Chapter 581: 11.107 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Purgatory' (4)

The introduction between the two groups had begun. The ones who started it were the three who weren't originally from the group of Hei Anjing.

"I am Qi Yun. This is my younger sister, Qi Lanyu, and her lover, Yu Suya. We are all from the red zone." introduced the blonded haired man who called himself Qi Yun.

As soon as Lan She heard their names, a frown appeared on his face, seemingly recognizing their names. He had stayed in the Red Zone for quite some time and knew most players from that zone.

Lan She murmured, "Qi Siren siblings and Thunder queen. There should be another one. A light elf with you. Isn't he supposed to be your leader?"

"As expected of the Mad Doctor. You do remember us. That makes things easier then... This is not the first time we have come over to this Punishment World. The first time we came over here Brother Liang was with us. We've also reached the Colosseum for the first time but... Someone took him away from us. That woman is so strong. She does not look like a player at all, instead she looks like a G.o.ddess covered in light. She had kidnapped Brother Liang. We weren't supposed to be able to escape with our lives at that time but... Brother Liang pleaded for our lives to be spared. That's how we can escape the last time." storied Qi Yun as the corner of his eyes turns red showing his sadness and regret.

Chu Mo said, "This seems to be similar to what that female acquaintance of Han Ya said before. So those purebloods are indeed kidnapping people to convert players as their kins?"

"Why would they kidnap players just to transform to be their kin?" asked Zane.

Lan She was the one to answer such a question.

"That is because it is hard to have a descendant as G.o.ds. Giving birth to one would mean luck and a miracle. It is easier to create one than to wait for one." said Lan She. "Plus there are those with the purest bloodline that consider conceiving is more like a miracle that appears every thousand millennia."

An Yuan asked, "Why are they doing it forcefully then?"

"Kid, the weak had no right to complain to the strong. If the strong people want to do such things the only ones who can stop them are those who are strong as well. But obviously, these DemiG.o.ds and fake G.o.ds are all in cahoots, no one is there to stop them. There is one being who could but..." Chu Mo glanced at the secluded corner covered in a barrier before completing what he wanted to say. "But he doesn't care about the others at all."

Han Ya understood what Chu Mo was trying to talk about and knew that these three players were reasons for looking out for them.

"I think I know what you wanted. You want to enter a temporary contract with us to fight the purebloods. But my question is why us?" asked Han Ya.

Qi Yun's smirk widened at such a question and said, "My reason is simple. This is because we knew that you guys would be directly leading the fight in the Colosseum tomorrow. Even if not exactly you guys but there is at least that one who would most likely get bored unless he starts a fight. Boss Hei seems the type to enjoy those kinds of events where the separation between life and death becomes as thin as a thread."

Once everyone in the team heard what Qi Yun had said he couldn't help but smile helplessly upon hearing such an undeniable truth. Among the group, Lan She is the calmest. He had noticed the gold-colored imprint hidden on Qi Yun's neck plus the Qi Siblings' compatibility with water elements, he didn't have enough proof but he felt things aren't simple.

Lan She used his divine consciousness to send a message to An Yuan through his thoughts asking him to look through the details of the three people in front of them. Lan She was asking the status of all three of them.

An Yuan was stunned by what he saw. He didn't expect that he would be able to see through the Qi Siblings. Then another holographic screen that only he could see appeared before him. This is his ability to talk to him.

[After your upgrade as an Ancient Human G.o.d, you are now able to see through those with Divine grade bloodlines. You had reached the requirements to break the seals and your eyes had been upgraded to Heavenly Eyes and received enlightenment from an Immortal G.o.d who had given you their blessing. Master will now see the truth of this world.]

An Yuan murmured, "Truth of this world?"

He suddenly felt his eyes burning and yelled in pain.

AAAHHH!

"My eyes!? It hurts... It burns!!" exclaimed An Yuan.

