"Congratulations to the challenger, Zhu Xing, for obtaining the Sorcerer Goddess's inheritance!"
A lady's voice was heard in the sky and everyone in the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine could hear it clearly. Be it the 12 outer palaces or the inner palaces, even Lin Huang and Zhu Xing who were in the sky, they could hear it clearly.
This prompt caused everyone to be stunned. Thereafter, many of them immediately began to inquire about Zhu Xing's identity.
In the sky, Wu Zhi was stunned to hear the notification as well.
"What does that mean? Was Wu Mo trying to scare me? No one else passed the assessment so I'm the one who obtained the inheritance? "
The thought only lasted for less than ten seconds before Wu Zhi denied it. He realized that there were still a few minutes left before the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine closed. Apart from the notification, he did not receive any rewards related to the inheritance or any new information in his head.
"Wu Mo, are you kidding me?!"
Wu Zhi shouted at the sky angrily when he sensed that there was something wrong with the notification. However, as soon as he shouted, he realized that he had made a mistake. Based on his understanding of Wu Mo, he knew that Wu Mo would not do something so senseless even if she did not want him to obtain the inheritance. "No, it's not you. It's the kid who obtained the inheritance! Since he obtained the inheritance, he should be able to control part of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine. The kid must be the one who started this rumor! "
Zhu Xing did not spend much effort to figure out that Lin Huang was the mastermind behind this incident.
Wu Mo remained silent. At this point in time, anything she said would give Wu Zhi more leverage over her. It was better for her to refuse to communicate with Wu Zhi and not provide any useful information.
On the other hand, Wu Mo contacted Lin Huang again.
"Wu Zhi has already guessed that this is your little trick. He knows me too well to know that I won't frame him for my own benefit. Moreover, he knows that not only did you obtain my inheritance, you've also obtained part of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine's authority. "
"It seems like he's smarter than I thought. However, it doesn't matter. Let him know. "Lin Huang was not worried at all.
"Aren't you afraid that he'll reveal the truth and tell everyone that you're the real inheritor of the inheritance?" Wu Mo asked.
"He wants to become a True God and has been planning for tens of thousands of years. Do you think he will share the truth that I am the inheritor of the inheritance with others and give others a chance to get a share?" Lin Huang asked with a smile.
"I won't." Hearing Lin Huang's question, Wu Mo immediately realized that Lin Huang had made use of Wu Zhi's personality.
"That's right. When an ordinary person was framed, they would definitely try their best to absolve themselves. The simplest way was to tell the truth. However, Wu Zhi was not an ordinary person. Since he was able to endure for tens of thousands of years, it was obvious that he was very patient. He definitely wouldn't lose his rationality just because I purposely set him up. He wouldn't reveal the truth and tell the others that I was the true inheritor of the inheritance, which would increase the number of competitors for the inheritance. To him, it was enough that he was the only one who knew the truth. As for my framing, he would choose to accept it silently. At most, he would defend himself when he's being chased by others, but he would never reveal the truth. You can say that he's more desperate than I am to keep the secret that I'm the true inheritor of the inheritance. This is because the fewer people who know the truth, the higher the possibility of him keeping the inheritance to himself. "
After listening to Lin Huang's analysis, Wu Mo suddenly realized that Lin Huang was not a simple person.
"You're right. Based on Wu Zhi's personality, he'll keep the secret even if he's being framed. Moreover, he's an arrogant guy who's not afraid of challenges from others. Your plan of diverting the trouble to someone else is indeed a smart move. It'll bring him a lot of trouble. However, Wu Zhi is a vengeful fella. He'll definitely find a chance to get back at you for setting him up this time. You'd better be careful. Based on his abilities, it's not difficult for him to break through your plan. The moment he escapes will be the moment he starts looking for trouble with you. "
"I won't be able to handle him if he keeps hiding and comes looking for trouble with me after his combat strength has leveled up to Virtual God. However, if he comes looking for trouble with me before his combat strength recovers, I'll welcome him with open arms. "Lin Huang was not afraid of Wu Zhi, who used to be a Virtual God.
Since Lin Huang had said so, Wu Mo did not say anything else. From Lin Huang's plan of diverting the trouble to someone else, she knew that this young man was much more mature than she had expected. It would not be easy to make him suffer, even if he was once a Virtual God. She could also see that there was no fear in Lin Huang's eyes. He was not pretending to be brave, but he was really not afraid of Wu Zhi.
In the starry sky, Wu Zhi did not receive any response from Wu Mo. The silence made him even more certain that Lin Huang was the one who had framed him.
"Wu Mo, I have to admit that the inheritor that you've chosen is a smart fella. He knows how to make the first move and set me up so that he can buy himself some time. That's a good move. I'm afraid I won't be able to find trouble with him for the time being. "
"However, please tell him that it's too early for him to be happy. Once I'm done with my small troubles, I'll show him what real trouble is. I'm a person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. You should know that very well. When I get my hands on him, I'll show him what it feels like to wish he was dead! "
"Alright, you don't have to spout any harsh words. The Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine is closing soon. Think about how you're going to get out of this. There are many people who want to kill you and snatch the inheritance. "Wu Mo sounded like she was gloating.
"They're just a bunch of small fries. It'll take me some time to get rid of them. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed if you want to see me make a fool of myself." It was obvious that Wu Zhi did not care much about the others.
"Since I can't see you make a fool of yourself, it's good to watch the show. You have to perform well. I have high hopes for you. "Wu Mo did not say anything else after saying that.
The calmer Wu Mo was, the more annoyed Wu Zhi was. He tried to communicate with Wu Mo a few more times but there was no response. He then fell into silence and waited for the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine to close.
In another part of the starry sky, Lin Huang and Wu Mo started chatting again.
"Sister Mo Mo, have you thought about my previous suggestion?"
"What suggestion?" Wu Mo asked even though she already knew the answer.
"Leave this floating land with me. You promised me that you'll leave with me once I've obtained your inheritance. Now that I've obtained it, shouldn't you fulfill your promise? "Lin Huang brought up the topic again.
"Why do you insist on bringing me along?" Wu Mo asked after a moment of silence.
"I actually have my own selfish reasons. The catastrophe of the Abyss Brink will arrive in less than five years. I hope that I can help you recover within five years. By then, you'll be a great help to us in this war. In this era, humans are too weak. The strongest one is a severely injured Virtual God while the rest are demigods. If we're attacked by the Abyss in our current state, we'll definitely lose. We don't have a chance of winning at all. "
"Do you want to be a savior?" Wu Mo did not sound happy or sad when she asked the question.
"I don't want to be a savior. I just don't want to see my family and friends die in this catastrophe. My sister is only 16 this year while many of my friends are only in their early twenties. They shouldn't die at such a young age. "
Wu Mo remained silent for a long time. Just when Lin Huang thought that she would not agree to it, she finally said, "Alright, I promise you. I'll leave with you!"
Just as she finished speaking, another notification rang out, but this time, it was a notification.
"The Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine is closing. All challengers, please get ready to leave. The countdown begins now. 10, 9, 8 … 3, 2, 1. "
