Chapter 158: Aogude’s Plot!
When Master of the Mist used Soul Lock, Aogude suddenly smiled.
"So you couldn’t escape the true eyes of the Lord of Elements."
"Haha, I underestimated it, thinking I could deceive the Lord of Elements. Well, this time I lost."
With that, Aogude looked directly at Jiang Chen, "I didn’t expect you to walk out of the Hall of Echoes alive, that’s truly surprising."
"It must have been Malthus who intervened, that guy really isn’t afraid of embracing annihilation."
"Well, this time I’ll let you win."
"The preparations during this time have been enough. I’ve left a little gift in this body, I hope you like it, Jiang Chen."
"We will meet again."
After saying that, Aogude surprisingly cut off his own Soul Lock, breaking the link with this body!
Seeing this, Master of the Mist’s eyes flashed, and he appeared directly in front of Jiang Chen.
"Once."
After saying that, Master of the Mist’s body disappeared instantly.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but sigh as he realized he had oversimplified things.
Without Master of the Mist this time, they would definitely fail.
Because Aogude’s soul was not in this body at all, the enemy was using this body as a vessel, allowing almost undamaged pseudo Holy Domain Level attacks!
Otherwise, the Jiang Chen from the previous life would have died at his hands.
This is almost a battle that is certain to lose.
Even though Ye Qiu noticed something strange, but The Sealed Land had various tricks, and he could only recognize forty percent of them.
If not for seeing the Soul Lock, Ye Qiu would have forgotten that this thing existed in the game.
However, there is still one problem at hand.
Since Aogude is controlling this body using Soul Lock…
That means…
He still has other host bodies!
Moreover, one of the host bodies must be of the Holy Realm level, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to carry out pseudo Holy Domain Level attacks through bridging!
So, thinking deeper into it.
Since he already had a body at the Holy Domain Level, why did he still want to take over Jiang Chen’s mortal body?
If it’s about expanding his clone, wouldn’t it be better to wait until the player is stronger to do so?
Previously, Ye Qiu also heard from Jiang Chen that he encountered Aogude in the ice prison of the Water Divination School.
That body clearly isn’t Aogude’s body.
It seems like he stole it, instead of it being his original body.
If that body is also controlled by Soul Lock, then he should have the ability to completely break open the ice gate of the ice prison.
However, he did not leave the ice prison but kept waiting inside.
It’s like he’s waiting for someone inside the ice prison.
From the outcome, it seems like he was waiting for the player.
But even if he has the player’s body, what can he do?
Unless there’s something… that can only be done through the player’s body.
Like… entering reality?
No, that’s not quite right either.
Aogude couldn’t possibly know about the real world; he can only discover it after taking over a body.
So, this assumption is completely invalid.
So, what is Aogude really after?
He mentioned the preparation during this time, so it’s clear he had a plan long before.
And this plan can only be achieved through the player’s identity…
Well, there are only two possible answers now.
The first one is to escape the reset!
After the game arrives, everything inside the game will reset, going back to the very beginning when it arrives in reality!
But if Aogude can take over the player’s body, his memory and soul can avoid this reset!
This is not impossible!
Perhaps Aogude had known this day would come, so he had already started preparing in advance!
But there was one thing Ye Qiu couldn’t figure out.
If it’s just to avoid the reset, to keep the memories, then why not just go straight to the real world and wait until the game arrives?
Why did he come back?
Did he not know the real world at all, or had he not had the chance to log out of the game yet?
This doesn’t make much sense.
Unless…
"Is there something in the real world that brought him back, or simply stopped him?"
That’s a possibility.
But Ye Qiu leaned towards the second possibility.
Aogude, wants to become a god!
Reaching the Holy Domain level is almost like reaching the ceiling of all power systems!
If you want to go further, there is only one way!
That is becoming a god!
But the concept of becoming a god is very unclear, there’s hardly a clear path to follow!
Because of the Soul Lock in this world, it keeps a soul’s level locked below mythical level!
There are many ways to unlock this lock.
The simplest way is to directly inherit a god’s position!
That is to undergo a god’s trial, similar to Loki and the angel’s Trial of the God.
Ye Qiu only knows of one other way to unlock the Soul Lock!
That is to kill the Death God and directly take their divinity!
There are some other opportunities inside the tower that Ye Qiu has only heard about, it’s uncertain whether they will work.
For example, like the Well of Ascension, the Path to Immortality, and so on.
And these are mostly only for players to use!
If Aogude wants to become a god, then taking over Jiang Chen’s body would make sense.
But Ye Qiu is afraid that this guy’s intentions may not be limited to just that!
Aogude may be seeking something more!
What if he did become a god, then after the game resets, wouldn’t everything be lost?
But what if he could escape the reset?
Then he can not only retain his godhood but also keep all memories and even directly escape from the Tower of Seals!
This speculation is too dreadful!
Imagine this, The Sealed Land appears in reality, players haven’t even started climbing the tower yet, a god directly emerges!
The game ended abruptly!
In the previous life, Aogude probably wasn’t successful.
Because the game time was only five years, players’ progress hadn’t even reached the step of becoming a god!
But this time is different!
In this life, the time flow inside the game is ten times faster than in the past life!
If the game still arrives in five years, then inside the game it would be fifty years!
Fifty years of time…
Even if thousands of gods are born inside the game, Ye Qiu is not surprised!
"It seems like this time we have to pay attention to Aogude."
In his previous life, Ye Qiu had never seen Aogude.
He thought the other person was just a background character.
But now it seems…
Either the other person is at a higher level, or they have disguised themselves as an NPC, and they are not using their real name!
Ye Qiu can’t even be sure how many physical bodies he still has!
Under these circumstances, finding Aogude is like searching for a needle in a haystack, it’s impossible to start!
The only clue for now is the ice prison!
And just then, Jiang Chen suddenly walked up to his own body, and then transformed into a monster that ate his own body!
Ye Qiu, "…"
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Chen turned around and saw his skin instantly returning to human color, even his ID was back!
