179: Qualified scapegoat

When Sun Kai regained consciousness, he found himself standing before a massive statue.

The statue exuded an indescribable aura, especially the brave and fearless spirit that permeated from it, deeply shocking Sun Kai.

He carefully surveyed his surroundings, and upon seeing Su Bai, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Su Bai, are you alright?"

"You almost scared me to death just now."

"I thought you were going to die a moment ago."

Looking at Su Bai in front of him, Sun Kai touched his own body, then looked at his chest.

He clearly remembered his chest being ripped open by a terrifying monster, so could everything he just experienced have been an illusion?

"I've been fine the whole time; you were just trapped in an illusion."

"Why are you so foolish? When it's time to run, you should run. Your own life is the most important."

"Remember for next time, saving your own life is paramount."

Su Bai gave him a punch, saying grumpily.

This idiot, he was stunned by what he saw, and there was also a strange, inexplicable feeling of warmth in his heart.

"How was I supposed to know that was an illusion? I just saw you bound by chains on the altar, with countless gods judging you."

"Don't forget the oath we made when we were kids: I'd be the best Knight, and you'd be the strongest Mage. I'd stand in front of you, and together we'd conquer the world."

Upon hearing this, Sun Kai patted his chest, looking resolute.

"Little one, congratulations on successfully completing My trial."

"Now, you can become the Knight God's divine envoy."

Just then, the statue transformed into a god riding a blood-red warhorse, appearing before the two of them.

"You are the Knight God?"

Sun Kai scrutinized the figure before him, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"Indeed, you have completed My trial. From today onwards, you are the inheritor of the Knight spirit, gaining Control over the brave and fearless law."

As His voice fell, terrifying streams of energy directly entered Sun Kai's body.

In his hands appeared a shield, a long spear, and a majestic warhorse.

The equipment on his body also underwent earth-shattering changes.

A bright, shimmering light attached itself to his body, then he donned a blood-red robe, making him look like a majestic general.

"Are they all divine artifacts?"

"And they're divine artifacts in a sealed state?"

"If they were unsealed, that would be incredible."

Seeing the equipment in his hands, Sun Kai's mouth almost watered.

He never expected that he would actually obtain such top-tier equipment, and a complete set of Knight gear at that.

"These are all your rewards!"

"Step onto the Knight's palace, and leave your name upon it. From now on, you are the Knight God's only chosen one."

The armored figure pointed to the distant palace, speaking softly.

"Thank you, Senior."

Hearing this, Sun Kai eagerly walked towards the palace.

"Lord Knight, do you have any equipment suitable for me?"

Su Bai rubbed his hands together, asking with a smile.

"You, no, it's not suitable. I don't have any equipment for you here."

"Besides, you already have the jade pendant given by the Lord God. Do you think you still lack this equipment?"

The Knight God looked at Su Bai in front of him, teasing him with a smile.

"You have the bigger fist, so you are right."

Su Bai smiled and said.

...

...

"Senior, why have you gathered us here?"

A tall, thin man looked at the man beside him, quickly asking.

"Of course, there's something, you fool."

"You immediately record what happened here, then quickly go and report to His Majesty and the others."

Looking at the man in front of him, a man with a square face's expression subtly changed, and he immediately reprimanded him.

"I understand what you mean. You mean to tell the Lord and the others about Luo Jiuzhou single-handedly fighting against the gods, right?"

"Don't worry, I've already organized this information; there will definitely be no problems."

Hearing this, the man patted his chest, quickly saying.

"Luo Jiuzhou?"

"Is that person Luo Jiuzhou?"

Hearing this, the square-faced man was stunned, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

"Who else could it be but Luo Jiuzhou? Besides him, that demigod with the guts to confront a god, the entire Meteor Empire probably only has the Landlord."

Looking at his superior in front of him, the man nodded, saying seriously.

"Good, yes, it's Luo Jiuzhou. Then go report it quickly."

At this, the man immediately spoke.

"They seem to have sealed off this news."

"Currently, this news can't be sent back. It seems the Meteor Empire's people have already realized there's an insider."

"If you ask me, we should be more vigilant in our actions and try not to let others notice."

The man looked at the tent not far away, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I have it under Control."

"But this matter is of great importance, and we must notify them as soon as possible."

Looking at the man in front of him, the square-faced strongman took a deep breath, a serious expression in his eyes.

...

...

When Sun Kai came out, his face was full of smiles.

"It looks like the mission was completed quite perfectly, huh?"

Su Bai looked at Sun Kai, teasing him.

"Of course."

"I'm telling you, now I'm a legitimate Knight God's divine envoy, and I can finally help you."

"I'm at Eight Revolutions now."

"It won't be long before I can reach Nine Revolutions."

The young man had a hint of arrogance on his face, speaking softly.

"Alright, alright, you're the best."

"Let's go quickly. We still have to defeat a Boss early tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Su Bai looked at Sun Kai beside him, speaking softly.

"Go."

The two then nodded and turned to walk outside.

After leaving the Vortex Secret Realm, the two returned to the team.

Su Bai remained very low-key, specifically having Sun Kai find someone to test the waters.

Sure enough, the Forgetting Law had taken effect again. These guys had completely forgotten him, only remembering that the one who angrily confronted the gods was Luo Jiuzhou.

"Why?"

"I really can't figure it out, why is this?"

Looking at Su Bai in front of him, Sun Kai was a bit confused, a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.

"This is My secret. Remember not to reveal My whereabouts. Go and be with your Ye Ling'er; I'm going to find Mu Yan."

Su Bai patted Sun Kai's shoulder and turned to walk towards his own tent.
