《The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara 》Chapter 161: Damn… We Messed Up!
Advertisement
[Then if we fail to catch another Link in the Mortal Scape whilst falling, we will eventually fall out of the Trial and then you can kiss your cultivation goodbye!] Long rapidly explained as Sam and Dara froze in shock…
The sheer speed a with which this Link was pulling them would barely enable to them to spot a Silver Link, not to talk of jumping to actually catch it on time;
[How is it even possible!?] Sam asked with a hard frown;
[The most important thing is to spot one, once we have the general direction of where the Link is, we can jump off this Link after moving past it...]
[But then, the challenge would be to ensure that we catch the Link on our way down, otherwise, we would find ourselves back at square one at best, and at worst, we would have wasted our time here…] Long explained as they all kept a lookout for the Silver Link…
But even after three hours of looking at thousands of Links speeding past their presence at a speed of about 2,000 miles an hour, Sam and Dara were already getting dizzy and somewhat hallucinating;
Moreover, even their consciousness was already playing tricks on them as every now and then they would see a Link that they could have sworn was Silver in color…
But Long kept paying attention to the situation as he had sensed that the Qi they were absorbing from the Qi Stone was about 95 percent depleted already, and he knew it might affect Sam and Dara's desire to look for the Link should he tell them, thus he simply went on with the search and even encouraged them;
[Pay attention guys… It is this time when you start thinking that your mind is playing tricks on you that these Links would start appearing one after the other, and after being exposed to a lot of them, you might pass by one and think it is another ordinary White Empty Link, so be careful…]

Long warned as Sam and Dara refocused, and after about another half an hour; [
I see one!]
All three of them blurted simultaneously as they coincidentally saw the same Silver Link…
[Alright, jump!]
Long ordered as they jumped off the Bronze Link which dropped back down at a pace so fast, it almost bordered on instantaneous return…
Dara and the rest were already on their way back down when Long realized they were a little off course;
He realized that the Link would most likely be about three meters of their current spot, and as a result, they grabbed Dara and tossed him three meters away from their current location…
Then after another ten minutes of falling, based on the types and color patterns of the Empty Links they saw around that Silver Link, they once again realized that they were about two meters to the right;
But just as Sam and Long was about to toss the other two meters off their current location, Dara abruptly yelled;
[Wait!]
[What is it, you brat!?] Long yelled;
[You almost made me toss Sam in the wrong direction!] He added with a frown but wasn't overly harsh with his tone;
[I was just thinking that if you tossed him just now and we discovered that we were about a single meters off the Link when we arrived at its position, what would we do then?]
Dara asked as Long and Sam realized that they had almost committed a grave mistake;
[So what do you suggest kid?] Sam asked;
[I think it would be better if you guys wait until it is almost time and then launched one another two meters apart, that way we would have a higher chance of grabbing it!]
Dara suggested as Long and Sam agreed to this logic, and soon enough, they were bearing down on the Link when Sam bellowed;

[Now!]
Instantly Long grabbed Sam and swung him in an arc, but just as Sam's other hand was about to leave Long's grasp, they both realized that they had gotten it wrong by about five degrees to the left, and it was already too late;
[Damn!]
Sam cursed out loud as he realized that they would have fallen even more off target if Dara hadn't stopped them earlier…
But whilst Dara and Sam both lamented on the situation, Long abruptly grabbed Sam's only limb tighter and instead threw him towards Dara…
Coming to a quick understanding of Long's intention, Sam slimmed his posture to take advantage of the momentum as he launched a very hard kick at Dara, who also realized their tactics and flipped himself mid-fall before stomping on Sam's incoming foot…
Tak!
Sam added Long's momentum to his own and transferred it into Dara who borrowed it to jump even higher as he moved up slightly, but that momentum could only do so much as the downward force of the Spirit Realm which expels experts' consciousness stopped him mid-flight before it began to push Dara back down as Sam and Long sighed in anguish;
[Damn… We messed up!] Sam lamented;
[So sorry guys, I have been here before albeit a very long time ago… But that is not an excuse, I should have done better!]
Long took the blame upon himself as they saw the barrier that led into the Mortal Realm fast approaching;
[We should be just try our best to grab into any Bronze Link as we descend…] Long tried to encourage;
[It's alright even if we don't; at least, we have achieved our primary aim which is to show Dara what to expect…]
[Furthermore, I was a mortal before, and I will be happy even if I only get to live as a mortal in this fantastic world too…]
Sam held no real optimism because, whilst the Link in the Spirit Realm were all stagnant and unmoving;
The ones in the Mortal Realm were extremely elusive, and when one considered the fact that they had already almost run out of Qi and were only barely resisting the repulsive force of the Qi Sensing Trial, one would realize that their situation was nigh hopeless…
'Shit, will Sam now sacrifice himself for me and then settle for less… No, I am unwilling to let that happen!'
Dara thought to himself as he began to think of the box to find a solution but just couldn't due to the chaotic state of his consciousness, thus he decided to calm himself…

Gods Game
The Gods gathered together in a moment of clarity and created a world where people could battle, gain powers, and eventually enough power to kill them and take their place. After a millennium, they still have little success. Some of the combatants have died, others have given up and accepted their lives as they are, others turned their back on their original calling entirely, rebelled and have decided to wage war against this world and the reason they are there. So the gods keep scooping people up from the various worlds they've created in hopes of finding their death. They had gathered from six of the seven worlds they had available to them, now they have no choice but to gather combatants from the one world they swore they would leave alone: Earth. The world was dying and the people seemed hell bent on killing each other, rather than focusing on keeping their world alive so they could all live peacefully. Earth wasn't an ideal place to choose from, but the Gods had no choice. With new combatants gathered, each blessed with a gift from the Gods, they are set loose in the world of Taimin. The play ground for the replacement God candidates. However, this time, the combatants are unaware of their true purpose, so that maybe, they can accomplish the God's true goals. Another round of God creation has begun, but with secrets kept from them, and others hunting for their deaths, can they survive the first rounds, or will they perish because of the weaknesses they carry? NOTE: I do not own that cover, I googled fantasy wallpaper planets and I found that one. ^_^ Also, this story will slightly be fanfictiony as some weapons and elements may come videos, shows, and/or books.
