“Awwarrr— Awwarrrr—”

With Jiaojiao’s self-recovery ability and Alleria helping Li Yi out, they would not die that easily, at least not within a short span of time. The Ancient Desert God’s tentacles may be lashing about, but it was ineffective against them. On the contrary, its remaining HP was revealed instead.

Three hundred seventy million!

That thing had quite the amount of HP. Adding up the previous hits, its HP actually exceeded 1 billion.

Tst —

With only 50 million HP remaining, the Ancient Desert God suddenly retrieved its tentacles and crept into the sand like a slithering snake.

Where the Ancient Desert God had made its escape, lay a red backpack sitting on the ground, shimmering.

That was the Dwarf, Karlu’s backpack, an item to complete the Traveler’s quest.

When Li Yi went ahead to pick up the backpack, a change was immediately seen in the Quest Pane.

[Quest Title: End of the Traveler’s Days]

[Quest Details: Drop Karlu’s backpack off in Ironwood Town and hand it over to his family.]

[Quest Difficulty: Rank S]

[Quest Restriction: This quest cannot be repeated. Upon failure, it will be lost forever.]

[Quest Hint: ???]

[Quest Reward: ???]

“The quest’s complete?” Li Yi and Jiaojiao exchanged glances.

Li Yi thought about it before opening the red backpack.

Karlu’s last words were to refrain from opening the backpack but that was the funny thing about curiosity. The more one was asked not to touch, the more one could not resist touching it.

Ding!

[You’ve obtained a Thunder God’s Heart.]

With a clear ring, Li Yi found a lightning-shaped gemstone in his hand.

“What is this?” Jiaojiao walked over with her head tilted to one side as she inspected the Thunder God’s Heart closely.

Hot with emotion, Li Yi held the lightning gemstone with both hands, without moving a muscle for long.

The Thunder God’s Heart? Who would have thought it would be the Thunder God’s Heart?

In King of Pantheon game, the most exalted existences were the gods high up in Mount Pantheon.

The Ruler of Gods Appreciation Festival, God-queen Prayer Day, Pantheon’s Paean… were events in King of Pantheon that were organized for these gods.

In King of Pantheon, these gods did not exist to protect the world or maintain peace.

Over the years, players would play through various expansion packs. Starting from Pinnacle of the Fire up till Pantheon’s Fury.

When players stepped onto Mount Pantheon, they would discover that the organization behind these calamities was none other than the gods of Mount Pantheon.

Pinnacle of the Fire was a devious scheme directed by the Fire God, Light and Darkness was the work of the Light Goddess, the opening of Foreignland Gate was approved by the Ruler of Gods and executed by the War God, while the Destruction God had been pulling strings behind the scenes to revive the Ancient Kings.

Destroying the world, killing every being on the face of the earth, creating new life, and establishing a new world order. This was what the gods had been scheming all along.

Prior to the reveal of the Pantheon’s true colors, the sporting event hosted personally hosted by the Pantheon was the supposed God Wars!

“Pick the strongest in the land. They shall ascend to godhood and dominate the land!”

This was what the Ruler of Gods himself had proclaimed, prior to the start of the God Wars.

Before the God Wars began, Territory Masters were plentiful in the game. Only, Territory did not equate to God-tier, in fact, it was still far from it. In his past life, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had raised her Territory Rank to 100 before challenging a divine messenger. It ended in crushing defeat.

The God Wars’ selection process was on its third year before Li Yi’s rebirth. He had not qualified for the first two God Wars but had managed to make it to the top 100 list in the third year.

In his past life, the players who had obtained God titles in the first two God Wars were either from the Southern or Western Continent. The Eastern Continent was the only one which did not have any players placed in the rankings.

Li Yi could be considered a weirdo in his past life. He single-handedly took a placing in the top 100. Were it not for the sudden opening of the Pantheon’s Fury expansion pack causing changes in the competition, there was a possibility he would have made it into the top ten.

The story behind the Pantheon’s Fury expansion pack was the reveal that the Pantheon’s true motives in organizing the God Wars was to provoke conflict. Their supposed ascension to godhood was only a God title with no additional attributes to the top ten players. A tale-tell sign of a scam.

The expose of the Pantheon’s plot saw immediate changes to the sequence of the God Wars. The useless God title was replaced by an assembled party of winners who set forth towards Mount Pantheon and crush the gods!

As a result, Li Yi ended up getting the short end of the stick. He had no friends and no party. He fought on his own and was instantly killed by Shoot Until Daybreak…

Li Yi often looked back and unable to suppress the feeling of dejection. He trained hard for three years for that God title that came with no additional attributes (There was a bonus) and yet…

“Lil Yi’zi, Lil Yi’zi, hey hey, I’m going for a bite!”

Jiaojiao waved her dainty arm frantically in front of Li Yi and finally shook him out of his thoughts.

“You said it.”

“I said nothing.” JIaojiao covered her mouth and turned around.

Jiaojiao asked, “What’s the Thunder God’s Heart? Why did you go blank back there?”

“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

Smiling, Li Yi placed the Thunder God’s Heart into his backpack.

