Chapter 1341 Different Game?

Tang Shaoyang returned to the underground lab with Zara at midnight. The gate was still connected to the other world, and it seemed the gate was stable.

Naten stayed up and welcomed him, "Welcome back, Your Majesty. We have observed the gate all day, and it's stable to use."

There was no sign of monsters coming out of the gate. Afi stayed next to the gate, sleeping while Karoen stood next to the gate, fulfilling his duty to guard the gate.

"Good work, Naten," Tang Shaoyang commended the dwarf before heading toward the gate. He did not immediately enter the gate, standing in front of the gate, "I will enter the gate by myself."

"What? Bring me with you too!" Zara voiced her desire to follow him to the gate.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "The gate looks stable for now, but we don't know what will happen in the future. I want you and the others to stay here. If there's something wrong with the gate, I can switch positions with you."

"But you have Karoen, Afi, Vandir, and Yu here. You can switch positions with them," Zara insisted.

"There's a chance that my spirits will be recalled forcefully into the Spirit World once I cross the gate. If that's the case, I will not be able to use Spirit Switch. But there's also a chance that one or two spirits will stay outside. Especially a strong spirit, so I want you to stay here," Tang Shaoyang explained.

All the summoned spirits might be recalled forcefully because he traveled between worlds, but he hoped spirits would remain. As he said, he wished to use Spirit Switch if there's an accident on the gate. It was not funny getting stranded in an unknown world he did not know. Not at this time when Zhang Mengyao was on a mission, and Marshal Alton & Moonsong were currently finishing their trial.

Tang Shaoyang raised his hand as he had made the decision. Zara had no choice but to relent with the decision. He took a deep breath and entered the gate.

A Gush of cold wind brushed his face as he sensed the temperature drop. Back at his home, it was currently winter, but this place was much colder than winter at his home. He frowned as he felt nausea from using the dimensional gate. It confirmed his hate for the dimensional gate despite how convenient the gadget was.?He had been using the gate many times, but he did not feel better from each trip.

Tang Shaoyang threw the useless thoughts in his mind as he scanned his surroundings. There was no notification since he was not on a mission or a quest. But there was no notification that told him what world this was. As he was about to activate Spirit Eyes, a late notification rang in his head.

[Your lost spirit has returned!]

[You have opened the seal on Rumru The Black Dragon spirit!]

[You're finally back! You're finally back! You're finally back!] The excited voice rang in his head right after the notification. [I know you will return someday. I believe in you!]

The voice sounded foreign, he remembered the voice. It was the voice of a dragon that gave up his life for vengeance. The voice of his benefactor. If not for the Dragon Bloodline, Tang Shaoyang would not know if he would go through those ordeals back then.

"The fact you say that aloud shows that you don't believe me," Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle, "Of course, I will come back and fulfill my promise to you, Rumru. It's not that long, no? Just a little over a year. It's quicker than I thought. I don't really expect to return to Arkania this fast. I thought it would take at least five or maybe ten years."

Back then, he would not have dreamed of reaching such a high rank within a year. A year ago, he did not even know there was a God Rank or even a God Realm. He just knew that there was someone with the power to influence the system.

[That's true. It's too early for you to return here. You better go back and don't let that Clown notice you. Ever since The Game started, those fake Gods' followers had taken over the world. The Game just made them even stronger.]

Of course, Tang Shaoyang remembered God Clown. That was what people called him. In the last mission in Arkania, Clown descended to kill him. Clown exerted pressure that pushed him to lay flat on the ground. That was just a mere pressure from Clown, and back then he was around level 200. But it would be different now since he had killed God Rank.

Tang Shaoyang wondered how those Gods were doing. However, he was more interested in Rumru's story. Wondering what happened to the Black Dragon when they were separated.

"It's not too early. I just came at the right time. It would be better if he came to meet me right now," He chuckled, "But I am interested more in your story than those fake Gods. Before that, let me do some quick checks."

The first he checked was his Spirits. Afi, Vandir, Zara, Karoen, and Yu were not forcefully recalled. That was a good thing. Then he checked his surroundings with his Spirit Eyes. He was in the middle of nowhere covered in snow. Ahead of him was a thick forest, but the trees were covered in thick snow. Behind was a straight flatland covered in white snow. He did not find any lives, whether it was monsters or even settlements.

"Do you know where are we? We should find a better place to listen to your story. What have you been doing in a spirit form?" He hoped Rumru would know this place and get to a warmer place. Even though the cold was nothing to him but a minor inconvenience, having a roof on his top or a settlement was a better start for his mission in this world.

[You are not far from Frost's kingdom. Just go ahead and enter the forest, you will meet Jacky and Frost.]

Tang Shaoyang followed the instructions and headed to the forest. He frowned when he heard the two names, "Frost and Jacky?"

[Do you forget about them already? They are my followers back at Orin Forest along with Wen and Kairu.]

A memory flashed in his head when Kairu and Wen were brought. The white tiger and the red monkey, he remembered about them. The tiger with frost aura and the blacksmith monkey who made him battle with Rumru's scale.

"How are they? Are they doing well?" The four beast tribes were sworn to follow him after he inherited Rumru's bloodline. But as the mission was ended forcefully by the system because of Clown's interference, only Wen and Kairu followed him back to Earth. He did not know why Frost and Jacky were left behind, but maybe because they were not close enough.

[They are doing well initially. Frost decided to establish a kingdom, and Jacky supported Frost. They lead the headless Crimson Tribe and Jade Tribe, forming the Orin Kingdom. However, it seems those fake Gods decided to get rid of the Orin Kingdom since it's related to me. They are getting bolder after finding out about my death and invading the Orin Kingdom!]

The anger was obvious in his tone. He was angry for not being able to do anything as he watched his people suffer by the fake Gods' followers.

"I am here now, so there's no need to worry about them. I will help them out," Tang Shaoyang assured the Black Dragon, "So what about you? I mean what you have been doing all this time as a spirit. It seems The System did not send you to the void since you know all of this."

[Me? I am practically a ghost. I have been wandering around the world. I can see everything, but no one can see. It's quite lonely for a while, but I have been watching the war between the demons and the fake god's followers. On another side of the world, another fake god's followers are in a war against the beastmen and the elf as well. They are trying to conquer the world!]

Rumru told him what he had been doing. He was a floating spirit, no one could harm him, and he could not harm anyone either. That was his state when he was separated from Tang Shaoyang. The Black Dragon recounted all the wars all over the world.

However, Tang Shaoyang found the difference between The Game in this world and Earth. There were no zombies here. Instead, dungeons spawned all over, and the residents of this world meant to clear the dungeon to claim the reward. There was an event, The World Tournament where it was dominated by the fake Gods' followers. It was as if The Game in this world started right at phase three, the last phase of the Game.

[After watching all the wars over the years. I decided to stay with my people. That's what I have been doing for ten years.]

Tang Shaoyang nodded but then he halted his steps, "Wait! What did you say? Ten years?"
