Chapter 977 – Divine Pathstone

World Ark, Evil Sky City:

Upon entering the City Lord’s Mansion, the Zero Wing members behind s.h.i.+ Feng froze in shock at its opulent interior.

“Holy! I dare say not even the Seven Luminaries Alliance would be willing to splurge on such an interior!” Blackie exclaimed as he scanned the mansion’s lobby. “Not only did Evil Nature construct a miniature world inside the mansion using Law Fragments, but it even used Holy Power Crystals to construct the whole interior!”

“We’ve hit the jackpot! At least several billion units of Holy Power Crystals must have been used to construct a miniature world of this size!” Pace Angel, the manager of the Zero Wing Training Center in Star Lake City, blurted out, her eyes s.h.i.+ning as she scanned the miniature world that was equal to several stadiums in area.

“It’s definitely more than just several billion units,” s.h.i.+ Feng said, equally shocked by Evil Nature’s wealth as he looked at the miniature world suffused with incredibly dense Holy Power.

Holy Power Crystals were the Holy Race’s equivalent for Seven Luminaries Crystals. Besides being a crucial resource for Holy Race players to advance to Tier 6, Holy Power Crystals were also necessary to power the Holy Race’s various war weapons.

Take Firmament, for example. Even now, s.h.i.+ Feng was still reeling from using it. Merely activating Lakelight Mirror once cost him 500 G.o.d Crystals and 50 million units of Seven Luminaries Crystal. That was as much as one-fourth of a pseudo-apex power’s liquid Seven Luminaries Crystals. If Zero Wing hadn’t made a lot of Seven Luminaries Crystals through the Tower of the Abyss, its development would have instantly come to a standstill.

The act of constructing a miniature world’s environment using Holy Power Crystals was no different from constructing a palace using Seven Luminaries Crystals—utterly wasteful. The only benefit from doing so would be an increase in the mana density inside the palace. Moreover, compared to a palace constructed using Magic Crystals, the mana density would only be one or two times higher. After all, the palace’s mana density was still largely dependent on the mana density of the area and its Mana Gathering Magic Array.

Although the Holy Power Crystals could also provide the miniature world with an isolating effect, the cost far outweighed the benefits.

“Guild Leader, are we really going to ransack this place?” Blackie asked s.h.i.+ Feng reluctantly. “If we dismantle this miniature world, we will destroy many Holy Power Crystals in the process.”

In G.o.d’s Domain, dismantling any construction would result in significant material losses. In Blackie’s opinion, since Zero Wing had already captured Evil Sky City, there was no need to ransack the place.

Although human players had no use for Holy Power Crystals, their presence allowed the World Laws in this miniature world to become more observable. Players seeking to advance to Tier 6 or master World Laws could benefit greatly from this miniature world.

“It must be done, regardless of the losses,” s.h.i.+ Feng said definitively.

s.h.i.+ Feng would have chosen to occupy Evil Sky City had it not been constructed using a Great Lord Token. After all, he had already gone through the trouble of capturing it. Although it was currently severely damaged, this was nothing that couldn’t be repaired with money. And even if it was a Guild City of the Holy Race, only a few modifications were needed to make it usable for human players.

However, Evil Nature had constructed Evil Sky City using a Great Lord Token. This changed things completely.

In his previous life, Great Lord Tokens were highly contested items. They remained high-priority targets, even after they had been used to construct a Guild City.

The first reason was that they could be used to awaken lost civilization cities. The second reason was that they could be used as a consumable to improve one’s authority in a lost civilization city or activate hidden advanced functions.

Although Evil Nature’s Great Lord Token could no longer be used to awaken lost civilization cities since it had been used to construct a Guild City, he could still use it to increase his authority in the primordial civilization city or activate the city’s hidden advanced functions.

While Zero Wing could also benefit greatly from Evil Sky City’s extravagant City Lord’s Mansion, this paled in comparison to the benefits the Guild would gain from the primordial civilization city.

“Alright, then.” Despite his reluctance, Blackie gave the command to start dismantling the City Lord’s Mansion.

…

While Blackie was overseeing the dismantling process, Zero Wing’s a.s.sa.s.sins found Evil Sky City’s treasury hidden inside the mansion.

