Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"What exactly does 'more important' mean?"

Tianyue walked out of the hut and came to the stone tablet. She reached out and touched the third line of text on it.

Another memory flooded into her mind, a memory completely different from any of her other lives, a very special memory.

A naive young swordswoman meets a swordsman she admires and becomes his disciple. Her master abandons everything for the one he loves and leaves her. With grief, she takes on the responsibility of saving the world and finally defeats the guy who tried to destroy the world, but she also chooses to end her own life.

She has completed her mission and saved everything, so she can now follow her master in death.

This memory is the only one that evoked any emotion in her, making it far more precious than any other memory she had known before.

From the moment of her birth, she possessed a mission that allowed her to evolve into a more perfect and powerful self through countless reincarnations, ultimately defeating Wei.

Threatening the existence of this world...

Chapter 341 Strange Movements in the Endless Abyss

Area near the entrance to the Endless Abyss

The 30-strong army assembled by the Holy See has arrived here. This is a dense forest area, not suitable for a large army to march through.

Therefore, the army had no choice but to set up camp in an open area and then send scouts to explore the woods.

Monet glanced at the grove of trees, sensing a terrible danger lurking within, but this was just a feeling; she needed more information from the scouts.

“Your Holiness…” The nuns who were responsible for accompanying Monet came over. “You’ve been on a long journey, let’s go to the camp and rest first.”

Monet nodded and followed the nuns back to the camp to rest.

Snowfeather Guild Territory

Qin Yu returned without saying a word. Yin Feixue learned about the situation from Luna and was also deeply surprised by the matter of Hei Ye and Tian Yue. She never thought that such a thing existed in the world, the strongest swordsman who was undergoing endless reincarnation.

"Why does Master have to endure all this?"

This was a question that Qin Yu couldn't understand. If fate had chosen her, was fate too cruel to place such an extraordinary burden on someone who was originally an ordinary person?

"Xiaoyu".

Yin Feixue found Qin Yu and sat down quietly beside him.

“Xiaoxue, I feel it’s very unfair. Master has to bear too much. It’s clear that none of those things were her own choice, but were forced upon her. No one asked her if she was willing.”

A large part of Qin Yu's reclusiveness stemmed from his indignation on behalf of Black Night Sword Saint and Tian Yue. Both Black Night Sword Saint and Tian Yue shared a common trait: they did not know where they came from or where they were going.

Once their time is up, they will forget everything and enter a new cycle of reincarnation, which is extremely cruel for them.

"Indeed, I often have this question too: why did fate choose you, Xiaoyu, and make you suffer all of this?"

Yin Feixue felt that Hei Ye and Tian Yue had a lot in common with Qin Yu, and Qin Yu also carried many burdens that he shouldn't have to bear.

Qin Yu was just an ordinary person, but everything about him changed after he got involved in the game "Destiny Paradise".

“No, Xiaoxue…” Qin Yu denied Yin Feixue’s statement, “Actually, it wasn’t fate that chose me, but I who chose it. Up until now, I have been fighting entirely out of my own will, but Master doesn’t know why she exists or why she fights…”

It is a terrible thing if a person does not know why they live; they will fall into endless confusion and become like a walking corpse.

"In my past life, after I received all of my master's inheritance, my goal was to win the game and become a god. I hope to find a way to revive you, Xiaoxue."

"But when I won and was about to become a god, I learned that even if I became a god, I couldn't save you. I felt that everything I had was meaningless..."

If there was a time when Qin Yu was most disheartened, it was when he fought his whole life and finally learned that the answer he was seeking did not exist.

"When the river of fate said I could exchange a divine position for a chance to start over, my hope was rekindled, and from that moment on, I found my purpose again..."

"After I found Xiaoxue, I wanted to become stronger, to be able to protect Xiaoxue, and to avoid all the tragedies of my past life. Now, my goal has become how to help humanity survive in this game of fate..."

Human goals are ever-changing; different goals emerge at each stage, and this is what constitutes a person's life.

However, Hei Ye and Tian Yue did not have this. They spent their entire lives without knowing what they were doing. Even the goals of becoming the strongest swordsman and becoming the savior of the world were not something they wanted to do.

“Xiaoyu…” Yin Feixue did not expect Qin Yu to react so strongly. She looked at Qin Yu silently and did not say anything more. She knew that Qin Yu did it for her, and that alone was enough.

After a long silence, Yin Feixue spoke again: "Xiaoyu, if your master is burdened with things that don't belong to her, then we will help her resolve all of this, so that we can also liberate her."

Qin Yu turned his head. Yin Feixue's words made sense. The burden imposed on Hei Ye and Tian Yue should be completed by Qin Yu and the others. Originally, all of this was to be done by Qin Yu and the humans.

"These are our responsibilities, so let us take responsibility for them."

Outside the entrance to the Endless Abyss

The evil god's minions lurking in this forest were in no hurry to attack the scouts. To them, the scouts were very useful pawns; if used properly, they could wipe out the 30-strong army of the Holy See.

