The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 203: Bei Li’s True Form

At that moment, the white-haired old man’s figure remained blurry, but Lu Wu could see his appearance clearly behind the scenes with the help of the artifact.

It was the white-haired old man who lived halfway up the Cliffs of Desperation.

Lu Wu finally realized that the predictions he had made were correct. This man was the first King of Beiqi, North Sea himself.

Looking at the white-haired old man, a sense of familiarity arose from within Lu Wu. He felt as if he had met this person before.

After going through his training, Lu Wu’s soul had grown stronger, making these kinds of feelings obscure to him. There seemed to be some kind of connection between their souls.

Lu Wu was puzzled by this. Logically thinking, his ancestor should be Lu Yan. Not to mention that that man had left his traces all over the Land of Beiqi, and this was an actual fact. However, why would he feel this way when it came to North Sea, a man who had barely anything to do with him?

“Do I know him?” Lu Wu turned his head swiftly to look at Bei Li.

Bei Li immediately started to act adorable and awkward, as if totally clueless about who she was, where she was, and why she was there.

“Little Li!” Lu Wu threw himself at Bei Li and raised his paws.

“Is it alright if my answer is that I don’t know?” Bei Li squeaked.

“Not a chance!” Lu Wu rolled his eyes at her.

“Okay… basically, he’s not your enemy. You two are closely related, but not biologically!”

“What do you mean? Could it be that he was my lover from a previous life?” fear surfaced in Lu Wu’s eyes.

Bei Li blushed with shame and could not help but to swing her hand and slap Lu Wu’s head.

“It’s not what you think, what were you actually thinking? He was personally trained by you…”

As she went on, Bei Li’s voice turned into a soft whisper. Lu Wu had his ear right in front of her mouth, his curiosity beginning to overflow.

“Say it… what do you mean by trained by me? Tell me clearly!” Lu Wu could not wait anymore.

“I won’t say it!”

“I’m gonna have to fight you if you keep this up!” Lu Wu showed his paw.

“Over my dead body!”

“I’ll cut down on your snacks by half!”

“Okay, I’ll talk!”

Bei Li sadly hung her head low.

“Spill, what does this old man have to do with me!?” Lu Wu questioned her in a pretentious manner.

“He’s the heir that you’ve trained yourself!” Bei Li puffed up her mouth, her face fuming.

“Heir? Isn’t he the first King of Beiqi? And he’s going to continue my legacy as the next King of Beiqi?” Lu Wu was utterly dumbfounded.

Bei Li looked up, stared at Lu Wu seriously and said, “Wu, do you still remember the girl who called herself Li?”

“Yes, she’s strong, she even sealed the Demonic God away!” Lu Wu nodded.

“Her real name was Bei Li! She was the elite of the Beiqi Divine Clan and the founder of the Land of Beiqi!”

Bei Li’s words left Lu Wu completely shocked. Then, he showed an expression as if he expected this.

“That girl in white was really you!”

“I already told you that she wasn’t me, but you must be mentally prepared for what I’m about to tell you next…”

Lu Wu nodded, although his heart was jumping up and down, feeling as if it was not going to be good news.

“The elite of the Beiqi Divine Clan, Bei Li, was you. And who you are now is her present form after countless rounds of reincarnation!”

Lu Wu’s cat eyes widened, his body leaning backward from the surprise.

“Yes, you heard it right. You were once Bei Li, the elite of the Beiqi Divine Clan!”

Splat!

Lu Wu fell to the floor.

“What about Lu Yan? Who was he? Was he my reincarnated form, too? Also, why did I choose to reincarnate if I was so strong? Moreover, if I’m Bei Li, then who are you?”

Bei Li picked Lu Wu up in her arms.

“Lu Wu was the old ancestor from your reincarnation. As I have mentioned before, you and I, we both have a very complicated relationship. After you left, I changed my name to Bei Li, and about my identity…”

As she spoke, Bei Li smiled, her eyes disappearing in squints, “You wouldn’t wish to experience the pain back then, right?”

Lu Wu shook his head without hesitation. Having experienced that feeling once, he never wanted to try it again. The agony from within his soul was far worse than killing him.

“That’s right, so you should focus on improving your strength as fast as you can. Follow your thoughts and take one step at a time. Now, your soul has achieved Ghost Commander Intermediate Realm. Just have a bit more patience and everything will reveal itself in the future!”

“Okay then!”

