Chapter 638: Chapter 510: It’s her!

A bridge spanned across the great river.

On both sides of the bridge were signs that read, "Under Construction, No Entry Allowed."

Rows of men in black guarded the pathway of the bridge, not allowing any vehicles to pass.

However, at the center of the bridge—

an extended luxury car had just parked steadily.

The car door opened.

Wu Xiaode got out of the car, looking at the old man sitting on the railing.

The old man, with a fishing rod on his shoulder, was bent over and squinting at the river view, softly saying,

"The sunrise is coming soon..."

Teddy suddenly transmitted a message to Wu Xiaode,

"He’s very strong! This old man is extremely powerful, having developed a highly advanced civilization. Do not provoke him easily."

"I always abide by the law," Wu Xiaode responded.

"...If you must fight, please find a way to escape in advance," Teddy said reluctantly.

Wu Xiaode was even more helpless.

He was telling the truth, so why didn’t it believe him?

Was fighting really something good?

He looked at the old man’s fishing rod.

The rod subtly undulated as if it were alive, and the fishing hook emitted a faint golden light—it was obviously not ordinary.

At that moment, the young man who was driving stepped forward and said,

"Master, the Lord of All Worlds has arrived."

"Welcome."

The old man turned around, smiling and nodding at Wu Xiaode.

However, a trace of doubt appeared in the old man’s eyes—

Was this the sixth Venerable of the Virtual World, the Lord of All Worlds?

Too young.

Although his strength was elusive, he seemed not very strong...

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared behind Wu Xiaode.

Extremely Good and Judgement, the two female angels, had returned.

They each held a booklet, floating in the Void, quietly observing everything happening.

Indeed, ordinary mortals could not see them at all.

But how could this old man be ordinary?

He spotted the two angels at a glance, his expression subtly changing.

Almost deceived by appearances...

Maintaining such power akin to the Awakening in the Virtual World continuously, without being repelled by the world,

was something only beings of Venerable level could achieve.

Just like his fishing rod.

And like the two angels behind this young man.

—This youth was a strong being on the same level as himself!

"I am known as the Order Venerable, named simply Elder Wu, responsible for maintaining the order of the entire world, ensuring that all beings find their place and live peacefully," the old man introduced himself with a smile.

"Nice to meet you Elder Wu, I am Wu Xiaode, but you can call me Little Wu," Wu Xiaode greeted with a bow.

"When you transcended spirits yesterday, there was a significant disturbance in the world, and I sensed it—did you get into a fight?" Elder Wu asked with a smile.

Wu Xiaode raised his eyebrows.

Wait a minute.

Did the Order Venerable attribute the fluctuation from yesterday’s battle to him?

—Was that the real reason he came to see him in person?

During yesterday’s transcendence, not only had he used the power "Class of Sins," but he also caused the arrival of two extremely powerful beings.

Their battle was earth-shattering, far beyond what Wu Xiaode had anticipated.

—Still, those battles were technically part of his transcendence task.

The Order Venerable assuming it was his doing was somewhat expected.

His aura had been concealed by Jiang Shanglan, and behind him now was the newly evolved World Skill: Heavenly Punishment.

The two angels floated in mid-air.

The fluctuations of such Causality Law Skill probably made the other party think his power was formidable.

—So that’s why his attitude was so cordial.

It must be so.

It definitely was.

Wu Xiaode quickly figured out the whole situation and calmly said,

"Transcending spirits can easily cause conflicts, plus those fellows aren’t easy to deal with, so a bit of disagreement is normal."

Elder Wu silently nodded.

—This young man indeed was formidable, actually completing the transcendence and surviving.

Looking again at the two angels behind him, it was clear they governed some sort of Causality Law.

Mysterious and powerful.

Having witnessed them, his own judgment was confirmed.

"Brother Wu, I have arranged the identity of the son of the world’s wealthiest man for you, to facilitate your life and activities in this world. What do you think?" Elder Wu asked gently.

"Wealthy man? Can I manage gold?" Wu Xiaode asked interestedly.

"You can only manage currency, there’s no gold available, and that’s what I need to discuss with you next."

Elder Wu sighed and shook his head:

"Once you enter the ’Virtual World’, you must serve here for a thousand years before you can leave, as you must have felt."

