My Salvation Game Became true?!. Chapter 135 – Chapter 135: Chapter 134: The Entrance and the Luminous Tree

Chapter 135: Chapter 134: The Entrance and the Luminous Tree
 

The secret realm was not very large, covering an area of about six or seven football fields.

The sky was a hazy grey, somewhat similar to the environment beneath the Ghastly Realm; the grey fog wasn't as thick, but the other scenery was much more bizarre.

The flowers, grass, and trees looked anything but normal.

Fang You maintained the ‘Detection' skill as his gaze swept over everything, “A treasure trove indeed.”

Materials that were rarely found elsewhere, only in deep forests or in clusters of Mysterious Evil, were abundant here.

The Bureau of Investigation was in possession of a gold mine.

It seemed he could fleece quite a lot from the Bureau of Investigation.

“Trick Crystal Mine· Micro”

“Detection: Precious veins often form at intersections, or other special regions.”

Fang You pondered.

Perhaps, there were veins within the Ghastly Realm as well. After all, the bodies of Mysterious Evil killed there didn't dissipate into blue smoke; they remained intact.

With Trick Crystals and mystical materials present, this supposition was reasonable. It was just that during his last exploration of Mysterious Evil, he hadn't managed to travel more than a few dozen meters.

Now? His senses, along with Black Blade's brother, were at tier three, but compared to the period of tier two, there was no leapfrogging improvement. Attempting it again was unlikely to change the outcome.

As he mulled this over, the imposing and tall Director Tang introduced some of the features of this place.

“This place, at least several hundred Mysterious Evil are born daily, including large and extrlarge ones.”

“That's quite normal.”

Fang You said, “If we compare Blue Star to a sieve, cities are where the holes are smaller, forests are where the holes are slightly bigger, and secret realms, well, they're like a huge gap, large enough for various big Mysterious Evil to slip through.”

“Coming through from the Ghastly Realm.”

Director Tang and Huang Hongtian exchanged glances.

Indeed, the Torchlight truly had much knowledge about that other world!

Initially, the Bureau of Investigation wasn't certain about the origins of Mysterious Evil. The prevailing theory was that these monsters were born from the changes in the world and negative emotions.

But after the Gate of Hell incident, this hypothesis started to waver.

And not long ago, the mirage that appeared over White Wood Forest and the even more terrifying imagery reflected in the mirror made them more convinced of another theory.

Mysterious Evil was not born from nothing; they “leaked” over from another world!

But what kind of world was it exactly?

“The Ghastly Realm, it is a world reliant on our reality but crawling with Mysterious Evil everywhere.”

“And the Mysterious Evil of Ghastly Realm are far more dangerous than those that take root in our Blue Star.”

Fang You spoke.

Slowly lifting his head, there was a thin layer of grey fog drifting above him, and in his line of sight, he could also see several faint, nearly transparent, grey rivers flowing and intertwining overhead.

The point of intersection between reality and the Ghastly Realm was like a membrane. It seemed like he could cross this boundary just by willing it.

No, not seemed like.

He had seen through An Jianyou's perspective before and also entered the Ghastly Realm, so he was familiar with the entry process. Now, all he needed to do was to spread out his Spirit power, touch that switch, and he could enter the Ghastly Realm just like he let An Jianyou use the backdoor.

When he reached the critical point, the game system prompted with ‘Would you like to enter the Ghastly Realm?'.

Confirmed!

Indeed,

The secret realm was the true entrance to the Ghastly Realm!

The condition for entry was not finding an incredibly rare talent like An Jianyou. Still, it wasn't easy either; one needed sufficiently strong Spirit power.

An Jianyou, Silver Bell… They both had Spirit powers of over a dozen points yet were completely unaware, clearly not nearly meeting the minimum requirement.

Director Tang, Bureau Chief Huang, although top powerhouses of the world, were the brute-force type, so their Spirit powers were even lower; the chance of them touching that switch was next to none.

If he had come as his original self, he probably wouldn't have detected the core intersection either, but who asked him to be in Little Illusion's state now?

With a whopping sixty points of Spirit power!

The switch was right before him, within reach, and there was no need to take An sister's backdoor anymore… He was now in the state of an Illusory Spirit, alone and thus safer, free to come and go as he pleased.

He looked toward Director Tang and Bureau Chief Huang, “If one has enough powerful Spirit power, they can enter the Ghastly Realm from here.”

“Wait here for a moment, I will be right back.”

With those words, Fang You spread out his Spirit power dimly, as an invisible force brewed around him, stirring up wind and clearing the fog.

Under the pressure, An Jianyou and Silver Bell's faces turned red, and they had to step back several meters.

Worthy of being an instructor!

That was what An Jianyou thought.

Silver Bell's eyes sparkled with curiosity, very much wanting to study the man's body.

Director Tang and Bureau Chief Huang were even more astonished.

Seeing is believing, but feeling it up close is something else.

Only by experiencing it firsthand could they comprehend the immense pressure this man brought upon them!

Unfathomably deep!

And at that moment,

The grey fog in Fang You's eyes thickened, and the horrifying shrieks of Mysterious Evil echoed in his ears; the world around became even darker.

But the difference was slight, as the secret realm itself had one foot in the Ghastly Realm already.

