Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

”Sun God...” She spoke, barely containing her anger.

”Hmm? You know me?” The Sun God was delighted, ”Does the official really value me this much? Even gave me a special hidden quest? Alright, alright, the damn developer, I temporarily announce that your deceased mom is alive again!”

”Know you? Of course I know you... I know every single one of you.”

Seeing the Sun God still muttering to himself like a madman and constantly overlapping with the arrogant, narcissistic Sun God she remembered who loved to boast, the Godslayer could barely suppress her anger.

If not for that intense longing in her heart that had existed for 20,000 years, she might’ve already wiped out this pretentious guy in front of her and refined him into a part of her own power.

”Tell me, why is it you who has revived! Where are the other Ancient Gods! When will they return to this world!”

”Other Ancient Gods? Are you talking about those deities who shined together with me in the same era?”

Seeing that the ”plot was unfolding,” the Sun God immediately immersed himself in his current identity, manifesting the dignity worthy of an Ancient Immortal God, trying to maintain his divine stature.

Or rather...

After becoming a Dimensional Demon God, he truly possessed the might of a deity, no longer being as arrogant and pretentious as he was in his youth.

Even without deliberately holding himself up, the aura he exuded from within was extremely sacred.

Of course, this had to overlook his current immobile state lying flat on the ground; just the expression on his face alone.

”Those guys are having fun in other worlds. Aside from a few Immortal Gods, like me, who have deep emotional ties to this world, I’m afraid there won’t be any other Ancient Gods choosing to revive.”

”I don’t know if you can understand; most creatures always favor the new over the old. Once they have new pursuits, most of them have already distanced themselves from their once base interests.”

”Perhaps only nostalgic gods like me would come back to check on how their former followers are doing, so I suggest you not expect too much, as many new Immortal Gods will replace their old positions.”

The Sun God tried to maintain his game character without going out of character while explaining the choices of those who used to play games with him back in the day.

Most of them by now have become Dimensional Demon Gods, or embarked on other equally powerful cultivation paths, possessing powers far greater and more magnificent than they had in their game of yore.

Except for nostalgic beings like the Sun God, who would play the real game when they could?

However, after the Sun God candidly disclosed everything, things did not proceed as he had imagined.

The long-suppressed anger in the Godslayer’s heart could no longer be contained and erupted like a supernova.

The abundant violent energy instantly fragmented the surrounding space into chaos, manifesting twisted, overlapping space rifts that were deep and dark.

”You say... they... aren’t coming back?”

The Godslayer’s originally graceful expression turned into a sinister hatred, her entire face contorted.

”I waited for him a whole 20,000 years! 20,000 years! Everyone else is already dead, and I’m the only one left! And you’re telling me, they will never return!”

”Hey, wait a minute! Who are you really? Are you one of our... Are you surviving from the Mythical Era? You’ve lived a full 20,000 years?”

The Sun God realized that the situation was somewhat outside his expectations, and immediately racked his brains recalling past memories, trying to stall some time with his words.

The time flow in this created world could be adjusted.

When they played back then, the time flow was extremely fast.

Lived a year here, and only a day passed in the real world.

Yet, since the temporary server shutdown, in order to reduce resource consumption, the production team restored the time flow to normal.

Hence, not only had 20,000 years passed here, but also 20,000 years had elapsed since the Sun God’s last log-in.

Searching for memories from 20,000 years ago is not a trivial task.

Even as a Dimensional Demon God, it took him several seconds to remember why the figure before him seemed familiar.

This NPC, he had met before!

”I remember; you were the High Priest under the God of Space back then? Des·Space-Time Storm? As I recall, he changed your name to that?”

Even the Sun God himself found it hard to believe his own memory; the situation before him exceeded the range of the information he knew.

”But no, wait! How have you been alive until now? Without the Space guy, without the Longevity Pill, you should’ve long perished with age! Did the officials specifically extend your life?”

”That doesn’t seem right! Why is it only you who has this privilege? Why not my High Priest either? Is it just because you were leveled up by the God of Space from a bottom-tier NPC? Given special care by the officials?”

”That doesn’t make sense either! Why do you possess fighting prowess stronger than mine? NPC’s level cap hasn’t been unlocked, how did you exceed the limits set by the officials?”

”Hehe... Wanting to become like me today, isn’t that... very easy? As long as...”

The Godslayer, or rather Des, the original High Priest and the sole High Priest of the God of Space, appeared unusually calm.

But upon a closer look, one could find endless grief and madness in her eyes.

Soon after, a twisted smile curled up on her lips.

”Eating humans is quite enough!”

The information provided by the True Monarch of Destiny to Lu Wenwu was indeed correct.

Godslayer Des had indeed existed since the dawn of the human era.

Yet back then, she was merely the High Priest of the God of Space, the most ancient person living in the world.

But what the True Monarch of Destiny didn’t know was that she was also the Ancestor of all Demon Cultivators, the Ancestor of Pathfinders!

She was the first person who, after the Mythical Era, forcibly created a non-deity cultivation technique, she was, in the truest sense, the first Pathfinder!

Even today’s Celestial Emperor and Divine King might not know, amidst the long years of human exploration of all cultivation systems, its root was a profoundly flawed basic demonic cultivation technique.

And the initial reason she created the demonic path system was merely because of two words—longevity!

To stay alive.

To make the ones she treasured live.

To keep herself alive.

Alive to witness the day when the once God of Space revives.

”Eating humans?”

The Sun God was slightly startled, then quickly reflected.

”You’ve cultivated a technique that devours others’ lifeforce and cultivation? How do you know such things? It should be impossible for the officials to add such balance-breaking settings!”

Being a Dimensional Demon God, he naturally understood the power of devouring strength.

As a race who could mercilessly use the lifeforms of an entire planet as their game ground, his moral viewpoint did not consider devouring power as something demonic or evil.

However, not everyone was qualified to harness it.

Without a Dao Heart that can withstand all calamities, devouring power would quickly swell in a short time until it devours the cultivator entirely.

”Devouring, this is the most primitive power and nature of living beings. To dig out this nature, I did indeed spend a lot of effort.” Des licked the corner of her lips, ”Starting with the strong of the same era, and then the Immortal Gods of the new era, now... it’s your turn.”

”What? You want to devour me?” The Sun God was dumbfounded on the spot.

I was just thinking of playing a game to reminisce about my youth, and ended up being killed by a darkened NPC under my former opponent?

What kind of situation is this?

And can the materials making up my body... really be devoured by an NPC?

”Yes, become a part of me...”

Des seemed to recall something wonderful, gently holding the Sun God’s face, her eyes interweaving reminiscence and madness, forming chaos.

”If my true master won’t come find me, then I’ll find a way to seek him. By devouring your soul and memories, I can know the location of my master.”

”By sacrificing all the life on this planet, I shall gain power stronger than now! I will possess the power to transcend this planet and even this universe!”

”My master, wherever you are, your devoted High Priestess Des·Space-Time Storm will follow your footsteps, forever and always...”

The next moment, an overwhelming black shadow burst forth from Des, engulfing the dazed Sun God into a deep darkness, leaving no trace.

Meanwhile, Des herself was also wrapped in those black shadows, forming a cocoon-like heart, a terrifying aura emanating from within unceasingly.
