I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 292 - 291: Internal Conflict!
Chapter 292: Chapter 291: Internal Conflict!
Translator: 549690339
One hour passed quickly and at this moment, the breaths of the five Heavenly Court war gods entirely hitched.
“So this is the World’s Will?”
“Is it there?” Du Gang muttered, at this moment, he felt an impalpable presence focusing on him, as if at any second, it could rip him apart!
However, he quickly recomposed himself and promptly said: “Head north, right now!”
He had previously asked Kou Yingwu specifically and knew that the World’s Will could keep its gaze upon them for a maximum of one minute.
So, they needed to show an indication of their intention of heading north within this one minute.
The others, who were also briefed by Du Gang in advance, did not utter a single word and ran straight north.
At the moment, their escape was not staged; truely, they were escaping. Because that oppressive, suffocating feeling made them extremely uncomfortable!
There was no one behind them, but they were like panicked prey being hunted by some terrifying entity, running frantically.
For an entire minute, they were overwhelmed by this intimidation; until the end of the minute, when the purple energy of the Heavenly Court finally appeared, completely engulfing all five of them.
“Keep running, first out of this area…”
Kou Yingwu clearly had more experience, despite also feeling the discomfort, he still reminded everyone.
This is because even though the Heavenly Court’s energy had evicted the World’s Will for the time being, the last location it remained was right here. Therefore, it was necessary to escape from this area.
Thus, under the cover of the purple energy, the group rushed off without following a specific route, managing to escape some distance before finally stopping.
“Whew~~”
All five of them exhaled deeply, their expressions only relaxed at this point. If someone were to touch their backs at this moment, they would find them soaked with sweat.
“So that is the World’s Will?”
They were currently in a woodland reserve. Lan Zhize did not care whether it was clean or not and just lay straight down on the ground.
“That was too terrifying. I thought I was going to die there!”
Upon hearing this, Du Gang squinted his eyes and asked, “Haven’t you already gone through a mission before? Didn’t you encounter the World’s Will in the previous world?”
No!”
Lan Zhize shook his head directly, “The last mission was relatively simple, the task was just to steal local treasures…”
“Steal treasures?”
Du Gang was taken aback, finding this explanation strange.
What could you do with stolen treasures?
Does the Heavenly Court have such a requirement?
“Haha!”
Upon hearing this, Kou Yingwu laughed, “The so-called treasures are things that are useful to the Heavenly Court, they may not necessarily be useful for us!”
Du Gang nodded, didn’t pry further, but turned his head towards Tao Xuanzhu and said: “Miss Tao, next, it will be your turn to go east…”
Since he knew that Tao Xuanzhu had the ability to fly on a sword, naturally he had to make the best use of it.
At this stage, her reconnaissance abilities could be used to look at the terrain and determine the next location to expose—it would be the best option.
He had barely gotten halfway through his sentence when Jia Xiangming interjected: “Are you really going to have the goddess be our scout?”
Hearing this, Du Gang did not respond to him, but first looked at Kou Yingwu, noticing that he didn’t have much of a reaction, then at Lan Zhize, who also had no reaction, before finally turning to look at Jia Xiangming.
He calmly said, “By saying that, are you trying to stir up trouble?”
If Lan Zhize and Kou Yingwu were ordinary men, they should have been prompted to express resentment by now.
The previously harmonious team suddenly became tense.
The other three, including Tao Xuanzhu, all looked over.
Jia Xiangming was feeling cornered, he hadn’t expected Du Gang to point it out so directly, and he quickly revealed an awkward expression, saying: “No, no, I was just worried about the goddess…”
“Heh Heh!”
Du Gang chuckled lightly, “If you truly admired her, why didn’t you watch her silhouette fade away when she left?”
“Hmm?”
All four were taken aback, not understanding what he meant.
Du Gang’s mouth corner curled into a smug smile, then he turned his head to face Lan Zhize. “Before the World’s Will arrived, Tao Xuanzhu went to investigate using her flying sword technique. How did she look then?”
“She looked amazing!” free𝑤ebnovel.com
Lan Zhize quickly remembered and praised it. It was sincere. At that time, Tao Xuanzhu’s silhouette greatly resembled a fairy soaring into the sky.
