The Boss Behind The Game

In the Burial Grounds.

The swallowing contest between the Demonic God and Hiderigami was still ongoing.

But what terrified Hiderigami was that he was losing Blood Qi faster than the Demonic God. If this continued, not only would he fail in devouring the Demonic God, he would be swallowed up whole by the Demonic God instead.

Coming to this realization, intense hatred flowed out of Hiderigami's eyes. Thus he changed his mind. The seven blood snakes let go of their bites altogether. At the same time, his neck was twisted and skull ripped off his body.

A mist of blood sprinkled in the air. A headless Hiderigami took a few steps back. Then, his body got distorted and he flew into the sky in the form of blood light.

"Argh! Hiderigami!"

Seeing this, the Demonic God raised his head and tossed Hiderigami's skull away. At the same time, he jumped up and rushed toward that mist of blood.

He had suffered for hundreds of thousands of years to have the chance to kill Hiderigami today. He could not let Hiderigami escape just like that.

The Demonic God's body approached rapidly as he transformed his right hand into a bloody giant hand in the air and pressed down on the blood mist.

Just as the hand was about to come into contact with the blood mist, a piece of the game's contract appeared in the Demonic God's mind. He stopped mid-air and fell from the sky.

The ability to reincarnate according to the contract had been activated. The three-hour limit to this body's usage was officially over.

As Gu Yu regained control of his own body, he stared at the blood mist unwillingly with regret.

When the Demonic God possessed him, he felt his anger burning inside him. The Demonic God's vengeful hatred toward Hiderigami was far deeper than he imagined.

If he could, Gu Yu was willing to lend his body to the Demonic God until he could kill Hiderigami.

But now everything was too late. The blood mist was already gone and Gu Yu fell heavily onto the ground.

Without the support of the Demonic God, Gu Yu's health bar dropped significantly by half.

…...

In the deepest part of the Cliffs of Desperation.

The Demonic God was bellowing wildly.

He wanted to break through the constraints of the land and continue fighting. He was unwilling to let things end like that!

Multiple golden chains appeared with each struggle of the Demonic God, flickering with glory in the darkness as it locked the land. This was a sealing power that the Demonic God could not resist no matter how much he struggled.

He was so close to victory yet he had failed. How much time did he have to wait for the next chance? Ten thousand years? A hundred thousand years?

The negative emotions in the Demonic God's body skyrocketed once again, causing his body to inflate.

At this moment, the golden chains tightened up all of a sudden, suppressing the Demonic God's power forcefully. It made the Demonic God roar in pain.

At the top of the mountain, a silhouette of an old man emerged slowly. The old man stepped to the side of the pillar pagoda.

Glancing at the black skeletons on the pillar, yearning flowed from the old man's eyes. He caressed the pillar gently.

"Demonic God, control your power!"

As the old man spoke, a force flowed from his arm into the pillar. Immediately, the golden chains stopped constricting.

"North Sea, I do not need your sympathy! Get out of here!" a pair of blood red eyes appeared on the mountaintop.

"I have never pitied you, I even wanted to kill you!" the old man chuckled as he looked at the blood-colored eyes formed by the black mist.

"So many years have passed, I no longer have hatred for you," the old man spoke once more.

"I do not need friends! I don't! Get out of here!" the Demonic God said fiercely.

"Do not be silly, who will keep you company and talk to you if I am really gone."

The Demonic God fell silent as he heard this. The anger in his heart simmered suddenly.

"North Sea, let me go and I will give you infinite power!" the Demonic God started to speak again.

"You may bluff anyone and everyone, but did you think you could use your tricks on me?" The old man knocked on the pillar helplessly.

As he had tried these a few times, the Demonic God was used to the old man's rejections. After a moment of silence he opened his mouth again.

"North Sea, please help me!" this time the Demonic God lowered his voice as he pleaded.

"Say it!" the old man imitated Gu Yu's tone.

"Bring the man that I possessed back to me!"

"You want to possess him again?" the old man asked in puzzlement.

"This is what I promised him, I have to keep that promise."

The old man stared at him with eyes widened, "This is not like you at all. A bastard like you would keep his promises?"

The Demonic God glared at the old man, "Will you help or not!?"

"Alright, since you rarely beg me, I will help you this time."

The old man smiled then his body slowly faded and disappeared.

…...

In the Burial Grounds, Gu Yu and Sun Qi, who fell on the ground at the same time, stared at each other.

"Boss? Demonic God?" Sun Qi raised his head and asked carefully.

Gu Yu slapped the back of Sun Qi's head and asked, "What do you think!?"

"You're back, boss?" joy appeared on Sun Qi's face while he discreetly closed the live broadcast that was running.

In the comments section:

"You're a whore, dog! What do you mean by shutting down the broadcast at this point, I still don't know what is going on!"

"Dog you have changed, how dare you shut down the live broadcast. Don't let me see you out there, otherwise I will tame you!"

"Good job dog, let's see if I will break your leg when I see you outside!"

"Ah, what happened, why did the Demonic God disappear? Also, Hiderigami seems to have fled. Has Invincible_Loneliness recovered, or is he still possessed by the Demonic God? Is this going to remain an unsolved mystery?"

The darkened live streaming channel triggered a barrage of scolding in the comment section.

As Gu Yu was about to answer Sun Qi, a flash of white light swept them up from the ground and carried them toward the direction of the Cliff of Desperations.

The sight in front of them went blur and when their vision recovered, Gu Yu and Sun Qi realized that they had appeared in front of the white-haired old man's wooden house again.

At that moment, the door creaked open.

"What are you doing? Why are you here again?" the white-haired old man looked at both of them in dislike.

The dumbfounded Gu Yu thought for a while and assumed that the Demonic God had summoned him. Therefore he said, "Dog, you stay here. I think I need to take a trip to the top."

"Eh, do you mean to climb this mountain? Didn't I tell you not to go?" the white-haired old man retrieved his walking stick from his back and looked ready for a fight.

They were speechless for a moment.

"Old man, you heard me wrong, I meant to say that I left something on the road so I have to go back and look for it. I will leave the dog here with you. I promise not to climb the mountain! "

Facing the skeptical old man, Gu Yu promised once again that he would not hike the mountain and turned to leave promptly.

After seeing Gu Yu's departure, Sun Qi glanced at the white-haired old man's stare and smiled awkwardly.

"Silly dog, move aside. What are you laughing at?" the white-haired old man raised his leg to kick Sun Qi out and quickly closed his wooden door with a bang.
