Chapter 45: Cannon Fodder.
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
Although the Douluo Continent was shielded by the System, its connection with the God Realm remained. For this reason, after deciding to send a few Cannon Fodder to scout the Douluo Continent, the Five God Kings didn't hesitate. They directly chose several God Officials without backing to serve as scouts.
In the God Realm, above God Officials are Third Rank Gods, Second Rank Gods, First Rank Gods, and the Supreme God King. Thus, God Officials are the lowest-tier gods, numbering in the tens of thousands. They are essentially brought up from the Lower Realm by gods of God Official rank and above during their ascension. Their achievements in life are generally limited.
As for those Deities who Ascended through their own Cultivation, or inherited a God Position, they are at the very least Third Rank Gods. And if they diligently Cultivate, there's always a possibility of further advancement. They are considered the backbone of the God Realm.
The Five God Kings unleashed their Divine Power, opening a Space Passageway and sending the chosen God Officials to the Douluo Continent.
At the same time, on the Douluo Continent, Ye Cheng also received a prompt from the System.
[Ding! Five outsiders detected…]
[Scan complete, no threat detected.]
[Brought under control, no elimination.]
Listening to the System's prompt, Ye Cheng quickly opened the System interface and, after a series of operations, the information on the five outsiders was all displayed before him.
He was surprised to find that these five individuals were actually God Officials who had secretly descended from the God Realm, but because they were too weak, the System deemed them no threat. Therefore, after being brought under supervision, they were ignored.
As early as six years ago, after the System descended, locked onto this world, and initiated Q&A with this world as its base, the entire Douluo Continent had basically been shaped by the Q&A System.
All tangible and intangible changes could not escape the monitoring of the Q&A System. Therefore, any outsiders who arrived from other worlds, once they descended, simply could not hide from the System. A single scan was enough to clearly know all their details.
"The God Officials were too weak, so the defense mechanism didn't activate."
"Looking at it this way, could the powerful force that previously triggered the System's self-defense counterattack have been a God King from the God Realm making a move?" Ye Cheng looked at the System's information, silently speculating.
"It's a pity only a few God Officials came. Otherwise, if those God Kings dared to descend... Heh heh, I could let them experience the terror of the Q&A Space!" Ye Cheng felt a bit regretful. Those God Kings were too cautious. They only dared to send a few God Officials as Cannon Fodder.
If only they were a bit more reckless, a bit bolder.
If the five God Kings from the God Realm dared to descend, once they arrived on the Douluo Continent, they would instantly be locked by the Q&A System. At that point, he could mold them as he pleased.
The simplest method would be to fabricate an unanswerable question, then designate the five God Kings to answer it. After they answered incorrectly, he would set the punishment to stripping them of all their cultivation... Using the System's mechanism to effortlessly eliminate his opponents. That would be absolutely thrilling!
Unfortunately, those God Kings were too cautious and simply didn't dare to descend here in their true form. That allowed them to escape this tribulation.
"Should I initiate a Q&A session right now and directly deal with these five God Officials?" Ye Cheng pondered, looking at the information on the five God Officials.
"No, that would feel too targeted."
"Moreover, this would undoubtedly let the God Realm know that there's an actual controller behind the 'Q&A.' At that point, my risk of exposure would greatly increase!"
"It would be better to pretend I didn't see them and keep these five guys here. Then, I'll only show them what I want them to know, allowing them to transmit incorrect information to the God Realm… Making the God Realm believe that this Q&A is merely an unowned treasure that drifted here, with no actual controller."
"This will make the God Realm lower their guard against this place, and even develop a greedy desire to claim the Q&A for themselves!"
"…If I can lure those five God Kings down to the Douluo Continent, then the outcome will be set."
The more Ye Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that keeping these five individuals alive held greater value than simply killing them. Anyway, these five guys couldn't stir up any trouble on his territory. In fact, if he wished, he could replay and review everything that happened after they arrived here at any time.
In that case, what did he have to fear?
These guys should be the ones afraid!
…
God Realm.
Before sending the five God Officials to the Douluo Continent, the Five God Kings each separated a wisp of their Divine Sense, attaching it to one of the God Officials. Following these God Officials, they passed through the Space Passageway to the Douluo Continent.
It could be said that these five God Officials were not only Cannon Fodder but also the ears and eyes of the Five God Kings. Through the wisp of Divine Sense attached to them, the Five God Kings could observe the situation on the Douluo Continent in real-time, even while remaining in the God Realm.
Soon.
Through the effect of their Divine Sense, the Five God Kings discovered that the five God Officials encountered no obstacles, passing smoothly through the Space Tunnel and descending upon the Douluo Continent.
These five God Officials consisted of three males and two females. After descending to the Douluo Continent, they did not act rashly. Nor did they grandiosely display their Divine Power as Deities. Instead, they first began searching for locals of the Douluo Continent, hoping to learn about the current changes there.
Soon.
After the five God Officials searched the memories of many locals, they finally determined what the abnormal power enveloping the entire Douluo Continent was.
Q&A Space?
Answering questions?
Correct answers rewarded, incorrect answers punished.
After the five God Kings in the God Realm reviewed the information transmitted via their Divine Sense, they all fell silent.
This so-called Q&A clearly didn't seem like a power that should exist on the Douluo Continent; rather, it resembled something only the gods of the God Realm could accomplish. To be honest, if they disregarded the cost, they could indeed achieve the same effect as the Q&A Space.
However, when their God Realm faced this Q&A, even with the entire God Realm's power gathered, it appeared so powerless, as fragile as paper, pierced with a single touch!
Clearly, this mysteriously descended Q&A was essentially far superior to the God Realm. That's why it could suppress them so easily.
"Where exactly did this mysterious Q&A come from?"
"Why did it descend upon the Douluo Continent?"
"And what is its purpose?"
"Is it truly just a Q&A?"
"What benefit does doing this bring to it?"
A series of questions surged in their minds. The asymmetry of information made the Five God Kings increasingly wary of this mysterious Q&A.
The unknown is truly the most terrifying thing.
Without knowing the true nature of this mysterious Q&A, the five God Kings dared not act rashly at all. Especially after suffering such a significant loss earlier.
In the end, after some deliberation, the Five God Kings decided to bide their time. They instructed the five God Officials not to be ostentatious, not to reveal their identity as Deities, and to investigate on the Douluo Continent for a period, to see if they could uncover any clues about the mysterious Q&A.
Once the truth of this Q&A was understood, it wouldn't be too late to make their move.
