Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1185 - 34: Heavenly Venerate’s Invitation (Part 2)

"Haha, Sui Feng Daoist is indeed straightforward and insightful!" Heavenly Venerate clapped his hands and laughed, then snapped his fingers, "Waiter!"

With his call, a beautiful waitress wearing a fitting uniform appeared like a phantom, smiling as she came over, "Sir, would you like anything else?"

"Bring me another round of everything I just ordered, exactly the same!" Heavenly Venerate waved energetically.

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir." The waitress nodded with a smile, her figure subtly fading away again.

Almost at the moment she vanished, the table emitted a slight glow, and the gourmet food that had just been devoured appeared once more out of thin air, steaming and fragrant, as if untouched.

Heavenly Venerate unceremoniously picked up a juicy dumpling, smiling at Xiao Jie, "Daoist, you don’t mind if I have some more, do you?"

"Help yourself." Xiao Jie gestured invitingly, his mind gaining a deeper understanding of the mischievous nature of the dream realm’s creator.

As he skillfully sucked the soup from the dumpling with a straw, Heavenly Venerate asked vaguely, "So, Sui Feng Daoist, you’ve gone through a lot to bring me here, perhaps there’s something important you wish to discuss?"

"That question should actually be asked by me." Xiao Jie looked at him sharply, "Heavenly Venerate Daoist, you’ve deployed your underlings to stir up trouble in the game, pushing the development of its versions and storyline, even at the cost of inciting conflict and slaughter, what exactly is your motive?"

"Didn’t my subordinates mention it to you?" Heavenly Venerate raised an eyebrow, focused on the dumpling in his hand.

"They did. Divine Calculation Sky Demon suspects you intend to accelerate the game’s progress, to produce more ’Ascension’ players."

"Haha, that’s indeed the boy speaking. He’s got some smartness and is good at analysis and speculation." Heavenly Venerate chuckled, acknowledging it implicitly.

"Yes, but what’s the purpose?" Xiao Jie pursued, this being the core of his concern, "Training more Ascension players, what benefit does it bring to you? Surely it’s not for the greater good?"

Heavenly Venerate finally set down his food, his playful expression becoming solemn. He pondered for a moment, as if weighing something, eventually seeming to reach a decision.

"I might as well tell you." He leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice despite the seeming lack of necessity in the dream realm, "Everything I do is to allow more players from the Nine States World to enter the ’Great Thousand Worlds’, where they can team up with me to complete quests, enter instances, and explore secret realms!"

"Team up? Complete quests? Enter instances?" Xiao Jie echoed these words, a look of disbelief on his face, "So that’s your reason... for committing indiscriminate killing and inciting strife in the real world? Isn’t that a bit too much?" His tone carried a hint of skepticism and chill.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Venerate burst into laughter, as if he had heard something exceedingly amusing.

"Hahahaha! Sui Feng Daoist, you’re truly hilarious!" He laughed until he was doubled over, struggling to stop, and then, looking at Xiao Jie, his eyes shown with a playfulness and a detachment from worldly concerns, "According to mortal law, committing crimes is indeed wrong. But throughout history, whenever a dynasty changed, which successful insurrection wasn’t guilty of the heinous crime of ’treason’? Yet, after the winner emerges, who then scrutinizes their ’crimes’?"

He picked up a French fry, dipping it in ketchup, and leisurely said, "Sui Feng Daoist, we’re all Immortal Dao Practitioners, beyond the three realms and not bound by the Five Elements, there’s no need to be hypocritical and adhere to the moral codes of the mortal world. Mortals to us are but fleeting ants. Whether to follow rules has always been dictated by the power that sets them."

His tone became calm but carried undeniable authority, "Now, in this world, we immortals are the most powerful, at the pinnacle of martial strength. What mundane laws can truly bind us? A few mortal deaths mean nothing. Compared to my grand ambition, concerning the future path of us immortals, such a cost is nothing."

The Heavenly Venerate spoke, his face glowing with an intertwined look of longing and fervor, as if depicting a paradise.

"Daoist, you have no idea how extraordinary the Great Thousand Worlds are! It is simply a paradise for cultivators!" He brandished the chicken leg in his hand, passionately describing, "Orange Legendary Equipment, revered as Top-Grade in the Nine States World, is mere trash there! So-called Divine Artifacts are just ordinary equipment!"

"There are countless profound Immortal Divine Powers and Ancient Inheritances available for study and cultivation, many Forbidden Techniques lost in the Nine States World may be mere entry-level materials there! Spirit veins abound, Immortal Herbs are everywhere, any secret realm might contain awe-inspiring heritage!" He described a magnificent scene with gleaming eyes, "It’s like opportunity at every step, a world full of hidden realms! The speed of cultivation improvement is tenfold, a hundredfold faster than in the Nine States World!"

Xiao Jie pondered secretly: Is it real? It sounds so fantastical, like a dream... Oh, it is indeed a dream right now.

"Is it really that wonderful?" He kept a straight face, following up on the conversation tactfully.
