Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Chapter 255: Chapter 254: Family Decline, Li Li’s Ordeal



According to information obtained from Ouyang Linger: the Gate of Eternity appeared a hundred years ago, after Asura, also known as Zhang Yue, defeated the Level 9 Beast Tide.

As for the secrets within the Gate of Eternity, no one knows to this day.

Based on historical records: out of every ten people who enter the Gate of Eternity, only one manages to come out alive.

Moreover, there is something extremely bizarre about the Gate of Eternity: once someone who has entered reveals the secrets they uncovered inside to others, they will immediately die of heart failure.

Thus, over the past century, aside from those who have entered and survived, no one else knows the secrets of the Gate of Eternity.

Online records about the Gate of Eternity only have one piece of information: for every Gate of Eternity in different worlds, each professional only has one chance to enter it in their lifetime.

At this moment, Silent Plum cried as she said, "When Great-Grandma gave me the ring before she passed, she told me so many things about taking good care of myself, like she was leaving her last words. No matter how I tried to persuade her not to go, she wouldn't listen..."

It seems that Zhang Yue speculated: at first, Xuan Lan must have entered the Gate of Eternity in the 77th World and discovered something there.

But since the Gate of Eternity in the 77th World could only be entered once by Xuan Lan, she could not resist trying again and thus went to the 88th World to enter the Gate of Eternity there.

Furthermore, based on Silent Plum's account, before Xuan Lan entered the Gate of Eternity in the 88th World, she already knew that the probability of survival was slim.

'Why, then, did Xuan Lan, knowing she would likely die, resolutely enter the Gate of Eternity?'

In Zhang Yue's impression, Lei Zhenzi was hot-tempered, often resorting to hammers if things didn't go his way.[T/N: This Lei Zhenzhi must be Thunder God he mentioned in the last chapter]

But Xuan Lan was an extremely composed individual. She would never act impulsively in any matter unless it threatened Zhang Yue's or Lei Zhenzi's life.

Her purpose for entering the Gate of Eternity could never have been for personal gain.

The more Zhang Yue thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He had to find a way to uncover the secrets of the Gate of Eternity and determine the reason for Xuan Lan's death—or disappearance.

At this moment, Zhang Yue saw Silent Plum operating Feixin and transferring money to someone.

It was probably the person who had pursued her before and had his gifts converted into cash.

Silent Plum had said: if she had money, she would repay it with interest.

Zhang Yue asked, "By yourself?"

Silent Plum paused for a moment, then said somewhat despondently, "Ever since Great-Grandma passed, our family has fallen into decline."

So, it seems, when Xuan Lan was around, she must have had some power.

After all, a hundred years ago, someone who could stand on equal footing with Asura couldn't possibly be doing poorly today.

If Zhang Yue hadn't died, according to his plan, he would have established the [Temple of Asura] after defeating the Level 9 Beast Tide. By now, the Temple of Asura would undoubtedly be the number one guild in the Dragon Nation, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say, in the entire world.

Under Zhang Yue's questioning, he finally learned: a month after Xuan Lan entered the Gate of Eternity in the 88th World and disappeared, the family's power-holders—Silent Plum's uncles—abused their authority and seized control of the entire family.

At first, they treated Silent Plum relatively politely, fearing that one day Xuan Lan might return. If she found out they had mistreated her beloved great-granddaughter, Li Li (Silent Plum's real name), expelling them from the family would be the least of their worries.

After all, when Xuan Lan was alive, even top figures like Moon Mark and Ice Emperor had to show her respect.

These subordinates didn't dare disrespect Xuan Lan.

It wasn't until the past two years, with no news of Xuan Lan's return, that Li Li's uncles, Li Ming and Li Xinhui, began to act arrogantly, eventually driving Silent Plum's entire family out of the Li family.

"The excellent bloodline of Xuan Lan... your uncles didn't inherit a bit of it," Zhang Yue said.

