Shadow Hack

The system’s words brought Li Yunmu back to his senses. He pushed the gate wider while sensing a threatening cold presence inside. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath upon seeing it, then he suddenly leapt down. After entering the gate, the tip of his feet fell upon an overhanging cliff.

After Li Yunmu entered the water seal’s gate, he discovered that his new surroundings were different from those in the fire seal. They were in a complete mess, and at the center, there was a very special spell formation. Similar to how it was with the fire seal, he had to open the spell formation to obtain the black box before he could leave.

Based on his last time’s experience in opening the fire seal, Li Yunmu began to search for some clues and soon found marks on the wall.

“This is…” Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes and calmly said, “This is… Scandinavia’s legend?”

Inside his body, the system also spoke up. [Every region’s seal is closely linked to the master god of that region. Do you remember the person about whom the mural in the fire seal was talking about?]

Li Yunmu nodded. “It was Pangu! So it could be said that Pangu is the master god of Ancient Lands. Then the master god of Land of Ice… This giant, why does he resemble Odin so much?”

[Odin is only the king of the numerous gods in Land of Ice, but isn’t their master god. The master god of Scandinavia is Ymir, who is also snow giant.

[The snow giants of Scandinavia all resemble each other, so it is very hard to differentiate between them. This time, I don’t know where we should start nor where exactly we could find the seal.]

Li Yunmu searched inside the cave for a long time, because only after obtaining the seal could he leave the spell formation. Otherwise he would be eternally trapped inside it.

[I have already forgotten about the records of Ymir. After being dormant for so long, many of my memories have started to become hazy.]

“Seems like this isn’t related to opening the seal.”

While talking, Li Yunmu began to thump against the walls of the cave in hopes to discover some clues. As expected, he soon found the mechanism to trigger the spell formation.

Li Yunmu smiled slightly and said, “In the end, I still found it! I have already opened two seals so shouldn’t you give me some reward?”

The system paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke up in an alert tone, [There seems to be an abnormal presence in Scandinavia. It doesn’t belong to a person of the Origin World, but is is really similar to yours. He must have come from Earth too!]

“Presence? What do you mean?” Li Yunmu frowned, then his eyes lit up as if he had realized something. “Could it be that someone who wants to get rid of me has come? Just perfect, I also want to see who exactly he is! Why does he want to get ahold of me?”

Li Yunmu operated the mechanism, and the spell formation’s seal was immediately opened. At the center of it, there was another black box as he had expected.

Li Yunmu knew that the black box contained the secrets related to the system, so he carefully stored it in the system’s place then left the center of the spell formation.

With a ‘sou’ sound, he returned to the gate to Scandinavia. He really wanted to know who exactly was the person who wanted to deal with him. Furthermore, he had come from Earth, so he really was asking for death!

[Be careful, the presence is approaching us.]

While Li Yunmu was thinking about returning to the imperial palace, a black shadow attacked him from behind. An energy attack flew straight at him.

Sure enough, as the system had warned, a person who wanted to assassinate Li Yunmu had appeared. What exactly was his aim though? Why was he so intent on killing him?

From the time Li Yunmu had left the western world, someone with ulterior motives had been spreading information about the decrease in his strength. What exactly was their goal though? Was it only to eliminate Scandinavia? But it shouldn’t be so simple, right?

The attackers abilities were somewhat out of the ordinary, but when compared to Li Yunmu, who was a god level expert, he was nothing much. There was a wide gap between their strengths.

The attacker wasn’t anyone else but the person who had come chasing after Li Yunmu from Earth to the Origin World, Cass. He had waited for who knows how long to finally appear in front of Li Yunmu.

The information about his enemy sustaining injuries showed up to really be false. Just as the people of Cangyue Sect had said, he shouldn’t have taken action before confirming the information. But he couldn’t endure it and had fallen into Li Yunmu’s trap.

At that moment, retreating was already impossible for Cass. Since he had chosen to ride on a tiger, he could only brace himself to fight against Li Yunmu.

“Who sent you? Since you came from Earth, then I very much want to know who sent you?” Li Yunmu said calmly.

Cass’ mask fell, and he coldly looked at Li Yunmu. “This old man’s homeland was destroyed by you!” he shouted out furiously. “No one sent me! I want to avenge my homeland! Until the day you die, I will keep trying to take revenge against you!”

“So you are an expert from one of the parallel planes. I feel an obligation to tell you the truth, which is that I didn’t want to devour your plane, but that fate didn’t give me any other way. I had to choose this road to protect my family and friends, even if it forced me to devour the other planes.

“But even if I didn’t devour them, the sixty-six planes would have fused together, and do you think your home plane would have been fine at that time?”

Li Yunmu’s words startled Cass, but he still had a vicious expression on his face. With fury, he said, “I don’t care whether what you said is true or false! Right now, you are the person who killed my family and friends so I cannot let you go!”

After hearing the firmness in the enemy’s voice, Li Yunmu felt somewhat helpless. But since the situation had already developed to that point and the opponent was persisting on going about things the wrong way, he could only teach that enemy a lesson!

Cass launched an extremely powerful punch which rushed toward Li Yunmu with a whistling sound. Li Yunmu was slightly startled upon seeing it. That punch could be said to be extremely overbearing, and it showed off Cass’ strength.

But Li Yunmu could clearly sense that the difference between his strength and Cass’ was gigantic. Stil, the man had crossed seas and mountains to take revenge with his measly strength, which Li Yunmu found both ridiculous and somewhat sympathetic.

After all, when Li Yunmu thought of himself, he had also come to the Origin World disregarding everything and done many ridiculous things.

He took a deep breath, then suddenly unleashed a punch with full strength. It was much more formidable compared to Cass’ punch, and forced the man back.
