Chapter 99 - The Chance To Enter the Epic Stage
Chapter 99: The Chance To Enter the Epic Stage
Wei Huo thought about it for three seconds and decided to stop Wang Wei. After all, he had always chosen to oppose the Wang Family. It would be inappropriate for him to betray them now.
However, Wei Huo was a little worried. He had played games that made the players choose one option over another. If one chose the same option, one could trigger a bad ending.
It was just like the way one would focus on picking up a girl in a game and ignore all others when choosing the option to improve her favorability. However, there would eventually be a bad ending. One could treat every girl like a jerk and still achieve a good outcome. It was simply unreasonable.
As expected, a countdown suddenly appeared on the upper left corner of his retina.
“300 days, 27 hours, 57 minutes.”
At the same time, a quest alert was sent. “There are a total of 39 endings in the Divine Realm, and one player has triggered the ending. The number of players who triggered the 9th ending is one. After the countdown ends, the player will automatically select the ending of the Divine Realm that the highest number of players has triggered.”
Wei Huo was a little curious. My choice triggered a different ending in the Divine Realm indeed. However, what is the 9th ending? Is it a good ending? A bad ending? It seems like I should not know the final outcome until the very last moment.
Big Brother snorted. “How naive. You think you can stop me with just these few people? Second Brother, stop them!”
Wei Huo was speechless.
No matter what, that was still his Second Brother.
Wang Yi stood up and took out five Epic-ranked cards. “If you want to cross this place, you will have to step over my dead body!”
The five Epic-ranked cards emitted a purple glow as they transformed into five gigantic Void Overlords.
Void Overlord: Demon, Epic Rank, Genderless
Effect: Split
Split: After being killed, the Void Overlord will split into three Void Walkers.
Void Walker: Evil Demon, Rare Rank, Genderless
The mysterious old man bellowed, “Time is of the essence! We can’t let him break the seal!”
Wang Teng also shouted, “From now on, unlocking the seal will take about 10 minutes! If you can’t hit my Second Uncle within 10 minutes, everything will be over!”
The two of them stopped moving after shouting. One of them was standing at the foot of the mountain, while the other was floating in the air. They were staring at each other.
Wei Huo was speechless.
What are you guys talking about? Hurry up and attack!
That’s why I’m so f*cking annoyed with online games and dungeons!
Wei Huo was the only one who could clear the Instance Dungeon. However, he had to face five Epic-ranked Void Overlords of the same rank as the Black Dragon Vanguard.
He could not cheat or reload cash either.
As a player who loaded money and could clear the Instance Dungeon, what should he do when he could not reload cash?
He could only fight it out!
Wei Huo picked up Tiamat and used the Black Dragon Card. As soon as the Black Dragon appeared, it summoned two Rare-ranked Crawling Dragons. However, they were no match for the Void Overlords, which were as huge as five mountains.
Wei Huo used another card. The Ice Queen appeared in mid-air. Her body was made of ice, but her figure was hot. With a wave of her hand, the temperature within ten meters began dropping.
The Ice Queen, the Black Dragon Vanguard, and Wei Huo could only fight against three Epic-ranked warriors. If Wang Teng and the mysterious old man also joined forces, the two of them could only watch from the sidelines.
The mysterious old man said, “Time is of the essence. Hurry up and stop them from breaking the seal!”
Wei Huo regretted making this decision. I should have killed the two marginalized creatures first.
Wei Huo even summoned the rhinoceros and Wei Sha. They had just come out of the cave so they did not know what was going on. However, Wei Huo immediately ordered them, “Don’t go forward. If the Void Overlords are killed, deal with the split Void Walkers!”
Wei Huo grabbed Tiamat and rushed toward the five Void Overlords.
No matter how one looked at it, this was weird. There were five Void Overlords on the opposite side. He had a Black Dragon, the Ice Queen, Wei Sha, the rhinoceros, and a weapon. How could he win such a battle?
Wei Huo roared, “There should be a Magical Card!”
The Void Overlords were about 30 meters tall. When they saw Wei Huo approaching, they threw a punch at him. At that moment, the Black Dragon descended from the sky, grabbed a Void Overlord, and flew into the air. The Ice Queen stepped forward and froze a Void Overlord.
Wei Huo leaped up and dodged the Void Overlord’s punch. He then landed on the Void Overlord’s shoulder and slashed down.
The surrounding Void Overlords were affected by the special effects of Tiamat. They immediately threw punches at Wei Huo. Wei Huo jumped into the air and smashed his fist against the Void Overlord under his feet.
“Luckily, this is not a one-round game.”
The Black Dragon flew over and left a Void Overlord behind. It then grabbed Wei Huo and flew into the sky.
Wei Huo frowned. The Void Overlord’s attack power was not strong, but its defense was powerful. How could he break through that defense line within 10 minutes?
Meanwhile, the mysterious old man was still shouting. “Nine minutes left!”
Wei Huo was furious. “If you don’t shut up, I’ll kill you first!”
Everyone watching the show shut up!
The mysterious old man immediately stopped talking.
Upon seeing this situation, Wei Huo had no choice but to take out three purple soul gems. A soul gem contained rich spiritual power, and one could obtain this spiritual power by consuming it. Unfortunately, consuming a soul gem seemed to reduce the rank of a random skill. All other things aside, it would be a waste if one reduced Combat, Shooting, Qi Cultivation, God of Thunder, or the Longevity Skill.
However, Wei Huo could not be bothered anymore. He had to gather sufficient mental strength to reach the Epic stage. Then, he could break through to the Epic Realm!
Of course, this realization was not easy. However, it could increase his spiritual power as well as his combat power.
Wei Huo hesitated as he looked at the three soul gems in his hands.
He had been alive for 19 years before the time halt. The only thing that had left a deep impression on him was that he’d kept answering questions every day. However, he basically could not remember his scores, whether he had won an award, whether he had been criticized by his teacher, the kind of person he had liked, or the special youthfulness he’d had… He basically could not remember anything.
Are those memories important? Or rather, if I forget those memories, will I not be myself anymore?’
If the memories of my life have formed me, would I still be me if I lost all my memories?
The Ultimate Philosophical Question: Who Am I?
As he was deep in thought, Wei Huo crushed three soul gems and swallowed them.
Let’s make a bet!
Wei Huo suddenly realized that consuming the soul gems might give him a chance to enter the Epic stage!
