Rise of the Demon God

Chapter 1499 1499: Struggle


Chapter 1499 1499: Struggle  ”This place certainly seems like a nightmare we can’t wake up from. I’ve just entered, and I’m already worried about the coming choices. I can already imagine my frustration after getting things wrong and getting lost in the maze. In this maze, each choice matters, and we can’t make a mistake. So we must absolutely select the right path among these three. We can’t make a mistake.” 

Long Chen rubbed his chin as he sat on the ground with a deep frown on his face. It was better to not choose than to choose and be wrong. We wanted to be absolutely correct when he selected. 

”You are right. We really can’t make a mistake here, but what can we even do other than take a guess? We don’t know which path is the right path, can we?” Long Tian sighed. “It’s all based on luck. If we are lucky, we will get out. If not, we will roam inside for an eternity.”

”Even though it’s true we don’t know which path is the right path; I still don’t want to be too hasty. Let me think…” Long Chen closed his eyes as he started thinking. 

He went through all his memories, from the start of his life to now, trying to see if there was anything he could use? He remembered the day he found Xun and learned the martial arts skill. He also remembered the… 

”Wait a minute! How could I forget it! My first Bloodline Trial! That’s it! That’s where the answer lies!” Long Chen suddenly exclaimed as he stood up in excitement as if he had received an answer. He had never been this happy and relieved in his life as he was now! He didn’t even need to remember his entire life! Just a few months were enough!

”Your first Bloodline Trial where you killed the Monsters to stop a war with the tribes? What about that?” Long Tian asked. Even though he wasn’t there at that time, he still saw everything from inside the Bloodline Temple. 

”The Three eyed tribe! Did you forget about them? Two of them had arrived in this world by accident. Both of them are in my Inner World, waiting for me to find a way to their home world! So far, I haven’t managed to find a way to take them back, but for now, that doesn’t matter. What matters is them!” Long Chen exclaimed. 

”What about them? What are you thinking?” Long Tian asked, frowning. He still couldn’t understand what Long Chen was implying. 

”It’s a little known knowledge, but their third eye isn’t just for show. They can use it to see positive and negative energy in the surrounding. There are three ways before us, and only one of them is the right path? That means the other two paths must have some negative aura. As for the right one, since it leads to the exit, it must have a positive aura. Using this, we should have an easy way out.”

Finishing up, Long Chen burst into laughter. This maze of death! He had found a chest to get out of it! At the moment, he felt like the main character of the novels he used to read where the guy used to receive some epic chest that gave him an unfair advantage against others!

”Ah, that must just work, but it might also fail as well. This maze is too tricky to rely on auras,” Long Tian muttered. “But I have no better idea, so we can only try yours.”

Long Chen smiled. He closed his eyes as he sent his consciousness inside his Inner world. He could see Xun calling him inside to bring her out, but he momentarily ignored her. This place wasn’t safe for her, and he didn’t want to spend time explaining to her about this place. She was only going to unnecessary worry after all.”

Long Chen called out a man who possessed three eyes. Only two of his eyes were open while one was closed. 

”Terra, welcome back.”

”Ah, finally, I’m out. Did you find the way back to our world? This place… What is it?”

”I still haven’t managed to find your home. I’m still in the process. As for this place… It is where I’m stuck. It is a deadly trap called the Maze of Death, and I believe only you can help us escape this place safely!” Long Chen said, placing both his hands on the shoulder of the man. “Will you help me?”

”O-of course. You helped me so much. I would certainly help you,” Terra agreed right away. “But I still don’t understand what this place is and how I can be of help? I don’t even know this place?”

”Only you can help me here. Let me tell you…”

Long Chen started explaining about this place and how there were possibly a billion choices to be made. He also talked about how one wrong choice could lead them to death’s door. 

”So I’ve been thinking that if you can see the positive energy path, you can tell us. If we keep taking those paths, there is a good chance that we might get out of there alive. That’s why only you can help us. So, will you?”

”I don’t want you to die. You are our savior. I’ll do anything you ask me to do. Please don’t worry. I will do as you say.”

”That’s so great! With you around, this maze of Death won’t be that scary anymore! So, which of the three paths is correct? Let’s test my theory.”

Terra nodded as he closed both his eyes. As both his eyes closed, his third eye slowly opened. He observed all three paths carefully before he slowly closed his third eye. He opened his normal eyes. 

”So, which path has a negative energy?” Long Chen asked eagerly. 

Terra took a deep breath as he sighed. “Actually, all three of them…”

”What?” Long Chen asked.

”I meant all three paths have negative energy. There is no path that doesn’t have negative energy as you asked,” Terra answered.

”So we can’t get out… It was a wasted effort. It’s done. We’ll find a way. You can go back. I’ll send you back.” Long Chen sighed with a really disappointed look on his face. He had really expected his plan to work, but it failed so brutally that he still couldn’t believe it. 

Now he had no choice but to think of a different way. He couldn’t give up and select any random path. 

”Wait, don’t send me back. I haven’t finished yet.” Terra answered. “There is more that you should know….”
