I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1725

Chapter 1725: Chapter 1726: The Foundation of Casting Array Chapter 1725: Chapter 1726: The Foundation of Casting Array Entering this ghostly realm was both a crisis and a source of fortune; although there were powerful spirits everywhere, not just of the Legendary Realm, but even the God Level spirits were plentiful here, extremely dangerous. Moreover, for non-undead creatures, their robust vitality often attracted the surrounding spirits like moths to a flame, and one small misstep could mean losing their lives.

However, this area was also full of opportunities; any random stone on the ground might be a special rock filled with Yin Power, extremely valuable.

To leave this place, however, one must pass through the Teleportation Gate found only in the Luofu Divine Palace, which was not very user-friendly for players in the game world with Legendary strength.

Lin Tian and his group of four were lucky; they saw the sky-piercing beam of light emitted when Song Jian opened a God Level treasure chest. This location offered a clear view of the Luofu Divine Palace, and since they were all players, Song Jian's compassion was stirred. They clung to his “golden thigh,” greatly increasing their safety!

The few of them followed Song Jian towards the Luofu Divine Palace, which looked even more magnificent and imposing than the Pantheon, but it was unbelievable that such a unique palace was actually a den of ghosts.

Upon entering the main hall, the environment instantly became eerie, with gusts of cold wind blowing from all directions. Even Song Jian felt a chill.

Looking at Lin Tian and his peers, their bodies were already covered in frost, and their status bars showed the adverse effect of “Frostbite,” greatly reducing their mobility!

Song Jian frowned slightly and immediately spread his divine power to form a five-meter diameter golden light shield, enveloping everyone within.

The four, whose Vitality Points had started to drop continuously, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed their thanks.

“Who would have thought that the Luofu Divine Palace could be so dangerous? Just stepping through its doors gave us a tough welcome. Who knows what we'll encounter as we go deeper!” Lin Tian said with a wry smile on his face.

In fact, the entrance hall of the Luofu Divine Palace was also a test. All players who wished to leave through the Luofu Divine Palace had to first find an item with Yin attributes.

In this ghostly realm, what was most abundant were items with Yin Power. Just by hunting a few spirits here, one could obtain items imbued with Yin Power. Carrying these items would allow full entry into the Luofu Divine Palace.

The whereabouts of those deities from before were unknown. The Main Deities' purpose in entering the Luofu Divine Palace was different from that of the players. The players just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, while the Main Deities aimed to find the weapons of the Alien God King level entities–either to take them away or to seal them permanently; otherwise, there would likely be no place for any deity to stand in the Divine World.

“I have another purpose for coming here, but first, let me escort you out,” said Song Jian after pondering for a moment. Since he chose to protect these players, he naturally had to follow through and could not bring them along in search of the Bloodthirsty Warhammer.

The location of the Bloodthirsty Warhammer was bound to be even more dangerous, and should they encounter aliens, Song Jian would likely be unable to look after these players in the heat of battle.

“My mission has changed!” As soon as he entered the great hall of the Luofu Divine Palace, Wei Qing immediately noticed the change in his mission objectives and couldn't help but speak up.

“So has mine. It tells us to reach the top floor of the Luofu Divine Palace and obtain a mystical object called the 'Foundation of Formation.' We can leave after that, and the rewards for the mission are generous–lots of Experience Points and a random piece of Legendary quality equipment!” said Lin Tian, beaming with joy.

Although they were all players, Song Jian had not received this mission. However, when he heard the words “Foundation of Formation,” his eyebrows flickered.

The Foundation of Formation was a pearl filled with formation energies, used to stabilize the forces of an array. The more powerful the formation, the more “Foundation of Formation” pearls it required.

Ordinary foundation beads for casting arrays can be universally used, but to open a Teleportation Gate connecting two different worlds, one needs foundation beads for casting arrays that separately contain the essence of both worlds.

“Could it be that these players were sent here to obtain the foundation beads for casting arrays that contain the essence of this Undead World, in order to connect the game world with this world?” Song Jian thought to himself.

The game world is the Main World, but beyond the game world, there are countless other worlds. The very first expansion pack, Abyss Invasion, seemed to be about the Abyss invading the game world. In reality, however, it opened the door between the Abyss and the game world. After the plot ended, players from the game world could freely enter the Abyss to explore.

As the game progressed step by step, Song Jian realized that the game world seemed to have a consciousness of its own, constantly searching for the entrances to unknown worlds. Upon discovering a new world, the first step was to connect with it. Then, gradually erode and merge into it?

At this thought, Song Jian suddenly felt a chill down his spine. These players, they seemed to be guinea pigs cultivated by the game world, constantly exploring within the game world, discovering special worlds, and then connecting them with the game world to form a larger world.

“Lord Song, we should hurry, it's getting colder!” Lin Tian, looking at the distracted Song Jian, couldn't help but remind him.

Although they were protected by Song Jian's divine power, Lin Tian and the others could feel the environment growing colder. Initially, it was just a chill, but now, a layer of ice crystals and frost had appeared on the ground. Song Jian's divine power could fend off the chill, but it was powerless against the cold and frost on the ground. Walking on it felt like traversing barefoot on ice.

“Oh, oh, right, let's continue,” Song Jian came back to his senses and couldn't help but laugh at himself. Perhaps he was overthinking; how could the game world possibly have a consciousness of its own?

Even so, Song Jian felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The group passed through the main hall and ascended the stairs. The Luofu Divine Palace was vast, with thousands upon thousands of palaces, like a maze. To find the Bloodthirsty Warhammer within so many palaces would not only take time and effort but mostly luck.

However, Lin Tian and the others had a relatively simple task: they needed to reach the top level of the Luofu Divine Palace to find the foundation beads for casting arrays, so they just had to climb the steps all the way up. Once there were no more stairs to climb, they would naturally be at the very top of the Luofu Divine Palace.

Whoo-whoo~ Howl~
As they ascended, the group occasionally heard ghostly wails and the roars of beasts, as if they were right by their ears.

As they walked, Song Jian inwardly remarked, “It seems that the dwarf specter wasn't talking nonsense when it said there are more and stronger ghosts inside the Luofu Divine Palace.”

Meanwhile, Lin Tian and the three others followed closely behind Song Jian, warily looking around, fearing a monster might suddenly pounce on them from ahead.

Just as they had climbed a dozen steps, Wei Qing suddenly let out a light “huh” of surprise, pointing to a passageway on the left and saying in a low voice, “Look, is there something over there?”

Instinctively, everyone looked in the direction Wei Qing was pointing, and indeed, a bronze giant beast with a metallic sheen appeared before their eyes.
