Chapter 104: Chapter 102: Desolate Mother

Damn, it’s already one in the morning?

Yang Qizhou had only glanced at the clock casually, and when he saw the hour hand pointing to ’1,’ he was startled. Normally, by this point, he’d have used up his three revives and five save-and-loads and been sound asleep in bed.

"The loot from the ’Wind Bell Town’ dungeon wasn’t bad: [Yellow Beast Blood], [Bone of the Sun], [Dirty Pearl], and 3900 Old Sacrifice..."

"But I wasted way too much time."

"Delaying lord me from sleeping."

Yang Qizhou muttered in annoyance.

If other players from the [Deceit World] heard this, they’d probably gang up and beat him to death... so many people pour their hearts and souls into grinding and don’t even get an ’Excellent’-tier item, yet here he was, complaining after snagging so many ’Epic-tier’ items.

"The ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ has already been used three times. Tomorrow, I have to meet with ’The Fox.’ Although dealing with him shouldn’t be too much trouble, it’s best to save one ’save-and-load’ opportunity just in case."

"After this sequence ends, I’ll get deeper intel about ’Asgard’ from the ’Six-faced Monster.’

"Then I’ll go straight to bed."

Thinking about tomorrow’s meeting with ’The Fox,’ the corners of Yang Qizhou’s mouth curled up in an almost sinister grin. He was already contemplating what kind of cruel measures to employ to teach this kid that ’lying’ was a bad habit.

As his finger tapped the screen, pale text once again refreshed.

...

...

"The six faces of the ’Six-faced Monster’ all displayed expressions of resistance, accusing you, the explorer, of being despicable, shameless, vulgar, and filthy, refusing to answer your questions."

"But under the effects of the [Stone of Truth], they were forced to respond..."

"Leading off was the [Frost Sect] Leader. According to her description, the Frost Ancient God does not dwell in ’Asgard’ but rather in another fortress known as ’Heimla.’ Therefore, she doesn’t know much about that place, only that it borders the ’North Realm Abyss,’ where rumors say ’Demons and Devils’ have appeared. The specifics remain unclear."

"’Demons and Devils?’"

"That mysterious old man once said there were issues at the bottom of the North Realm Abyss. Could it possibly be related to ’Demons’ and ’Devils’?"

"You couldn’t help but have thoughts racing."

"After all, only by resolving the problem at the bottom of the ’North Realm Abyss’ could you qualify as a priest of the ’Heroic Spirit Hall,’ granting you access to the ’Prayer Box’ to retrieve the ’Lucky Coins.’

"The second to speak was the [Imperial Destiny Sect] Leader. According to his description, the Imperial Command Ancient God also does not reside in ’Asgard’ and thus holds little knowledge of it, only knowing that ’Asgard’ is ruled by the ’King of Nature.’"

"This information wasn’t particularly useful because you’d already deduced it, so you dismissed it."

"The third to speak was the [Drue Sect] Leader..."

"The fourth to speak was the [Judgement Sect] Leader..."

"Their depictions of ’Asgard’ were similarly shallow, reflecting what you’d already guessed. You didn’t pay them much attention and instead focused on the [Fire Stealing Sect] and [Star Color Sect] Leaders."

"These two sects worship Ancient Gods who reside in ’Asgard,’ and as priests of the ’Fire Stealing Ancient God’ and ’Star Color Ancient God,’ they must hold more detailed insights about the divine fortress."

"The fifth to speak was the [Fire Stealing Sect] Leader, whose revelations completely stunned you."

"The current state of ’Asgard’ should be one of utter chaos. The holy emblems in the sky have fallen, the gods have gone mad, blessings have ceased, holy images have crumbled, the residents suffer, and the nine divine countries composing the ’God’s Fortress’ are collapsing under the influence of unknown and horrifying forces."

"After all, the ’Fire Stealing Ancient God’ is now asleep, polluted by nightmare ’calamities,’ leaving him in a terribly compromised state. Surely whatever happened in ’Asgard’... at least within the ’Fire Stealing Divine Country,’ must have gone horribly wrong."

"If the [Fire Stealing Sect] Leader’s description merely startled you, the [Star Color Sect] Leader’s account left you utterly horrified."

"The ’Star Color Ancient God’ has already fallen. His power, his blessings, his authority—all have vanished. Reciting the complete and sacred name of the ’Star Color Ancient God’ not only garners no divine response but even invites the gaze of ’Unknown Horrors.’

"You were in shock."

"You were even more shocked."

"If not for the protective law ’Fraud Forbidden Here’ still in effect, and the fact that the ’Fire Stealing’ and ’Star Color’ Sect Leaders hadn’t shown disorderly signs, coupled with the [Stone of Truth]’s influence, you might have suspected them of deceit."

"After all, you’re someone who’s been to ’Asgard’ before. While deeply penetrated by Evil Gods, like a sieve,"

"It had still looked grand and imposing. The nine great emblems swirled in the sky like constellations, stretching for thousands of meters. The fortress scenery was harmonious, like ’Heaven’ itself, inviolable and sacred."