"Yes," Wu Xiaode nodded.

"In these thousand years, we, the World Masters, have no income and can only suffer through it," Elder Wu said.

"Why not leave?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"We can’t leave—" Elder Wu spread his hands, smiling bitterly, "The six of us, the Honorable Ones, need to help manage this world. At least in the ’Virtual World’ we are free, while those World Masters without any official positions are sealed away, continuously drained of their source power to provide power for the ’Virtual World’."

Wu Xiaode silently nodded, whispering, "So that’s how it is."

Nonsense.

My mission rewards allow me to leave.

Though only for a few minutes each time.

Wait a minute.

—Don’t you all have this?

A young man standing nearby handed over an envelope.

Wu Xiaode opened it and saw an ID card, a bank card, and car keys inside.

"We can’t do whatever we want in this world, so we’ve prepared these for you, not for anything else, but at least to ensure your livelihood," Elder Wu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Elder Wu, I’d be ungracious to decline... but aside from you, who else could handle something like getting an ID?" Wu Xiaode asked, his expression unchanged.

The previous ID card belonged to a fugitive.

All thanks to a certain individual near Jiang Shanglan who cast a magic spell, making the entire world forget about me.

Now is a good time to inquire about this matter.

Elder Wu laughed:

"The other four Venerables have also been here for many years, each with their own businesses; they can easily obtain an ID for you. I just acted faster and was the first to visit you."

Wu Xiaode nodded slightly.

—Still, I don’t know who procured that fugitive identity.

But at that time, it seemed a magpie was involved.

So, keep an eye out to see which Venerable has a pet magpie.

"Elder Wu, you must have something else to discuss," Wu Xiaode said.

"Of course, I’ve arranged to meet with the Lion King and Granny Yin, and they should be arriving soon," Elder Wu replied.

"The other two Honorable Ones?"

"Yes, with the combined power of the four of us, we can surely break through that barrier," Elder Wu said.

"Barrier? What barrier?" Wu Xiaode curiously asked.

"There’s a creature sealed here; it has entered a weakened state and has completely lost consciousness—once we kill it, everything it has is ours!" Elder Wu declared.

"Haven’t you succeeded before?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Unfortunately, we were just a bit short, but with you joining us this time, it’s definitely doable," Elder Wu replied.

"—Wait a minute, I haven’t agreed yet," Wu Xiaode said.

The Extreme Good Angel suddenly spoke from behind him:

"Agree, Brother Wu, there’s plenty of merit to gain!"

Wu Xiaode hesitantly turned to look at her.

The Extreme Good Angel whispered, "This Honorable One is mighty, but his world has fallen into resource exhaustion; if it doesn’t get replenished, his entire world will be destroyed."

"You mean if I agree, it’s as if I’m helping to save all the beings in his world?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Exactly, once you agree, I can use plenty of merit to add blessings for you!" the Extreme Good Angel replied.

"What can blessings do?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Just a bit of merit can accelerate the healing of your injuries, and with lots of merit, increasing your strength is effortless, Brother Wu," the Extreme Good Angel replied.

"After the success, if they repay kindness with malice—" the Judgement Angel also whispered, "I will severely punish them with the power of Causality Law, which they cannot resist."

"This is really a great opportunity, Brother Wu!" both angels said together.

Wu Xiaode paused for a moment.

Is it really so?

...Then there’s no reason to hesitate.

For the sake of getting stronger—

"Alright, I agree," Wu Xiaode said.

No sooner had he spoken.

A huge wave suddenly burst forth in the middle of the river.

"Hahaha, welcome the new Honorable One to join us; our power has now become even stronger!"

A man laughed boisterously as he leaped onto the bridge.

—It was a burly man with a full beard.

"This is the Lion King."

Elder Wu introduced.

Wu Xiaode nodded to him.

The Lion King, clearly not recognizing him, quickly flashed a friendly smile.

As the two were about to exchange greetings, the sound of wings flapping came from the sky.

A magpie descended from the heavens.

It transformed into an old woman with silver hair, leaning on a walking stick, smiling at Wu Xiaode:

"Welcome, young man."

Wu Xiaode’s heart skipped a beat.

It was her!

The one who had schemed against him using a fugitive’s ID card—it was her!
