Chapter 169: Chapter 167: Pregnant

Since it didn’t seem like anything too important, Yang Qizhou didn’t delve into it further and continued focusing on the text.

"After the consolation of the beautiful woman, the fear-stricken expression on your face finally faded away. Whether you were truly terrified and clung tightly to her out of sheer fear, or perhaps had ulterior motives—only you would know such things."

"Wha-what...what is that?"

"Thinking back to what you saw just moments ago—the towering, flesh-like tree formed by the grotesque amalgamation of various indescribable shapes, yet disturbingly emanating a beauty that seemed to contain all the beauty in the world—you couldn’t help but shudder, instinctively asking her the question."

"You saw the white-robed woman smile. She was so stunning, so alluring, even your very soul seemed to be drawn to her."

"That is an entity known as the ’Mother Tree,’ an Ancient Dominator. They revere the Mother of Beauty and Fertility, who dwells within one of the Four Indescribable Lands—’Dream Realm.’ It is their nature to emanate beauty, attracting all gods, fostering offspring."

...

...

Mother of Beauty and Fertility?

Yang Qizhou was startled. Such an ancient name—but wait, wasn’t it just a few days ago?

Back then, when the ’Dream Hidden King’ descended in all its glory to Fire Stealing Village, it ended up being captured by this deity from Dream Realm. Forced into childbirth, and through a gruesome cesarean section no less—this sequence of events had left a deep impression on him.

Thankfully, [Deceit World] was just a text-based adventure game without visuals. Otherwise, seeing the scene itself would undoubtedly scar him for life.

He hadn’t expected that only a few days later, he’d encounter this terrifying entity once again.

"Luckily, luckily, in the moment of crisis, this beautiful white-robed woman showed up just in time, halting the game character’s actions. It seems the ’Miracle’ authority hasn’t been wasted after all."

...

...

"Hearing this, you secretly shivered."

"You expressed your heartfelt gratitude to the white-robed woman."

"The white-robed woman accepted your thanks, replying that it was unnecessary, and emphasized that protecting humanity from evil forces was the duty of the ’Gatekeeper’ clan."

"’Gatekeeper’ clan?"

"You keenly caught onto the information revealed within her words and asked what the ’Gatekeeper’ was."

"The white-robed woman didn’t immediately answer your question but instead, with a solemn expression, remarked... This place is far too dangerous, already too close to the source of pollution leaking from the Polluted Mountain and Sea. Terrifying events could occur at any moment. Let’s return to the Guardian King City first."

"Polluted Mountain and Sea?"

"Guardian King City?"

"Once again, you captured these two key pieces of information. But as the white-robed woman had said, this was clearly not the place for conversation."

"You readily agreed."

"On the journey back to the Guardian King City, you continued to inquire about the ’Gatekeeper’ clan from the white-robed woman. Yet she constantly dodged the topic, avoiding giving direct answers. After exhausting your efforts, you learned only one thing: her identity."

"She claimed to be Kandar, one of the three Miracle Warriors of the Gatekeeper clan, tasked specifically with patrolling the Polluted Mountain Edge near Polluted Mountain and Sea, investigating its spreading corruption and monitoring the various agitating evil forces."

"Kandar?"

"What a crude-sounding name. It really doesn’t match the image of the elegant white-robed woman standing before you."

"Under the white-robed woman’s guidance, you soon arrived at a grand, towering city. Its colossal walls reached heights of a thousand meters, radiating a sense of antiquity and oppressive majesty. Despite your God of Victory’s Star Spirit dignity, you couldn’t help but feel dwarfed and insignificant."

"But for some unknown reason, this structure, which resembled a Divine City, seemed strange. It felt off, incongruous, and awkward."

"It felt fake."

"Could it be that this so-called Guardian King City has issues?"

"As this thought floated to your mind and you prepared to test your suspicions, you saw the white-robed woman—Kandar—flash a captivating smile. She declared, ’Hurry inside. The other Gatekeepers, knowing an outsider has arrived, have already prepared a welcome for you. We mustn’t keep them waiting too long.’"

"You were mesmerized by her pure and flawless smile, thinking to yourself, ’Such a beautiful woman... And she saved me. She must be trustworthy, right?’"

"For reasons unknown, you couldn’t maintain normal reasoning. In a trance, you followed her into Guardian King City."

"Just as the white-robed woman—Kandar—had said, you received a warm reception within Guardian King City. The Gatekeepers presented delicious food and fine wine, and with no sense of caution, you indulged wholeheartedly in the feast."

