I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

[You are aware that the old man has not died, but somehow deceived all the corpse puppets and soul-eating demons. With the continuation of the ceremony, the old man will surely wake up and launch an attack on you.] [You decide to strike first to gain the upper hand and to get rid of the old man.] [Just as the many corpse puppets and soul-eating demons focused their sight on the three outsiders, you used “Across the Heavens Shift” to suddenly appear behind the old man.]

[Your racial talent “One Force Breaking The Sky” is unleashed. With the power of Primordial Qi and Essence Energy from your main body, you launch a full- scale attack on the old man.]

[The old man, having used unknown secret techniques to feign death, had never imagined that someone would suddenly appear behind him and attack. He was caught unprepared without any chance to react and you successfully landed your blow.]

[A tremendous force landed on the old man’s head, causing it to burst into pieces. He died on the spot, and became a headless corpse.] A king-level powerhouse was killed in the foreknowledge!

Previously, the offering god demons in the three ancient temples were defeated with the help of the Great Princess, but this was the first time Su Nan truly killed a king-level powerhouse on his own.

Of course, the main reason he was able to kill the old man in one blow was that the latter was using a secret technique to feign death. Another major factor was that the old man wasn’t from the physique series, but from the law-controlling class, which accounted for his vulnerability.

This was evident from the old man’s last attack on him during foreknowledge.

Otherwise, if they were to confront each other head-on, even if Su Nan could kill the old man, he would have to put in great effort and wouldn’t be able to finish him in one blow like he did now.

[To prevent the old man’s corpse from becoming the food for the following feast, you dared not leave the old man’s corpse, quickly put it into the Cosmic Ring and returned to the statue of the divine god.]

[Your sudden move attracted the attention of all the corpse puppets and soul-eating demons. The bride looked at you with even more anger, though she could not attack you due to the constraints of the ceremony.]

[The feast continued, and the eye gazes of the corpse puppets and soul-eating demons once again fell on the three outsiders. Greed surfaced on their previously expressionless faces.]

[The three outsiders finally sensed the danger and wanted to run away, but had no chance at all. All the corpse puppets and soul-eating demons surrounded them.]

[The three outsiders cried out to you for help, but you ignored them. The next moment, they were attacked by the Power of Divine Soul and fell unconscious.]

[End of fourth prediction, continue?]

“I’ve killed a guest and haven’t been attacked. It seems as long as I don’t run, there won’t be any problems.”

“After the death of the three outsiders, they will disappear and the only proper guest has been killed. Now that the food for the feast is gone, I wonder if the feast will continue?”

” If it continues, what will happen next?

Looking at the information of foreknowledge, Su Nan contemplated silently.

The foreknowledge continues.

[You see that the corpse puppets and soul-eating demons put the three outsiders on three long tables respectively. The male child (Ceremony Host) comes forward and carves open the bodies of the three outsiders.]

[The three outsiders died, the food for the feast disappeared, and the impatient guests who awaited to savour their flesh immediately lost control. Their faces twisted in rage were grotesque and terrifying.]

[The male child (Ceremony Host), who controlled the ceremony, was even more furious. He looked around the hall for a replacement for the food, but ultimately found no alternative.]

[The Wedding Matron beside you was even angrier. Without food, the progression of the ceremony wouldn’t halt, but her chances to extract your lifespan and Qi luck diminished, which infuriated her even more.] [Unfortunately, due to the rules of the ceremony, she was helpless.] [The ceremony continued, and a minute later, the corpse puppets and soul-eating demons who couldn’t find replacement food howled one after another.] [Two minutes later, all the corpse puppets and soul-eating demons fell into madness.]

[Three minutes later, the feast time ended, and the ceremony will enter the third part, the bridal chamber.]

[End of fifth prediction, continue?]

“Third part? Why is there a third part?”

“Bridal chamber?”

“What kind of joke is this? They expect me to have a bridal chamber with that ghostly thing?”

Looking at the last piece of information from the prediction, Su Nan was instantly disturbed.

