The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1433 - 865: The Heavenly Martial King’s Reward

"At least I delivered Wu Gu’s relics."

Liu Zheng defended himself.

"What did he say?"

The bronze face opened its eyes again.

"He said thank you. The Wa Chiang Clan has always been sparse because of a defect in the bloodline, but now with Wu Gu’s blood, it can be completed. He’s going to work hard on reproducing descendants."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Well, that’s good news."

The bronze face said with satisfaction.

Although Wu Gu and Wu Zhen’s relationship was very good, they often bickered and fought, but they reconciled quickly afterward. Overall, they were like a pair of scatterbrains and grouchy.

Being able to help Wu Gu’s ancestors continue the bloodline is something Wu Zhen’s ancestors would surely be happy about too.

"So what are you here for again?"

The bronze face asked.

"I found something that can help revive the Heavenly Martial King, so I’ve come to let him try it."

Liu Zheng said.

"Really? Don’t think about trying to fool your way through it. The King hates being deceived. Even though you have the Tomb Guardian watching over you, inside the King’s tomb, he won’t have time to save you."

The bronze face reminded.

"Do I look like that kind of person? I always complete tasks to an above-standard level, okay?"

Liu Zheng was displeased.

"When are you going to complete my task above standard?"

The bronze face gave him a sidelong glance.

"Soon, soon, next time for sure."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Heh."

The bronze face laughed mockingly, then disappeared into the stone wall, likely notifying the Heavenly Martial King.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, it popped back up.

"Go in, the King is waiting for you."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of mechanisms activating rang out, and a hole large enough for two people to enter appeared in the stone wall.

"An upgrade in status, finally no more crawling through dog holes."

Liu Zheng laughed.

He walked into the hole and found himself directly in the Mercury Cave.

Just when Liu Zheng was pondering how to proceed, the Bronze Gate on the opposite side opened, and a winged Dragon Horse emerged from the door, flying over to him.

"Snort!"

The Dragon Horse snorted, then lowered its head, signaling him to mount.

"That’s kind of you."

Liu Zheng said politely and leapt onto the horse’s back.

The Dragon Horse flapped its wings, carrying him all the way through the Bronze Gate and landing in front of the Star-picking Platform.

"Snort!"

The Dragon Horse knelt forward, allowing Liu Zheng to dismount easily.

"Thank you. Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Zheng took out a bottle of Copper Mark for it.

The Dragon Horse blinked its big eyes, uncertain of what to do.

"Since Marquis Liu rewards you, you should accept it."

Wearing a golden mask, the High Priest approached and spoke to it.

"Snort~"

The Dragon Horse happily nuzzled against Liu Zheng, then took the Copper Mark in its mouth and retreated.

"Long time no see, I’ve missed you, High Priest."

Liu Zheng greeted the High Priest with a smile.

"Likewise, I’ve missed Marquis Liu greatly. Without you, the tomb feels less lively."

The High Priest said warmly.

"When did I become Marquis Liu?"

He asked.

"I have just conferred it. You are now the Marquis of Longevity, equal to the High Priest, one person below, above thousands."

The voice of the Heavenly Martial King came from the Star-picking Platform.

"I feel quite embarrassed about this."

Liu Zheng scratched his head.

"No need to be embarrassed. If the item you present does not satisfy me, your posthumous title will be Short-lived Marquis."

The Heavenly Martial King said calmly.

"That’s not bad either, in that case, I humbly accept."

Kneeling was out of the question, so Liu Zheng gave a deep bow.

The Heavenly Martial King didn’t mind; resurrected, he wouldn’t sweat the small stuff. If not, addressing Liu Zheng’s offenses of deceiving the king and improper conduct before the throne could wait.

"Present the item."

He said.

"Yes."

Liu Zheng took out the "Life, Old Age, Illness, and Death Stew." A light thread flew out from the coffin, tightly wrapping the pot and pulling it inside.

"What use does this have?"

The Heavenly Martial King inquired.

Due to it being a restaurant product, even with his power, he couldn’t fully discern the "Life, Old Age, Illness, and Death Stew’s" function.

"I know of four uses."

Liu Zheng explained all four effects to him.

"A fifty percent chance of resurrection?"

The Heavenly Martial King pondered.

"Can you obtain this item again?"

He asked.

"Probably not."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

Perfect Quality food items themselves are rare and hard to come by, not to mention a specific type.

"And what about an item that can increase the chance?"

The Heavenly Martial King asked persistently.

"That might be possible."

Liu Zheng nodded.

The last "Chaotic Dice" was such an item, its function being to shuffle the probabilities of item effects.

By that inference, an item that purely increases success probability should also exist.

"In that case, I entrust the Marquis of Longevity to help me collect such items."

After considerable thought, the Heavenly Martial King finally made a decision.

He had stayed in this tomb for countless ages before encountering such a chance of resurrection, missing it might mean waiting a long time again.

Rather than gamble on luck, he would rather wait a bit more.

Of course, the Heavenly Martial King also believed in Liu Zheng’s abilities.

Having obtained a treasure that could revive someone, acquiring an item that boosts success probability shouldn’t be a problem.

"No problem, the king has already made me a marquis, what more needs to be said? But about that sword..."

Liu Zheng drew out his tone.

"Naturally, it will be returned."

As the Heavenly Martial King finished speaking, the Three Five Evil Slayer Hero Sword flew toward Liu Zheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Zheng accepted the Divine Sword and bowed in thanks.

"No need for too many courtesies, Marquis of Longevity. According to custom, when a new marquis is appointed, I should grant you a reward to celebrate. What would the Marquis of Longevity like?"
