Chapter 111: Chapter 109: Dragon of Greed
These two guesses seem the most likely, but whether it’s due to the ’Ancient Roots’ or the ’Truth Hall,’ Yang Qizhou can’t yet be certain and has to set the question aside for now.
Meanwhile,
Yang Qizhou seemed to remember something, and his grin stretched all the way to the corners of his ears, the kind of smile that radiated pure delight.
"Fragment No. 1 of the Truth Hall—well, this is a nice surprise. I wonder what new feature will unlock if I use it to repair Hall No. 17 from the ’Truth Hall.’
"[Sequence], [Ancient Dominator], [Old Gods], [Outer Gods]—these ’mysticism Chapters’ haven’t even been unlocked yet."
"Should I teleport back now,
"And get ’Little Seventeen’ to patch things up?"
Yang Qizhou thought it through and decided there wasn’t any rush to repair the Truth Hall yet.
Currently, the game character was already en route to the ’North Realm Abyss,’ covering quite a significant stretch of distance. If he returned to the ’Truth Hall’ and then teleported to ’Asgard,’ wouldn’t it mean all that walking would’ve been for nothing?
Besides, the [Deceit World] game was text-based; no matter how long the journey, it all boiled down to a couple of lines in the narrative.
Might as well trigger the ’North Realm Abyss’ storyline first,
And then come back for the ’Truth Hall’ repair later.
With that thought in mind, Yang Qizhou turned off the ’Time-Space Gate’ feature, clicked the screen to continue the game, and watched as the text began updating again.
...
...
"It’s actually a fragment of the Truth Hall?"
"You’re ecstatic, unable to believe that eerie, frightening ’Traveling Poet’ turned out to be an Activated entity of Fragment No. 1 from the Truth Hall."
"You couldn’t help but look forward to what new features might emerge this time upon repairing Hall No. 17 in the Truth Hall."
"However, you weren’t in a rush to return just yet. After all, you’ve already made it halfway; it’s better to head to the ’North Realm Abyss’ first. While investigating the source of the problems at its base, you might even stumble upon the ’Circle of Friendliness’ along the way."
"You activated the effects of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes’ to enter a Hidden State."
"You continue heading toward the ’North Realm Abyss.’
"You press on."
"You encounter a terrifying monster, standing ten meters tall, oozing with pitch-black, malevolent energy, as if pieced together from corpses. Strangely, the creature appears panicked, as though it’s running from some catastrophe."
"While in the ’Hidden’ state, the terrifying monster doesn’t notice your presence."
"You keep moving."
"Still moving forward."
"Feeling a bit bored, you really want to break into song before continuing."
"It shouldn’t be much farther now to the ’North Realm Abyss,’ you think to yourself, pulling out the [Asgard Map] and carefully comparing your position. There’s roughly another twenty minutes of travel."
"You push yourself to march faster,"
"but soon, that ease is replaced by a sinking feeling. Your heart grows heavy as you notice many ’monsters’ fleeing along the way, their expressions filled with terror, as though some terrifying calamity is about to unfold."
"Could the ’North Realm Abyss’ have gone wrong?"
"You hesitated briefly but, trusting the Fire of Destiny’s Protection to rewrite the death ending, you decide to continue toward the direction of the ’North Realm Abyss.’"
"You’ve already made up your mind: if you encounter an unmanageable threat, you’ll immediately teleport back to the ’Truth Hall.’
"Time passes ambiguously,"
"and the faint outline of the North Realm Abyss comes into view."
"In the skies above, you see an ’Evil Dragon’ wreaking havoc, its entire body gleaming as if poured from molten ’Gold.’ Its unfurled wings span twenty meters, an oppressive dragon might overtaking the land. The searing Dragon Flame seems to set even the heavens ablaze."
"The ’Evil Dragon’s’ target is a sprawling, massive fortress wall."
"The reeling flight of those ’monsters’ you encountered earlier must be because of this ’Evil Dragon,’ you surmise."
"An odd sensation wells up within you—the urge for wealth, treasure, power, everything beautiful—you desire to possess them all, claiming them as your own."
"Quickly shifting your eyes away from the ’Evil Dragon,’ the feeling gradually dissipates."
"This ’Evil Dragon’ has the unsettling power to stir desire in all living beings."
"It’s definitely not to be trifled with,"
"You ponder for a moment, worrying that the ’Evil Dragon’ may be able to nullify the effects of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ so you decide to wait until the monstrous lizard leaves before venturing further into the ’North Realm Abyss.’
"You maintain the effects of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ keeping yourself in a Hidden State,"
"and you wait."
"Still waiting."
"You are bored out of your mind as you wait."
"Like a bully toying with its prey, the ’Evil Dragon’ shows no intent of completely destroying the massive fortress wall. After wreaking some havoc, it finally flies toward the depths of the ’North Realm Abyss,’ its enormous form gradually disappearing."