If it was just an additional part, he wouldn’t mind too much. He had managed to find ways to survive the first two parts and wouldn’t be too concerned about this extra part.

But the third part was a bridal chamber, and this left him at a loss for what to do next.

Although it was just a premonition now, if he wanted to continue his exploration into the Divine Ruins, he would need to follow all the actions in the premonition.

Doing the bridal chamber with the rumored offering-god-demon-bnde in the premonition didn’t bother him. After all, it was only a premonition.

But if he was asked to sleep with such a monstrous demon-bride posing as an offering-god in the actual game, he wouldn’t be able to accept that.

“What’s wrong? Did you find something?”

Noticing the change in Su Nan’s expression, the Great Princess asked again. Su Nan paused for a moment, then asked, “Why is there a third part in the ceremony of the Joyful Deity Temple?”

“A third part? How do you know there’s a third part?” Great Princess was startled.

She couldn’t understand how Su Nan, who hadn’t moved at all, had suddenly come to know that there was a third part of the ceremony?

The Great Princess thought for a moment and said, “The Divine Ruins have been in existence for God knows how long. Plenty of people have entered the Joyful Deity Temple. Many people have experienced the first part of the ceremony, many of whom have also acted as the groom but often, after going through the first part, most people are drained of their Qi Luck and died.

“Even if they have a lot of Qi Luck and don’t get drained, they often die due to massive loss of lifespan, leading to loss of bloodline control. Hardly anyone can make it through the first part.”

“Those who can experience the second part are usually the guests. At this point, when the bride and groom lose control, the ceremony wouldn’t stop, possibly only the guests might survive this step.”

Pausing for a moment, the Great Princess continued, “Legend says the ceremony does indeed have three parts. Some ancient books have recorded that only the bride and groom would experience the third part.” “However, in reality, no one has ever heard of anyone experiencing the third part because it is terrifying, a sure death. Once it begins, no one can survive!”

A sure death? Su Nan’s heart sunk.

He had a deep experience of the horror of the first two parts and dared not to think about how dangerous the so-called sure-death third part could be. However, when he thought about the content of the third part, he sighed in relief.

Being in the bridal chamber with a suspected offering god demon that surpassed the king-level, how was this different from seeking death? At this point, the Great Princess seemed to remember something, “According to the ancient books, the original purpose of the ceremony in the Joyful Deity Temple was to bestow a blessing, a joyful blessing for newlywed couples. But I don’t know what happened that turned this blessing into dangerous sorcery. Blessing? Su Nan didn’t doubt this was possible.

It could be that the Joyful Deity blessed countless newlyweds every day when he was still alive. However, everything turned around after the Joyful Deity s death.

“There’s no way around it. Even if it really means going into the bridal chamber with the offering god demon, I can only plow ahead now. After all, it’s my avatar, not me, that will be in the bridal chamber.”

“Moreover, since the bridal chamber is considered as a sure-death situation, it can’t just simply be about carnal relations.”

Pondering this, Su Nan quickly made up his mind.

“Continue the premonition!”

[The third part of the ceremony begins. Led by two male children, made from red paper, you and the bride are walking towards the Inner Hall.] [After a while, the two children leave you in a carefully arranged bridal chamber and you and the bride remain alone in the room.]

[Knowing that something extremely dangerous would likely happen next, you’re on full alert, ready to respond at any time.]

[However, the bride, who was sitting by the bed, seemed to be waiting for you to lift her veil. She didn’t make any move, which relaxed you a bit.]

[You did not dare to make any move, just staring intensely at the bride.]

[One minute later, nothing unusual happens.]

[Two minutes later, you keep staring at the bride.]

[Three minutes later, the bride who was quiet all this while suddenly speaks up, asking why you haven’t lifted her veil.]

[Without waiting for any response from you, in the next moment, your Divine Soul embodied in the avatar is attacked, and loses consciousness instantly.] [The sixth prediction has been terminated. Would you like to proceed with the next one?]
