Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 974 It’s not over yet
The raging waves subsided.

Everything Wu Xian saw gradually returned to its true form, and his sense of time returned to normal.

That long minute has finally come to an end.

Wu Xian sat on the ground, still shaken, trying to alleviate the symptoms that resembled severe motion sickness.

"This is the real demon god."

"The Nightmare Lords I encountered before, although they were the limit of evil spirits, were still too weak compared to this thing. They weren't even in the same league."

Just recalling what had just happened, Wu Xian felt short of breath, as if his heart was being gripped by a large hand that was gradually tightening its grip.

"Fortunately, Tai Sui is reliable... I hope he is as good as I have hinted many times."

……

After learning that the Seven Treasures Taoist was the Tai Sui Goddess.

Wu Xian finally understood, or rather thought he understood, the intentions of the Tai Sui God.

This Tai Sui god might feel that he has little chance of winning in the gamble, or perhaps he would rather beat up the evil demon god than win or lose the gamble. Or perhaps, only in this way can the world have a glimmer of hope.

In short, the Tai Sui God wanted to cheat from the very beginning.

Therefore, Shen Longhu warned Wu Xian that if the chess piece violated the rules, the evil god would personally take action.

But if the evil god were to personally intervene, then He would become a 'petty person who regrets his actions'.

There's no need to talk about chivalrous code when dealing with petty people. As for the Tai Sui God, this "true gentleman who observes the game without speaking," there's no need to abide by the saying "immortals have their laws, and gods have their rules."

So the God of Tai Sui imitated the 'Great Han Chess Saint', found an excuse, and directly swung the chessboard, smashing it until the guy's head bled.

Most importantly, the Tai Sui deity happens to be very powerful!
In fact, judging solely from this game of the evil immortals, the Demon God of Calamity was very dedicated and followed the rules.

Therefore, Meng Longtu gained a strategic advantage within the game and used Shen Longhu and others in the water prison to wage a psychological war against Wu Xian.

The third wave of attacks alone had already put Wu Xian under pressure. If they fought normally, each subsequent wave would be stronger than the last, and the final wave would feature a powerful demon possessing all the power of the demon foes and having undergone multiple targeted evolutions.

Therefore, in a normal game, Wu Xian would most likely not be able to win.

Unfortunately, the Tai Sui deity doesn't follow the usual path.

If we view this game between the gods and the evil god as a real-world chess game.

So, the Heavenly Demon God is a young, proud, highly skilled chess player with some ulterior motives. His so-called off-board tactics are at most preparing a few sausages and playing the "old man's tactic" against the older chess player opposite him.

Where is the Tai Sui deity?

He's the kind of player who keeps his eyes glued to his opponent, waiting for them to make even the smallest mistake before reporting it to the referee and launching a "divine move."

Although they don't follow the rules of chess, they can still win.

After deducing this logic, Wu Xian's next step was to find a way to force the Heavenly Demon God to attack him. Therefore, while shouting that he would kill Meng Longtu instantly, Wu Xian used his strongest attack on the Heavenly Demon God.

There was just one thing Wu Xian couldn't understand.

Tai Sui is a deity who controls the power of time. Shouldn't he be the type to devise ingenious strategies and determine the fate of the world? Why would he use such a reckless tactic?

This is something Wu Xian was unaware of.

Although Tai Sui is a god of time, he is not good at advanced mechanisms such as 'time paradox', 'time and fate'.

The so-called annual fortune refers to the Tai Sui deity using force to protect the human world at special times. In essence, it is more warlike than other gods and deities...

……

After a short rest, Wu Xian recovered.

He looked up and saw that a large patch of clouds had dispersed directly above the museum, revealing a clear night sky with twinkling stars and a crescent moon. And what about the museum's ceiling?
At this point, not only is the ceiling gone, but even the museum is gone!

The wrath of the Heavenly Demon God destroyed many things on the ground that should have been indestructible, leaving a thick layer of dust on the ground, which felt very strange underfoot.

There isn't much left over.

The fat corpse compartment at the save point is still intact, where Wu Xian's previous collections are preserved.

There are two large pits on the ground, one leading to the water dungeon and the other to the basement.

In the direction of the Death Gate, there was an execution platform that hadn't been burned down. Liu Nana and Qi Liang were kneeling on the ground, bound hand and foot, with wooden plaques indicating their imminent execution stuck behind their heads. But the skeleton executioner had long since disappeared.

Another flower cocoon was burned, but the inside of the cocoon was intact, and Wang Wei and the other newcomers were still alive.

Furthermore, due to the existence of the 'Time-Increasing Method', the phantom of the Fire-Receiving Heavenly Lord is still there, but it is not as powerful as before.

The temple of the evil god and the statue of the Tai Sui god have both disappeared without a trace, which means that the chess player's attention has been shifted away from this place.

Oh, right, there's one more thing.

Door!
The ceremonial gate that locked Wu Xian and others in the museum still stands.

But it was just a door, because the walls and other things around it were burned down.

Wu Xian jogged to the door, twisted his waist, and jumped.

*Click*, he went out.

Pfft, he's back again!

Beyond the ceremonial gate is a glowing door, beside which float many reward tokens in the void, and inside the door is the verdant Lihentian.

In other words, they can return to the Heaven of Separation without waiting for dawn.

But after playing around for a while, Wu Xian returned to the museum grounds.

He first cut open the cocoon with a knife, and a burst of hot air shot out. The newlyweds, covered in sweat, hurriedly ran out. The ground of the cocoon was a pool of water, and after being heated by the fire, it felt like a sauna inside...

Then Wu Xian released the four people from the execution ground and the prison cage, as they no longer needed these four absolutely safe locations.

Leaving aside Shi Yan and Chen Chao for the time being, Qi Liang and Liu Nana's journey after entering the Death Gate was not entirely smooth sailing either, but they ultimately completed the task assigned by Wu Xian.

After doing all this, Wu Xian stretched his muscles and bones.

He didn't intend to let this blessed land end there, because there were still some things to do and someone to kill.

If these matters are not handled properly, they may affect Wu Xian's mood and the reward he ultimately receives.

……

5:20.

It's time for the fifth wave of attacks.

But Meng Longtu remained holed up in the basement, refusing to send out his demonic minions to continue the gamble.

Because he didn't dare.

Wu Xian's strike at the evil god was completely beyond Meng Longtu's comprehension.

It wasn't because of power, but because of the act of wielding a knife against a malevolent god.

He had completely lost the courage to continue gambling, after all, the evil god he worshipped might be getting a beating somewhere right now...

He wasn't some low-level evil spirit that only acted on instinct, so all he wanted was for Wu Xian and his group to leave quickly.

But Wu Xianke had no intention of letting him go!
He was now standing at the entrance to the basement with Wang Wei and Chen Chao!
