Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Asgard

It’s time for the most beloved moment—making a choice. Yang Qizhou’s lips curled into a subconscious smirk.

In fact, even without this choice, he could still use the function of the ’Time-Space Gate’ to control his game character and teleport to [Asgard][Polluted Mountain Edge][Black Water Reef]—any of these places.

But there’s something different about a choice...

Once a choice is made, the save-point for the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ will also be created, which serves as a safeguard of sorts.

"Return to the Original Land to reunite with ’Lena’?"

"That’s not urgent for now,"

"The storyline of ’Fire Stealing Village’ has already concluded. The plot after returning will likely revolve around the ’Silver Divine Envoy,’ who is expected to appear in thirty-six hours. There’s still some time left,"

"If that’s the case, why not explore ’Asgard’ first?"

The more Yang Qizhou thought about it, the more feasible it seemed,

God’s Fortress ’Asgard’ is a new map that the game character must explore. [Lucky Coin] can be found there, and [Circle of Friendliness] might also be there. It’d be better to scout ahead and test the waters.

With the power of ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ he could always rely on saving and loading to escape from any predicament whenever he wished.

Well then, let’s begin.

...

...

"You have chosen to travel to God’s Fortress, ’Asgard.’"

"You see the teleportation gate emitting colorful streams of light, which engulf you. You watch as the scenery around you spins like a carousel, transforming incessantly. When you open your eyes again, you find yourself in an unfamiliar fortress."

"So this is God’s Fortress, ’Asgard’? You take in the views before you, overwhelmed by deep awe."

"It is a megacity beyond any verbal description. Nine ’Holy Emblems’ spin in the heavens like nebulas, each vast enough to measure ten thousand meters in diameter. Within the city, nine colossal Divine Statues stand upright at nine different positions. The sky is also graced by flying magical creatures—some resemble fairies, others giants, and still others elves."

"You are spellbound by the breathtaking scenery and unconsciously walk deeper into the city,"

"You see residents bathed in Holy Light, each dressed impeccably, and their faces glowing with smiles of happiness. The ’eeriness’ and ’horror’ of the wilderness seem worlds away from here."

"You recall the ’Six-Faced Monster’s description of God’s Fortress back in ’Dark Mist Town.’"

"It is a city-state formed by the divine nations of the Ancient Gods."

"The dwelling place of the ’Ancient Gods.’"

"You cannot help but marvel,"

"It truly feels like Heaven."

"Just then, a magical creature with pristine white wings passes by you. You quickly stop them and ask... ’Honored being, forgive my intrusion, but may I ask where this place is?’"

"Of course, you already know this is ’Asgard,’ but you just need an excuse to strike up a conversation."

"As expected,"

"The creature with white wings smiles warmly and says... ’This is Asgard Fortress in the Radiant Kingdom, the sacred land where the divine nations of nine Ancient Gods reside.’"

"At that moment, the creature seems to notice something, surprise flickering across their face,"

"’Are you an outsider, a traveler? Truly fascinating. You haven’t obtained transcendent power, yet you managed to cross the wilderness, laden with mystery and danger, to arrive at Asgard. How did you accomplish that?’"

"Naturally, you wouldn’t divulge everything..."

"You respond apologetically, saying that it’s a secret not fit to be shared."

"The magical creature doesn’t press the issue further. Their face breaks into a sunny smile, and they passionately extend an invitation to you,"

"’Traveler from the wilderness, you must be curious about this God’s Fortress, right? It so happens that my residence is just ahead. I suppose you have some time to visit me, don’t you?’"

"It’s no surprise that in this city of divine beings, far removed from ’eeriness’ and ’horror,’ and blessed by the Ancient Gods, every resident seems so warm and hospitable."

"You are struck by such generosity,"

"Suddenly, your body is overcome by chills. You feel as though countless malicious gazes have locked onto you, brimming with greed, brimming with malevolence, brimming with terror."

"You instinctively glance around, but the scenery remains tranquil and serene. Even some passersby who meet your eyes return your gaze with friendly smiles."

"Could it have been a misperception?"

"Unable to make sense of it, you decide to set aside the eerie and unsettling sensation for the time being."

"With the magical creature’s warm invitation before you, and with the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ as your pillar of confidence, as well as the ’Destiny Power’ capable of rewriting death endings providing you with solace, you feign hesitation before agreeing to the invitation."

"You follow the magical creature forward,"

"You casually ask for their name."

"The magical creature offers you their introduction,"

"Through this exchange, you learn of their origins. Their name is ’Salma,’ a guardian seated to the right of the Ancient Wisdom God’s throne, a messenger spreading the ’spirit light’ of the divine in the mortal realm, and the Divine Envoy of the Wisdom Sect."

"The Divine Envoy’s position should be above that of the Sect Leader, shouldn’t it? And with such a long list of titles, it sure does sound excessively grandiose. You can’t help but secretly click your tongue."

"Without revealing a change in expression, you offer respect to the Wisdom Divine Envoy ’Salma.’"

"The Wisdom Divine Envoy ’Salma’ smiles and graciously accepts your praise."

"You discreetly ask... ’Asgard is composed of the divine nations of nine Ancient Gods. Apart from the Ancient Wisdom God, who are the other gods?’"

"By now, you were drawing closer to ’Salma’s’ residence."

"Salma replies... ’The nine Ancient Gods of Asgard include the Ancient Wisdom God, the Fire Stealing Ancient God, the Moonlight Ancient God, the Star Color Ancient God, the Order Ancient God, the Harvest Goddess, the Iron Blood Ancient God, the Jilv Ancient God, and the vassal god of the great King of Nature, the Tree Ancient God.’"

"You are not entirely unfamiliar with all the Ancient Gods. You have already heard of the existence of the Moonlight, Fire Stealing, and Star Color Ancient Gods."

"Suddenly, a sense of ’incongruity’ arises within you, growing ever stronger,"

"You recall the Moonlight Ancient God’s sacrificial altar, long abandoned, surrounded by sinister [Dream Realm Mother Goddess Flower Seeds]. Its ’Holy Image’ even once birthed Dream Realm’s Child."

"You remember the Fire Stealing Ancient God. According to the Fire Stealing Priest’s account, the Ancient God has fallen asleep, enduring a horrific experience in dreams, seemingly tied to a Dream Realm catastrophe."

"You also recall the Star Color Ancient God. According to the Six-Faced Monster’s description, when Dark Mist Town was tainted by wind and rain, prayers to their faith’s Ancient God—including this deity who governs the ’sea of subconscious thought’—yielded inconsistent results. At times, prayers even directed them to unknown entities."

"If the Ancient Gods are plagued with issues here and there, why does ’Asgard’ seem utterly unaffected?"

"You can’t help but shudder."

"At the same time,"

"Under the guidance of the Wisdom Divine Envoy ’Salma,’ you step into a ’mysterious’ building."

"Your vision goes dark, and you lose consciousness."

"You die."
