Chapter 622: Chapter 396: “Just feels like it might be a bit cruel.”_3 Chapter 622: Chapter 396: “Just feels like it might be a bit cruel.”_3 “Unlike in the ga of ascension where you can still go to hell upon death, or even if you fall into the depths of hell, you can use your identity as a Seed Player to climb back out again,”
“there, when you die, it’s truly the end.”
“Thus, over the years, not a single leader from the Ninefold Planet dared to ascend first to the Tenfold Planet. Jiang Chenglu was the first, which is why the ga of ascension offered so many rewards on the day of his ascension—it’s all to encourage others to hasten their own ascensions.”
“But clearly, these leaders from the Ninefold Planets are much more timid than the ga of ascension had anticipated. So many days have passed, and still, only the Mo Clan led by Jiang Chenglu has taken that step.”
“Dare not…”
Chen Yi’s eyes widened in shock, and his mouth slowly fell open.
This was the first ti he had heard such a claim.
So, the reason the Ninefold Planets hadn’t ascended to the Tenfold was not because they couldn’t or didn’t have the ability, but simply because they didn’t dare?
Jiang Chenglu…
From his brief interaction with Jiang Chenglu, Chen Yi could tell that the man indeed had the courage.
“No, that’s not right.”
Chen Yi quickly ca to his senses, “After Jiang Chenglu’s ascension, so players from the Ninefold Planets sent people to ask about the thods to ascend to the Tenfold.”
“Tsk.”
Santa Claus couldn’t help but laugh: “Those must be either the higher-ups making a show of it, or the underlings acting without knowledge. How to ascend to the Tenfold Planet is sothing no one understands better than those higher-ups.”
“It doesn’t even take much effort.”
“Just a click of confirmation is all it takes.”
“How is Jiang Chenglu faring now, out there?” Tuberculosis Rabbit broke the silence by asking a question that concerned everyone.
“Um…”
After so hesitation, Santa Claus finally spoke, “I’m really not supposed to say this, but the situation doesn’t look too good. If no new Tenfold Planets erge to fill the ranks, Jiang Chenglu and his people will likely be wiped out soon.”
As these words hung in the air,
Chen Yi and the others fell into a complex silence, no one speaking.
“That being the case,”
Chen Yi paused before speaking again, “then why did Jiang Chenglu make a point of coming to see before he left, only to deliberately die at my hand? I thought he was trying to complete so kind of mission.”
“I’m not sure about that.”
Santa Claus shook his head, “To be honest, I don’t understand much myself. As I said at the start, I’m just a dead man, having died a long ti ago, even before the ga of ascension began.”
“I’m rely a lingering soul, barely holding on and making my final contribution.”
“If the ga of ascension had ended successfully before my death, I might have had a chance at reincarnation.”
“But if during the execution of my tasks, I happen to be killed by a player who has suddenly beco powerful, then I will completely dissipate in this universe.”
As he said this,
Santa Claus looked towards Chen Yi with a sowhat resentful gaze; clearly, he was suggesting that the player who had beco suddenly powerful was none other than Chen Yi himself.
…
…
More than an hour passed.
Chen Yi stood up and parted ways with Santa Claus: “I still have use for the moose, so I won’t be returning it to you just yet.”
“It’s all right.”
Santa Claus looked sentintally at the little moose nuzzling his right hand, “This moose has always been a loner. I even gave it a na a long ti ago, but it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten what it was.”
“All the moose love my carrots.”
“Except him.”
“He’d rather eat other moose’s droppings than my carrots.”
“Without this little moose, I have to spend a lot of ti every day clearing up the other moose’s excrent. To tell you the truth, it’s indeed inconvenient, but since we’re friends, I certainly wouldn’t take what brings you joy. I’m giving the moose to you.”
“Take good care of him.”
“This little guy is quite sentient.”
“Oh, by the way,”
Chen Yi suddenly rembered sothing and spoke up, “You said earlier that only the dead can travel back through the Tiline. If this moose ca with you, is it alive or dead?”
“Of course, it’s dead,”
Santa Claus nodded as if it were obvious, “It died a long ti ago, way before the ga of ascension arrived. Back then, I had already begun preparing for my role as Santa Claus, but as I had no moose, I had to capture them from all over the universe.”
“First, I prepared so moose carcasses.”
“Then I captured so souls from the universe and stuffed them in. If I rember correctly, the forr identity of this little moose seed to be a Star Space Giant Crocodile.”
“It’s strange, do Star Space Giant Crocodiles have a habit of eating dung?”
With that,
Santa Claus sat on his sleigh and waved to Chen Yi and the others, “We’ll et again if fate allows, I’ve got to deliver presents, that’s my duty. Maybe if the ga of ascension ends successfully one day, I can be reborn and start a new romance.”
“Ah, it’s been so long since I’ve been in love.”
“I’ve almost forgotten the taste of persimmons.”
“I’m envious of sweet, tender, fragrant love like yours.”
“I’m off!”
With that,
Santa Claus didn’t linger but disappeared from everyone’s sight.
…
After Santa Claus left, Chen Yi and the others reflected on the conversation they had just had.
After a long while,
Tuberculosis Rabbit spoke up with a strange expression, “It feels like we heard a lot, but after summing it all up, it seems like there wasn’t much at all.”