Du Gang continued, “Do you feel that you are admiring Tao Xuanzhu?”
Lan Zhize held his breath, somewhat shocked—this guy, is he being rude, discussing such things in front of a lady?
He quickly looked at Tao Xuanzhu, seeing her eyes were very clear, without any unnecessary impurities. He understood at once—she did not care about these things.
So, he said, “I wouldn’t say I’m admiring her, but yes, I do appreciate her!”
After hearing this, Tao Xuanzhu showed no variation in her expression, only looked at Du Gang as if she was confused about why he was asking.
Du Gang nodded, looked back at Jia Xiangming, and asked: “You said you admire Miss Tao, do you remember what you were doing at the time?”
Jia Xiangming immediately realized something— he was…

Inspecting his equipment!
Du Gang grinned, “You were fiddling with your weapon at that time. Even Lan Zhize, who doesn’t admire Tao Xuanzhu, couldn’t help but stare at her silhouette until it disappeared. Let alone someone who admires her?”
“From this, it can be easily seen that your admiration is false, it’s all just a pretense!”
Hearing this, even Kou Yingwu couldn’t help but nod. “Indeed, Tao Xuanzhu’s silhouette at that time was indeed pleasing to the eye, and a normal man’s attention would not deviate…”
Having said that, he took another look at Jia Xiangming, then once more at Du Gang.
Even during those tense moments, this guy still had the leisure to observe others. Doesn’t this mean that he’s on guard every moment?
Jia Xiangming opened his mouth a few times, but in the end, still couldn’t come up with anything to say, so he silently lowered his head.
After a pause, he lifted his head again.
“I’m sorry, I indeed deceived you all…”
“No!”
At this point, Du Gang shook his head, “The issue is not that you deceived us, we’re only a temporary team after all, it’s normal to have secrets from each other!”
His piercing gaze fixed on Jia Xiangming, “The point is, we obviously have no reason for infighting, so why do you want to stir trouble?”
The other three also realized where the problem lay, shifting their steps inconspicuously to surround Jia Xiangming in the center.
Clearly, the trio had also begun to question their trust in him!
Jia Xiangming saw this scene, his face constantly changing colors from pale to purple.
“You motherfucker! We are clearly all teammates and have the same mission, why are you trying to stir up trouble?”
Kou Yingwu was the most furious, he had always detested these two-faced, back-stabbing individuals.
Contrarily, Lan Zhize did put some more thought into it and frowned, “What do you think, is it possible that his mission is different from ours?!”
“Different?”
Everyone was taken aback for a moment. Very quickly, the three of them turned their heads to look at Du Gang, as if waiting for his opinion.
From this, it could be seen that in their hearts, Du Gang was a symbol of wisdom. His opinions had become very important.
After pondering for a moment, Du Gang quickly shook his head, “The chances are slim!”
“The relationship between Heavenly Court and the small world is not enough to make Jia Xiangming oppose us!”
“Compared to that, I think it is his own decision!”
Upon hearing this, Jia Xiangming finally regained his composure, his previously feigned lustful stupidity vanished completely.
“I didn’t expect the Southern Wilderness to produce a person like you…”
Du Gang shrugged, “I’m not much of a person. We’re all just God Spirit Level beings, not able to make big impacts on the continent. You should just tell us what’s your problem!”
Jia Xiangming paused for two seconds, then started speaking,” My real name is Jia Yizhen. I was raised in an environment full of deception. Manipulation and watching from the sidelines are in my nature…”
“I just habitually create conflicts between others, so I can seem insignificant and not attract attention!”
The truth was exactly what he showed: a lustful, pretentious persona.
In his black-masked guise, he naturally gave off an impression of mediocrity, but actually, this was also his disguise. He was doing all this deliberately.
“How do you plan to deal with me?”
Although he said this, there was no sign of him surrendering. Moreover, the confidence emanating from him indicated his hidden strength was not weak!
His cultivation as a sixth-level God Spirit gave him the confidence, he must have the means to instantly kill two ninth-level ones!
Du Gang made a preliminary judgment immediately.
Kou Yingwu did not speak, but looked at Du Gang, signalling him to make the decision.
Others also did the same, showing enough respect for Du Gang.
