Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 550 - 505: The True Mastermind

"I will hand over this host body and return it, what about you, what are your plans next?" Mo Chuan finally overcame his initial excitement and asked Wu Hen.

It seemed that she wanted to accompany Wu Hen on the journey. The transferring road was long and arduous, akin to a pilgrimage, with encounters of all sorts of otherworldly demons and spirits along the way, and one must cleverly conceal oneself to break through various different Laws.

Thus, transferring has always been the greatest contribution to the Nuwa God End, easily garnering blessings.

Encountering fellow kin also made the ordeal significantly less challenging.

"I still have other matters to attend to. But since you have stayed beside this Black Sky Lord for such a long time, have you ever heard who he serves, or for whom he is working?" Wu Hen inquired.

With the death of the Black Sky Lord, the ladder to a higher level of life was broken, and the clues to Cangling were also severed.

Moreover, it's evident that the Black Sky Lord was an imitator, a pseudo-god of this land; the nearly perfect Life Pearl was not his creation, he was just one of the main creators.

Mo Chuan thought seriously.

After a long while, Mo Chuan spoke with a bitter face, "No, besides those nobles coming here for indulgence, Ge Yuan is essentially the Emperor of this Wasteland. I have never seen him serve anyone, nor have I heard him bowing to a higher existence."

Wu Hen was somewhat surprised, originally wanting to inquire further, but felt that Mo Chuan had no reason to deceive him.

Had his own clues been severed again?

Were there really no masterminds above the Black Sky Lord?

With this doubt, Wu Hen and Mo Chuan left the mysterious study.

...

The war between the Black Angel Army and the Mutant Royal Species is still unresolved and might never end.

After the death of Ge Yuan, the entire Black Angel Army scattered like birds freed from a cage flying into the Wasteland Forest, disappearing without a trace.

And those Mutant Royal Species began sniffing their scent, chasing and hunting them like a perpetual struggle between hellish demons and heavenly angels, with neither side ever truly perishing.

Fortunately, this struggle entirely annihilated the Holy Hall behind Snow Mountain, dissipating the clouds looming over the entire Wasteland.

Dai Jing's subversion was successful.

He destroyed the barriers erected on Snow Mountain, allowing those who suffered in the Wasteland to cross the mountains to the other side of the barrier, and built city after city for them...

She became a New God of this land.

Those Illusion Form Warriors also fulfilled their dreams of becoming heroes.

Even though the entire Wasteland is still overrun with mutated creatures, with different powerful species sweeping over the people like unpredictable disasters, at least there is a peaceful haven behind the Snow Mountain barrier, a place that could house millions. In the past, this haven was occupied by mere hundreds of thousands of privileged individuals from the Black Sky Lord and the Nobles, while many Gold Seekers and adventurers struggling in the Wasteland didn't even know such a treasure existed behind the Snow Mountains...

The Wasteland now has a sacred snow wall separating the living from the Alien Species, and a new order is gradually being established.

...

Wu Hen was greatly puzzled.

When he and Mo Chuan left the mysterious study, the battle between the Angels and Hell had already been concluded.

The entire Black Guard City had transformed; new buildings sprouting in beautifully ordered layers upon the Snow Mountain rock formations, and bustling street blocks appearing before his eyes.

For a moment, Wu Hen thought he had traveled through time.

But after carefully observing the surroundings, Wu Hen was sure it was the original place.

"It seems like we slept for a long time in that study," Mo Chuan realized something, looking at the unbelievable changes ahead.

"It shouldn't be several years, maybe a few decades? In the Wasteland, once an oasis is discovered, a city can be built in just half a month," Wu Hen remarked.

The two walked through the thoroughly renovated Citadel, as if passing through a time tunnel.

Wu Hen used his Listening Sense, quickly hearing the voices of Guo Hong and Lu Xian.

Following the voices, he found Guo Hong and Lu Xian in a brand new community, where many of their previous gold-seeking team's relatives lived, finally settling those who had lost their family pillars.

"Lord Wu Tian!" Guo Hong saw Wu Hen, his face revealing joy.

"How did this place change in the blink of an eye?" Wu Hen asked.

"Dai Jing said you were wrapped in a Life Cocoon, evolving towards a Super Tenth Rank Life, and told us not to disturb you. I did not expect that you would stay inside for two months. Now, Snow Mountain Guard City has been opened to all the citizens of the Wasteland, and this area behind the Snow Mountain barrier has become the new world of our Wasteland," Guo Hong explained.

"I slept for two months?" Wu Hen was also greatly surprised.

From what I felt, it seemed like I had only slept for a few hours, but in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. No wonder the intense war outside had disappeared without a trace.

"Taiya is also rebuilding the Lan Guang Temple. She will become the temple's matron here, and the future of this Snow Mountain new world will be prosperous... People with abilities can cross the Snow Mountain barrier to explore the wastelands for resources, while the weaker ones can stay behind the barrier to build new world cities and develop a healthy living environment." Guo Hong's face was filled with joy.

