The God of Night's Reward
* Whoosh! *
October Flying Snow drew an elegant arc in the air, and another insectoid fell to the ground. Xia Fei put away his dagger and Celestial Moon, lit a cigarette, and sat down on the steps of the temple.
Three whole days of slaughter had turned this virtual planet into a scorched land of blood and tears, no longer showing any signs of life.
In truth, there were still many people that Xia Fei had not killed, but he had unexpectedly stopped.
"Number Seven, you've probably lost," Xia Fei yelled at the sky.
"I didn't!" Number Seven suddenly appeared next to Xia Fei, a flustered and exasperated look on his face.
Xia Fei found it funny, glancing at him as he softly said, That's the 9999th. You said that there are only so many people on this planet, and I've already killed enough of them. Unless you're trying to go back on your word, one of them will surely be you.
The veins on Number Seven's head were bulging. Xia Fei's method was truly the only way out. This test left behind by the God of Night was essentially a trap. The temple, the sand, the camel grass — these clues existed to confuse others and make them think that this was a riddle to solve.
In truth, this was just a test of frenzied slaughter! There were two prerequisites. First, in order to pass the test, one had to have outstanding analytical ability and quickly judge the problem. Second, one had to have extraordinary means to find the virtual characters scattered all over the planet and kill them within the specified time. Neither of the two could be missing.
This test was truly cruel. Xia Fei appeared to be unaffected, but his mental endurance and physical strength had been severely tested. Killing people was not as simple as crushing an ant. They would cry for help, cry, and do all sorts of things that intelligent lifeforms would do before they died.
Perhaps there were people who could kill those vicious criminals without mercy, but what about innocent girls and children? What about one hundred million innocent girls and children?
"Impossible! If you've already passed the test, why hasn't the divine sense left behind by the God of Night appeared? Although you've killed many people, you've still lost in the end! "Number Seven stubbornly said.
In truth, he was not very confident, for the crystal ball that represented his passing had already turned completely black. He had only concluded that Xia Fei had not passed because the virtual planet was the same as usual.
* Pa! *
Xia Fei lightly slapped his head and self-deprecatingly said, "Look at my memory. How could I have forgotten about that?"
"What is it?" Number Seven asked curiously.
Screech!
Xia Fei teleported from the steps in front of the temple to behind Number Seven, a dagger in his right hand. It was not October Flying Snow but the Adjudicator Union elite dagger that Thuram had given him. There was now a fine cut on Number Seven's head.
I almost forgot. You also said that I must kill you. Xia Fei put away the knife.
Bang!
Number Seven's small black body suddenly exploded! A pale blue flame flew out from his body, and eight other similar flames flew over from afar, mixing with No.7's flame.
The ground beneath his feet began to crack, and the buildings began to collapse. Within a few seconds, the planet turned into a beam of light and rapidly fled into the distant sea of stars.
Xia Fei found himself standing in space once more. There was nothingness beneath his feet, and there was also nothingness above his head.
The light blue flame quickly tumbled and gradually formed a human figure. However, this human figure was wearing a mask and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Eh?" The blue flame let out a surprised sigh. "You're … a human?"
Xia Fei nodded. He found it extremely strange that a flame could speak, but after experiencing so many inconceivable things, this feeling of surprise had clearly diminished.
"Hahahaha …"
The humanoid flame looked up at the sky and laughed, its laughter cold and emotionless, like the voice of a demon or ghost in a movie.
On Xia Fei's shoulder, Furball bared his teeth at the flame, seemingly dissatisfied that it had disturbed his sleep.
"Oh, there's also a little fellow." The humanoid flame smiled and nodded, seemingly very fond of Furball.
Sighing, it said in a desolate voice, "Could it really be the will of heaven? The gift I carefully prepared for the insectoids was actually given to a human by these fools. "
"Hahahaha …"
"Fine. Since they don't cherish the chance, what can I do? I'll let you have it easy, human. "
The humanoid blue flame seemed to be talking to itself, and it was very likely that this flame was some sort of divine sense left behind by the God Race. Xia Fei was very curious about the God Race, and just as he was wondering if he should use this opportunity to ask something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left arm, as if something was tearing at his flesh.
He hurriedly removed his combat suit and saw that a small black snake had crawled up his left arm at some point, burrowing under his skin like a blood-sucking bug.
It coiled up on Xia Fei's arm and then became motionless, turning into a pattern. The black color grew darker and darker, gradually filling up the pattern, revealing hair-like lines.
The pattern was very profound, as if it was an empty space in the universe. The lines were complicated, and staring at it for too long would make one dizzy.
"What is this?" Xia Fei gritted his teeth and asked.
The humanoid flame laughed. "This is your reward."
"What does it do?"
