Chapter 284: Chapter 268: The Erosion of Divinity

"This is a temple standing steadfast amidst the wind and snow. The architecture merges seamlessly into one, with pure white walls. At the very top, the ’Emblem of Justice,’ surrounded by countless angels, is engraved. Light pours through the glass windows, giving one a sense of tranquility as though their soul has attained redemption."

"There’s no generated save and load node..."

"It seems this time, avoiding direct conflict with the deity presiding over ’Justice’ is paramount."

"Thinking about the description provided by the Evil Gods of the ’Land of Prayer Light,’ how the ’God of Justice’ seems to have encountered significant troubles, with a terrifying will awakened and searching for the pathway to open the ’Lost Heaven,’ an extra layer of wariness and concern settles in your heart."

"’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ perhaps we will soon discover the location of the Taboo Treasure, and bring this journey within the ’Land of Prayer Light’ to a fulfilling conclusion."

"An excited voice resonates nearby. The Secret Cultivator, unaware that the ’God of Justice’ may not be as sacred or exalted as His legendary title suggests, probably assumes He is an approachable deity. The thought of finally uncovering the treasure left behind from the Third Epoch, one involving the ’Path to Godhood,’ fills him with boundless excitement."

"You reminded him briefly... Don’t celebrate too soon; don’t forget, the ’God of Justice’ is under no obligation to help us."

"The Secret Cultivator calms down..."

"Indeed, although the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ helped the Children of Justice defeat the evil army and drove back countless Evil Gods, thus gaining the favor of the ’God of Justice,’ the two of them have never met this deity in person. No one can guarantee how He will respond to their requests."

"Meanwhile,"

"After offering prayers, Alman and other God-chosen beings gradually exited the temple. The ’Secret Cultivator’ wanted to intercept one of the Children of Justice but was stopped by you, who shook your head and signaled for patience. Soon, the temple became empty and desolate."

"It’s coming..."

"You seem to sense something and murmured softly."

"An unseen yet intense wave emerges in the void. A pure white, ’Justice’ Holy Emblem begins to manifest, shifting from blurry to crystal clear. It radiates a rich but gentle light, resembling the previous rise of the Pure White Sun. Within the depths of the light, a vague and indistinct silhouette appears briefly."

"Having just helped you repel countless Evil Gods in the ’Land of Prayer Light,’ you can’t expect tearful gratitude, but not even showing up? Even after arriving at the temple, He’s still hiding within His divine sanctuary."

"You feel quite dissatisfied with the ’God of Justice’s’ decision not to reveal His true form."

"At that moment, a warm, kind, and gentle voice, tinged with subtle profundity, flows from the pure white light... You, shrouded in mist, possess both ’Holy Redemption’ and the ’Circle of Friendliness.’ Are you here for the Emblem of Justice?"

"Your face instantly turns grim."

...

Not only the Game Character but even Yang Qizhou himself felt startled upon reading the content presented on the screen.

The fact that the ’God of Justice’ knows the Game Character carries the ’Circle of Friendliness’ and ’Holy Redemption,’ the two holy artifacts of the King of Virtue? Well, it makes sense. If He Himself was Activated from the ’Emblem of Justice,’ being able to sense these related divine objects makes it easier to uncover the Game Character’s secrets...

"’Lamp-holder,’ are you interested in the divine artifact within the Land of Prayer Light? That’s the real reason you agreed to help me, isn’t it?" A gritted voice echoes beside, as the Secret Cultivator’s eyes almost seem to blaze with fury.

Her anger isn’t unjustified...

To enlist this sole ungraded S-Class player of the ’Deceit Bureau,’ she began by paying a hefty amount of the Old Sacrifice, and later assisted him in investigating the fleeing convict Luo Fusheng from ’Deceit Prison.’ Only then did she earn the promise of jointly tackling the ’Land of Prayer Light’ storyline.

Though it appeared as a mutual transaction on the surface, the Secret Cultivator thought she gained an advantage and felt quite appreciative. Who would have guessed the other party had his own motives all along, agreeing to help merely as a side note.

Yang Qizhou scratched the back of his head, "Uh, well, it seems that’s true."

"Regardless, let’s move forward. ’Lamp-holder,’ I hope you will honor your promise and help me locate the Taboo Treasure..." The following sentence—’instead of getting what you desire and abandoning the storyline with my Game Character’—the Secret Cultivator refrained from voicing, as it was too blunt and could lead to irreparable fallout.

Bearing such grievance inwardly, unable to vocalize her frustration, the Secret Cultivator feels deeply dispirited.

Taking a hefty gulp of cola, Yang Qizhou himself felt a pang of guilt. He had taken her resources, relied on her accommodations, and received a lot of assistance from her, yet pulled a sly maneuver in this matter. After contemplating for a moment, he spoke, "Regarding the method for ascendancy to godhood, I do know a few things. If we fail to uncover the ’Taboo Treasure,’ or if the treasure lacks a way to achieve godhood, I will take responsibility and find a way to help you ascend."

"Really..." The Secret Cultivator raised her head abruptly, the gloom in her heart dissipating in an instant, as though finding a silver lining amidst the clouds.

Yang Qizhou smiled and nodded, "Of course. Do you know who I am? I’m the ’Lamp-holder.’ Since I’ve made the promise, I’ll absolutely keep it."

The Secret Cultivator also smiled,

The solemn vow of the ’Lamp-holder’ dissipated all her previous anxieties. Looking at his face, she found it much more agreeable.
