243: Chapter 243 What kind of divine drama requires my, Lu Chen's, preparation to pass?

After the battle with Shen Xiyun, Lu Chen's name swept through the entire New God Society like a storm.

The terrifying scene of those nine beast pets appearing out of thin air and Forbidden Spells being cast like rain was deeply imprinted in the depths of every spectator's Soul.

No one looked down on him because of his youth anymore; in its place was a sense of awe.

Being able to go head-to-head against Elder Shen Xiyun, who used her Innate Divine Favor Talent and exhausted all her means, without being defeated—his strength had been universally recognized by all the experts in this pure land.

After the battle!

Shen Xiyun came to the courtyard where Lu Xiaoyun lived once again.

Her expression was even more solemn than before.

"Lu Chen!"

"Now, I formally invite you to accompany me to that Hell-difficulty Gods Game."

She spread her slender white palm, and the space in her palm twisted slightly. A black token, exuding the aura of ancient gods and inscribed with countless twisting and writhing runes, slowly emerged.

The moment the token appeared, the surrounding light seemed to be completely absorbed, and faint, heart-palpitating wails and whispers echoed in the Void Realm.

"This is the [Gods Game Invitation]. Only by possessing this can one enter the gods' territory without being attacked by the vast and powerful army of Invading Monster god-servant BOSSes under the gods."

Lu Chen's expression was calm as he reached out to take the token; it was icy cold to the touch.

He casually toyed with this token, which was enough to make even a Tier 9 Legend treat it with extreme caution, as if he were playing with an ordinary object, and asked, "What is the reward for clearing it?"

Shen Xiyun took a deep breath, hot light bursting in her eyes, "If we can clear it, we can obtain a set of exclusive Legendary equipment that perfectly fits our own class, and... choose an SSS-rank Forbidden Spell skill book for our exclusive class!"

Her voice trembled slightly, "I need a spatial Forbidden Spell. This is crucial to me; it is my greatest reliance on whether I can successfully break through to Tier 10 in the future, and even challenge the ethereal godhood!"

In her view, this combination of rewards was enough to drive any Tier 9 Legend on Blue Star crazy, worth betting one's life for.

She believed that no class-changer could refuse such a temptation.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Chen gave a disinterested "Oh."

Just one set of Legendary equipment?

I've already changed into several sets; the stats are just so-so.

As for the Forbidden Spell...

I already have Forbidden Spells for all classes.

And the System mall allows me to pick whatever I want, one gold coin each; it couldn't be cheaper.

It's not as practical as gold coins!

"Big Boss Shen, as you saw in the battle just now, my attributes exceed a Peak Tier 8 World Lord BOSS. That is because I already have a set of Legendary equipment and have mastered Forbidden Spells of all classes. This reward really has no temptation for me."

Shen Xiyun was speechless for a moment, the expression on her beautiful face instantly freezing.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyun, who had been quietly listening on the side, couldn't help but step forward. She gently tugged on her brother's sleeve, tilted her little face up, and her clear, big eyes were full of pleading: "Brother, Teacher has been really good to me. She has taught me carefully and taken care of me meticulously these past three years... Just help her! Please?"

Looking at his younger sister's earnest eyes, Lu Chen's face was full of smiles, and his "sister-doting maniac" attribute was instantly maxed out.

He dotingly rubbed Xiao Yun's silky hair, his smile as warm as the spring sun: "Alright, alright, alright. Since our family's Xiao Yun has spoken, how could Brother not agree? Besides, Big Boss Shen has helped our family before, and I must repay this favor."

He turned to look at Shen Xiyun, his tone casual but carrying absolute confidence: "Fine! This Hell-difficulty Gods Game, I'll clear it for you. Let's head out now!"

Shen Xiyun's beautiful eyes widened, almost thinking she had misheard: "Now? Lu Chen, you... do you know what kind of place that is? A Hell-difficulty Gods Game! How can you treat it so like a child's game..."

Shen Xiyun took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, her tone incomparably serious and grave: "Lu Chen, you might... not fully understand the difficulty of this Gods Game. It is fixed at Hell-difficulty and is extremely dangerous. I have entered it twice, and both times it was a narrow escape from death. If it weren't for my teacher's substitute-death secret technique, I would have already perished inside."

"According to my estimation, even if the two of us join forces, are fully prepared, and count in all our life-saving trump cards, the probability of clearing it... is at most only fifty percent!"

"This is already an extremely optimistic estimate. We need time to formulate a detailed strategy, and you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of this Gods Game... We cannot be too hasty. I think it would be safer to wait until Xiao Yun's class advancement ceremony is completed before we go to clear it."

In her view, a fifty percent probability was the highest evaluation she could give, exhausting her imagination, and it was worth betting everything to fight for that slim hope.

But Lu Chen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and an invisible Qi naturally radiated outward.

"To be honest, Big Boss Shen, in my eyes, this so-called Gods Game is just a slightly more troublesome dungeon."

"There is no need to wait until after Xiao Yun's class advancement. There's no time like the present. Listen to me, let's head out now!"

"Furthermore, what kind of Gods Game requires me, Lu Chen, to prepare in order to clear? With me here, I guarantee a clear!"

Lu Chen looked at his younger sister, whose eyes were shining, and his tone became gentle: "Besides, it won't take long. It's just a speedrun; it absolutely won't delay our family's Xiao Yun's class advancement ceremony in half a month. By then, I still need to reserve some time to prepare a class advancement gift for Xiao Yun."

His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, exploding in the ears of Shen Xiyun and all the big shots of the New God Society!

"Gasp!" The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their jaws almost hitting their feet, looking in disbelief at the young man standing with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering slightly.

Hell... Hell-difficulty Gods Game? Guaranteed clear? And it won't delay Lu Xiaoyun's class advancement time?

What kind of terrifying, what kind of outrageous confidence and combat power must one have to be able to say such earth-shattering words so casually!

Shen Xiyun stared blankly at Lu Chen.

He stood there, his figure not particularly imposing, yet he gave her an unprecedented sense of peace of mind.

In his calm eyes, there was not a trace of arrogance or vanity, proving that what he said was not the rash words of youth; he truly had the confidence to back it up.

An absurd, yet one that made her heart beat wildly and uncontrollably sprouted a huge hope, a thought like a seedling breaking through the soil, stubbornly emerged—

Perhaps... to him, the Hell-difficulty Gods Game that made even Tier 9 Legends pale and fall like rain, really... was nothing?

Lu Chen said no more and took his sister's hand: "Xiao Yun, you stay here and prepare for your class advancement. Brother will be back very soon."

"Okay! I believe in Brother. You will definitely be able to help Teacher successfully clear the Gods Game and return."

Lu Xiaoyun knew that her brother was the most amazing, and he never lied to her.

"Lead the way! Big Boss Shen!" Lu Chen chuckled.
