Worldwide Simulation Era - Chapter 542

542 Heaven-defying Divine Weapon
“Uh… Can you not look at me like that? At most, I’ll think of a way to solve this problem.”

Lin Qiye felt a little uncomfortable under Wan Meng’s gaze.

Wan Meng suddenly turned to Lin Qiye and said, “Do you know Fatty?”

Lin Qiye was stunned.

“What?”

It was just a nickname, so Lin Qiye had no way of knowing who she was referring to.

“He’s a chubby monk. The one who’s always smiling,” Wan Meng added.

A fat monk who was always smiling?

A figure instantly appeared in Lin Qiye’s mind.

After receiving the information from the Black Dragon, he suspected that the fat monk who had been paying attention to him was a member of the Heavenly God Palace.

Now that he heard Wan Meng’s words, he could confirm his identity.

“I guess so, but we are not very close.”

Lin Qiye nodded.

Hearing this answer, Wan Meng’s expression gradually calmed down.

She looked at Lin Qiye and continued, “So Fatty really didn’t lie to me. Master’s prophecy will really come true…”

At this moment, Wan Meng no longer feared death from before, nor was she as agile as she had been when she had transformed into a little girl.

There was only a sense of helplessness.

“You keep talking about prophecies and whatnot. What exactly is the so-called prophecy?”

Lin Qiye’s curiosity was piqued by Wan Meng.

Previously, he had thought the prophecy was only about the crisis brought by the demons, but now it seemed to have some other connection with him.

Wan Meng raised her head and looked at Lin Qiye. After a long time, she slowly said, “This is a prophecy left behind by my master. She was once a peak expert from ancient times. After the Great War, master disappeared like all the other experts.”

“Before master disappeared, she left behind two prophecies. The world would be infected by the outer realm races and become a filthy place. The other is a prophecy about the ‘antidote’ that will save this world.”

“The first prophecy came true in recent years, but the other has always been suspected by people. The so-called ‘antidote’ doesn’t exist at all.”

When Wan Meng said this, her eyes flickered as she looked at Lin Qiye. She was suspicious, but it quickly disappeared.

She changed the topic and did not continue explaining. Instead, she asked Lin Qiye, “You’re not from this world, are you?”

Lin Qiye was taken aback. After a moment of silence, he spoke.

“No.”

In the past, the people of the native world couldn’t imagine that he had come from the main world.

However, ever since he had arrived here, he had been targeted by the people of the Heavenly God Palace from the second day of his birth without even knowing it.

If the people of the Heavenly God Palace had ill intentions toward him, he would not have been able to live until now.

Upon hearing Lin Qiye’s confirmation, Wan Meng’s face revealed a look of disappointment. She no longer looked as tender and childish as before.

She let out a soft breath.

“It seems the prophecy was right.”

Lin Qiye was confused and frowned.

“Can’t you make yourself clear? You’re giving me a headache.”

Wan Meng looked at Lin Qiye and sighed.

“Forget it. Since you’ve become my new master, I’ll have a good talk with you.”

New master?

While Lin Qiye was still in a daze, Wan Meng had already started talking about the prophecy.

It turned out that in the prophecy left behind by her previous master, other than mentioning the demons would invade the world, there would be a person from another world who would descend one day, just like the demons.

In the prophecy, that person could purify the power of evil and lead the native creatures to fight against evil.

However, the crisis could not be resolved just because the ‘antidote’ had appeared.

There were a few other branches in the prophecy. Most were about the world being invaded and reduced to a demon’s den.

What happened between Wan Meng and Lin Qiye was at the intersection of the branches of prophecy.

No matter what the final direction was, she was destined to be entangled with the ‘antidote.’

Wan Meng didn’t expect that the so-called entanglement was the literal meaning.

“So, because of that prophecy, you acknowledged me as your master?”

Lin Qiye couldn’t help but feel dazed that he had obtained a divine weapon for no reason.

Wan Meng shook her head, feeling somewhat helpless.

“It’s not because of the prophecy. It’s because you triggered the prophecy that I have no choice but to acknowledge you as my master. Although I’m only a part of my master’s divine weapon, the power that an existence like my master possesses is far beyond your imagination. Even if I only retain a thousandth of my power, it’s still not something ordinary people can handle.”

The conditions for a divine weapon to recognize an owner were hard to achieve. Even a Celestial expert could not force a divine weapon to submit to them.

The reason why Wan Meng was so sure Lin Qiye was the person in the prophecy was that Lin Qiye’s mental power and her current state were the same after she had completed the master recognition.

The two were connected, and Lin Qiye could control Wan Meng with a single thought.

Similarly, Wan Meng could also sense Lin Qiye’s needs through the link and assist on her own.

Lin Qiye was overjoyed. He didn’t expect such a good thing to happen while sitting at home.

Although Wan Meng was only a part of that expert’s divine weapon, he could feel that her power was stronger than any treasure he possessed.

That included the Supreme Pearl!

Seeing the unconcealed joy in Lin Qiye’s eyes, Wan Meng suddenly snorted.