At that moment, Lu Wu was still shocked and had yet to recover from it.

Little did he know that the one who suppressed the Demonic God was himself, and the white-haired old man was his heir that he had trained.

Right now, his mind started to run wild, but his train of thoughts gradually became clearer.

If the goddess in white was really him, then the order for the white-haired old man to suppress the Demonic God had obviously come from him.

But what was I really conspiring? Could it be that I had given the order for the white-haired old man to conceal himself, too?

The more Lu Wu thought, the more dumbfounded he was.

But hey, I was so cool back then! Why did I have to be a girl!?

Lu Wu stomped on the floor in frustration!

…

After enduring the white-haired old man’s ruthless beating, Lie Shan’s tears dried up.

I only followed his orders obediently to leave the Barren Grassland and go into battle Where did I go wrong?

Was it because I was too cocky when I granted three moves to the opponent before I took action, and this has enraged His Majesty?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason behind it. Lie Shan raised his head.

“Your Majesty, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have acted cocky, I shouldn’t have granted the opponent three moves!”

The white-haired old man glared at him, “You still don’t fucking know what you did wrong!”

Seeing that the white-haired old man was about to hit him again, Lie Shan habitually pulled himself back and lied down on the ground.

Nevertheless, the white-haired old man did not hit him this time, but only said, “Since you’re here, finish your business first before meeting me at the Cliffs of Desperation. I’ll be waiting!”

After he was done talking, the white-haired old man glared at Mu Zhiguang before disappearing on the spot.

…

Seeing the white-haired old man leave, Lie Shan’s heart was in despair. Deep down he knew that there would only be bad news if he went and looked for him.

Even until now, Lie Shan was still unsure about what he had done wrong.

He then slowly picked himself up. His gaze once again fell on Mu Zhiguang, who was hovering in the sky.

“Tsk! It’s all your fault for making me receive a beating from that old man just now, you should have a taste of it, too!”

This time, Lie Shan did not mention a word regarding his last move. He banged both his fists on the ground as rusty yellow energy gushed into his body, making him twinkle in golden light.

Mu Zhiguang was aware that Lie Shan was about to make his move. Thus, he held a straight face as the Death Halo appeared once more on his forehead.

The halo shot up in the air and enlarged, its shine complementing the black light that enveloped the world. A black, scaly, enormous arm slowly emerged out from this halo and dashed toward Lie Shan.

“So you finally grasped the basics of the Law of Death? Not bad!” Lie Shan flashed a cunning smile and his figure disappeared. Then, a glimmering gigantic golden hammer morphed in his hand, which he swung heavily toward the enormous hand.

Boom!

The impact from the collision tore a crack in space and time.

A roaring current swept past as pebbles on the ground shot in every direction like bullets due to the titanic shockwave that was brought upon by it, causing tons of creatures beneath them to be caught in the crossfire.

As he blocked the oppression from the enormous black hand, the golden hammer in Lie Shan’s hand burst out in rays of light, which only got more and more blinding.

“Open!” with an angry growl from Lie Shan, the giant hammer thrusted upward.

Under such enormous force, the black gigantic hand began to slightly back off and was forced to re-enter the halo. Lie Shan then lifted the large golden hammer before smashing it onto the black aura.

Crack!

The Aura of Death enveloping the world instantly broke and the zombie fighters of the Sea King Navy fell flat.

“Today, anyone who dares to invade my beloved Beiqi will not leave. Kill them all!”

With Lie Shan’s words, the warriors of the Earth Breaking Clan charged at the Sea King Navy once again.

The players also quickly followed up and assembled, launching an attack on the Sea King Navy alongside the army of the Earth Breaking Clan.

The tables in this fight had turned so many times. After a few ups and downs, even the experienced fighters, the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King had drawn a blank.

They didn’t dare say if they would surely win this round. After all, what if there was another stronger party hiding behind the scenes?

However, the Sea King knew that his strongest trump card was Mu Zhiguang. Nonetheless, judging from how they fought, it was clear that Mu Zhiguang was not someone who could go against the leader of the Earth Breaking Clan, so he knew he had already lost.

Looking at the vast land covered with the bodies of fallen soldiers, the Sea King understood that his position as the overlord of the Void Ocean was no longer guaranteed.

“I will not resign myself to this!”

There was a malicious look on the Sea King’s face. He threw himself at the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King fiercely as the hopelessness that weighed on him turned into his last hysterical fight.
