Chapter 959 "Dust and Fire" - [Just Die]
"That's a bit against the rules."
"I also feel this is a bit irregular. What's with the lingering will of 'Dust and Fire'? It's either agree or refuse, how can it be given a different skill... and this skill wasn't even activated in 'Delicious Funeral'!"
"That's how it is when you get along well with someone who's dull-witted."
"That's how it is when you get along well with someone who's dull-witted."
"...Don't say anymore. I feel sorry for Yu Dun. I heard that after he appeared and left the team competition like a dumpling dipped in vinegar, he ran away from home and hasn't returned since."
What if "Dust and Fire" is only willing to grant this skill?
"Did you see the big group? The idiot said He supports all of Dustfire's decisions."
"What about the gourmet? I remember He was also close to 'Dust and Fire,' what did He say?"
"The answer from the cooking smoke was the same as its own dullness; it supported all of 'Dust and Fire's' decisions. It even said that if it were it, it would also prefer to grant the skill of 'Carrying Wine and Singing'."
"If you don't mind the smoke from the kitchen, then I have even less to say."
"This is a relic of 'Dust and Fire.' As long as the Gods' Game passes, I have no objections."
"I don't think the demon faction has any objections."
“That’s true, they’re happy to see it. That area is now a major base for haters who come to drink and sing.”
"It's all an act."
"that is!"
...
Yu Xunge stared at the helpful prompt for a few minutes before reluctantly choosing to accept the reassignment.
You're all robbers!
[Congratulations to player ■■寻歌 for obtaining the "Dust and Fire" level skill - Just Die]
【Just Die】(Dust and Fire): "Cooking Smoke and Dullness always say that eating my cooking has a health-preserving effect. I really can't bear to tell them that my cooking secret is to randomly pick a potion recipe and replace the potion with random ingredients... This was an idea that Qi Hua gave me."
Using this skill, you will receive a magical bento box. Two hours after eating the bento, you will uncontrollably utter strange and unusual phrases, but at the same time, you will become the luckiest person in the world. Only one magical bento box can be made and consumed each Starry Day.
"Dust and Fire" level skill? This is yet another new level she has never seen before.
I don't know if this skill is related to Qiu Lu's divine relic.
But Yu Xunge was barely satisfied.
Because this level looks like a divine skill, it must be higher than SSS level.
None of the elders at the table asked her what she had acquired. In fact, from the moment she started changing her skills, they began chatting amongst themselves about adult topics, such as where there was treasure or mysterious legends.
After finishing their meal, Aihao immediately left, and Tianhu Haoqi also teleported away. As a teacher at Moonlight Wetlands, she should have been fair on the surface, instead of eating with a particular student alone, which would have hurt the feelings of the other students.
Zhu Ri scoffed at this. As soon as Tian Hu Hao Qi disappeared, she said, "She's just fooling herself. During the three years she was on leave, even the dogs of Astrana knew she was with me looking for you."
The elf drove his motorcycle to take the apprentice to the entrance of the Twilight Library.
Before the apprentice had even completely disembarked, she asked, "You never seem to have suspected or worried that I would stop you from participating in the Heavenly Seven in order to keep you here?"
Without pausing at all, Yu Xunge replied, "That's impossible. You would never do that."
With one hand resting on the motorcycle, Zhu Ri turned to look at the apprentice who had already gotten off. The latter was still smiling at her. She clicked her tongue and said, "Do you know how much I paid to bring you back?"
“I know, I asked Teacher Tianhu Haoqi, but you just don’t know.” Yu Xunge said firmly, “If one day in the future I also have an apprentice and she suddenly disappears in front of me, then I will do everything I can to bring her back. No one can take her away without my permission, but if she wants to pursue something on her own, I will absolutely not stop her.”
She ran towards the stairs, waving at Zhu Ri with her back turned: "I've learned a lot of bad habits from you, this is one of them."
The elf's disgruntled voice sounded from behind her, "What kind of bad habit is this..."
"Why doesn't it count?"
Whether it was going through great lengths to bring her back or watching her walk further and further away with great reluctance, the two seemingly different actions were essentially the same—she refused to bow down to any being.
Whether it was the unknown god who stole her apprentice, or herself.
Zhu Ri would never try to keep anyone because he felt reluctant to part with them.
She was the same...
Her dream began with each passing day, but it will not stop with each passing day.
...
Two days later, on the white sail atop the Twilight Library, every single apprentice who had participated in this year's God's Game, as long as they could still breathe, and even if their abnormal energy expenditure had not yet recovered, came.
Nobody wanted the Heavenly Hand Seven to be activated, but since it's activated now, we have to see it for ourselves.
On that day, 80% of the shops in Astrana closed down.
The endless desert sealed off the city gates last night because it simply couldn't hold any more living beings.
Just as the sun rose to the same level as the white sails, the countdown above the giant white gate finished.
Without anyone urging him, Yu Xunge had already used Instant Step to appear in front of the door.
With her hands pressed against the door, she glanced one last time at the audience, at Tianhu Haoqi and Aihao, before her gaze returned to the door.
As she began to forcefully try to push the door open, her health and mana began to decrease rapidly until they dropped to 1%.
She wasn't panicked. These procedures had been explained to her by Tianhu Haoqi and Zhu Ri. She wasn't worried about the apprentices behind her launching a sneak attack because she would be protected by the Divine Game while the door was being opened.
With a deep, ancient thud that seemed to weigh heavily on people's hearts, the door slowly opened.
A new world appeared before everyone.
A magical light flashed across Yu Xunge, restoring her health and mana to full.
Waves pushed in from behind the door, wetting Yu Xunge's shoes. Before her was an endless sea, and on the surface of the sea were small hills and pebbles floating in the air, as well as cloud whales slowly swimming among the hills.
Calling them cloud whales isn't quite accurate; these are clearly small houses made entirely of clouds, with the whales merely serving as the exterior.
The whale-shaped cloud house nimbly weaves through the broken mountains. Through the whale's eyes and its mouth that occasionally opens to breathe, one can see that all sorts of creatures live in the cloud house. Yu Xunge also saw a bar and tables and chairs.
Looking around, there are more than a thousand whale-shaped cloud houses.
A whale swam close to the surface of the sea. With a flick of its tail, it stirred up waves and then surged back into the sky. Yu Xunge could clearly hear the laughter and angry shouts coming from the cloud house.
The whale-shaped cloud houses flew high and low in the air, with the highest ones swimming and weaving through the sea of clouds.
"Aren't you going in? Is it because you can't fly anymore?"
A cold yet familiar voice sounded behind her.
Yu Xunge knew it was Maple Syrup without turning around. She didn't answer, but instead spotted the nearest broken mountain and used her [Instant Step], which allows for short-distance teleportation, to move there.
Just as Zhu Ri said, this skill can be instantly cast when it reaches S-rank, with only a two-second cooldown. Now she has already reached SSS-rank, with a 0.5-second cooldown, and it can even pass through various protective shields.
The moment she stepped through the gate, the game notification "Tianhu Haoqi" rang in her mind.
