I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

“Once the number of Spiritual-level players exceeds 10 million, the fourth public test might be triggered, which is something the Hua Country’s officials do not want to see.”

“Because when the Fourth Public Test is activated, there’s a high probability that it’ll open up the Spatial Channels like the last time, and it will be disastrous for Hua Country.”

The Fourth Public Test?

Su Nan frowned.

He had to admit that it was possible that the guess in the post might be true.

The condition for the Second Public Test was someone breaking through to the Spirit-Level. The condition for the Third Public Test was the emergence of three Xuan-level players. It wouldn’t be unlikely for the condition for the Fourth Public Test to be the presence of 10 million Spiritual-level players.

“If that’s the case, then it’s terrible!”

Su Nan’s heart was heavy. The demons in reality hadn’t been dealt with yet. If the Spatial Channels were to open again, there might be no place left for humans in reality. Even the Hua Country would find it hard to protect itself.

After all, the last spatial channel could allow King-level demonic beasts to pass through. If it starts again, maybe mid-stage King-level and even late-stage King-level ones could pass!

“Fourth Public Test? Great, finally, the Fourth Public Test is coming. I don’t want to live in fear like this for even a single day!”

“Based on previous patterns, the Fourth Public Test would involve one billion people, and by then, most of the remaining ordinary people in the world would have the opportunity to enter the game.”

Many people were not aware of the severity of the Fourth Public Test. Instead, many ordinary people, especially those who fled to Hua Country from other countries, hoped for the Fourth Public Test to start as soon as possible.

Upon seeing this, Su Nan sighed.

No matter whether the Heavenly Destiny Society’s purpose really was to speed up players’ breakthroughs or to achieve some other goal, spreading the Call Heaven Scripture had already happened and was irreversible. No one could change it now.

What he could do now was to prioritize improving his strength!

After looking for a while, he couldn’t find any other interesting content and was about to exit the forum when Li Hao’s reply finally arrived just in time.

“Big Brother, you finally have time? Great!” exclaimed Li Hao, feeling elated.

He had been trapped in his residence for four or five days, and during this time, he hadn’t been able to complete a single task. He had only managed to widen the gap between him and other players by completing two 3 stars mainline tasks. However, the gap had been closed due to the wasted days.

“The relic I’m in is located in Chaoping Town in Silver Frost County … There’s a lake called Wanchao Lake where the entrance to the relic is located in the middle of the lake.”

Li Hao told Su Nan the location of the relic.

While speaking, a frustrated expression appeared on his face as if he had thought of something, “Big Brother, you need a token to enter this relic, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter without it!”

A token? Su Nan shook his head slightly.

He had Across the Heavens Shift and didn’t need any token.

As long as it wasn’t a strange place like the Ancient God Tomb, his Across the Heavens Shift allowed him to enter easily.

Speaking of the Ancient God Tomb, he was very doubtful now that there were problems with both time and space there.

There, his connection with his avatar would be severed, which only happened when there was a discrepancy between the two spaces. If it were just a space issue, in theory, his Across the Heavens Shift should not be affected, but for some reason, it couldn’t be used.

“Join me in the game in four hours.”

Su Nan didn’t say much else; he replied and exited the forum.

After re-logging into the game, he turned into a flying bird and quickly flew towards the direction Li Hao mentioned.

Chaoping Town was a small town built by the lake.

After the Third Public Test, Hua Country added more than 10 million new players. These players were scattered in various counties and, due to their low strength, couldn’t make long journeys to Zhongtian County. Instead, they had to find places with fewer demons to settle down temporarily, eventually forming many player gathering spots.

Chaoping Town was one of those gathering spots.

There were three to four thousand players gathered in this area, the majority of whom were members of a guild called “Family Lights”. However, after the appearance of the Destiny Society a few days ago, all the players here without exception had become the members of the Destiny Society.

