Global Awakening: Eavesdropping on the SSS-level School Beauty's Inner Voice-Chapter 97 - 96 Do not look directly! Indescribable! Do not listen to its whispers! Do not call its name directly!
Chapter 97: Chapter 96 Do not look directly! Indescribable! Do not listen to its whispers! Do not call its name directly!
Following Teacher Tianshui, Lin Tianming quickly fled the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, and again he saw numerous corpses.
Just like the ones they had stopped to observe before, these individuals had died in extreme terror, their expressions and bodies twisted beyond recognition.
This also made Lin Tianming somewhat unable to suppress his curiosity about the Deceit God.
During this time, he paid attention to the inner thoughts of Tianshui, Ye Qingxue, and Feng Lan; unfortunately, he could only hear their fears about the Deceit God and not any more detailed information related to it.
They had all once been gods, so why were they so terrified of the Deceit God?
Overcome with curiosity about what exactly the Deceit God was, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but ask Tianshui at the front.
"Teacher Tianshui, these people died in such a bizarre and horrifying manner, can you discern anything from it?"
Unexpectedly, before Tianshui could respond, Ye Qingxue, who was holding his arm, quickly interjected, advising him not to ask too much.
"Brother Tianming, don’t ask; knowing too much right now is not good!"
[It’s definitely the Deceit God; we cannot discuss that thing in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm, it will make us targeted!]
Feng Lan also agreed, whispering softly, "Tianming, spare yourself any random thoughts, we can talk in detail after we get out!"
[Deceit God is not something one can discuss cavalierly, especially in a place where the Deceit God might have already awakened and descended!]
Moreover, Tianshui in front didn’t directly answer Lin Tianming’s question.
"Little Brother Tianming, these people indeed died in a peculiar way; to avoid ending up like them, let’s get out of here first!"
[The more you know, the more you think, the more likely it is to attract the Deceit God, let’s escape before the Deceit God here sets its sights on us!]
Seeing that each of their words and inner thoughts were cautiously saying things in riddles to him, Lin Tianming’s curiosity grew even stronger.
Before, Tianshui mentioned in her thoughts, the Deceit God and the gods from the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms are beings far surpassing Divine Realm Demons.
In theory, the Deceit God should be similar to the gods of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms, right?
She had lived through the era when the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms descended and had fought against the Divine Country’s Gods,
Yet, she also fears the Deceit God?
Wait...
Something came to mind, and Lin Tianming began searching his memory of his previous encounter with the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny of the Mechanical Divine Country.
His rapid recollection also reminded him that the Mechanical Mainbrain Destiny mentioned the Deceit God.
A millennium ago, the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms, belonging to the same world, had to abandon the world Lin Tianming was currently in because they couldn’t defeat the Deceit God, and they sealed themselves off to escape it.
Even the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms had to forsake their original land, which was the world they were in now, it seems this Deceit God... apparently really is something formidable!
Contemplating the scant information about the Deceit God he understood, Lin Tianming suddenly felt his heart sink, as if something was watching him.
This feeling... It was very similar to the terrifying eyes he encountered when he subdued the Ice Crystal Bell!
At the same time, Lin Tianming also heard the inner voices of Ye Qingxue, Feng Lan, and Tianshui sensing that they had been targeted.
[We’ve tried our best not to discuss the Deceit God, but are we still targeted? In my previous life, I never entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm and had no idea that there was also a Deceit God here!]
[Now we’re in trouble, even if I have the Wind God Pearl, with my current ten-level strength, can I really escape the Deceit God’s hunting and leave this Ice and Snow Secret Realm?]
[The Deceit God which was suppressed in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm during my previous life did not return to this world until I was trapped for several days, why did it awaken tonight just after we entered?]
Listening to their ominous inner voices, what concerned Lin Tianming most was Tianshui’s voice because it provided him a critical piece of information.
The suppressed Deceit God could actually revive?
Returning to this world... what does that mean?
Could it be that the Deceit God is undead?
Before Lin Tianming could figure this out, he felt something rapidly approaching him from behind.
He wanted to turn around to see exactly what it was, so he could prepare to deal with it.
However, seeing his intent to look back, Ye Qingxue immediately stopped him: "Don’t turn around, Brother Tianming!"
Tianshui, who was leading the way running in front, hearing that Lin Tianming actually wanted to look back, also shouted a reminder to him while facing away.
"Do not look directly, there’s a great terror!"
Feng Lan originally wanted to warn Lin Tianming as well, but seeing that Tianshui had already spoken earlier, she continued focusing on escaping.
[The Deceit God here has already awakened, and it’s still in a state without a host body; rashly peering at it, without any Divine-level Awakened among us, the corpses on this path will be our fate.]
Hearing Feng Lan describe the consequences of looking back at the Deceit God so terrifyingly, Lin Tianming’s curiosity was again aroused.
But he did not turn back; instead, he used his senses to dodge attacks that were rapidly targeting him from behind.
Fortunately, considering Lin Tianming was an Awakened with very sharp senses, he accurately dodged the suspected attack of the Deceit God from behind.
Yet along the way, he saw the corpses being penetrated by something invisible.
Clearly, nothing was visible, yet the penetrated corpses began to emanate a strange black Qi, similar to Demonic Qi, causing their bodies to rapidly decompose beyond recognition.
Since they were already targeted, Lin Tianming felt that even if they talked about the Deceit God behind them, it probably wouldn’t matter.
Unable to hold back, Lin Tianming asked, "What is attacking us? The corpses on the ground have all been penetrated, yet I can’t see anything?"
