Yang Qizhou felt a bit anxious.
[Holy Redemption] equals ’Compulsory Forgiveness’, [Circle of Friendliness] equals ’I am your best friend’. When these two effects are combined, perhaps they truly can eliminate the hostility of the Sky Blue Spear.
"This has to work!"
The text is refreshing.
...
...
"The earth suddenly quakes violently, the sky trembles. The gray-white fog shrouding the North Realm Abyss churns wildly, faintly revealing the enraged roar of a high-ranking Abyss Old God from the depths. It is utterly terrifying, piercing, and indescribable."
"But you pay no mind to all of it, your eyes fixed unwaveringly on the Sky Blue Spear before you. The thousand-ter-tall spear emits a verdant glow, with grass and trees around it growing rapidly. Faint visions of tigers, lions, deer, rabbits, and other creatures manifest amidst the gray-white fog. Its aura feels lofty, ancient, and boundless, as if it is one of the pillars holding up the universe."
"This divine artifact left behind by the King of Nature is awakening from eternal slumber."
"At that mont, the powers of [Holy Redemption] and [Circle of Friendliness] erupt forth, casting their effects upon the Sky Blue Spear."
"For now, it seems like there’s no visible hostility. Could it be that these two Divine Descent Sacrificial Objects of the King of Virtue actually worked?"
"You think to yourself, impatiently rushing to the colossal spear before placing your palm upon it. A thought rises within you: with the goddess’ assistance, the Wings of Greed have already been slain by you. If you manage to obtain the Sky Blue Spear, wouldn’t you truly beco the Man of Destiny sung by Traveling Poets, activated from the first Truth Fragnt?"
"But your joy is short-lived."
"You clearly feel the suppression stemming from its ’level’. The effects of [Circle of Friendliness] and [Holy Redemption] only last a fleeting mont before being crushed by the overwhelming Power of Nature."
"Afterward, you sense the familiar and intense hostility radiating from the Sky Blue Spear."
"Before you have ti to react, the terrifying Power of Nature shreds you apart. Your limbs are torn into eighteen pieces, your organs spill onto the ground, and grass and trees grow frenetically from your fragnted flesh."
"You died."
...
...
As expected, it didn’t work. Yang Qizhou sighed inwardly.
The effects of [Circle of Friendliness] and [Holy Redemption] are terrifying, as evidenced by previous scenes. However, the Sky Blue Spear, as a divine artifact left by the King of Nature, is at least legendary tier, possibly beyond.
The disparity in levels cannot be bridged by symbols, concepts, or authority. That these two Divine Descent Sacrificial Objects from the King of Virtue could not sway the Sky Blue Spear was unsurprising.
"If the Sky Blue Spear were so easily obtained, it wouldn’t be the divine artifact left by the King of Nature, used to seal the Endless Abyss."
This thought helped Yang Qizhou’s initial disappointnt dissolve quickly.
Next ca the familiar death sequence.
What surprised Yang Qizhou slightly, however, was that this ti, the secretive presence watching from the River of Death had vanished, and the unknown ravings were silent.
Did the unknown god fail in its confrontation during the battle involving the River of Death, or had it deed the delivery of the deactivation formula for the Hidden God’s Clothes sufficient?
Yang Qizhou couldn’t determine this for now and shifted his focus to the current storyline.
...
...
"The ever-dying and ever-reviving explorer, you’ve yet again arrived at the edge of the River of Death."
"The flicker of the protective fla remains, and the crow’s eerie cries echo in your mind. So, explorer, will you rewrite the outco of your death using the blessing of destiny or utilize the powers of the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune to return to the mont of your last choice?"
Normal revival and ti loop revival aren’t truly choices, Yang Qizhou had long figured that out.
As for his actual decision,
Yang Qizhou pondered for a mont before deciding on ’normal revival’. Additionally, he utilized the False Road Marker to have his ga character revive outside of the Extre Cold Lake.
"This is a test to gauge just how strong the Sky Blue Spear’s hostility toward my character really is."
Soon, the ga text refreshed again.
"You used the False Road Marker, the protective fla flickered as you altered the outco of your death. You awakened 300 ters outside the Bright Outpost, outside the North Realm Abyss."
"You quickly activated the Hidden God’s Clothes."
"You entered a Hidden state, concealing your Wizard aura."
"Recalling the experience of being torn apart by the Sky Blue Spear, you shuddered with dread and couldn’t help but grumble... Just how deep is this grudge against ? Even with [Holy Redemption] and [Circle of Friendliness], its hostility couldn’t be erased. I honestly have no idea what I did to earn such hatred."
"You prepare to leave."
