Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 730; The Gate of Life and Death, The Rules of the Chosen Game

"Not to be rude, but you're getting more and more terrifying with your words lately."

Black Knight looked at the guy who was inexplicably talking to the sky by himself and felt a bit creeped out—no, creeped out as a vehicle.

"Can you really talk to Them? Can you see Them?"

Lu Ce shrugged, saying nothing.

Of course he didn't know, but he was just playing along since the mood struck.

What if that "brother of Agony," the Arbitrator, really was watching!

"Shouldn't we start already? Why is there no movement?"

Before Lu Ce could finish his monologue, as if responding to his words, a door shimmering with white light materialized out of thin air right in front of him!

[Due to the number and level of individuals rejecting this universal game meeting the requirements, the game plan is suspended.]

[After all obstructors have failed, the game will automatically classify all people as the Chosen.][Now, all opponents, please step through the door before you!]

It felt a bit like inviting the gentleman into the jar.

But at this point, there was no meaning in hesitation anymore. Lu Ce waved his hand, recalling Black Knight, and stepped through the door before him.

In a blur before his eyes, Lu Ce vanished from his room and arrived in a vast, pure white space.

Focusing his gaze, he realized he wasn't the first to arrive. That fiery red figure in the distance was clearly Sun.

Starting from his entry, light doors continuously appeared throughout the white space, and people stepped out from them one after another.

Finally, everyone had stepped out from all the light doors, silently looking at each other.

There were about fifty or so people in total. Lu Ce didn't count precisely. Honestly, he found it quite surprising. At least all these people hadn't been scared off by "directly gambling against the gods."

A glance revealed most were familiar faces—Sun, Perfect Life, all present one by one.

There were also several people wearing the black elder robes of the Dragon Group. Not just Xu Long; basically, everyone from the Dragon Group qualified to be here had come.

At this moment, most of the gazes from the fifty-plus people in the room were also on him. Regardless of whether Lu Ce knew the people here, at least everyone here knew him.

"Is there something on my face..."

"There's your transforming mask," Xie Antong said beside him, startling Lu Ce.

Ever since she gained this somewhat heaven-defying ability, she always appeared like a ghost.

"Everyone here?"

A vast, distant voice suddenly echoed throughout the space, and the figure of the Arbitrator materialized.

"Congratulations, everyone, for entering that Gate of Life and Death, choosing the shortest path to the end of life—namely, death."

"I didn't expect so many people to oppose, to obstruct the evolution of the entire world."

"Of course, you are also the most ambitious people in this world. If any of you manage to survive one of these encounters by chance, you will also have the opportunity to attain the extraordinary. But unfortunately, the final outcome is still only death."

As he spoke, he gently waved his hand. Instantly, earth-shaking shouts erupted in the previously quiet space—massive curses.

"Would you like to hear the voices of these people? The voices of these people whose dreams of participating in the game you have blocked?"

The Arbitrator said with a smile. The deafening curses were hard to distinguish, seeming like a pure form of spiritual attack, shaking this space.

A large portion of the people here had come with the idea of saving the world, of preventing it from becoming a pasture for the game.

Being cursed and attacked by the very world they wanted to save was naturally the best means to shake their resolve.

Xu Long snorted coldly, wanting to speak up and reiterate the world-ending nature of the game, but someone spoke before him.

The seven-colored flowing light on Lu Ce's mask swirled, forming a mocking smiley face as he spoke:

"Among these curses, are they all from humans? Are there any curses mixed in from you gods? If so, that would be truly delightful to hear."

Sun also cracked his knuckles:

"We achieve our own dreams precisely by crushing the dreams of others. What's the problem?"

Within the pure white space, the curses slowly dissipated. Those who remained unfazed by the other side's slander at such a moment were the true resistance.

The Arbitrator also ceased such petty tactics.

"Alright, since everyone has made their choice, I don't wish to say more."

"Next, I will explain the rules of the game."

"Starting today, all games you participate in hereafter will have no other difficulty distinctions, only one mode—the God's Chosen mode."

"From now on, every subsequent game will be considered automatic participation for you. You have no right to refuse participation until death."

"You will face the gods within the game, competing and contending with the gods in the same game."

"If you defeat the corresponding god in a wager, you will directly obtain a portion of Their power, becoming a spokesperson for the god, briefly enjoying the wonders of another level."

"When the last person among you dies here, the game will have no more roadblocks. People will realize the dream of a universal game. I believe that day is not too far off."

Defeat a god?!

This topic was honestly a bit humorous. Although few here had truly seen a god, everyone had watched Sin's game and knew what kind of power that was.

They could only pin their hopes on the wager rules not being the kind where they just start fighting directly.

"Having stepped through the Gate of Life and Death, regret is too late. Everyone has heard the rules clearly. Since we've chosen the day, why not today..."

"The first God's Chosen game, begins!"

With that, his illusory figure vanished from the space. That white light door appeared once again beside each person.

Xie Antong's brow furrowed slightly. From the sound of it, this mode seemed like it would be completely every man for himself...

"Everyone." Suddenly, Sun laughed heartily amidst the crowd. "I hope you're not all dead by the time I come out next."

"Especially you!" He glanced at Lu Ce.

With that, he was the first to step through the light door before him, choosing to join the game directly.

"You'll most likely still face Pleasure," Lu Ce turned and said to Xie Antong beside him.

"You think this is completely individual combat? Then who will face you?" Xie Antong asked.

"Heh... that depends on who takes on this job." The swirling eyes on the mask looked at the door before him.

He knew clearly, regardless of how others' games went, the one he faced definitely wouldn't be a random match!

The two didn't say anything more, exchanging a glance. At a time like this, warnings and worries were just excessive suspicion.

They simply each stepped through the Gate of Life and Death before them!

But strangely, after Lu Ce had already entered the door, Xie Antong couldn't enter. The door before her retreated one meter!