A 30-man reconnaissance squad entered the treacherous forest and quickly spread out to search for information.

However, this forest was very strange. Not only were there no demons or evil gods, but there weren't even any wild beasts, which really puzzled them.

One scout has already gone back to report on the first phase of the reconnaissance; the rest of the men continue to explore further.

The five-person team arrived near a strange lake. What should have been a shimmering lake was actually black, as if it were filled with sludge.

"This thing, I always feel like it's..."

Where have I seen you before?

A scout suddenly recalled what the black water looked like.

"Could it be the black water from before?"

The other one immediately understood what the scout had said.

"That can't be right, shouldn't the black water have disappeared by now?"

According to their information, Blackwater had already been wiped out in the last battle. Could there still be any survivors?

"No matter what, this information is very important, and we must go back and report it."

After making sure there were no other abnormalities in the surroundings, the five people immediately retreated, but they had already been spotted by Blackwater Lake.

As they turned to retreat, black liquid tentacles emerged from the Blackwater Lake and swiftly reached for the five scouts.

"There's movement!"

The unusual movement in the surrounding bushes alerted one of the scouts, and suddenly black tentacles surrounded them.

"Damn it, send a signal!"

The scouts prepared to release a flash of light to warn the others of the enemy, but the tentacles wouldn't give them the chance. They swiftly blocked out the surrounding space, isolating the five men within it. A flash of light exploded in front of them, temporarily blinding them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tentacles contracted the space, strangling the five people inside, and then dragged their corpses back into the Blackwater Lake, causing a ripple.

After a while

Whoosh!

Suddenly, arms emerged from the black lake, and the five humans climbed out again, but now they were behaving strangely...

Chapter 342 The Crisis in the Forest

In the encampment of the Holy See's army

The scouts' reports continued to reach the camp, but so far no unusual activity had been found in the woods.

Shortly afterward, the last five scouts returned, and none of the 30 scouts went missing, temporarily proving that there was nothing dangerous in the woods, but it was also possible that the creatures hiding in the woods were deliberately not revealing themselves.

Regardless, they must remain highly vigilant during tomorrow's march, and the army began to rest and reorganize on the spot.

Monet had great doubts about the results of the investigation, since it was strange in itself that no information was found.

But the information she received from several investigators was the same, so she had no choice but to find out the truth when she conducted a large-scale search of the woods tomorrow.

Into the night

The five scouts began their operation as night fell, first by contaminating the water source, black water spilling from their bodies into the water reserves of the Holy See army.

This trace of black water will not turn the water source black; it merely resides there. When the time is right, it will fully manifest, and those humans who drink the black water will be controlled by the power of the evil god.

In the endless abyss, the Evil God King had gradually become familiar with the power of the Black Water God. No wonder the Black Water God was so powerful back then; what about that Evil God who was even more powerful than the Black Water God...?

"As long as I win the final victory, I will gain power far surpassing those evil gods. I can't wait!"

The greater the power he gained, the stronger the evil god king's desire for victory became, and his almost frantic shouts echoed through the endless abyss.

Astral realm on the other side of the universe

The Star God, lurking here, has sensed the changes in the Evil God King. However, he is not dissatisfied with the Evil God King for not following his wishes. On the contrary, he is happy to see the Evil God King like this.

“Foolish fellow, you think you can surpass the great Savior?”

In the deep sea of ​​the main world, in the ruins of the entrance to the deep-sea kingdom, in a place that ordinary people would never notice, lies the body of a terrifying creature. Countless octopuses dwell here, sensing the presence of their kind.

Snowfeather Guild Territory

When Qin Yu learned of the Holy See's deployment of troops, he immediately felt that something was amiss.

"The Church of Light is sending the Holy See to lead the charge. It's possible that all 30 of the Holy See's troops will perish there."

Although Qin Yu had never fought the Evil God King, judging from the performance of those evil gods, the Evil God King was definitely not an ordinary person. If he rashly went out to help, he would only die a terrible death. If he did not go to help, something bad might really happen.

"Xiaoxue, let's go. The Holy See of Light may be in trouble."

"Hmm, should we bring all the troops with us?"

"No need for now, just bring the Star Army, and let Hikari and the others come along. The rest of you can stay in the territory..."

Qin Yu had his reasons for making this arrangement. If they couldn't even win in terms of equipment, then sending others along would just be a pointless suicide mission.

"However, we can gather the armies of other forces to attack the Endless Abyss."

The strength of other forces is still very necessary. Eliminating the last evil god king is a crucial step, and the more powerful forces the better.

So Qin Yu sent invitations to the forces in the main world and even to the various kingdoms of gods.

The Snowfeather Guild territory had already assembled its army, preparing to march towards the entrance of the Endless Abyss.

-

As the sun began to shine into the army camp in the early morning, soldiers gradually emerged from their tents to prepare for assembly.

Monet also groggily woke up from her dream. She had several nightmares yesterday and didn't know why. Was it some kind of ominous sign?