Silent Plum didn't realize the intense killing intent in Zhang Yue's eyes as he said these words.

Looking at Silent Plum's desolate expression, Zhang Yue asked, "What world are your family's main forces currently exploring?"

Silent Plum hesitated, then asked, "What... are you planning to do?"

"Help you reclaim control of your family." Zhang Yue's eyes revealed his murderous resolve.

Xuan Lan was the eldest of Zhang Yue, Lei Zhenzi, and herself, being two years older than Zhang Yue.

Logically, Zhang Yue should call her "Elder Sister."

Indeed, a hundred years ago, Xuan Lan had taken care of Zhang Yue like an elder sister, and Zhang Yue had gotten used to calling her "Sister Xuan."

'And now, even Sister Xuan's beloved granddaughter, you dare to bully?'

Silent Plum was so startled that she quickly said to Zhang Yue, "I'm already very grateful that you found the ring Great-Grandma left me."

"But the Li family is powerful, and they're all high-level professionals around levels 200–300. You can't deal with them."

"My uncle Li Ming is ruthless; you mustn't provoke him!"

As she said this, Silent Plum's eyes revealed her deep concern for Zhang Yue.

For some reason, even though it was her first time meeting Zhang Yue, Silent Plum felt a strange sense of familiarity. From him, she could even feel a sense of reliance and safety that she'd only ever experienced with her Great-Grandma.

She didn't want Zhang Yue to be targeted by the Li family because of her.

But Zhang Yue just smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. Within three hours, I'll make your uncles kneel before you and apologize."

Silent Plum stared at Zhang Yue with her clear, beautiful eyes, completely stunned.

The presence of this man was so similar to her Great-Grandma.

Why was he helping her? How did he know so much about her Great-Grandma?

Could he be one of Great-Grandma's long-lost great-grandchildren...?

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue opened Feixin and sent a message to a friend: ["Old man, I need your help again."]

After closing Feixin, Zhang Yue said to Silent Plum, "Come, let's go level up."

Silent Plum followed Zhang Yue, completely bewildered.

In the world of Sky Castle, one of the missions was to collect energy crystals by killing parasites or parasitic beasts to upgrade orange wings.

Seeing countless energy crystals scattered at the foot of a volcano, Zhang Yue didn't want to waste them but was too lazy to spend time picking them up.

The Hell Skeleton King, who usually handled trash collection, had just perished in the beast tide.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue spent a million coins, hiring all nearby solo players to gather all the energy crystals for him within a minute.

For the first time, he enjoyed the perks of being rich.

Some of those solo players even seemed reluctant to stop.

"Big bro, call me anytime you need someone to pick up trash again. It's not about the money—I just love picking up trash since I was a kid."

"Young master, need someone to serve tea, massage your legs, or meet other... special needs? I'm open to fulfilling any requests!"

Even Silent Plum was stunned by Zhang Yue's extravagant spending.

She couldn't imagine who this man in front of her really was.

Zhang Yue led Silent Plum to an area with a dense concentration of Level 61 parasites.

To gather energy crystals for upgrading wings to sell for money, Silent Plum had spent an entire year in the Tenth World.

But even in that year, she never dared to farm monsters in such densely populated parasite zones.

Flying above, looking at the countless parasites on the ground, Silent Plum said nervously, "Maybe... we should pick another place..."

Nearby, some veteran Level 65 players farming parasites in teams sneered.

"Youngsters these days love showing off by taking girls around."

"They don't know their limits—a little beast tamer thinks he can carry a girl?"

Ignoring the onlookers, Zhang Yue glanced at Silent Plum and said, "No, this is fine."

As his voice fell—

ROAR!

A Twenty-Four Winged Extinction Black Dragon descended from the sky, spewing fiery dragon flames mixed with silvery-gray dragon breath toward the ground.

In an instant, dozens of parasites in the area were obliterated, leaving behind blue energy crystals scattered across the ground.