"But at that exact mont, you witness a green pillar of divine light pierce skyward. The thick natural aura causes grass and trees to grow uncontrollably, fills all beasts with elation, and even completely suppresses the gray-white fog seeping out from the Endless Abyss."
"Once again, you feel the familiar sensation of intense hostility—that of the Sky Blue Spear."
"Your body turns ice-cold, your heart pounds with fear. You cannot fathom what you did to anger the King of Nature so gravely. Even having revived far from the North Realm Abyss, the pursuit continues relentlessly."
"As the thought crosses your mind, a flash of green catches your eye. Grass and trees start to grow wildly from your body, the soles of your feet transform into tree roots that anchor into the ground, and you beco a tree."
"You died."
Apparently, it’s impossible?
Adjusting his posture on the couch, Yang Qizhou sighed inwardly.
The reason he hadn’t imdiately activated the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune to rewind ti to his last choice was to test whether the awakened Sky Blue Spear would remain confined to the Extre Cold Lake or persistently hunt his character.
This distinction was significant,
If it only remained at the Extre Cold Lake, then its awakening wouldn’t matter. It could be ignored, and in perilous situations, perhaps even used as a tool to escape traps.
However, constant pursuit by the Sky Blue Spear wouldn’t be acceptable—it would be a dreadful experience.
"As long as the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s powers are used to rewind ti to the last choice, the Sky Blue Spear will return to its dormant state, and its relentless pursuit will cease to be a concern."
"But before all that,"
"The free-ride phase can’t be skipped, obviously."
With a devious grin, Yang Qizhou opened the Destiny Store. After so deliberation, he settled on [Destiny Fire Bottle], the hottest seller and easiest to unload. Without hesitation, he spent all his current 13,060 Old Sacrifices to purchase [Destiny Fire Bottle] *130.
Total Destiny Fire Bottles: *237.
"If each Destiny Fire Bottle sells for 80 Old Sacrifices, then 237 bottles would yield 18,960 Old Sacrifices. Add my original 13,000 Old Sacrifices, hahahaha, wouldn’t that get to 30,000 Old Sacrifices, enough for the God of Victory to hold more symbols?"
"Free-Ride Dark Crow, forever the MVP."
Yang Qizhou already envisioned a bright and promising future from his path of freeloading, grinning from ear to ear.
With over 200 Destiny Fire Bottles in hand, clearly more than he could ever use, he decided to list them at the Destiny Exchange to cash out sooner rather than later.
"Let’s start by listing 200 bottles. As for the price, 50 is too cheap; last ti they sold out instantly at that price—an absolute loss. This ti, I’ll raise the price,"
"Let’s go with... 80 Old Sacrifices per bottle."
The transaction was quickly completed. Yang Qizhou no longer dwelled on it and refocused on the ga.
...
...
"The crow’s eerie cries echo in your mind. The scene before you warps, blurs, and shatters rapidly."
"When you open your eyes, you find yourself back on the outskirts of Asgard."
Yang Qizhou didn’t refresh the text imdiately but opened the item interface instead, seeing the 13,060 Old Sacrifices calmly lying there. A smile crept onto his face.
Free-Ride Dark Crow never disappoints.
As his fingers tapped on the screen, the text refreshed again.
"You recall being consecutively killed twice by the Sky Blue Spear, feeling speechless, as if calamity had struck you out of nowhere."
"Having recently guided the God of Victory into becoming a true Wizard, only for the Sky Blue Spear to harshly school you, the explorer found themselves once again at destiny’s crossroads."
"So, will you change your mind and head to Fire Stealing Village to try communicating with the Mysterious Shadow to find a thod to purge the Star Hiding Compass’ contamination?"
"Or will you tempt fate once more and venture to the North Realm Abyss?"
"Please make your choice."
You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You must be doing this on purpose. Unless soone’s brain had malfunctioned, who would pick option 2? Returning to provoke that irritable Sky Blue Spear would be sheer idiocy.
Frustrated, Yang Qizhou chose ’option 1’.
...
...
"You reason that returning to Fire Stealing Village is more aningful than venturing into the North Realm Abyss. After all, the Mysterious Shadow resides there, and it might hold the ans to cleanse the Star Hiding Compass of the Lord of Night’s contamination. Lena is also waiting for you to rescue her there."
"Of course, you would vehently deny fear of the irritable Sky Blue Spear being your motivation."
"First, you returned to the Truth Hall and bullied Little Seventeen for a while before using the Ti-Space Gate’s function to teleport back to the Original Land."
"Opening your eyes in the wilderness outside Fire Stealing Village, you see the Mysterious Shadow—a mass of countless eyes, replacing part of the day with night within its domain."
"A sudden thought strikes you... I wonder if the shepherded God of Victory could take on this Night Favored."
"Shall we give it a try?"
