Luo Chen’s brief recollection inadvertently brought forth a wave of killing intent, which instantly made the Goddess of Death feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Although she had already witnessed Luo Chen’s might inside the horror game, she originally thought that was merely due to a buff effect within the game.
In reality, Luo Chen’s actual strength definitely could not slay dragons.
But now, this trace of killing intent made Diana, the Goddess of Death, bristle with cold fear, as if she were looking at a landscape of ten thousand miles strewn with corpses and covered in endless white bones.
At this moment, cold sweat involuntarily streamed down the Goddess of Death, instantly soaking her back.
It was too terrifying. This seemingly calm man appeared capable of sweeping the world with a single burst of anger, causing heaven and earth to change colour.
It was just that this killing intent came and went quickly, otherwise the Goddess of Death would highly doubt whether she could walk out alive today.
After all, she was the Goddess of Death!
Yet now, she was frightened pale by this slight killing intent stirred up by Luo Chen.
“Mr Luo?” the Goddess of Death called out to Luo Chen somewhat timidly.
“Oh, sorry, just remembered a bit of the past.” Luo Chen smiled faintly, quickly returning to his very peaceful aura.
Only then did the Goddess of Death’s suspended heart settle. She was, after all, an international tycoon famous worldwide. To be so uneasy in front of Luo Chen, if this were told to others, who would believe it?
“Do you have any clues about the Heart of the Stars?” Luo Chen asked.
Actually, these people probably did not even know what the Heart of the Stars was used for, or rather, they did not yet have the qualification to know.
“We have no clues for the moment, but I think Mr Luo should have heard of the crystal skulls,” Diana said.
The origins of such things as crystal skulls are extremely mysterious.
In 1927, an expedition team discovered the first crystal skull in the ancient capital of the Mayan civilisation.
This crystal skull already had a history of over a thousand years. The main point is that it was genuinely made of crystal, and over a thousand years ago, crafting a skull out of crystal purely by hand was quite a difficult feat.
It was no less difficult than building the pyramids, because there was no high technology or waterjet cutting at the time, and crystal is a fragile material.
Being able to craft a crystal skull was simply an impossible thing.
Therefore, this object once became a puzzle for scientists.
Moreover, Mayan civilisation has always been mysterious and is even linked to prehistoric civilisation, so to this day, it remains a puzzle for modern scientists.
However, there is a legend about crystal skulls. The legend says that if twelve genuine crystal skulls are gathered, these skulls will speak, and within them lies the ultimate secret of human origin and death.
The news Diana received, on the other hand, was that gathering twelve crystal skulls could open the door to the Heart of the Stars.
“So, you came to China for that crystal skull?” Luo Chen asked.
However, Diana showed a bitter smile on her face and shook her head.
“That crystal skull is not in China, but in Korea. However, I do not intend to wade into this muddy water,” Diana said with a bitter smile.
“This particular crystal skull was issued as a mission by the horror game, and the reward is very generous,” Diana explained.
“But precisely because of this, Korea is now being watched covetously by major international tycoons and experts.”
“Are you not also an international tycoon? What are you afraid of?” Luo Chen became interested and asked.
The strength of the Goddess of Death was definitely not weak, a point Luo Chen knew very well.
“Hehe, Mr Luo, my status as an international tycoon is quite effective at scaring ordinary people, but it is useless if I encounter those true experts,” the Goddess of Death smiled faintly.
“For example?” Luo Chen was also very curious about who the top experts in the international arena were.
After all, if he intended to snatch the Heart of the Stars, he would inevitably have to fight these international experts.
Luo Chen naturally did not dare to be careless. After all, there is always someone better, and the earth is too mysterious. One never knows when a super expert might suddenly appear.
“The son of the Wolf King of the Snow Country, Letov!”
“The Wolf King?” Luo Chen frowned.
He had heard of the werewolf clan. Werewolves and vampires, these two beings both had significant backgrounds.
However, Luo Chen did not know much more about them.
Seeing Luo Chen look puzzled, the Goddess of Death spoke.
“Yes, Mr Luo must surely know that Emperor Napoleon once attacked the capital of the Snow Country but was defeated?”
Luo Chen did know about this matter. Emperor Napoleon was one of the four great conquerors in history. In the past, he was a figure comparable to Alexander the Great.
It could be said that he simply swept across the entire Europe, but it was in the Snow Country that he tasted his first defeat in life!
At the time, everyone said it was because of the heavy snow that caused Napoleon’s defeat.
“That battle was not lost by Napoleon because of the snow, but because the werewolf clan joined the fight,” the Goddess of Death revealed another shocking secret.
As soon as these words were spoken, even Luo Chen was somewhat amazed.
Back then, Napoleon led an army of six hundred thousand, attacking in two routes.
But Napoleon was still defeated.
If it were the cold weapon era, being repelled by the werewolf clan might not have seemed like much to Luo Chen.
But it was not the cold weapon era at that time. Those were real guns and cannons!
Using real guns and cannons to repel an army of six hundred thousand truly required some real ability and deep foundation.
After all, a force like this could rival a great nation, or even surpass it.
Wherever Napoleon’s iron cavalry went in those days, the flag of the French Emperor was planted.
So many great nations were defeated by Napoleon, yet Napoleon was defeated by the werewolf clan.
This was enough to show just how terrifying the power of the werewolf clan was.
No wonder the Snow Country was known as a fighting nation!
With this explanation, Luo Chen understood why the Goddess of Death was unwilling to wade into this muddy water.
Because if things went wrong, they might offend the werewolf clan.
Offending a force capable of defeating Napoleon’s army of six hundred thousand was obviously something no one would be stupid enough to do!
“So, this son of the Wolf King, Letov, is also a player in the death game?” Luo Chen asked again.
“Yes,” the Goddess of Death smiled gently.
“This is just one of the forces. Mr Luo, do you now understand just how terrifying this horror game is?” the Goddess of Death explained.
“The future crown prince of the werewolf clan is merely a player!”
“And this is just the tip of the iceberg among the many forces in this death game!”
This point alone was enough to show that the forces behind this death game probably already exceeded Luo Chen’s imagination.
“Then, what if I say that I also want to go snatch that crystal skull?” Luo Chen suddenly said.
“Mr Luo, you are also one of the players. If you want to go…”
“No, what I mean is that I only represent myself!” A cold smile crossed Luo Chen’s lips.
“What? Mr Luo, do you mean you want to go against the horror game?” Hearing this, the Goddess of Death jumped up at once.
