The Main God Speaks
Feeling the uniquely humid air of Shadow Street, Li Wei stared silently at the newly appeared prompt on the Black Paper.
There was only one sentence on the Black Paper.
"Forced mission will begin in three minutes."
How could this be? I just returned from the mission world!
Li Wei angrily threw a punch, slamming it into a black building next to him, instantly creating a crack in the wall.
At this moment, Li Wei's suppressed combat power has been fully restored.
Just an hour ago, Zhang Sanfeng and Dongfang Bubai, who were standing beside Li Wei, were stronger than Li Wei to some extent. But now, all they felt from Li Wei was absolute dominance.
Zhang Sanfeng was completely astonished when he entered Shadow Street. In all his experience, he had never seen such a bizarre scene. What he found even more unbelievable was why Li Wei, who had always been a near-Grandmaster level expert, had suddenly become so much stronger.
At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng believed that even if there were dozens of him, they would no longer pose any threat to Li Wei. The powerful aura that Li Wei was displaying at this moment seemed to suggest that he could be defeated in a single move.
This feeling did not make Zhang Sanfeng feel disappointed; on the contrary, it made him even more excited.
He was a martial arts enthusiast by nature, otherwise he would not have become a grandmaster. After founding the Wudang Sect, he spent decades traveling the martial arts world, and with the addition of seclusion to comprehend the Tao, he created Tai Chi Fist and Tai Chi Sword. His martial arts skills reached the pinnacle, the pinnacle of human achievement.
Humans all have an inclination to strive for improvement, and Zhang Sanfeng was no exception.
However, this kind of 'bottleneck' is by no means easy to break through. Sure enough, another ten years or so passed, and he remained in the same place, with no real improvement except for his martial arts skills becoming more refined.
But Li Wei's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.
When Zhang Sanfeng signed his name on the Yellow Paper, he finally had an epiphany. His stagnant cultivation began to show signs of improvement.
He thought he could pull Li Wei further ahead, but now it seems that Li Wei never used his full strength from the start. Take this building in 'Shadow Street' for example, it's harder than steel. He doubted he could crack it with a single punch, but Li Wei just did.
Dongfang Bubai, standing to the side, shared the same sentiment as Zhang Sanfeng. The two masters exchanged a glance, then fell silent and stood quietly behind Li Wei.
"Damn it, there are only two minutes left. If that's the case, I won't have time to go back and see Yu Tong and the others," Li Wei thought helplessly.
Just then, streaks of white light flashed, and the figures of reincarnators began to appear in Shadow Street.
It seems that after receiving the notification that Shadow Street had reopened, they all opened the passage and returned to the mysterious town.
"One minute left," Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of his 'Devour' skill as Destroyer, Li Wei immediately recalled the requirements for learning it: Devour skill, level one, requires '1 Perfect*-level Quest Medal', '2 pieces of Excellent Mystic Iron', and '1*-level Skill Book '.
Aside from the last item, Li Wei could easily obtain, Li Wei had never even heard of the other two. Fortunately, Shadow Street had reopened, so these items could definitely be acquired in the quest world. He could only proceed step by step from now on.
"Thirty seconds left," Li Wei said, putting away the Black Paper and speaking to Zhang Sanfeng and Dongfang Bubai behind him, instructing them to enter the real world and settle in Three Heroes City. They could also improve their martial arts skills in Shadow Street.
In the final ten seconds, Li Wei leaned against the wall, waiting for the teleportation to begin.
Suddenly, Li Wei spotted several familiar faces among the figures of the reincarnators constantly appearing in Shadow Street.
Zheng Yutong, Nina, and Xue Yan.
It turned out to be the three of them; judging from their appearance, they seemed to be looking for someone.
Li Wei chuckled. The person they were looking for must be him. He had spent almost a year in the mission world, and nearly a month had passed in the real world. He really did miss them.
Li Wei was about to wave hello when he was suddenly engulfed by a white light. When the light dissipated, he had vanished without a trace.
When Li Wei regained his sight, he found himself in a desolate wilderness.
There was silence at first, with Li Wei maintaining the gesture of greeting, but he soon erupted.
"Damn it!" Li Wei punched a small tree next to him. The 'Shockwave Fist' activated automatically. With the air shattering, a large grove of trees vanished, leaving only a pile of rocks and tree fragments.
The mission started at such a crucial moment.
Could this also be something that damned 'Main God' designed specifically for us?
Li Wei thought bitterly.
This time, however, Li Wei's mutterings received a response.
