Chapter 179: The Resurrection Of Cangxu (2 In 1)

Chapter 179: The Resurrection Of Cangxu (2 In 1)

Lu Wu was cultivating on the sofa when suddenly, he received a call from Wu Guoyi.

Wu Guoyi had called to inform him that they could now go online in Battle Online’s foreign server at any time.

Currently, he planned to open the European server and wait for the numbers of players to increase until it was stable. Then, he would depend on the influence of the European server and local server to successively initiate an Asian server, American server, and more. Thus, Wu Guoyi wanted to know if Lu Wu had arranged everything properly.

The tentative plan for the seven large servers was, of course, Lu Wu’s idea.

He had planned to set all the servers around the world to the seven large servers, which were the local server, the European server, the Asian server, the American server (North America), the Australian server (Oceania), the African server, and Brazilian server (South America), respectively. However, he never thought that Wu Guoyi would finish deploying all of them so quickly.

Lu Wu expressed his agreement immediately, but he hoped that Wu Guoyi would start to promote the game a little first. As for the European server, he would be done with it within ten days.

As a player of Battle Online, Wu Guoyi was naturally curious and asked Lu Wu if the players from the European server would join the local one.

Lu Wu had nothing to hide, so he truthfully told Wu Guoyi that the players from the new European server would be in the same position as the players from their local server. However, it would not be in Beiqi, but in Cangxu instead, at the north of Beiqi after passing through the North Rocks.

After he found out that it was set in a large map other than Beiqi, Wu Guoyi curiously asked other questions about the new server. After Wu Guoyi had understood the situation, he followed Lu Wu’s instructions to convene a deployment meeting and prepare to promote Battle Online’s new European server.

Since the European server was about to open, naturally Lu Wu could not hold onto his soul coins anymore. He immediately called Bei Li, who was eating, to discuss the players’ deployment plan for Cangxu and the problem with Cangxu’s resurrection.

Now that Lu Wu’s soul coins amounted to more than twenty million, resurrecting Cangxu would not be a problem in the slightest. Currently, the biggest issue was how to create the scenario for the players’ entrance into the Land of Cangxu.

Bei Li suggested that they should make a decision only after the resurrection of Cangxu.

Soon after, the two of them appeared in the Artifact Channel.

Bei Li took out the white cotton candy that she had always used as a cushion, kneading it reluctantly.

“Let’s begin!” Lu Wu reminded her.

Hearing that, Bei Li nodded. Then, an idea came to her. All of a sudden, the soul power that was stored in the Artifact Channel was extracted and flooded incessantly into a ball of white light.

As the soul power funneled into it continuously, the ball of white light beamed with a soft glow. A small black ball that was swirling inside kept shrinking and distorting, as though it was coming to life.

Lu Wu watched his digitized soul coins in the storage menu decline steeply with a heartbroken expression, as if all his possessions were being stolen away.

He initially had a total of 20.8 million soul coins, but within less than half an hour, the white light had already devoured half of them. However, it did not show any signs of slowing down, and instead became faster.

“Oh no, Cangxu’s strength is far more powerful than we had expected. I reckon we won’t be able to resurrect him without at least 50 million soul coins,” exclaimed Bei Li in surprise as she looked at the white light.

Lu Wu was speechless.

“What are we going to do now?” Lu Wu was stunned. There were less than 10 million left in his storage now. As he watched the money rapidly depleting, his heart ached terribly as though it was bleeding.

“We don’t have any choice, we must give up on his full recovery. Let’s recover a portion of him first.”

Suddenly, Bei Li hugged the enlarged light and tore it down from the air, forcing it to stop devouring the soul coins.

Lu Wu’s heart ached unbelievably when he saw the 3 million soul coins that were left. It costs too much!

However, Lu Wu found some comfort when he remembered that he would soon have an outstanding elite creature as his subordinate.

After being interrupted, the huge ball of light dropped to the ground and kept bouncing on it. Out of curiosity, Bei Li crawled on all fours to peer and bounced together with it.

