Following the ancient and solemn passage, Luo Feng advanced along the secluded path. It was composed of numerous huge, squared stone slabs. Every slab had a different carving. No two sculptures were the same. Each was carved to so-called perfection. Even Luo Feng himself could not help but admire these sculptures every time he lowered his head toward the slabs. What might have looked like normal roads and courtyard walls were, in fact, rich with hidden luxuries.
Turning the corner, he saw a door that had been left open.
"Huh?"
With a single glance, Luo Feng looked beyond the door and saw that inside the room, there were some automaton components and weapon parts placed about casually and in a messy manner. Luo Feng walked to the door and saw a man wearing a beautiful robe. He was looking intently at several different automaton components placed beside him.
The man in the beautiful robe turned and looked toward Luo Feng. Then he smiled. "Since you are here, do take a seat first."
Up ahead, was an exquisite black throne.
Luo Feng did not say a word. Obediently, he went to the throne and sat down. Since it was His Majesty the Godly King who had created Wu Qi Tower—and had designed so many difficult obstacles that had caused countless elite warriors of the World of Jin to perish one after the other—he must have had a goal in mind.
"This man..." Luo Feng took a careful look. "Strange. Even the virtual consciousness of the previous Duan Dong River carried an air of oppressive force. How could he not have even the slightest bit of oppressive force?"
It was as though Luo Feng was still a child and had run into an elderly old grandfather from his neighborhood. He looked at the man before him and could not help but feel a sort of amicable nature toward him. He had no fear. Instead, he felt very much at home.
"Impressive." Luo Feng was secretly shocked. "Even with the strength of my willpower, I am still unable to control myself. I have already developed good-natured feelings for him."
The man wearing the beautiful robe looked toward Luo Feng. "You must be very curious. Why did Godly King create this Wu Qi Tower? Why design so many difficult obstacles...? Now, let me tell you why. First, I have to tell you my identity... I am the Godly King of this World of Jin."
Luo Feng was astonished.
His Majesty the Godly King!
He might have guessed as much, but he had not dared to believe it. This common-looking man, who bore the look of an ordinary grandfather from Earth, was His Majesty the Godly King?
"Technically, I am the virtual consciousness left behind by His Majesty the Godly King after he was gone," said the man in the beautiful robe as he looked at Luo Feng.
Virtual consciousness? In his heart, Luo Feng was secretly shocked. But things were just as he had guessed; His Majesty the Godly King had truly died.
"You don't seem to be overly surprised," said the man, still looking at Luo Feng. "Seems like everything is within your expectations. I may have observed you from afar, but there is nothing else I can tell about you... But now I know, you are not a life form from my World of Jin."
Luo Feng was inwardly shocked. He almost wanted to self-destruct right away. But on the outside, Luo Feng maintained a calm composure. "I am not exactly indifferent," he said. "I do still feel shocked, but everything you just said was simply unbelievable. That is why I still maintain a dubious attitude. You say you are His Majesty the Godly King. Then you say you are the virtual consciousness left behind by the Godly King after he died... The noble Godly King is very far from me, and how could it be possible for him to die? Also, you mentioned that I am not a life form from the World of Jin. What do you mean?"
