Chapter 1507
Chapter 1507 Temptation, Cheese, and Cage
[This is a trial that belongs exclusively to you]
[You must succeed]
[You are our last hope, only you can do it!]
Late at night.
Feng Feng woke up suddenly from a nightmare.
Countless unfamiliar voices kept appearing in her mind.
These voices were filled with anticipation for her.
The owners of the voices clearly looked extremely blurry, yet they gave her a suffocating sense of expectation.
She did not like this feeling.
A Train Captain needed rest, especially after experiencing one dangerous trial after another.
Even if the body could withstand fatigue, if Mental Power was insufficient, it would be difficult to use any strong abilities.
Sleeping was the simplest way to recover.
Feng Feng quietly walked out of the tent.
Looking at the warm campfire located in the center of the numerous tents, she felt much more at ease.
She walked past the bonfire, not far away.
Outside that RV, Ye Qiyan was playing games with the bunny-eared young lady beside him.
Zhao Lin, sitting across from him, was lying on the table, looking at her battle record on the computer screen with a miserable expression.
“Big Brother…”
Ye Qiyan was in no rush to respond to Feng Feng’s call, and only put down the controller after the other party walked a little closer.
“You’re here. Do you plan to tell me something?”
Zhao Lin glanced curiously, thought about it, stood up, yawned, and turned to walk into her own Train.
When bad luck arrived, she wouldn’t feel curious about anything.
Because once she felt curious, all sorts of things would always happen.
Hmm…
Actually, Ye Qiyan felt that it made no difference whether she was curious or not.
Feng Feng didn’t quite understand why Zhao Lin walked away. She certainly didn’t know what Zhao Lin’s Talent was, let alone those inexplicable things she and the others had encountered during the day.
They were actually influenced by Zhao Lin’s bad luck.
She sat there, falling into silence. The words she originally wanted to say were stuck in her mouth, unable to utter a single one.
Ye Qiyan was completely unhurried. He brought up the light screen, watching the three disappeared Train Captains dropping some kind of object everywhere.
After a long while…
“…Big Brother, I have a friend.”
“Do you think you can lie in front of me?”
Ye Qiyan waved the Bewitchment in his hand that he had taken out at some unknown time.
“Speak, what on earth is going on at this station? With just that level of trial during the day, why go to such great lengths to find Zhao Lin, and even choose to agree when you knew I would also come?”
Feng Feng opened her mouth and gave a bitter smile.
“As expected, I can’t hide it from you, Big Brother. You know my identity. Before I became a Platform Lord, I probably came from a world that had been subjected to The End.
That world, I think, is located in the wilderness.
Which is commonly known as the Wasteland Domain or the True God Domain.
Fenglidal is my true name as a [wind] with self-intelligence.
Originally, I didn’t have my past memories.
But as time went on, those memories all gradually returned to my mind.
Until later, I became a Train Captain in the true sense.
Those memories became even clearer.
Big Brother must still remember the [Wind] that you personally killed back in Solomon City, right?
Later on, I found out.
He…
…was my fellow clansman, and also once a true Apostle of the True God of Wind, who luckily obtained the authority of the [Wind]’s The End, becoming a…
controlled by The End… God.
And now.
I am also going to become a god.
Because in the upgrade options of the previous level, I have already obtained the conditions to become the Wind God.”
Feng Feng raised her hand.
In this windless world, following her movement, bursts of fierce wind whipped up in the air.
And an emerald-green orb of light was currently resting quietly in the palm of her hand.
[Wind of Transcendence]
[Category: Trial Item]
[Level: 13]
[Fragments left behind by the deceased [Wind], only those recognized by it can condense the key to the trial grounds left behind before its death and enter them.
When the trial ends,
you will become the [Wind] of the wilderness]
Ye Qiyan looked at the information brought to him by the appraisal, his fingers gently tapping on the desk.
“Continue. Showing me this thing, do you plan to do something?
Since it’s your own trial,
wouldn’t it be fine to just pass it? Do you feel unconfident in your heart?”
Feng Feng shook her head.
“No… I… I just…”
She bit her lip, seeming hesitant to speak.
“You just don’t want to pass this trial, yet you don’t want your guild companions named Libra to be disappointed in you. After all, they must have paid a considerable price for you.”
Seeing her hesitate, Ye Qiyan simply spoke out what she was thinking in her heart.
“Big Brother… Do you even have mind-reading?”
“Of course not. Zhao Lin might have that kind of magic-side ability.”
“Then how do you kn—”
“Guessed. You’re almost writing your thoughts on your face, plus that reluctant expression during the day. With a little thought, it shouldn’t be hard to guess.”
This was a lie.
In fact, Ye Qiyan had used Bewitchment during the day to get some information from the other two people in the Libra guild.
For example, their entire guild was looking forward to Feng Feng passing this trial platform.
Connecting these together and arriving at this conclusion was not difficult at all.
“So, you don’t want to become a god at all, right?”
“…Yeah, I’m a bit scared…”
Feng Feng completely opened up.
She felt that since Ye Qiyan had already seen through her heart, there was no need to hide things anymore.
“I’m afraid that once I become a god, I won’t be myself anymore. I like the name Feng Feng, but I don’t like [Wind]. Wind is not me, I am just Feng Feng.
Big Brother, do you ever have this feeling?
Facing power that does not belong to oneself… facing power that might lock down your future…
No matter how powerful that power is, and even if it can let me leap to the heavens in a single bound, yet…
I don’t want to become someone else…”
Bean-sized teardrops flowed from Feng Feng’s eyes.
Would Ye Qiyan understand?
Of course he understood, he even understood too much.
Whether it was the initial [Devil Card – Corruption]
or the later [Gate of Space], [Name of King of Cruelty Asmodeus]
or that ordinary [Demon King]…
Too many powers—as long as he chose to accept them, he could immediately become an existence that never lacked Mental Power and Stamina, and even possess his own The End, establishing a Wasteland Domain in the wilderness.
He could become a true god.
Just like Feng Feng right now.
And the choice he made was refusal.
Ye Qiyan raised the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers lightly.
“Forget it, considering those one thousand Train Coins~ I’ll show you a good thing.”
Behind him, a doorframe appeared here with a size of only over two meters.
“Do you know what this is?”
Feng Feng looked blankly at that door, and the behemoth inside the door that seemed to be sleeping.
“Th-This is?”
“This is a door to becoming a god. I haven’t torn it up, nor have I thrown it away. I am simply using it, and sooner or later, I will become its Dominator.”
His smile grew even brighter.
“Since there is a trial, then go and pass it. After passing it, whether you become a god or continue to be yourself, ask your heart.
Remember, power belongs to oneself, not something others can interfere with.”
This is the wilderness.
In the wilderness, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Becoming a true god is simply a piece of cheese placed in a cage with its temptation maxed out.
Some people will choose to reject the temptation and continue flying, while others will become birds trapped in a cage.
And Ye Qiyan’s choice is to take that cage along as a weapon, until one day, when he becomes stronger and tougher than the cage, that piece of cheese will ultimately fall into his mouth.
