Chapter 388: The Cry of One Man (1/2)
”You really surprise me, Fellow Daoist Cloud Emperor.” Our bored gamer praised the only living soul outside his Fortress of Love.
”And i'm also very appalled by your lack of sympathy, Fellow Daoist Clark Colter. You could have saved them all!” Cloud Emperor roared in loss and grief.
”They have come here to tempt fate itself. I did not force them to go through that fog of war.”
”So their deaths have nothing to do with me at all.” Clark replied frankly.
When they passed through that thick white fog, all the creatures of hell seemed to welcome them with great delight.
And what was more sorrowful was that those myriad of wicked monsters were all above and beyond the Enlightened Realm already.
It was obvious that the 1 trillion party from the 4 outer continents got decimated in the millions in the first breath alone.
In the end, it turned out to be a death march unto a distance of a thousand kilometers.
Normally this would have been easy for them to reach but with them outnumbered and outmatched, every step was a sacrifice of blood.
Only Cloud Emperor survived through the ordeal.
With how he got stronger with the death of his allies and foes through devouring not their blood essence and flesh but a mysterious stat called Luck, Long Delan has surpassed the Immortal Realm strength for a time.
This was only a temporary effect though. It was mere borrowed strength that would dissipate with each passing breath.
”...” The Cloud Emperor has no better retort to offer. He chose to remain silent instead.
”I shall see you around, Cloud Emperor.” Our bored gamer said and brought his 9 million passengers into a world where giant monsters walked amongst with them.

A hundred years later and Clark was already seated in a temple set in the skies. Below him were the prostrating figures of the trillions.
These were the sect leaders and old masters of this entire xianxia world.
”It appears that the fog of war has been caused by a lost artifact of a true god.”
”SIGH!”
”I would have loved to kill a True God once more.” Our bored gamer said his regrets out loud. In the next breath, he also addressed a very close friend of him.
”So... did i pass, partner?” Clark said to the Heavenly Treasure Clay Brick. He has already sent his 4 wives to reincarnate to Earth. Our good gamer was now free to move on.
”DING!”
Power Systems Conquered: 8/50
”Good. Take me to the next challenge, partner!” Our avid gamer requested and he was heard quite fine indeed. Clark saw black and nothing more.

”I grow tired of it all.” a majestic man murmured amidst the emptiness of the void. He stood tall and divine light pierced unto the distance as he surveyed the expanse of his dominion.
The realms he'd conquered and created were innumerable but all the victories seemed fleeting. What he felt was now a longing for something more.
