Am I A God?

“He actually sacrificed himself?!” Arria was stunned. “Has this guy gone mad?”

He was dumbstruck as he stared at the spot where Zhao Yao had vanished. More black fog billowed out from the Door of Everlasting Life as Zhao Yao’s corpse crossed over. The thick black fog continued billowing, as if it was brought to life.

“This guy, just because he wanted to save his cat, he actually…” Arria shook his head. He was still stunned by what had just happened.

At that moment, his image of Zhao Yao had completely changed. What he first thought of as a completely evil, demonic person who bullied the kind and oppressed the weak was actually a genuine, sincere, devoted and humble person, a fool who would actually give up his own life to save a cat.

“What a fool, even if you sacrificed yourself, it would only be one life. What use would that be?”

Arria shook his head ruefully. However, he smiled when he saw that the Door of Everlasting Life had been built. “I’m free again… Now I need to think of a way to open the door and catch some men to work for me so that I can upgrade the Door of Everlasting Life…”

Just as Arria was imagining his great future, he suddenly saw a flash of a human shadow. Zhao Yao walked out of the Door of Everlasting Life in one piece, as if nothing ever happened to him.

Arria’s eyes almost popped out of his sockets as he gaped at Zhao Yao, who looked perfectly unharmed. Arria rubbed his face hard with his paws as he stared at Zhao Yao again. It dawned on him that Zhao Yao had really stepped out from the Door of Everlasting Life.

“What’s going on? Did the Door of Everlasting Life lose its powers?”

He sensed it again and realized that the Door of Everlasting Life had actually received a sacrificial intelligent life form. There was nothing wrong with the Door.

“What on earth is happening?”

For the whole of that night, he perched atop the Door of Everlasting Life as he watched Zhao Yao bring over the apostles he had held captive with him, Midnight, Lang Gou and gang, as well as Bai Quan and the rest.

Next, Zhao Yao decided to let Matcha lend his time freeze ability to these people. However, when he saw that Matcha’s loyalty was full at 100 points, he snatched over Matcha’s phone and deleted the runes that he had just gotten from topping up his game credits.

Amidst Matcha’s screams, his loyalty slipped by a few points.

Matcha’s Loyalty -1

Matcha’s Loyalty -1

Matcha’s Loyalty -1

…

Next, Zhao Yao let Matcha lend his ability to the apostles before he helped Matcha top up his game credits on Mobile Legends again.

After that, aside from Bai Quan who killed himself, all the other apostles were killed by Zhao Yao and thrown into the Door of Everlasting Life. Thereafter, they were able to revive and walk out using Time Distortion.

Although all the apostles had the power of Time Freeze, they were defenseless against Bai Quan and Zhao Yao, who were far more superior in physical strength. Hence, they had no choice but to be sacrificed.

In less than half an hour’s time, the sacrifice for the Door of Everlasting Life was completed. However, Zhao Yao did not stop at that. Instead, he spent the whole night killing and dumping bodies into the Door of Everlasting Life to make up for the number of human lives needed for the Door of Everlasting Life.

When the night had passed, Zhao Yao let Caesar erase some people’s memories so that they could forget the whole experience of borrowing Time Freeze and the revival process.

Arria was dumbstruck by the countless number of times whereby Zhao Yao and the others killed people to sacrifice them. He slowly began to understand the rationale behind this.

“This guy’s supercats also have the ability to regenerate and revive?”

When Arria realized that, his view of Zhao Yao changed yet again.

Revival is undeniably an immensely strong superpower. The stronger the user is, the greater the effects of the regeneration ability.

Now, Zhao Yao had a Level 10 Matcha. He had the ability of Time Distortion, which allowed him to revive once every three hours. His regeneration abilities could be said to be at the level of Bug.

When such an ability met that of the Door of Everlasting Life, it was a perfect match as it truly maximized the use of the Door of Everlasting Life. It would create an unprecedented synergy effect.

Just like that, he repeated the process of revival with the crowd every three hours and relied on this to fulfil the required sacrifices.

Zhao Yao stared at the cold, foreboding Door of Everlasting Life in satisfaction as it billowed thicker and thicker with black smoke. “This is as good as accumulating revivals using the Time Distortion ability.”