With a sudden chuckle, Du Gang said, “Deal with you?”
“Why should we deal with you?”
He said indifferently, “Our main mission is to kill the Child of Destiny, everything else is secondary!”
“You said yourself, causing discord is just a habit, and it hasn’t caused any bad consequences…”
“So as long as you cooperate closely with us to complete the mission in the upcoming time, we won’t deliberately make it difficult for you!”
“After all, our goal is the same!”
Listening to this, Kou Yingwu and others couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
In their hearts, they shared the same thought.
How Jia Xiangming’s character was, did not matter to them. Once they leave this world, they will be strangers again, so why bother too much?
For everyone, completing the mission and safely leave the small world is the most important thing!
Du Gang’s decision could be said to be in line with everyone’s interest.
Even Jia Xiangming appreciated his way of handling things.
He was ready to kill the four of them but it seems now there’s no need to play his trump card!
Jia Xiangming grinned, nodding, “Don’t worry everyone, from now on, I am totally focused on the mission and won’t cause any trouble…”
After all, better to stay out of trouble when possible!
Having settled this matter, Du Gang then continued with the previous business, looking over at Tao Xuanzhu for confirmation.
Tao Xuanzhu didn’t hesitate, she nodded, and while taking out a flying sword, she asked, “Just like last time?”
Du Gang smiled, “Exactly, mainly find a Nature Reserve, then identify the route to the west of this reserve…”
While speaking, he suddenly moved his lips silently a couple of times.
A secret message!
The other three in the scene were all taken aback, wondering what Du Gang meant by that.
A secret message just for Tao Xuanzhu?
Tao Xuanzhu’s expression also showed a slight change, she looked around and finally nodded, then she flew out on her sword and left.
After she left, Kou Yingwu stepped forward and frowned, “Du Gang, that’s not fair. You just mentioned Jia Xiangming’s issue, what do you mean by this now?”
Lan Zhize also looked displeased, “Did you say something you don’t want Jia Xiangming to hear? Then you should send a secret message to me too…”
Jia Xiangming grimaced, did they really need to blatantly talk like he wasn’t there?
Du Gang just gave a faint smile and shook his head, “It’s nothing. I can promise you, whatever I said, it was all for the mission, and there is no other purpose!”
Hearing him say this, the others didn’t pursue any further and started preparing on their own.
In a short while, there was a distant faint boom, the sound of something exploding.
“They’re here!”
This was a trap set by Du Gang and his team in the rear, fairly weak, but mainly to determine the location of the pursuers.
Their arrival would undoubtedly induce a reaction from the world will, which naturally would have the local powers chasing after them.
Lan Zhize looked excited, “Wonder if their remaining four Main Gods are among these pursuers!”
The four Main Gods, are the four strongest level-nine divine spirits in this small world.
Kou Yingwu also seemed eager to fight, “Du Gang, I say, we should have a go first, see how powerful they are. If we can handle it, I will just kill them all and save us all the trouble…”
Du Gang shook his head, “There will be an opportunity for you to take action, for now, let’s proceed as I’ve suggested…”
He was mentally timing, and soon when the time he had predicted arrived he said, “Kou Yingwu, you can go now!”
“Understood!”
Kou Yingwu nodded in acknowledgement, took the equipment he had prepared, and swiftly headed in a certain direction.
After he left, only three remained in the field. This time, both Jia Xiangming and Lan Zhize remained silent, quietly waiting for Du Gang’s command.
After a few minutes, Du Gang swiftly said, “Lan Zhize, it’s your turn!”
“Okay!”
As Lan Zhize nodded, he darted out swiftly, heading in a different direction.
In the same fashion, a few minutes later Jia Xiangming also left the place.
After they left, Du Gang chose the fourth direction.
He was testing the four-direction tactic, causing disruptions in these four directions and watching how the pursuing forces react, in order to understand the thoughts of the world will.
Because, the world will knew the location of the Child of Destiny!
This time, his testing methods were not as simple as just four directions. Besides, in each direction, he used some tricks to narrow down the area through continuous testing, to finally determine the Child of Destiny’s location.
This was like a game where the world will was the NPC. Certain actions of the players would trigger a response from the NPC to accomplish their goals!
