Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 747 - 334: I Need an Explanation

Due to the time flow ratio of 15:1 between the Faith Dungeon and reality, by the time Wu Chang and Erin returned to reality, it was already the evening of June 11th.

It had been a day and a half since they entered the Cursed Dungeon.

Back in reality, Wu Chang stretched lazily, taking a deep breath of the real world’s air.

This time spent in the Abyssal Game was longer than ever before. After the Cursed Dungeon ended, he hurried to the Silent Route and Peaceful Town.

He hadn’t felt it before, but after spending a long time in the Abyss, returning to reality, he could feel a lightness even in the air he breathed into his body.

In contrast, in the world of the Abyssal Game, no matter the situation, even in Gao Mu Country, a plane completely belonging to him, the air carried a hidden heaviness.

That heaviness made him feel oppressed and anxious, urging him to complete something quickly.

That trace of heaviness might be a manifestation of the Abyss’ erosion.

Feeling the relaxation from inside out, Wu Chang confirmed once again that he must not let the Abyss’ erosion drag the real world down.

First, start by purifying Wanghai City.

Under the cover of night, Wu Chang and Erin arrived at the auditorium of Wanghai First High School, the core node of Erin’s Earthly Divine Kingdom in Wanghai City.

Erin came to the front podium of the auditorium and planted the Tree of Miracles.

At the time, Wu Chang had planted a false miracle here, seizing the Divine Kingdom of the Revelation. Now they would plant the Divine Kingdom Tree transformed from the false miracle again, turning the Earthly Divine Kingdom into Erin’s true Divine Kingdom.

With the blessing of Wu Chang’s temporary management authority, the Tree of Miracles grew extremely quickly.

As it grew upwards, its roots spread along the mystic patterns of the Earthly Divine Kingdom, extending across Wanghai City.

In less than an hour, the Earthly Divine Kingdom of Wanghai City was incorporated into Erin’s large Divine Kingdom.

This meant that henceforth, Wanghai City would truly be Erin’s Divine Kingdom, and the rules of the Divine Kingdom would influence reality through the temporary management authority.

The effects Erin’s Divine Kingdom could achieve in the Abyssal Game would similarly occur in reality, unbound by the rules of reality.

For instance, if Erin could, like the Master of the Deep Sea, sink the continent within her Divine Kingdom’s coverage area into the seabed, she could achieve such an extent in Wanghai City as well.

Although Erin, due to her low divine rank, cannot consolidate the characteristics of the Divine Kingdom, as long as she is in Wanghai City, she can receive the Divine Kingdom’s bonuses and mobilize the Power of Faith from other planes at any time.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even if nuclear war broke out now, with reality turning into a wasteland like the Underground Shelter plane, the surface becoming ruins, Wanghai City, where Erin’s Divine Kingdom is located, would remain unscathed.

Not to mention nuclear war, any top player from the second layer outside of Joy entering Wanghai City would be struck twice by Erin.

This is the quality of the control rules of a Divine Kingdom, unless suppressed by a Divine Kingdom of the same level, even those with Divinity would be ineffective.

Watching the Tree of Miracles, Wu Chang couldn’t help but think of the Painter.

If the Painter was unwilling to give up and dared to return to Wanghai City for a rematch, as soon as he stepped into the Divine Kingdom, he wouldn’t leave in one piece.

Gazing at the gigantic Tree of Miracles that towered, encompassing the entire Wanghai City, Wu Chang felt completely at ease.

The establishment of the Divine Kingdom gave him the confidence to fearlessly face any unforeseen changes, even if the Bright Society truly conquered the Desolate Realm and controlled reality in the future, it wouldn’t affect him.

Back home with only two hours until dawn, before heading to the Management Bureau, he opened the Attribute Panel and chose to upgrade Space Magic.

After the Management Bureau paid the reward in Rotten Silver Coins, coupled with the Cursed Dungeon’s settlement, his Rotten Silver Coins reached nearly 380,000.

Even so, when he saw that upgrading the cultivation technique deducted 200,000 Rotten Silver Coins in one go, he still felt a pang of heartache.

As the number of Gold Coins quickly decreased, his understanding of Space Magic gradually intensified, and in a daze, he saw many lines.

He quickly realized this was the Eye of Breaking Method and Space Magic interacting, allowing him to glimpse the essence of space.

He let his Inspiration go, allowing the Eye of Breaking Method to perceive the essence of space. As Space Magic advanced, he saw more and more lines.

The world in his eyes gradually became divided into countless small grids by the interwoven horizontal and vertical lines.

At first, he could only see them but could not touch them.

Later, he thought of the method of using Space Folding, and his body could touch these grids.

Then, following the instinct given by his Inspiration, using Will as an extension of his body and aided by Energy, he could touch grids far from him.

His gaze locked at the farthest part of the room, where a vase was placed, and he tried to use Will and Energy to "grasp" the grid where the vase was.

The next moment, as the grid around the vase was compressed, its shape started to distort, and when the distortion exceeded the limits of the vase’s body, it exploded with a bang.

「You have upgraded Space Magic to Grandmaster Level, reaching the maximum level of Space Magic. Your Life Attribute increased by 10 points, Energy Attribute increased by 25 points, Inspiration Attribute increased by 10 points, Will Attribute increased by 25 points.」

Truly, it’s a feat to raise a cultivation technique to maximum level with 200,000 Rotten Silver Coins, just by advancing the technique from B to A, it increased his attributes by 70 points.

Value for money, compared to spending 150,000 Rotten Silver Coins to upgrade to A-Level Thunder Skill Fragment, though the price was higher by 50,000, the Attribute Points were 20 more.

If 50,000 Rotten Silver Coins could purchase 20 Attribute Points, those top players from major forces would go mad buying them.
