Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1382 - 30: The Rise of the Fourth Calamity (Part 2)
"That door seems to be an entrance to a special area," explained Emperor Shitian, "However... since the game’s opening, it has remained closed and has never been opened. Many have tried to open it to explore, but they simply can’t open that door—not even a crack."
He paused, looked at the mansion, and suddenly seemed thoughtful: "Could this... be specially prepared for the three masters?"
"Most likely it is," Xiao Jie speculated, "Since Tongtian Saint has already arranged so much—leading us to the Heavenly Prison to rescue people, placing three Innate Treasures precisely in your hands, even the master-student acceptance seems designed—all this suggests that there are more prepared things ahead."
When he said this, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
On one hand, he was glad to have found the correct direction for salvation, with a clear goal and plan; on the other hand, he also felt something was off—it seemed like he was being pushed by an invisible hand towards an unavoidable direction. All the "coincidences" were too perfect, all the "opportunities" seemed like a script written in advance.
Back in the Nine States World, he had experienced this feeling before; since becoming an Immortal and obtaining extraordinary strength, this feeling had faded, and he thought he had forged his destiny through strength, being free from constraints.
But at this moment, this uncontrollable "sense of destiny" emerged once again.
There won’t be some big pit waiting for me ahead, will there? He suddenly had a thought in his heart.
He couldn’t help but recall the face of Tongtian Taoist, as well as Foolish Taoist, Mad Taoist, Evil Man, these faces merged into one, looking at him with a half-smile.
This feeling of being calculated by others is indeed not very pleasant.
"Whatever, then." Sun Xiaotian was quite open-minded, grinning broadly, "Let’s see what good things Old Tongtian has left for us. The Emperor doesn’t send starving soldiers; if we’re to save the world, there must be some benefits. Let’s go, check it out!"
At this moment, just as Emperor Shitian was about to continue speaking to increase his presence, a private message suddenly came through.
[Cautious Path Comrade]: Guild leader, what’s the situation? Why aren’t you returning to the Immortal Alliance? The brothers are all waiting.
Emperor Shitian’s eyes shifted, and he quickly responded.
[Emperor Shitian]: I’ve brought back some important storyline characters, concerning the great endeavor of salvation. Immediately gather all Immortal Alliance members to meet at the City Lord Mansion. Additionally, make a big show of it, attract as many people as possible, and tell them I have a major announcement!
After sending the message, Emperor Shitian smiled slightly.
Even though this action couldn’t seize the Sealing God Pillar, causing significant losses, rescuing these three Daluo Golden Immortal level NPCs can be considered a major success. More importantly—the action was organized by him, the Savior Alliance was his creation, with so much contribution in hand, and soon to seize the initiative...
Wouldn’t all the Heavenly Mandate be drawn to him?
He is the one and only, true Heavenly Destiny!
At this moment, Xiao Jie also received a message from Full-time Expert.
[Full-time Expert]: Sui Feng, how’s it going on your side? I just saw Emperor Shitian returning, are you with him?
[Hidden Moon Following Wind]: We rescued some key storyline NPCs and found the correct way to save the world. Currently heading to the City Lord Mansion, it seems this place is about to be activated. Quickly bring people over to get acquainted, there might be benefits.
[Full-time Expert]: Okay, I’ll be there soon.
As the information spread rapidly, soon numerous Immortals followed behind that silver Star Boat. There were those using Sword Flight, rushing on clouds, and riding on Immortal Birds, a dense crowd, quite spectacular.
Everyone tacitly followed behind, waiting to see the excitement.
Finally, the Star Boat slowly descended in front of the towering stone gate, tens of meters high, on the mountain wall.
At this moment, the towering stone gate was tightly shut, seamlessly as if it were part of the mountain wall, without a door knocker, no keyhole, not a single crack.
On the rock walls on either side of the stone gate, lines of poetry were engraved in ancient vigorous seal script.
Left couplet:
In the beginning ignorance, the end calamity approaches, Tongtian exhausts the earth and reveals the Heavenly Secret.
Right couplet:
Chaos first opened, disaster stars descend into the world, from adversity to prosperity craft the universe.
Above the stone gate, likewise, were four large characters—Long Time No See!
Xiao Jie had previously noticed this door and specifically asked people from Iron Blood about it; they said this door was fake, completely untouchable.
He hadn’t paid much attention to the text on it.
Now he had a feeling that it might require special characters to trigger it.
A group of six walked out from the Star Boat, arriving in front of the great door, the three rebels were intrigued by the door, while Xiao Jie and the others followed behind, waiting to trigger the storyline.
The players following from afar were stunned to see the names and levels above the Three Demons’ heads.
Sun Xiaotian (Chaos Demon Ape): Level 198, Daluo Golden Immortal. Life Value: ????
Zhao Yu (Fallen Heaven Demon Monarch): Level 199, Daluo Golden Immortal. Life Value: ????
Li Xiaoyi (Destructive Demon Child): Level 197, Daluo Golden Immortal. Life Value: ????
"What the hell! What kind of people have they brought?"
"Chaos Demon Ape? This guy looks like a dark version of Sun Wukong...!"
"That handsome guy has a third eye, hey! Erlang God? No, the name is different..."
"That little kid is actually Destructive Demon Child? Looks pretty cute... Wait, did he just make a face at me?"
The Three Demons paid no heed to the players’ discussions behind them—given their past experiences, this was a small affair.
