Chapter 1031: If you can ascend to godhood, so can I

Hang didn’t get away so easily.

Bassol suffered such a devastating loss, how could he let it go?

The primary losses were felt in two areas.

There was no prioritization; both were painful.

First, his kingdom suffered a crushing blow from Gu Hang.

Regardless of whether Gu Hang subsequently fled, from the very beginning of the Storm Kingdom’s arrival, Gu Hang’s aura and actions were all aimed at destroying his Universal Furnace. He threw

all his might from the outset. The all-out clash between the two kingdoms was sudden and terrifying.

Bassol was first caught off guard, secondly, he hadn’t expected Gu Hang’s decisiveness, and most importantly, he was reluctant to reap the fruits of victory that was about to be reaped in the real universe.

These three factors put him at a significant disadvantage from the start, resulting in a severe blow to his kingdom,

a blow that could be considered fundamental.

Second, he ultimately failed to maintain his gains in the real universe.

After being forced to withdraw his full attention, his avatar’s combat effectiveness plummeted. Then, when the Divine Kingdom suffered a heavy blow, the affected avatars perished at Leon’s sword.

Suddenly, the tide of battle on Yusheng Planet was turned upside down.

The Chaos forces, already engaged in a full-scale strategic counterattack, were pushed back.

Furthermore, humanity continued to pour reinforcements onto Yusheng Planet. Under Leon’s leadership and command, they seemed poised to defy the hostile environment and completely purify and occupy the planet.

At that point, the “artifact” Bassol had crafted from the key fragments he had spent countless years and at great expense, collaborating with Alchaton, would fall into human hands.

These two events were enough to inflict a deep hatred on Gu Hang, the cause of all this.

He would not let Gu Hang go.

Nor could he simply swallow his anger, lick his wounds, and then return to harass Gu Hang once he had recovered.

The reason was simple—even now, he still refused to give up his artifact.

The outcome seemed decided, but in reality, it wasn’t.

Bassol believed he still had a chance to turn the tables.

Of course, his previous “bets” had already been lost. To turn things around, he’d naturally have to stake a bigger stake, risking a larger portion of his wealth.

Bassol hesitated for a moment,

but quickly put his hesitation aside.

The indignation was one factor, a relatively minor one.

The more important factor was, if he accepted and let it go this time, would he still have a chance?

Quite possibly none.

His quiet persuasion of Archadon, the Chaos Warmaster, chosen by the Four Gods, was a stroke of genius. Their partnership hinged on his ability to gather the artifacts and unlock the so-called “ancient weapon.”

Now that he had failed, would Archadon still maintain his close cooperation?

And could he find anyone else to work with besides Archadon? Perhaps

the Four Gods had overlooked him last time, neglected him, or perhaps, for various reasons, had indulged him. But will there be another chance next time?

And, now that Yushengxing has fallen into the hands of the empire and Gu Hang, will there be a chance to take it back later?

These are all questions.

If he doesn’t continue the gamble now, he’s afraid that by the time he’s healed his wounds, there won’t even be a place to buy a ticket to the game!

Want to place a higher stakes?

Then go ahead!

Someone has already given him a good example.

That’s Gu Hang himself!

In the battle that just happened, why was Gu Hang able to gain a huge advantage in an instant and quickly inflict a heavy blow to him?

Isn’t it because Gu Hang is ruthless and resolute enough?

There was no probing in the middle, let alone communication. As soon as the fight started, the entire Storm Divine Kingdom pressed forward to beat him to death.

Had Gu Hang ever considered the consequences of failure?

If he rushed forward like this, he might succeed, but what if he failed?

Gu Hang’s kingdom of God would be destroyed.

But he went all-in and won.

Bassol had learned a profound lesson.

He had to learn from Gu Hang, and be resolute and decisive in such a critical moment.

When failure would mean a loss, what else could he wait for but to risk everything?

Go ahead!

…

Bassol’s relentless pursuit was exactly what Gu Hang had expected.

Using all his strength to storm the Universal Furnace seemed reckless… well, it was indeed reckless.

But that so-called ‘recklessness’ was actually part of Gu Hang’s plan.

Some of Bassol’s insights were correct.

For Gu Hang, he could never accept Bassol’s deification, nor could he accept that so-called ancient weapon being in the hands of humanity’s greatest enemy.

Unlike some alien adversaries, the Chaos Warmaster, having obtained the so-called ancient weapon, had little thought as to who he would use it on.

Rather than a desperate struggle later, it was better to give it his all now.

This was a plan driven by

motivation. While seemingly reckless, it was actually a carefully considered, all-out effort.

Gu Hang also had various considerations regarding the aftermath.

If Bassol simply admitted defeat, that would be the best option.

While relentless pursuit would be troublesome, there were also ways to counter it.

During the pursuit, Gu Hang’s first concern was to determine if there were any other intruders in his fight with Bassol.

This was the main reason why Gu Hang had been pursued without responding.

And so far, it seemed like no one was interfering.

And that was perfectly normal.

Why would Gu Hang intervene against Bassol?

No one wanted Bassol to rise to the next level.

Many beings in the Warp would welcome Gu Hang’s intervention to stop Bassol.

And now, Gu Hang had seemingly succeeded. Bassol, if not completely stopped, at least had lost his chance.

Next, Bassol wanted to seek revenge, but no one intervened.

Since this guy has lost the opportunity to move up one step, it would be fun to watch him beat up Gu Hang.

This is also good, Gu Hang is very happy.

Anyway, he never expected anyone to help him.

On this basis, no one came to make trouble, isn’t that good news?

Furthermore, if Bassol didn’t chase him, Gu Hang would have given up; since that guy came to chase him, it actually gave Gu Hang an opportunity.

Bassol can rely on the so-called magic weapon to get a chance to move up one step, then Gu Hang… does he also have a similar opportunity?

After all, if you really compare, he is only one step away from moving up one level.
