Chapter 229: Chapter 205: King and Heavenly Will

"So we’re just letting him go?"

The Black Dragon resentfully said.

"Based on my observation, the giant’s Name Skill has completely vanished, all the Laws were taken by him," the middle-aged man said.

"If that’s the case, it proves he possesses a higher-level Name Skill. His Name Skill has devoured the giant’s Name Skill," said the sweet young girl holding a whip, licking her lips.

"What did you do?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I’m so beautiful, if he wanted me, that would be normal, right?" the girl giggled.

Her expression suddenly froze.

"Is there a problem?" the middle-aged man asked concernedly.

"Damn, he dropped the idea," the girl said.

The middle-aged man silently nodded, turning to the Void beside him and asked, "Did you interfere?"

"No, he seems to be able to see me," someone in the Void replied.

The middle-aged man looked back.

All the Demon Gods remained silent.

"Did anyone else interfere?" the middle-aged man asked.

"That sword was still somewhat of a threat. What if the bone dragon came? Wouldn’t that be more troublesome?" said a yellow-shirted young man with a face covered in pockmarks, shrugging.

"Hmm... that’s also true," the middle-aged man appeared somewhat headache, "I recognize countless beings, but I can’t discern his origin—"

"Do we need continued observation, boss?" the yellow-shirted young man asked.

The middle-aged man glanced at the Black Dragon, pondered for a few moments, waving his hand said:

"Forget it, don’t go after him anymore, I have my own measures."

...

On the other side.

The Auffa Country.

A line of carriages formed a long queue, racing past on the forest path.

Wu Xiaode was alone in a carriage.

At a time of extreme weakness, he didn’t think of Xia Huilan or any familiar person—

Instead, he remembered that sweet young girl standing behind the middle-aged man.

Damn.

It was always these seductive thoughts, these Enchanting Demons are truly a bane.

However, Christina seemed to have stopped using the Charming Skill—

That indeed is a good Enchanting Demon.

Wu Xiaode let the thought lightly pass.

He moved his body around, sighed, and said, "I finally survived."

After eating the Frost Snow Fruit, he had recovered.

But to be honest, the taste of near-death was truly uncomfortable.

He never wanted to experience near-death again.

"Be careful," the Chi Xiao Divine Sword floating in front of him said, "In the same timeline, the one in Penal World 1666 parallel world had already started taking and issuing tasks, so you temporarily can’t do it anymore."

"What about the task between you and me?" Wu Xiaode asked.

He glanced at his Merit.

After killing the giant, he now had 10 points of Merit.

Of these, 5 points of Merit had long been agreed upon, to be paid to the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit.

As long as it completed its task—

Find a way to prevent the destruction of the 1666 parallel world, and implement it.

"We’ve already found a clue, on that old woman who owns a Name Skill," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said.

The old woman had regained her senses.

"Are you saying, I stay calm for a few days here, and then after returning three days later, I can find her in the Holy City?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I’ll just say it straight—"

The Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said, "To save your world, at least three special beings need to nod in agreement. That old woman is related to one of these special beings; and your accidental arrival in the Auffa Country actually holds a clue to the second special being."

"That can’t just be coincidence," Wu Xiaode said.

"Of course not, what is important is not the Auffa Country, but the guy who wants to kill Nina," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said.

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Because that guy can actually contact the Demon Gods of Penal World, allowing the Demon Gods to kill people outside of Penal World. Such an ability must have the approval of the second special being," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said.

"If I find these three special beings you mentioned, what would happen? Can my world be saved?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes, if all three beings agree, then you can rest assured; thereafter, no one would dare to bother your world," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said.

"All right... let’s find this culprit who wants to kill Nina," Wu Xiaode said.

"That’s right, you must get clues about that special being from that person," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said.

The carriage slowly came to a halt.

"What happened?" Wu Xiaode pushed open the carriage door.

He saw the convoy had already reached a sparkling Long Lake.

The coachmen were letting the horses rest and feed.

Many people got out of the carriage to move around.

—So it was time for a break.

Wu Xiaode sheathed his sword, gleefully jumped down from the carriage, stretching his arms and legs.

For himself—

Being unable to take tasks from the wish wall meant he couldn’t increase the limit of his Soul Power or enhance his own strength.

But it’s only three days.

He just had to endure it.

Wu Xiaode stretched lazily and looked towards the Book of the Dead.

He saw lines of ice crystal characters rapidly emerging on the book:

"The offerings from the Heroic Spirits and the ’Giant Slayer’ have completely integrated into your Name Skill."

"Heavenly Ghost entered the final stage of evolution."

"Notice:"

"Your ’Heavenly Ghost’ is currently sleeping."

"When you perform a set of specific Name Skill awakening motions, the all-new ’Heavenly Ghost’ will automatically activate in five minutes."

"—This is the power that the Heroic Spirits have fought hard to obtain for you."

"Special Reminder:"

"Elevating the ’Heavenly Ghost’ to another level is a very rare opportunity."

"The Laws only give you 3 seconds to create a set of sixteen specific Name Skill awakening motions."

