Chapter 378: Chapter 216: Four Guests

Translator: 549690339

Everything was going according to plan, without any unexpected incidents.

In the foreknowledge, the avatar was killed, and Su Nan didn’t know whether a wedding without a groom could continue.

If the ceremony were to be terminated due to the lack of a groom, his real body might avoid the crisis.

[The avatar was killed, and the wedding lacked a groom. All guests were angry with fierce expressions.]

[Just when you thought the ceremony would stop due to this, the male and female child hosting the ceremony glanced at the present guests, preparing to choose one as the groom and continue the ceremony.]

[Unfortunately, as one of the five guests present, you were chosen for having relatively more Qi Luck.]

“Qi Luck! So, the reason I was repeatedly chosen as the groom was that I had enough Qi Luck!”

Seeing this, Su Nan’s expression changed slightly, finally understanding why he was always chosen as the groom.

At the same time, he was also disappointed.

Obviously, he failed again this time.

The ceremony did not stop due to the lack of a groom; instead, they selected a groom from among the guests, and they chose him, which was beyond his expectation.

However, compared to these, the number of guests mentioned in the foreknowledge made Su Nan even more puzzled.

“Five guests?”

“There are four other guests besides me!”

Su Nan was surprised. The guests in the foreknowledge could not possibly refer to the Soul-eating Demons and Corpse Puppets. Otherwise, there would not be just five of them. The guests here must be martial artists or demons with Divine Souls.

This was strange.

By rights, there should only be one guest in the temple, so how could there suddenly be four more guests.

“Could they be players?”

Suddenly, Su Nan thought of a possibility.

There was a high likelihood of this. Martial artists entering the temple might have encountered an accident long ago and could not have survived until now. The two powerful Dianxing Sect individuals and the Demon King of the Skywolf Clan were perfect examples.

Players were different.

Players could quit the game. Even if they died, it wouldn’t matter. They could only not log in to the game that day. When they logged in again on the second day, they would still be in the temple and continue to play the role of a guest.

“This place is already deep within the Divine Ruins. Ordinary players can’t get here. Maybe a few unlucky ones logged in and ended up here. Then they got stuck in the temple.”

Su Nan thought of a possibility.

He didn’t know, just as he thought, at that moment, several players appeared out of thin air in the temple.

However, different from his guess, the temple didn’t have four players.

There were only three!

“The forum said that there would be treasures appearing here, but I don’t know what kind of treasure that could be.”

“This place is the Forbidden Area of Life. We won’t get any treasures here, let alone that we are trapped here and can’t get out!”

Apparently, the treasure information on the forum attracted them, so they logged into the game immediately.

Just as Su Nan thought, their luck was bad. As soon as they entered the game, they appeared in the Divine Ruins.

After several death experiences, they all arrived at this temple and were then trapped in the temple and unable to leave.

“For us, this might be an opportunity. If other players come in looking for treasure, they might be able to help us leave.”

“Don’t dream. This place is very strange. Even Zhang Yang, Wang Nan, and Lang Thirteen, the top three on the Ranking List, would kneel here like us!”

Upon realizing that they couldn’t leave, they had been collecting relevant information. They even spent a lot of money to have some informants on the forum help them search for related information.

However, when they learned the place they were in was the Forbidden Area of Life and that the temple they were trapped in was called the Joyful Deity Temple, they were devastated.

” I hope Zhang Yang and Wang Nan could come here. What if they could actually find a way out with their skills?” Someone said with hope.

More than half of the time for the Human Crisis Task had already passed, but they had not even completed the Novice Task. If they continued like this, their fate would be nothing but elimination.

“Don’t delude yourself. Didn’t you see that even a King-level powerhouse like that old man was trapped here just like us? He could only pretend to be dead to escape any trouble.”

In a low whisper, the three people subconsciously looked towards the gray- robed old man not far away.

The forum had many screenshots of when the Dianxing Sect and the Skywolf Clan fought. After comparing the pictures, they discovered that the old man was a King-level powerhouse of the Dianxing Sect!

If Su Nan heard their conversation right now, he would be surprised.

In the trio’s conversation, that old man from the Dianxing Sect hadn’t died!

[Unfortunately, you were chosen as the substitute groom.]

[ All guests looked at you. The next moment, your vision blurred. When you appeared again, you were already wearing festive wedding clothes and standing in front of the woman’s Divine Statue in the grand hall, continuing the unfinished ceremony of your avatar.]

[With the male child hosting the ceremony shouting “First bow to Heaven and Earth,” the ceremony officially began. You immediately found that your body was out of control, bowing with the bride to the Divine Statue in front of you.]

[As you and the bride bowed together, you immediately felt an invisible force draining from your body. It was your lifespan. In an instant, your body aged ten years.]

[You wanted to resist, but found out that you couldn’t use any of your powers, be it techniques or divine abilities. You could only continue like a puppet.]

[The ceremony didn’t stop. As the male child hosting the ceremony shouted “Second bow to the Joyful Deity,” you and the bride bowed again. This time, your Qi Luck would be extracted.]