“How would I know if you never tell me?”

“Come to my room tonight and I’ll let you know.”

“I’m not going!” Jiaojiao ran off in a huff.

Li Yi burst out laughing.

Truth be told, he was not well versed in the mystery of the Thunder God’s Heart. He only knew a little.

A God’s Heart was what remains of a god after death. Each piece represented a single god. Different from mortals, the gods were immortal. Hence, a god’s death was a matter of utmost importance.

In his past life, the sudden opening of the Pantheon’s Fury expansion pack was due to a player discovering a God’s Heart. Li Yi was not clear about the specific details, but he knew that that player became a god out of the blue. This incident left the gods simmering with rage and became the direct cause of the Pantheon’s Fury expansion pack.

The top ten winners of the three God Wars in his past life only obtained a God title in name and never became actual gods. However, the player who discovered the God’s Heart became the only God-tiered player in King of Pantheon.

Li Yi had no knowledge on how to use the God’s Heart to become a god, but he knew that it was the key!

He never would have thought he would find a God’s Heart in the Heart of Earth Element.

Dwarf Karlu’s skeleton was easy to spot at the entrance of the Heart of Earth Element. Could it be that no one had entered this map in the eight years of his past life?

Perhaps Glide Land and Sky from his past life had obtained the God’s Heart from here?

Li Yi frowned as he dove deep within his thoughts.

The player who became god in the past life was called Glide Land and Sky. He was an ordinary player who never made the cut in the God Wars. His PK tactics were ordinary and so was his equipment. Li Yi had never heard of him before he became a god.

A nobody was the best way to describe Glide Land and Sky.

It was only when he became a god that he rocked the world.

“Wham! Wham! Wham!”

In the distance, Jiaojiao swung her greatsword in her new attempt at a killing spree.

Li Yi’s action of removing the Thunder God’s Heart from the backpack had caused the Traveler quest to fail. He and Jiaojiao were deducted 50,000 points of Dwarves’ Reputation Value.

With first kills on bosses capable of boosting Reputation Values, Li Yi was not concerned about losing the points. He had his hands on a God’s Heart, an item that was crucial to becoming a god, he was willing to be deducted 500,000 points, let alone 50,000 points.

The fierce battle had left Li Yi’s Territory reduced by half.

“Jiaojiao, don’t stray too far, my Territory may collapse any moment.”

“You should have said so earlier!”

Jiaojiao slashed a tentacle before running back to Li Yi.

The Ancient Desert God was not dead, it merely escaped.

There were no sand whirls within the Territory, a contrast to the outside, where sand covered visibly everything in sight. There was no coordinates display here, and the earlier battle left Li Yi clueless as to where they were and which direction they were going.

“Jiaojiao, do you know which way to advance to?”

“Yes, this way!”

Jiaojiao pointed to the left.

Li Yi was surprised. “For real?”

“I’m good with directions. Just start walking if you don’t believe me!”

“Alright, let’s start walking!”

Li Yi and Jiaojiao walked alongside each other.

Ten minutes later, Li Yi and Jiaojiao made it safely to the entrance of the Heart of Earth Element.

Li Yi glared at Jiaojiao. “I’m going squeeze your little apples to death, is this the right way to go?”

“I… I… I… I thought you meant the entrance. Right, you were talking about the entrance, don’t blame me.”

Jiaojiao was too stubborn to admit her mistake. She shook her head and insisted the Li Yi was in the wrong while she was not at fault.

“Just rest!”

Li Yi retrieved his Territory and sat on the ground for some shut-eye.

Standing on her toes, Jiaojiao bit her lip and stood aside without saying a word.

The duo restarted their journey after Li Yi’s Territory Power fully recovered.

This time, Li Yi learned his lesson. He no longer trusted Queen Jiao’s directional instincts. He would mark the place with an Engineered Route Marker after walking a short distance to avoid getting lost.

When the duo arrived where they picked up Karlu’s backpack, they realized the escaped Ancient Desert God had returned.

The tens of thousands of tentacles were swaying, stirring up bouts of dust and sand.

Li Yi and Jiaojiao were delighted to find the Ancient Desert God’s HP had yet to recover.

“Great opportunity, let’s go!”

Li Yi activated God Mode and used Water Clone to initiate two rounds of Shooting Star Arrow Hail.

“Aww— Aaawwwaarrr aaawwarrr—”

Attacked, the Ancient Desert God immediately bellowed and retrieved its tentacles to disappear underground.

After losing 30 million HP, it fled…

“Do we have to watch over this pit to kill it?”

Shaking his head, Li Yi tossed an Engineered Route Marker on the ground before continuing on their way.

The countless tentacles during their journey were easily wiped out by the duo.

The Heart of Earth Element was a strange map. Apart from the enormous the Ancient Desert God, Li Yi and Jiaojiao did not encounter any other monsters. It was all tentacles in plain view.

At the fifth hour of entering the Heart of Earth Element, Li Yi and Jiaojiao finally came across a treasure chest.

Jiaojiao opened a huge red treasure chest to find a Sacramental Stone Fragment.