"If you miss this awakening, your Name Skill will lose this opportunity to elevate and will regress to its original level."

"Countdown starts in three seconds:"

"3—"

You’ve got to be kidding!

Only three seconds!

There’s absolutely no time to think.

He was totally unprepared.

How could he create sixteen movements in merely three seconds?

Impossible!

"2—"

No other choice now.

The only thing that could save him now was that set of moves!

The only sequence he had learned, which had sixteen movements and could be executed without thought, flashed through Wu Xiaode’s mind.

Should he do it?

Do it!

—This is the only chance for the Heroic Spirits to fight for themselves!

Wu Xiaode’s mind was filled with the familiar voice and melody from his memories:

"Start now, the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics, go—"

These movements required no thought.

They were ready to use!

The last second.

In a flash, Wu Xiaode assumed the position and continuously performed sixteen complete broadcast gymnastic movements by the lake.

Ding!

Time’s up!

Lines of ice crystal small print emerged on the Book of the Dead:

"Congratulations."

"You have set a complete set of Name Skill awakening movements, totaling sixteen forms."

"The movements you set are elegant, beautiful, healthy, and generous, and have been unanimously recognized by the Laws."

"The brand-new ’Heavenly Ghost’ is about to awaken."

"Furthermore:"

"The exclusive BGM and sixteen forms of Name Skill awakening movements have been recorded, and each time your Name Skill is upgraded, you can use them!"

Wu Xiaode took a few breaths to collect himself.

Wait a minute.

Does that mean—

Every time I upgrade my Name Skill—

I have to complete a set of broadcast gymnastics first?

With a thought in his mind, he whispered softly, "Let me see the exclusive BGM."

Suddenly, a loud background music played around him.

A faintly discernible female voice hidden in the Void spoke with a solemn and majestic tone:

"The ninth set of broadcast gymnastics begins now!"

"March in place, go—"

Damn it!

I’d rather stay on the brink of death!

He couldn’t help but burst into curses, when suddenly he heard a whispering sound around him.

It turned out to be the royal guards and mages, along with some officials.

"What was that just now?"

"How magical."

"There are even voices in the Void."

"I felt the descent of the Law."

"It must be a knight’s training method, definitely!"

"Worthy of being the hero who rescued the princess."

"Right, right, right."

"..."

Wu Xiaode’s mouth twitched, and he silently lowered his head, feeling that he would never upgrade the ’Heavenly Ghost’ again.

At that moment, a royal attendant hurried over, bowing and saying:

"This hero, the King summons you."

"Ah, alright."

Wu Xiaode followed the royal attendant, leaving Long Lake behind and heading to the back of the hillside.

There, the King of Auffa stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountains.

Behind him stood a long line of warriors dressed in tight-fitting clothes.

"Your Majesty."

Wu Xiaode courteously bowed.

—The Emperor himself had already seen two.

One shameless.

One a reborn youth.

Wonder what this one’s going to be like.

"I heard you rescued Nina from many enemies," the King of Auffa spoke.

"Yes." Wu Xiaode said.

"Where are the bodies of the enemies?"

"There were many of them, experts in cleaning up the battlefield, they left no traces."

"Hmm, you have worked hard," the King remarked faintly.

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to reply, he suddenly paused.

The Book of the Dead in front of him flipped open, revealing lines of ice crystal small print again:

"Congratulations."

"The brand-new ’Heavenly Ghost’ has awakened."

"The ’Bright Ghost’ retains its usual function."

"’Heavenly’ has undergone a brand-new evolution, described as follows:"

"1. During combat, the skills and abilities of your opponent, as well as the moments they are deployed, will all be apparent in your mind."

"2. The emotional changes of all sentient beings and spirits and ghosts can be visualized in the Void, allowing you to perceive their inner motives."

"—When people say ’Heaven knows,’ heaven really does know."

The Bright Ghost hasn’t changed.

Heavenly really did evolve.

Firstly, the opponent doesn’t need to be ’hostile’; any combatant will reveal their corresponding skills and powers.

Secondly...

What’s the use of seeing other people’s emotions?

Besides, how are emotions supposed to manifest in the Void?

As Wu Xiaode was pondering, he suddenly heard the King saying:

"Did you say your name is Wu Xiaode?"

"Ah, yes, Your Majesty, you can also call me Little Wu," Wu Xiaode hastily said.

The King stood facing the green mountains in the distance with his back to him.

Suddenly—

Next to the King, a small light symbol appeared:

"Convex"

Convex?

Does this mean I stand out?

Wu Xiaode thought to himself.

Only to hear the King ask again, "You’re wearing Nina’s Battle Armor... did you ask her for it?"

"Of course not, she gave it to me to protect me," Wu Xiaode gratefully said.

Indeed, it was thanks to the Battle Armor that he could do all this.

Yet he saw the "Convex" next to the King disappear.

A new light pattern popped up.

It was a heart.

With an arrow piercing through it.

—So this is the King’s current mood?

An arrow through the heart, it seems very sad.
