Chapter 193: Ancient God Relic, Birth or Return?
Chapter 193: Ancient God Relic, Birth or Return?
"Master, I've discovered an ancient god relic. It seems to have just appeared, though 'appeared' might not be the right term. It's more like a return."
In the Demon Web, a White Dove contacted Qin Muye through multiple relays.
Qin Muye paused in his hand movements: "An ancient god relic? It's showing up now?"
He had thought it would only appear when a certain level of corruption was reached. He didn't expect there to be no correlation.
"Have you entered to investigate?" Qin Muye asked.
"No, the relic emits a kind of pollution. We lose health points as soon as we enter, even with elemental shields, we can't effectively penetrate it," the White Dove responded.
Qin Muye frowned. The pollution continued to drain health points.
This doesn't seem simple at all.
"Send me the coordinates, I'll go take a look," Qin Muye decided.
This ancient god relic is definitely not ordinary. He had already heard that other lords had already conquered many ancient god relics within the unexplored magical continents, and there were quite a few of them.
However, no specific details about them had been revealed. All the actions were taken by the lords themselves, not by the native heroes.
This made Qin Muye wary. If it were just a dungeon, why would the lords need to get involved?
Dungeons were almost extinct in the magical continents. Most of them were one-time events, disappearing after they were cleared.
So, Qin Muye decided to personally investigate this ancient god relic and the so-called pollution.
He brought along Tianqi and boarded the demon-powered fighter jet, taking off immediately.
He couldn't possibly walk all the way there, and he did have a fighter jet and a pilot.
He soon arrived at the location the White Dove had sent him. From a distance, it didn't look like the temple he had imagined. Instead, it resembled a massive void.
The fighter jet stopped, and the White Dove approached.
"Master, the situation is very unusual. The ancient god relic continuously emits corruption, and the corruption level cannot be eliminated," the White Dove hurriedly said.
Qin Muye nodded, watching the ancient god relic from a distance. Thanks to Lords of the Epoch, he was able to discern the situation.
His eyes turned into a crimson crystal. This crimson pupil magic had been improved countless times and had always kept up with his growth.
He quickly discovered that this massive void-like ancient god relic seemed to be sucking in the entire world, much like a black hole.
The reason the White Dove and other sprites lost health points was due to this suction, which radiated out to nearly a hundred meters and gradually weakened.
Moreover, the suction also expanded the corruption, increasing the corruption level and softening the space. If not handled in time, the corruption level would rise, and a terrifying pollution would be generated.
Currently, because it had just appeared, the pollution wasn't significant.
The pollution from the corruption would accumulate and eventually give birth to ancient god minions.
In other words, the ancient god relic was a forward base and a factory for the ancient gods. If not cleared out in time, it would become a significant threat.
Furthermore, in Qin Muye's eyes, this ancient god relic had just appeared and was unstable, which was why it was exhibiting this suction effect.
Now, as it gradually stabilized, the suction effect was fading.
Yes, fading, not disappearing. It wasn't interested in the small amount of life force around it but was directly targeting the world. The exterior of the relic was gradually settling down.
"I knew it, the ancient god relic is no ordinary thing," Qin Muye said with a serious expression.
For Lords of the Epoch, this was just an event. But for the magical continent server, it was a catastrophic disaster.
He was certain that if the ancient god resurgence event failed and the doomsday bell event was initiated, the originally 7th-tier magical continent server might fall back to the 6th tier, not in terms of area but in terms of world energy level.
The situation was severe, but the impact on him was relatively small. It had been almost three months since the first ancient god relic appeared, and he hadn't been heavily targeted.
"It needs to be dealt with quickly, otherwise it will affect the construction of the floating city," Qin Muye said.
Indeed, it would have an impact. The actions of the ancient god relic would cause a decrease in the concentration of elements and magic, which would increase his costs.
"I'll go ahead and scout for you, Master," the White Dove said.
Tianqi, of course, didn't say anything. He was the bodyguard and wouldn't rush into battle.
"Wait a moment, there's no rush. The ancient god relic hasn't fully stabilized yet. There's no need to act until it's completely settled," Qin Muye interrupted the White Dove.
The White Dove was a cavalry unit, and their specialized troops were also cavalry. They didn't have mounts, but their form resembled centaurs, covered in heavy armor, making them heavy cavalry. They didn't have to worry about stamina, as they had been enhanced.
They waited for about half an hour before the ancient god relic finally stabilized.
【One-Time Dungeon: Ancient God Relic】
【Do you want to enter the dungeon? Yes/No】
Qin Muye narrowed his eyes as he read the dungeon prompt. Normally, dungeons would have indications of the troop levels, champion units, or hero units, but this ancient god relic had none of that, only the option to enter or not. This added a lot of uncertainty to the dungeon.
So now, Qin Muye had two options: send the White Dove in or bring everyone in with him.
The first option might result in the White Dove being defeated, while the second option left his own safety in doubt.
But after some thought, it didn't seem too troublesome. After all, he had the Hyper-Spatial Teleportation Channel, which could open passages to other worlds, let alone an ancient god dungeon.
Even if he couldn't defeat the enemy, he could always escape.
It's better to think about failure before victory.
Otherwise, the losses could be significant.
"Let's go in together and see what we're dealing with."
Once the ancient god relic was fully stabilized, Qin Muye spoke.
He then clicked to enter the dungeon, and the space around him shifted, pulling him into the dungeon by the power of Lords of the Epoch without him having to walk in.
【Dungeon Objective: Prevent the Orange Village from performing the ancient god ritual and kill all ancient god minions】
【Rewards: 100,000 points, 100,000 of each basic resource, 50,000 of each special resource, 1 Ancient God Treasure Chest】
【Note: Slaughtering the natives will result in mission failure and the complete awakening of the ancient god relic】
"Can't kill them?" Qin Muye's expression was somewhat odd as he read the prompt.
But he soon smiled, understanding the situation. The ancient god ritual seemed to be a blood sacrifice. If he killed the villagers, he would inadvertently help the ritual.
However, not being able to kill them didn't mean there were no other solutions. He could just tie them up.
It wasn't a big deal.
"Also, where are we?" Qin Muye looked around. He realized that the interior of the ancient god relic was not like the previous dungeons but a completely new world.
It was separated by an invisible air wall, and not far away was a small village called Orange Village.
In other words, they had only one path to take: enter Orange Village.
"You all go back first. I'll send for you once I've scouted the situation," Qin Muye dismissed the White Dove and others, leaving only Tianqi by his side.
He tested and found that he could summon them back again.
Indeed, the Dungeon Scroll was always reliable! The guaranteed skill rewards were as powerful as ever.
"Tianqi, disguise yourself better. Let's not alert them. We need to see what kind of ancient god is in this Orange Village." Directly rushing in might be simple, but it wouldn't provide enough intelligence.
Qin Muye knew he wasn't just dealing with this one ancient god relic. With such a valuable sample, he couldn't afford to rush and risk the ancient god minions panicking.
Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will win a hundred battles out of a hundred. So, he wanted to study the situation first.
From what he could tell, Lords of the Epoch seemed to discourage violence against the natives in the dungeon, suggesting there might be a hidden reason.
Besides, Qin Muye wasn't worried about the natives attacking him. His strength was no longer weak, and he wasn't the easy target he once was. He wasn't concerned about being surrounded; it might be the other way around.
