Chapter 625: Chapter 297: Aftermath

For Li Changhe, the rewards of the Great Tang mission were abundant - leveling up the Immortal Cavalry, acquiring the Hundred Generals’ Saber, and the Sin Dragon Mo Blade. Moreover, a large number of materials from Demon Beast Species and Fantasy Species were harvested.

Even if they couldn’t extract Sequential genes from these materials, the materials alone were still a substantial source of income.

Furthermore, those materials might help upgrade the equipment Li Changhe already had to Epic levels.

The remaining materials and skills could be sold for game currency to purchase or exchange for Sequential genes.

If that wasn’t enough, they could sell more of those boxes.

As for the other players, they weren’t far behind. Not to mention the spoils obtained after killing their enemies, the treasure box of the Abyss Gatekeeper alone could provide a nice additional income to players who completed the task.

Of course, the stubborn and embarrassment-prone might even see Mythical Quality equipment.

For example, in the [forum], a player claimed to have opened Mythical Quality boots of sun pursuit, but unfortunately, the size was wrong and they didn’t fit well.

Who knows if they’re just bragging.

However, despite the considerable rewards of the Great Tang mission, many players, including Li Changhe, felt a deep exhaustion in their souls after the intense battles.

With a death rate exceeding 80%, the danger was naturally beyond words. Every surviving player was tired... too tired.

Especially those players whose teammates had suffered heavy losses, they were immersed in the pain of losing friends, not even able to think about handling their rewards.

Too many people sacrificed their lives.

Among them were many powerful Champion Level players.

Some official players tried to assassinate the God’s Chosen, only to fall into the enemy’s encirclement. With their dying breath, they would attempt to strike at the God’s Chosen, hoping to ease the pressure on those who came after them.

Some players had tried to stop the ritual of becoming a demon, and with two friends, held up an entire rebel army battalion in street battles. They killed hundreds of Chaos Warriors before ultimately being trampled to death.

Some players used their Extraordinary abilities to turn the fallen soldiers into walking corpses, blocking the rebel army’s assault, only to have their heads chopped off in the end.

Some players summoned a giant dragon to face the Chaos God’s Chosen, only to end up perishing together.

Bai Yujing, on the other hand, didn’t even get a chance to showcase his formidable power before he was literally exhausted to death in an effort to delay the enemy’s advance.

Chi Yao...

Li Changhe still hasn’t been able to get in touch with the Moon God.

Before the mission ended, Li Changhe saw her take some materials, sit on a rooftop, smoke a cigarette while staring at the moon, and remain silent until the end of the mission.

She personally killed six Chaos Believers, second only to the girl.

However, regardless of how many she killed, it was hard for her to quell the rage and remorse in her heart.

Thus, the direction of the [forum] wind quickly shifted under the manipulation of certain organizations, pointing the finger at the Chaos Believers.

Unfortunately, Chaos Believers were no different from other players, hiding among the masses and difficult to detect.

Many players were even hearing the term "Chaos Believers" for the first time. Punishing them seemed unlikely.

[Players] themselves were extremely good at hiding. Perhaps even the guy fixing phones under the overpass could be a [Player].

Finding Chaos Believers among [Players] was even more difficult.

Even if they met in a [Task], players couldn’t tell if their temporary teammates had secretly started worshiping someone.

However, the events that transpired during this task could serve as a wake-up call for the players.

Of course, there was still a significant difference between the story world and the Real World. Not to mention the military strength in the Real World.

But among the millions of human players, who knows if there might be someone capable of rivaling the Evil God.

...

In an office somewhere, a middle-aged man working overtime suddenly stopped typing on his keyboard.

Someone sent him a message through a [Friends] connection in his consciousness.

"My Lord, White King is still dead. The divine power had frozen her blood and pierced her bones and internal organs. Even a Holy Healing Potion couldn’t save her. After more than 20 hours of surgery, she still..." The other party said: "It was probably the Authority of Demon Baal. It broke her body the moment she used the Escape Coin."

"What a waste!" The middle-aged man paused and continued typing on the keyboard. It’s unclear if he was referring to White King or her teammates who tried to help her as wastes. Or perhaps, both.

Although the middle-aged man couldn’t participate in the Great Tang mission, he was well aware of the tactics of the Chaos Believers. If a single God’s Chosen had survived, the situation would have changed.

What’s more, White King and her team had the Evil God’s Divine Gift, which was essentially the nemesis of the Holder.

Yet, they still allowed the plan to fail under such circumstances.

What else could they be but failures?

"It’s a shame that my lord placed such trust in her. I shouldn’t have upgraded to LV10!" The middle-aged man replied: "With her power and the Divine Gift, how could she have just died like that?"

"She did her best. According to the returning companions, she was attacked by a powerful Transcendent and a Holder. Moreover, the players who participated in this task were quite strong. Four Holders, including several who could rival the God’s Chosen, like Great Wall Yang Dong!" The other party responded: "Besides, if it hadn’t been for Li Shimin’s backup plan, we could have controlled that world even if all the God’s Chosen had perished. Too bad, they outplayed us."

"That’s no excuse; we should have anticipated this move. Li Shimin starting from a rebellion, and you directly involve his son in it?!" The middle-aged man suppressed his anger, instead rubbing his face in apparent fatigue, exchanging a few words with his colleagues who were also working overtime.

Meanwhile, he asked in [Friends]: "Never mind, since the incident has already happened, let’s see what we can salvage from it. Has the Tang Empress been found out?"

"No, she’s kept her cover well. She’s a believer of the Divinity and didn’t even participate in this operation."

"Enough. This means we still have a chance to enter the Great Tang." The middle-aged man asked again, "White King... did she say anything?"

After receiving treatment for over twenty hours, White King should have been able to send a message.

"..." The other party hesitated for a moment before responding: "Yes, she said our lord betrayed her. Xue Shen’s ascent to demonhood... indeed came a bit later than expected."

The middle-aged man was taken aback. White King had high natural aptitude and was even bestowed with the Divine Gift by the Evil God. Why would she say such a thing before her death?

Xue Shen? Wasn’t he the most suitable God’s Chosen candidate chosen by Blood River in the Great Tang? Why would he delay becoming a demon?

Could it be that someone else had caught Blood River’s attention more than that guy? The middle-aged man felt a strange notion in his heart.

"Is there any chance Xue Shen’s body could have been brought back?"

"No chance. Li Er’s army had already appeared, and the companions had no choice but to retreat quickly."

"Well, give her a proper burial. They say Chen Tianjiao of the Great Wall has reached the Demigod realm. Hold off on any actions for now," The middle-aged man ordered, "I will personally lead the team next time."

"Yes, my God’s Chosen Lord."
