This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 1127 Divine Game: Quiet Mountain 10

[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: Other than the two you already know, the apostles of the gods who currently exist are Snowfield Mistblade, Forest Sea Maple Syrup, Mountain Isles Frenzied Shark, TingoJE, Among Antlers Frost Deer, Beacon SmokeTune, Tides Mojie, and Midsummer Kessa.

Exactly ten.

The connection between these ten copies and the ten Order Badges tied to the mission was practically spelled out.

[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: The full list has more than a thousand names.

[Nuclear Flash NightFury]: Why am I not on it?

[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: Ash Cinders.

No one spammed the chat. Most of them had probably gone to look through the copy list.

[Isolated Isle Ash Cinders]: Their combat power growth is tied to the Demon Games that only apostles of the gods can participate in. Overall combat rating is evaluated based on attributes, skills, god-gifted talents, combat experience and technique, bound equipment, items, and special artifacts. Tier 18 is the ceiling of the combat rating system. You see Tier 18 because that is the highest tier available. After reaching Tier 18, they focus on upgrading talents and awakening their own demon name. This process has two stages. QM Rita is the first apostle here to obtain a demon talent and enter the second stage. She only lacks her name now.

[DawnCicada]: If she is a copy, why is QM Rita so strong? When I ruled Dawn, SS Rita had not even been born yet.

[Isolated Isle Ash Cinders]: There is one Demon Game per day. As long as a player is willing, they can play every day. No resurrection skills are allowed inside. Death there is permanent. To descend into Quiet Mountain as an apostle of the gods, the prerequisite is winning ten Demon Games first.

[Isolated Isle Ash Cinders]: That is everything I could ask. She has awakened.

After that message, Ash Cinders did not appear again, no matter what new questions flooded the channel.

Rita, who had respawned and returned to her original drop point, was instead stuck thinking about the Demon Games that could be played daily.

Divine Game existed to cultivate gods. Demon Games existed to cultivate demons.

So in Uncharted Star Sea, what was the true divide between gods and demons? Was it really, as B80 said, just a matter of gameplay?

Was QM Rita so powerful because she could enter Demon Games without restriction?

Were the Order Badges the keys to Demon Games?

What standard did Quiet Mountain use to copy players?

And did copying these players have anything to do with the so-called final catastrophe mentioned by Divine Game?

Quiet Mountain had a statue of Deceitful Bloom. Had she been copied before as well?

What would QM Rita’s demon name be?

Just like the old Shrine Quiz, the deeper she dug, the more questions appeared.

After revival, all the restraints and seals QM Cicada had placed on her were gone.

Nivalis and B80 had indeed died earlier, but after she triggered the World’s Grave Forest skill Give Me a Chance, they reentered the game. For now, Rita would not let them come out easily. She needed to save Tail Tip for a critical moment.

Rita stood up on the treetop, took one last look toward Beacon in the distance, and flew in the opposite direction.

Whether or not Quiet Mountain’s version of herself had left Beacon, she had no intention of going there.

Based on her usual personality and habits, she would have chosen to sneak back. The most dangerous place was the safest place. She could get close to the copies, investigate the Order Badges, and take revenge on QM Cicada.

But the problem was that Quiet Mountain’s version of herself existed.

This involved one of her hypotheses.

If Quiet Mountain needed players, then it would not copy at random.

What mattered most? What did Quiet Mountain value?

Even if memories were erased, a person would not truly become someone else.

There had to be something on them, something Quiet Mountain cared about, for them to be copied over. No matter how many players said QM Rita was different from her, until she saw her with her own eyes, Rita would treat that person as another version of herself.

From now on, unless absolutely necessary, she would deliberately reject all her instinctive first choices.

...

Quiet Mountain was enormous. Each domain was equivalent to dozens of worlds stitched together, and the distance between domains was even greater. Rita planned to head to Snowfield first, which was also in Domain Twenty Three.

QM Mistblade most likely lived in Snowfield. Finding her would also allow Rita to investigate the Order Badge.

If she could snatch it, even better.

What Rita lacked most was time. As long as she was given a chance, even if she entered the game last, she could still become QM Rita.

While traveling, Rita continued to hide her innate golden lightning in her eyes. From time to time, she checked the battlefield chat channel for new updates. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Contribution points were intangible, but every change was reflected directly on the real-time ladder rankings.

At the top were Ash Cinders and Lightchaser.

But third place was actually Verdant Verdant Whisper · Windrush.

Not only because she had provided key information about the Deceitful Bloom statue, but also because after Ash Cinders and Lightchaser shared their intelligence, she continued live gossip updates.

[Verdant Verdant Whisper · Windrush]: DawnCicada is getting completely suppressed by BS Rita. Is this really something I am allowed to see? Am I going to get silenced for this?

[DawnCicada]: QM Cicada, QM Rita, if you do not change how you address me, when I return to Uncharted Star Sea, I will erase you.

[Verdant Verdant Whisper · Windrush]: QM Rita talks in such an infuriating way. She told QM Cicada, looks like you really have learned your lesson. Even after tying up a fake, once you see this face of mine, you do not dare touch her. I am very satisfied.

[BS Rita]: What fake? Who are you calling fake?

[DawnCicada]: What do you mean learned my lesson? Do you even know how to use words? That word does not exist in my life.

[Verdant Verdant Whisper · Windrush]: What flowers do you bloom when you get angry again? I forgot. QM Cicada’s vine bloomed in a full row, all exploding, the kind that starts wilting in the very next second...

[DawnCicada]: That means she is about to lose her mind.

[Verdant Verdant Whisper · Windrush]: QM Rita said that since she did not keep SS Rita, there was no need to keep SS SmokeTune either. Right, SmokeTune exists here. So why did we say earlier that QM Cicada did not recognize her?

[BS Rita]: Probably because I also mentioned Spring Guest back then. She was confused because of Spring Guest. I misunderstood.

[BS SmokeTune]: I saw myself. She snuck in while QM Rita was out. She walked right up to me, then turned around and sprinted off so smoothly, like she came here just to walk that one round trip.

[Verdant Verdant Whisper · Windrush]: QM Rita pinned QM Cicada to the wall with a sword and opened a portal. She is probably going to block you. Mountain SmokeTune must be terrified.

[BS SmokeTune]: Do you have to be this humiliating? When I lived in BS, BS Rita never raised her voice at me. She even checked on me and worried about me!

[BS Rita]: I just naturally dislike shouting. Thank you very much.

Damn it. What kind of blessed life is QM Rita living?
