MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 863 - Divine Tome

The killing of G.o.d-queen Carulla had dire consequences for every player on the Pantheon Continent. The Forbidden Curse lasted for a day and a night, and countless innocent players died horribly.

The players at the major cities were in deep trouble, but those who were leveling in the wild were not so badly affected. The divine punishment was aimed mainly at the players’ major cities, so even the monsters around the major cities were targeted, but the maps far away from the major cities were completely unaffected.

While G.o.ds were furious, Li Yi led his girls and continued to attempt the Tower of Remorse.

Li Yi knew better than anyone what it meant for a G.o.d to be killed. In the past life, it was precisely because some players killed the True Fire G.o.d that the Pantheon Mystery expansion pack was released.

The Fire G.o.d was nowhere close to the G.o.d-queen in rank. Now that the G.o.d-queen had been killed, did that mean that the Pantheon Mystery expansion pack was going to be brought forward again?

While Li Yi attempted the Tower of Remorse, he found some time to watch the G.o.d-killing video Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g had posted to the official forum.

The scroll Carulla had dropped was the Divine Tome. Several players managed to obtain one in the past life, but its actual function was still a mystery. Everyone knew it was precious, but no one knew how to use it, so it became something of a white elephant.

Carulla did not drop anything else, though. That was a small comfort to Li Yi…

The Divine Tome was a good thing to have. While no one really knew how to use it, the hints dropped by King of Pantheon NPCs still told them that anyone who could decipher the Divine Tome’s secrets could truly become a G.o.d.

Li Yi had to admit, he was tempted by the Divine Tome.

Li Yi tried to contact Leader Sc.u.m. He never considered buying it from Leader Sc.u.m with money, because he knew that while the latter really needed some dough, it was still practically impossible to buy anything from Leader Sc.u.m…

“Leader Sc.u.m, do you still have that scroll?”

“Nope. I sent it to Big Boy.”

Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g’s response made every word Li Yi had prepared die in his throat.

“Big Boy?”

“F*ck, that stupid scroll gave me a headache, so I sent it to that r.e.t.a.r.d Big Boy. That way, he’ll probably get a headache too, and just the thought of that is f*cking awesome. Say, doesn’t that mean I’m a little smarter than my Third Brother now?”

“…”

A r.e.t.a.r.d’s thought processes were indeed a mystery.

Li Yi did not have to ask any of his followup questions. After all, the Divine Tome was gone, so what else was there to ask about?

After a day and a night of running the dungeon, Li Yi and the girls reached the 36th floor of the Tower of Remorse. This record had already earned him a place in the World Rankings.

Right now, Infinite Insanity still had the highest record, as he had already reached the 40th floor. Brother Windcloud Nine’s team was in second place, having also reached the 39th floor.

The higher one climbed the Tower of Remorse, the more difficult it became. Aside from the monsters, mazes, and mechanisms, they also had to fight opposing players. As a result, they were in constant danger of complete annihilation. The 36th floor Li Yi had just arrived at was a desert map. Here, he saw countless parties of players who had been stuck here for days now.

It was not that they did not want to move on, it was just that the maze here was designed very intricately. There were whirlwinds, quicksand, and traps everywhere. One wrong step and a player could very well pay with their lives.

The entrance to the 37th floor would randomly appear somewhere in the desert map, but it only ever appeared for a mere 30 seconds. If players could not find the teleportation door within 30 seconds and enter it, the teleportation door would automatically fly away and reappear elsewhere 20 seconds later.

The teleportation door appeared the most often in the map where the whirlwinds, quicksand, and traps were most concentrated.

This stage was another level of ridiculous.

Faced with such a difficult desert stage, even Li Yi did not have any bright ideas. He led his girls through the treacherous map where sand and wind was everywhere. They camped at random and rested as they waited for the teleportation door to appear nearby.

This ‘sit and wait’ approach was not particularly brilliant, but it was the safest. Most of the players who pa.s.sed this stage in the previous life used this exact method.

There were at least several hundred parties camped out at different spots here, waiting for the teleportation door to appear of its own accord.

“Hahaha, we’re going in! See you later, everyone!”

“F*ck, I’ve been waiting here for three days now. That stupid door just won’t come my way.”

“I’ll pay 500 Gold Coins for the door’s location. I’ll pay you as soon as I get in!”

Such voices rang out all over the desert map.

The desert map was huge, just like a little world of its own.

The tent Li Yi had set up was huge. Unlike the other player camps, he only had one tent while the others had several lined up in a row.

“A huge bed and seven or eight girls all to myself… now that’s the life.”

Li Yi lay outside the tent, a stalk of gra.s.s in his mouth as he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Someone had to be on watch at all times in case the teleportation door appeared all of a sudden. When choosing the person to stay outside, all the girls voted for Li Yi and made him the first watchperson.

Jiaojiao, Qian’er, Little Elf from the Magical Realm, The Cat that Sings, Fire Ice, and Underwear Girl were all lying down inside the tent. Li Yi did not know if they were all sleeping, but he did know that he could not sleep right now.

“If I go in now, I wonder what will happen?”

Whenever Li Yi was alone, his mind tended to wander.

“I won’t know unless I try, right?”

Li Yi stood up, threw the stalk out of his mouth and sauntered into the tent.

Ten minutes later, The Cat that Sings stormed out of the tent, cursing, and took Li Yi’s previous position. She was the second watchperson.

Li Yi had actually gone in, and now he was sleeping soundly between Jiaojiao and Qian’er, one arm around each girl…

Just now, The Cat that Sings had made a bet with Li Yi. If he dared to hug two girls at once and if they did not resist, she said she would take his place on guard duty.

As a result, Sister Cat was now on duty…

Inside the tent, Li Yi’s golden Chrono Territory was still in effect. Under the suppressive power of his Territory Power, none of the women inside the tent could move…

A mere five minutes later, The Cat that Sings yelled from outside the tent, “The teleportation door is here!”

Whoosh—”

Li Yi pulled back his Chrono Territory and leaped up, shooting out of the tent like an arrow.

Outside, The Cat that Sings had her arms crossed around her chest. She was looking at him with amus.e.m.e.nt all over her face.

The women inside the tent had all dashed out as well, and they looked around, searching for the teleportation door.

“Where’s the door?”

“Why don’t I see it?”

“I lied, hahaha…” The Cat that Sings put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.

The Cat that Sings had a very loud voice, and her exaggerated laughter could be heard several hundred meters away.

Just a little over a hundred meters away, there was another small tent with two occupants sitting inside.

They were Dark G.o.d Empyrean South and the G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre with a Thousand Faces, Jiggly.

When he heard Sister Cat’s laughter, Empyrean South could not help a shudder.

“Lil B, that sounds like Sister Cat…”

“Run!”

With a wave of Jiggly’s sleeve, he had kept the tent into his Backpack and was now running like the wind…
