Chapter 701 -398: Troublesome Guy is Here (First Update)_1
[The first time I’ve ever seen Wang so angry.]
[Did it trigger some unpleasant memories for him?]
[Come on, Wang, spill the beans. Let’s all have a good laugh.]
“It’s not that exaggerated. Just seeing injustice, so should I not step up as a qualified successor?”
Wang spoke with righteousness, his slick, shiny hair twinkling with the light of the righteous path.
[What about the truth then?]
“Got sick of the forest, so thought I’d go somewhere else for a change of scenery, a change of taste.”
[That’s more like the Old Man.]
[Exactly, the way you were going on about justice, I thought your body had been taken over.]
[Old Man, don’t play the hero again, it sounds so cheesy. Be good, listen to me, don’t do things that’ll ruin your image anymore.]
[Yeah, you saying you’re pining for the Idiotic Divine’s body would be more believable than that excuse.]
Relief filled the live-streaming room, while Wang found himself not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
To actually be thought of as ruining his image, when he was just being sincere for once.
How did you guys used to see me, anyway?
Although the chat in the live room became lively again, Wang felt an even colder loneliness in his heart, seemingly without anyone to vent to.
Suddenly, someone patted his head and said, “There, there, I know my Wang is very righteous. Now, be a good boy and continue streaming.”
Seeing Zhao appear behind him, Wang, with tears in his eyes, whispered a soft, “Okay.”
Gathering his emotions, Wang continued.
A new surprise event boosted the live room’s popularity; even Fang Cheng’s attention was drawn here, curious about what Wang was up to.
Invisible gazes lingered, observing everything that was happening.
Following Fang Cheng, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord watched curiously for a while before asking, “Great Heavenly Lord, what are you looking at here?”
“I’m observing all beings, observing the Dao,” Fang Cheng said with a smile.
“What Dao can there be in such trivial matters?”

Fang Cheng concentrated his mana and casually drew a symbol in the air, his clear mana flowing like moonlight, tracing a perfect semicircle.
Seeing this symbol, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord immediately accepted it reverently and then used his own mana to complete the semicircle.
This was a common way of discussing the Dao among Heavenly Lords: one would condense their insights into the Dao, share the upper half with the other, and then let the other complete it.
If the other could complete it, it meant they could understand one’s vision of the Dao, and were fellow travelers on the same path.
If not, it either meant their paths were different and they could not conspire together, or it was as if they were dead to each other, to be ignored upon meeting in the future.
With this Dao imparted, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord began completing the semicircle, and before long, the circle slowly filled and became as full as the moon.
Watching this, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord breathed a sigh of relief.
There were only two Heavenly Lords left in the world at present, and one of them was the renowned Heavenly Lord Fang. He really did not want to discover that they were not on the same path.
Discovering that their aspirations were aligned, he decoded the information from the circle and then understood Fang Cheng’s thoughts.
The matter of asking the Dao cannot be clearly explained, not spoken of; it’s mystery upon mystery, the gate to all wonders.
Through this method, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord roughly understood what Fang Cheng was pondering and then commented, “Interesting, using illusion to cover true intent, embellishing righteousness with fame—they’re certainly intriguing, this Wang.”
“Yes, that’s why it’s fun to watch their actions. Let’s just keep watching.”
Below, Wang had already persuaded the Idiotic Divine and Dave, convincing them to agree to take him into the city to meet with the Bishop and explain his purpose.
However, Idiotic Divine emphasized seriously, “Once we get there, you can’t hit the Bishop, no matter what. And if the Bishop is right, you must let me die immediately, okay?”
“You still haven’t given up on that idea?”
“It’s one of the few chances I get to contribute to the world. How could I miss it?”
Looking at the slightly fanatical Idiotic Divine, Wang felt that the world view of this world must be a bit dark.
Look what they did to this poor girl.
However, this also made him more curious about the situation here, making him even more eager to find out what was really going on.
With Dave’s leadership, the possibility of leaving the forest was no longer zero.
The Dark Forest had its own unique traits; when there was insufficient protection, those who entered would involuntarily head inward, until consumed by the forest or reaching the heart of the Demon King’s domain.
But as a Holy Knight of the state religion, Dave had some unique abilities that allowed them to walk here and reduce the forest’s influence on them.
These abilities came from the gods they worshiped. Although the gods couldn’t directly interfere here, the Divine Artifacts they once left behind still protect the humans here, giving them the ability to defend themselves against the Demon King’s invasion.
Yet even with these special abilities, the Dark Forest’s influence remained.
If seen from above, one could notice their route resembling the spiral of a mosquito coil, expanding outward from the center, but overall steadily making progress toward the periphery.
In addition to that, on the journey, Dave never stopped being vigilant around Wang, asking questions along the way, in the hope of learning more useful information.
