Chapter 1432: Chapter 1432 – The Troubles Of The Gods 4 (Thanks To Alliance Leader Long Absence)
“We are now trapped in this area called the station. Can’t you let us return to the real world and leave you here alone?”A God questioned.
“No.”The person who spoke was not even Gaime or Zhang Heng, but Zeus. In the previous battle, he had been the main force against Cthulhu, and his divine weapon, thunder, had been destroyed, therefore, he could be considered the person who understood Cthulhu the best among the gods.
“The power of this space isn’t enough to trap that guy. In fact, if my weapon was still here, I could have destroyed this area,”Zeus said with a serious expression.
“But even if Gaime couldn’t do it, even if we added in the strongest area we could create, we still wouldn’t be able to trap him, right?”The God of Light, Bader, said.
“That’s the theory,”Zhang Heng said. “Other than the underwater city called La Leye, there’s no other place in this world that can completely block his movements.”
“Then what’s the point of asking us for help?”A goddess dressed in JK said with an unfriendly expression.
“Me and the other guy who lives in my body, when we use our bodies, the other party is in a state of hibernation, which means that they have no sense of the outside world. Previously, Gaime and I discussed a possibility,”Zhang Heng said calmly.
“I want to recreate the outside world one by one in a game dungeon,”Zhang Heng said. “I heard from Gaime that to be as flawless as the previous dungeons, all of you need to work together.”
“Wait, are you trying to trick that guy? That dungeon is the real world, right?”The goddess of wisdom, Athena, was also surprised, “Even if that guy fell for this trick, he wouldn’t be able to trick him for too long, right? After he destroys the world, he’ll realize that his power hasn’t changed. Naturally, he’ll realize that something’s wrong.”

“That’s right. That’s when we need the existence of the second world,”Zhang Heng answered quickly, obviously having studied this question for a long time.
“Second World?”As expected of the goddess of wisdom, Athena was only stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. “You want to put another one on top of the real world?”
“We’re not going to put another one on. Just to be on the safe side, it’s better for us to put a few more on top of each other,”Zhang Heng said, “It’s better to put one on top of the other like a thousand layer cake, but remember to leave a door for me so that I can go in and out when it’s my time.”
“You only have ten minutes, what’s there to get in and out of?”The god of amusement park could not help but roll his eyes.
“As long as I change the flow of time, ten minutes can still become very long. Besides, who said I only have ten minutes to use?”Zhang Heng shook the starfish in his hand, “Unfortunately, with this watch, the flow of time in that special dungeon can only be set to 1:1. However, this is also good, so that he won’t be suspicious easily.”
The gods looked at each other. They all realized that this solution could indeed work.
However, after a moment of silence, someone spoke up, “Your plan might be able to fool him a few times, but as time goes on, he won’t even be able to confirm whether he’s in the real world anymore. He’ll use brute force to break open the dungeon.”
“That’s right, but that’s at least a year away. It’ll take him at least a year to destroy the first two worlds,”Zhang Heng said.
“After that, we’ll have to rely on the players,”Zhang Heng said, “This is also the reason why we need to restart the game. This time, the newly released expansion pack will undergo a large number of updates and release the main mission — The Awakening of Cthulhu. The ultimate goal of the game is no longer to PK between players, but to find a way to fight Cthulhu together.”

“So many of us gods are helpless, what can a mere human do…”Apollo frowned.
“The point is not that they have a way, but to make them believe that they have a way,”Zhang Heng emphasized once more, “This also requires your help. Now that we have the main mission, we are still short of sub-missions, especially those related to you. Other than that, the number of players is also not enough. We need to continue expanding. Only when enough people believe in the final outcome will that outcome happen.”
“But that doesn’t mean that it’s against the rules. We Gods can’t use any means to change our fate,”the tarot card god questioned.
“We didn’t. We only gave them a main storyline mission. As for the choice, we’ll give it back to the players.”
“Aren’t you worried that they’ll destroy the world in the end? Or that they’ll choose to kill you and Cthulhu Together? Haven’t they already done that once?”Chronos suddenly said.
“Of course I’m worried, but a wise man once told me to have faith in humanity. She showed me the kindness of the world, so I plan to return that kindness to the world,”Zhang Heng said, “I believe that if they’re given enough time, they’ll find a better solution. Besides, neither I nor the guy in my body can be killed so easily. As time passes, Cthulhu culture and my novel will become more and more popular. Of course, if one day we become less popular, then your troubles will automatically be resolved.”
The gods fell silent again, and they began to whisper to each other.
However, this was not the case for Kronos. Although he was isolated by the gods for releasing Cthulhu, as an old god who was good at socializing.., even at a time like this, Kronos still had some allies and friends, but he did not gather like the others around him.
“Why? Aren’t you going to consider my proposal?”Zhang Heng asked.
“There’s nothing to consider.”Kronos shook his head. “Do we have any other choice but to do as you say?” “To be honest, if I could have predicted what would happen after I brought you out of that city under the ice, I might have killed you then.”
“You won’t,”Zhang Heng said calmly, “Even if someone as conceited as you saw the result in advance, you would have believed that you had a way to change it. Besides, deep down in your heart, you’re a gambler.”
For the first time, Chronos didn’t get angry when he heard the last sentence. He took out another bag of fudge from his pocket and poured it into his mouth, “You’ve won this round. You can say whatever you want, but I won’t give up on my final goal.”
“I know.”Zhang Heng was quick-witted. He grabbed the remaining Fudge from the old man and threw it into his mouth, “I look forward to fighting you next time, but if I win the next time, I’m afraid you’ll have to pay a bigger price.”
“Then we’ll see.”Kronos snorted.

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

Corinth
This is the story of an expanding empire, not understanding its reach, unfulfilled by its goals, and misled by its gods. It follows a group of travellers as they try to expand the empire, and probe the edges of its control. It is set in a world in which power is directly connected to origins, ancestry, and the gods of a culture. It examines the effects of conflict on a people when they can’t be disconnected from their surroundings, and thus true mobility is not possible.

Deciding that a new push is needed, groups are being funded to take and farm the near-empty land, and this group of four is heading out ahead of many of the settlers. The four - Sojo, Mirrel, Eyn, and Brehen - hope to find and chart something of importance in a vast, nearly unexplored landscape, and bring the knowledge back to make their fortune. This story will be focusing on the people that make, inspire, and ultimately shape the course of an empire's ambitions. It is hosted at https://thecorinthianman.wordpress.com/ and updates Wednesdays.
