I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1727

Chapter 1727: Chapter 1728: Leaving Chapter 1727: Chapter 1728: Leaving “I've grasped another Power of Law, not too bad,” Song Jian thought to himself with quiet joy.

Were it some other deity who suddenly comprehended a Power of Law, they would likely be ecstatic, but with the Paso Fruit Tree, Song Jian's reaction to a new understanding of a Power of Law was at most a modest pleasure without that overwhelming ecstasy.

One should know that even Main God Level powerhouses found it exceedingly difficult to grasp a new Power of Law; sometimes, even decades or centuries might pass without comprehending any, leaving their strength stagnant.

“Let's go, keep moving up; we're almost at the top,” Song Jian said with a smile, controlling the Armored Puppet to scout ahead as Lin Tian and the others watched the puppet, envious of its likeness to a battle pet.

Yet, such treasures, even if gifted to them, were beyond their control; they could only look on with envy.

Soon, Song Jian led the group up the stairs to the very top floor of the temple, which appeared to be a storeroom. Pushing open the door, the hall came into view, overflowing with heaps of miscellaneous items like small hills.

These items were all infused with a deathly cold energy; with Lin Tian's strength, even getting slightly closer caused his Vitality Points to slowly decrease.

“How are we supposed to search this? Trying to find the Foundation Gemstone for Array Formation here is like looking for a needle in a haystack…” Lin Tian said, his face showing a look of despair as he eyed the hall filled with mountainous piles of miscellany.

If it were just a matter of searching, it would be somewhat manageable, but each item here was steeped in a dense cold energy, threatening to turn anyone in prolonged contact into an undead creature.

Song Jian employed his Perception Eye, gazing over the mountainous piles of miscellaneous items; most were grey, with only a few items shimmering with a faint white light, fetching little more than a handful of Doomsday Coins if sold at the system store.

“Since that is the case, I might as well go the extra mile and find the Foundation Gemstone for you…” Song Jian muttered after a moment's thought.

“Is that true?” Lin Tian and the others were surprised and delighted. That Song Jian had escorted them to the top of Luofu Divine Palace was already a tremendous favor – they hadn't expected he would go so far as to help them find the Foundation Gemstone as well.

If it weren't for the fact that they truly had nothing that Song Jian coveted, they might even have doubted Song Jian's motives.

In reality, Song Jian was only interested in the cold energy within these items, wishing to smelt them with the Blazing Fire Furnace to see if anything valuable could be refined.

The Blazing Fire Furnace could smelt anything, its power even more terrifying than the Heaven-devouring Art, and with a sufficient quantity of items, it often yielded very impressive results.

With this thought, Song Jian's divine thought stirred, and a massive furnace materialized in the void.

This colossal furnace stood over ten meters tall, resembling a building as it floated in the air, leaving an indelible impression on observers.

While Lin Tian and the others had seen the Blazing Fire Furnace before, such a treasure never failed to amaze, no matter how many times they saw it.

“Gather!”

With a soft command from Song Jian, the lid of the Blazing Fire Furnace slowly opened, and a powerful current whipped out, sweeping all the mountainous heaps of items from the hall into the furnace.

Items were absorbed into the furnace one by one, and Song Jian watched with his divine consciousness, occasionally using his Divine Thought to eject some items. In a short amount of time, only a few hundred items selected by Song Jian remained in the hall. The thousands, even tens of thousands of other items had all been sucked into the Blazing Fire Furnace, beginning to melt down.

“This is the Foundation Gemstone for Array Formation…” Song Jian looked at the most numerous white crystals among the items, picking one up and said with a smile.

The Transmission Array's stabilizing functions used these Foundation Gemstones for Array Formation, each worth at least one Amethyst Coin. The quantity of the Foundation Gemstones before him was at least fifty or sixty pieces.

It was a pity that the attributes of these Foundation Gemstones for Array Formation were merely for task items, not materials for array formation, and they could only be taken out of this hall by someone who had accepted the quest.

“Thank you so much, City Lord Song, we owe it all to you this time. I really don't know how to thank you properly; you saved our lives, all four of us!” Lin Tian said with a face full of gratitude.

“Yes, City Lord Song, if there's anything we can do to help you, just give the order, and we will complete it at the risk of our lives!” Wei Qing also expressed his gratitude.

Song Jian just smiled and waved his hand. They were all in the Legendary Realm, how could they possibly help a Main God Level powerhouse? The difference in strength between them was as vast as that between mortals and deities.

“City Lord Song, once I return, I will head to the City of Hope and settle down there. From now on, I will put down my roots in the City of Hope!” exclaimed the man in the white robe suddenly.

Hearing this, the other three's eyes lit up, and they promptly said, “We'll go too, we'll go too. The City of Hope isn't far from us, and it's also City Lord Song's own city. We must settle there!”

At that moment, Song Jian was suddenly struck with an idea, and he said with a smile, “If you truly do wish to go to the City of Hope, I hope you can deliver a message to Vice City Lord Wang Qi. Tell him to prepare for building a branch city and constructing my temple. I also want him to make contact with other cities, striving to build one of my temples in each city!”

“Tell him when the temple is constructed, they only need to chant my godly name to receive my response! My godly name is 'Lord of Chaos'!” Song Jian said softly.

Upon hearing the name “Lord of Chaos,” Lin Tian and the others were inexplicably struck with awe, yet they couldn't articulate why. They didn't know what “Lord of Chaos” signified, as they thought Song Jian was just an ordinary deity-level powerhouse, oblivious to the fact that these four words represented a Main God Level powerhouse!

To build a temple for a deity, one must receive a response from that deity; otherwise, even if the temple is constructed, it would receive no attention or response from the divine, and the temple would not attract worshippers to pray.

“Alright, City Lord Song, we will definitely deliver the message!” Lin Tian nodded in agreement.

“Hey, these Foundation Gemstones for Array Formation, we can take away as many as three each, and for every extra one we take, the reward is doubled!” Wei Qing excitedly said while holding a gemstone in hand.

Their task required each person to obtain at least one Foundation Gemstone for Array Formation to complete the quest and leave. It was only after securing more than one gemstone that the prompt allowing them to take away three appeared.

The four of them were delighted with this sudden windfall, like a pie falling from the sky. Song Jian didn't mind, since the floor was scattered with Foundation Gemstones for Array Formation that he couldn't use. These gemstones' attributes were already set as task items, so no one else could use them anyway.

After each of the four took away three Foundation Gemstones for Array Formation, they said their goodbyes to Song Jian and chose to complete the quest!

Instantly, they transformed into four beams of white light and disappeared. Once all four of them had left, Song Jian's gaze fell upon the Blazing Fire Furnace in midair. He could feel that many of the items were being burned to ash, and the cold energy they contained was being drawn out bit by bit, starting to merge and refine. What they would ultimately form, Song Jian also looked on with great anticipation.