It was evident that he really liked the current situation.

In the past, every city in the wasteland was like a small oasis in the desert, each person hungry and thirsty, traveling through the harsh desert, all longing for a place to settle.

Unfortunately, all the oases cities on the wasteland were controlled by specific individuals. No matter their level, everyone had to sell their lives for these people... Only now did they realize that it wasn't that there was no soil for people to settle in the wasteland, but that the soil was hidden by those groups.

"It seems Dai Jing has achieved her ideals," said Wu Hen.

"Yes... And what about you? Have you found what you were looking for?" Guo Hong asked.

Wu Hen shook his head and said to Guo Hong, "My trail ends at the Black Sky Lord."

Guo Hong frowned upon hearing this, even though he didn't know what exactly Wu Hen was looking for, it must be related to the upper echelons of the entire wasteland.

"It doesn't matter, what I'm looking for is very concealed anyway. I'll take my time, there will be clues," said Wu Hen.

"Lord Wu Tian, the way you speak, are you planning to leave here?" Guo Hong sensed the implication in Wu Hen's words and couldn't help but feel a bit down, "Although our abilities have been uplifted by you, we are willing to do anything for you. If you want to continue searching, we will follow you in this wasteland, there must be something we've missed, or maybe we'll go back to the Blood Lake Base, perhaps there are other clues there."

Wu Hen still shook his head and patted Guo Hong on the shoulder: "No need, you, Lu Xian, Taiya, and Fei Yi all belong here, following me to other distant otherworldly locations is not realistic. I am honored that you all have accompanied me on this journey."

Without saying goodbye to each one, Wu Hen just told Guo Hong, then planned to leave the place.

The current appearance of this place was somewhat expected, especially after his encounter with Dai Jing, Wu Hen had guessed that she intended to do this.

...

Before leaving, Wu Hen stood on the high platform of the Citadel.

Footsteps came from behind him, and without turning around, Wu Hen knew it was Dai Jing.

Dai Jing also moved up beside Wu Hen, her gaze overlooking the newly standing districts of New City, greedily breathing in the clean and pure air from behind Snow Mountain.

"Are you satisfied with everything here?" Dai Jing asked.

"Why wouldn't I be? I was just passing by and got involved in your struggle. I guess whether I took action or not, the result would've been what I see now," Wu Hen replied calmly.

"Who knows, maybe you are Da Xuan's Day Patrol Deity," Dai Jing said with a smile.

"I'm not, I purely passed by, then sought some things I wanted to know," said Wu Hen.

"Did you find the answers you wanted to know?" Dai Jing asked.

"There wasn't initially, but as I pondered more, I felt that the clues hadn't actually broken off; it's just that from the beginning I fell into a misunderstanding," Wu Hen suddenly laughed, his gaze fixed on Dai Jing, the new god of the new world.

Dai Jing had undoubtedly transformed.

There were massive amounts of Spiritual Factors in the otherworld, and they would choose the good as hosts.

Dai Jing exuded a sense of Divinity, and even felt that above the sky dome of this wasteland, there was a star belonging to her.

She had completed her mission, and this mission had also allowed her to transform and ascend.

"What misunderstanding?" Dai Jing asked puzzled.

"I was always looking for the Law maker of this wasteland. I thought that there must be a more powerful existence behind the Black Sky Lord, like a god's hand meddling with the wasteland's creatures… But this was just my preconception. Observing the distorted survival modes of people on this land, I preconceivedly thought that above the wasteland's sky dome was a black-hearted cruel god dispatching the Black Sky Lord to wreak havoc here," Wu Hen's gaze suddenly intensified as he looked at Dai Jing, radiating with a faint divine light, then confidently and questioningly said,

"The existence at a higher level than the Black Sky Lord is not necessarily a bigger villain behind the scenes, but could also be a wise, mysteriously powerful, and resolute subverter. You subverted the brutal Pseudo-Gods of this land, isn't this further proof that you are the true god of this wasteland!"

Dai Jing felt the intensity of Wu Hen's gaze.

She involuntarily took a step back.

Suddenly, Dai Jing covered her mouth and laughed, the laugh of a fox whose identity had been discovered, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Her laughter echoed melodiously in the mountains, like ancient temple chimes blowing in the wind, causing rings of chimes, lingering for a long time and exceedingly comforting to the ears.

Wu Hen stood beside her, watching her laugh endlessly.

"Okay... okay... I admit..." her speech still mixed with giggly breaths, "I admit you're not as naïve as a new recruit, not as easily deceived as imagined."

"Did I say it right?" Wu Hen became calm again.

"This place was in such a mess because of these idiots; Lord Cangling wanted me to clean up, and I did just that," Dai Jing also calmed down, lightly said.
