Chapter 114: Chapter 112: Ravings in the Gray-White Fog

Faced with these three choices, Yang Qizhou didn’t need to think twice.

Based on the analysis of the information obtained from Harriet, the Sky Blue Spear has the ability to reseal the passage connecting to the Endless Abyss—key to resolving the problem at the bottom of the North Realm Abyss.

As long as this task is completed,

the game character can assume the role of Priest of the Heroic Spirit Hall, successfully extract the lucky coin, and later gather the deactivation materials to transition into a Wizard.

As for the other two choices...

The game character has no idea where the Extreme Cold Lake is located. Even by leveraging the effects of the Hidden God’s Clothes to bypass the Bright Outpost, the Sky Blue Spear remains elusive. Furthermore, doing so would decrease favorability among the Northern Realm Clan at the Bright Outpost, offering no apparent benefit.

Lastly, the third option to "repair the Truth Hall"... Yang Qizhou found it strange that such an incongruent choice even appeared.

"The Sky Blue Spear, used by the King of Nature to seal the passage to the Endless Abyss, must be something extraordinary."

"Epic? Legendary? Could it be a myth—or even better!"

"Hahaha, a divine artifact. I’m coming for you!"

The text continues to refresh.

...

...

"As something belonging to the King of Nature, the Sky Blue Spear must be a priceless treasure."

"The thought arises in your mind: as an explorer, the greed within you begins to stir again, though your outward composure hides it well."

"You declare with righteous conviction to Harriet... As a believer of the Ancient Gods, kindness, gentleness, courage, determination, and fearlessness are my guiding principles. Though I am not a powerful deity myself, seeing the Bright Outpost—which has safeguarded the North Realm Abyss for countless ages, blocking all evil and horror to protect the land’s peace—fall to such a state, how can I stand idly by?"

"Harriet, brave child of the Northern Realm Clan, I am willing to accompany you to the Extreme Cold Lake, attempt to wield the Sky Blue Spear, and contribute a significant effort toward vanquishing evil."

"Your impassioned speech moved Harriet deeply. He quickly rallied the remaining Northern Realm clansmen and selected a boy named Sarshit to join Harriet in leading you to the Extreme Cold Lake."

"After extensive preparations, under the hopeful gazes of the surviving Northern Realm warriors, you set off on your journey toward the North Realm Abyss."

"You arrived at a winding and endless mountain path leading to a deep valley."

"So this is the North Realm Abyss?"

"Thinking this, a bizarre revelation suddenly flashed in your mind: the Circle of Friendliness is located at the bottom of the North Realm Abyss, its coordinates XXXXX."

"This was a revelation from the Holy Redemption."

"Knowing the location of the Circle of Friendliness, you wondered... Could I possibly visit it while searching for the Sky Blue Spear?"

"You began descending into the valley."

"As you ventured deeper into the North Realm Abyss, you noticed gray-white thick fog emerging ahead. These mists formed peculiar shapes and gave off an unsettling vibe. Faintly, unknown ravings echoed from all directions, sometimes near, sometimes far—an ominous presence seemed to be watching from the shadows."

"What a godforsaken place,"

"You felt a chill down your spine and even seriously ’considered’ activating the Hidden God’s Clothes to enter a Hidden state. This sensation was unbearably distressing."

"Harriet noticed your vigilance yet smiled and said... Don’t worry. Holy Envoy from the Divine City, there are indeed horrors within the North Realm Abyss. However, after sacrificing hundreds of Northern Realm clansmen, we’ve discovered a safe path to the Extreme Cold Lake."

"I see."

"Hearing this explanation, you felt slightly relieved."

"You casually remarked... Earlier, I caught faint whispers in the mist and thought something ominous might happen, but now I can rest easy."

"Harriet’s eyes filled with confusion as he asked... What whispers?"

"Did this Guard Captain of Bright Outpost not hear the faint whispers emanating from the white fog?"

"You turned to Sarshit, Harriet’s companion—a top-ten Northern Realm Warrior from the Bright Outpost, trusted deeply and known to whisper with Harriet occasionally during your journey to the Abyss."

"Sarshit also showed a completely puzzled expression, clearly not hearing anything from the gray-white fog."

"Oh, it’s nothing. Maybe I misheard?"

"You laughed it off, changing the subject to avoid exposing anything suspicious."

"Harriet and Sarshit didn’t dwell on it. Their full attention was now focused on escorting you to the Extreme Cold Lake."

"You continued moving deeper into the North Realm Abyss."

"Along the way,"

"You began intensely contemplating the source of these unknown ravings from the gray-white mist. But with scant clues, you could not form a reliable hypothesis."

"You listened carefully, hoping to discern the content of these whispers..."

"You didn’t notice your own abnormal behavior,"

"As a cautious explorer, you were well aware of the dangers of the Old Earth and had always steered clear of such blatantly suspicious ’ravings,’ let alone listening intently."

"But this time, not only did you not avoid them, you actively sought to understand them."

"Twisted, sharp, hoarse, intrusive—these ’ravings’ felt like a sword wildly stabbing inside your head, causing unbearable agony and torment."