Hugging him in his embrace Han Ya panicked seeing his beloved in pain. Even Chu Mo, Lan She, and Zane were shocked to see An Yuan act like this.

Han Ya asked, "A'Yuan what happened? Your eyes are hurting? Doctor Lan, what is happening to An Yuan? He said his eyes hurt?"

"Let me see!" said Lan She as Han Ya carried An Yuan closer to him.

Chu Mo who is seeing the movement of the world energy converging in the eyes of An Yuan.

"World energy? Impossible only cultivators can move the energy of the world," murmured Chu Mo.

Zane asked, "World Energy? Cultivator? What are you talking about?"

Lan She frowned as he also saw what Chu Mo had seen. The movement of the world energy, then when he looked up he saw that dark cloud gathering above An Yuan. This is a heavenly tribulation for a human to transform into a G.o.d.

"This is a tribulation of a human to become a G.o.d. Did he receive Enlightenment?" mumbled Lan She.

He then recalled that time before Lord G.o.d Ye ordered them to complete the rest of the dungeons he gave forcefully upgraded their bloodlines and physique. In this world in which only Lord G.o.d Ye is considered as the Sole True G.o.d, what he did was treated as bestowing blessing to them. Now their bloodline's potential had been fully pulled out. For an Ancient bloodline like what An Yuan possessed, it can be equated that he was given enlightenment for ascension.

"Is this because of what the boss did before?" mumbled Chu Mo who somewhat guessed the same thing his lover his thinking about.

Han Ya felt things aren't simple and even saw the dangerous clouds above their heads. The crackling of thunder and lightning can be seen even through the black sky.

Dark-faced Han Ya said, "What the h.e.l.l is happening?"

Lan She spoke, "An An is about to transform from a human to a G.o.d. Since his bloodline had upgraded to a divine grade, his Ancient Human bloodline becomes an Ancient Human G.o.d. He now receives the Enlightenment and must pa.s.s the tribulation to become a real G.o.d."

"But didn't you say that there are no real G.o.ds in this world except for his majesty?" said Han Ya.

Chu Mo said, "Yes. In this world, only one True G.o.d exists but that doesn't mean no outer G.o.ds are entering this world okay. Plus... This human and you had received a blessing from an even higher realm G.o.d. Normally, you can reach ascension if given the opportunity. His opportunity happened to be now."

Zane and the other guys in the area were shocked by what Chu Mo had said. The fact that some other G.o.ds enter their world without anyone knowing how and when left them dumbfounded.

"f.u.c.k! Does this mean Real G.o.ds are playing this game too!?" asked Zane.

"I told you even G.o.d gets bored," said Chu Mo.

Qi Yun and his team staying silent in the sudden changes in the situation speak up and say while pointing at the sky.

Looking at the dark sky above their heads worriedly, "Excuse me. Hey! Can you guys look at the sky first? The lightning seems to be about to fall!" said Qi Yun.

Qi Lanyu was grabbed by the silent Yu Suya hugging her thin waist as she looked at the impending lightning that was about to fall.

"Ah. Aah!!! Run!" yelled Qi Lanyu.

Yu Suya said, "Shush~ darling, I'm here, don't be afraid."

"f.u.c.k! Even a woman is cooler than me! Big bro, it's about to fall. Would An Yuan be okay?" asked Zane worriedly.

Chu Mo said while creating a defensive formation to block a few hits of lightning, "We can't leave. The tribulation would follow the ascender." as he glanced at the writhing in pain An Yuan leaned on Han Ya.

Lan She had been helping An Yuan calm down his growing soul domain. For a mortal born, the growth of the domain in their soul is like growing another head. The process is extremely painful.

"Dear, have you activated the defensive array?" Lan She asked his lover, Chu Mo.

Chu Mo answered, "I did but... This is against the law; it could only block one or two hits. Based on the range of the tribulation, these must be six-set tribulation clouds."

"Six sets? Does that mean six lightning bolts would fall on An Yuan?" asked Zane.

