Chapter 146: Mask
The eye appeared without warning. Yun Xi was sure that this place had nothing a second ago, but after he had left the bonfire, the eye had instantly emerged. The eye looked at Yun Xi and his twin swords with curiosity and confusion.
âWho are you? Where are you from? Where will you go? Why are you here?â
Yun Xi nervously gazed at the giant eye. Sweat dripped from his face.
It wasnât a real eye, but formed by countless mist crystals. Tiny crystals of mist reflected colorful lights in the sun, as fantastic as if a dream.
The eyeâs pupil was an engaging dark blue, looking like a very profound gem.
It could control the mist in the air so easily. Since the trial world was named âWater Godâs Fantasy Islandâ, Yun Xi had already guessed what the eye in front of him was.
Water God! It was the fantastic creature sleeping under the island, the strongest, god-like creature in this trial world!
What the hell?! He had just left the bonfire and then immediately saw the ultimate boss of the world. Yun Xi felt desperate. What should he do now?
It wasnât even âHell Modeâ. It was the âNobody Survives Modeâ he was facing!
âWhy donât I see my mark in your body? You... You donât belong to this world?â
Fortunately, even though it was the worldâs ultimate boss, Water God looked it was still half awake and half asleep. Its voice sounded deep.
The mist crystals resonated, shaking both Yun Xiâs body and heart.
Undoubtedly, it was a legend-ranked creature that wouldnât be inferior to the White Holy Dragon. Its existence itself was enough to change this worldâs rules.
It was like lightning, a storm, a volcano. As a legend-ranked being, it was as miraculous as god.
Water God was undoubtedly an ancient creature that was as strong as a god!
It was impossible to defeat such a god-like creature!
The difference between them was as large as the difference between a drop of water and an entire ocean.
Did he still have a chance?
Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief after he realized that Water God wasnât going to kill him directly.
Fortunately, he wouldnât be killed countless times immediately after he left the bonfire. Even though he could revive in the fire, he didnât want to fight against the ancient creature, Water God.
The gap between the nature of their lives was too wide. It would be meaningless to repeat such combat.
âWhatâs your name?â Water God gazed at Yun Xi with no hostility. On the contrary, Yun Xi felt kindness from its tone.
âIâm...â Yun Xi almost told it his true name. Fortunately, he remembered Meiâerâs warning at the last second.
âYun Hai!â Finally, Yun Xi said a common name in White Lotus Sword Domain.
Yun Hai the Sword Master was the whole White Lotus Sword Domainâs pride. He had once helped White Lotus Sword Domain promote to become a middle-level sword domain, and was one of the founders of White Lotus Sword Palace and a Sky Sword!
People in White Lotus Sword Domain often named their children âYun Haiâ, hoping that their children would be as great as Yun Hai the Sword Master.
âYun Hai... What a memorable name...â Water God blinked.
Ah! Yun Xi suddenly realized that as an ancient creature, Water God must have lived a long life.
If Water Godâs true identity was the monster sleeping in the Eye of the Storm, then it may really have met Yun Hai the Sword Master in the past.
Besides, the stars told him specifically that a Sky Sword would appear in his star trial. Would it be Yun Hai?
âSo, you are my old friendâs descendant. No wonder that I feel a sense of familiarity from you. Just in time, after a month, my world will hold a ceremony. You can be my apostle. I hope that you can help me find the most beautiful and excellent bride for me.â Water Godâs Eye turned into a stream of transparent crystals and fell to Yun Xi.
Yun Xi heard a series of system beeps.
âYou have chosen your camp. You have become Water Godâs apostle. Once you finish choosing your camp, you canât change or betray your camp. Please play as Water Godâs apostle in this world. The world line has been changed. Please help Water God find the most beautiful bride to complete its wish.â
...
......
...!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yun Xi didnât expect that his lie about his true identity directly made him leave the human camp and become the Water Godâs apostle.
What did this mean? It meant that he could never join the human camp to fight against this worldâs boss together with Hua Huo, the twin witches, Hua Yue and Xiao Cao!
Why? Why canât I challenge the worldâs strongest boss together with the others?
Why did the worldâs ultimate boss directly find me and select me to become its subordinate?
âI have lived a long, long life. To be honest, Iâm tired. As this worldâs god, I desire change, even if it means new enemies. My old friendâs descendant, can you help me look around the world with your eyes? I want to see what will be changed in this new century. The world may have boundless beauties, but only one love is needed in my life. As a god, Iâm looking for a person who can span time and space, becoming my lover!â
Countless mist crystals converged on Yun Xiâs face, finally turning into a silver mask, covering Yun Xiâs face.
âHence, I give you my mask. You will become my eyes, my ears, my sword, to look for my bride!â
With four white sharp horns projecting upright from the mask, the mask looked like some dragonâs mark.
âRemember, you have my mask, so you can use my power. You will become the âutawarerumonoâ! [1]â
The system beep echoed in Yun Xiâs mind again, âYou have been recognized by Water God. You have obtained Water Godâs Mask. After you wear the mask, you will obtain the fake âpower of kingâ.â
[1] utawarerumono: the person who is eulogized in poems and songs.
