Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 917 - 66: Acting Showdown_3

When the time came, he didn't have time to say goodbye to Zhong Yao and immediately dashed towards the northern ruins.

In Zhong Yao's eyes, Tang Xian was still running into a dense golden mist.

But in Tang Xian's eyes, he had already glimpsed another world.

...

...

Mining Zone. Holy Mountain.

Tang Jing stood before endless lines of pilgrims, gazing at the gates of the forbidden territory, appearing as though he were an anomaly.

If it weren't for the Radiant Divine Envoy, one of the six Divine Envoys, being engaged in conversation with him, this crowd of "pilgrims" would have likely gone mad and rushed forward to kill Tang Jing, the heretic.

"In just two short months, it turned these people from the most normal kind of worshippers into brainwashed cultists. Fandom culture really reeks."

Tang Jing was notably rude to the Radiant Divine Envoy before him.

The Radiant Divine Envoy was also a transformative entity capable of adopting human form—a super-orange-tier beast.

He was one of the cadres of the Eden Court.

The vast hordes of beasts arriving for pilgrimage provided Eden's Master with an almost endless supply of materials for creation. Because of this, Eden's Master and Gu Yin worked together to craft six formidable monsters that surpassed the usual disaster-level bosses.

Even though, in Gu Yin's view, these six monsters named: Order, Radiance, Cycle, Life-and-Death, Heavenly Punishment, and Good-and-Evil, possessed abilities that far surpassed those of Junlin in many ways—

Gu Yin nonetheless believed deep down that Junlin was the most perfect creation.

This, however, was something he never disclosed to Eden's Master.

At least for now, it was the best creation he and Eden's Master could achieve.

The one presently interacting with Tang Jing was the Radiant Divine Envoy.

"Fandom? What's that?"

"Just a new type of cult, not important. I'm here to see Tang Xian."

"The person you wish to see is merely one facet of my Master's identity, a facet which my Master has already discarded. Now, please refer to my Master as the Eden God King."

"Oh, okay. I'm here to see Tang Xian." Tang Jing remained calm.

Although he couldn't fully decipher Qi Yuan and Tang Xian, nor could he access Eden's Master's interface, he could see right through the Radiant Divine Envoy before him.

The Radiant Divine Envoy's analysis of needs already included plans to bring him to Eden's Master, so Tang Jing saw no need to show courtesy.

In human form, the envoy appeared as a plump middle-aged man with a beer belly, dressed in a crisp suit—looking for all the world like the manager of a fine hotel or the butler of a wealthy household.

The Radiant Divine Envoy snorted coldly and led Tang Jing into the depths of the forbidden territory.

Tang Jing silently recorded today's observations. Among the intelligence he'd gathered so far was this: the six Divine Envoys possessed strength far outstripping the Judgment Chief of the Court.

The old altar had been transformed by Eden's Master into a shrine.

It had shed its former gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, becoming bright and expansive.

Eden's Master sat upon the divine throne within the shrine, flipping through records from the grand library of the former Court. He appeared notably interested in some of its contents.

These were histories that had been twisted and distorted. Eden's Master reflected that if he were to craft a flawless life story for himself, it would be necessary to weave a fabricated history.

Soon after, he heard footsteps and closed the book.

When Tang Jing's figure appeared, a smile spread across his face—a smile uncannily similar to Tang Xian's.

For a moment, Tang Jing felt a sense of disorientation.

Though, truthfully, this disorientation was deliberately induced by Tang Jing.

Looking at this stranger who felt so profoundly familiar, Tang Jing feigned confusion and said:

"Are you Tang Xian… now?"

Equally adept at playing his part, Eden's Master showed a bitter smile and responded:

"Jing, what kind of question is that? Of course, I'm Tang Xian."
