The Queen of Agony returned alone to her lair.
Her lair was a massive beehive, ancient and majestic, appearing as if crafted by nature itself, not by human hands. Outside the beehive were hexagonal bee holes, emitting streams of black gas, like bottomless demon caves.
However, the beehive was desolate and empty, with no bee insects entering or exiting to gather honey, as if it had been abandoned for a long ti.
The Queen of Agony lay on the King’s Platform within the beehive, recuperating in absolute silence, undisturbed by any noise or people.
She had returned to her human form, her delicate body outlining an enticing and graceful silhouette in the dimness, motionless like a sleeping beauty.
"Tap, tap, tap!" Just then, a series of hurried footsteps echoed, and a figure quickly entered the beehive.
The Queen of Agony seed to have been waiting for a long ti and finally opened her eyes, looking toward the figure.
The person was dressed in a black monk’s robe, with a bald head marked by blood-colored patterns—a Pain Acolyte.
The Pain Acolyte approached the King’s Platform, knelt, and respectfully said, "Honorable Queen of Agony, your humble servant Fànyú has completed the mission of brewing the Divine Nectar and cos to present it."
He then raised his hands above his head, offering a Divine Crystal Vial.
The vial contained a colorless, transparent liquid that swayed within, emitting shimring waves in the dim beehive.
"Very good!" The Queen of Agony slightly nodded, extending a jade-like hand to summon it gently.
The Divine Crystal Vial in Fànyú’s hands slowly floated up to the King’s Platform, landing in the Queen of Agony’s hands.
The Queen of Agony gazed at the Divine Nectar in the vial, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth. Even through the vial, she could sense the unique aura of the nectar, an irresistible temptation given her current state. Drinking it would rapidly heal her wounds and restore her to peak condition!
"You have done well. These two Heavenly Pearls are your reward. You can soon ascend from a Two Steps Heaven level to a Four Steps to Ascension!" The Queen of Agony glanced at Fànyú below and casually tossed two Beads down.
Fànyú quickly extended his hand to catch the two Beads.
The two Beads were sky-blue, with a faint white aura swirling on them, like clouds in the blue sky, extraordinary and mystical.
These are treasures in the eyes of an Ascension Stronghold—a Heavenly Pearl!
After reaching the Ascension Stage, each step forward is extrely difficult, requiring wisdom, perseverance, fate, and ti far beyond ordinary people to have a sliver of hope for success. Yet one Heavenly Pearl can allow a stronghold in the Ascension Stage to take a step directly!
Fànyú spent half a lifeti advancing to the Two Steps Heaven level. With these two Heavenly Pearls, he can directly ascend to Four Steps to Ascension, equaling the rit of his half-life of arduous cultivation!
Holding the two Heavenly Pearls, Fànyú’s hands trembled with excitent. He carefully put away the pearls and gratefully kowtowed a few tis, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, Honorable Queen of Agony! Thank you, Honorable Queen of Agony!"
The Queen of Agony waved her hand, saying, "You may leave! I need to concentrate on healing, do not disturb again!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Fànyú stood up and retreated, quickly flying towards a remote place to absorb the two Heavenly Pearls and ascend to Four Steps to Ascension.
...
Elsewhere, in the black wasteland, Youth with Middle School Syndro and Young Master Luo will Lead You continued their difficult flight forward.
The wasteland environnt was harsh, filled with demonic qi, and occasional black sandstorms swept in, blowing people away like leaves.
They had survived many crises along the way. At this mont, Youth with Middle School Syndro’s face was pale, and his flight wobbled, each flap of his wings requiring all his strength.
"I can’t hold on! I can’t hold on any longer!" He finally couldn’t maintain his flying posture and fell from the air.
He was originally a casual player with low level and weak strength. The constant demonic qi in the black wasteland caused him considerable harm, and enduring until now was already his limit.
Young Master Luo will Lead You landed carrying Huang Yi, stopping beside Youth with Middle School Syndro, reaching out a hand to help him up.
"Leave be!" Youth with Middle School Syndro lay limp on the ground, shaking his head weakly and panting, "I know my worth; I’m about to be corroded to death by this demonic qi. The scent of the Secretion is in this direction; if you fly down, you will eventually find the Queen of Agony. The rest of the journey, you must carry Big Brother God of Slaughter yourself! I will join Overlord and the Qingming River Map shortly; we will pray for you from afar."
Young Master Luo will Lead You pursed his lips, finally nodding, "Alright! Take care, brother!"
With that, he waved goodbye to Youth with Middle School Syndro, flapped his blood-colored wings, and flew alone towards the sky, carrying Huang Yi.
Youth with Middle School Syndro watched them go, a hopeful smile crossing his face, and he slowly closed his eyes, peacefully awaiting death.
His mission was over!
Thus, in this six-person squad, Overlord, Qing Ming, He Tu, and Youth with Middle School Syndro had all completed their missions, leaving only Young Master Luo will Lead You and Huang Yi!
The journey ahead could only be completed by the two of them, to confront the Queen of Agony!
Young Master Luo will Lead You flew forward carrying Huang Yi, a solitary figure steadfastly advancing through the vast expanse of black sand storms.
The gales of wind ford by demonic qi bent his small body, yet could not stop his wing’s flapping.
He raised his head high, continually gazing into the distance, searching for the hiding place of the Queen of Agony.
At this mont, many people in The Second World were living their lives as usual; players from various countries were perhaps playing and joking, forums were full of posts angrily cursing Huang Yi. No one knew that in a distant, unknown evil space, two small figures were striving desperately for The Second World!
There were no audiences here, no applause, no encouragent, only solitude!
Finally, after flying for a long ti, the edge of the black wasteland revealed an enormous black beehive!
The black beehive lood like a mountain peak on the distant horizon, towering loftily, solitary in arrogance, exuding an overwhelming sense of evil even from afar.
That should be the hiding place of the Queen of Agony!
Young Master Luo will Lead You was invigorated, quickening his wings, flying toward the black beehive carrying Huang Yi.
