Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 162: Chapter 18 The Adorable Little Princess’ Joyful Celebration Party

”He died so brutally!” Old Cat exclaimed from below, ”So passionate! I’m too old for this, I really can’t handle it! I’m scared to go!”

Xiao Chenhuan said speechlessly, ”Stop making useless excuses. You’re just lazy! And you hate being bossed around.”

But in the dark video, the scene lit up again: hundreds of thousands of players burst out from the Revival Point to fight, their fighting spirit high and unstoppable, their battle cries ringing loud and clear.

Then, came Young Master’s raised voice accompanied by cheers, ”We scored the kill on the BOSS!”

After Adrian and Hill boarded the golden ship, which sparkled brightly and rose swiftly into the sky, there appeared the various major gangs and groups of Scattered Ones who had participated in the battle. They gathered on the war-torn Black and White Path territory, stood along the hillside, waving their hands, and shouted together, ”We are the best!”

The scene gradually faded out, and a gentle, delicate closing song began to play. Hill listened with a smile, having not heard such music in a long time.

Following the closing song, the rewards King had won on the Black and White Path territory were presented.

Then came the minimum and maximum rewards the participants of this battle could receive.

Hill heard Old Cat cursing softly, regretting he hadn’t gone.

Hill understood. Fran and another hadn’t quite grasped the experience gains, but Hill got it right away.

If Old Cat had gone, even if he hadn’t lasted to the end, the experience gained would have been enough for him to coast through six months of a lazy life without even needing to undertake tasks in Hill Town.

Hill believed that most of those who hadn’t gone and were watching this film would curse as well.

Adrian gently asked Hill, ”Why did they have us?”

”They accepted His Majesty the King’s task to save my life,” Hill also quietly replied, ”So their enemies wanted to kill me to make their task fail.

Our successful escape represents their victory.”

Adrian nodded thoughtfully.

Next was the list of achievements gained by the gang in this battle. After this, Black and White Path, who entered this world a little later than others, finally ranked fourth on the leaderboard, just above Doomsday.

The top three, Magic Cult, Black Rose, and Youth Journey of the Wenjian World, were shown in normal font. However, Black and White Path’s name was magnified, brilliantly highlighted in golden glitter and specifically circled together with Doomsday’s name.

Lastly, Young Master’s name was also enlarged. His top rank on the Level Leaderboard within the PVP guilds was nothing short of a miracle.

Hill noticed one of the reasons William awarded them the rewards. They destroyed the device located here, the Abyssal Gate, ensuring that the legendary Demon could not pass through it for 300 years.

It seemed that the blow full of rage from Pazuzu, known as the Lord of the Sky and the lord of the first level of the Bottomless Abyss, had even damaged the Abyssal Gate.

He quickly pointed this out, joyfully telling Fran and the others, ”The gate on the Abyss side is half-broken, legendary Demons can’t come through it anymore.”

”Is this the Lord of the Abyss, claimed to be stronger than the Deities?” Fran wasn’t very excited, her tone a bit strained.

Hill thought silently, the truly terrifying thing is that such a Lord of the Abyss is merely the ruler of the first layer of the Bottomless Abyss.

Hill always felt fortunate that in a world, whether it falls into the Abyss or not, it’s not determined by the Abyss, but by the hearts of the people in this world.

Hill’s reflection was short-lived, as the cheers intensified and Snow Cloud Peak’s face appeared again.

The celebration was about to begin.

”Let’s cheer for ourselves! We’ve completed a great adventure!” Snow Cloud Peak said with a laugh, ”We entered the Abyss that even Legends dare not touch, where even Deities would die!

We engaged in an exhilarating battle.

We repelled the enemies who had long harbored designs against us.

And we settled long-held grudges!

Rest for these three days. I believe everyone had a good year!” Hill looked up thoughtfully: Do players in this world also celebrate the Chinese New Year?

The camera gradually zoomed out.

The dungeon had been cleaned out, becoming the territory of the Black and White Path.

Although it was dark underground, lit only by the line of light at the top, players had encrusted the entire chamber ceiling with Alchemy crystal lamps.

The fleeting camera shot prevented Hill from seeing what patterns they had embedded, but he could sense the beauty from the glittering fluorescence.

The high walls surrounding the territory had been completely leveled, and beyond the high, splashing fountains, a large flat area had been cleared.

A majestic and imposing Temple stood behind the curtain of water.

The players sat scattered on the slopes below the Lord’s Mansion. Apart from the Lord’s Mansion building, there was nothing else on the hillside.

The players had transformed the entire hillside into an amphitheater using Magic, with stone tables up front and seats at the back, and the ground was filled with distinguished guests and abundant drinks.

Inside the Lord’s Mansion, the Chef Puppets were still making food, and players went in and out, carrying tall platters up to the amphitheater.

The camera turned back to Snow Cloud Peak, who stood on an elevated platform on the ground, behind him a beautiful water curtain; he gently waved, calling over a girl, the diligent artist of Black and White Path.

”The celebration is about to begin!” Snow Cloud Peak said smilingly, ”You don’t need me, an old man, to host this event. These past few days, many people have fervently suggested that they didn’t quite enjoy hearing me speak during the festivities.

But I must say, those people are often the ones who make too many mistakes, which is why they always get scolded by me.

When you see me and feel itchy in your ears, you should first reflect on why you are so foolish!”
