Chapter 233 A Moment Between Life and Death

"what happens!?"

"???"

"Why can't I see anything?"

Is my screen the only one experiencing a black screen, or is everyone experiencing this?

"Oh, I'm relieved that no one can see it. I thought I was blind, but no way! Let me see!"

"Open the door! Open the door! Let me in!"

"Damn, they pull this at the crucial moment? What kind of 'stop-the-inch play' is this?!"

"Refund! Refund! Refund!"

Countless viewers who were focused on Ning Feng's perspective went into a frenzy at this moment.

One second they were marveling at the touching relationship between the Skeleton King Leinhardt and his chief guard, and the Ghost Queen's heartbreaking farewell, but the next second they could see nothing at all.

The last thing they saw was the blood-red eyes of the Ghost Queen, now a crimson phantom.

After that, their perspective seemed to be directly destroyed by an invisible force, and they could see nothing at all.

The screen went completely black!

It's like those well-produced videos that are free at the beginning, but start charging for the exciting parts.

But the key point is that we're not refusing to pay!

Let's see!

Moreover, it wasn't just Ning Feng's perspective; among the remaining two hundred contestants who persisted in the entire world, over ninety percent of their perspectives were affected to varying degrees.

An inexplicable force destroyed their vision.

All of them experienced varying degrees of black screen, and many, like Ning Feng, were completely invisible. Only a few, who had always been huddled in remote villages, still had a clear view.

This can definitely be considered a very serious broadcasting accident.

As the organizers, Jasmine's family must have been the last thing they wanted to see.

For Jaslin's family, who have hosted so many years of the Star Chaser competition, this is a very, very low-level problem that should never have happened.

But it still happened, and after so much time has passed, there has been no response or explanation, and it seems there is no intention to make any changes or remedies in the short term.

After all, this competition involves quite a few things, and it could even be said to have affected part of Jasmine's family's influence.

However, on the cruise ship at this moment, Keynes was unusually calm, showing no signs of any turmoil or unexpected situation.

But if you look closely, you'll notice something different: he no longer plays with the gold coins in his hand, but holds them tightly.

Keynes, with his muscles tense, also seemed a little nervous.

He coughed lightly, his voice as steady as ever, and said softly:

"Please don't worry, everyone, everything is going according to plan."

Everything is going according to plan.

"That being, is it a fallen [Ascensionist]? This power..."

It is unknown which legend's words prompted other legends to begin pondering this question.

If a fallen god can still possess such immense power, just how strong are living gods?

Those present were all legends, powerful individuals who had experienced various battles and faced all sorts of enemies. They knew very well what level a legend could reach.

It is obvious that the battle just now clearly went beyond that scope.

If simply relying on a projection medium can achieve legendary status, allowing for manipulation and influence over the world, then what if…

"No, that's not the real problem..."

While he remained skeptical and silent about other legends, the legend of the blue-eyed man, having guessed part of the truth, thought even more deeply.

Why can't I see it anymore?

If you have a clear idea, the reasoning behind it is easy to imagine.

If that power truly involved anything beyond the legendary realm, then Augustus would have had no reason to participate.

It's definitely not that simple!

For beings of his level, the clearest and most straightforward path to further advancement is to step into the realm of gods.

In other words, in the world where the contestants live...

The gods have descended.

That fallen god should have been firmly established in the realm of gods in terms of rank.

There is a truth in this world: [Never look directly at the gods].

Any attempt to spy or speculate about the divine, or to try to observe the divine in any way without the divine's permission, will be known by the divine.

They will sense this spying and respond accordingly.

If one's own strength is insufficient to withstand this, it is impossible to truly understand their existence.

Their very existence is pollution.

Of course, this is different from them establishing a church of gods and actively spreading their own doctrines to preach.

One way is to actively make the world aware of oneself in order to gain faith; the other is to be passively made known.

But what remains the same is that the decision-making power has always been in the hands of the gods.

Since the other party is a deity, it is reasonable that the light barrier has no way to observe this matter.

"Beyond legends, the path of gods..."

He may very well want to become a modern-day god!

Augustus wanted to be deified!

If we think about it further... a figure of Augustus's caliber must know even more secrets about those who ascend to godhood.

Why hasn't a new god emerged in these thousand years?

Is it because the conditions are not met?

Or have they actually been trying in secret all along, but all of them failed?

So why are they continuing this now? Does this mean that Augustus and his people have found a new method?

"For example..."

Instead.

The moment this thought appeared, it rapidly expanded in Blue-Eyed Legend's mind, and he felt more and more that this was the right answer.

Yes.

Why bother actively creating things? Isn't it better to reap without sowing?

Since we can't create things on our own, we should replace them.

In this Kingdom of Laiyin, isn't the existence of that god, who is repeatedly mentioned, a perfect candidate?

But there is still one question that Blue Eyes Legend cannot stop thinking about.

Why would Augustus make such a high-profile statement about something like this?

He not only made it known to almost everyone through the Star Chaser competition hosted by Jaslin's family, but he also made a very high-profile appearance here.

Shouldn't he quietly wait until this matter is successful before showing his strength?

Why do he have to do this? What is he after?

Is it because of arrogance? Or because of not being afraid of being discovered?

And another question is, where did those participants who withdrew from the competition go?

What role do the contestants play in their plan...? Are they sacrifices?!

……

The more Blue-Eyed Legend pondered, the stronger his sense of danger became; he simply couldn't stop speculating and pondering.

Just as he was about to lose his composure, a large hand silently patted his shoulder.

!

!

He turned his head abruptly and found that the person next to him was not looking at him; his old friend had been observing the surroundings.

Red-Haired Legend remained calm and composed, speaking in a hushed, encrypted manner unique to the two of them:

"What's wrong with you? You're doing your old tricks again. Don't overthink things, it's no use."

The Blue-Eyed Legend's talent is his ability to sense danger, which also makes him prone to overthinking.

"I've noticed something's not right, but don't worry too much. With me here, nothing will go wrong. If you and I team up, we'll definitely be able to escape."

Blue-Eyed Legend paused for a moment, then blinked.

He suddenly remembered that his old friend, who was usually carefree and seemed completely innocent, could be very reassuring in crucial moments.

The other person is also someone who is very sensitive to death.

The two of them became friends through their repeated brushes with death, and their friendship gradually developed.

Yeah, what's there to be nervous about?

It seems they've lived a comfortable life for too long, and are actually feeling panicked by this situation.

Isn't this exactly the same as before?

There's absolutely nothing to worry about.

He smiled, feeling relieved, and patted Red-Haired Legend on the shoulder, replying:

"Yes, there's nothing to worry about anymore."

Red-Haired Legend grinned and said:
