai Rada’s heart, and being directly pointed out by a black cat made him feel even more unbearable—though a talking black cat felt somewhat peculiar.

Is a talking cat really special?

In the Unhuman Domain, even talking grass exists, and even more bizarrely, some eccentric Wizards would cut off their private parts and then use special sorcery to imbue them with new life, turning them into walking cannons while watching from the side!

But the black cat quickly shook its head, seemingly indifferent, “Never mind, as long as you have brought him here, whether or not you have power does not matter… Your task is complete, you may die.”

Mai Rada suddenly felt as if his heart was gripped tightly by something, a feeling of fear and suffocation that contorted his expression painfully, causing him to collapse onto the ground, clutching his chest tightly.

His face twisted, his jaws parted, but he could not let out a scream, his eyes filled with despair.

But Teacher Prin walked over slowly, reached out to help lift Mai Rada up, and it was only then that the feeling of death gradually faded from his body.

“He still has a lot of time.” Teacher Prin said, looking at the black cat, then turning to the man in the suit. The feeling of strangeness in his heart grew stronger, “Including everyone in this town… Their time has not come yet.”

“Small changes, it won’t pay attention.” The man in the suit finally spoke, his voice almost identical to Teacher Prin’s, only deeper, “Certain levels of existence have some privileges, as long as they do not seek to defy it, are not attempting to alter it.”

“Who is it?” Teacher Prin asked curiously.

“There are many names.” The man in the suit lowered his face and smiled slightly, “The Heavenly Dao, destiny, Gaia’s consciousness? Essentially all can apply… but more accurately, it is the Will.”

“The Will of the world…” Teacher Prin pondered, then shook his head, following the feeling in his heart and asked, “Were you luring me here?”

“No, I was not luring you.” The man in the formal suit slowly raised his head, and then removed his hat, “I was just ensuring you arrived here.”

“Two Nether Kings!! How could it be?!”

As the man in the suit took off his hat, the breathless Mai Rada immediately screamed in terror!

Even someone as calm and occasionally playful as Teacher Prin was shocked, his mouth agape before furrowing his brows and falling into deep thought.

…

“Two Teacher Prins?”

The maid murmured softly, as if in thought… She leaned quietly against Luo Qiu on the high tower of the town’s only clock tower, reflecting in the night breeze.

“Things are starting to become unstable.” Boss Luo suddenly said softly.

A seemingly meaningless remark… Even the knowledgeable maid couldn’t decipher her master’s intent at the moment.

Seeing the maid’s rare expression of confusion, which only enhanced her charming appearance, Boss Luo laughed softly, saying nothing more but directly held her hand, then spoke gently, “Now, look again.”

The maid paused, refocusing, astonishment gradually overtaking her features, “This is…”

Have you ever used a satellite TV with poor signal?

This scene is just like that… The entire town, as if disrupted by some interference, constantly shifts, twists, errors, yet strives to maintain the current scene…

This matter seems directly related to Lamias… The maid took a deep breath—she did not need to do such an action, it was more like an instinctual tic.

She subconsciously looked at the master’s hand holding hers—this was the ability granted by the master, the perspective shared by Luo Qiu.

Even as the maid of the store, possessing an extraordinary background, she was ultimately not in the same position as the Club Owner. She knew countless secrets, but only because of the accumulation over once endless time.

“This is the change of the Time River.” Luo Qiu said softly, “You have said you’d accompany me to see the end of the river.”

“Master, have you… seen the future?”

The future is a rather taboo inquiry, the maid knew the previous owner had ventured into the domain of the future but suffered greatly from it… But how much the former endured, she as a maid did not know.

But evidently, the future is something even the Club Owner must deliberate over cautiously.

“No.” Boss Luo shook his head, “I am only observing the current variables, you are seeing the same… But perhaps the future me is watching the present me. And I, am watching the past.”

The maid was shocked once more, managing all of Boss Luo’s external affairs, even his Life Points, she distinctly sensed that the master’s life was evaporating wildly.

In just a brief moment, three to four tenths had already evaporated!

“Master! Stop!” She voiced her fear, even overstepping her role as a maid.

“Don’t worry.” Luo Qiu said calmly, “I will leave a day’s worth of time… Is there not still income from the Main God Project? I won’t die. You said you would accompany me to see the end of the Time River, I haven’t seen the end yet.”

The maid remained silent, but watching Boss Luo’s Life Points dissipating rapidly, her blue eyes showed pain and fear… She quickly slid her fingers, a burst of black flame instantly breaking through the space, entering the dimensional rift.

In the next moment, the entrance to the second world of the Main God Project appears.

Zhao Le and Chen Mingming, engaged in their daily tasks, received a prompt simultaneously.

——Ignore the impact on the local region’s present world, and ignore the server load issues, open all entrances to the maximum extent… even lower the entry threshold.

At the same time, another directive was delivered to Eve in the mansion through Will.

——Increase difficulty to… nightmare level.

In an instant, in the world where the Main God Project resides, almost all of The Chosen Ones who are working through dungeons and exploring new areas felt the world undergo a sudden change… the difficulty level jumped several levels in an instant.

Correspondingly, the rewards also increased several levels.