"Whether it was an illusion or not, you seemed to glimpse something unsettling amidst the banquet. All the Gatekeepers appeared to wear the same face."

"It was the face of the white-robed woman, Kandar..."

"You shook your head, trying to dispel your drunken stupor and regain clarity. Sure enough, the faces of the Gatekeepers changed again, though you couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different. It was as though their faces were in constant flux, morphing constantly."

"It was at this moment that the white-robed woman—Kandar—seated herself beside you."

"She was still stunning... Just as beautiful as the Mother Tree."

"As the scent wafting from her ear reached you, a thought instinctively emerged in your mind."

"Then Kandar spoke. Her voice, ethereal, dreamlike, and captivating, carried an undertone of deep malevolence that unnerved you, reaching directly into your ears."

"’Do you want an offspring?’"

"Wait, this abruptly?"

"You felt a mixture of surprise and excitement, blurting out... How do I have offspring?"

"’Naturally, you will give birth to it yourself.’"

"Kandar’s voice remained mesmerizing, ethereal, and pure, yet the content of her words made you feel like a bucket of icy water had been poured over your head, filling you with a spreading cold dread."

"Awkwardly, you chuckled... Uh, Miss Kandar, you must be joking, right?"

"It was then that you noticed all the Gatekeepers within Guardian King City cease their activities simultaneously and fix their gaze upon you. Their once indistinct faces quickly grew sharp and clear, and all of them bore the same visage as the white-robed woman, Kandar."

"In unison, they spoke."

"’Of course not.’"

...

...

Uncultured as I am, what more can I say than "holy shit"?

At first, as Yang Qizhou read through the story’s text, he didn’t feel much. But as the game character followed the white-robed woman—Kandar—into Guardian King City, he already felt his scalp tingling. By the time all the Gatekeepers wore Kandar’s face and collectively requested the game character to give birth, Yang Qizhou was covered in goosebumps.

"Holy shit, what kind of twisted plot is this? What the hell is going on here?"

"Wasn’t this Kandar supposed to save the game character from the Mother Tree? How did she suddenly become the ultimate villain?"

"This plot twist is way too abrupt."

Muttering to himself, Yang Qizhou suddenly recalled something and quickly scrolled up through the text, soon stumbling upon an ordinary-looking sentence that, upon closer examination, held major implications.

"’She was still stunning... Just as beautiful as the Mother Tree.’"

"Holy shit, so that’s it! The game character never truly escaped the evil entity—a monstrous being formed of countless fleshy bodies, resembling a bloody tree and seemingly gathering all worldly beauty. On the contrary, when the game character gazed upon it, the entity was also gazing upon them."

"And the true identity of the white-robed woman Kandar is evidently none other than the malicious existence claiming to be the Mother Tree itself."

Realizing this, Yang Qizhou felt a sense of genuine crisis for the first time.

While the game character had faced many dangers before—the descent of the Dream Hidden King, the pursuit of the Abyss Old God, the traps of the Tree Ancient God—they always had the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune as a fallback. The save and load nodes had coincidentally been set during safe periods, so Yang Qizhou had always been confident that the game character could make it out alive.

But this time was different.

Now, the game character’s situation was dire. They had essentially been captured by the Mother Tree, and even if they committed suicide to respawn, escaping would be nearly impossible.

The most critical problem... The previous choice point appeared after the white-robed woman’s arrival, meaning that even if Yang Qizhou used the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune to load the save file, it would return him to the same scenario—captured by the Mother Tree.

"Damn, is the ’Miracle’ authority even working? What kind of good fortune is this? This is as bad as it gets."

"For now, let’s keep reading. Based on past experiences, if the options appear while being captured by the Mother Tree, it suggests these choices will lead to two entirely different paths. If this decision turns out to be a dead end, then the seemingly absurd option of ’perishing together with the white-robed woman’ might actually be the path to salvation."

While muttering this aloud, Yang Qizhou continued refreshing the text.

...

"Suddenly, you felt a swelling sensation in your abdomen."

"Terrified, you shouted at the white-robed woman—’Kandar’... What is happening to me?"

"The white-robed woman—’Kandar,’ oh wait, it would be more precise to call her the ’Mother Tree.’"

"You heard her ethereal, chilling voice answer."

"’Because the wine and food you consumed just now were created from the authority of the great Mother of Beauty and Fertility—Dream Realm’s Mother Goddess Flower Seed.’"
