Chapter 105: No One Scores
Soon enough, the time for the Card Competition was up. Wei Huo had to participate in the competition. His card creation skill had broken through to level 20 and reached the level-three Rare rank. At this stage, upgrading his skill level was going to be tough.
However, Wei Huo considered the term ‘Adventurer’.
One day in the sky, 100 days on the ground, and 200 years of micro-adjustment would pass soon. Then, the Adventurers would descend!
This was a strange concern.
Wei Huo was still feeling a little worried.
“Why do they use the word ‘descend’?” Wei Huo mumbled to himself.
The convention began and the audience seats were filled. The host said loudly to boost the atmosphere, “This once-in-a-century Card Competition has finally begun! The total number of players participating in this competition is one. We will use a cruel elimination system. Only the strongest player will defeat a strong enemy and reach the top!”
The crowd started cheering.
The host added, “This is going to be an exciting competition. One player will have an intense card battle during this competition. The loser will be eliminated in each round until the champion is decided!”
Wei Huo could not help but ask, “What’s going on?”
His worry was washed away by the humorous host. How intense could a one-player competition be? Besides, there were many spectators.
Many audience members said, “I’m really looking forward to it. I heard that this will be the most exciting match ever.”
“Yes! I’m ready to stay up late to watch it!”
“You guys have no idea how much effort I made to get this ticket!”
Wei Huo was confused.
However, there was only one player in this game!
Wei Huo felt out of place. He had the feeling that since everyone was either a god or a human, and both kinds were NPCs or players, he should not care.
However, he felt uncomfortable knowing that they were all humans who were connected to each other in a lot of ways.
Wei Huo thought of a movie called ‘The Matrix’. Everything the world saw in that movie was fake. Only the protagonists knew the truth and saved everyone.
However... The host was quite humorous, and so was the audience.
The host picked up the microphone and said, “I hereby announce... the beginning of the competition!”
The crowd went wild as it cheered.
However, the host did not continue. He stood there for three seconds. After the audience’s voices subsided, he picked up the microphone again and said, “I hereby announce... the end of the competition! The champion is Wei Huo!”
The crowd burst into thunderous applause. Everyone started shouting, “Wei Huo! Wei Huo!”
Some audience members said, “This ticket was really worth it. Exciting competitions like this are rare!”
“That’s right! That’s right! Did you guys watch the competition just now? It was really exciting. It was probably the most exciting competition in history, right?”
“Stop talking. From now on, Wei Huo will be my fan... No, I was wrong. My fan will be Wei Huo... That doesn’t seem right either.”
Wei Huo was speechless.
The actors were so funny that they wanted to make fun of the players.
However, Wei Huo did not laugh.
“Quest complete. You have received 30 Divine Realm Reputation Points, three Random Epic-ranked cards, and one slot to enter the Divine Ruins.”
The host bowed before everyone. “Thank you for your support. Thank you for this exciting competition!”
Wei Huo blurted out, “Did no one complain about the three-second match?”
No...
At that thought, Wei Huo’s imposing aura suddenly spread out uncontrollably. Everyone who was shrouded by it felt a suffocating pressure and deep loneliness within their hearts.
The system immediately sent a notification. “It has been detected that the player has turned on a cheat. This is a warning: If the cheat is not turned off within 3 seconds, a level-one anti-cheating processing system will be triggered.”
The imposing aura was over 170 meters tall by now, so it was twice as large as before.
Wei Huo’s aura grew stronger on the surface, but Wei Huo himself was confused. Why did it become stronger when I did not do anything? Am I the kind of cultivator who can gain strength through enlightenment? Or perhaps, the more loneliness one endures, the stronger one becomes?
Wei Huo put away the imposing aura. However, not everyone in the audience was back to normal. Some people were clapping, while others were cheering. Meanwhile, some people looked confused. They mumbled to themselves, “I’m not feeling well. I think I better go back early!”
Wei Huo was confused by their behavior. At the same time, he speculated that it was possible for anyone to awaken their powers. However, did someone need to help them a little?
A system notification popped up. “Will you be entering the Divine Ruins?”
Wei Huo thought about it and eventually chose ‘Yes’.
The Divine Realm seemed like it wanted Wei Huo to know what it wanted to say and what it wanted to express. The time halt was about to be over. The future of mankind was in the hands of a few people, and he was one of them.
A moment later, a white light descended and Wei Huo was teleported into a new space. As soon as he entered this place, Wei Huo activated the imposing aura. He was worried that countless monsters would attack him once he entered the Divine Ruins.
However, to his surprise, no monsters attacked him after he entered the Divine Ruins. There was only white space around him. There was nothing else. Everything was white.
Could the Divine Ruins still be under construction?
Wei Huo’s imposing aura expanded indefinitely. It had been more than three seconds, but the cheat detection system had not been activated and the anti-exile system had not appeared.
There was nothing. It seemed as if he had come to a world outside the game and ran outside the map.
The Divine Ruins had yet to be built. There was not even a gate. God probably had not expected someone to come to the ruins at this moment.
Here was the question: Since there was nothing, not even a portal, how could Wei Huo go back?
Wei Huo put his armor in his inventory. A fist-sized baby appeared in the air.
Wei Huo’s spiritual body was still shrinking, but his spiritual energy did not change. It made his spiritual body more solid.
Without the game system’s interference, Wei Huo’s imposing aura radiated wantonly. The space was empty all around him. Nothing existed.
Never mind the NPCs. Even the game itself had disappeared...
There was no time or space, and everything was white. There was no need to think, no need to do anything. He just continued sleeping forever...
Just as Wei Huo was about to enter a lost state, something from afar barged into his imposing aura.
It seemed as if ripples were created in this quiet sea of consciousness, and thoughts were born.
A moment later, the imposing aura shrank. The creature that had accidentally entered Wei Huo’s imposing aura was immediately enveloped by it. The imposing aura was like a spider web that had grabbed its prey. What was more impressive than the spider web was that the imposing aura also took the initiative to catch the prey in front of Wei Huo.
This was a young Divine Beast that could not move against Wei Huo’s imposing aura.
Wei Huo was confused. Where was this place? Why was there a Divine Beast there?
Soon, Wei Huo saw a large group of God Destroyers heading in one direction. The one leading them was a Legendary-level God Destroyer!
Wei Huo suddenly knew where he was.
Void Realm, periphery of the Divine Realm.
He flew in the direction the Legendary beasts were heading toward. Before long, Wei Huo saw a gigantic, wide platform built with unknown materials. The platform floated in the Void Realm, and the other end continued extending into the interior of a huge golden barrier.
The Divine Beasts’ target was this barrier. They attacked the barrier crazily while countless Divine Warriors rushed out of the barrier and fought against the Divine Beasts.
However, Wei Huo’s appearance changed everything. His imposing aura engulfed the platform in an instant. In the Void Realm, Wei Huo felt that his imposing aura did not seem to have any limitations that could extend indefinitely. Against his imposing aura, all the creatures below the Legendary rank, including God Destroyers and Divine Soldiers, were trembling. Their willpower was influenced by Wei Huo’s boundless loneliness!
“What is this?”
“I’ve never encountered such a situation in years of battles!”
“Is that a Divine Beast-Destroying Technique?”
Wei Huo was a little surprised. He realized that the Thinking Locks in the soldiers’ minds seemed to have lost their effect. It seemed like everyone had regained their freedom in the outside world.
