You Really Are Filthy

It is extremely difficult to move forward in a typhoon.

According to Lu Ban's estimate, the wind force is definitely over level 16, with a maximum wind speed of over 50 meters per second. Combined with the heavy rain, it's like bullets hitting a person head-on.

Umbrellas are completely useless, and raincoats only make you more susceptible to being blown away by the wind. Lu Ban walked in the rain with his small backpack, feeling as if the world was ending.

Laika shook off the water, but was completely soaked again in the next second. It simply opened its mouth, freeing itself from its corgi form and reverting to its hideous monster form.

Lu Ban felt that if he continued to get soaked in the rain, the grass on his body would grow to three feet tall. He turned around and glanced at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu was completely dry.

All the rain seemed to fear her, avoiding her and forming an invisible barrier.

"Is this magic?"

Lu Ban thought of the magical barriers in the Night Country, but the magical barriers made Lu Ban clearly feel that there was "something" in them, like invisible glass, but there was nothing around Feng Yu.

Those raindrops simply happened to avoid Feng Yu, or perhaps they did so intentionally.

This feeling made Lu Ban feel as if even if Feng Yu walked on the battlefield where the two sides were fiercely fighting, the bullets, shells, shrapnel, and gravel would avoid her.

"It's complicated to explain, but you can think of it as racial talent."

Feng Yu did not stop to explain, but walked quickly toward the ruins.

When the two arrived at the spot where the lightning had struck, the three people had naturally disappeared.

Lu Ban bent down and looked at the footprints in the soil. These people did not try to hide their intentions and walked directly towards the tomb of a king in the Nan Madol ruins.

"Is this the Chosen of the Gods?"

That was the only thing Lu Ban could think of.

A person appearing suddenly amidst unusually intense weather and lightning is clearly a characteristic of Chosen of the Gods has traversed another realm.

So this time, you're going to help the Chosen of the Gods complete another mission?

Lu Ban didn't really want to work for free.

If Silence Points could be traded, that would be great! I could collect protection money from the Chosen of the Gods transmigrated to this world, letting them use the goods in the Silence Department Store as tolls. Little by little, it would add up. Once the trading function was enabled, I could sell all the goods that the Chosen of the Gods had voluntarily left behind for the construction of this world and make a fortune.

He suddenly felt hopeful again.

Yes and no.

Feng Yu shook his head.

She said this as she walked toward the tomb.

"What's the meaning?"

Lu Ban became slightly wary. In this situation, if it wasn't Chosen of the Gods, then it certainly wasn't a close friend.

Be extremely careful around anything related to other realms or evil gods.

"Have you ever wondered why it's called the Silent Land?"

Feng Yu arrived at the entrance of the tomb. It was completely different from when they had explored it in good weather. The broken, toppled, and collapsed stone pillars were now standing there perfectly intact, as if they had never been destroyed.

Those obelisk-like towers, those stone pillars with intricate patterns, and those walls that skilled craftsmen had spent decades carving out, now seemed to have traveled through time and appeared before Lu Ban.

"What the Silent Land? If it's not the Silent Land, what else could it be?"

Lu Ban glanced at the open gate of the tomb. It was dark and deep inside, with no end in sight and no sound coming from within.

Give me your hand.

Feng Yu reached out his hand to Lu Ban.

The moment Lu Ban grasped that hand, Feng Yu vanished.

No, to be precise, it was Feng Yu, who was a human, who disappeared.

Laika took a half step back and let out a low growl in Lu Ban's direction, but it did not stop everything from happening.

In an instant, Feng Yu seemed to melt away, turning into a wisp of white smoke that swirled around Lu Ban and flowed into his body with Lu Ban breath.

All these changes happened in an instant, and Lu Ban didn't even have time to react.

"Your body is really dirty."

Feng Yu's voice rang in Lu Ban's ears.

"?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but ask himself a question.

"What, are you excited now that a beautiful girl has entered your body?"

Feng Yu's teasing voice rang in Lu Ban's ears again.

What are you doing?

Lu Ban asked a question, still worried that Feng Yu might try to possess him.

"Be aware of your surroundings."

Feng Yu didn't explain, but instead reminded Lu Ban of something.

Lu Ban then realized that all the raindrops had bypassed him, just like Feng Yu had done before.

He raised his hand to try to touch it, but found that all the raindrops avoided his fingers perfectly, not a single one falling into his palm.

"What follows might be a little hard to accept, but you should be fine."

As soon as Feng Yu finished speaking, Lu Ban felt the surrounding scenery disappear.

No, it wasn't some trick where Feng Yu stole his sight or plunged him into complete darkness.

"The light avoided me?"

Lu Ban immediately realized what was happening.

Just as the raindrops avoided Feng Yu, now all the light is avoiding Lu Ban.

Visually, Lu Ban is now in a state of invisibility, similar to a transparent person. However, since human vision is based on the information obtained after light shines into the eyeball, he also loses his vision after all the light bypasses Lu Ban.

Fortunately, Lu Ban possesses the [True Sight].

Now, in his eyes, the world has been reconstructed once again.

However, this is not a scene created by the reflection of light, but a more essential presentation of the picture. Just like these stone pillars, in Lu Ban's eyes they do not actually look like pillars, but he can tell at a glance that they are stone pillars.

For example, even though Laika is now disguised as a corgi, Lu Ban can still tell that it is Hound, a hunter that hunts down those who cross into other worlds.

This is a vision that ignores false perceptions and goes straight to the essence.

And that's why, in Lu Ban's eyes, the city became increasingly terrifying.

Those stone pillars, walls, and towers were far from being human creations. They were toys sculpted by the power of Unnamable Great Being. The patterns and words on those stone pillars all revealed distortion and madness. Just staring at these patterns made Lu Ban feel dizzy and instinctively nauseous. He looked away and focused his attention on what was in front of him.

He saw three people in the deep darkness, in the underground tomb.

At this moment, the true nature of the three people was also transmitted to Lu Ban through the [True Sight].

Indeed, as Feng Yu said, the three of them are both Chosen of the Gods and not Chosen of the Gods.

Upon realizing this fact, Lu Ban felt a surge of heat within his body. Foul-smelling, bright red blood flowed from his nose, eyes, mouth, and ears. Within just a few seconds of noticing this, three of his internal organs ruptured, and Lu Ban's brain temperature suddenly rose, steaming in the cold rain.

The next moment, more green plants tried to plug the ruptured blood vessels and repair the damaged internal organs.

"As expected, the harm is still too great."

Feng Yu's voice resonated in Lu Ban's already ruptured eardrums. He seemed to hear A Sigh, and then Lu Ban felt his body become burning hot. The plants were propelled by another, more absolute force, and his body, which from a human medical perspective could be declared beyond repair, began to repair itself at an astonishing speed.

Unseen by Lu Ban, countless tentacles spread from the wounds, intertwining and transforming into a perfect suture that even the most skilled surgeon could not achieve. In just a moment, Lu Ban felt the damage to his body being repaired.

At the same time, as a price for the erosion of his body, Lu Ban gained knowledge that Feng Yu had not directly told him.

Why is it the Silent Land?

Why is he the Silent Chosen?

Why are these people both Chosen of the Gods and not Chosen of the Gods?

The answer is so simple that it's almost laughable.

Because there is more than one God.
