Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 267: Chapter 176: The True Master of the New Cosmos Sect (Part 2)

”This knowledge isn’t passed down from my family. Instead, when I was hiding on the Louis, I witnessed the golden light of a mystical ceremony and after closely encountering the Dragon King, this knowledge naturally appeared in my mind.”

After explaining the source of his knowledge, he asked in return, ”How do you know about the Earthly Divine Kingdom?”

Compared to Wu Chang’s surprise, he was more amazed that Wu Chang, who was almost clueless about mysticism, had actually heard of the Earthly Divine Kingdom.

Wu Chang said, ”I saw it when I was learning to integrate the Mystical Origin into myself.”

This was not incorrect, as he indeed saw the Earthly Divine Kingdom during the first stage of his reincarnation task.

The two exchanged a calm look, then suddenly both smiled sheepishly and tacitly decided not to delve deeper.

These days, if you don’t have a few unspeakable secrets, you’re too embarrassed to even greet people.

Discovering that the New Cosmos Sect had laid out an Earthly Divine Kingdom, Cui Chengze’s expression became much more serious. He said:

”I don’t know how much you understand about the Earthly Divine Kingdom or if you’ve witnessed the scene after its formation, but I need to tell you, once this ceremony is completed, it will invoke the Divine Power. With our mere mortal strength, we cannot reclaim the passengers on the ship from the Gods.”

”And once a God descends, all preparations will be in vain. We will all tremble and go mad under the great power of the God until we collapse.”

Wu Chang silently shook his head lightly. Can mortals really not resist the Gods?

Leaving aside himself, the Secret Magic Knight Order, which had gouged out one of Leman’s eyes, would be the first to disagree.

However, he did not dwell on resisting the Gods, instead, he asked, ”So what do you plan to do?”

Cui Chengze gazed at the mystical nodes in the cockpit, his eyes rapidly scanning as if looking at all areas at once, yet his expression was unusually calm, as if he had become a humanoid robot.

After about half an hour, Cui Chengze suddenly closed his eyes, rubbing his sore eyes with his hands.

Wu Chang winced as he watched, relieved that Cui Chengze stopped, worried that if he continued a few more minutes, the old man might pop his eyes out.

Cui Chengze paused for a few minutes, took eye drops out from his pocket, and used half a bottle in one go before heaving a sigh of relief and saying:

”I’ve thought of a way.”

Wu Chang cooperatively asked, ”What way?”

Cui Chengze said, ”I want to merge the array you used to absorb the Mystical Origin with the Earthly Divine Kingdom, and the moment the New Cosmos Sect leads us out of the Shipwreck Belt, I will activate the array again, swallowing the entire essence of the Earthly Divine Kingdom.”

Wu Chang first nodded, then felt something was amiss and asked, ”Will absorbing the essence of the Earthly Divine Kingdom affect me?”

Cui Chengze suddenly closed his originally open eyes, turned his face slightly, and stiffly said, ”No effect.”

Wu Chang: ”Look at me and say that again.”

Cui Chengze: ”My eyes hurt, can’t open them.”

Wu Chang: ”Then I’ll wait for you to open them.”

The two stalemated for half a minute before Cui Chengze couldn’t help but say, ”Actually, it’s no big deal. It’s just that you’ve taken the offering from the God, and the God worshipped by the New Cosmos Sect might hold a grudge against you. As long as you eliminate the New Cosmos Sect afterward, preventing them from contacting the God again, it’ll be no big issue.”

Wu Chang heaved a sigh of relief. With Leman’s two eyeballs in his hand, and having thwarted many of his plans, they were long-time mortal enemies. Would he care about such a thing?

”Is that it? I thought absorbing too much energy would give me indigestion. Then indeed, it’s no issue.”

Cui Chengze: ...

No, buddy, compared to angering a God, is indigestion what troubles you more?

Cui Chengze felt that after interacting with Wu Chang for a while, he too was beginning to become strange, thus he ended the topic and focused on setting up Wu Chang’s reincarnation ceremony.

To avoid raising suspicion from the New Cosmos Sect, Cui Chengze perfectly integrated the mystical instruments he set up into the Earthly Divine Kingdom ceremony. Wu Chang, relying on Inspiration over a hundred, could barely notice a trace of discord. For anyone else, it would be hard to spot any flaw.

Just from this maneuver, it was evident that Cui Chengze’s mysticism acumen surpassed that of ordinary mysticism masters.

Wu Chang spent an entire day, following Cui Chengze to complete the most critical nodes in the reincarnation ceremony. The remaining parts of the ceremony mostly existed in ordinary locations on the Star Jump, not requiring Wu Chang to appear, but just his shadow to ensure Cui Chengze’s safety.

After finishing a day’s setup, when Wu Chang returned to his room, he found the last person who wanted to join his faction waiting at the door.

The two entered the study, with Wu Chang sitting behind the desk, examining the player in front of him.

He was a young man with dark skin, a sturdy build, and a simple appearance, with a ”rosy highland” on his complexion caused by prolonged exposure to the sun and wind. Neither handsome nor ugly, if anything, he was two words.

Standard.

He seemed to be born with the standard appearance of a fisherman. Regardless of gender or age, upon seeing him, one would immediately have the feeling that he was undoubtedly a young fisherman.

For this reason, the man’s code name was Fisherman.

Among the four who sought him out that day, Fisherman was the fourth. His strength was weaker than Shadow and Great White Shark. Judging by ability alone, Wu Chang wasn’t inclined to let Fisherman join, but after noticing a certain trait in Fisherman, he decided to give him a chance.
