Becoming God of a Dystopian World

"So you have already guessed the meaning behind my words."

Senior Cutie glanced at Zhao Luo as they made their way towards the exit of the entry mountain.

"Then the Mo and Feng families are corrupted."

Zhao Luo mumbled with an unusual look on his face.

Zhao Luo's brows were furrowed and looked like they had joined.

"But the elder and Feng Ma aren't like that."

Zhao Luo said to Senior Cutie.

"That may be the case but in the end, the person from those families who have been appointed to see over the city only care about their wealth. Not the people of the cities they are ruling over."

Senior Cutie explained to Zhao Luo with a hard look.

'How does he know that?'

Zhao Luo realized the hardened look on his Senior's face and tried to find the reason behind this expression.

"Senior Cutie, which city are you from?"

Zhao Luo asked Senior Cutie while feeling a little reluctant since he could already presume what the answer of Senior Cutie will be.

"I am from the Fourth City but...."

Senior Cutie stopped talking as the group had reached a big gate.

"Let's talk about that later."

Senior Cutie said to Zhao Luo as his previous saddened expression vanished and a forced smile appeared on his face.

'Nod.'

Zhao Luo nodded his head and looked ahead.

'I need to focus on the missions for now. Knowing the situation of the cities will come later.'

'I should ask Brother Sang since he is the leader of the number one merchant group of the Xin Sect.'

Zhao Luo thought as he focused his sight on what had to be done at the moment.

"Open the gates."

Senior Cutie instructed the guards who were at the gate.

"Yes, Sir."

They both shouted at the exact time and pulled the gate by the round hook that was attached as the gates knob.

'Booom.'

The gates were pulled open and Zhao Luo with the others followed behind Senior Cutie who had rushed out of it.

'Is he going to stay silent now?'

Zhao Luo wondered as he looked at the back of Senior Cutie who was leading them down the stairs.

Looking around while going down Zhao Luo remembered the race he had with Si Chen and Mo Anna.

"Ah, memories."

He couldn't help but exclaim aloud.

"Maybe I will be able to meet him."

Zhao Luo squinted his eyes as he tried to look for someone at the base of the entry mountain but the only thing he could see was the forever ongoing stairs.

Ten minutes later.

"Down the stairs, we go."

'But there is no end to them.'

Zhao Luo complained but till now they had already crossed more than 100,000 stairs.

"Let's hurry!"

Senior Cutie told them an instant before he started leaping downwards.

With each step, Zhao Luo would pass more than 50 stairs before landing on the next one.

This much was still bearable for even Pi Hao who was keeping up with them.

In a second, Zhao Luo and the others would repeat this step five times thus passing 250 stairs every second.

Around an hour later.

"Jump."

Senior Cutie shouted as he leaped forward instead of downwards, jumping from the remaining stairs.

Zhao Luo, Xiao Yu, and Pi Hao also followed his movements instantly.

'BAM~'

'BAM~'

Zhao Luo watched Senior Cutie land on the group and then he with the other two also landed behind him.

"What's the plan now?"

Xiao Yu asked Senior Cutie as he could barely hold back his excitement.

"First we will need to move in that direction. Only this path can take us towards the Qi Sect and at the fastest speed."

"We need to get the spies before they enter the area around the Qi Mountain Range."

Senior Cutie pointed his hand diagonally towards the right.

'That is away from the dread forest.'

Zhao Luo mumbled as he looked towards the direction where Senior Cutie was pointing at.

As he was lost in his thought, Zhao Luo didn't realize that a large beast was approaching them.

With swift motions, only a dark shade of its movement was left behind as it moved towards them.

"Get ready. An enemy is approaching us."

Senior Cutie advised them as he squinted his eyes but didn't know what was coming at them.

'Who would dare to attack us, Xin Sect's disciple at the base of the Xin Mountain's entry city?'

Even though he was wondering about the identity of the enemy or the enemies approaching them, it didn't distract him or the others who got ready to face the enemy.

'Shwaa.'

From their far left, a shadow passed behind the objects that were blocking their view.

"Who could it be?"

Pi Hao asked nervously even though he was the most confident one in the group but that was still when he was in his comfort zone, that is, in the Sect.

'So this is the pressure of a real situation.'

He thought as he looked around trying to find the enemy which had vanished suddenly.

"They couldn't be the spies of the Qi Sect. Right?"

Xiao Yu asked as he slightly moved his leg apart and slowly brought his palms together.

Pi Hao tightened his fist and Senior Cutie brought out a long bronze rod from his storage ring.

"I don't know who it is but if it's the spies, kill them on the spot."

Senior Cutie said to them coldly as even he felt pressured facing a sudden enemy at the weirdest place.

Senior Cutie, Xiao Yu, and Pi Hao had their back against each other while they looked around.

"It's okay."

Zhao Luo's soft voice landed on their ears and they were stunned as they realized the carefree attitude of Zhao Luo who was walking towards a big rock, presumably where the enemy was hiding behind.

"Little Brother, what are you doing?"

Zhao Luo heard Senior Cutie's worried voice as he walked away from them.

Listening to the question of his Senior, Zhao Luo turned his face to look at them.

"It's okay since it's my friend."

While Zhao Luo was looking back to answer Senior Cutie, a big sand lion leaped at him from behind the rock.
