Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 210 Free Will, the Origins of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager

"Mr. Zhong, this is my private matter, please excuse us for a moment." Chu Danqing said, giving Da Bao a wink, signaling him to take Zhong Ting away from us.

This was done to avoid the other party being forced to repatriate for leaking information about the amusement park.

Although the current penalty for leaking information is more severe than before, it's only -1 point to all attributes, which is a huge bargain compared to losing your life.

Zhong Ting sensed the oppressive aura emanating from Da Bao, so he nodded and moved aside to avoid suspicion.

After Zhong Ting left, the apostle was dragged over by Yue Lan Wu Ying.

He was punched twice more during the incident, and the deformities on his body gradually faded due to the severe injuries he sustained.

"Dude, I did get this by taking advantage of you, but you're really—" Chu Danqing paused halfway through his sentence, then suddenly continued, "Wait, who are you? What grudge do we have?"

Chu Danqing initially thought that the apostle who attacked him was the same apostle he had taken advantage of by obtaining the Spirit Control Foundation.

After all, the other party claimed that they had locked onto him with props, so it was reasonable for them to suddenly attack.

But when the other person turned back, it turned out to be someone else entirely.

"It seems you've offended quite a few people." The apostle chuckled, then said, "Want to know why I'm here to kill you?"

“Let’s sign a notarized document. I’ll tell you everything, and then you can let me leave.”

"Forget it, it'll be easier to just kill you." Chu Danqing naturally couldn't agree to that.

He could tell from the other person's tone that the other person was not greedy for money, but had planned this all along.

After saying this, Yue Lan Wu Ying was about to make her move.

“Wait, I am a person of free will, and I bear the mark of revenge.” The other party immediately said, “Killing me will bring retribution.”

Chu Danqing sneered, "So that's how it is. I must have offended some high-ranking apostle of free will."

The mark of revenge is not a nuclear weapon. Chu Danqing does not want to offend powerful forces, but if he is timid and hesitant because of this, wouldn't that be ridiculous?
“That’s right.” The apostle breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his intimidation had worked, and then said, “You killed a follower who was being cultivated by one of our faction’s management.”

"He paid a heavy price to get the park to approve the project and bring this follower seed from the dangerous Western fantasy world to a stable low-level martial arts world to develop."

"I was about to break through to the third tier and reap the rewards, but you killed me."

"This has rendered everything he did useless, and this is definitely not over."

"But don't worry, brother. If you don't kill me, I will definitely not oppose you in this trial. We can make that a fact."

“His props can only be used once, and the park will not allow him to repeatedly suppress a low-ranking apostle and engage in vicious competition.”

"If he insists on going his own way, not only will he be punished by Paradise, but his free will will also be affected."

"But if you kill me, it will be a different story. The mark of vengeance will last for at least three trials."

"If you kill the pursuer again, the duration will be refreshed once more."

"A constant stream of trouble, like dog shit, nobody wants to get involved with it." Apostle Chen Mingli said, indicating that he didn't want to be killed.

Chu Danqing remained silent. It wasn't because he was conflicted about not killing her, but because he hadn't expected that the Holy Mother Empress Dowager would actually be a figure deliberately planted in the previous trial world by the Dimensional Apostle.

No wonder the art style is so out of place. Now it seems that the Tiftin gene seed, the lustful bloodline, the bloodline wizard profession, and the Nine Hells meditation method that I have are not original.

Rather, it belongs to the management within the free will force.

And this behavior doesn't seem to be very supported by the park, even though he paid a high price for it.

It's not impossible, after all, the park doesn't encourage you to make low-level profits.

If you can mow down enemies of the same level with unparalleled skill, as long as it's legal, even the most outrageous amusement parks can be ignored, because it's your own ability.

Profiting from lower ranks may result in negligible damage to one's own interests, but it will affect the growth of lower-ranking apostles.

The foundation of Paradise is the Apostles; how could they possibly allow you to influence them?

"How do you think your free will's vengeful mark compares to the Dragon Tiger Alliance and the Heavenly Strategy Mansion?" Chu Danqing said with a smile.

This caused the apostle's pupils to shrink; he knew perfectly well what Chu Danqing meant by those words.

It's simply that the other side killed people from both of these factions.

Their free will really can't be used against these two forces.

"I'm willing to pay the ransom, but we need to have it notarized." Having said that, he knew that his idea of ​​using the brand of revenge to intimidate had failed.

The mark of vengeance isn't invincible; many factions have been wiped out by powerful figures because of it.

Higher-level players cannot interfere with lower-level players. Once a powerful player develops, they can easily crush their opponents. Forget about revenge; they might even lose their own life.

The atmosphere in the park isn't particularly cruel, but with such a large population, opportunities abound, and every now and then a remarkable person will pop out from some unknown corner.

Moreover, there are many lone wolves like Chu Danqing, who are powerful but not famous, and they focus on improving themselves.

