Chapter 777 - Gold World
Unfolding in Chapter 777 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again": After waiting for a few minutes, a man and a woman emerged from the corner... Keep reading!
After waiting for a few minutes, a man and a woman emerged from the corner of the ruins.Both were very young, the man appeared calm and seemed to harbor no hostility, yet the woman at his side was on high alert, her hands conjuring some kind of power combined of death and Spiritual Energy, and she had already locked onto Lu Hong, ready to attack at any moment.
The man patted his companion on the shoulder, "Relax, heās not from the Yin Demons."
"But heās not from our world either." The woman remained highly vigilant, staring intently at Lu Hong.
Seeing that he couldnāt persuade the other, the man gave a wry smile and called out to Lu Hong, "Iām He Hetai, this is my sister, He Qianrou. May I ask, friend across, which world do you come from?"
"Lu Hong, from Star Sea, have you heard of it?"
"Star Sea? Arenāt you being attacked by the Yin Demons?"
"You know about that?"
He Hetai nodded, "This has been going on for quite some time. The Yin Demonsā target was always your Star Sea, and my Shining Light World just got caught in the middle."
Having exchanged identities, the man lowered his guard even further and walked up to Lu Hong, pointing at a nearby stone, "Come, letās sit down and talk."
Lu Hong nodded, then turned to look at He Qianrou who still stood in place, still on guard, "Your sister..."
"Donāt mind her, sheās always been kind of neurotic." He Hetai laughed, then added, "Has your Star Sea also been destroyed by the Yin Demons?"
"No, itās still intact."
"So, how did you end up in my Shining Light World?"
"I repelled the Yin Demon army, so I wandered over here."
"Repelled them?!" He Hetaiās eyes widened, then he jumped off the stone and backed away several steps, wary of Lu Hong, "Look, friend, youāre not very good at making up stories."
"Iām not lying to you, although I havenāt reached the God Realm, I can summon some Divine Power, and you know what the Yin Demons fear."
Hearing this, He Hetai breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked, "What about the Heavenly Gods of the Yin Demons?"
"Theyāre being restrained by the Heavenly Gods of my Star Sea and werenāt with the army."
After a long time, He Hetai nodded, "Alright, Iāll provisionally believe what you said, but I canāt treat you as a visitor, I hope you understand."
"Understood, Iām just passing through, curious about this world. Iāll leave in a bit and wonāt disturb you."
"Then have a look around for yourself, this place has almost turned into ruins, and thereās nothing of value left."
He Hetai turned around to leave, but Lu Hong called out to him, "Brother Tai, I have some questions to ask, can you enlighten me?"
He Hetai nodded, "Iāll tell you what I can."
"How did the Yin Demons destroy your Shining Light World?"
Lu Hongās question was rather direct, He Hetai rolled his eyes but still answered, "It happened long ago, I learned it from my ancestors. Itās said that thousands of years ago, our Heavenly God sensed a threat from the depth of All Heavens, thus he commanded our entire race to defend the portal. The Yin Demons found our Shining Light World on their way to Star Sea, and thus the great battle began.
Our forebears resisted for three years but ultimately lost. All realms were rampaged by the Yin Demons, countless resources were plundered, and all creatures were slaughtered, plunging our Shining Light World into deathly silence."
"May I audaciously ask, you are... "
He Hetai smiled slightly, "Although the Yin Demons ravaged my Shining Light World, there were always places they missed, like some remote corners, and... deep underground."
Lu Hong nodded, "Thank you for sharing. Now that the Yin Demons have been repelled, you should consider coming out of Shining Light to explore this vast world of the All Heavens."
Having said this, Lu Hong stood up to say goodbye.
Under the watchful gaze of the siblings, Lu Hong vanished into the horizon.
Once Lu Hong had departed, He Qianrou finally withdrew her power and rotated her aching arm, "Brother, why did you tell him everything? What if heās a spy sent by the Yin demons?"
