Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Are you sure about this?” Fist Sage’s eyes held a hint of surprise.

Jiang Cheng’s current strength wasn’t enough to publicly reveal his identity. If he did, it could potentially bring endless trouble.

Waving his hand, Jiang Cheng nodded, “Little Yue already knows, there’s no avoiding it.”

Lan Xingyue’s personality was such that she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

In her eyes, as long as she could reach her objective, there was nothing that couldn’t be sacrificed.

If Lan Xingyue was determined to see him, and he kept hiding, the Great Wasteland would probably be turned upside down.

Jiang Cheng was cautious, but he never backed down from a challenge.

His guiding principle was that strength could solve everything.

“I respect your choice.”

Fist Sage didn’t show any intention of stopping him. Whatever decision Jiang Cheng made, he would support it.

But Jiang Cheng knew very well that if anything happened, Fist Sage would definitely be the first to stand up for him.

“Well then, let’s go.”

Jiang Cheng and Fist Sage exchanged a glance.

Then he stood up, leading A Silly Cutie and the others towards the Blood Void Tavern.

Fist Sage quickly took off the Jade Treasure Armor and the full-coverage helmet, returning to his original appearance.

Since they were going to face the situation, there was no need to hide their identities.

As a master of his generation, he naturally had his own pride.

With Jiang Cheng, that was just a joke between friends.

“Are we going to the tavern too?” A Silly Cutie’s face showed a hint of excitement.

“I heard that Dharma Saint’s nickname is Slaughter Legend, the strongest of the Twelve Gods. She once slaughtered tens of thousands of players single-handedly, and she’s also a good friend of the Supreme God.”

Following Jiang Cheng, A Silly Cutie had already met many big figures in the gaming world.

She had also gotten to know Yun Xiang, the Nine Rivers of Shanhe, and friends like Fist Sage.

But among the Twelve Gods, in terms of strength, all players unanimously agreed that Dharma Saint was always the strongest.

Being recognized as the strongest among the twelve Gods, she was naturally very curious about what such a person looked like and what kind of personality she had.

“Little Cutie, I advise you not to have any expectations. Dharma Saint… isn’t as easy to get along with as our master. I can put it this way: among the billions of players in the Great Wasteland, probably only the late Supreme God could catch her eye,” Yun Long warned. “When we get there, don’t try to talk to her. It would just be embarrassing yourself.”

“Uh… Is Dharma Saint that cold?” A Silly Cutie was a bit taken aback, instantly abandoning the idea of greeting Dharma Saint.

Everyone’s expressions confirmed Yun Long’s words, convincing A Silly Cutie not to embarrass herself.

“But Little Cutie, don’t be discouraged. This trip will definitely be worth it,” Yun Long said excitedly. “Although Dharma Saint is too aloof, you also mentioned that Path to Hell Huang Quan, Silver Snow War God Zhao Bai’an, and Huo Silou from Qionglou are inside. They’ll definitely be interested in you.”

He continued, “Most importantly, there’s that Temple president who has never shown his face. You might not know this, but since the Temple was established, only the vice presidents have been handling affairs.”

“From the moment the Temple was founded, it shocked Mythic by recruiting the Seven Oddities as vice presidents, then forcibly merged 108 guilds, defeating the then number one guild Reincarnation Six Paths.”

“Later, they defeated the Demon Palace, recruited through battles, and brought Human Weapon – Emei Ci, Array Emperor, Immortal Phoenix, and Dharma Saint into the Temple, announcing the sensational twelve vice president positions. Throughout all this, the Temple president has never appeared in public.”

“Many people have been speculating about his identity. Some say he’s the son of the Great Wasteland game company, others say he’s the world’s richest man, and some say he’s a high-ranking official. The theories are endless.”

“But no matter what others guess or say, he has never come out to clarify or take charge of the situation.”

“Although he doesn’t show his face, he can command Xie Changkong, Zhao Bai’an, Emei Ci, and the other seven Gods, as well as figures like Sword Emperor and Su Lian’ya to work for him, making the Temple the number one guild in the gaming world.”

Yun Long’s excitement grew as he continued, “The power behind him is probably beyond our imagination. That’s why the Game Encyclopedia has dubbed him the most mysterious existence in Mythic.”

“Even the legendary Supreme God wasn’t as mysterious as him.”

“Ah… There’s such a person? He must be very powerful, right?” A Silly Cutie asked curiously.

Although Yun Long’s comparison of the Temple president to her idol, the Supreme God, made her a bit uncomfortable, she was indeed very curious about this mysterious Temple president.

Someone who could command seven great Gods must have an extraordinary identity.

Who could it be?

As they talked, they approached the Blood Void Tavern.

Although countless players had gathered around the Blood Void Tavern, hoping to see the big scene and catch a glimpse of the big shots, with the Royal Knight Squad present, many players couldn’t get in at all.

They could only stretch their necks to look inside from outside the small tavern, while cursing non-stop,

“Damn it, I even gave up on boss hunting to come here and see the Gods, but I couldn’t see shit. It’s fucking boring. I should have just gone to play ranked matches on the Heavenly Ladder instead.”

“You think you have it bad? The goddess I’ve been chasing for years finally started chasing me back because of my strength in the game. I was all set to take her virginity today, but then some asshole said Dharma Saint had come out of seclusion and all twelve Gods had gone to the Blood Void Tavern. I rushed out before even getting in, immediately logged into the game and ran to Blood Void City, and this is what I get to see?”

The Tiger Head Mountain Guild leader said with a dejected face.

“Holy shit, brother, you’re amazing. Respect, respect. You gave up on your girlfriend’s virginity just to see Dharma Saint? Incredible!”

“Incredible, too formidable to mess with. I thought quitting a dungeon at the last moment before killing the boss was bad enough, but there’s something even worse. Brother, I admire you. I’ll call you Iron Head Kid.”

Many players outside the tavern kept complaining, and naturally, they noticed Jiang Cheng and his group.

“Hey, this skeleton… looks a bit like that black skeleton that broke the double myth in Luoyun City.”

“What do you mean ‘looks like’? It is that skeleton!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into chaos.

“Damn, it really is him. It’s really that Dark Calamity Emperor who broke through the formation. Why is he here too?”

“Dark Calamity Emperor? What’s that?”

“You don’t know about the Dark Calamity Emperor? You’re so out of the loop. On the forum, someone leaked this black skeleton’s battle record. He’s killed Yin Dog Xuan Yue, defeated Mad Dog Qian Chonglang, fought Dharma Demon, wiped out the recently famous Beiluo Guild, and broke the myth of Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix.”

“With such a record, he’s scared a lot of people. You could say he’s killed his way here. Basically, any legendary figure who encounters him ends up falling before him.”

“Plus, his appearance gives off a particularly ominous feeling, and his whole body is black, representing darkness. So hundreds of thousands of players gave him a title, dubbing him the Dark Calamity Emperor, meaning the calamity of darkness, the emperor among calamities.”

“Impressive. I never thought a skeleton could be so badass. I’ve been living under a rock. But why are they coming here? Are they also here to celebrate Dharma Saint coming out of seclusion?”
