Chapter 140: Chapter 94 A Good News and a Bad News (Thanks to USTRyan for the 10,000 rewards!)_2

"Either, you harbor ulterior motives towards me, or, you have a special relationship with me."

"You exist only at the edge of my senses, like a gentle breeze that arrives and departs swiftly."

"Perhaps every hundred years, I hear your voice just once.

I thought maybe I was sick or hallucinating."

"However," Ningtuo looked at Qi Yuan intently, "I am not ill, you truly exist."

"I didn’t expect it, you really do exist!" Ningtuo’s gaze towards Qi Yuan was extremely complicated, filled with fear, wariness, affection, and caution.

Many thoughts ran through Qi Yuan’s mind after hearing these words.

He first heard Ningtuo’s voice three months ago.

However, Ningtuo claimed centuries, even millennia, have passed in this world.

Is there a big gap in time?

"I have a superpower, sometimes I can hear others speak.

If I heard it, I might respond to you sometimes," Qi Yuan half-jokey, half-serious.

Anyway, it’s probably impossible to explain clearly to an NPC.

"Really?" Ningtuo giggled, "You have the patience to endure nearly three thousand years, never coming to see me, yet sometimes you appear beside me,

Your restraint is indeed intriguing.

But it doesn’t matter, because now you’re here with me.

In that case, everything will be within my control."

"I will seal your memories, and then..." Ningtuo licks her lips, appearing even more charming, "when you break out of the shell, you’ll call me ’Mom’."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan fell silent.

He only spoke after a long time.

"You NPCs sure play elaborate games."

Ningtuo didn’t completely understand Qi Yuan’s words, but she didn’t mind.

There were many things Qi Yuan said that she didn’t understand before.

"From now on, you’ll be my canary."

"My little canary."

As she spoke, she approached Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan looked at Ningtuo: "See you!"

He directly logged out.

Ningtuo in the subterranean palace was confused: "Where did he go?"

A flash of panic crossed her eyes, and then she calmed down: "Did he fall asleep?"

North, the Blood Sea.

A vast ocean.

Within it, uncountable demonic creatures were brewing.

Suddenly, the Blood Sea churned as a gigantic demonic alligator stirred an enormous wave, revealing its massive head.

The several masters sitting in the North Blood Sea quickly rose into the air: "Greetings to the Supreme Demonic Alligator!"

The Demonic Alligator opened its mouth, letting the blood water of the sea flow into its colossal body.

"The Venerable has ordered, the celestial omen has warned, a heavenly demon has been born.

The execution of the heavenly demon must not be delayed!"

A questioned expression showed on one master’s face: "What is the distinct feature of this heavenly demon?"

"Blood demon!" As the Demonic Alligator finished, it submerged back into the Blood Sea.

After a moment, the water surface of the Blood Sea finally calmed.

Doubt reflected in the eyes of the several masters who guarded the Blood Sea in the North.

"What does this ’Blood Demon’ mean?"

"Is it related to the demonic creatures?"

The masters on the scene kept speculating.

Regrettably, they did not dare to ask the Supreme Demonic Alligator, and they even less dared to disturb the Venerable who laid deep within the Blood Sea.

The Venerable was beyond their understanding.

They feared his power but not his virtue.

...

In the following days, Qi Yuan occasionally logged into the game.

But sadly, he was trapped within a demonic creature’s egg.

He can’t play the game at all.

It was frustrating.

Before even entering the game properly, he was caught by an NPC. It was rather embarrassing.

However, over these few days, he obtained a lot of critical information.

The flow of time in the game world was different from that in the Vast Wave Realm.

For every day in the Vast Wave Realm, nearly ten years passed in the game world.

Through Ningtuo, he also learned about the background of the game world.

The game world was called Liu Feng Realm.

His most vital piece of information was... those who completed their lifespans in Liu Feng Realm... would turn into demonic creatures.

It was eerily similar to the outer realm evil demons that he encountered in the Land of the Forsaken.

Qi Yuan even thought that those outer realm evil demons might have come from the Liu Feng Realm.

If it was true, could he possibly go back to the Wangyue Continent using the original passage that the outer realm evil demons used to reach the Land of the Forsaken?

The Liu Feng Realm of today has been divided into the North and the South.

The monks in the South were called ’Demon Exterminators.’

The laws in the South stipulate that monks must die before their time limit arrives to prevent the birth of demonic creatures.

If a demonic creature does appear, the monks from the South would also set out to exterminate them.

The laws in the North do not restrict eminent monks. If their lifespan is finished, then it is finished. If a demonic creature is born, then it is born.

It is due to these differing laws that the North and South have significant disparities.

In the South, commoners can live comfortably, yet every year, numerous monks escape to the North.

In the North, there is hardly any room for commoners to survive. If commoners want to stay alive, they must serve the monks as slaves.

North and South are hostile towards each other, it’s a deadly grudge match.

A hundred years ago, the decision-contest of North and South was signed.

A battle deciding the fate of the South and North is about to happen.

An army of 108,000 cities has been stationed at Central Plains.

These 108,000 cities, supported by the Grand Sects and nations of the South, were guarded by the deployed monks.

The 108,000 cities are about to confront the demonic army "commanded" by the seventeen kings from the North.

If these 108,000 cities were destroyed, all of the South would fall.

All of the South would be covered by the North.

If the demonic army "commanded" by seventeen kings fail, the North would return to the South. Together, they would face the big disaster brought by the demonic creatures.

As of now, the decision-contest has been going on for more than twenty years.

The South’s battle situation has been dire.

"In a supernatural world where ordinary people are merely cannon fodder, the North will inevitably overpower the South."
