After Thracian's president Shafu was killed by Inoue Amano, the only way to save him was the Resurrection God Stone.
And this was something the people of Thracian had long thought of.
To get a Resurrection God Stone to revive Shafu, their nation's top-world profession holders spared no cost to storm the Gate of Immortality, all for the sake of obtaining one Resurrection God Stone.
But the Gate of Immortality's enormous difficulty intercepted everyone and completely cut off their plan to revive Shafu.
There was no other way to obtain Resurrection Godstones elsewhere.
Originally, the more than two hundred million citizens of Thracian had already fallen into despair, thinking their nation was about to perish.
So when the Dragon Nation's profession holders arrived in Thracian territory bearing a Resurrection God Stone, it was undeniably a massive hope for them.
When Thracian's high officials received the Resurrection God Stone from Wu Haotian,
Some even knelt before Wu Haotian, expressing Thracian's highest gratitude to him.
From all directions, countless citizens who had come to the airport knelt and gave thanks.
Having never received such treatment before, Wu Haotian at this moment felt unbelievably awesome.
———
At the same time, inside the Dragon Nation.
Ouyang Linger watched Wu Haotian's smug face on the live broadcast and couldn't help but tease, "Look how full of himself he is. I feel like when he returns, this thing will be his bragging topic for life."
"But somehow, right now he does look a bit handsome?", Liyue beside her, watching Wu Haotian on TV, couldn't help the faint glow in her eyes.
"You think he's handsome? That sloppy, messy guy! Handsome my foot! He's the sloppiest guy I've ever seen," Ouyang Linger retorted at Liyue, then involuntarily glanced back at Wu Haotian on the screen.
Yet she hadn't felt this before.
Maybe she was affected by Liyue.
Now, as Ouyang Linger scrutinized Wu Haotian on the TV, for the first time she thought.
"He actually is a little handsome. What's wrong with me? Am I seeing things?"
"It's not like I've only just met this rat; didn't he used to be different? When did he secretly go get plastic surgery or whatever? Today he actually looks a little handsome."
As soon as Ouyang Linger finished speaking,
Liyue gave a lovestruck look, "See? You think he's a bit handsome too, right?"
It had to be said: because he was about to take the stage and receive the attention of hundreds of millions of Thracian citizens, Wu Haotian had gone to a barber and styled himself and even put on some makeup before heading to Thracian.
And it seemed that the makeup had worked quite well.
Then Liyue asked, "By the way, does anyone know if Wu Haotian has a girlfriend? Even though we've worked at Heavens Hall together for so long, I don't think I've ever paid much attention to him before!"
Others around nodded, "No. As everyone knows, that rat apart from an ex who he curses eight hundred times a day, has been single in recent years. His only girlfriend is his right hand."
Hearing that, the guild's purest girl, Ning Tiantian, asked with curiosity and confusion, "Right hand? How can a hand be a girlfriend?"
"Tsk," OneNight said, "Our sweet sister is too innocent. Brothers, don't corrupt the little girl, watch your words!"
Ning Tiantian looked utterly baffled.
Liyue, however, said with delight, "No girlfriend? Hehe, that's perfect…"
Seeing Liyue's lovestruck expression, Ouyang Linger suddenly felt a tightness in her chest she couldn't explain.
She looked at Liyue and suspiciously asked, "Liyue, you don't happen to like Wu Haotian, do you?"
"What's up?", Liyue looked at Ouyang Linger, "Do you like him?"
"If you like him, I won't compete with you," Liyue said with an innocent face.
Ouyang Linger immediately retorted, "No way! How could I like that messy guy? As everyone knows, I hate rats the most."
When she said that, Ouyang Linger's face flushed noticeably.
She looked like a ripe red apple.
Liyue smiled happily, "In that case I'll boldly pursue Wu Haotian! No objections, right?"
"No objections! Wu Haotian's such a straight guy, if Sister Liyue makes a move, she'll definitely have him in hand."
Liyue giggled, "Then I must go dress up. When Wu Haotian returns, I'll personally pick him up."
She was about to leave when Ouyang Linger called after her, "Wait, Liyue, I need your help!"
Liyue looked at Ouyang Linger and asked, "What's up?"
"This… this…", Ouyang Linger said impatiently, "Isn't the guild leader clearing the Divine Tomb? I need to constantly analyze the secret-realm data for him. Some data are too complicated, I need someone to help me so I can finish the analysis as fast as possible. I… I need your help."
Liyue glanced at Ning Tiantian and the others and said, "But they're here too, right?"
"You react quicker; I need you specifically!"
Liyue pouted, "Okay, then I'll go find Wu Haotian later."
Seeing Liyue sit back down, Ouyang Linger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even she didn't know why she felt so uneasy…
'Why am I worried that that guy might be picked up by another girl?'
'Strange, why is this happening… so strange!'
———
Meanwhile, inside the Divine Tomb secret realm.
As the difficulty of each layer in the realm gradually increased,
Zhang Yue began to feel fatigued.
Although the God Scroll had boosted Zhang Yue's Transcendent Set from 47 stars straight to 60 stars, granting him a huge increase in strength,
After the realm reset and the difficulty doubled, when he progressed into the fifth and sixth layers during the second round, even with the 60-star Transcendent Set, Zhang Yue felt somewhat overwhelmed.
It felt like the Purgatory·Transcendent Set's strength had reached a bottleneck.
He could no longer keep pushing forward.
At this moment, Ouyang Linger outside the screen saw Zhang Yue's predicament.
She said to Zhang Yue, "Guild leader, don't worry. This is normal. When you feel difficulty, it means you need to become stronger."
"You need to know how to 'pay to overcome' difficulties." (i.e., spend to break through)
After Ouyang Linger's prompting, Zhang Yue, having already cleared the sixth layer and about to advance to the final layer, understood.
It seemed he needed to perform a second-round enhancement.
