Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 369: Chapter 208: He Yi’s Resentment

He Yun’s trembling voice when she asked the question indicated that she had already guessed who the human stake in the Stone Coffin was.

He Yun and her brother each held a Desire Stone. With He Yun still holding hers, the conclusion of who lay in the Stone Coffin was obvious.

Wu Chang reached out and embraced He Yun’s shoulder. He opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

He couldn’t very well say, ”You siblings really have a telepathic connection, you’ve both come to the same idea.”

He originally thought He Yun would need some time to adjust her emotions. Even if she didn’t break down crying, she should at least shed a tear or two out of gesture.

Unexpectedly, He Yun’s trembling only lasted a few seconds before she quickly calmed down and stood up from the ground.

Wu Chang looked up at He Yun’s profile, a face extremely serious, showing no signs of joy or sorrow.

”No, I can’t stop here. I must resolve all of this. I can’t let their sacrifices be for nothing.”

He Yun lowered her head to meet Wu Chang’s gaze and said:

”Everything happening here has exceeded my expectations. If even my brother’s incarnation as a human stake can’t seal the God of Desire in the Divine Hall, then one more of me might not make a difference either.”

”The worst-case scenario is that He has already escaped.”

”I might have to face a God that has broken free soon. I can’t guarantee what will happen next, and your immunity to the Calamity Fog may not remain effective against a God. However, I still want your help. You...”

WU Chang sat up from the ground, leisurely brushed the dust off his pants, and if He Yun couldn’t see it, he really wanted to show her the colorful Title floating above his head at the moment.

Do you understand what ”Blasphemer” means?

God? I’ll defy any God!

”I’ve already said it many times; no matter what you do, I will accompany you to the last step. Even if in the end there’s only one person in the world left standing by your side, it will definitely be me.”

Wu Chang’s words were not idle talk. After all, that Title ”Blasphemer” wasn’t something you could get easily. If there was only one person left in the world who dared to oppose a God, it would be him.

However, it seemed He Yun misunderstood his words.

As if burned by his gaze, He Yun turned to look at the door and said, ”There’s no time to lose, let’s hurry to the room where the Desire Stele is located.”

Following the recovered memory, He Yun led Wu Chang to the main hall of the Divine Hall.

In the center of the main hall stood a massive stele that reached the ceiling, at least 30 meters tall.

The stele was enormous, though each line of wish inscription on the stele was like a pebble on a mountain, the stacked layers of wishes, recorded from top to bottom, extended to within less than half a meter from the ground.

From the countless wishes, it wasn’t difficult to see how the followers who once worshiped the God of Desire indulged in their desires.

On the massive stele, Wu Chang saw countless dry bloodstains.

The bloodstains ranged from deep crimson to bright red. By all logic, blood imbued with Blood-Colored Will would not dissipate if the central wish of its grudge remained unfulfilled.

Yet, no matter how hard Wu Chang tried, he couldn’t see the grudge within the bloodstains on the stele.

In the face of time, even the most unyielding obsessions cannot resist.

Wu Chang’s gaze continued downwards, and at the bottom of the stele, he finally saw a patch of pale red bloodstain.

This bloodstain should belong to He Yun’s brother, the former leader of Underground Shelter 88, He Yi.

No Blood-Colored Will?

Wu Chang was puzzled by the lack of the Will, even Zhuo Jie had Blood-Colored Will at the end, why don’t you?

Where’s your sense of responsibility?

Do I have to tell you that becoming a human stake still didn’t completely seal away the God of Desire, so you just couldn’t bear to leave a Blood-Colored Will behind?

He clicked his tongue, disdainfully thinking He Yi was stingy, before seeing the pale red bloodstain swirl like a vortex and pulling his consciousness into it.

As soon as his vision cleared, he was met with dense fog rolling towards him, while He Yun’s voice came through the earpiece.

”We’re about to step into the Divine Temple, everyone be careful, this temple is far more terrifying than what you’ve seen.”

Good thing he had seen Zhuo Jie’s grudge; otherwise, he might not fully understand the current situation quickly.

The perspective of the grudge started from when everyone was preparing to enter the Stone Temple.

Wu Chang looked towards He Yun, who wasn’t far from his side, confirming that the grudge on the stele originated from He Yi.

Since entering the temple, He Yi’s gaze had constantly focused on He Yun, moving within a few paces of her without leaving her side, making it impossible for Wu Chang to pay attention to anything else happening around them.

Weighing He Yi’s status, although he was the leader of the Underground Shelter, the role he played was not that of a decision-maker, but a Guardian.

In his heart, the person who could truly solve the problem was He Yun.

The development of things followed the same scenes as in Zhuo Jie’s grudge.

Something attacked from within the heavy fog, shattering the protective shields of the squad members. As the shields broke, cries of the squad members came through the earpiece.

”Damn it! There are monsters in the fog!”

”Boss, my protective shield broke, the fog is coming in, and I feel something trying to penetrate into me!”

”Don’t come over here, back off, get out!”

The more dire the situation became, the steadier He Yi’s status was. Wu Chang could tell that even his breathing frequency hadn’t changed, remaining as calm as a machine.

In the next moment, He Yi moved.
