287: I was just acting

“The last time the four of us gathered was five hundred years ago.”

East Absolute Pill Immortal Cultivators Li Ping turned his head to look at West Absolute Battle Emperor Wang Wu and North Desolate Beast God Jialuo Tian.

Seeing that they were still the same as they were five hundred years ago, completely unchanged, a sense of melancholy couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

Time really couldn't stand the consumption.

The battle side-by-side five hundred years ago was still vivid in his mind, as if it were yesterday.

“Heh.”

Jialuo Tian snorted through his nostrils, sneering, “Stop sighing about time, old man, let's see how our Devil Emperor plans to end things.”

“He doesn't have much time left.”

The sun on the horizon was about to set.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the myriad Immortal Cultivators around the giant mountain, as if clothing them in unified golden robes.

Under the gaze of the Immortal Cultivators.

Xie Jiu Tian laughed heartily, raised his hand and casually swung it in the air, and the divine sword “Absolute Life” appeared in his hand. The clean sword body reflected the figures of the myriad Immortal Cultivators. He gripped the pale golden hilt, shook his head, and chuckled lightly while looking up at the sky.

【Trigger Life Choice!】

【This is the moment of your life's curtain call. Myriad Immortal Cultivators have come to see you off on your final journey.】

【You are filled with emotion and decide to——】

【A: Perform your famous sword dance “Carefree Drunkenness” as your curtain call.】

【B: Perform sword swallowing on the spot to entertain everyone.】

【C: Kneel and kowtow towards the north, claiming you dare not pretend anymore, and crying for the Empress's forgiveness.】

【D: Randomly kill a group of people to have companions on the road to the Underworld.】

【Hint: Detected that the selected target's realm is too high (more than thirty great realms above your own), therefore, in this event, the obtained Collapse Value will be multiplied by ten!】

C!

After quickly making the choice, Lin Sheng's eyes widened when he saw the hint that popped up afterwards.

“Hiss—”

“Ten times!?”

“Does the system have such a setting? Is it new?”

Lin Sheng didn't know if this setting was new or if it had been there all along but just hadn't been triggered.

But in any case.

Such opportunities were not many!

Perhaps with good luck, after this event ended, he could obtain tens of thousands of Collapse Value!

‘If possible, try to prolong this event and squeeze out more Collapse Value!’

Lin Sheng didn't know how long it had been since he was this excited!

Looking at Xie Jiu Tian in the light screen in front of him, he rubbed his hands together, wishing he could speed up the event!

In the scene.

Xie Jiu Tian's movement, which was about to swing his sword and dance, suddenly froze.

He turned around, looked towards the north, and then heavily knelt down with a thump!

“Myriad Immortal Empress! I was wrong!”

“I won't dare to act arrogant anymore!”

The Southern Absolute Demon Emperor's forehead heavily knocked against the bluestone, making a muffled sound: “Please, Empress, in your magnanimity, help me remove the Fallen Immortal Curse!”

“Please! Please!!”

The myriad Immortal Cultivators in the sky instantly froze.

“I, I, I... Did I see that right?”

“Southern Absolute Demon Emperor... He knelt down?”

“This... This must be an illusion?”

“What!!? This, this.....!”

West Absolute Battle Emperor Wang Wu's pupils constricted in shock: “Where is your backbone?!”

“Where is your unyielding spirit!”

He felt extremely angry, and even had a feeling of being deceived!

North Desolate Beast God Jialuo Tian suddenly burst into laughter: “Hahahaha! So the so-called arrogance is kneeling and begging for mercy five hundred years later?!”

【Collapse Value +800! (Ten times)】

In the void.

The chess piece held by the golden-robed woman's fingertips suddenly turned into dust, and the hand that was about to tear open the void slowly retracted.

“Master?” The maid beside her looked at the Empress's suddenly frozen side profile.

“No need to go.”

Myriad Immortal Empress closed her eyes and turned around, her skirt dragging a bone-chilling frost: “This Empress... misjudged.”

At this moment on the mountain peak.

Xie Jiu Tian was still kowtowing frantically, each knock making the mountain tremble: “Empress! I must have been crazy to think that backbone was more important than life!”

“Just treat me like a fart and let me go!”

East Absolute Pill Immortal Cultivators Li Ping tremblingly took out a medicine bottle: “Brother Jitian... Are you having delusions? This old man has a Heart Purifying Pill...”

“Get lost! Don't delay me showing my loyalty!”

Xie Jiu Tian opened his arms towards the north: “Smell! I'm full of the smell of loyalty!”

【Collapse Value +500! (Ten times)】

“Is this the Southern Absolute Demon Emperor that everyone praises?”

“Laughing to death, I actually admired such a person before? Haha...”

“Southern Absolute Demon Emperor isn't such a person, is he? Could he have been possessed?”

“A ninety-fifth realm Devil Emperor, one of the dignified Four Absolutes, being possessed? What are you saying?”

“Admit it! He was always such a soft-boned person!”

The myriad Immortal Cultivators around were extremely disappointed.

Some even clenched their fists, wishing they could go forward and beat up this hypocritical guy who had wasted their emotions!

Wang Wu sneered and took out a recording stone: “Wang Qin, take a good look at the man you are infatuated with! Heh.”

【Xie Jiu Tian's behavior has caused extreme disappointment among the Immortal Cultivators. Facing this situation, you decide to——】

【A: Continue kowtowing until Myriad Immortal Empress appears.】

【B: Suddenly stand up and declare that you were just under an evil spell and have now recovered.】

【C: Cry bitterly and admit that you are a coward, begging for everyone's forgiveness.】

【D: Suddenly laugh and say that you were acting and testing everyone's reaction.】

D!

In the scene.

Xie Jiu Tian suddenly stopped kowtowing, slowly stood up, and laughed up at the sky.

“Hahahahaha!”

His laughter carried a hint of madness. His gaze swept over the surrounding Immortal Cultivators, and a strange arc curved at the corner of his mouth.

“You fools, do you really think I would kneel and beg for mercy?”

Xie Jiu Tian flicked his sleeves, a look of disdain on his face. “What kind of person is I, Xie Jiu Tian? How could I bow my head to a woman?”

“That was just an act just now. I didn't expect you to actually believe it. It's utterly ridiculous!”

As soon as the words fell.

The entire place instantly fell into a dead silence.

“Acting?”

Li Ping's eyes widened: “You... You were acting just now?”

West Absolute Battle Emperor Wang Wu's face was ashen.

North Desolate Beast God Jialuo Tian sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: “Southern Absolute Demon Emperor, you sure know how to play. You've been playing us all along!”

【Collapse Value +500! (Ten times)】

In the void.

Myriad Immortal Empress's footsteps paused slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

“Master, he... he actually dared to tease you like this!” The maid beside her turned pale with anger.

Myriad Immortal Empress smiled coldly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain: “Just a clown. This Empress wants to see what other tricks he can pull.”

On the mountain peak.

Xie Jiu Tian continued to laugh, as if to vent all the humiliation he had just suffered.

“You so-called Immortal Cultivators are nothing more than this!”

He pointed at the surrounding Immortal Cultivators, his tone full of mockery, “Just a simple game made you so Gaffe. It's truly disappointing!”

“Southern Absolute Demon Emperor, you've gone too far!”