Lan She replied, "No. Six sets mean six multiplied by six. 36 lightning tribulations."

"36!?" murmured Han Ya in astonishment.

Zane was panicking as he pointed at the sky, "f.u.c.k! s.h.i.+t!! It's about to fall!! AHH!!!"

Chu Mo hit him in the head, "Stop panicking, r.e.t.a.r.d! I'm more surprised that the tribulation would find us even in h.e.l.l!"

"Dear, activate the array now," said Lan She while preparing another set of arrays after the first was used up.

"Ah~ wait! I'm missing one more part before I could activate it," said Chu Mo.

At the last moment, Qi Yun and his small team decided to help them block the lightning.

Qi Yun joined their group and said, "We will lend you our help."

"Us too! Honey helps us too," said Qi Lanyu.

The three of them awakened their bloodline to the fullest. Qi Yun and Qi Lanyu turned to their mermaid forms and controlled the water in the pool creating a thick dome of ice surrounding the whole group at the center. Outside Yu Suya was in her white tiger form. Her hair turned completely white with black highlights. Her eyes turned like those of a cat and tiger ears and tail appeared on her body.

Yu Suya is now afloat above the ice dome.

Zane said, "What is she doing? Get her in here! It's dangerous outside!"

Qi Lanyu said, "It should be okay. Lightning do not affect my darling~"

An Yuan who finally calmed down and could somehow bear the pain exclaimed, "No! This is not a bolt of ordinary lightning. It's lightning coming from the heavenly laws itself."

Crizzz~ Boom!

But his words came too late, the first lightning had finally fallen in his direction which Yu Suya blocked with her physique. The first lightning struck Yu Suya directly, burning her white fur to black. As expected the lightning tribulation is too powerful even for someone with a royal grade bloodline.

Yu Suya fell to the ground, breaking the ice dome the Qi Siblings made to protect the group. Qi Lanyu worriedly catches her lover while Lan She runs with her to heal Yu Suya.

Her white tiger physique is enough to block one lightning but it also left her badly injured. Thankfully, Lan She is a Valkyrie. Once he awakened his bloodline he activated a healing dome for the group. Yu Suya was getting healed faster than using healing orbs.

Qi Lanyu with tears in her eyes, "Honey! Are you okay?"

"I'm alright. The healing domain is healing me. I would be completely healed in a few minutes. Don't cry darling!" said Yu Suya as she gently wipes her lover's tears.

Lan She who was helping cure Yu Suya commented, "Your bloodline is not bad. If you got hit a few more times by the lightning tribulation your bloodline would upgrade you to a beast G.o.d."

"I will block the next two tribulations for you guys. Protect my family for me," said Yu Suya.

Lan She unhesitatingly agreed, "Deal. As long as you guys help us with this tribulation I would ask the boss to sign that contract you guys wanted to ask of us."

"Are you able to make the whole decision for your group?" asked Qi Lanyu.

Lan She replied, "I can't but my Lord's words are absolute in this group."

"Is your boss, Player Abyss?" asked Qi Lanyu.

Lan She shook his head and said, "No, my lord is Lord Abyss's Wife, Lord Hei."

When Yu Suya heard Lan She's Lord's ident.i.ty, she agreed without question and said, "I agree with this deal."

Qi Lanyu reacted by contrasting what Yu Suya had said, "No! The word we need is from Lord Abyss himself. The others' promises are not useful."

When Qi Lanyu said this, Chu Mo and the rest looked at her like an idiot. Qi Yun even overheard Zane murmuring a few words which shocked him.

Zane muttered, 'Stupid woman. The one with absolute authority in our group is not the big boss but the big boss' s wife.'

Qi Yun scolded his sister and said, "Lanyu, that's enough. Suya already agreed." Then he looked at Lan She and said, "I agree to the deal as well."

Lan She nodded his head and said, "Good. Prepare yourself. There are still 35 hits remaining!"