"Well … You might not understand now, but you'll understand one day in the future. When that time comes, you'll know just how much of a gift I've given you."
The humanoid flame looked at Xia Fei with satisfaction and sternly said, "Goodbye, human. I hope to see you again one day."
He raised his head to look at the sea of stars and sighed. "Since the insectoids are so ungrateful, there's no need to take this gift back."
* Whoosh! *
The humanoid flame waved its sleeves, sending Xia Fei back to that pyramid-shaped room.
* Rumble! *
The entire room — no, the entire mountain — was shaking!
Xia Fei had no time to think and hurriedly rushed out of the room. It was a mess outside, with small rocks falling from the ceiling from time to time. The ground was shaking so much that it was difficult to stand, and the tables and chairs were toppling over. Xia Fei's first thought was: was this an earthquake?!
…
In the sealed room were Halleh and ten-some elders from the insectoid Guild of the Wise. On the screen was Qingliu, and Xia Fei was sitting across from them with Furball in his arms. It was like a trial.
Xia Fei was nonchalantly smoking, and Furball was snoring in his arms, but the other insectoids did not look so relaxed. Each of them had a distressed look on their faces as if they were being chased to their doorstep for a debt.
Qingliu gulped and furrowed his brows. "First of all, I have to congratulate you for passing the Primal Chaos Trial that no insectoid has ever been able to pass. From now on, you're our partner. Let's kill Uti together and stop this war that no one wants to see."
When he said that he congratulated Xia Fei on passing the Primal Chaos Trial, someone let out a sigh. This emotion quickly spread to the others, and several sighs filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred could be heard.
Qingliu changed the topic and sternly said, "But can you explain why the learning test system left behind by the God of Night completely collapsed after you passed? It was neither too early nor too late. "
Xia Fei shrugged. He carelessly rubbed his left arm, which was still burning with pain, and smiled. "I can guarantee that I wasn't the one who did it."
Halleh was so angry that he blew his beard. Of course, Xia Fei was not the one who had caused such a huge commotion. A ten-thousand-meter-long hole had appeared in the middle of Black Peak Mountain, three kilometers deep, as if someone had used an axe to split it open. If Xia Fei had this ability, he would have long since become a god.
To the insectoids, the loss of Black Peak Mountain had a huge impact. For tens of thousands of years, this place had been an important place for the insectoid race to train warriors. After the insectoids began to mutate on a large scale, this place became even more important. Not only did it teach warriors how to fight, it also taught them how to use their intelligence.
Now that this perfect system left behind by a god had been lost, no one could feel good about it. What was even worse was that this system might have been lost because of a human. Moreover, Xia Fei had accomplished what the insectoid predecessors had not been able to do: break through the Primal Chaos Trial!
"Let's not talk about this for now. Can you tell us about the Primal Chaos Trial? As the highest-level trial left behind by the God of Night, its contents must be extraordinary, right? "
Xia Fei spat on the ground as he mentally remarked, 'It truly is extraordinary. Even I'm going soft from all the killing. What Primal Chaos Trial? It's just an asura field.'
Glancing around, Xia Fei saw the expectant gazes of these people, and he suddenly had an idea.
"I met the God of Night," Xia Fei solemnly said, his attitude extremely serious.
Everyone paled in fright! The God of Night and the God of Day were the only gods in the history of the insectoid race, and they held lofty positions in the hearts of all insectoids. As a human, Xia Fei had actually met the legendary gods! Envy, jealousy, and hatred began to rise in everyone's hearts.
"Is that so? What does the God of Night look like? What instructions does he have?! "Halleh anxiously asked.
Xia Fei glared at him and sternly said, "How can mortals like us peep at the appearance of a god?!"
His tone was so stern that it was like an elder reprimanding a junior. Halleh's heart spasmed, his face paling, sweat dripping down his face. He could only blame himself for being too disrespectful.
"You don't know this, but the moment the God of Night appeared, I felt a powerful pressure! I couldn't even breathe, and my legs went limp, causing me to kneel there! I didn't even dare to raise my head! "
"Oh! Oh! " Everyone nodded. In their minds, gods were incomparably dignified, and everything Xia Fei said was logical. Though they had never seen a god before, they could not help but feel their legs turn to jelly when they heard Xia Fei talk about it in such a stern manner.
"Truly an unimaginable power! I, Xia Fei, believed that being able to cultivate to this point in my life would make me a top-class warrior, but who knew that I would feel true fear when I saw the God of Night! It was as if this god of the insectoids could crush me with a single finger! "
Xia Fei clutched his heart with one hand as he spoke with lingering fear in his heart. His expression was unreadable, and he looked extremely terrified. His acting was admirable, and everyone believed it to be true. They were so engrossed in Xia Fei's story that they could not extricate themselves.