“Isn’t this level of security excessive? Hiding a treasury in a threefold miniature world? This is like a Matryoshka doll. If not for our perceptive brothers, we would have missed this treasury,” Blackie commented when he heard from the a.s.sa.s.sins the measures Evil Nature had taken to conceal its treasury.

s.h.i.+ Feng was not surprised by this situation. It was common practice for powers to store their treasures in the safest location—their headquarters. To prevent other powers from locating and plundering their treasures, they would also employ various methods to hide their treasuries, and only the Guild’s core members and above would know the location of these treasuries.

In reality, Evil Nature, a royal power, could be considered very lazy for hiding its treasury in nothing more than a threefold miniature world. If this were the headquarters of a pseudo-apex power, the treasury would likely be hidden within a gigantic maze. The maze would be so large and complex that even those familiar with its layout would need considerable time to reach the treasury’s entrance.

After walking for about ten minutes under the Tier 6 a.s.sa.s.sins’ lead, s.h.i.+ Feng and Blackie arrived inside a miniature world the size of a football field. Dense Eternal Energy filled the miniature world, refres.h.i.+ng everyone mentally the moment they entered; its effect on mental acuity was nearly one-third of that of the Eternal G.o.d Crystal.

As expected of a royal power! s.h.i.+ Feng was awestruck by the mountains of treasure in the miniature world. Even his breathing had grown heavier.

Although the miniature world wasn’t particularly large, the items it stored were extraordinary. Besides many Fragmented Divine Artifacts, it also had many G.o.d Crystals and Holy Origin Crystals. Not even the Nameless City’s treasury held as many G.o.d Crystals as Evil Sky City’s.

At a glance, there were easily over 100,000 G.o.d Crystals and Holy Origin Crystals in the treasury. Even if a pseudo-apex power were to take out all its G.o.d Crystals or Holy Origin Crystals, it wouldn’t necessarily be able to come up with such an amount. Yet, Evil Nature stored this amount in just one city. Even if Evil Sky City was Evil Nature’s headquarters in the Eternal Realm, it was still a ridiculous number.

While Blackie and the others were celebrating this astounding discovery, s.h.i.+ Feng directed his attention to the stone pedestal in the middle of the treasury.

The pedestal itself was inconspicuous. It was about two meters tall and emitted no energy fluctuations. It looked like it was made using nothing but ordinary stone. In contrast, the broken tablet hovering above the pedestal was very conspicuous.

A G.o.ddess Tablet? After briefly studying the tablet’s mana fluctuations, s.h.i.+ Feng discovered that he could a.n.a.lyze the tablet using the mana interpretation method for studying the most recent G.o.ddess Tablet he had obtained.

However, even after making this discovery, s.h.i.+ Feng quickly s.h.i.+fted his attention to the stone pedestal under the tablet and used a Master Appraisal Skill.

I nearly got tricked. When s.h.i.+ Feng saw the appraisal results, he was glad he had inspected the pedestal.

[Divine Pathstone] (Consumable, G.o.dly Relic)

A divine stone birthed alongside G.o.d’s Domain. It can be used to connect to any world depending on the G.o.d Crystals used.

No wonder Evil Nature kept so many G.o.d Crystals here. They were all prepared for this Divine Pathstone. When s.h.i.+ Feng saw the Divine Pathstone, he couldn’t help pitying Evil Nature.

Divine Pathstones were regarded as priceless treasures by the Holy Race and the human race in his previous life. Although its only function was to create a pathway between two worlds, it was something countless powers from both races sought. After all, G.o.d’s Domain was a ma.s.sive place. Human and Holy Race players weren’t the only ones in it. However, because unspeakably powerful monsters lurked in the depths of the Void Sea, players of the two races could not explore beyond their respective Greater G.o.d’s Domains. This was where the Divine Pathstone’s ability to create a permanent pathway between two worlds came into play.

Of course, if it was simply the ability to create a pathway to the Greater G.o.d’s Domain of another race, Divine Pathstones wouldn’t have been particularly attractive to the various powers. What made Divine Pathstones truly valuable was their indirect ability to increase the Tier 7 promotion’s success rate!