Tianshui ahead then said, "Sometimes, not being able to see is also a form of luck; if you saw it, you would absolutely regret it."
[Deceit God, a god beyond description, by the time you see it, you are already dead.]
???
Seeing Tianshui, Ye Qingxue, and Feng Lan describe the Deceit God as so terrifying, Lin Tianming, if he were still his pre-transmigration self, might indeed have been scared.
But now he is in a world where he can awaken superpowers, and high-level Awakeners can eventually move mountains and seas; thus, Lin Tianming’s heart is filled more with curiosity than fear.
If Tianshui, Ye Qingxue, and Feng Lan could also eavesdrop on thoughts, they would definitely rebuke Lin Tianming for his stupidity.
Hmm?
At this moment, Lin Tianming heard a horrifying soul-snatching voice coming from behind.
"Body... I need a body... a human form that can help me descend into this world!"
At the same time, Tianshui, Ye Qingxue, and Feng Lan, as if stimulated by something, their bodies fleeing frantically, suddenly trembled.
Tianshui also quickly warned the three of them, "Cover your ears, don’t listen to the whispers of that guy behind, or we will all go mad!"
"Tianming, you must not listen to its whisper!"
"Brother Tianming, don’t space out, quickly cover your ears!"
Mad?
Seeing Tianshui and the others trembling, Lin Tianming, who experienced nothing unusual himself, felt a bit puzzled.
"I want a body... a body... give it to me!"
Continuing to run with Tianshui and the others, who were covering their ears, Lin Tianming heard the soul-snatching whisper coming from behind again.
Under this eerie, horrifying whisper, Ye Qingxue’s eyes slowly started bleeding tears.
"No way! Covering ears is useless, it imbued its whisper with the power to reach directly into our minds, my head feels like it’s about to explode!"
[Damn it! If I were a god, even if I might not necessarily beat it, I could at least resist this damn whisper! This mortal body is still too weak!]
Feng Lan was also like Ye Qingxue, somewhat disoriented by the whispers from behind.
"I feel my mind... about to collapse!"
Tianshui, near a top Awakened level, couldn’t resist such whispers either, her legs giving out as she, along with Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan, collapsed to the ground.
[To think that this life would witness the revival of the Deceit God in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm... Is this where I, Tianshui, end my life?]
Seeing them collapse so easily, Lin Tianming could tell that the Deceit God’s whisper, which had no effect on him, inflicted unimaginable damage on the three.
"Teacher Tianshui, Qingxue, Feng Lan, can you hear clearly what that guy behind is saying?"
Although her mind was nearly tormented mad by the whisper, Tianshui was still barely able to maintain a trace of reason.
"I can’t hear clearly... It’s not a language we can comprehend..."
Seeing Lin Tianming standing unaffected, Feng Lan’s gaze froze: "Tianming, how... how come you didn’t collapse?"
Ye Qingxue then remembered the time when she and Lin Tianming entered the Lost Land, and she was driven mad by the Beautiful Angel’s whispers residing in the Eternal Night Star Palace, but Lin Tianming had been unaffected just like now.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxue immediately told Lin Tianming: "Brother Tianming, run! Don’t worry about us, this time it’s different, since you can resist that guy’s whisper, then you definitely have a chance to escape!"
[There’s no escape for me... Good luck, Brother Tianming...]
[That incomprehensible whisper is here again! Damn... it hurts so much... my head is about to explode! I... I am going mad!]
Hearing Ye Qingxue urging him to run and her near-maddening thoughts, Lin Tianming’s face darkened.
Feng Lan and Tianshui’s thoughts, at this moment, like Ye Qingxue’s, were nearly tortured into madness.
Moreover, their bodies were also distorting erratically due to their gradually deranged minds.
"I am the Lord of Cold Winter, submit to me, become my follower, find a suitable human form for me to descend into this world, and you will get everything you desire!"
The whisper continued.
If this continues, they will definitely end up like the corpses before, driven mad by the Deceit God’s whisper, dying here twisted beyond human recognition with infinite fear and pain.
Being able to instill fear in three Goddess Reincarnators, he wanted to turn back and see the true face of this Deceit God!
Even though she was tormented badly, Ye Qingxue still kept an eye on Lin Tianming.
When she saw Lin Tianming wanting to look back, she immediately got anxious: "Brother Tianming, you must not look back, do not gaze directly at it!"
"I want to look back, see what this so-called Lord of Cold Winter is really like! Now we are not allowed to look? Probably just an ugly monster!"
Hearing Lin Tianming even calling that Deceit God as the Lord of Cold Winter, Tianshui, Ye Qingxue, and Feng Lan soon realized, Lin Tianming might have been chosen as a follower by that Deceit God, allowing him to know its name.
But such outright calling of the Deceit God’s name was a great disrespect, and could lead to terrifying, unlucky incidents!
Feng Lan also immediately said to Lin Tianming: "Tianming, you must not directly call its name!"
All along, Feng Lan, Ye Qingxue, and Tianshui have treated Lin Tianming’s thoughts and comments like riddles, and it always frustrated him.
Since he was not afraid of the whisper, he wanted to do what ordinary people dared not do!
"I want to gaze directly at it, I want to call its name, I want to listen to its whisper, I want to see how it could possibly affect me! Lord of Cold Winter? More like the Cold Winter Pig!"
Hearing Lin Tianming, with a mortal body, showing such disrespect to a Deceit God, Tianshui, Feng Lan, and Ye Qingxue all felt a chill in their hearts.
It’s over... Tianming might die even faster than them!
