Everyone had thought there would be a bloody battle between Chen Zijin and the two Main Gods.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zijin had set this up for so long only to find herself an opportunity to slip into the Gate of Immortality.
The viewers outside were dumbfounded.
"So attacking the two Main Gods was just your lie…"
By the time the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence reacted, Chen Zijin had already vanished.
Only then did they realize: they had been tricked by this human.
Beneath that attractive appearance, was such a cunning heart.
However, the God of Desire and the God of Malevolence did not pursue Chen Zijin; they instead acted as if nothing had happened and continued to guard outside the Gate of Immortality.
Apparently, in their eyes, even if Chen Zijin had broken into the Gate of Immortality, she wouldn't pose any threat to them, the Main Gods.
Her lone venture into the Gate of Immortality would only end in her death within the Gate.
———
Whoosh!
When Chen Zijin passed through the light screen and entered the interior of the Gate of Immortality, the scene before her was identical to the Gates of Immortality in the Thirty-Third and World 22s.
What met her eyes was an apocalypse.
Corpses lay everywhere on the ground.
Bloodlight shot up into the sky.
Chen Zijin looked around, stunned by the scene.
Everywhere she looked, piles of monster corpses had been stacked into mountains on the ground.
At minimum they were lord-grade monsters.
Among them were no shortage of BOSSes, god-tier BOSSes, and even emperor-tier BOSS corpses.
The land was strewn with corpses.
Red, green, blue, various colors of blood were mixed together until you couldn't tell whether it was blood or pigment.
A strong metallic stench of blood hung in the air.
Clearly, a battle had occurred here not long ago.
Moreover, the monster corpses on the ground were covered in sword scars, or were severed outright, the cut surfaces very smooth. Obviously killed by blades.
Chen Zijin glanced around casually; she could have guessed without looking, these were the Demon Emperor Yu Qian's doing.
"You yourself are a monster, yet you slaughter your own kind so... what a freak you are!"
"Let me see what exactly you want to do!"
As soon as Chen Zijin finished speaking, a voice came from behind, "Who told you I'm a monster?"
"Didn't your parents teach you from childhood how to respect others?"
Chen Zijin spun around sharply, and saw a warrior clad in flowing golden armor standing in a dim open space a hundred meters away.
Demon Emperor · Yu!
Chen Zijin was slightly surprised.
How did he happen to be right at this spot?
It seemed he saw through Chen Zijin's inner thoughts.
Demon Emperor Yu said, "Relax, this is not an ambush."
"I have been here, waiting for you for a long time."
Just wartime rhetoric and pressure.
Chen Zijin was not intimidated; she said calmly, "So, what? You wanted to lure me into the Gate of Immortality to trap me?"
"Not exactly," the Demon Emperor said, "I only guessed you would come."
"Alright then," Chen Zijin was equally direct, "I originally planned to track you by the traces you left. Now that I've met you, let's get to the point."
"What do you want to do with the Resurrection God Stones?"
While negotiating with the Demon Emperor, Chen Zijin quietly opened her livestream.
She intended to expose all of the Demon Emperor's actions to the public, to let the whole world know what he was up to.
Since becoming famous after the Hell Arena battle, Shadow Dancer · Cappuccino's renown spread not only through Dragon Nation but across the world; she had considerable influence.
She was many people's national goddess.
Thanks to her stunning looks, superb performance skills, and strength, she had already gained many fans.
And just now, the instant Chen Zijin broke through the two Main Gods' blockade and entered the Gate of Immortality, many netizens had already been waiting on Chen Zijin's livestream homepage.
So, once Chen Zijin's stream started, a flood of viewers poured in.
Through Chen Zijin's perspective, many people got a close look at the golden-armored warrior, Demon Emperor Yu!
["This… isn't that rotten bastard?"]
["According to information released by Dragon Nation, I think his name is Demon Emperor Yu?"]
["That guy, he set up that huge scheme at the Hell Arena, targeting professionals worldwide and exterminating so many top professionals from all nations. Now what does he want to do this time?"]
["Streamer be careful! This guy can manipulate three Main Gods; his strength is no joke!"]
Chen Zijin ignored the chat messages in the livestream; her focus was entirely on the Demon Emperor.
Facing Chen Zijin's earlier question, the Demon Emperor replied lightly, "That's a good question, but I do not intend to answer."
Chen Zijin was unconcerned, "Actually I don't really want to know~"
"But do you think now that I'm here, you can still get the Resurrection God Stones?"
Chen Zijin never intended to go head-to-head with the Demon Emperor.
She couldn't even beat a Main God, let alone fight the Demon Emperor who could control Main Gods.
If she started a fight with him, it would be suicide.
So what she was doing was merely restraining the Demon Emperor, buying time and waiting for Zhang Yue to arrive.
According to external estimates, the time between the Demon Emperor Yu entering the Gate of Immortality and now did not exceed three hours.
Even if no one had interrupted him in those three hours, at most he could seize only a portion of the Gate of Immortality's resources.
After all, the record holder for the Gate of Immortality, Zhang Yue, when he conquered the Gates in the World 22 and 33, had spent twelve hours to take all the Resurrection God Stones from the Gate.
Chen Zijin was convinced: even if the Demon Emperor had already found Resurrection God Stones, the number of stones in his hands could not exceed three at most.
Yet, reality went beyond her expectations.
No sooner had Chen Zijin spoken than the Demon Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Then, perhaps I will disappoint you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Emperor waved his left hand.
Before them, stones emitting golden light materialized.
Those stones, radiating endless vitality, were indeed the Resurrection God Stones.
When that row of Resurrection God Stones appeared before the Demon Emperor, not only Chen Zijin but also the hundreds of millions watching the livestream were stunned.
["1, 2, 3, 4…10! Ten Resurrection God Stones?"]
["Holy shit! How did he collect so many Resurrection God Stones from the Gate of Immortality in such a short time?"]
["He already broke Zero's record! Zero once at most took eight Resurrection God Stones from the Gate of Immortality at one time, right?"]
["What does this guy… want to do with the Resurrection God Stones?"]
