Chapter 1169 - All the Celestials Must Die (1/2)

“Why’d you ask?” Miluya cocked her head again innocently with a puzzled face.

“I’m just curious. Can you tell me? Please?” Jiang Fei pleaded. It could not get any more obvious that Miluya was no longer the same little girl as before. If she decided that Jiang Fei was a target, there was nothing Jiang Fei could do but to accept his death.

“I’m Miluya! Mi-Lu-Ya!” said the girl, exclaiming each syllable clearly. It was a far cry from when she was killing the Primordials mercilessly.

“I see,” Jiang Fei accepted her answer with a simple reply. It could be for two reasons, either she did not know who she was herself, or she did and decided firmly that it should be a secret. It did not matter then. Miluya answer had cemented Jiang Fei’s decision to not pry further about it.

Back at the safe zone, where players gathered, Jiang Fei noticed that Miluya, who once did not want to enter the barrier, had followed him in.

“Miluya…” said Jiang Fei but stopped. He wanted to say: Aren’t you afraid of being synced down to the player’s level?

He stopped abruptly when he noticed Miluya had actually entered the safe zone. Her status was not synced as she remained at the High Celestial tier status.

“How is that possible?!” Jiang Fei thought. The barrier was made by none other than Ou Yezi and he explained clearly that all NPCs, be it the Elemental Lords or even Jiang Fei himself, would be downgraded to only Overlord tier.

The barrier was a place where players could form a fort to attack. Without the barrier, bring one of the Elemental Lords and everyone would be killed.

Yet somehow… the barrier was not working! Miluya still maintained her status as a High Celestial when she stepped into the barrier!

“Did the barrier failed? No! It did not!”

Jiang Fei checked his own attribute and saw it clearly. He was now only an Overlord and all of the skills and effects coming from Celestial tier were greyed out.

“Just who is this girl?!” Jiang Fei asked himself again. Even if he was dying to know, he had already accepted the fact that it would be impossible to force Miluya to reveal her true identity. If he tried, he might actually anger her and no one in the entire game could stop her.

Back in the safe zone, Jiang Fei stopped to think. He had eliminated almost half of the fighting force of the Primordials, even though it was mostly achieved by Miluya, reducing their overall combat force. Even though the Primordials were likely to be hiding in the Throne of Gods, Jiang Fei still had much to do.

A while back, Jiang Fei came up with a method to complete his task. The first was to bait all the Primordials into the main world and have the final war there. The other method was to reduce their overall numbers and persuade the human NPCs to bring the war to the Primordials instead.

After the “war” in Winter Islands, Jiang Fei learn the hard truth that his family will never be truly safe. It gave Jiang Fei a sense of urgency. Even though many human NPCs were in good terms with Jiang Fei, he could not guarantee that all of them would remain friendly with him once they were taken out of the game.

Hence, to prevent the increasing threat of the Unknowns, Jiang Fei would have to make the human NPCs to go to war. It was all accordance to 0541’s message — All Celestial tier NPCs and higher must die!

“How am I going back?” Jiang Fei asked himself. The teleportation circle was a one-way means of travel. Coming into the Primordial Realm was easy but going back was hard.

Jiang Fei had unknowingly uttered his thoughts out loud. Miluya, who was standing next to him heard it and asked, “big brother, where do you want to go?”

“I’m supposed to go back to the main world but this teleportation circle doesn’t work that way,” said Jiang Fei on a spur.

“Oh? This is an easy job for me!” cried Miluya. She waved her hands and after a hallowed mist formed, a teleportation portal appeared right in front of Jiang Fei.
