Chapter 900: Chapter 435 Severe Cat Slave Caesar

[Under Evans’s narration, you learned of a secret that occurred a millennium ago.]

[A millennium ago, Evans was still the most capable and trusted guard by Caesar’s side. However, after Caesar proclaimed himself emperor, his brutal actions had already left Evans, a faithful follower of the Desert Goddess, disheartened and even regretful of his military campaigns for him.]

[It was at this time that Evans received a shortsword gifted by a Mysterious Man, known as ’Desert Guardian,’ a Divine Artifact passed down from the Desert Goddess. Utilizing his status as a personal guard, he was given a chance to assassinate Caesar at close range.]

[Everything proceeded according to plan, but at the last moment, as he was about to stab the drunk Caesar in the heart, Evans hesitated. The culture of loyalty and integrity instilled in him from birth caused him to falter momentarily. If he struck this blow, he would forever bear the infamy of a ’Slayer of Sovereign.’]

And it was this moment of indecision that caused him to miss his only chance, as Caesar, already possessing Divine Power, would not allow Evans a second opportunity to strike...]

["This time, I won’t hesitate!" Evans assured the Bard with a resolute gaze, "I’ve come to understand that my loyalty lies not with any ruler of this land, but with the Desert Goddess herself. I will heed the Goddess’s command, sacrifice my life if need be, protect the desert, and personally slay anyone who dares to harm this land!"]

[The Bard looked at Evans and nodded in approval of his pledge with a Smile.]

"So it is..."

Mu You sighed. It seemed like the false Divine Lamp atop the previous platform was not meant for him, but a test set by the Lamp God for Evans.

At that time, in their understanding, that Divine Lamp was the sole hope for Caesar’s resurrection. If Evans had hesitated in any way in handling the Divine Lamp, it would indicate that he might still show mercy towards Caesar.

Confirming this was crucial, for to deal with Caesar they would first need to open the Realm of the Lamp God, which was no trivial matter. To drive the knife into the heart of a Caesar who now had a divine body, Evans would likely have only one chance to act, without any room for hesitation.

Fortunately, Evans’s actions were impeccable in destroying the Divine Lamp, leaving the Lamp God with no faults to pick.

["I am relieved. Both of you warriors have met my expectations," the Bard looked at you and Evans: "Then, I wonder if you two are ready to open the Realm of the Lamp God on the next day of the solar eclipse, to confront Caesar directly? Or, you may also wait another month to enhance your strength, as the oil in the Divine Lamp is still sufficient to last another month."]

["Any time, my sword and I can hardly wait!" Evans fondled a seemingly ordinary shortsword at his waist, his face resolute.]

["Very well," the Bard nodded in satisfaction, then looked at you: "What about you?"]

Two options [Open the God Realm immediately on the next solar eclipse], [Wait one more month, better safe than sorry], [None of my business, politely refusing the Lamp God’s invitation].

Mu You tried to backtrack and found that choosing [None of my business] would directly terminate the mission of the God of Order’s succession.

This at least confirmed that the Lamp God’s words were indeed true. He was genuinely responsible for selecting the successor for the God of Order.

As for options one and two, Mu You thought it over, did not choose directly, but first asked a question in the game.

[You asked the Lamp God, how to find the Divine Pen after entering the Lighthouse?]

["Although I built the Lighthouse myself, the Divine Pen holds the power to modify the rules. Over thousands of years, the interior of the Lighthouse may have been completely altered by it, and moreover, I have lost my Divine Power. Therefore, after you enter the Lighthouse, I’m afraid I can’t offer any support. You’ll have to pass the tests set by the Divine Pen for the successor on your own, only by winning its approval will it appear and serve you."]

"This Lamp God really has it rough..."

Mu You was speechless, his capabilities were taken, and even his homeland had been modified by a pen until even he could not recognize it.

Shaking his head, Mu You turned back and chose [Open the God Realm immediately on the next solar eclipse].

He had no choice; without obtaining the Divine Pen, he would not get the Divine Skin, and without the Divine Skin, even waiting another month would not bring any qualitative change in his power. Rather than dragging it out, it was better to get started immediately.

[Facing the gaze of both of you, you indicate that you also have no problems and can enter the God Realm anytime.]

[Your choice made the Bard heave a sigh of relief.]

[You and Evans shook hands in agreement.]

[Congratulations, you have triggered a hidden mission: Reclaim the Divine Pen!]

[Mission Content: Two days later at noon on the day of the solar eclipse, carry the Miracle God Lamp into the Realm of the Lamp God, find the Lighthouse within the God Realm, use the Miracle God Lamp to open the entrance of the Lighthouse, find the hidden Pen of Order within, and with the power of the Divine Pen, annihilate Caesar’s Million Undead Army!]]

[Mission Reward: Gain the support of the Lamp God, and receive three opportunities to make a wish to the Lamp God.]

[You received a ’Tattered Oil Lamp’ gifted by the Bard.]

[Tattered Oil Lamp: A rust-splotched oil lamp nearing dryness, seemingly containing a strange energy within, hinting at its extraordinary nature.]
