Chapter 176: Chapter 174: The Bizarre Incident in the Guardian King City

The game character saw the real ’Guardian King City’? I wonder if this will trigger some plot?

Yang Qizhou was even more enthusiastic, and started clicking the screen even faster.

The text refreshed.

...

...

"This should be the real ’Guardian King City,’ right?"

"A realization surfaced in your mind."

"And your speculation was quickly confirmed by ’Kandar.’ Through his testimony, the grand and indescribable city before you truly was the real ’Guardian King City.’

"You remembered Kandar’s description of how something bad had happened within ’Guardian King City,’ which forced him and some of the residents to escape."

"You wondered,"

"Whether the bad events were caused by the polluting forces of ’Polluted Mountain and Sea’ dirtying this land, or connected to ’Dream Realm,’ one of the Four Indescribable Lands."

"Though your thoughts drifted, you had no intention of exploring ’Guardian King City.’

"After all, ’Guardian King City’ was once protected by ’Wisdom God,’ an Ancient God suspected to possess a higher position than the ’Divine Sovereign.’ Its protective forces must have been unimaginably powerful, yet even then, ’Guardian King City’ fell. One could guess how terrifying the evil forces within must be."

"Although you’ve grown accustomed to dying and resurrecting, you’re not a masochist and certainly not looking for death."

"You waved goodbye to ’Kandar’ and prepared to leave."

"However, at that moment, the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed’ suddenly grew scaldingly hot. A revelation arose in your mind—a revelation more intense than ever before."

"There’s treasure in ’Guardian King City.’

"Not ordinary treasure, but something coveted even by high-ranking divine beings and of unimaginable value."

"You felt shocked, never expecting the passive effect of ’Dragon Tooth of Greed’ to activate, let alone to such an unprecedented degree."

"Accompanying the revelation was the negative effect of ’Dragon Tooth of Greed,’ which stirred an uncontrollable, overwhelming desire for the treasure in ’Guardian King City.’ Even using your ’Star Spirit’ position couldn’t suppress it."

"Why not go inside and take a look? What if you really find the treasure?"

"You had a bold idea."

"Once again, at a crossroads set by fate, you—an explorer sinisterly exploiting the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ to restart destiny lines—stood before a dilemma."

"Will you choose to head into ’Guardian King City’ to find the treasure revealed by the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed’?"

"Or will you resist the negative effects of ’Dragon Tooth of Greed’ and continue toward the Boundary Gate?"

"Make your choice."

...

...

Oh, oh, oh, another choice moment—how thrilling!

Yang Qizhou’s lips involuntarily curled into a grin.

For others, the appearance of an option merely indicated the plot had branched. For Yang Qizhou, it was entirely different. He had the power of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ enabling him to not only re-roll his choices but also retain the rewards from previous destiny lines, while enjoying free perks from the ’Destiny Store.’ It was like sheer bliss knocking on his door and staying forever.

As for what choice to make, did you need to even ask? Of course, option ’One.’

"The ’Dragon Tooth of Greed’ has explicitly hinted there’s something good in ’Guardian King City.’ If it were other players, they might need to weigh the consequences of choosing such a divergent destiny line."

"But I’m different."

"I have the official cheat—no, I mean GM-level permissions—from the ’Desecrating Dark Crow.’

"At worst, I’ll just reload and make another choice. If I happen to scavenge some valuable loot, it would be a total win."

With these thoughts in mind, Yang Qizhou didn’t hesitate and made his move immediately.

...

...

"Upon learning you intended to enter ’Guardian King City,’ Kandar was horrified. He frantically tried to dissuade you, warning that the city was lost, parasitized by dreadful and malevolent powers, creating horrors beyond imagination for anyone who enters."

"Of course, you were acutely aware of this, but with the negative effect of ’Dragon Tooth of Greed,’ coupled with your confidence in the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ you dismissed the consequences lightly, thinking you’d simply restart the ’destiny line’ anyway."

"You insisted on venturing into ’Guardian King City,’ attributing your decision to the negative effect of the ’Dragon Tooth of Greed.’

"Kandar hesitated but wouldn’t simply stay outside ’Guardian King City.’ Instead, he declared, ’You are the savior of the "Wisdom God" and the Wizard in the Oracle to rescue Wisdom’s Edge. I must do my utmost to protect you, ensuring no harm befalls you. Therefore, I will accompany you into "Guardian King City."’

"Well, wasn’t that delightful?"

"You smirked internally, having just wondered how to convince Kandar to join you. Who would’ve thought he’d throw himself into the trap willingly?"

