Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 763 - 339: Gathering of Sages

"This is why he can lock onto you, a divine special space coordinate, its existence turning you into a mobile spatial teleportation array, a trivial trick."

Wu Chang possesses the Eye of Breaking Method, and is also a Space Magic Grandmaster who has witnessed the roots of space itself. Coupled with the Blasphemer’s sensitivity to divinity, it was hard for him not to notice the ball of light above Xu Dejun’s head.

Xu Dejun probed, "You know Space Magic as well?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "I know a bit."

Xu Dejun furrowed his brows. He had been to two private spaces, and no one had detected the space coordinate above his head. Knowing a bit wouldn’t uncover Kuafu’s methods.

No way, you’re a player from the Desolate Realm. How can you, while overpowering Hercules in Strength Attribute, also master Space Magic?

Just how many attribute points do you have?

He took another deep breath, silently repeating to himself that they were teammates, then said:

"Have I gotten rid of Kuafu’s lock now?"

Wu Chang shook his head, "The space coordinates set by Kuafu contain divinity; even if discovered, they’re not easily removed."

His fingers slowly exerted strength, and the space in his palm twisted, forming an air vortex with faint flashes of electricity.

Under the combined power of the Blasphemer and Divine Thunder, he crushed the ball of light, clapping away the divine residue from his hand, and said:

"Now it’s finally safe."

Xu Dejun: "Cheating dog."

Even as teammates, he couldn’t hold back this time.

Wu Chang: "What?"

Xu Dejun shook his head, "Nothing, come with me. I know a place suitable for conversation."

Wu Chang followed Xu Dejun to an uninhabited private space.

Driven out of the shadows by Kuafu’s pursuit, even though Wu Chang said he had helped him break the lock, Xu Dejun trusted Wu Chang wouldn’t lie. Still, he chose a place that wouldn’t implicate others.

After the two sat down, Xu Dejun briefly organized his thoughts, then conveyed the vital information he was determined to deliver to Wu Chang.

"Be wary of the World Dungeon; the Bright Society has meddled with it."

Wu Chang squinted his eyes. Meddling with the World Dungeon—this information was indeed explosive.

"Tell me more."

Xu Dejun took out the metal card Wu Chang had previously refused, playing its content while explaining the entire process to Wu Chang.

After they parted last time, under Xu Dejun’s mediation, the Order Sect in the Realm of Reason gradually merged and began seeking opportunities to turn the tables.

The instigator of the Realm of Reason’s upheaval was the Evolution Sect, but what truly intimidated them was the Bright Society behind the Evolution Sect.

So, after the Order Sect integrated, they temporarily bypassed the Evolution Sect, investigating the Bright Society directly.

At this juncture, the opponent’s objective was certainly related to the World Dungeon. Following this clue, they indeed discovered something.

The World Dungeon differed from other dungeons; when Wu Chang first acquired the temporary management authority of the Desolate Realm, he had seen the World Dungeon through an administrator’s perspective from the middle layer.

It was a massive entity traversing both the Desolate and the Realm of Reason, as if a 1.5 layer was carved out between the Abyss First Layer and the Second Layer.

Once it fully formed, it would transform into a gigantic Pillar of the Present World, temporarily linking the Desolate Realm and the Realm of Reason together.

The Bright Society, having consolidated the Four Major Organizations’ temporary management authority in the Realm of Reason, was attempting to catalyze the World Dungeon’s growth towards the Realm of Reason through the middle layer’s influence using temporary management authority, intervening prematurely in the World Dungeon.

At this point, Xu Dejun sighed:

"Luckily, Lord Peace intervened bravely, stopping the Bright Society and Evolution Sect from taking over the Desolate Realm. Otherwise, with temporary management authority over both realms, the World Dungeon would completely fall under Bright Society’s control."

Wu Chang asked puzzledly, "Temporary management authority can influence the World Dungeon? I don’t remember it having that function."

Xu Dejun explained, "Temporary management authority can’t directly affect the World Dungeon, but as long as the management authority is strong enough, it can lock onto the general coordinates of the dungeon in advance."

"If you can lock onto the plane where the World Dungeon is located, then there are many ways to connect with it, the most common being the Power of Faith."

"The scene currently playing comes from an Order Sect player skilled at infiltration, possessing an extremely rare S-grade stealth skill, undetectable even by gods."

Complemented by Xu Dejun’s explanation, the images on the metal card switched accordingly.

The scene featured a standard candid perspective; Wu Chang had seen it many times on Old Fourth’s computer. He had reason to suspect the cameraman had once been in some special profession.

The camera angle was extremely cautious, with some series being more wary. Just by looking at the filming angles in the images, one could sense the camera operator’s meticulous caution.

Despite the careful movements, not a single important detail was missed by the cameraman.

The cameraman was truly deserving of being the King of Stealth with an S-level skill: high-tech security gates, mystical ceremonies, defense magic, cultivator arrays...

Various obstacles seemed non-existent before him, bypassed with ease.

As he continued deeper, a massive stone altar over thirty meters high appeared in the footage.

The altar was plastered with yellow talismans drawn in red ink, papers as dense as the small advertisements stuck in old apartment corridors.

Like scales, the talisman papers enveloped the massive bluestone altar tightly. On the top tier of the altar, four people were adjusting something.

One of them, standing over ten meters tall, was very conspicuous. Xu Dejun introduced him to Wu Chang as Kuafu, a former member of the Management Bureau, who was once the finest Breaker in the Abyssal Game, bar none.