Zhao Yao smiled slightly when he turned and looked at Midnight and the other people who have lost their memories of the previous night.

However, to Midnight and the rest, his smile was creepily sinister and full of bad intentions.

In fact, this was true as Zhao Yao had considered letting these guys commit suicide every night to boost the Door of Everlasting Life.

Even if they could revive, the pain and the fear of death would linger forever. Comitting suicide everyday would definitely not be an enjoyable experience.

The only thing to be glad about was the fact that their memories of every night that was to come would be erased. At least they could still feel a sense of novelty in killing themselves every night.

Midnight stared at the black smoke billowing at the Door of Everlasting Life. Though he could no longer recall what the Door was for, he had this lingering sense of uneasiness about it. He could not help asking, “Boss, what is this thing?”

Zhao Yao smiled and said, “This thing is called The Midnight Paramount. There are hundreds of human pleasures beyond that Door. You guys can come here and play every day after midnight from now on. It’s a very fun place.”

Arria thought to himself at the side, “More like hundreds of ways to commit suicide…”

Zhao Yao’s attitude now was unbelievably nice, which made Midnight and the rest feel overwhelmed by his sudden kindness.

However, this was because of the new function Midnight and the rest served for Zhao Yao. In Zhao Yao’s eyes, their utility had surpassed the average man, to the point where they had become human poppies. Keeping them by his side was a much needed boost for him.

Midnight thought, “What is this Zhao Yao up to? Why is he looking at me with such lecherous eyes. Is he…”

Lang Gou glanced at his pants and touched it before he put his hand to his nose to smell. “Why did I wet my pants? How come I don’t remember wetting my pants?”

After pacifying and sending Midnight, Lang Gou and the rest home, Zhao Yao turned to Arria and said, “The price of revival should be enough right? Can I revive Sphynx cat now?”

“It’s not enough,” Arria said, “The Door of Everlasting Life contains 32 lives now. If you let him become my horseman, every life in the Door now can revive him once. However, the cat that you want to revive was not my horseman while he was alive. Also, he had been dead for so long. He is an immensely strong cat as well, so you would need to accumulate at least 100 lives to be enough to revive him.”

The revival ability of the Door of Everlasting Life was interlinked with the deceased’s strength, time of death and the condition of his corpse. The stronger the deceased, the longer his death had been and the poorer the condition of the corpse, the greater the price of revival.

Zhao Yao nodded. The Door of Everlasting Life was actually very similar to his Book in some aspects. There were some rules to be adhered to before one could stand to gain, and there were various transactions involved as well.

However, Book’s function was for completing missions and leveling up supercats, while the Door of Everlasting Life’s function involved the process of sacrificing lives, revival and leveling up, on top of strengthening Arria’s horsemen.

This was also the first time Zhao Yao came across a superpower that worked in a similar way as the Book.

Hence, Zhao Yao spent the next two days bringing apostles to The Midnight Paramount to ‘play’. Once he accumulated a 100 lives, he was finally able to hit the target required to revive Sphynx cat.

Zhao Yao pushed the freezer containing Sphynx cat into the pitch black abyss of the Door of Everlasting Life. Beside him, Arria’s eyes turned bright blue.

The black smoke in the Door of Everlasting Life began billowing rapidly and tumultuous, as if an invisible beast was roaring and charging around within it.

The next moment, a strong cat paw slashed through the black smoke and emerged from the Door of Everlasting Life.

…

At the same time, in the capital city in the North.

A huge group of leaders were gathered together in a conference room. Amidst their confused stares, an elder with a cat in his arms stepped forward.

Starting from the United States, Giggle, who had secretly gained control of numerous political elites in big countries, raised his head. As he stared at the leaders before him, his power of Awareness flowed out instantly, controlling all the political leaders, security and apostles at the scene in a flash…

“From today onwards, your countries all belong to me,” Giggle slowly said, “Just like most other countries on this planet, the only reason for your existence is to ensure that I can lead a happier life.”

“Next, I will be giving you guys two missions.”

“The first mission is to promote Closers World on all fronts. I want every cat and human in your country to play this game.”

“The second mission. Help me find an apostle…”
