Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1319 - 10: I Want It All
"What are you thinking about?"
The Heavenly Venerate beside him suddenly asked. Xiao Jie turned his head to look at him—the Heavenly Venerate was also holding a black jade token in his hand, with a pensive expression.
"I’m thinking about whether to participate in this salvation plan. If I were to join, which path should I choose."
"I think both paths are decent," the Heavenly Venerate analyzed, "Attacking the Divine Court and seizing the pinnacles of deification is certainly a grand plan, but without enough strength, it is just an illusion like a flower in a mirror, a moon in the water."
"Following the Iron Blood Immortal Alliance to slowly grind levels and accumulate equipment is indeed a righteous path. But without shortcuts, it won’t be easy for us two newbies at over fifty levels to catch up with those experts at seventy or eighty levels.
Since we’re in this Great Thousand Worlds, we might as well not settle for being a mere background character—what do you think?"
The Heavenly Venerate paused, a trace of confidence showing at the corner of his mouth: "If we could get the auxiliary help of the Heavenly Soldiers for leveling, it would surely be much easier, right?"
Xiao Jie smiled slightly—this Heavenly Venerate spoke quite frankly, and his thoughts were not much different from his own.
He indeed had the same thoughts.
Moreover, he had another layer of intention: being a person of destiny himself, if he could truly advance to the pinnacles of deification, it might not be impossible for him to gain some benefits for himself.
If Emperor Shitian could, with the power of the Heavenly Dao, gain control of the pinnacles of deification, there’s no reason he couldn’t either.
As for following the Iron Blood Immortal Alliance to improve his level and accumulate strength, it’s currently the best option. Unless he chooses to lay flat, it seems that only the Iron Blood Immortal Alliance is the most professional guild in Embers City.
However... it’s not an easy task to get the best of both worlds. One misstep in balancing and measuring, and you might not please anyone.
Nevertheless, Xiao Jie wasn’t too worried about this—as a person of destiny with a heavenly mandate, his luck shouldn’t be too bad. The more he walked the tightrope, the more confident he felt.
At this moment, in the Central Square, people were still discussing among themselves.
For the current two routes, different players naturally had different mindsets.
Some met the standards and were eager to enhance their strength, silently leaving the crowd and chasing after the departing full-time expert.
After all, the temptation to ascend to a celestial status was not small; currently, in Embers City, a Heavenly Immortal was already a top expert, and only the full-time expert could become a Profound Immortal. If one could ascend to a celestial status, they’d directly become a notable figure.
Those uninterested in "saving the world" quietly withdrew to the sidelines, merely watching the spectacle.
But many young people inspired by Emperor Shitian stepped forward, asking for more details.
"Emperor Shitian, didn’t you almost get annihilated last time you attacked the Divine Court? What new plan do you have this time? I don’t want to die for nothing!"
"Exactly! Even if we want to save the world, there needs to be a chance of success. Forget about dying in vain!"
This group of people was rather blunt, not hiding their calculations at all.
The world needs saving, benefits need to be present, and risks need to be low.
People below asked questions, and Emperor Shitian didn’t waste words, with a wave of his hand, the virtual screen behind him changed again.
From the map of the Great Thousand Worlds, it transformed into a more detailed and three-dimensional image—seemingly a real-time scan of the gate to the Divine Court.
Amidst the surging sea of clouds and radiant lights, stood a colossal gate reaching up to the heavens. The gate was based on white jade and adorned with gold, with a massive plaque on top, inscribed with three ancient seal characters—South Heavenly Gate!
Before the gate stood four majestic giants, towering a hundred feet high, like mountains guarding all directions. Under the feet of the giants were countless black-armored Heavenly Soldiers, lined up in strict formation, exuding a killing aura.
However, a careful observation revealed a subtlety—those Heavenly Soldiers weren’t clad in black armor but were colored so by the strange black aura emanating from them. They all had no facial features, with only a dark hollow under their helmets, as if they were puppets drained of their souls.
The four giant Heavenly Gods looked equally twisted and grotesque: some with three heads and six arms wielding lightning; some with six eyes burning with ghostly blue fire; some with broken wings sprouting from their backs, bone visible where feathers fell; and some covered in cracks, like a porcelain divine image about to break—not at all like "normal" deities.
[Lord Zengzhang] [King of Holding Country] [Duo Wen Tianwang] [Vast Eyes Celestial King]—the Four Great Heavenly Kings, each with a level over 100, and as God-Demon level Bosses, their blood volume soared to millions.
"The Four Great Heavenly Kings are indeed difficult to confront," Emperor Shitian admitted frankly, "Last time we attacked the Divine Court, I made a mistake—because I gathered nearly a thousand players, I assumed we could rely on our numerical advantage to defeat them."
"But these God-Demon level Bosses have a very high ’reduced damage to low-level’ ability. Immortals below the Earth Immortal realm can only cause very limited damage to them. Plus, the strength of those Heavenly Soldiers wasn’t weak, and they could continuously respawn, making them hard to clear quickly."
"In the end, we fell into a war of attrition. Since our team’s output wasn’t enough, we failed."
He changed his tone: "But this time, we have a new plan."
The image on the screen started to simulate—the four red arrows split from the players’ ranks, flying towards the Four Great Heavenly Kings.
