Chapter 692: Chapter 404 The Outrageous Value of Dolls!_2

During this year, it seemed that everything was purely based on his own actions. Carrying the hopes of the entire village, such a big secret was not shared with others; he hid it as much as possible.

He appeared to be quite stable.

However,

to stand up in this Present World, what was needed wasn’t stability, but risk.

Relying on oneself alone wouldn’t work.

Moving carefully, strategizing all around… blending among the top forces, valuable to oneself, becoming an unseen spy with a grand secret, was the way to reap enormous benefits.

This path,

had proven successful before, because it was a copy of Old Huang.

Old Huang, though a Priest who swore allegiance and pure faith to the Gods, always managed to escape unscathed.

However,

a doll didn’t seem suitable.

It needed a guiding principle.

“It seems my approach is correct,” Su Qi shared all sorts of things with it, not just igniting its disbelief and scoffing.

Such ‘candidness’ was planting a seed in its heart.

Waiting for this seed to sprout gradually during the journey, until it voluntarily spoke up, seeking help.

Su Qi had already considered Xiao Ou a new member of The Hustlers Sect, although it disagreed, he had agreed.

This time, he really struck gold.

Su Qi glanced at the doll.

Who could have thought that the trace that baffled countless Gods would find its breakthrough in such a small entity.

This guy knew how dangerous it would be if exposed, so it was desperately hiding, and ordinary people truly couldn’t catch it.

If it weren’t for his own outrageous cheats, he might not have been able to grasp its vital point.

The group continued forward, flying swiftly through mid-air.

The world was vast, and even though the journey was filled with various dangers, it wasn’t a problem for them.

Merely after three days and nights, they had already crossed most of the world, approaching Demon Land.

Moreover, they had not stopped at any Survivor Town along the way.

Although for most people, enduring such travel wasn’t much, it was tough on Lu Fan and Rab.

They could fly, but only for short distances and durations; such prolonged travel almost made them cry.

Fortunately, in the end, An Nan gave them each a Wind Mark, just barely keeping up with the group.

Chenxing’s eyes slightly shifted forward, his calm gaze filled with depth:

“Just ahead is one of the top ten frontline cities near Demon Land; we’ll rest there first, then go challenge for a Holy Artifact.”

“Challenge?” An Nan caught the word, “Aren’t most Holy Artifacts scattered and hidden outside…”

“Those are Fragments,” Chenxing calmly said, “and they are ordinary Holy Artifacts, while High-level Holy Artifacts are in Demon Land, held by some rule or high-level Demon. To obtain them… one must challenge the rule or the Demon.”

“I see.” An Nan nodded thoughtfully, gathering as much information as possible now.

Fortunately, Chenxing knew he was unfamiliar with the area and proactively shared many things without concealment.

“Anyway, we’ll head straight into the city, but Brother An, since it’s your first time here, there are many things you’re unfamiliar with, I need to tell you a few things,” Chenxing gently said:

“With our identities, we naturally don’t need to fear most people, yet there are still quite a few rival entities, perhaps all gathered into an alliance, preparing for future events.”

“So, inevitable conflicts and troubles will arise, if we really encounter them…”

An Nan furrowed his brow, “Avoid temporarily?”

“No.”

Chenxing sneered, “Naturally, we fight! The path of the mighty knows no retreat!”

What a sharp edge!

These Heavenly Prides, each extraordinary, none willing to step back, facing any battle undaunted.

“They truly possess the might of the strong,” Luo Shenfu couldn’t help but exclaim: “Once they step into Sequence 6, they might immediately manifest Spiritual Force, quite impressive.”

Spiritual Force.

It was akin to an imposing aura, naturally manifested only by the true powerhouses; unlinked directly to Spiritual Energy, Strength, or Cultivation.

Previously, in the space at the singularity, including Otto, everyone possessed remarkable Spiritual Force.

Of course, Spiritual Force only becomes apparent when one steps into Sequence 6, and most people almost lack it.

“Is that so?”

Su Qi stroked his chin, “But why do I find this kind of street fight, where one must determine a victor, rather childish?”

“…”

What was a proper discourse of a powerhouse, turned bizarre when it came out of your mouth.

Luo Shenfu gently said, “A powerhouse’s battle is essentially a collision of sequences, strength, etc., not just about winning or losing but attracting countless attentions. Prestige will increase, and deterrence becomes essential for a powerhouse. If you reach the point of establishing a shrine, prestige will have boundless wonders for you.”

Su Qi, “Is that the way it is?”

And from what he knew, prestige and influence were like a stepped concept, deeper still should be the Power of Faith.

And all of this.

Is closely related to traces.

Thus, it wasn’t surprising that each God desired to establish shrines and churches, revealing Miracles now and then, as this was also a method to increase traces.

However.

This was Su Qi’s way of simplifying the complex, and he believed all this wasn’t so simple, much like how shrines and the Power of Faith mattered greatly to countless powerhouses. It surely wasn’t just about traces.

Perhaps… it was related to the sequence path or even becoming a deity.

At this moment.

They had already seen the City, which before its collapse was a normal world, with regular levels of technological and social development.

The City before them, though slightly run-down, with ruins around its perimeter, could still be considered prosperous, with its vast, elaborate billboards and the nightlife of its streets, the grandeur of its buildings indicating its former luxury.

However.

Now, this City had become the front line against the Monsters.

“Let’s go.”

Chenxing had already entered the City, the thin light curtain outside did not stop them from entering, but only blocked the Pollution.

“To my base.”

These Divine Sons naturally had their own corners in the City, and other subordinates were stationed here as well.

Ensuring various resource supplies for the Divine Sons, support, etc.

Thus, to the ordinary people witnessing this scene, it would only invoke despair, as if no matter what methods or efforts, they could not compete with the powerful.

As Chenxing entered, a few people carrying gourds had already come out to greet him.

“Young Master!”

“How’s the situation now?” Chenxing asked indifferently.

“According to our probe, a large number of Divine Sons, Heavenly Prides, and spokespeople of major forces have been summoned by the God’s Son and have formed different groups.”

“Whether these groups have alliances, whether they are friends or foes, remains to be discussed. Furthermore, numerous top-tier powerhouses and massive families of large Boundaries are also contacting them.”

“Understood.”

Chenxing looked at An Nan calmly, “Brother An, now you understand the importance of choosing sides, as we discussed earlier.”

“The pyramid is a very interesting structure, a single movement at the top will pull everyone at the bottom into motion.”

Chenxing nodded slightly, “This world always revolves around the pyramid’s apex.”

An Nan nodded slowly, “I understand, from top to bottom, everyone is forced to choose sides, otherwise, they won’t even qualify to participate.”

As the God’s Son calls, Divine Sons, Young Masters, and top-tier forces respond, major powers likewise select their positions. As these forces make a move, many more adventurers will also follow these forces for a chance at their share of the spoils.

This is the cruel reality of the pyramid.

Those who wish to escape the pyramid will be crushed to dust, like pebbles among stones.

“High-level Holy Artifact…”

It wasn’t there.

But this was just a speculation.

Thus.