"Yet, the more it hurt, the more you wanted to grasp their meaning."

"Suddenly,"

"The torturous pain from the ’ravings’ vanished entirely. The voice now sounded harmonious, as if celebrating all beauty in the world, drawing a smile naturally across your face."

"Harriet spotted your expression and asked instinctively... Holy Envoy from the Holy City, what’s making you smile?"

"It’s nothing. I’m just excited to see the Sky Blue Spear. After all, it’s the great artifact left behind by the King of Nature, isn’t it?"

"Your calm demeanor and smiling gaze betrayed nothing unusual."

"Harriet accepted your explanation and replied with a smile... We, too, eagerly anticipate your wielding of the Sky Blue Spear to reseal the Endless Abyss’s temporal rift and restore hope to the Bright Outpost."

"Time passed unnoticed as,"

"Led by Harriet, you all safely arrived at the Extreme Cold Lake."

"Not even close to the lake, you felt an icy chill hitting you. Before you lay a massive frozen lake, at the center of which stood a kilometer-long ’blue spear’ with mysterious engravings,"

"This is the Sky Blue Spear?"

"You gazed at the spear that seemed to pierce the heavens and then looked at your own six-foot frame, thinking that you’d need to grow a thousand-fold taller to lift it."

"Harriet’s earnest voice came... Holy Envoy from the Divine City, the Sky Blue Spear currently rests in its slumber. Please try activating it."

"It doesn’t cost anything to try, after all."

"What if it actually works?"

"Guided by your innate opportunism, you stepped onto the frozen lake and approached the Sky Blue Spear, feeling quite expectant."

"You recalled the epic sung by the Activated Truth Hall Fragment’s Traveling Poet, which foretold a Man of Destiny would arrive at the Bright Outpost and lift the Sky Blue Spear."

"Could that person be me? The answer would soon become clear."

"Eager to find out, you stretched your hand and placed it on the spear’s shaft."

"A violent tremor erupted as the previously dormant Sky Blue Spear began radiating faint divine brilliance. A natural aura emanated from it, bringing grass to the frozen lake, pine trees to barren rocks—life seemed to flourish everywhere."

"Harriet watched this scene in utter excitement, shouting... It’s awakening, awakening! The Sky Blue Spear is awakening! Bright Outpost is saved! Praise the ancient gods, praise the Holy Envoy from the Divine City!"

"But you felt nothing of the sort; in fact, chills ran through your entire body. Your hair stood on end as fear and confusion overtook you."

"Though the Sky Blue Spear had indeed awakened,"

"You sensed no friendliness emanating from this artifact that was meant to seal the Endless Abyss’s passage. Instead, it radiated intense hostility and hatred—a terrifying natural aura seemed ready to erupt, threatening to tear you apart."

"Looks like I’ll be dying again. What did I ever do to offend you... You muttered inwardly, having grown desensitized to dying and reviving repeatedly."

"But what happened next took you entirely by surprise... A pitch-black, sharp sword pierced through ’your’ chest. Your attacker wasn’t anyone else but the boy Sarshit, who had accompanied Harriet."

"This sudden betrayal left Harriet utterly stunned. His eyes widened, disbelief painted across his face, as he exclaimed... When were you corrupted by the Endless Abyss’s power? This doesn’t make sense—you’re not even sixteen!"

"Your head felt heavy, your consciousness dimming as you faintly heard Sarshit’s voice... Has anyone told you that the Endless Abyss’s power doesn’t only affect those over sixteen among the Northern Realm Clan? Oh, and brother, my friend, my Guard Captain—let me correct you: that’s not corruption; it’s salvation."

"Could it be that the Endless Abyss’s power doesn’t solely target those older than sixteen?"

"And now, how many children at the Bright Outpost have already been corrupted?"

"A chilling dread rose in your heart as you saw the shocked expression on Harriet’s face; evidently, the truth also caught him off guard."

"But for Harriet, this was no time for questions."

"He regarded the awakening Sky Blue Spear, born of your touch, as the last hope of resealing the passage to the Endless Abyss. Now, seeing you skewered by a demon sword, his face contorted with rage, his transcendent power surged as he charged toward Sarshit."

"But in the next moment,"

"Four or five grotesque weapons pierced Harriet’s body from behind—the attackers were other children from the Bright Outpost, similar in age to Sarshit. They had once been clustered around Harriet, instructed to stay behind at the outpost. Yet here they secretly followed, and judging by their twisted and hideous expressions, they had also succumbed to the corruption of the Endless Abyss."

"Your chest had already been impaled,"

"Your consciousness gradually faded."

"You heard Sarshit’s voice beside your ear... The great Endless Abyss is about to return to this world. If you’re able to awaken the Sky Blue Spear, then you are an enemy of the great Abyss Master. You must die."

"As darkness consumed your vision, in your final moments, you saw this scene unfold..."

"Harriet, whose body was pierced by bizarre weapons, did not fall. Instead, a terrifying will began to stir within him, and an ominous aura surged forth—the sky and earth changed color, as if the entire world were overturning."

"You didn’t get to witness what happened next."

"You died."