“How is it, is he resurrected?” asked Lu Wu nervously.

“He is resurrected, but he’s in the middle of coming to life. You’ll need to wait a little,” Bei Li sat cross-legged on the ball of light, bouncing along with it.

As they were waiting, the sticky dark liquid inside the ball of light started to spread and gradually shrouded the inside of the ball. Bei Li climbed down from the ball of light and stood beside Lu Wu, waiting together.

After about half an hour, the ball of black light finally wobbled a little. Then, its surface layer slowly melted away to reveal the figure inside.

However, Lu Wu was flustered when he clearly saw what was inside.

A kid that seemed to be about eight to nine years old was naked and curled up on the floor, with his eyes closed.

“Did you catch the wrong person?” Lu Wu questioned Bei Li suspiciously.

Bei Li shook her head, “Maybe due to the lack of soul power recovery, this really is His Excellency Cangxu?”

Hearing that, Lu Wu used an artifact to scan the body of the young Cangxu.

[Cangxu (Recreation)]:

Character Information: Previous Lord of the Land of Cangxu, who committed conspiracies for ages and fought against Heaven just to extend the life of a beautiful woman. However, the love was broken off after he failed to defeat the Heavens. He could not walk the Bridge of Forgetfulness as he had to atone for his sins, so he voluntarily asked for his soul to be scattered.

Character Situation: Recovery was forcibly stopped during his recreation, so his ability only recovered to the initial level of Ghost King (his abilities and spells remain the same).

When Lu Wu saw Cangxu’s attributes, he could not help but cover his face in disappointment. He spent nearly twenty million for a child at the initial level of a Ghost King, when he did not even spend a penny to subdue Tong Gua or Xiao Tian.

At that moment, Cangxu’s body shuddered, as he slowly opened his eyes.

He propped himself up with his hands, seemingly confused, only to find Lu Wu and Bei Li staring at him with contempt.

“Who… who are you? Wasn’t my soul scattered?” the young Cangxu asked in confusion.

Smack! Lu Wu jumped up and slapped the back of his head, “Little brat, I’m the boss here. If you ever call yourself Your Highness again, I’m going to kill you!”

Cangxu rubbed the back of his head, looking bewildered. When he lowered his head, his eyes widened in shock when he saw his naked body, “Why did I become so small?”

Lu Wu glanced naughtily at him and said sarcastically, “Hmm, it is quite small indeed!”

“Who exactly are you people!? Where is this place?” yelled Cangxu as he came to his senses and hurriedly covered his lower body, as he raised his head to look at Lu Wu.

“Little Cangxu, we’re the ones who resurrected you from your scattered soul. How does it feel to be alive again?” asked Lu Wu with a smile.

After Cangxu heard his words, the memories of him at the Bridge of Forgetfulness emerged in his mind, causing him to pale instantly, “I don’t need you to save me. If I’m alive, the war between the immortals and the underworld will be unavoidable. You’ve made a big mistake!”

“Don’t worry, the group of people in the world of the immortals all thought that you had died. After all, they personally saw that your soul had been scattered!” said Bei Li with a hand on her hip, feeling very pleased.

“How is that possible? How did you do that!?”

Cangxu looked doubtful, with an unconvinced expression.

From his point of view, the people who were interested in him were as powerful as a Great Emperor. It was impossible for this kind of trick to deceive their eyes.

“You really did die, and your soul was scattered, but now parts of your soul have been recovered. Do you understand me if I put it that way?” Bei Li explained again.

“That’s even more impossible, even the Great Emperor cannot recover a scattered soul. Don’t you dare lie to me,” Cangxu looked stubborn, the look on his face stating that he would never believe them.

Hearing that, Lu Wu jumped up and slapped Cangxu in the back of his head again, snarling, “Do I even need you to believe me? I’m not having a discussion with you. We saved you, so we are now your boss. All you need to do is listen to us!”