"You both made your way toward ’Guardian King City’...

"Along the way, you stayed vigilant, watching your surroundings cautiously, fearing the sudden onset of terrifying events."

"After all, this was the ’Guardian King City’ that suffered erosion by unknown calamities and had fallen into ruin, causing even its Gatekeepers to relocate. Nobody knew when, or what kind of horrifying events might occur; it was entirely possible to suddenly and inexplicably die at any moment."

"You even activated the first effect of ’Hidden God’s Clothes,’ entering a ’Hidden’ state."

"But to your surprise..."

"Not only did no horrifying, strange, indescribable events occur along the way, there wasn’t a single creature warped into monstrosity by ’Polluted Mountain and Sea’ contamination. The tranquility was almost unnerving."

"You couldn’t help but ask Kandar: Is this really the ’Guardian King City,’ where terrifying forces of erosion once caused bad things to happen?"

"Kandar was equally bewildered, remaining silent for a long time."

"Thus, you both entered ’Guardian King City.’

"But the next sight left you both wide-eyed in astonishment... You saw the grand city bustling with activity, a sea of humanity flowing through the streets—lovers embraced and kissed, children played and laughed, "mysticologists" dressed like wizards with pointed hats and gray wizard robes wandered the streets, extolling the glorious era when ’Wizards’ ruled the Old Land during the Middle-Late Third Epoch.

"People openly dressing as ’Wizards’? No surprise given this is the ’Guardian King City’ that worships ’Wisdom God.’

"Wait," frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"The real issue here is... how overly harmonious this city seems."

"You asked Kandar again what’s going on. The other man appeared even more astonished than you, looking around in doubt as if all prior knowledge was mistaken."

"After discussing for a while, you decided to visit Kandar’s friend’s house to investigate."

"The grandeur of the true ’Guardian King City’ was overwhelming. Every street was dozens of meters wide, bordered by mysterious, Gothic-style buildings. Churches were scattered everywhere. Judging from the density of the populace, the city’s population exceeded a million—beyond comparison to ’Fire Stealing Village’ or ’Asgard.’

"On your way to Kandar’s friend’s house."

"If you could convert all the residents here into ’God of Victory’ believers, ’Old Sacrifice’ returns would skyrocket."

"As soon as this thought emerged, you died."

"You died."

"You died."

...

...

???

So many question marks?

How did the game character die? He was perfectly fine moments ago, then suddenly perished, and without any apparent cause? It really seemed like a forced plot-kill.

Suddenly panicked, Yang Qizhou jerked upright from the sofa.

"Damn, tricked by the text—or rather, the game character was deceived by the seemingly peaceful scene. The ’Guardian King City’ has been lost for years. Even Kandar, whose combat power rivals ’Angel God,’ couldn’t reclaim it. How could the harmonious sights we witnessed possibly be real?"

Yet death was nothing new to him.

Yang Qizhou had no shortage of ’Destiny Fire Bottles.’ Instead, if he could find high-rank items within ’Guardian King City,’ it would be an incredible gain."

With a mindset prepared to sacrifice lives to fleece the treasure, Yang Qizhou resumed refreshing the text.

...

...

"Soon enough, the cycle of death and resurrection was complete. Under the blessing of Destiny Power, the outcome of your demise was rewritten."

"You reopened your eyes on the bustling street."

"Kandar wore a peculiar expression of joy. His words were stranger still, asking you what you were up to moments ago, why you had suddenly said ’wait here, I need to step out,’ then bolted away."

"Kandar didn’t remember you’d died once?"

"In his memory, you’d merely run off abruptly, then returned equally abruptly."

"This realization struck you, prompting you to explain your inexplicable death to Kandar."

"He evidently understood the gravity of the situation and suddenly seemed to recall something. Taking out a ruby-made pendant, he swung it in a specific way to initiate some sort of mysticism ritual."

As someone familiar with the attributes of ’Wisdom,’ you understood that deities or apostles governing this domain excelled in using mystical knowledge to leverage layers of hidden power for their purposes. However, Kandar’s bulky, gruff appearance was quite at odds with what you’d expect from a mysticologist, making it oddly jarring to see him performing mysticism knowledge earnestly."

"Kandar swiftly completed a simple ritual and urged you to find his friend quickly. ’He’s, he’s, he’s...’

"Kandar suddenly froze, forgetting who his mentioned friend even was."

"At that exact moment, you witnessed one of Kandar’s legs break off without warning."