"The ’Evil Dragon,’ akin to an ’overlord,’ has finally departed. You compose yourself, dusting off your clothes, and continue heading toward the ’North Realm Abyss.’
"Soon after, you find yourself near the enormous fortress wall,"
"You gaze upon the magnificent structure before you, overwhelmed by awe. This wall, towering hundreds of meters high, appears seamless, stretching across the entirety of the North Realm Abyss, sealing off this ’Land of Horror.’
"What a pity..."
"You can’t help but sigh and shake your head. Due to the rampage of the ’Evil Dragon,’ many buildings have been reduced to rubble; the ground is scorched black. Within your sight lay at least a dozen corpses."
"You notice warriors, clad in silver armor, recovering the bodies of their comrades, their faces etched with sorrow, pain, and hatred."
"Their age... they’re way too young."
"Your brow furrows. These Silver Warriors look to be only twelve or thirteen years old. Boys and girls alike, their faces still tender, their arms thin—but their strength is astonishing: they effortlessly hoist the corpses of comrades weighing over a hundred pounds with a single hand."
"To think that such a vast outpost, surrounded by giant walls, exists near the North Realm Abyss."
"A thought forms—you should interact with these ’young warriors.’
"But an unease stirs within—you’re on Ancient Land, after all, where treachery and terror run rampant, where mystery and the unknown are intertwined. These children may appear feeble and innocent, but what if they’re horrifying monsters in disguise?"
"Seasoned from countless brushes with danger, the cautious explorer has once again arrived at a crossroads of fate."
"Will you choose to bypass this colossal city, relying on the effect of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes’ to sneak directly into the ’North Realm Abyss’?"
"Or will you decide to engage with these ’young warriors,’ seeking to uncover what exactly has transpired here?"
"Please make your choice."
...
...
Surprisingly, the journey toward the ’North Realm Abyss’ afterward went fairly smoothly. There were no further encounters with unknown horrors.
Yang Qizhou felt good, intending to take a hearty swig of his 1982 Coke, only to realize the bottle was empty. "Damn, have to stock up tomorrow."
As for the ’North Realm Abyss’ storyline, Yang Qizhou was definitely looking forward to it,
This place was not only key to becoming a ’Priest’ of the ’Heroic Spirit Hall’ and obtaining [lucky coins], but it also housed the ’Holy Sacrifice’ needed to summon ’King of Virtue,’ with the [Circle of Friendliness] being lost here as well.
It could be said,
though the game character had never been to the ’North Realm Abyss,’ his connection to this map ran deep.
As for the two options now before him...
"If there were no choices, I’d honestly just hope the game character wouldn’t overcomplicate things. Just break through this giant wall, sneak into the ’North Realm Abyss,’ and find where the ’Circle of Friendliness’ is."
"After all, this is Ancient Land—anything that looks normal might be horrifyingly dangerous beneath the surface."
"But now, everything’s different."
"As long as there’s a choice, I can use the official cheat."
"What’s there to be afraid of? Of course, I’ll interact. Worst case, I’ll just use the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ to reload my save."
"Sorry, but when you can manipulate the threads of fate at will, you’re basically unstoppable."
"Brother, charge."
Brimming with energy and a fighting spirit, Yang Qizhou promptly chose ’Option Two.’
The pale game text continued to update.
...
...
"When you have save points, whether it’s a grim fate or blood-soaked demise, you can face it fearlessly—you think to yourself. With the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ as your confidence, your hesitation greatly diminishes. Choosing to deactivate the ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ you step forward toward the group of ’child warriors.’"
"The young warriors, clad in silver armor, react to your arrival with utmost vigilance."
"One girl raises her ’bow,’ gathering life energy at the arrow’s tip. Though she hasn’t let it fly yet, you already feel your scalp tingling, as if you’re about to be pierced through."
"This really is Ancient Land,"
"Even the children are terrifying."
"Your scalp tingles, and you dare not delay. You immediately produce the [Golden Law Book] and proclaim its decrees on the spot..."
"All acts of harm are prohibited in this area."
"All acts of deceit are prohibited in this area."
"All hostile intentions are prohibited in this area."
"New order takes effect, and the ’disorder’ aura on your body makes the children hesitant. Finally, they refrain from attacking, though their wariness persists."
"At that moment,"
"A boy, seemingly the eldest among them, steps out. A gnarled scar cuts across his right eye, and his skin is etched with curse marks. The aura emanating from him is even more oppressive than that of ’Lena.’
"He asks... who are you, what relation do you have to the ’Dragon of Greed,’ and what is your purpose at the Bright Outpost?"
"Not bad, not bad—at least it’s possible to communicate."
"Feeling satisfied, you’re just about to express your friendly intentions to the boy, when suddenly a thought strikes you, rendering you momentarily frozen..."
"This is Bright Outpost,"
"And that dragon—it’s the ’Dragon of Greed’?"
"Isn’t this the exact epic recounted by the ’Traveling Poet,’ an Activated entity of Fragment No. 1 from the Truth Hall?"
