Chapter 56: Chapter56-Good News and Bad News



The second class change stone didn\'t necessarily have to come from the Whispering Forest; hidden dungeons could drop it as well.

Being confined and monitored like prisoners irked Exiled Immortal, as it was a restriction on their personal freedom.

"Enough with the complaints. The elves\' main storyline is crucial. If we don\'t establish a good relationship with them, we might miss out on a lot."

"There\'s still some time before we set out to fight the behemoth. I\'m logging out now, Exiled Immortal. You come with me."

With that, John disconnected, not giving Exiled Immortal a chance to ask questions.

Seeing this, Exiled Immortal had no choice but to log out as well.

The two woke up in the real world almost simultaneously.

John rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Exiled Immortal, are you awake?"

"Yeah, I\'m awake. What\'s so urgent that it has to be dealt with in the real world, John?"

"Don\'t ask too many questions. Just take me to the city center."

"Alright, alright. Let me eat something first."

Exiled Immortal stood up to head toward the food area, but John quickly stopped him.

"Time is precious. You can eat whatever you want when we get back."

Seeing John\'s serious expression, Exiled Immortal became even more puzzled but didn\'t say anything more.

With a thought, a wind rose around them, enveloping them and propelling them skyward!

As Exiled Immortal\'s power continued to grow, his control over his abilities became more proficient.

What used to be a struggle to carry both of them was now much easier.

"Exiled Immortal, have you ever wondered if we really beat this game, could the world return to its original state?"

"...I\'ve never thought about it, John. What do you think?"

"Will those who have died get another chance? I can\'t help but think about it."

"Maybe they will. Is there anything impossible anymore? We\'re flying, aren\'t we? If we can do that, maybe we can reset the world too.

But honestly, I\'m not as noble as you, John. Instead of erasing everything that happened, I\'m glad I got to know you, Big Sister, and Second Sister because of it. Besides... I don\'t have much family."

Exiled Immortal touched his nose, his gaze flickering.

"Alright, we\'re here, John. You go down. I\'ll look around to see if there\'s anything useful."

"Got it. Meet me back here in thirty minutes."

After parting ways with Exiled Immortal, John went straight to the Abyss rift in the city center.

He couldn\'t shake the feeling that the Abyss rift in front of him seemed to be expanding bit by bit.

Of course, it was still far from the abyss of his previous life that penetrated the earth, spewing countless monsters.

"[Deception Apostle], are you home? I have something to ask you."

"John, you visit me quite frequently. As one of the chosen, it\'s not good to interact with me often. What do you need?"

The voice echoed from the Abyss, and when John looked back, [Deception Apostle] had already appeared behind him.

Dressed in a pitch-black suit, the shadow of his gentleman\'s hat obscured his face, hiding his expression.

"I need a favor. Can you retrieve a soul from the Abyss for me?"

[Deception Apostle]: "?"

"John, are you joking with me?"

"I\'m not joking. I\'m serious."

"Then you\'re really joking! Retrieve a soul? Do you think the Abyss is some kind of detention center?

It\'s a place where the dead fall, an eternal prison of unrest! Who do you think I am? I\'m just an [Apostle] who can move freely between the two realms.

Asking me to bring someone back—isn\'t that a dream?"

"...So can you do it or not?"

"...I can."

"Then why all the fuss?"

"Damn it! I\'m trying to make you understand that this is a very troublesome task, not something easily done! If it weren\'t for my master telling me to..."

Before finishing his sentence, [Deception Apostle] abruptly stopped, as if realizing something.

"Anyway, leave it to me. I\'ll bring the person to you in two days. By the way, what\'s this person\'s name?"

"He died in the game world. His player ID is Qing."

"Qing... Oh, I remember now. That brute caused quite a lot of trouble for Wrath in the previous life. Wrath was always clamoring to kill him. How did he die so soon?"

"He was betrayed. [Deception Apostle], thank you for this."

"When don\'t you owe me thanks? Oh, since you\'re here, there\'s something I need to tell you."

[Deception Apostle] lowered his voice, whispering so only they could hear: "Things are developing beyond my expectations.

The [Lust Apostle] is about to awaken."

Hearing this, John felt as if he had been struck, his pupils shaking.

"W-what did you say?"

"I\'m not sure why this is happening, but the fact is, he\'s already showing signs of awakening.

He will fully revive in as soon as ten days, or at the latest, two months. Although his power won\'t be fully restored due to the early awakening, it will still be enough to deal with all of you.

You must prepare in advance. When the time comes, I will help you."

"I understand. What do I need to do? How should I fight the [Lust Apostle]?"

"I\'ve given you half of my Authority, so I can\'t use my full power. If I recklessly enter the game world, I might attract the attention of certain beings.

So, I need a vessel to carry my presence."

"That\'s no problem. I\'ll be your vessel when the time comes."

Without a moment\'s hesitation, [Deception Apostle] firmly rejected John\'s offer.

"You are under the close watch of certain beings. Do you think they won\'t notice if something happens to you? It\'s best to find someone insignificant."

"Understood. How should I contact you when the time comes?"

"I will contact you. Now, you should go. Being offline for too long will also raise suspicions."

"And about Qing..."

"I will do my best."

With [Deception Apostle]\'s assurance, John finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Qing could be brought back to life, he would be a powerful ally!

Two years ago, Qing was one of the few who could contend with an [Apostle] and cause them considerable trouble. This time, he would only be stronger!

While John was lost in thought, Exiled Immortal returned, coming up and patting John\'s shoulder.

"John... why are you standing here daydreaming? Be careful not to fall."

"You came back just in time. Let\'s go back."

"Did you get everything done?"

"Yes, it\'s all taken care of. Let\'s hurry back and not keep the others waiting too long."

"No problem."

Exiled Immortal waved his hand, and a green wind emerged from under John\'s feet, gently lifting them both into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they were gone!

Ten minutes later, John and Exiled Immortal logged in simultaneously.

Helena and Lily, who had been waiting anxiously, rushed to greet them. "John, why did it take so long? Did you run into trouble?"

"There was a minor issue along the way, but it\'s all sorted now. Sorry for making you wait. We shouldn\'t delay any longer; it\'s time to set out to defeat the behemoth."

As John spoke, he suddenly turned to Helena and, on a whim, said something seemingly out of the blue.

"Helena, do you think there\'s a chance for dead players to come back to life? If Qing were here, dealing with many dungeons and boss lords would be much easier, wouldn\'t it?"

"Yes, Qing was indeed a very reliable teammate. It\'s such a pity..." Helena\'s expression turned somber at the mention of Qing, her eyes filled with regret.

"Maybe Qing really does have a chance to come back to life?"

"How is that possible? It\'s been so long. In the real world, Qing\'s body has probably decayed or been torn apart by monsters. There\'s no chance."

"One must always hold onto hope, right? I believe that maybe one day, our fallen friends can return to us."
