Chapter 242: Chapter 240: Hidden Light

Finally, it’s done.

Yang Qizhou exhaled deeply in relief.

The negative effects of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ had always loomed over him like a terrifying shadow. Although the gift from the ’Hidden Wizard King’ could temporarily seal the activity of this legendary ancient object, the seal would only last a few days. Once the seal disappeared and its activity resurfaced, he would still face the risk of being obliterated.

But now, there was no need to worry. The ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ had been refined into the ’Desecration Potion,’ and its terrifying negative effects naturally ceased to exist.

"The ’Hidden Light’ potion was created using the legendary ancient object ’Dream Hidden World Clothes,’ imbued with the powers of the ’Divine Sovereign,’ as the deactivated core ingredient alongside various deactivation materials. Its strength and potential should surpass the likes of the ’God of Victory,’ ’Iron Blood God,’ and ’Demon Lord’ by more than one level."

Muttering under his breath, Yang Qizhou was genuinely looking forward to nurturing the ’Hidden Light.’

The game must go on.

"The negative effects of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ have finally been resolved, allowing you to breathe a sigh of relief."

"With the ’Hidden Light’ potion right before you, there’s no way you’d leave it unused to gather dust. Amid ’Little Seventeen’s’ joyful congratulations, you unhesitatingly drank the Desecration Potion in your hand."

"Moments later,"

"The ’Desecration Potion’ took effect, and within the ’Ancient Roots’ you harbor, a fourth transcendent figure bathed in radiant light appeared."

And now, it begins again?

Yang Qizhou immediately grew fully focused. Having consumed the Desecration Potion three times already and gained experience in nurturing ’deities,’ he knew full well what would happen next.

Sure enough, the scenery before him rapidly flashed by like a reel, and his consciousness began to ascend. Before long, he found himself in a profoundly distorted starry sky. The stars here were abstract and irregular, resembling a child’s messy scribbles, where each star represented the smallest ’symbol’ unit in the universe.

No doubt about it—this was the Star Realm.

Next came the usual routine: locate the star corresponding to the ’Hidden’ symbol, channel consciousness into it, and ignite it.

Upon returning to the real world, Yang Qizhou observed the transcendent figure bathed in radiant light through the ’Ancient Roots’ housed in his left eye. The corresponding information about ’Hidden Light’ surfaced in his mind.

Forgotten Worm: You may create a ’Forgotten Worm’ and have it parasitize target beings, rendering them forgotten by the world line.

Mysterious Resistance: You have strong resistance to powers connected to the mysterious realm.

Soon, all the data regarding ’Hidden Light’ had been integrated. There was no denying it—being born from a legendary ancient object, this deity’s authorities were immensely powerful, leaving Yang Qizhou thoroughly satisfied.

The game must go on.

"After venturing to the Star Realm and igniting the corresponding star, you swiftly digested the information regarding ’Hidden Light.’"

"You are very pleased with this deity’s strength."

"Suddenly, an intriguing thought emerged in your mind... perhaps it’s time to find someone to test ’Hidden Light’s’ prowess."

"The more you think about it, the more enticing the idea becomes, leading you to make a decision. Yet, you faced some difficulty in choosing a ’test subject.’"

"Lena?"

"She’s a devout believer of the ’God of Victory’ and a candidate for a future Holy Envoy. Using her as a test subject feels a little out of line."

"Little Seventeen?"

"This life-like doll-child has an innocent personality. If you use her as the test subject, she’d likely cry inconsolably, and you’d struggle to comfort her. Besides, Little Seventeen is your ally, and you wouldn’t harm people close to you—it’s just not proper."

"As you felt stuck, a name suddenly surfaced in your mind..."

"The Deceiver."

"This guy once impersonated the ’Rest Angel’ and nearly tricked you out of your ’Hidden God’s Clothes.’ Although he didn’t succeed, you thrashed him thoroughly afterward, and the grudge was still there. A scenario like this? Naturally, he’d be a prime candidate."

"You quickly decided to make the Deceiver your ’experiment subject.’ However, another issue arose: how to locate him?"

"After pondering for a moment, your eyes brightened with inspiration—you thought of an excellent plan."

"Why bother searching for him? Simply teleport both of you to a designated location!"

"You revealed a sly smile, drawing upon the unused ’Challenge Sticker’ from your time in the Land of Prayer Light. You activated one of them, targeting the Deceiver."

