#264 - Chapter 264: Deal with the Gods
“Ah…”
“Finally back.”
Wu Wei raised his head, glanced at the black and red vortex above, and said with incomparable relaxation.
“As expected, compared to the utterly boring real world, I still find the endless abyss more suitable for me.”
As he spoke, Wu Wei sat down on his own abyss throne and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although Wu Wei said so, in reality, his mind was somewhat chaotic at this moment.
Because in the short half-day that Wu Wei returned to the real world, many things had piled up on his head all at once.
First, there was the issue of the Gu family's revenge.
Although Wu Wei still didn't understand why he was linked to Gu Changqing's death.
But it must be said that since the deity's prophecy linked Wu Wei to Gu Changqing's death,
Then no matter how Wu Wei tries to argue, it will be in vain.
Because gods cannot be questioned!
After all, the gods in the Lord Era truly exist.
And these indescribably great beings do indeed possess powers that mortals cannot imagine.
So their seemingly ethereal prophecies are actually very likely to be true.
Therefore, the Gu family's anger will naturally be borne by Wu Wei himself.
What's even more terrifying is that the Gu family is a genuine family.
Although they are in irreversible decline, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.
The Gu family's vast power can plunge this newborn abyss lord into eternal damnation in minutes.
And the current Wu Wei does not have enough hard power to contend with the Gu family.
And this is only the first thing Wu Wei needs to worry about at the moment.
In addition to the Gu family, joining the War Academy is enough to give Wu Wei a headache.
However, unlike the troubles from the Gu family,
Wu Wei's worries about the War Academy are self-inflicted.
Or rather, a disaster caused by greed.
Although Wu Wei himself has no loyalty to the War Academy or the empire behind it,
Joining the War Academy itself is a form of "dedication" to the empire.
Moreover, the purpose of the War Academy's recruitment of students is to cultivate the strongest lords for the empire.
So no matter what, from the moment Wu Wei really steps into the War Academy, he is equivalent to being tied to the empire's chariot.
If the battlefield mission rewards given by the War Academy itself were not tempting enough, Wu Wei would not have considered taking this muddy water trip.
However, the War Academy has an advantage that other academies do not have.
That is, as an academy, it can leave and withdraw from the academy at any time.
This is something that other academies, and even other alliance internal academies, do not have.
Therefore, Wu Wei, who is naturally fond of "freedom", will choose to accept certain restrictions and join the War Academy.
He even made plans early on.
Once he completes enough battlefield missions, he will leave the War Academy without hesitation, and then try to stay away from this vortex where there are many connections with the imperial family.
And this is the second thing Wu Wei is worried about.
As for the third thing, it has nothing to do with Wu Wei.
What he worries about is Su Yingxue.
No.
Wu Wei is not actually worried about Su Yingxue herself, because he knows better than anyone what a shrewd and cunning fellow Su Yingxue is.
His worries are completely superfluous.
What he is really worried about is Su Yingxue's choice, and the impact of her choice on the [Su Family Guild]!
Because before Wu Wei left, Su Yuanzheng told Wu Wei that Su Yingxue was building a new guild holy site in the Su Family Guild.
Once the guild holy site is completed, in addition to Su Yingxue receiving a divine gift, the entire Su Family Guild will receive divine gifts from [Lord of Light Saint Karl] and [Goddess of Knowledge Liu Su].
This sounds like a good opportunity for the Su Family Guild to greatly enhance its strength.
But Wu Wei has some doubts about Su Yingxue's choice.
Gods bestow upon mortals who seek something, mortals become stronger, and gods therefore receive the worship of mortals.
This sounds like a win-win deal.
But the question is, will gods really stop there?
And will those great gods really just give grace in order to receive the worship of these mortals?
As Wu Wei is increasingly affected by the abyss, he is increasingly suspicious of this question!
Because in the abyss's records.
Gods have always been terrible beings who are more selfish, more indifferent, and more ruthless than any other creature.
In the view of the endless abyss, gods are not the so-called givers.
The opposite is true.
Mortals are the givers.
And gods are just a group of plunderers!
Thinking of this, Wu Wei felt a horror from the bottom of his heart.
Because he could feel that the more the Su Family Guild relies on divine grace, the easier it is for them to be plundered of their souls by the gods.
And when this plunder reaches a certain level....
They will naturally become enemies of the abyss!
“Alas.....”
Wu Wei sighed, closed his eyes while sitting on the throne.
But before long, the fallen angel Liz came to Wu Wei's side and woke him up.
“Lord, the harvest ceremony of the Raven's Habitat world.”
“Has begun!”
