Chapter 2603 - 1182: God’s Malice, The Last Supper!

Chapter 2603: Chapter 1182: God’s Malice, The Last Supper!

Lin Baici couldn’t see anything; there was endless darkness all around.

After falling into the lake, the bone-chilling cold overwhelmed all sensations, and Lin Baici felt like his entire body was frozen through.

Numbness, stiffness, it seemed as if he was turning into a corpse without any feeling.

But don’t panic. If he calms himself, Lin Baici can sense a hint of hunger.

It should be pointing in the direction of the God, but Lin Baici dared not move recklessly, as Xia Hongmian said there was only one chance.

[To the right!]

[The most succulent prey is there!]

Commented the Eater God.

Lin Baici didn’t move.

Where is the right side?

Lin Baici’s perception has decreased due to the cold, losing his sense of direction.

However, he wasn’t worried.

Divine Grace Activation, Nuwa Creation.

A clone appeared, discerning Lin Baici’s right hand in the darkness, like a guiding light showing him the way.

Lin Baici immediately burst forth with all his might, started swimming, not knowing how much time had passed, suddenly there was a splash.

Lin Baici broke through the water’s surface and emerged.

Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!

The cold air filled his mouth and lungs, bringing about an intense chilling sensation, but the suffocating feeling close to death disappeared.

It was quite comfortable!

There was still no light around!

But relying on the hunger radar, Lin Baici adjusted his direction and continued swimming forward.

About ten minutes later, Lin Baici bumped into the shore.

He immediately climbed up, then took out a Pine Wood Torch and struck it on the ground.

Whoosh! Crack!

The torch ignited.

The orange-red light spread out like a carpet.

Using the firelight, Lin Baici glanced around, seeing it was flat ground, and ahead was a tunnel leading underground, then he stopped looking and turned his head towards the lake surface.

Xia Hongmian hadn’t come out yet!

Otherwise, there should be light here.

Just as Lin Baici was thinking about whether he could give Xia Hongmian a hint to help her find the right direction, he suddenly heard a faint splash.

Lin Baici’s spirits immediately lifted.

Did Xia Hongmian swim up?

Lin Baici resisted the urge to shout because doing so might attract monsters, so he just vigorously waved the Pine Wood Torch.

Five minutes later, Xia Hongmian swam to the shore and teleported to the ground.

"You’re even better than I expected!"

Sopping wet, Xia Hongmian looked Lin Baici over, her eyes bright with admiration.

She hadn’t expected Lin Baici to find this place even before she did.

"Just lucky!"

Lin Baici modestly replied.

"To get here, luck alone isn’t enough. Individual ability, on-the-spot response, stress endurance, each one is incredibly important!"

Xia Hongmian was full of admiration for Lin Baici, raising her success rate prediction for this operation from 30% to 50%.

Even though it was only half, it was enough.

"Let’s go!"

Xia Hongmian held the Golden Torch and walked towards the tunnel.

Upon entering God’s ruins, humans would continuously be polluted. The more time spent, the weaker their combat power would become.

They needed to finish quickly.

There was no danger in the tunnel, and it wasn’t long; the two walked for about twenty minutes before seeing an exit.

Pale golden light shone in, somewhat glaring.

The two came out of the tunnel into a large grotto, roughly the size of a football field.

Seven tall metal doors stood in an arc at the center.

"Seven doors, only one leads to the God’s lair!"

Looking at these metal doors, Xia Hongmian recalled memories from seven years ago: "If you take the wrong one, you’re dead!"

"Moreover, these metal doors change constantly, meaning that the rightmost door might be correct this second, but in the next, it could be wrong!"

As Lin Baici listened to Xia Hongmian’s explanation, he carefully felt the changes in hunger.

"You wait here!"

Xia Hongmian instructed.

"I don’t go in?"

Lin Baici frowned.

"If I come out, it means I’ve defeated the First God. If I don’t, you try to escape!"

Xia Hongmian explained: "Of course, the most likely scenario is you won’t be able to escape!"

"Why can’t I go in with you?"

We’ve come this far, and I just wait?

"Baici, trust me!"

Xia Hongmian stopped explaining: "Everything is planned, just do as I say!"

"Don’t take matters into your own hands!"

"With the power of the First God, if we both go in, it will actually weaken our combat strength!"

Xia Hongmian looked at Lin Baici: "If you make it back alive, take care of Red Medicine for me!"

Lin Baici nodded.

Xia Hongmian was not a sentimental person; after heavily patting Lin Baici’s shoulder, she turned, observed the seven metal doors for about ten seconds, and finally chose the middle one.

As Xia Hongmian left with the Golden Torch, the light in the grotto dimmed slightly.

Lin Baici stood there, somewhat bewildered, the white breath from his mouth emphasizing the cold and loneliness.

After standing for over ten minutes, Lin Baici couldn’t take it anymore.

"Eater God, what should I do?"

Lin Baici asked, "Should I follow in?"

The Eater God didn’t respond.

"Should I consider you a friend or a foe?"

Lin Baici’s expression was grim; despite the Eater God’s numerous aids, what exactly was it? What was its purpose?

After all, however you looked at it, it was an entity with self-awareness; at the crucial moment, whose interests would it act for?

[You’re overthinking. I can’t leave you now!]

Perhaps that question about being a friend or foe moved the Eater God to speak and explain a bit.