"Do you really think the Yin demons would care about small fry like us?" He Hetai looked solemn, "Heās definitely not a lackey for the Yin demons. On the contrary, what he said could all be true. The Yin demons indeed were defeated on the ancient path, and this is our chance to leave Cheng Guang and find a way to survive!"
"Why should we leave our homeland?" He Qianrou asked puzzled, "Since the Yin demons have retreated, canāt we simply return to the surface and rebuild our tribe?"
"Rebuild?" He Hetai gave a bitter smile and sighed, "With no resources and an air filled with death, how could our tribe possibly thrive? Donāt you understand why our tribe has such short lifespans?"
Indeed, in a world filled with the aura of death, where even the spiritual power drawn is laced with a strong scent of demise, how could living beings enjoy long lives?
It was precisely this point that Lu Hong had realized, which is why he kindly reminded them to leave Cheng Guang and seek a new home.
From He Hetaiās words, Lu Hong also knew about the Yin demonsā method of destroying a world, which essentially mirrored the ruthless invasions akin to bandits: kill, plunder, burn.
Upon realizing this, Lu Hongās resolve to eradicate the Yin demons and protect the Star Sea became even stronger.
Stepping out of the lifeless world of Cheng Guang, Lu Hong found even breathing became much smoother.
Following the ancient path, deep in the mountains, Lu Hong discovered an extremely concealed entrance, so small that without some luck, it would be utterly hidden.
The narrow entrance, nestled inside a tiny cave, allowed only one person to enter at a time.
Lu Hong didnāt dare to enter rashly. After a long investigation, ensuring there were no ambushes hidden behind the portal, he finally entered.
Upon entering this realm, a dense Earth Element hit him in the face.
The next moment, a Heavenly Godās will landed on Lu Hong, "Outsider, get out of my world!"
The voice boomed like thunder, exploding beside Lu Hongās ear.
Damn, this is actually a world that hasnāt been destroyed by the Yin demons!
"My name is Lu Hong, from the Star Sea realm. I discovered this place unintentionally, I hope the Heavenly God will not blame me!"
"Star Sea?" Hearing the name, the attitude of the Heavenly God softened somewhat, the Earth Element forming a semblance of an elderly figure who looked Lu Hong up and down before speaking, "You come from the Star Sea? As far as I know, isnāt your Star Sea currently being attacked by the Yin demons?"
Lu Hong bowed to the figure, "I was fortunate enough to obtain some Divine Power and managed to repel those Yin demons, which is why I am roaming the ancient path of the heavens and came here."
"The mighty army of the Yin demons was repelled by you alone? Were there no Yin Gods to stop you?"
"The Heavenly God of the Yin demons was restrained by our Star Sea God, so there was no Heavenly God stationed within their ranks."
"I see, it must have been Gui He the War God, right?" Clearly, Gui Heās power was well-known in many worlds.
"You know him?"
"Heard of him, solely with his wife, both being Heavenly Gods, blocking three hundred Yin Gods from the Yin demons for tens of thousands of years, truly admirable." Saying this, the Heavenly God continued, "You can call me Lai Feng Heavenly God. As a guest from the Star Sea realm, you should sit a while in my Golden realm."
With that, the Earth Element beneath Lu Hongās feet surged and formed a splendid carriage that transported Lu Hong through layers of dimensions to the heart of the Golden realm, the Golden City.
With the arrival of Lai Feng Heavenly God, all the citizens of the Golden City gathered beneath the golden tower in the city center and knelt in worship.
Lai Feng raised his hand to bestow Divine Light, baptizing his devout followers.
After the ceremony ended, Lai Feng smiled and asked Lu Hong, "What do you think of my Golden realm?"
"Itās magnificent."
To Lu Hongās response, Lai Feng smiled, "Just save the compliments, I know your Star Sea is vast, almost a hundred times the size of my Golden realm, and it even has more top-tier Heavenly Gods. Among the myriad worlds in the heavens, there are few who can compete with your Star Sea. Though my Golden realm is small, it is serene. No racial strife, no power struggles among gods, itās so insignificant that even the Yin demons wouldnāt give it a glance."
