YM778.TV Chapter 895 - Truth
In the past, when the three countries were at odds with each other, it was not difficult to kill tens of thousands at all. Things were different now, however. The world was united and the continents were one, so those who were once marked red as enemies were now all green and friendly. With Li Yi’s current status, if he just randomly killed someone, it would definitely lead to an intense backlash.
Thankfully, he had many friends and plenty more who were willing to help him fulfill his quest. Once he asked for anyone willing to die for him, it felt like the whole world heeded his call, flooding his inbox with death wishes...
He killed three thousand today and five thousand tomorrow. Within two and a half days, he had completed his soul collection quest.
He returned to the Tower of Remorse, and as soon as he walked through the first-floor entrance, he was teleported to the 100th floor.
Having a quest really saved a lot of time.
“Meow... Very good, well done indeed. My mistress is very pleased, meow...”
The one waiting for Li Yi in the void was not the Death God Diablo but her pet, the black monster cat with wings and three eyes.
“Meow... the way to power up your God’s Heart is perfectly simple. You just have to put those souls into it. That’s all, meow.”
According to the monster cat’s instructions, Li Yi tried to put the fresh souls into Lightning. It was just as it said: Lightning’s Divine Power count increased rapidly. By the time he had channeled in all 10,000 souls, Lighting had 999 points of Divine Power.
He was just one point away from 1,000!
“When the God’s Heart reaches 999 points, you must kill a true god and channel its soul inside. Once you have done that, you may merge with the God’s Heart and become a demigod... Meow...”
Having completed its task, the three-eyed monster cat turned into black smoke, vanishing.
“Ding! Ding!”
There was a chime by his ear. Li Yi had earned 10 million EXP and 500 Affinity with Haniq.
That was his reward for completing the quest.
“Now I have to kill a true god and take its soul...”
Li Yi was stunned speechless.
Killing a true god was a Herculean task. For example, when Carulla was stripped of her Divine Power back then, even she did not count as a true god.
Only gods in their usual form were considered true gods.
Right now, the Pantheon Mystery expansion pack had not been released yet, so the only god who could descend upon the Pantheon Continent was... the God-queen Carulla!
He had to kill the God-queen at full strength?
Just the thought of it gave Li Yi a headache.
No wonder no one could ascend in the past life. This final step was simply ridiculous. Divine Power was heads and shoulders above all other power, and even Territory Power paled in comparison. The gulf between them was too big, so how was this in any way possible?
Li Yi considered countless possibilities, but it all culminated in him shaking his head helplessly. With his current strength, if he fought a true god, he had less than a 2% chance of winning...
Recently, The Mountain and Milky Way Star had reached the 100th floor in their Ascension Quests as well. Both of them had also met the Death God, but unlike Li Yi, they did not receive the quest to collect fresh souls. Instead, they received a different quest each.
The Mountain’s quest was to collect 10,000 pieces of Natural Essence. When he mentioned this to Li Yi, his tone was that of frustration and helplessness.
Natural Essence was the rarest material in King of Pantheon, without exceptions. It could form anywhere on the Pantheon Continent. For example, Fire Essence would naturally form in volcanoes, and bodies of water would naturally form Water Essence...
Natural Essence only formed naturally. Once harvested, it would take three to six months to replenish itself.
Forget 10,000 pieces of Natural Essence, even 10 pieces was good enough cause for a migraine.
It was so rare that it could not even be bought with money. How could The Mountain not feel frustrated to receive such a quest?
The Mountain was in a bad way, but Milky Way Star was not too much better. His next quest was to collect 10,000 Rainbow Cloud wisps.
The Rainbow Cloud was not a material. Instead, it was one of King of Pantheon’s rare natural phenomena. The Rainbow Cloud would randomly appear somewhere around the Pantheon Continent. After lingering for 20 to 60 seconds, it would disappear on its own.
There was only one Rainbow Cloud in the whole King of Pantheon, and the map was huge. It was not easy to catch a glimpse of the Rainbow Cloud, but to collect 10,000 wisps? That was practically impossible...
The Mountain and Milky Way Star were both utterly depressed. Compared to them, Li Yi realized that he was actually pretty lucky...
Even putting the two of them aside, Fire Ice’s Ascension Quest had been active for a while now too. However, she had not even found out how to power up her God’s Heart yet.
Li Yi knew of one more player who had received the Ascension Quest.
Ghostly Walker.
That young boy had been doing the Ascension Quest for even longer than Li Yi had. Li Yi was really curious as to what his final quest had been.
However, when Li Yi tried to ask, the boy did not even reply, ignoring him completely.
Upon emerging from the Tower of Remorse’s 100th floor, Li Yi contacted Brother Windcloud Nine and asked him about God-queen Carulla.
Brother Windcloud Nine had been hiding from Carulla, but the demons’ power worked differently. Even though he was in hiding, Carulla still managed to find him a few times.
Thankfully, he followed Li Yi’s advice and always logged off as soon as he bumped into Carulla.
“Carulla keeps sending me messages, telling me to find her at the Water God’s Palace. She even threatened me, saying that if I don’t give her a reply in five days, she’ll cast Divine Punishment on us and strip me of my title as Emperor. She’s a real pain, I don’t think I can last much longer.”
Gods’ true forms were restricted by some mysterious power, so they could not descend upon the Pantheon Continent using their true forms, but God-queen Carulla was an exception. She could descend upon the Pantheon Continent, but she could not stay for long.
“The next time she sends you a message, ask her where she is and tell me. We’ll go look for her together.”
“Do you wanna kill her?” Brother Windcloud Nine sounded rather excited.
“Let’s give it a try.”
“Hahaha, yus!”
No matter how strong the gods were, Li Yi firmly believed that any gods who went against the players would not meet with pleasant ends.
Merely ten minutes later, Brother Windcloud Nine replied to Li Yi.
“Carulla called me again, she’s at the Wind God’s Shrine!”
“Alright, let’s go! Coordinates are *** : ***.”
Li Yi had been at the Wind God’s Shrine once before, so he just told Brother Windcloud Nine the coordinates. That way, the latter could just teleport there.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
Two figures appeared at the entrance to the Wind God’s Shrine, one after the other.
