Chapter 48: Star World
Three days passed in a flash.
"Let's start!"
In the middle of the night, within the Overgod Space, accompanied by Wu Ming's whisper, the feeling of world warping suddenly came.
Boom!
In an instant, the world changed.
Wu Ming endured the dizziness and looked around. He saw that he was in a mountain village and the surrounding scenery was hazy and it was night.
"But… this moonlight… so bright!"
He looked up and couldn't help sucking a breath of cold air.
He saw the starry sky burning with brilliance and a bright moon like a silver disc was in the middle, with a tinge of purple.
"What a big moon, what a bright star!"
In this sky, every star was as big as a bucket and the light was blazing, causing the night's visuality to be extremely high. But the number was a little small; it seems that there were only a few thousand.
The stars are arching over the moon, and the moon in the center, like sitting in a royal court.
"Exhale…"
Wu Ming exhaled and secretly contacted the Overgod Palace. The first thing that emerged was his personal attributes:
[Reincarnator Serial Number: GS-69]
[Name: Wu Ming]
[Cultivation Base: Mortal Body Realm 6th Layer Innate, Human Immortal 2nd Layer Refined Master.]
[Equipment: Dark Gold Ring, Dustless Gown, Yin Gathering Stream]
[Title: Apostle of the Overgod]
[Your appearance has been fine-tuned and has automatically equipped with scene language. You can communicate with characters in this scene and it will automatically disappear after the Mission is over… Note: It is strictly forbidden to leak information about the Overgod Palace and the real world to characters in the scene and offenders will be obliterated!]
"Ah…Where is this?"
As several newcomers woke up, prompts from the Overgod Palace continued to appear:
[Scene Introduction: Star Essence Mainland, in the ninth year of Qianyuan, the emperor lost his virtue and the Divine Land [1]. A surnamed Li rises from Cangzhou, occupying the Nine Mountains and holding ten thousand soldiers. Thanks to the foreign officers, he managed to defeat the government army. Cangzhou is corrupt!]
[Side Quest Mission: Join!]
[Mission Objective: Within ten days, gain and join the Nine Mountains Army! If the Mission is successful, you will be rewarded with 100 Minor Merits. If the Mission fails, you will be obliterated!]
[Main Quest Mission: The establishment of a king! Within three months, help Li Rubi ascend the throne! If Li Rubi is defeated and dies, it will be considered a Mission Failure and you shall be obliterated! If the Main Quest is completed, you shall be rewarded with 200 Major Merits!]
[Mission Scene: Medium! Mission Difficulty: Flood!]
"Three months… not bad, but it takes a little more time than Great Zhou World to practice…"
Wu Ming looked at it with a little happiness in his eyes.
"Damn! Overgod Palace is playing with people again! Since the last Mission, the Mission's name hasn't even changed and the difficulty has become greater. This time, it actually wants us to support this grassroots king?"
A handsome, tall, black-clothed young man wailed: "Is this a damn Flood-level Mission? It was at least at the level of Eon… Fortunately, there are rewards for great merit, which can comfort my injured soul…"
Seeing the newcomers' ignorance, the young man shouted: "Don't be stunned, novices! Think about it… this is a real world. If you die here, you die in real life. I wish you good luck!"
After speaking, he whispered again: "There are newcomers in a Flood-level Mission, the Overgod Palace is really…"
With expectant eyes, he looked at Wu Ming and another person and cupped his fist and said:
"Under extreme sorrow, I have seen the two of you. I am afraid that this Mission depends on the three of us!"
He had a natural and familiar personality and said with a carefree grin: "First, let me introduce myself. My name Xiao Jidu (Good leg skills) and exchanged a Wind God leg technique from the Overgod Palace…"
'Wind God Leg? Why don't you call yourself Nie Feng?'[2]
Wu Ming rolled his eyes but seeing Xiao Jidu's whole body congealed with Qi and slender legs, it gave him a feeling of danger and he was shocked: "This person's martial arts must be above of Feng Han's!"
At once, he saluted back: "My name is Nameless (Wuming), I am also a Martial Artist; 6th Layer Innate!"
"Nameless? No name and no surname?" Xiao Jidu was embarrassed for a moment, then looked at the last person expectantly.
'There are only three seniors this time? ’
Wu Ming was also quite interested in this last person and couldn't help but pay attention to him.
He saw a man wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown. He had dashing eyebrows on the temple, a jade-like face with a hint of arrogance, his right hand held a fist-sized orb with a dazzling five-color halo.
"Hmph! I, Yu Shaojun, hereby declare in advance that you don't bother with me anymore! Otherwise, I don't mind solving you two together!"
When Yu Shaojun saw Xiao Jidu and Wu Ming in the eyes, he gave a cold snort with disdain.
"You!"
Xiao Jidu heard it and was angry.
Those who have managed to play a few games from the Overgod Palace all have their arrogance. Although this person looked cynical, seeing Yu Shaojun's appearance, he couldn't help but get angry.
‘This person dares to do this, he is neither a fool nor an idiot, but he must have something to rely on to be this confident! ’
Wu Ming's mind raced and carefully looked at Yu Shaojun's fate.
‘Um…what he is wearing is a magic robe! ’
First of all, Wu Ming paid attention to the man's golden silk robe, then moved his face. The other party had a Magical Artifact but it was worn casually; unlike him who carefully put an extra layer outside of his Dustless Gown.
