Chapter 1652: Chapter 1102: The Era of Universal Class Change
"The young man who became a god last was definitely the child you rescued earlier; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let you go in the end," Cat Girl Luo Bei said loudly.
Then, she continued to speculate, "When he was a child, he could release plagues, and the villagers buried him because he infected the entire village."
Philippa gasped, "So, the subsequent disasters happened because you saved that child. If you hadn’t saved him, the plague wouldn’t have spread across nations, killing so many people."
Everyone involved in sorting out the plot was stunned.
It meant that what was thought to be a good deed had actually caused countless deaths.
Good intentions yielding bad results, oh how ironic fate can be!
Wu Heng listened to the two’s conversation and refocused on the chessboard.
The ’agreement’ he had with the chessboard was fulfilled.
Through the story, the chessboard provided information about the Plague God, and Wu Heng supplied it with a ghost to absorb.
Lilith, Viola, and the Wood Elf Sisters all simultaneously looked at Wu Heng, with inquiry in their eyes.
Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then gazed at the gradually fading spirit host and said, "I’m very satisfied with this narrative. Next time I’ll prepare more ’sincerity’, hoping to gain more plots about the Divine Spirits."
The spirit did not respond, gradually fading away in the air, and the light on the chessboard dimmed completely.
Then, Viola packed up the chessboard, the long table was taken away, and the maids served refreshments.
Wu Heng and the others sat in the living room, continuing to discuss this matter.
Lilith asked, "Do you think this plot is helpful to you?"
Wu Heng took a sip of tea and replied, "Helpful! If the in-game plot is real, it proves that ordinary people have the opportunity to become gods."
After a slight pause, he continued, "Didn’t you sense that the plague mentioned in the plot, sweeping across nations, is very similar to the current situation in my world?"
Especially the phrase ’corpses piled up like mountains, wails filling the fields’, it’s almost like a true depiction of this world.
Everyone’s eyes sharply focused.
Indeed, the Plague God’s ascension to divinity has quite a resemblance to Wu Heng’s current situation.
It’s just that the zombie virus wasn’t released by Wu Heng; he became the leader in humanity’s heart as a savior.
Wood Elf Silvien said, "Could it be that the story was compiled by that ghost according to this world?"
"It’s possible, but we can’t verify it!" Wu Heng said helplessly.
Although the authenticity of this information can’t be verified, there is indeed no better means to obtain intelligence about the Divine Spirits.
Lilith pondered for a moment, then said, "From the timeline in the story, the other party wasn’t much older when they became a god, still in their youth. After becoming a hero, they had fervent followers and thus stepped onto the Divine Rank... After the hero, it’s most likely the path to godhood."
"Yes! I think so too!" Wu Heng nodded.
The two calmly analyzed, while Viola and the Wood Elf Sisters listened with eyes flickering, as if they had glimpsed secrets that were once hard to reach.
It sounds like the next step is truly becoming a god.
"What are your plans next?" Lilith continued to ask.
Wu Heng frowned thoughtfully, then said, "The next step is to inquire with the chessboard on how to kill another divine spirit or how to enhance the combat capability of a divine spirit."
"Do you still have ghosts?" Lilith asked further.
"Not currently, but it shouldn’t be difficult to find some," Wu Heng continued sipping his tea, then said, "Do you think the spirit chessboard, by implying it absorbs ghosts, might have its own purposes?"
"It surely benefits him and it must be within the rules, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so eager to absorb ghosts," Lilith analyzed.
"Better not overfeed it; it might cause us trouble!" Philippa chimed in casually.
"Probably not! Enhancing a spirit isn’t something that happens with just one or two, and even if there’s some scheme, we are capable of handling it," Lilith said.
Wu Heng nodded, "Lilith makes sense."
They discussed for a while longer.
The women gathered again, softly talking about the plot that had just occurred.
...
Dusk was setting in, yet the living room remained bright.
Wu Heng sat alone on one side, contemplated for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Li Yahong’s number.
After a few rings, the call was answered, and a familiar voice came through, "Hello~? Missing me?"
There were faint clinks of cutlery and chewing noises; it seemed she was having lunch.
Judging by the time difference, it should be noon in Xinfu City now.
"Yes, yes." Wu Heng replied in a low voice.
"How are you missing me?" Li Yahong teased, as if he could see her raising an eyebrow and smiling.
Wu Heng gave a slight cough and nonchalantly glanced at the other people in the room, "There are people around, don’t tease."
Li Yahong immediately stopped teasing, her voice turning decisive, "What instructions does the Leader have?"
She evidently thought Wu Heng meant that ’there are people’ as other base personnel nearby.
Wu Heng did not explain further and directly asked, "Regarding the large increase in followers of the Spirit Awakening Sect that I mentioned last time, how has the discussion been going?"
Li Yahong’s tone became serious, "We discussed it; to quickly attract non-believers to firmly join, the most effective way is to offer tangible benefits."
After a brief pause, she continued, "Just distributing supplies can only bring about a superficial formality; more importantly, they must be convinced that joining the Church will lead to a better future."