By the time you want to make friends with them, they may have already risen in rank and you won't be able to find them anymore.

"Oh." Chu Danqing responded calmly, and then Yue Lanwuying broke the apostle's limbs.

But that wasn't the end of it; it also damaged the other person's vocal cords.

The other party immediately understood what Chu Danqing was trying to do.

The mark of vengeance only works on apostles, but has no effect on natives.

There are indeed vengeful marks that can be directly traced back to causality, but these are not something their free will can possess. Even if their free will did have them, it wouldn't be their turn to use them.

His vocal cords were destroyed to prevent him from leaking information about the amusement park and being forced to return.

As for transmitting through mental means? He'd have to know how to do that first.

It's not enough to just come up with a solution on a whim; there must be the conditions for its implementation.

Chu Danqing asked Da Bao to bring Zhong Ting back and told him his intentions.

After listening, Zhong Ting frowned deeply: "Brother Chu, are you trying to get me to offer a pledge of loyalty?"

"No, it's just that his background is unusual." Chu Danqing really didn't have that thought, and then said, "You make the move, and I'll give you the centipede pearl directly."

Having said that, Zhong Ting knew he had no choice, so he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his throat.

The apostle died with his eyes filled with resentment.

“It seems this person has a very powerful background, so powerful that even Brother Chu isn’t afraid I’ll escape,” Zhong Ting said, taking the centipede bead from Chu Danqing.

He may not know the situation, but he is not incapable of analyzing the current situation.

“Theoretically speaking, you’re not wrong,” Chu Danqing said vaguely.

Zhongting wasn't wrong; the amusement park does indeed have a significant history.

On the other side, Yue Lan Wu Ying had already dug a pit and casually threw the apostle, whose code name she didn't even know, into the pit to fill it up.

Chu Danqing was wondering if the management of this "Free Will" organization had sent just one person over.

This possibility is not small. The Paradise has always been very strict about high-level interference in low-level affairs and the suppression of individuals by powerful forces.

Sending three or five people and expending so many resources to hunt down a stranger—it would be better to keep your free will to become stronger.

Especially since this matter involves a feud between Chu Danqing and that manager, not a feud with free will.

This manager has lost his mind, and other managers are constantly trying to stop him to prevent further losses.

Zhong Ting gave Chu Danqing a deep look, suspecting that Chu Danqing was a big shot among some warlords.

Otherwise, why would anyone be chasing him?

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's not delay any longer," Chu Danqing urged.

Killing an apostle was just a minor incident for Chu Danqing; it was nothing serious.

As for the manager who went to retaliate against free will...

If you encounter them, you can take action; if you don't, Chu Danqing would never use his resources to do this.

Wouldn't it be better to use it to become stronger? It's not worth it to do it just to vent your anger.

Zhong Ting nodded in response and then led Chu Danqing to continue walking up the mountain.

As dusk approaches, the temperature begins to drop, and it will be even lower at night.

If you continue in the wild, wild animals and temperature are secondary; instead, all sorts of ferocious creatures will start roaming around.

Daytime is yang, nighttime is yin.

During the day, these ferocious creatures fear the sun, but at night they have no such fear.

Instead, humans will become the prey.

However, this situation only occurs in the Cangmang Ancient Ridge because the place is so eerie; it wouldn't be this terrifying in other places.

The mortality rate was also quite high, after all, it was a time of warlord chaos, with one person attacking another today and another attacking the same person tomorrow, and it was common for a new commander to come every few days.

The two climbed all the way to the top of the mountain and saw the Golden Dragon Temple.

"Are you sure this Jinlong Temple has no monks left?" Chu Danqing asked, looking at the temple.

It is indeed dilapidated, and it would be a hassle to bring in building materials for repairs or to find craftsmen.

It doesn't look abandoned at all; at most, it just doesn't have any worshippers.

“This shouldn’t be the case.” Zhong Ting naturally didn’t believe that his senior uncle was deliberately lying to him.

These are all pieces of information passed down through generations; who knows if future inheritors will go and explore them?

"How much truth do you think your senior uncle's words are?" Chu Danqing asked.

“At least 80%.” Zhong Ting carefully examined the Golden Dragon Temple and then said, “On the contrary, the fact that the Golden Dragon Temple is located in the ancient and desolate mountains suggests that some strange changes may have occurred.”

Chu Danqing also leans more towards Zhong Ting's version of events.

"Let's go in and test the waters," Chu Danqing said directly. "If there are any demons or monsters, let's eliminate them all."

Since we're already here, any anomalies can be dealt with as a reward.

Zhong Ting looked at Chu Danqing with a strange expression, saying, "The ferocious creature in your shadow is also included in this category."

Heading towards the temple, as soon as you step inside, you're hit by a strong smell of cosmetics.

The smell didn't seem like that of a temple; it smelled more like that of a brothel.