“What’s your purpose in resurrecting me?” asked Cangxu quickly, as though he had thought of something.

“We want you to reign over the Land of Cangxu and become His Excellency Cangxu!”

“That’s impossible, I would perish if I went back. The dumb animals from the world of the immortals would never let me live!”

“I’m not asking you to openly become His Excellency Cangxu. Instead, I’m only asking you to manage a batch of new forces from the Land of Cangxu. Start from the bottom and slowly climb your way to the top, until you rule over the Land of Cangxu again!” explained Lu Wu.

“You want me to be enemies with the troops that used to be mine? I will never do as you ask!” Cangxu looked stubborn, as though he was not going budge at all.

“Little Li, can you brainwash this fellow? He’s too stubborn. Tong Gua was much easier to control!” Lu Wu looked helpless.

Bei Li smiled gently and said, “Cangxu, we’ve already digitized you when you were being recreated. Browse through the information in your brain then you’ll understand.”

After hearing that, Cangxu quickly calmed himself down and submerged his mind into the sea of consciousness.

A golden ball of light slowly emerged in his mind, expanding as he focused on his consciousness. All the information about the artifact suddenly surged into his brain.

Cangxu stood blankly on the spot as he read through the numerous paragraphs of information regarding the artifact and the players.

After a moment…

When Cangxu looked up again, he had a perplexed look on his face, “You were the ones that stopped my plan to go against Heaven?”

Bei Li nodded solemnly, “I cannot deny that you are a genius, but in some aspects, you truly are dumb. Did you really think that defeating Heaven would be an easy thing? Even for us who have artifacts, we would never dare to be as flagrant as you!”

When he heard this, an ember of anger emerged from the bottom of Cangxu’s heart. However, he soon turned gloomy and let out a sigh, “I was left with no choice.”

Bei Li was stunned when she heard Cangxu’s words. When she recalled the reason why Cangxu planned to go against Heaven, she suddenly somewhat understood how Cangxu felt.

“Well, this is another opportunity for you, so hold onto it. You might still have a chance to turn your life around!”

Hearing that, a hint of sadness appeared on Cangxu’s youthful face, “She’s already gone, and I have nothing more to live for in this world. Furthermore, you want me to go against my own troops. I would rather die again than agree to help you.”

Lu Wu leaped onto Cangxu’s shoulder and pressed his hand on Cangxu’s head, “Kid, no one is asking you to kill your own troops. Don’t you know that artifacts have the power to digitize things? As long as we digitize them without destroying their souls, they can still live, you know?”

Cangxu was stunned when he heard that. At that moment, he already knew about certain powers of the artifacts and the powerful feature of digitization, so he completely understood what Lu Wu was saying.

After giving it some thought, Cangxu still shook his head, “I’m tired of this, I don’t wish to fight for anything anymore. But I hope that when you conquer Cangxu, you can let my troops live. If you must kill them, please absorb them into the artifact and let them become a part of your power!”

Lu Wu was disappointed when he looked at Cangxu, who had no will to fight. He could not help but be frustrated when he thought of the large number of soul coins that were wasted on resurrecting Cangxu.

“Are you sure?” asked Bei Li as she laughed all of a sudden.

“I’m tired, I won’t fight anymore!” Cangxu continued to shake his head, seeming as though he wanted nothing more to do with this world.

Suddenly, Bei Li reached out and waved. A ball of white light appeared in her hands, spontaneously changing its shape as she kneaded it in her hands.

“Are you sure?” Bei Li asked again.

Looking at that ball of white light, Cangxu’s expression changed as he felt its familiar scent.

“Stop… stop kneading it, please stop!” Cangxu suddenly seemed heartbroken when he saw Bei Li pulling and twisting it constantly.

“Wu, let’s just send this guy for reincarnation. This could have been the best chance for you to fulfill your centuries-old destiny of love. Sigh, what a waste,” Bei Li looked as if she was very disappointed.

