Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 730: Chapter 365: A Suspicious Gift

”What is that?”

”Such a giant head, is it a monster invasion?”

”Oh shit! Is a special scenario about to unfold? Is the big plot finally coming? It was worth taking on the mission to come here.”

”Exactly, if they don’t start the big plot, this game is getting boring. Running dungeons every day and can’t find a single special mission.”

”Such a big crack, did that monster tear the sky apart?”

”Don’t worry, with Lord Baiyi here, nothing will happen, it won’t....”

”But I feel like I’ve seen this thing somewhere?”

”Really? Where?”

”The teaser from Star side, seems to be the Abyss!”

”Uh, don’t say it, you really shouldn’t say it....”

”The Three Great Federations; the Abyss has locked on Star, the Ancient Gods are eyeing the other three regions, could that damn teaser be wrong again?”

The discussions rose in the city, players’ anticipation and excitement were palpable.

The residents’ unease and fear were continually spreading, while prayers and faith were congregating.

These positive or negative emotions were as clear as candlelight in the night within Baiyi’s perception, illuminating the entire Dongwu City.

Each Transcendent was ready and waiting, quietly looking at the sky—more precisely, at Baiyi in the sky—awaiting the City Lord’s actions.

Especially those modified Blood Evil troops at the Light Whisper Base; strands of red appeared in their eyes, waiting for a command from the high figure in the sky, ready to charge without hesitation towards the crack from the Abyss.

Baiyi raised his hand, and a protection barrier enveloped the entire Celestial City.

He carefully scrutinized the head, its diameter was nearly fifty meters, and it was over sixty meters long.

And the crack behind the head....

The Abyss!

Pu Sheng?

Baiyi frowned slightly, as a strong sense of pull disappeared, and the giant head began to fall towards Dongwu City without any Transcendent fluctuation assisting it.

Baiyi just watched quietly, making no movements.

Pu Sheng wasn’t dead, that was certain, otherwise, the rebellious offspring from the Abyss wouldn’t have resolved themselves so quickly.

But...

There’s Divine Inscription, and then there’s the head of a Giant Statue. What is he up to?

As the Giant Statue drew closer, some powdery substances appeared around Baiyi, shooting up to cover the head.

No curse, no poison...

Baiyi raised his hand, a vast Spiritual Power surged out, immobilizing the head, and after examining it with Divine Level Spiritual Power, Baiyi found nothing out of place.

He decisively stored away the Giant Statue’s head.

No matter what Pu Sheng’s intention was, as long as the Giant Statue’s remains were intact, storing them properly was certainly the correct move.

With these things, he could start repairing the Giant Statue this year; whether God descends, or shortly after, the Giant Statue could stabilize Dawn in the situation of the Ancient Gods’ descent.

As long as there’s time... Dawn can create miracles.

As the Giant Statue’s head disappeared, the tension and fear in Dongwu City also began to dissipate.

Yet the enormous crack in the sky didn’t seem to show any sign of closing.

Baiyi rose higher, gradually approaching the purple crack, within which a few scarlet eyes were peering outside.

Desire, greed, violence, lust, hunger...

Eyes filled with intense negative emotions slowly locked onto Baiyi, attempting to deeply imprint his appearance.

Baiyi ignored those eyes, carefully studying the spatial structure, he frowned.

”Your purpose.”

Within the spatial structure, there were faint traces of Divine Abomination’s aura, making the owner of this Giant Statue’s head event quite evident.

Silence.

Aside from the howling wind in the high altitude, there was no other sound.

Meanwhile, the crack in the sky began to close slowly.

Pu Sheng did not show himself, but Baiyi became aware of his presence.

Baiyi closed his eyes briefly, feeling some trouble coming; he had a premonition that the Divine Inscription was a gift from Charles.

Although there was no evidence, this feeling from Baiyi was very strong.

And this gift from an arch-enemy made him uneasy; there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

Even rewards from the panel require the words ’mission successful.’

After a brief silence, Baiyi turned around and returned to Dongwu City directly.

Instead of dwelling on unanswered questions here, it’s better to continue the reconstruction, directly beginning the Giant Statue creation when the Dual Sages arrive.

”Zero, commence preparations for manufacturing the Giant Statue, maintain the current status of Dongwu City, and collect all the remaining materials for the Giant Statue.”

”Issue a Legendary order to the council, Federation top management is fully supporting the Giant Statue preparation work, no top management will profit from this support.”

”This time, it’s not business.”

Zero: [Order has been issued.]

Meanwhile, at the other end of Dongwu City, a member of the Guard Brigade withdrew his gaze, walking into a room filled with books.

He looked at the video call on the forum, a hint of seriousness in his eyes: ”Seems like my guess was right, Unos, how’s it going on your end?”

”Not bad, about the same as with Seoli, but progress can only go so far. To the Star Federation, a little crisis doesn’t require much documentation.”

Unos flipped through the documents, his tone somewhat gentle: ”However, I found something.”

He adjusted the focus a bit, placing it on the materials in front of him: ”The injury of the God of Destiny might have originated from a higher-level entity; when the mightiest God was injured, there weren’t even any battle aftermaths.”

”And it seemed like all Gods were notified by someone, in the three natural days of Xia, every God issued an Oracle.”