The orb in his hand was also a powerful Magical Artifact, even giving him a sense of danger.
But that attracted more Wu Ming's attention to him!
'The feeling that this fellow is giving me, why is it so…' Wu Ming licked his lips and calmed the boiling blood in his body.
"Hehe… This Mission requires you to face thousands of troops. Oh, you have great magical powers, I don't know how much you can keep under the army's suffocation? Even if you can keep it, how many more can you kill?"
Xiao Jidu directly pushed back.
"You can try…"
Tu Shaojun lowered his head, his eyes showed a dangerous light. He took a few steps but found out that he couldn't leave the circle, and then said: "The mission has not begun, the restrictions have not been lifted…"
Seeing this, he knew that this man was an iron-hearted lone ranger. Xiao Jide could only shrug to Wu Ming: "Break an arm first, I can only hope that there are good seeds amongst the newcomers…"
Wu Ming held back and did not hit Xiao Jidu again, telling him that he was also a solo traveler.
"How is this possible?"
"No, I want to go back?"
"Haha… an illusion, it must be an illusion!"
"Fake, everything is fake!"
……
At that time, the newcomers on the ground seemed to finally have digested the information and seemed unwilling to accept it.
"I believe what they said, this is indeed not the same world as Great Zhou!"
At the same time, another voice as crisp as a yellow oriole sounded. A woman wearing a white palace costume and had crystal-clear jade-like skin with quite a few colors coming out pointed to the sky: "As for evidence, it's the starry sky!"
"Starry sky?"
The newcomers looked up at the starry sky one by one, and immediately all opened their mouths.
"Such ample star power and a completely different arrangement from the twenty-eight constellations of Great Zhou. If it's the same world, how could we miss Zhou's zodiacs?"
The woman chuckled, seeing the unintelligible expressions of the people around her and couldn't help show helplessness.
"What?"
As Wu Ming saw the woman, his heart was startled.
The contours of the other party's face, as well as those watery, clever eyes, gave himself a familiar feeling.
‘It’s Xiaoyu!’
He immediately thought of the woman he met in the first mission, and the feeling she gave him was very similar to Xiaoyu.
"This young master seems to recognize this girl? This mistress' name is Xiaodi, have I met the young master before?"
The girl Xiaodi leaned forward and asked with a smile.
"No! I was just dazed for a moment. That's all!"
Wu Ming opened his mind and activated his Spiritual Eye and saw that woman's body was full of Scarlet Qi. A layer of clear light guarded her, even thicker than herself, he immediately knew that the woman's achievement in Dao might even better than himself.
He looked at a few others, all of them were common except for Xiao Jidu whose aura was scarlet red, like a fire cloud.
It's just that there is no Source Fate so Wu Ming's reason for the lack of it must be by the Overgod Palace.
Then looking Yu Shaojun, his eyes jumped.
In Wu Ming's eyes, Yu Shaojin's golden and scarlet qi gathered at the top and seemed to have a core in the middle. With a glance, Yu Shaojin frowned, as if he had sensed something, and the orb in his hand shone brightly, making Wu Ming behave; not daring to look again.
‘This person’s luck is only slightly worse than Elder Sister Wu Qing’s, and he seems to have a big secret…’
Wu Ming groaned: "Of course… The Luck Qi of everyone has something in common, that is, the confusion of tribulation aura. Now that the Black Qi is thick outside, is this a sign of bad luck?"
[The Mission begins!]
The Overgod Palace's vast mechanical voice sounded and the air around began to flow, and the restrictions were lifted.
Ta ta! (Sounds of horses)
On the official road, fifty-six cavalrymen came galloping, each strong and sturdy, wearing leather armor, a long sword on the waist, and a quiver on the saddle.
"Listen, village in the front. We are the tooth soldier of General Li of the Nine Mountains and is tasked to requisition food supplies. Porters, give me!"
A tooth soldier cavalry looked over and saw Wu Ming and his gang, he gave a snort and then burst into laughter, and rushed in like a gust of wind, pulling out a machete with a murderous face, and his target was Yu Shaojun!
In this world, tooth soldiers were untamed, murder and looting were commonplace. Yu Shaojun dressing like this only invited trouble.
"Hmph!"
He originally heard that he was a soldier of Nine Mountains, Yu Shaojin wanted to step forward and ask the roads or something but now, it was put aside of his mind, and the pearl in his hand flashed red: "Fire of heaven and earth, listen to my command!"
Pu!
With a flare of fire, it appeared cone-shaped and rushed towards the rider.
"Huh? Daoist Magic?"
Unexpectedly, the rider's hands and feet were extremely sensitive and made an embarrassing jump to avoid the fire attack. The horse screamed and turned into a torch. However, this man, who rolled on the ground, got up and screamed:
"Ah?"
The leader of the tooth soldier came over and saw Yu Shaojun and Xiaodi, but he snorted coldly: "It's all demons, the men are to be killed, but the women stay!"
In an instant, fifty-six riders burst into laughter, and they charged together as magnificent as a thousand horses army, roaring!
[1]: If you didn't remember, here's the reminder: the Divine Land or Shenzhou is another name for China in its feudal age.
[2]: Nie Feng (Whispering Wind) is one of the protagonists of Wind and Cloud.
