Chapter 958: Chapter 524 New Gods_2 Chapter 958: Chapter 524 New Gods_2 Watching from a distance, Wu Wei found that the gravitational tidal wave prophesied by Gong Gong was fast approaching.

According to the “Stellar Nebula” settings, the world is composed of multiple coordinate systems, of which the constant speed of light coordinate system is just one; many objects are situated in coordinates without this constraint.

The coordinate system where the gravitational tidal wave resides is one that disregards the light speed limit, allowing the tidal wave to exceed the speed of light after its outbreak and swiftly launch towards this location, dragging everything in its path into its range.

Before it arrives, there will be no signs, but Wu Wei had already burned his merits and obtained an exact time.

The countdown cast into the air, a multitude of gamers awaited the moment it ended. The Cultivator crewmembers were ready, prepared to embark on a journey to afar.

Under the anticipatory gazes of the players, an attack targeting Wu Wei began.

The office’s glass shattered, revealing Flying Swords gleaming with cold light in the room. The unknown assailant had not shown up, but his thirty-six Flying Swords came at Wu Wei, aiming directly at his vitals.

Within a mere instant, Wu Wei’s body was locked down; every vital point targeted. The next second was to be his end.

It was assumed Wu Wei was ready to resist, but to the assailant’s surprise, Wu Wei’s body was directly pulverized, leaving nothing behind.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the thirty-six Flying Swords turned direction, flying towards the Hakurei Silver Dream at the side. But as the swords began their twist, they were bound by an invisible force, as if trapped in a viscous swamp, unable to move.

The far-off Cultivator who controlled the Flying Swords watched this scene in bewildered shock, then noticed something off about the office’s atmosphere.

Wu Wei, who had been dead, was reshaped, but not from flesh and blood, but some kind of power or Law.

Although his stature was the same size, in the Cultivator’s Divine Sense, he had become a massive statue, looking emotionlessly at his distant self.

Realizing he had been locked on, the Cultivator immediately thought to flee, but tragically found that no matter how he tried to escape, he remained locked on.

Gazing at the colossal statue in his mind, he showed an uglier grimace than crying, “Have you deified?”

“Yes,” the statue calmly replied, “I’ve accumulated a lot of merits, and after making a wish, I received permission to deify upon being killed. But what’s accomplished is just a very ordinary God, and I still need to continue acquiring merits after that.”

“So, I’m also a part of your play?”

“You could say that,” Wu Wei quietly said. “Actually, I didn’t want to do this at first, but I had no other choice.”

“Why’s that?”

“… I can’t delay any longer, I have to get back to work. I’ve barely done anything this month, and I need to earn my keep, you know. These merits can’t be given to anyone else, so I might as well deify myself, then I can occasionally log on and lend everyone a hand.”

Pausing for a moment, Wu Wei continued, “But those guild leaders can forget it; they like to fight chaotically here, so let them stay, to fight to the death.”

Listening to Wu Wei’s arrangement, the nameless Cultivator sighed.

In “Stellar Nebula,” the Gods aren’t extremely powerful beings, and strong Cultivators from later stages can challenge some of them.

However, that’s during the later stages.

In the early stages, Wu Wei, who was deified through a ton of merits, stood as the T0 existence among players, and everyone could see his character. After deification, he could also help everyone continue exploring the game.

Acknowledging his irreversible situation, the nameless Cultivator lay on the ground, resignedly saying, “Alright, get it over with. What a pity, though, I wanted to see what the New World was like.”

“Yes, it’s truly a pity,” Wu Wei nodded, “After ascending to godhood, I could see many things, such as your innate talent. Among all the players, your cultivation talent is basically top-notch. It’s no wonder you have such great strength and were chosen to assassinate me. What a waste.”

The nameless Cultivator sighed helplessly.

He picked up an uncontaminated weed from the side and looked towards the distant launch center.

The first gravity tide had already arrived, tearing apart most of the sky. Celestial bodies were almost instantaneously ripped into a mass of fundamental particles and surged into the Origin Land.

Battleships at the launch center were dragged away almost in an instant. Players’ cheers rose and fell, and the consciousness to launch reached its peak at that moment, but the nameless Cultivator knew all of this had nothing to do with him anymore.

One must pay for their mistakes, and the consequence of rashly attacking Wu Wei was being trapped on this planet until he and the other guild leaders awaited the next gravity tide.

As he watched the battleships disappearing before his eyes, he contemplated the New World and couldn’t help saying, “What a pity.”

After dealing with all the guild leaders and leaving them stranded at this spaceport, Wu Wei went straight to a spaceship.

Here, the boss and others had already modified themselves into digital lifeforms, for they had devoted all their time to public affairs and had no time for cultivation. They could only participate in this form of action.

Inside the battleship, the Photon Starpeople’s technology was already in effect. They now existed as full-stellar images until they reached their next stop.

Seeing Wu Wei’s arrival, the boss immediately grabbed him excitedly and asked, “What does it feel like after becoming a god? Are there any new systems? Can you give players unlimited work?”

“No,” Wu Wei said regrettably, “Gods exist in a different coordinate system. This form indeed has many powerful abilities, but most of them require virtue to be realized. However, I can now accept your virtue and help you with things. Remember to call me if you need anything.”

“Don’t worry, for sure! But I still want to say, that lousy class you teach is no fun. Better to focus on playing games.”

“Is that even human talk? Alright, I need to rest and then go to work. Boss, I leave the rest up to you. But now that your financier is gone, won’t that be a bit difficult for you?”

“No big deal, I’ve been fed up with them for a long time. And since the final payment has arrived, whatever happens to them has nothing to do with me. But this game is indeed interesting, I’ll continue playing, don’t worry about it.”

“That’s good then. I’ll leave it to you and will come online from time to time. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Wu Wei went offline and then activated the sleep mode of the gaming pod.

After a month, he could finally rest without thinking about anything.

While Wu Wei was resting, Tian Xuan stared at the golden divine statue in the Heavenly Tao network, unsure how to handle it.

The golden divine statue was expressionless, as if it were dead, but at its chest, a massive amount of Law was converging, pulsating like a heart.

This was the divine statue of Wu Wei after his ascension to godhood, though he himself was still just a mortal.

This peculiar sight was something she had never seen before. However, the Great Heavenly Lord said there was no problem, that it could merge after Wu Wei’s natural death.

Until then, just leave it as it is.

And Wu Wei was completely unaware of what gift awaited him after his death.

For now, he was just a worker, peacefully sleeping, preparing to go to work in eight hours.