More than two hours later, Su Nan finally arrived at Chaoping Lake and found the so-called Wanchao Lake.

To his surprise, at this moment, more than a hundred players had gathered on the shore of Wanchao Lake. They were looking at the lake as if they were planning something, all appearing rather tense.

A tall, middle-aged man glanced at the crowd and whispered, “Don’t worry, everyone. This time, we will definitely be able to kill the damn demon. As long as we kill the demon, Chaoping Town will be completely ours!”

Hunting demons?

Su Nan realized that he didn’t care and looked towards the center of the lake, planning to use Foreknowledge first.

At this moment, the words of a skinny young man next to the tall middle-aged man caught his attention.

The skinny youth said, “The boss is right. The boss has already reached the mid-stage of the Spirit-level, and more than a hundred of our brothers have started cultivating the Call Heaven Scripture and have awakened their bloodlines. Even if they face early-stage Spirit-level demons, they will have the power to fight. This time, we will definitely succeed.”

These people had all cultivated the Call Heaven Scripture?

Su Nan became interested and wanted to see what was unique about these players who had cultivated the Call Heaven Scripture.

Soon, after a period of preparation, the players made their move. Several law-controlling class players unleashed a bombardment of spells towards the center of the lake. This undoubtedly angered the creature in the lake.

A demon, resembling both a shrimp and a crab and covered in a red armor, appeared in the players’ view.

“You filthy insects! Disturbing my sleep time and time again, you all deserve to die!” The demon roared in anger. The next moment, a stream of water arrows shot towards the players on the shore.

The players reacted quickly and immediately retreated to the land, evidently planning to lure the demon onto the shore before attacking it.

The demon saw through their intentions and not only didn’t stop its pursuit but sneered and charged towards the players even more quickly.

Finally, the players led the demon to a location a hundred meters away from the lake and began their onslaught against it.

However, the demon’s outer shell was incredibly tough. The players’ spells landed on its body but couldn’t cause any damage, instead, further enraging the demon.

“None of you will get away today,” The demon roared, and the next moment, the rolling water surge seemed to come alive and swept over the players.

The water surge was as powerful as a thunderbolt. None of the players could withstand it; they were sent flying backward, and some even died on the spot!

The middle-aged leader roared in anger as he tried to shatter the water surge. However, when he touched the water, he couldn’t resist it and was sent flying.

The middle-aged man’s face turned pale, and he exclaimed in horror, “This demon isn’t late-stage Spirit level; it’s a peak Spirit-level demon! The demon has advanced!”

“What? Peak Spirit-level? How are we supposed to defeat it?”

The other players looked horrified. There was a significant gap between late-stage Spirit level and peak Spirit level for them, even though it was only a small realm difference.

“Run! Scatter and run!” The leading middle-aged man shouted.

The demon sneered, “Hehe, only thinking of running now? It’s too late!”

Water gathered into water arrows and shot out. The players lost their confidence and only thought of running. In this situation, facing the demon’s attack, it became a one-sided massacre.

In just a moment, a large number of players were killed.

Looking at this scene, Su Nan’s brows furrowed slightly. These players who cultivated the Call Heaven Scripture were indeed somewhat stronger than ordinary peak Mortal-level players, but not by much, and there was nothing strange about them.

“These players have cultivated the Call Heaven Scripture too shallowly. It seems that if I want to understand the problem with the Call Heaven Scripture, I have to do it myself.” He decided to get a copy of the Call Heaven Scripture and try cultivating it in his Foreknowledge.

Not wasting any more time, he randomly transformed into a player’s appearance and appeared several meters away from the demon. Then, he shot out a fireball, and the peak Spirit-level demon was killed without even having the chance to dodge.

Hearing the commotion behind them, the players unconsciously looked back. When they saw the corpse of the demon falling, they were all dumbstruck.

Su Nan didn’t waste any words. He directly asked, “Who has a copy of the Call Heaven Scripture? Give me one.”