"Young Destroyer, you guessed right. Indeed, that 'damn' me deliberately activated the mission teleportation two seconds early."
The sound seemed to be right next to his ear, startling Li Wei. He instinctively looked around.
The surrounding area was filled with tall shrubs, and in the distance were steep cliffs. Apart from a few flying insects hovering over the plants, there was no one else around.
"Who is it?" Although Li Wei possessed extraordinary skills, he was still terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. According to his perception, if there were anyone around, he would have sensed them long ago.
Unless...
Li Wei's expression changed drastically, but the voice rang out again. "I already said, I am that damned Main God."
The Main God, the one who deliberately made things difficult for me in the last mission world?
Just as Dongfang Bubai said, it only has a sound, yet it is an invisible entity. No wonder even a master as powerful as Dongfang Bubai had no choice but to obey the arrangement of this Main God.
The voice seemed to be mocking Li Wei, laughing as it continued, "Last time you dragged Dongfang Bubai to Shadow Street, I turned a blind eye, and we let it go. However, since your resurrection, your progress in strength has been far too unsatisfactory, which is why I intervened and increased the difficulty of the missions to train you."
These words struck Li Wei like a bomb.
"How did you know that I was resurrected?" This was a closely guarded secret for Li Wei. Apart from Zheng Yutong, An Hei, and a few others, no one knew his identity.
How did that damned Main God know?
The Main God seemed to know everything, and said calmly, "The reason I know all this is because, without me, you would have been completely annihilated in that self-destruction, understand?"
This was a situation Li Wei had never anticipated. After the self-destruction, during the period between his resurrection and his return to life, his memory seemed to be in a vacuum; he couldn't remember anything. How he was resurrected, and why he possessed the Sky Fox physique—all of this remained a mystery.
Li Wei had thought about this question more than once, but all his attempts came to nothing.
At this moment, this guy called the Main God seemed to know all of this, and according to what he said, Li Wei's resurrection was also closely related to the other party. This was an unexpected gain for Li Wei.
"Could it be that you saved me?" After thinking it over, Li Wei could only think of this possibility.
As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, the voice laughed twice, "You guessed right, I did save you. Of course, if you hadn't accidentally obtained the Black Paper, I wouldn't have saved you... Now, you know about the existence of the Starfield, right? But do you know that, including you, your Earth Star is just a piece of meat in the mouths of those powerful Destroyer, and could be devoured by them at any time?"
Li Wei retorted indignantly, "I still have time..."
"Time? Hmph, you have nothing. If a star field doesn't have an S-class powerhouse in charge, there's only one outcome: it will eventually be devoured by an even more powerful Destroyer, including all living beings, resources, and minerals within that star field. Do you understand? Everything. After devouring all of that, the Destroyer will become an even more terrifying existence. Some powerful Destroyer are even comparable to me. Damn it, I am the Main God who created all of this! After they became powerful, they dared to defy me! How despicable!"
Seemingly recalling some unhappy past events, the Main God shouted angrily.
Li Wei couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all. After waiting for a while, the Main God finally calmed down, and his voice sounded slightly tired.
"I need a powerful Destroyer to help me deal with those bastards. And I'm not afraid you'll be unhappy, but including you, I've selected a total of 132 Destroyer. As long as any of you surpasses S9 level and reaches 'that' realm, you will break free from all the shackles of 'rules' and officially become my allies, fighting together against those lawless guys. Right now, you're just a hunting dog I've kept. If you don't want to be eliminated, become stronger. Surpass S9 level, and only then can you truly understand this world," the Main God's voice was filled with excitement.
S9 level?
Li Wei felt a little dizzy. The most powerful person he had ever seen was the Sword Saint from the Legend of Sword Immortal World, but even the Sword Saint's level was only S2.
So how strong will the S9 level be?
Although it seemed unbelievable, Li Wei had to admit that everything the Main God said was very tempting; the mere phrase "can break free from the shackles of all rules" was enough to entice some people.
However, Li Wei was also very clear that there were some muddy waters he couldn't wade into, and besides, he couldn't possibly believe everything the Main God said based on just a few words.
"You don't believe what I'm saying?" Clearly, the Main God had read Li Wei's thoughts, and his voice became somewhat low.
"Yes," Li Wei replied directly. Right now, this guy who claims to be the Main God can only show him the ability to speak to him through telepathy and read his thoughts. Apart from that, Li Wei doesn't know what else this Main God can do.
However, the Main God soon proved Li Wei's abilities.