The Deceiver?

Yang Qizhou was initially unresponsive before realization struck—the Deceiver was none other than ’Fox,’ the recipient of Destiny’s Blessing.

Since thrashing this chubby guy last time, the Deceiver had gradually faded from Yang Qizhou’s radar, to the point where he almost forgot his existence. But now, reminded through the game text, he remembered him unmistakably.

"Sorry, chubby, although I was magnanimous enough to forgive you on account of the six million, your game character still offended mine. You brought this upon yourself."

Yang Qizhou’s words sounded sympathetic, but inwardly, he was grinning ear-to-ear.

He held no personal hatred toward ’Fox’ anymore; in his eyes, the guy was on par with any random extra. However, the chubby lad had offended him in the past, and Yang Qizhou was more than willing to use him as a test subject.

With a mischievous smile inching across his face, Yang Qizhou continued playing...

...

Meanwhile.

After being extorted by Yang Qizhou at a luxury hotel, ’Fox’ had retreated dejectedly to the Magic City. He was now lounging on his sofa, refreshing the game text in ’Deceit World.’

"The ’Rest Angel’s’ main storyline is almost complete. Once I finish this quest, my game character will truly step into the Extraordinary Realm and receive immense powers."

"Hah, thirty years East River, thirty years West River—never underestimate the poor!"

"Badger, just wait—you’ll see. Someday, I’ll make you taste my greatness."

The chubby lad’s aspirations surged high, passionately imagining ’Badger’ groveling at his feet, displaying utmost humility while apologizing profusely. He couldn’t help but laugh gleefully.

But in the next moment, the game text left ’Fox’s’ smile frozen.

The game must go on.

"Using the Deceiver’s powers, you successfully claimed the Sea Soul Pearl in the mid-layer of the Land of Wandering Souls."

"Excitedly, you recall the Rest Angel’s promise of divine blood baptism and eagerly prepare to return to Anxi City to deliver the final material."

"Yet at this moment, the power of ’Destiny’ descended upon you."

"Someone activated the ’Challenge Sticker’ targeting you."

"You will be teleported to the ’Destiny Arena’ to engage in a life-or-death battle with the challenger. The victor may claim one possession from the other as spoils of war."

A Challenge Sticker?

’Fox’ widened his eyes in astonishment; of course, he knew what a Challenge Sticker was. When this special consumable item first launched in the Destiny Exchange, he had wanted to buy one. But mere minutes of hesitation resulted in them selling out entirely. Who would’ve thought someone would use a Challenge Sticker on him?

Luckily, he didn’t know that players had already died in the game due to the Challenge Sticker, including none other than the infamous Li Congyun siblings. Otherwise, he’d likely be scared out of his wits.

The game must go on.

"When you opened your eyes again, the first thing you saw was the grand spectacle of a magnificent white coliseum."

"This must be the Destiny Arena?"

"Curious, you shifted your gaze and quickly spotted the person who used the Challenge Sticker on you. He was staring at you with a mischievous grin, seemingly contemplating something amusing."

"Dark Crow of Profane Fortune?"

"Upon recognizing this individual, your expression instantly changed to one of shock as a chill ran down your spine."

Even as a player, not just the game character, the chubby lad trembled at the thought of this ’Badger’ titan’s game character. The lofty bravado he had just exhibited—the ’thirty years East River, thirty years West River’ and all—had long since been discarded to the wind.

The trauma from that time in the Capital City was simply too overwhelming.

"W-what...what exactly does this ’Badger’ master have in mind? I-I haven’t offended him recently, so why use a Challenge Sticker against me?" The trembling voice of the chubby lad was filled with confusion.

His game character matched his perplexity.

The text updated.

"’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ why have you targeted me with a ’Challenge Sticker?’"

"Although you’ve only encountered him briefly near the River of Death, for reasons unknown, you are keenly aware of the terror he represents. You carefully posed the question."

"Soon you heard his response: ’Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to run a little test, and out of all the potential test subjects, you happened to have a grudge against me—it’s a perfect match.’"

...

...

Meanwhile,

The text for Yang Qizhou’s side also continued to refresh synchronously.

"After explaining your choice of the Deceiver, you didn’t hesitate further. You activated the authority of ’Hidden Light,’ planting the ’Forgotten Worm’ within your opponent..."
