Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 733 - 88 Tang Xian’s 7th Day

733: Chapter 88: Tang Xian’s 7th Day

733 -88: Tang Xian’s 7th Day

Sacred Mountain, the fifth and sixth days.

No one yet knew of God’s disappearance, for the divine being was known to vanish and reappear at times.

Tang Xian still dealt with the putrid flesh presented as offerings to the disappeared God, tossing all of it down the base of the Sacred Mountain.

He knew, in fact, that this act held little meaning.

But seeing things through had become habit, and if not for the lack of time, he would’ve even conned a long-eared ancient ape and cultivated it into an inside man.

Perhaps even a group of insiders.

To keep the Sacred Mountain constantly in an atmosphere where a mole has halted all trades.

The vision was pleasant.

Yet all Tang Xian could do now was read.

Over five days, he had perused all the books he could find.

He memorized everything.

In terms of understanding the mining area, Tang Xian was now unparalleled throughout history.

Though he hadn’t located several beast gods, he had already drawn the entire map of the mining world in his mind, which, compared to the existing maps of the Human World, contained many more details.

It was during the dead of night that Tang Xian started planning his infiltration, how to bypass the Judge and spy on those humans.

But this plan died within twenty minutes.

For that night, the Judge—emerged from the altar ahead of time.

[You killed God’s disappearance.]

“God’s disappearance?

What are you talking about?

I don’t know.”

The Judge appeared before Tang Xian, and his heart was filled with surprise.

[Its aura has vanished.]

“Otherwise, why would it be called ‘God’s disappearance’?”

Tang Xian looked at the Judge with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

The chill wind howled, and in this wooded area, the moonlight shone upon the ice crystals, producing a pure light.

The Judge and Tang Xian stood there, and the scene almost seemed beautiful.

But the thoughts in their minds did not match the scenery.

The Judge already had some guesses about the fate of God’s disappearance, yet said nothing.

Instead, it was Tang Xian who spoke first:

“I’ve finished reading the books in the Sacred Mountain’s library.

What I wanted to know about this world was not included in them.”

[Everything I know is there.

How are you considering the matter of pledging loyalty to the Court?]

The lineage of Eden was one of the methods for healing oneself.

Before the altar was ready, the Judge did not wish for Tang Xian to harbor any resistance.

Tang Xian had harbored resistance for a long time, but the Sacred Mountain was not easy to enter, and he also wanted to gather more information…

“I need to return to my place and consult with my family about this matter.”

[You have a family?] The Judge expressed skepticism.

“Just because you’re an orphan, must the whole world be orphans too?” Tang Xian wouldn’t let the Judge have the upper hand, not even in a verbal exchange.

The Judge did not understand and said:

[In this world, only you have the power to influence your own fate.

I respect your will.]

“Then let me go back.”

[However, I cannot let you leave.

The day after tomorrow, I will take you to a place.

There, you will see everything you wish to know.

Consider your decision after you’ve seen it.]

The Judge’s tone was very steady.

But to Tang Xian, this tone was all too familiar.

It was just like his conversations with that god in the divine realm.

This was a trap, but it seemed that the Judge also needed to make adequate preparations to kill him, preparations that would be completed on the seventh day after his arrival at the Sacred Mountain.

After pondering for a while, he nodded and said:

“Okay, I understand.”

Once Tang Xian had responded, the Judge departed.

Watching the Judge’s slowly vanishing figure, a hint of wariness flashed in Tang Xian’s eyes.

That night, Tang Xian did nothing else and patiently awaited the day after next, which was the seventh day.

For Tang Xian, the fifth and sixth days were indistinguishable.

For the world of humanity, it was like a plague beginning to sweep through the Pyramid.

People’s various perceptions of the Pyramid started to shift slowly.

In these two days, the abnormal behavior of the judgment knights began to incite panic and dread.

…

…

Sacred Mountain, the seventh day.

The Sacred Mountain still stood in the Far North, a place Akasi had once visited, known as Red Lotus Hell.

Though the name seemed unrelated to cold.

Yet Red Lotus Hell was, indeed, engulfed by snow and ice year-round.

In Red Lotus Hell, there was a legend.

Akasi had once wanted to know if this legend held any truth.

But at the time, he dared not listen.

He and Tang Suoye could easily kill an Elk Bear here, but they also dared not truly peer beneath the ice lake to confirm if Red Lotus Hell was a gigantic turtle.

Just as the long-eared ancient apes, although curious and eager to learn, also dared not dig tunnels within the Sacred Mountain to uncover the secret that the mountain was actually an unnamed colossal flying creature.

Tang Xian looked at the scenery of Red Lotus Hell thoughtfully, while the Xuan Bird at his side appeared rather impatient and uneasy.

“Don’t rush.

Since I am going to my death, it must be graceful.

If I were to rush over there hastily, wouldn’t that just be sending a useless head?”

The Xuan Bird didn’t understand some of Tang Xian’s human phrases, but Tang Xian didn’t mind and continued on:

“Do you know?

The Judge found me the day before yesterday.”

The Xuan Bird remained silent.

“It asked me what we talked about.

I said it’s nothing much, just a chat about whether you might consider working for me in the future.

I can lead you to your master.”

Tang Xian turned his head away from the scenery of Red Lotus Hell and looked at the Xuan Bird with a mischievous smile:

“So guess why the Judge wants to summon me to the altar?

Having been in the Court for hundreds of years, have you never set foot in that place?

Why is it called the altar?

And after the Judge sacrifices me, what will your fate be?”
