Chapter 32: The Secrets of Miracle World
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Miracle, if there were no other special methods used, there was only one outcome after death...
Respawning.
It was just like death in reality, but slightly better because you can’t respawn in reality.
The efforts of those few hundred people that were put into each of the accounts after working so hard to Level up over such a long time, were all gone in an instant.
“There’s no other way to revive!”
“Respawning would mean we have to restart.”
“It’s too difficult!”
“We shouldn’t have ambushed him.”
“Who knew that guy would be so powerful! He’s a monster!”
“Who was he?”
“Who knows.”
Mike had cleared the dungeon. After finishing off those people, all their equipment, tools, materials, and everything else dropped.
“There’s nothing good.” Mike shook his head in disappointment.
That’s right. If they had good stuff, they wouldn’t have been killed by Mike so easily.
Mike put the Thunder Core into his backpack that he shared with his doppelganger, and his doppelganger took the Thunder Core to look for the Dark Walker at once.
He arrived beside the Dark Walker. The old man was as still as a piece of wood.
Before Mike could speak, he suddenly opened his eyes.
“The Thunder Core?”
The old man was the first to sense it.
Mike checked the hidden information. The old man had no malicious intent, that was good.
Otherwise, he would have just given the Thunder Core to his original body and it wouldn’t matter if his doppelganger lived or died.
“Here.”
Mike took out the Thunder Core from his backpack.
“It really is the Thunder Core...” He stood up and took the Thunder Core and examined it with a serious look on his face. “After so many years, I’ve finally found the Thunder Core again! My sleeping mind can finally be awakened.”
The old man’s aura was changing.
He was no longer old. He actually slowly turned into a middle-aged man.
“The aged look is just a disguise, this is my true appearance.”
The middle-aged man stretched his hand out toward Mike.
“My name is Kyle. Perhaps you’ve heard of me.”
‘Kyle? Never heard of him.’
Mike shook his head.
“Then you must be familiar with my previous identity.” Kyle smiled slightly. “I was the sixth master of the Palace of the Heavenly King.”
What the hell? Mike was shocked, what did he mean?
The master of the Palace of the Heavenly King?
The former Supreme Leader of the Palace of the Heavenly King?
Then, why had he betrayed the Palace of the Heavenly King?
If he wasn’t able to see the hidden information, Mike would have thought that he was here to fish for traitors.
“Then, you...” Mike began to care about the reason.
A former Supreme Leader of the Palace of Heavenly King had betrayed the Palace of Heavenly King. The reason behind this was too important.
“Follow me, and you will naturally understand.”
Kyle waved his hand, and a?teleportation portal appeared in front of him.
It was very advanced, and a handy thing to have.
After passing through the portal, they arrived at an empty grassland. Not far away, there was a formation made from huge stones.
Kyle approached the stone formation and silently chanted some type of spell.
The stone formation began to shake, and light surged onto the stone formation.
At last, a huge head appeared.
Although this head did not have a body, it still seemed alive and lifelike.
“Take a few steps back,” Kyle warned.
After Mike retreated and maintained his distance, Kyle placed the Thunder Core onto the huge head.
The eyes of the head that were tightly shut jolted open. There were flashes of lightning within, and the entire head seemed to come alive in an instant.
An invisible pressure leaked out.
It was just a head and it was already so strong. It was hard to imagine how strong he would be if he was alive.
“These are the rewards you can obtain.”
Kyle waved his hand and a bunch of contents appeared in front of him.
An array of skills, talents, recipes, everything. Nothing was excluded.
“Many of the contents were also hard for me to understand. But I have already understood quite a bit.” Kyle introduced.
“What are these? And what is this head?” Mike asked.
Kyle knew that Mike would ask, so he had already prepared an answer.
“Who exactly is it? That, I don’t know. I only know that it is one of the most primitive life forms in Miracle.” Kyle explained. “You can call him a god. In fact, I took the liberty to think that because no one said anything about Miracle’s earliest life forms, he must be a god.”
“Primitive life forms? A god?”
Mike was surprised. “Then, why did he die?”
“That’s a good question.” Kyle seemed to be waiting for this question.
“This involves why, I, as the Master of the Palace of the Heavenly King, withdrew from the Palace of the Heavenly King and became their enemy... That was because I discovered that behind the Palace of the Heavenly King and the other temples, there is a primitive life form, which is a god. A god of Heavenly Kings, a god of Sea Kings...”
“There is one for every palace?” Mike’s worldview was expanded.
“Yes.” Kyle nodded.
“Although these gods are origins of all lifeforms, they are also divided into three, six, and nine levels of authority. And this head in front of you is the strongest original life form! Its strength is far above the gods behind the various palaces.”
“It was the strongest, but it died?”
“That was because his philosophy was different from the other gods.” Kyle was knowledgeable. “Gods ignore everything, including you and me. Whether it was the Earthlings, the lifeforms of Miracle, the people of the Heavenly King’s Palace, or even the Master of the Heavenly King’s Palace, they are all just slaves of the gods. Sooner or later, the gods will devour all life to strengthen themselves.”
Hearing this, Mike was a little scared.
Everyone was basically food for gods...
“You quit because you discovered this?” Mike asked.
“How is that possible?” But Kyle shook his head. “You have no idea how fanatical a fanatic can be. I’m willing to give my life to God. That’s why I’m the master of the Heavenly King’s Palace.”
So, it was not because he discovered the gods’ viciousness and betrayed them...
Mike looked at the head.
It must be because of him, then.
“Looks like you’ve noticed him.” Kyle nodded. “During an exploration, I discovered this head. I used the Thunder Core to awaken its memories and learned many secrets from it.”
“Not every god uses humans as their food for growth.”
“In the early days, the gods were divided into two factions. One faction cherished life and cared about humans, while the other faction was very vicious and never cared about human lives.”
“In the beginning, the gods of the kind faction had the upper hand.”
“As for the vicious faction, they developed in secret.”
“Because they discovered that devouring humans made them grow very quickly, many of the gods had selfish thoughts, which caused the scale of the vicious faction to expand rapidly.”
“When face to face with power, even gods couldn’t resist the temptation.”
“In the end, those sinister deeds were discovered, and war broke out between the gods of the two factions.”
“The vicious faction devoured countless humans so their strength grew very quickly. In addition, they had an advantage in numbers, so they quickly gained the upper hand.”
“In the end, the strongest god that is now in front of us was killed by their combined forces.”
“The vicious gods then began to rule the Miracle world, and the various palaces were born.”
“Gradually, it evolved until now... Very few people know about the existence of gods.”
“The Dark Walkers are generally a group of people who have discovered the gods. They know about their thoughts and deeds and opposed the gods.” Kyle finished explaining.
Mike needed some time to digest as he had absorbed too much information.
“Why didn’t the gods personally come down and clean up the Dark Walkers?” Mike asked.
“They didn’t dare.” Kyle sneered. “Miracle wasn’t controlled by those gods alone. The last time the war of gods broke out, Miracle punished them. In this world, there was a Supreme God who controlled everything. The Supreme God didn’t care about people or gods. He killed them as he pleased. And if a god acted on its own, it might attract the Supreme God’s attention.”