Opportunities accompany risks… risks naturally accompany opportunities, the unyielding and strong will not fear any challenge, breaking through layers of difficulties, and finally rising against the current.

Reach the pinnacle.

Originally, this Another World is where souls willing to enter start their dreams.

…

With two commands from the Maid, Boss Luo instantly felt a growth in life force… but for the life he is currently evaporating, it is undoubtedly insignificant, at most only slightly slowing down the rate of evaporation.

Does harvesting souls like this seem overly aggressive?

Luo Qiu does not know whether this aggression is good or bad, he has never been fully rationalized by the Altar and has always kept a bit of human nature.

As long as one is human, no one knows if what they are doing is right or wrong.

“But outside of reaching this level, I don’t even feel a bit of guilt…” Boss Luo was silent, because of his decision, excellent souls are currently experiencing unprecedented trials, facing death.

But he really feels no discomfort.

Perhaps this is the real reason the Altar stripped the Club Owner of emotions—only by never sympathizing with living beings can one understand the true nature of things…

Boss Luo even closed his eyes at this moment.

The future cannot be seen, even if it could be seen, it would be an endless array of variables, countless possible futures, the cost to see clearly three thousand kinds of futures is too great, as there would still be three thousand kinds of already seen futures, or even more.

But the past, there is only one.

Because it has already happened… even if it is changing, it has already happened.

…

…

Two golden lights arrived first, they respectively represent the Gold of Taurus Palace and Leo Palace among the Twelve Temples.

“What happened?” The Gold of Taurus Palace has a rugged figure, and his voice matches, asking as soon as he appeared.

The two Golds apparently did not notice that at present, the Gold of Scorpio Palace has already been taken over… whether in appearance, aura, or the Scorpio Cloak of Sanctity on his body—how could it be fake?

This is Sanctuary!

Moreover, the goddess has even descended upon Sanctuary.

Prince Prin of the Underworld is really doing something crazy… he looked at the Gold of Taurus Palace and Leo Palace, then lowered his head, pointing to a figure lying unconscious on the ground.

“Underworld Fighter?” The Gold of Leo Palace’s face changed slightly.

“This is the warrior of Tianxiong Star, currently one of the giants of the Underworld Fighter camp.” Prince Prin said in a heavy voice: “Judging by the situation, he wanted to sneak into the Trial Maze to sabotage this time’s inheritance of the Swan Constellation’s Cloth.”

The downed Tianxiong Star on the ground was only unconscious and not dead, a lot of information could still be extracted from him… the Golds of Taurus Palace and Leo Palace already realized the seriousness of the situation.

“How does an Underworld Fighter cross Sanctuary?”

“Sanctuary may have a traitor!”

At this time, another figure arrived, dressed in white… naturally possessing a special calming aura—the Chief of the Twelve Temples, Virgo Temple’s Gold: Musa!

“Musa, you’re here!” The Gold of Leo Palace first greeted and explained the situation.

Musa glanced at the Gold of Scorpio Palace, suddenly said: “Earlier, I vaguely felt an obscure death force, it seems even more pure than the Underworld Fighter’s Underworld Fighting Spirit?”

Prince Prin was slightly shocked in his heart but unchanged in expression, nodded and said: “He has Hades’s Protection on him, and it took me a lot of effort to break the Protection.”

Musa looked around… indeed the surroundings were quite destroyed, the power of the Gold Saint Fighters is tremendous; they could easily destroy a city.

“I’ll take this Underworld Fighter for questioning, I will also go to see the goddess to explain this matter.” Musa thought for a moment and said: “You two stay here, perhaps other Underworld Fighters have infiltrated… Be sure to take good care of the Swan Constellation’s Cloth, I don’t want more accidents to happen during the inheritance.”

Speaking, without waiting for the response of the three Golds, Musa then directly picked up the already unconscious Underworld Fighter, leaving the Trial Maze.

“Musa seems to still can’t let go of Maya’s situation…” The Gold of Leo Palace sighed at this moment.

The Gold of Taurus Palace’s eyes instantly glared, speaking irritably: “If it were your biological sister who died, and her Cloak of Sanctity is being fought over, would you feel okay?”

“I’m just saying…” The Gold of Leo Palace did not want to talk more, “I’m leaving, I’m leaving.”

“Then, I’ll check around, and by the way notify the others.” Prince Prin looked at the Gold of Taurus Palace and said casually.

“Anyway, I have nothing to do, I’ll accompany you.” The Gold of Taurus Palace immediately stepped forward, casually putting an arm around his shoulder, “This real battle for the Cloak isn’t much to see, maybe it’ll be a bit interesting at the end.”

“Alright.” Prince Prin did not refuse, just watching the direction where Musa disappeared.

Originally, he thought… it should be him taking the Underworld Fighter to the Temple, at worst—the person involved, Musa, has already taken him along as well.

…

“Just knock them out.” Sister Suya released her grip, and a female warrior who had been strangled unconscious immediately fell powerlessly to the ground… Sister Suya wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked around: “Very good, eight people, none have fallen. Then… let’s start entering the next area!”

The next area… Lamias felt her physical exhaustion at this moment.

After passing through one more area, they would enter the deep of the maze where the final battle is… the Icefield.
