Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Novel

After the body disappeared in the Palace of inheritance, back in King Yao’s realm Hou Yi opened the eyes of his original body and he couldn’t help but feel frustrated. His aura ran rampant and the whole palace shook.

He really wanted to kill Sam right now. His killing intent made all the maids and servants feel extremely suffocated.

But he didn’t dare do anything, he didn’t even dare to break the deal with Sam and just escape during the fight when he humiliated by exploding the grenade in his ass.

He is afraid that The Gambler would lose all cordiality with him. He already made enough enemies, there is no need to speed up his own death.

He could only curse his luck before closing his eyes once again. Even after all this happened, he has to give the rewards he promised.

But he didn’t have face to do that himself so he handed over everything to the avatar and stayed put.

Sam took the rewards he was promised along with the list of the names.

Actually, the reason he took the list is not solely for pissing them off, but to get the names of the gods participating in this game.

From what he knew the gods didn’t want to reveal the information about themselves before their turn in the Palace of inheritance.

Now that Sam has the names of some people, he can not only expect their tests, he can also prepare for them all while estimating their character traits and for starters, the people in the list are easily swayed by benefits.

These people are also someone he has to be careful about in the future Palace of inheritances and their players might become his future enemies.

When they came out, every player and the candidate has three protective charms on them so that they could save themselves in this Undead realm.

After all, as soon as they came out of the cave, the next game would begin and until their three charms are used up they wouldn’t be able to return.

They all had a pretty heavy day as they couldn’t accept the fact that Arkiv was almost killed by his own patron.

Sam’s friends took off on their boards and foot as they searched for a place to stay meanwhile Sam took Arkiv with him to a relatively desolate place along with his friends and took out a bow and three arrows.

"This is the reward Hou Yi prepared. Generally, every Palace of Inheritance is just a platform for the gods to give these treasures to their players and the rest of the players are just competing to snatch them away.

This is prepared by him for you.

Even though I don’t feel guilty taking these rewards after winning the competition, I do feel guilty for all the torment you have been through. So, please take this as my way of apologizing."

Arkiv hesitated a bit before taking the bow and the three arrows.

"Thank you."

"Even though you are out of danger, it will take a while for you to be ready for fighting. I can get you back home if you want. You can just rest in my city and you will be safe."

"No don’t worry. I am okay. All I would need is fifteen days of rest and I would be as good as new. I can manage."

"Okay then, stay these fifteen days with me. I have some medicine and pills, you can recover properly. After that, you can go wherever you want."

"Sure."

Watt who went around to scout the place to find a place to live came back and said.

"There is a cave nearby. But it is occupied by some Bats. It would need some time to clean up, but it is relatively hidden and wide enough for us to be comfortable. There is not much of activity in that area."

Meanwhile, Philip and Jack also returned and reported the situation.

"There is some activity there, we saw some wights and some ghouls hunting some undead creatures of this land. They seemed to be looking for some experience. There are really too many traces of battle.

Arman and Chatur also came with similar reports.

Now, only that bat cave seems to be their only option.

They went to the bat cave.

The beasts are mostly Nascent stage ones and a few Pre-transcendent stage beasts, the final one is a middle-stage Pre-transcendent stage.

Since these beasts come under the category of beasts that don’t have sublevels individually so a Pre-transcendent middle-stage beast gives twenty points.

He let them deal with the beasts. He wanted to capture the beasts at first, but when he saw the skeletons inside, he lost interest. They are too bloodthirsty and too hungry for blood.

Even if he tamed them and let his subordinates take them in, they wouldn’t be able to control their nature.

After confirming this, he just went on with a slaughter. He has locusts and termites to feed.

Anyway, most of the beasts are not valid for evaluation, but for the beasts valid for evaluation, he decided to experiment.

For the first Pre-transcendent stage beasts, the termite queen killed her and Sam received the points. The same wrist screen that was available for their first game is still working.

He could see his points there.

The second was killed by him throwing a large boulder on it and this also worked.

The third one was trapped in a completely physical trap and Jack killed it. This didn’t count.

The fourth one was a complete physical trap which worked, the fifth one is a kill through his puppet which also worked.

The final test was done with something he prepared. He took out a vine from the divine dimension and planted it in the soil and dropped the beast on it.

The vine entangled the beast and started sucking the energy dry and soon enough the beast died. Sam looked at his screen all this while and when he saw the difference in points, he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

He immediately burned the whole corpse with the vine which is undergoing some changes after the kill and turned both of them into ashes.

He used his golden flames to completely burn it and only stopped after the ashes are scattered.

Now he left the remaining beasts to Arman and Arkiv to make some points.

After that, the four shadows were left to clean the place. Then he burned everything in the cave for good five minutes until the walls turned red and almost melted.

Bats are creatures that are so dangerous that even breathing the smell of their excretion will cause some viral infection. This realm is dangerous enough, he doesn’t want any extra trouble.

After arranging everything, Sam finally left the area with Watt to see around.

He has to find the habitats of the Pre-transcendent creatures in this area as that would be the perfect place to start his plan.

And soon they got some places and Sam marked a single place which has more traffic of the Pre-transcendent creatures.

He went there with Watt and he took some flowers out of the divine dimension. He held the flower in his hands and blew on the pollen gently.

He roamed around in this empty area to do the same with some more flowers and finally, he took out a small vine and planted it in that area before leaving with Watt and reaching the cave.

He drew a simple map of the territory and showed the marked territory to the rest of the teammates which they should avoid.

Apart from that, they can do whatever they want. After all, they are here for the experience.

But since it is their first day in the cave, they decided to celebrate by cooking something. Sam took out a high-level boar from the divine dimension and started cooking a pork curry and made some roti flatbread with the wheat flour.

He tried his best to imitate the Coorg pork curry but it didn’t work out as there are not enough spices, but it is still a satisfying meal to have after such a shitty experience in the Palace of inheritance.

Meanwhile, the place where he planted the small vine, a corpse of small rate type beast which turned into undead passed by, but the vine extended and caught hold of the rat which made it wriggle to get out.

But it turned out to be futile as the flesh of the rat was decayed and only the carcass was left behind, the vine retracted back and there are some new leaves that appeared on it.

The smaller beasts are coming like that for the rest of the day and the vine caught them before finally a bud appeared on the vine and it soon bloomed with the appearance of more beasts.

The flower that bloomed is extremely similar to the flower Sam blew the pollen off of.

But it has a green hue. In fact, the flowers that he blew off are also different. One has a red hue and another one has a yellow hue.

When a gentle wind blew, the green-hued pollen was carried away and the flower wilted.
