Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1187 - 34: Heavenly Venerate’s Invitation (Part 4)
Are you worried that after knowing the danger, I would become fearful and dare not head to the Great Thousand Worlds? He quickly dismissed this thought, no, it definitely wouldn’t be that simple. Ordinary players in the Jiuzhou World face dangers and risks of death as well. I rose from a Level 1 account all the way to Level 50 and achieved Ascension to Immortality; the Heavenly Venerate surely understands the dangers and trials I’ve faced. With my mindset and experiences, such a degree of ’danger’ description wouldn’t scare me away.
"Then it seems there’s only one answer..." Xiao Jie’s gaze turned profound, "The real danger of the Great Thousand Worlds far surpasses his understated descriptions... possibly involving something... unable to easily resurrect, or consequences more terrifying than death."
"Not completely correct either..." he continued to ponder deeply, "No matter how high the danger, as long as one can exit the game anytime and return to the safe real world, it essentially remains a game, not an absolute peril." His gaze once again fell on the Heavenly Venerate’s ravenous eating, as if never satiated, and an astounding thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
"Such an unusual craving for food... could it be in reality..." Xiao Jie suddenly considered a terrifying yet logically plausible possibility.
Although it can’t be completely confirmed, this conjecture instantly enlightened him, providing reasonable explanations for numerous doubts.
Why has such a reckless personality as the Heavenly Venerate never been mentioned in Earth’s news...
Why did he meet me in dreams rather than in reality...
Because he’s not on Earth at all!
"As for whether my guess is true or not..." Xiao Jie quickly thought, "A test will reveal the truth."
He no longer remained silent, suddenly shook his head, gently laughed, revealing a complex expression as if he had long seen through everything with a touch of compassion and insight.
"Hehe, Heavenly Venerate, oh Heavenly Venerate..." Xiao Jie’s voice was calm yet carried a penetrating force, "Since you and I both are Immortal Dao Practitioners in pursuit of transcendence and reality, why go to such lengths... to deceive me?"
"Deceive you? Where does that come from?" The smile on the Heavenly Venerate’s face momentarily froze, then he showed an extremely exaggerated look of surprise, his eyes appearing unusually ’sincere’, as if feeling deeply wronged.
Xiao Jie ignored his performance, his gaze like burning torches, staring directly into the Heavenly Venerate’s eyes attempting to hide something, his tone plain yet each word weighty:
"If it wasn’t to deceive me into a trap, why, from start to finish, did you never mention the most crucial information—"
He paused slightly, observing the subtle changes in the other’s expression, then spoke word by word:
"Why didn’t you tell me that once choosing to enter the ’Great Thousand Worlds’, there’s ... no way to exit the game?"
His voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a sharp inquiry:
"Or is it... you have become some sort of involuntary ’existence’, such as—Immortal Puppet? Hence, so eager to lure me to the Great Thousand Worlds too, wanting me... to share the same fate as you?"
Upon saying this, the restaurant fell into dead silence. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The previously composed Heavenly Venerate’s face suddenly stiffened! That roguish smile, as if everything was under control, vanished without a trace, replaced by a look of surprise and astonishment.