"You recounted your personal experiences in ’Asgard.’"

"You emphasized that the holy lights representing the ’Star Color Ancient God’ and ’Fire Stealing Ancient God’ still shone brightly above the Sky Dome. They didn’t seem to be in crisis, much less fallen."

"The six faces of the ’Six-faced Monster’ displayed expressions of incredulity under the influence of the [Stone of Truth]. Among them, the [Star Color Sect] Leader unequivocally stated: ...The Star Color Ancient God is certainly dead because the star in the ’Star Realm’ that symbolizes his authority has dimmed, and the other Ancient Gods have suffered various issues, becoming unreliable. That is precisely why we turned to the Unknown Evil Gods for aid."

"If the ’Star Color Ancient God’ has indeed fallen,"

"Then who, now, is filling the role of the ’Star Color Ancient God’?"

"You pondered, realizing that you might have inadvertently stumbled upon a groundbreaking secret."

...

...

Wouldn’t it have been easier to confess earlier? Did you really need to force me to use the [Stone of Truth]? You’re just like an unruly sapling—crooked without guidance. Ugh, so annoying.

Yang Qizhou’s face was beaming, overall quite satisfied with his gains from this trip to ’Dark Mist Town.’

"Let’s summarize the current information."

"The problem at the bottom of the ’North Realm Abyss’ seems to involve the races of ’Demons’ and ’Devils.’ If my speculation is correct, the death of the previous ’Heroic Spirit Hall’ priest was also related to them."

"Next is the ’Fire Stealing Ancient God.’ This deity is asleep, tainted by the horrors of nightmare calamities. According to the sect leader’s account, the ’Fire Stealing Divine Country’ also seems to be experiencing major turmoil—something bad has already happened."

"Yet the Fire Stealing Divine Country still appears perfectly intact, with its holy emblem representing divine authority still shining high in the sky."

"There must be significant discrepancies here..."

"Finally, there’s the ’Star Color Ancient God.’

"According to descriptions in the ’Divinity Codex’ about Star Spirits, a god embracing their divinity will ignite the star corresponding to their authority. Conversely, when that star dims, the associated deity must have undoubtedly fallen."

"So based on the [Star Color Sect] Leader’s claims, the ’Star Color Ancient God’ has almost certainly perished."

"Then the existence now masquerading as the ’Star Color Ancient God,’"

"That’s something worth scrutinizing.’

At this stage, the ’Asgard’ storyline had entered its final sequence. But the effects of the [Stone of Truth] hadn’t expired yet. Fully aware of the behavior of game characters, Yang Qizhou wouldn’t waste the powerful ability that could only be used once a day; he’d surely dig out more benefits while he had the chance.

Onward with the game, onward with the game...

...

...

"Only three minutes had passed, leaving you with another two full minutes of [Stone of Truth]’s effective duration. You certainly weren’t going to waste such a rare opportunity."

"You set aside the issues of ’Asgard,’"

"And instead asked about something far more crucial to you... the whereabouts of the ’Black Abyss Flower.’

"This is the primary material for deactivating the ’Lucky Coin’ and an essential component for becoming a ’Wizard.’ You were desperate to find out where it could be obtained."

"But this time, you were left disappointed."

"The ’Six Sect Leaders’ replied in unison that they didn’t know. Clearly, they’d never even heard of the [Abyss Flower].’

"With another minute and a half left on the [Stone of Truth]’s effect, you were determined not to waste it. You casually asked, ’Which Evil God do you all worship?’

"This time, the response came from the ’Star Color Sect’ Leader, his gaze filled with a peculiar intensity."

"We worship the great ’Desolate Mother.’"’

"She is the origin of countless lives."

"She is the nest of nests,"

"She is the ruler of yin power."

...

...

For once, the ’Six Sect Leaders’ were cooperative, yielding to the [Stone of Truth] without resistance, demonstrating they knew how to adapt to circumstances. Hmm, wait a second, something suddenly felt off.

Yang Qizhou froze, his mind working quickly. As realization struck, his eyes widened entirely...

"They’re reciting the Unknown Evil God ’Desolate Mother’s’ full sacred name. Damn, these sneaky bastards are trying to use the [Stone of Truth] to trap the game character in ’Dark Mist Town’."

"Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,"

"Quick, take me back to the last decision point!"

Yang Qizhou was genuinely flustered now. Even in reality, reciting a deity’s full sacred name could draw their attention—let alone on the Old Land of the Gods, where they resided.

Pale text continued to refresh.

...

...

"Just as they finished reciting the full sacred name of ’Desolate Mother,’ you suddenly felt a faint but overwhelmingly vile, corrupt pulse ripple through the air."

"You instantly realized the implications, your face darkened, and you shot a hostile glare at the ’Six-faced Monster.’"

"You activated the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s ability."