In just a moment, his figure vanished before An Jianyou and the others' eyes, stepping into the opposite side.

The Ghastly Realm.

“It really is the Ghastly Realm, but the environment is somewhat different.”

“Normally, entering through the backdoor, the environment of the Ghastly Realm completely relies on reality—flora, rocks, buildings, almost identical, just somewhat withered.”

“But entering from the secret realm, the scene before my eyes is quite different from that outside.”

There were still rolling hills, but the low buildings constructed by the Secret Investigation Bureau outside were completely gone.

The strange trees growing around, those minerals too had differences… Fang You had even deliberately had Xiao Huan perform a detailed comparison, with a discrepancy as high as 86.4%.

One could say there was no connection at all.

“Xiao Huan, continue scanning the surrounding environment, record everything, and establish a separate file,” Fang You instructed.

“Okay, master~!” Xiao Huan responded cheerfully.

“Detected 6 unknown crops, the minerals buried deep underground can't be scanned though.”

“The concentration of gray fog isn't high, just at level 2.”

“There aren't many Mysterious Evils around, only three two-star and twenty-six one-star ones have been detected so far.”

He had noticed it too.

The gray fog was somewhat denser here than outside, but nowhere near as thick as the last time he explored with An Jianyou, and the same was true for the Mysterious Evils.

If it were like the last time, he would have been attacked by many Mysterious Evils as soon as he entered, and they would have kept coming, endlessly.

But now,

“Zzzt—”

“Zzzt—”

“Zzzt—” x27

When he shot out thin bolts of lightning, controlling them to just the right strength to kill the Mysterious Evils instantly, the world quieted down.

Although he could still hear the roars of Mysterious Evils from afar, and could see huge shadows flickering through the dense gray fog at the far end, at least there were none nearby.

Surprisingly, there were none.

Moreover,

“Ding!”

“Notice: Your mystery value +0.1!”

The absorption of mystery value had decreased too, by a lot, and it only popped up once in a long while.

But such an environment was indeed much safer.

“Does the density of the gray fog also relate to the activity level of the Mysterious Evils and their self-healing speed?” Fang You mused.

“If other parts of the Ghastly Realm could maintain this level, it would be feasible to explore.”

“Is it due to the special nature of the area around the secret site or some other special influence?”

Fang You, performing the Illusory Void Step, slowly ascended.

Maintaining a height of ten to twenty meters, this provided both a broad view and wouldn't be too conspicuous, allowing for a quick descent in case of danger.

He stopped and swept his gaze over the area, his pupils flickering with the light of detection.

Detect! Detect! Detect!

He began to detect those crops marked as ‘unknown' by Xiao Huan, and his investigation turned up some surprises.

“Faint Glow Trees”

“Detection: A special kind of tree that only grows at the confluence, the Ghastly Realm boundary, characterized by a faint glow that disperses the gray fog and has a certain repelling effect on Mysterious Evils.”

He snapped off a tree branch.

“Detection: A branch of the Faint Glow Tree, which has a weaker effect on dispersing gray fog and seems to have more efficient ways of utilization.”

He had obtained a key item indeed!

And there were a great number of Faint Glow Trees nearby; taking some would not have an impact, cough, just not too many.

“It's good that I had the foresight to give the Heaven's Net gauntlet to An Jianyou yesterday, instructing her to carry it with her.”

At this moment, the gauntlet was worn on his avatar's body.

Of course, before handing it over to An Jianyou, he had cleaned out the gauntlet's space, and now it was empty, capable of holding quite a lot of stuff.

He placed some branches inside, thought for a moment, then gently uprooted a few Faint Glow Trees to try transplanting—although the detection skill mentioned that only the environment of the confluence, the Ghastly Realm boundary, was suitable, but there was no harm in trying. Who knows, it might just work.

He also found some seeds of the Faint Glow Trees and picked up some other local specialties. Naturally, Mysterious Evils appeared during this time, and he defeated them one by one.

Having made a round, he confirmed that only the area opposite the secret site had lighter gray fog.

Outside of that, the fog was thick and Mysterious Evils were everywhere.

He attempted to go out; this time he was stronger and didn't have to take care of An Jianyou, so he moved more freely, but still, after only a thousand meters, he felt the pressure.

To avoid provoking Calamity Level Mysterious Evils, he quickly retreated after eliminating some powerful ones.

Returning to the secret site's entrance, he eradicated all the pursuing Mysterious Evils, surveyed the area to ensure there were no issues, and only then did Fang You lightly touch that converging node.

After a moment, his feet touched down.

The roars of the Mysterious Evils vanished from his ears, and An Jianyou's face appeared before him, nearly bumping into her.

Both were startled.

“The mentor has returned!” An Jianyou exclaimed.

At this point, with a significant amount of life energy depleted and having been possessed by Xiao Huan for nearly an hour, Fang You's head gradually began to throb.

He briefly described the situation on the other side.

“It's not very dangerous.”

“There are only a few three-star Mysterious Evils.”

After some thought, he took out some materials that were unique to the other side from the Heaven's Net gauntlet and gave them to the Investigation Bureau.

He handed the gauntlet to An Jianyou again, with a few additional instructions.

“You can handle things here on your own from now on,” he said.

Then,

Wrapped in a faint golden light, his figure gradually faded, until it disappeared in front of everyone.
