Chapter 281: Chapter 91 The So-Called Divine_2

"This... should exist, right?" Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said uncertainly from the side.

"It most definitely exists," Long Xingtianxia stated with utter conviction, "Once I become the Lord of Nine Provinces and bestow Divine Enthronement, all our fallen brothers shall be reborn as divinities and return. By then, we immortals and humans shall gather and share the riches together. Won’t that be delightful?"

One had to admit, Long Xingtianxia had the skills to be a guild leader, with just that speech stirring up people’s passion, even Xiao Jie felt somewhat tempted.

Despite the suspicion of empty promises, the logic of the plan was sound, and it just might work.

However, his ambitions were far greater, and the whole Divine Enthronement thing always seemed a bit off to him.

Although ’immortal’ and ’divine’ sound like they are on the same level, immortals always seemed more free and at ease.

If the Divine Enthronement was of the kind in the Heavenly Court, being a Divine Officer or Land God among the 108 principal and subsidiary divinities wouldn’t be too attractive.

Of course, Xiao Jie wouldn’t refuse such an opportunity, considering that no one knows when bad luck might strike, and having Long Xingtianxia’s promise provided some hope.

Moreover, Long Xingtianxia telling him about this was clearly an attempt to win him over, and it would be somewhat ungrateful to refuse at this juncture.

"Hahaha, then I must thank the guild leader for his favor. Speaking of which, guild leader, how much do you know about this game’s Heavenly Court? When the time comes, can you appoint a higher caliber of divinity? It’d be much better to avoid always being stuck with Land or Mountain Gods. How about being one of the Four Heavenly Kings or the Nine Luminaries?"

Long Xingtianxia said speechlessly, "Brother, you’re really flattering me too much. The position of Lord of Nine Provinces isn’t even secure, and you’re already thinking about the Heavenly Court. Even if the game truly had a Heavenly Court, there would surely be an entity like the Jade Emperor in charge. How could they let a mere mortal king manage heavenly affairs? Being a Land or Mountain God is already not too shabby."

But speaking of which, this game’s Heavenly Court indeed hasn’t been revealed much. I’ve asked some NPCs, and they seem to have no knowledge of the existence of a Heavenly Court. The closest thing to the Heavenly Court would be the immortals from Gu Yun State, but with Gu Yun State shattered, those immortals have long since been without news - they might all be dead for all we know.

I’ve even asked some experts from the magic profession, and they don’t have a clue either,"

Xiao Jie thought to himself that those immortals were definitely not dead. When he was doing a quest with two immortals, their conversation hinted that the immortals of Gu Yun State were still around, just hidden away.

If he ever gained the ability to fly, he might go up and have a look.

But there was no need to tell Long Xingtianxia about this.

"Haha, I was just talking anyway. Thanks again, guild leader. Even being a Land or Mountain God isn’t bad. By the way, guild leader, regarding that Ancient Tomb, will the guild send people? Relying solely on the sub-branch might be a bit unreliable."

Long Xingtianxia replied, "The guild has a lot going on recently, and may not be able to spare people for the time being. You can decide whether to open the tomb now or delay it. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait, and later I can send a few from the magic profession to support you, which would make things much easier."

"Understood."

After Xiao Jie and Hidden Dragon Do Not Use left, there was an unspoken closeness between them. Although he had not yet become a core member, he was at least considered one of their own to some extent.

"Brother Qianlong, are you preparing to open the tomb?"

"No, it’s too dangerous. After careful consideration, if we act rashly, there’s a high chance of casualties. I don’t want another incident like Duan Zui’s to happen. Even with Divine Enthronement as a fallback, no one knows if our guild can ultimately rule. We must be cautious."

Hearing Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s grave tone, Xiao Jie could understand his feelings; he too had commanded raids and guild events before.

The psychological pressure of a misdirected command is immense when everyone’s hopes rest on one person.

And that’s just in playing a game. A failure means a resurrection and a restarted attempt, wasting nothing more than everyone’s time.

Now Hidden Dragon Do Not Use faced real casualties, where one poor decision could lead to a team wipe or heavy losses. Irresponsible individuals wouldn’t care, assuming you just go all in, but those carrying the smallest sense of responsibility would feel the tremendous pressure.

"Fair enough, then I’ll go level up on my own."

Xiao Jie totally understood Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s decision, but as soon as Hidden Dragon Do Not Use announced the decision in the group, some people were unhappy, particularly Salted Fish. He participated in two events and only got a blue weapon - that wasn’t acceptable.

He at least deserved a high-level cultivation technique.

Especially considering the treasures within the Ancient Tomb must be exceptionally valuable, making him exceedingly envious.

Just the two spirit stone seals needed to open the door cost one to two million, and by normal logic, the contents of the Ancient Tomb should be worth many times that amount.

Salted Fish: Guild leader, there’s no need to be so overly cautious, right? Who isn’t all-in playing this game? Is such caution necessary?

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: I don’t care about others throwing caution to the wind, but as a Sub-Branch Leader, I must be responsible for my members. The risk of opening the Ancient Tomb is too great, so it has been decided. Wait for the guild to resolve the current issues, then they will send support, and we will revisit the idea of opening the tomb.

Salted Fish: Leader, that’s not right. If the guild sends people, won’t all the good stuff go to them? What’s left for us in the sub-branch?

Besides, Luoyang Plain is just an early-to-mid game area; how dangerous can that Ancient Tomb be?

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: That’s the decision. If you wish to go, you may do so on your own.

Salted Fish: Damn it, I’ll do it myself, then. I’ll organize my own team to open the tomb. When the good loot comes out, don’t you dare be jealous.

Xiao Jie initially thought Salted Fish was just blowing off steam, but minutes later, his QQ messenger started pinging.

It was a private message from Salted Fish.

Salted Fish: Feng my bro, join the group number. Got something to discuss.

Xiao Jie had a hunch about what it might be, but his rational mind doubted it could actually happen. Could this guy actually be that reckless?

Upon joining the group, he sighed when he saw its members. This kid really was planning it.

The group had over thirty members, all from the outer circle of the Dragon Soaring Knights’ Luoyang Branch, with Salted Fish, Dida La, as the admin.

System: You have been granted admin privileges.

Well, now he was too.

Salted Fish: Brothers, you all know what happened this morning. We found an Ancient Tomb deep in the mine, and it has ancient Immortal seals on it. I need not go into detail about the potential treasures inside. Who’s interested in pulling off a big heist!