Hearing that, Lu Wu leaped off Cangxu’s shoulder and shook his head as well. “Truly a waste. Since you have no intention of living, we might as well be reasonable and send you back for reincarnation.”

“No, no, no! I agree!” Cangxu looked at the white light and begged sincerely.

The expressions on Bei Li and Lu Wu’s face did not change. Bei Li continued to knead the light in her hands, as though she did not hear what Cangxu had said.

“Is this her?” Cangxu’s body trembled as he approached Bei Li. He wanted to reach out and touch the light, but Bei Li moved aside, dodging him.

“I promise, I promise you! Please give her back to me!”

As he stood close to it, Cangxu could feel the scent from the ball of light. He was sure that it was from the person that he loved the most in the entire world.

“Not a chance!” said Bei Li delightedly as she continued to knead it.

“What must I do in order for you to give her to me?” implored Cangxu. All his previous feelings of indifference had vanished.

“I figured that I couldn’t bear to ask you to become enemies with your troops, so how about we just forget it?” Lu Wu acted as though he could not bear to see that scene happen.

“They won’t be truly dead, I can definitely absorb all of them into the artifact, and have them continue to work for me,” explained Cangxu hurriedly.

“Isn’t that too cruel? I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“What’s so cruel about it? The rule of survival is to fight for domination in the Underworld. It has never changed throughout hundreds of millions of years, for that is the most reasonable thing!”

“Your will to survive is so strong!”

Looking at Cangxu compromising, Lu Wu smiled and hinted at Bei Li with his eyes. Seeing that, Bei Li threw the ball of light in her hands toward Cangxu.

Cangxu hastily caught the ball of light. When he felt the scent exuding from it, his expression was filled with loving affection.

“All this love in the air is making me sick.”

Lu Wu waved his hand with a look of disgust, before asking, “Cangxu, do you want to resurrect her?”

“Yes!” replied Cangxu without any hesitation.

“Hmm, think about it carefully. From now on, you will manage all the matters regarding the Land of Cangxu, especially the publication part. I’ll be honest with you, I spent 150 million soul coins to resurrect you. Although it doesn’t require as much to resurrect her, she still needs at least 80 million soul coins. Now, all you have to do is to earn soul coins diligently to resurrect the love of your life as soon as possible.”

“Yes!” Cangxu had a look of great fortitude on his face, as a ravenous desire for soul coins bubbled in his heart.

“Look, I’m not unreasonable. You’re supposed to give us all the soul coins that you earn. After all, that is the cost of your resurrection. However, I will not take the first 80 million soul coins earned from the Land of Cangxu, so you can save up enough to resurrect Xian Ke. But I want to be clear that after that, the rest of the soul coins that you earn subsequently will be taken by me. Please remember this.”

“Thank you so much!” Cangxu seemed extremely grateful.

From Cangxu’s perception, Lu Wu was too benevolent. Not only did he resurrect him, but he also planned to resurrect Xian Ke, so that they could finally be reunited.

Now that he knew how to resurrect Xian Ke, Cangxu was filled with a blazing fighting spirit. He could not wait to start his journey to the Land of Cangxu and give it his all.

“Why don’t you stay in my house for a few days first to familiarize yourself with the world of the living. Once the European server is activated, it will be your responsibility to manage it. Remember, in the beginning, upgrade the game’s possibilities as much as possible and wait for the number of players to increase before thinking of how to earn soul coins.”

Lu Wu could not help but remind Cangxu when he saw the excitement on Cangxu’s face.

He was worried that Cangxu’s thirst for soul coins would become so overwhelming that he would exploit the players too harshly and turn the game into a money pit.

“I understand!”

Now that Cangxu had seen Xian Ke, he was thoroughly convinced about his mission. He even addressed himself differently.

Bei Li could not resist the urge to cover her face when she looked at Cangxu, who was so blinded by love that he was grateful even after being fooled.

Truly, love makes people go crazy!
