Chapter 610: Chapter 486 The 2nd!

Drip!

Drip, drip!

Drip, drip, drip!

After three warning tones, a beautiful and gentle female voice spoke:

"Announcing to all now."

"After 83,514,721 years, Naihe Bridge has begun to operate once again."

"The new Honorable of All Worlds has started to transcend special class spirits."

"Current number transcended: 1."

This voice echoed throughout the Virtual World.

However, in the mundane world, amidst the steel forests of towering buildings, the ceaseless flow of traffic, and the bustling crowds, it caused no sensational impact.

All beings were content with their own fates and affairs, oblivious to this announcement.

Only a few incarnated world-class life forms heard it.

Mountains.

Streams.

An old man holding a fishing rod slightly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of sorrow.

The young man beside him asked,

"Master, this ought to be a good thing, why do you seem so sorrowful?"

"Why should it be a good thing?" the old monk countered.

"Every year, some worlds are forcibly sealed to provide energy, all to maintain the operation of Naihe Bridge and prevent those dreadful beings from breaking free—"

The young man excitedly said, "An Honorable transcending those beings is like reducing the pressure on Naihe Bridge, ushering the whole Virtual World into a beneficial cycle."

"Isn’t that a good thing?"

The old man sighed softly and said, "Do you know how many special beings the last Honorable of All Worlds transcended?"

"This disciple does not know."

"Not a single one."

The young man was stunned.

The old man continued, "The last Honorable was thus, while the one before him did manage to transcend a truly terrifying being, but then succumbed to self-distortion and destruction before the second one—"

"Those beings being sealed for one lifetime is already very fortunate; no one dares to speak of transcending them."

"It’s an impossible task."

"Then," the young man’s expression darkened slightly, "this time—"

The old man shook his head and said, "I hope this time the Honorable indeed possesses boundless Mana and manages to transcend a couple more—it’s actually my hope that he finds a way to escape, so at least he might save himself."

The two fell into silence.

In the woods around them, only the murmuring sound of the stream could be heard.

Elsewhere.

High in the sky.

Inside an airplane shuttling through the clouds.

"Miss, here is the lunch prepared strictly in accordance with your instructions."

"Dismissed, I’m not hungry right now."

"... Yes."

The food cart was pushed away.

A woman in a lavish long dress crossed her legs and gently swayed the wine glass in her hand.

All the surrounding attendants bowed their heads, daring not to speak a word.

It was evident to anyone that the Miss was in a bad mood.

Rustle... rustle...

A set of footsteps approached.

A maid with a serene smile came over and smiled,

"Reporting to the Miss, an Honorable has arrived today..."

"Yet, this Honorable rashly took up his post at Naihe Bridge without discerning the situation first."

"Quite regrettable indeed."

The Miss picked up her wine glass and took a sip, slightly annoyed as she replied,

"We’re understaffed everywhere, finally an Honorable comes along, and he goes off to face death."

The maid ventured, "Is he sure to die?"

"With the terrifying power of those beings, only under the full operation of Naihe Bridge can they barely be contained. Once they awaken all memories and break free from the ’Virtual World’s seal, we are all doomed!"

The Miss set down her wine glass and sighed deeply with immense regret,

"That Honorable is as good as dead."

She paused, then added,

"How foolish!"

...

"Congratulations."

"The first soul has successfully reincarnated!"

"Next."

Wu Xiaode stood on the bridge, closely observing a spirit walking up to him.

It was a gaunt man with a pallid complexion.

He stood opposite Wu Xiaode, his lips splitting into a seemingly smiling face showing bright white teeth, yet his eyes conveyed no mirth, rather filled with indifference and scrutiny.

"You must be the Soul Hooker," he said.

"Please tell me about my reincarnation."

Wu Xiaode looked at him, and thoughts of the man’s life surfaced in his mind.

This man was truly an enigma—

His power was immensely great, reaching the pinnacle, even breaking the restrictions of the Virtual World.

It goes without saying that countless worlds’ powers had sealed this world, where no one could use Soul Power or Awakening Skills.

Yet he could.

Unable to contain him, the Virtual World assigned him the identity of a Cultivator.

Thus, it was reasonable for him to be stronger than a normal person.

He even immersed himself in this identity, devoutly cultivating, continually gaining formidable power.

—Except he had not truly gained anything.

It was all his inherent power.

The world could not suppress him anymore, so it burst forth.

The only thing the world could use to confine him was one thing—

Lifespan.

When it came time to die, they presented him with the illusion of a failed breakthrough.

So he came to Naihe Bridge.

Wu Xiaode gazed at the man.

—Although this creature was polite and spoke normally, Wu Xiaode sensed his rage.

Why did the breakthrough fail?

How could he have made such a low-level mistake?

To hell with this, now to reincarnate.

Wu Xiaode’s heart chilled.

Though he was only guessing the other’s thoughts, the power radiating from the man told him that the situation was far from hopeful.
