Chapter 518: Chapter 515: "It’s So Painful." (I am Liang Chen, Who Fears Me? Alliance Hierarch added 1/3)

After resting for a night in the wooden house, Su Ming’an opened his eyes.

Xiber was still asleep on the bed when he pushed open the door and bathed in the brilliant morning sunlight.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling noise.

"...Good morning." A familiar voice came from nearby.

He turned his head and saw a dark-haired girl looking at him with a smile.

"Long time no see," she said. "I didn’t expect to see you on the sixth day."

Su Ming’an noticed that the girl’s figure was slightly suspended and somewhat transparent, not like a normal human being.

"What identity do you have this time?" he asked.

"Something like... a ghost," the girl replied. "Right now, only you can see and hear me."

"An identity like that..." Su Ming’an mused. "I thought you weren’t in this world, considering this is a world of peak competitions... Right, your identity isn’t human this time?"

"Being a ghost is better than being human, at least I don’t suffer from the torment of curses," Yuanyuan said.

"How many years this time?"

"Hmm... about twelve years or so, not long," she replied. "In these years, I’ve often seen people conducting various rituals. I almost memorized all the steps, and I’ve also learned a variety of unique ritual instruments."

"You’ve learned more and more."

"Yes. I sleep periodically, and I just woke up and saw you... By the way, on my way here, I also saw a man in a black robe."

"Is he surrounded by a lot of curse beasts?"

"Yes," Yuanyuan said. "He seems to be the Young Tribe Leader of Qiongdi."

...So it really was Fengchang.

Su Ming’an should have guessed it was him.

points of favorability, only dropped from the original 100 points.

After all, Su Ming’an’s own identity is Xiber’s fantasy creation and not a real Qiongdi human. Except for Fengchang, who had his favorability increased by him earlier, other characters shouldn’t have such high initial favorability towards him.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind.

Xiber pushed open the door.

"Good morning," Xiber said, looking at Su Ming’an. "The weather is exceptionally good today."

"Let’s go," Su Ming’an said.

Since Yuanyuan was in a ghost form, invisible to others, they successfully returned to the vicinity of the twenty-nine tribes.

As the succession ceremony was approaching, Noel had to go back to disguising herself as a saintess. Su Ming’an pulled Luna over to replace her.

Luna was an ally Su Ming’an rarely interacted with, and compared to Lv Shu and Lin Yin, she was very reliable, being a top hundred player with strong overall capabilities.

The specific steps to win over these tribes were also straightforward, an "easy little plan" even Edward could learn.

1. Have Luna, clad in a black robe, perform a grand shamanistic dance in front, pretending to be Bai Shen.

2. Use cursed creatures to bite Yamada Machiichi, infecting him with a curse. (Yamada Machiichi strongly protested this step)

3. Su Ming’an would use the Lasting Radiance Skill to transfer the curse to himself.

4. Xiber absorbed and purified the curse with its tentacles.

This series of smooth combos, along with having Sha La in the team, who could truly suppress the curse, ensured no one could expose their deception anymore.

During this time, they had encountered other players, but upon seeing Su Ming’an controlling spatial vibrations from behind, and protected by two high combat power guides from Luna and Yamada Machiichi, no one dared to engage them head-on in battle.

After a day of bluffing and trickery, Su Ming’an’s faith had soared to 4980/10000.

News of Bai Shen’s awakening spread widely across Qiongdi, and the "Lighthouse Church" gradually gained fame.

"It’s getting dark soon,"

Luna sighed and turned around.

The hem of her black robe was already covered in mud; they had been on the move all day.

"Let’s continue tomorrow," she said.

"Good, finally heading back, my arm can barely take it anymore," Yamada Machiichi also sighed deeply.

...He was really at his limit.

That day, they had to perform Bai Shen’s curse purification ability in front of each tribe they encountered, which invariably meant having a cursed creature bite his arm each time.

Although the curse was quickly transferred to Su Ming’an behind him, his arm was riddled with wounds... Looking at it, it was all bloody scars, as if a sadist was tormenting him.

Hearing this, Luna glared at him.

This woman, hailing from North Country, radiated a unique robustness and even stood a head taller than Yamada Machiichi. When she looked down, her presence could completely overshadow him, her demeanor immensely imposing.

"Just minor wounds, don’t be so melodramatic. The Number One Player has been tormented by curses many times and never complained. You’ve been bitten by small bugs a dozen times and you start to whine?" Luna said, "That doesn’t seem fitting for a top-ranked player; I wonder how you climbed up the ranks."

Yamada Machiichi strongly protested her mixed mock and praise approach.

Not everyone had to be as excellent as her. In this game, luck and the method of clearing levels also played significant parts. His initial luck was A+, and combined with the props for increasing NPC favorability he stumbled upon in the apocalyptic world, he had piggybacked his way to rapid strength enhancement.

As long as one didn’t aim for a perfect pass, merely having a bit of familiarity with the game mechanics could solve various plot challenges easily. He wasn’t following an SSS-rated hidden line, after all.

"This isn’t just a small bug..." Yamada Machiichi muttered under his breath.

Luna withdrew her disdainful gaze from Yamada Machiichi and looked at Su Ming’an, who was being absorbed of his curses by Xiber’s tentacles, with eyes filled with respect.

"This must be... quite painful," she said.

Su Ming’an opened his eyes.

His face was very pale, like a corpse just pulled from water. The torment of curses, even with the tentacles’ purification, had left enduring mental scars.

Due to extreme fatigue and pain, he was barely able to walk now, needing the support of Xiber’s tentacles to move.

Enduring such curses would cause the body to crack and decay, coloring the whole body blood-red.

But soon, these spider-web-like wounds would rapidly heal under the wrapping of the tentacles. The cycle of breaking and healing equated to pain akin to mild metamorphosis.

Luna admired his resilience to endure all the way, distinctly different from Yamada who would complain about bleeding from his arm.

"Number One Player... you are truly relentless," she said, "you really didn’t have to go this far."

"No, it’s necessary. I must test the path to becoming a god," Su Ming’an wiped the slick fluid off his face—this was the downside of the tentacles, they often left him soaked.

He flicked his hand, "If no one becomes a god, I worry about an annihilation ending."

"..." Luna sighed, "Only you chose to take up this burden."
