Using the Li Fire Essence will immediately attract the attention of three terrifying Demon Kings.
Faced with this situation, Su Nan repeatedly used his foreknowledge to try and find a way to hunt a Paper Puppet Demon while avoiding the three King-level Great Demons.
In a blink of an eye, he had used his foreknowledge four or five times.
He had tried various methods during this time, but all ended in failure.
Not until he saw the content of the sixth prediction did he finally understand where the problem lied.
[You don’t understand that the City God Temple at night and during the day may appear the same, but they are completely different. What you see isn’t the real City God Temple, but a product formed by the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact.] [Paper Puppet Demons, being subsidiary entities here, cannot leave the City God Temple.]
“It’s not the real City God Temple? A product constructed by the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact?”
Su Nan was surprised. This was the first time he had encountered something like this, and his heart sank.
If the Paper Puppet Demons can’t leave the City God Temple, that means he has to hunt them inside the temple.
Yet, once he enters the temple, he’s bound to face three terrifying King-level Great Demons and his fate will undoubtedly be to be devoured!
!!..
“Today’s Across the Heavens Shift count has been used up. If not, I might be able to try to use Li Fire Essence to hunt the Paper Puppet Demons, then shift into the temple at an instant to retrieve the Li Fire Essence and quit the game.” The challenge is not the hunting of the Paper Puppet Demons, but how to retrieve the Li Fire Essence after the hunt.
The time required to retrieve Li Fire Essence is very short, but however short this time is, it’s still not as quick as the reaction speed of the three Demon Kings.
“The power of the Fire is still a bit weaker. If it could be a little stronger, its power alone could turn the Paper Puppet Demon to ashes.”
In his previous forecast, he tried using the Berserk Netherworld Body to enhance the Fire Power with all Primordial Qi and Essence Power. The effect was significant and it could ignite the Paper Puppet Demon.
However, compared to the Li Fire Essence, the raw Fire Power couldn’t instantly turn the Paper Puppet Demon into ashes.
The result was, he died and the fire on the Paper Puppet Demon extinguished as well.
“It seems that I won’t be able to complete the task of hunting the Paper Puppet Demon today.”
“I’ll have to wait till daytime and try to figure something out by removing the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact.”
Su Nan was unwilling, yet helpless.
Checking the time, he quit the game
Two hours later.
Night had already fallen in reality as he logged in to the game again.
In the game, the sun was shining brightly.
Appearing hundreds of meters away from the City God Temple, from far away he could see many incense guests entering the Temple one after another.
It seemed that due to the recent increased frequency of demon appearances, these ordinary people sensed changes coming and many of them came to the City God Temple to pray for safety.
Su Nan disguised himself as an ordinary player and started to use his foreknowledge again.
This time, he attempted to move the incense burner!
[There is an object related to the Divine Way hidden in the City God Temple of Tianyun City, and you plan to take it for research.]
[The City God Temple during the day is very safe and the flow of incense guests is continuous. You pretend to be an ordinary guest and enter the City God Temple with the other guests.]
[You arrive in front of the incense burner placed in the Temple courtyard. At this time, there is a guest inserting incense into the burner.]
[You don’t act rashly and observe for a moment. After ensuring that there is no danger, you attempt to move the incense burner.]
[The Incense burner is heavy, but it’s not a problem for you. You easily pick up the incense burner.]
[Your actions immediately attract the attention of other guests. Many of them are angry at your behavior, accusing you of disrespecting the City God, and even berate you loudly.]
[You ignore them and directly put the incense burner into the Cosmic ring.] [Contrary to your expectations, the incense burner is smoothly placed in the Cosmic ring without any accident. You quickly leave the City God Temple with the incense burner.]
[Two minutes later, you have left the City God Temple far behind and nothing unusual has happened. You take out the incense burner to study it carefully.] [Three minutes later, looking at the shattered incense burner, you are positive that the incense burner you’ve gotten was just ordinary, without any peculiar power.]
[End of the first prediction, do you wish to continue?]
just an ordinary incense burner?”
Su Nan’s brows furrowed, his joy at successfully retrieving the incense burner disappeared instantly.
He previously saw the Paper Puppet Demon worshiping the incense burner, making him think that it might be the Divine Dao Ritual Artifact he was looking for. Now it seems that he had overthought.
What the Paper Puppet Demon was probably worshipping was not the incense burner, but something offered opposite to it.
“If it’s not the incense burner, what could it be?”
Ritual Artifact, by literal understanding, is a tool for worship.
In the City God Temple, it seems like the only thing that could be called a
Ritual Artifact is the incense burner.
If it’s not the incense burner, then what could it be?
Su Nan pondered in his thoughts.
Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes lit up.
No, there are more than one incense burners in the City God Temple. Apart from the large one placed in the middle of the courtyard, there are three smaller ones in front of the statues. Maybe that could be it.”
He hadn’t physically entered the City God Temple, but the previous foreknowledge had mentioned that there was a small incense burner in front of each statue, used for offering incense to the three statues specifically.
“Not sure if it’s right, but another prediction will tell.”
[The City God Temple during the day is very safe, and the flow of incense guests is continuous. You pretend to be an ordinary guest and enter the City God Temple with other guests.]
[You head straight for the main hall. Enshrined here is a deity with white hair and youthful looks, smiling kindly. There are currently two guests worshiping there..]
