"Do you know how i can kill an Elder God, Mo Yang?" Clark asked after a time. Although this sounded very desperate of him but he could not care at all in front of his undead servant.
"I'm sorry, master. But from time immemorial, The Three Divines has existed already. To kill one of them would be..."
Mo Yang did not have to continue because our bored gamer has fully expected such an outcome also.
"SIGH!" Clark took a deep breath and lapsed once more into further contemplation.
"What about you, Nancy? Care to tell me any weaknesses of an Elder God?" Our protagonist was grasping at straws and he knew it all the same.
Alas, he just won't give up that easily to find anything he could use against someone who could squash him like an ant at any time and at any given place.
"Negative, host. The system is not equipped with the information that you want. But it has deduced with 99.99% certainty that an Elder God is absolutely invincible in this realm."
Nancy replied in a troubled voice.
Even if she was programmed to assist the wiles of our good gamer but that also did not mean that she has already forgotten who created her in the first place.
Her allegiance has always belonged to her master who was one of the Three Elder Gods in existence.
"...invincible in this realm..." Clark murmured and realized the implications behind these words.
He was like a man who was already drowning in a whirlpool of despair and had finally broken through the waters once more to take in the life saving air into his lungs.
Our bored gamer was absolutely ecstatic to say the least!
"Can you tell me of any Forbidden Zones in this world, Mo Yang?" Clark asked the silent undead slave before him.
Although he could have asked this question to his system but it was better to get any information he could have with Mo Yang first because he could always verify it with Nancy later on.
"There are many such places in this Mortal Realm, master. But I highly doubt that you would get anything from those trash pits." Mo Yang answered.
"Explain." Clark said and a frown was plain and clear in his voice alone.
It was just sad to see that he was using a Skeleton King Avatar and this husk of bones could not properly deliver any facial expressions he may have at the moment.
"As you wish, master." Mo Yang kowtowed in place before he continued with what he had to say.
"It's like this, master. Those Forbidden Zones are usually leftover inheritance from experts in this world.
They could also be forsaken secret realms that have an innate barrier to expel all other intruders on its domains.
But with how weak the cultivators in this world is, all you would get is trash and nothing more, master."
Mo Yang explained in length and his bias towards the lowly ants of this Mortal Realm while he was still alive lived on even after the time of his death.
"I see now. Then what about in the Divine Realm?" Clark continued on his line of questioning.
"Of course, master. Forbidden Zones can be found in all directions of the Divine Realm but amongst all of those, there are really only five places that could be considered the most fatal of all adventures.
No one who entered in them has lived to tell the tale about it." Mo Yang replied.
"Five Forbidden Zones, huh? Hmmm... Then that's where I'll go someday." These were the last words of Clark before his divine sense left this place in full.
Silence ensued for a couple of breaths before the war drums rang once more to call the horde of undead to yet another feast of blood in the making.
* * *
Demonic Sword Sect, back in our bored gamer's chambers, a restless young man laid awake.
'Should i find ways to go into the Divine Realm prematurely or should i just spend a hundred trillion years in this Mortal Realm?' Clark mused in silence.
He gazed at the woman who was ever immovable near his bedside and he could not help but shy away from Lin Che.
It would have been good if he could overpower the Primal Warden but such wishes were never practical to begin with.
As of right now, all Clark could was bide his time and outmaneuver whatever Lin Che planning up ahead.
Before long, our bored gamer continued once more to think about the choices that were laid before him.
'The first path can lead only to death and perhaps freedom whereas the second path would have only me living in boredom towards the end. Such an easy pick! Hehehe.
Who wants to live forever? A brave man once said. To that, i can only speak for myself and say that i would want to live rather than experience the alternative.
Thank you very much!' Clark smiled after he gathered his thoughts to a brief course of action up ahead.
There would have been no doubt that from this point onward, he would have lived as a carefree young master in this Mortal Realm.
Alas, some expectations were rather brittle when sudden changes would occur at the most unexpected of times.
And it was exactly at this point where our bored gamer first met with a kindred soul in this world.
"You seem lost, Clark Colter. Do you want me to show you the way back home?" a voice echoed in the dark.
"What?!" Our good gamer exclaimed. The voice was not very familiar in the least and so Clark expanded his divine sense to all directions.
He did not find anything unusual but only the beautiful woman nearby.
"What's the matter, Foul Creature? Did your sins give you some nightmares right now?" Lin Che queried and same as our bored gamer, she was also not negligent at all.
Her senses were alive as she tried to fathom what had happened even with how greatly limited her perception was at the moment.
It was a given that Primal Wardens were very much sensitive to the foul stench of evil. This was the reason why she was able to pinpoint the location of our good gamer in the first place.
But other than that, Lin Che was truly still at the 1st Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.
"Nothing, Lin Che. I just thought that I heard you call me in the sweetest endearments possible just a few breaths earlier."
Clark threw some misdirection around and even sported his signature teasing smile towards the unrelenting Primal Warden.
"You should not use that sweet tongue on me, Foul Creature.
Although you can bully and seduce these poor mortals but try that on me once more and I shall have you walking without that sinful part of you."
Lin Che threatened as she pointed a finger towards that particular thing between our bored gamer's legs.
"You should know that i'm just joking, Lin Che. How could I ever have any bad designs towards you?" Clark responded innocently.
'You're even a million times older than my grandmother!'
Our bored gamer added in his thoughts and he had to smile wider because this has made him remember all the great times that he had with his grandma.
But still, this brief joy was definitely not enough to let him forget what had happened earlier. Clark rolled on the bed once more and forced himself to close his eyes.
There was only silence and the steady breathing of two souls inside the chambers for some time.
It took a full minute to exact before our curious protagonist reached out to nothing and no one in particular.
'Who are you?' Clark asked.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three.
.
..
...
Almost 30 breaths had passed and still there was no reply to his call.
'Must have been my imagination?' Our bored gamer queried at himself. He realized that this notion was almost an absurd thing to happen to someone like him.
Who was Clark at the moment? He was already a True Immortal in flesh and blood.
Uninvited imaginations such as the one he had experienced earlier was definitely impossible for him right now.
It would have been the norm when he was still an untrained mortal but as he was today, there were only little fickle things in this world that worried him.
Women were one but alien voices speaking to him out of the blue was certainly unheard of.
'And i could not even pinpoint where that female voice originated from!' Clark had this last observation in mind.
He waited and waited until a few hours had easily passed unhindered on the long hands of time. And when he was finally about to give up, she came once more unbidden in his ears.
'You answered my question with another question. The people in this reality are truly strange.' A female voice mocked.
Clark could have easily replied at this time but he chose to play safe in the end. After all, it was better to play with an enemy he knew rather than someone who barely had any idea about.
'Did you hear that, Nancy? Is anyone else in the room with us?' Clark used his thoughts to communicate with his handy system.
"Negative, host. There's no one here but you and Primal Warden Lin Che."
Nancy answered aptly. Instead of getting bothered by this reply, our bored gamer could feel his heart throb in excitement.
'For someone like Nancy to remain unaware of this unknown woman, there is a high chance that she is at the same realm at that fucking E...'
Clark halted his thoughts right here because he could not anymore wait to hear what this female visitor had to say.
'What do you want in return?' Our bored gamer asked directly. Plain and simple.
'Everything.' And the mysterious woman also did the same.
