Chapter 1 Angel's Fall

At the headquarters of the Angel's Fall guild, the undead thief returned after being resurrected and reported to Duo Duo.

"Guild Leader, I was just about to greet him when he rushed up and instantly killed me..." the undead thief began to badmouth Nie Yan to Duo Duo.

Duo Duo stared at him coldly. He stopped mid-sentence, realizing his mistake.

"Did you switch to Good alignment before meeting him, as I instructed?" Duo Duo asked in a deep voice.

The undead thief lowered his head. He had indeed forgotten. Duo Duo had asked him to meet Nie Yan but hadn't explained the whole situation clearly, nor had he asked him to trade anything with Nie Yan. He simply told him to guide Nie Yan to a nearby village. He didn't understand the importance of this matter and thought it was just a trivial task, so he was somewhat negligent.

"Hand over all your equipment. You're dismissed," Duo Duo said coldly.

"Why?!" The undead thief looked at Duo Duo with some unwillingness. He didn't understand why Duo Duo would fire him over such a small matter.

"I don't need a subordinate who ignores my orders, no matter how skilled they are!" Duo Duo's words completely dashed the undead thief's hopes. Duo Duo was very decisive on this matter.

This transaction with Nie Yan was simply too important. He kept everything a secret, even from some of his confidants. The more people who knew, the greater the danger. Only he and Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang knew the details of this matter. Both of them were too busy, so he thought of having someone guide Nie Yan to a nearby village first, and then he would personally trade with Nie Yan. He didn't explain it clearly to the undead thief, so the undead thief was a little negligent. The main reason was that the undead thief was too arrogant and took himself too seriously.

Duo Duo sent a message to Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang, saying, "Nirvana Flame has already arrived underground. Go and take a trip for me."

"The matter at hand..." Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang hesitated. Angel's Fall was currently embroiled in a fierce battle with six guilds, and there were many things to take care of.

"Leave it to me for now. If the transaction with Nirvana Flame is successful, it will be a great help to us. Take 350,000 gold coins and buy those equipment from Nie Yan. We'll discuss the guild war later."

"Alright," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said. He teleported back to the guild headquarters and took the necklace from Duo Duo.

Nie Yan hid in the ruins and waited for a while, about twenty minutes. He saw a figure walking from afar. Angel's Fall's response was quite fast.

Nie Yan went into stealth and saw a familiar figure: Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang had already switched to a Good alignment state.

Only then did Nie Yan reveal himself.

"What was that all about just now?" Nie Yan asked with a frown. Angel's Fall was too careless.

"There was a small accident. We've already fired that thief. Don't worry, only the guild leader and I know the details of the transaction between us in the entire Angel's Fall. That undead thief didn't know the contents of the transaction, which is why that accident happened."

Nie Yan nodded. It was good that Angel's Fall took it seriously. If the security measures weren't in place, there would be basically no chance for future cooperation after this deal.

"Did you bring the equipment?"

"I brought it."

Nie Yan applied for a trade with Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang and put the equipment on one by one. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang looked at it. The quality of these equipment was quite good. He estimated that it could definitely be sold for a lot of money, at least over a million gold coins. He put on 350,000 gold coins and said, "According to the agreement, 30% of the profits go to you."

Nie Yan confirmed the transaction. Calculating it, he could earn about 1.5 million gold by running back and forth to the underground for ten days. This rate of earning money was truly amazing. This was all thanks to the Dark Transmission Gate. Without the Dark Transmission Gate, this transaction would have been impossible to complete at the current level.

"Follow me, I'll take you to the nearest village. We'll be meeting there for the next few days."

"Alright," Nie Yan nodded.

Led by Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang, Nie Yan headed towards the nearest village. With Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang leading the way, he didn't have to spend several days searching for a village like last time.

After rushing forward for more than twenty minutes, they arrived at a hillside. Through the dense branches and leaves, they looked towards the distant plain. Far away, they could see a lighthouse.

"That's Besimmer in Bone Tooth Town. You can stay there for the next few days. In a few days, we'll collect the equipment you want and send it over to you," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said. "I have to go back first."

"Let's set a time to meet," Nie Yan said. He knew where the nearest town was, and that was enough. He could level up in the vicinity first and then go to the town when needed. After all, staying in the town was too dangerous.

"How about 21:00 three days from now?" Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang thought for a moment.

"If you don't see me at 21:00, we'll contact each other again," Nie Yan said. If he was doing a quest and couldn't come back, he could only postpone it. Anyway, he had Duo Duo's real-life phone number.

After Nie Yan discussed the specific matters with Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang, the two separated.

Nie Yan went to level up, while Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang returned to report.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang switched back to Evil alignment and then used a city return scroll to return to the city.

After Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang returned to the city, the entire Angel's Fall guild was bustling with activity. Most of these equipment had to be sold off. As long as they were sold, they could obtain a large amount of income, which would be very helpful for their guild war.

Angel's Fall was constantly annexing other guilds, and the other guilds were naturally unwilling. Therefore, the two sides were engaged in a full-scale war. Once the war started, Angel's Fall's expenses increased sharply. Selling these equipment was equivalent to solving their urgent needs.

As soon as these equipment appeared on the market, they exploded the entire market, causing players to frantically snap them up. A large amount of money continuously flowed into Angel's Fall's pockets. The 350,000 gold was quickly recouped, and there was still a lot of profit to be made. It was estimated that this successful transaction could earn at least 800,000 gold coins.

In Nie Yan's view, the popularity was expected. Since Angel's Fall had helped him a lot, he might as well let the other party earn a little as well. Everyone had profits to make, and with common interests, the relationship would naturally be stronger.

Nie Yan memorized the coordinates of Bone Tooth Town and began to follow the guidance of Bennett's Soul to find the next quest item.

He checked the quest progress.

Quest Progress: Searching for the Soul Object, currently 1/3 completed, next target: Eye of Finaas.

Nie Yan didn't know what this Soul Object was, but judging from the difficulty of this quest, it was at least an S-rank quest. Generally, the rewards for such quests were very generous.

Nie Yan searched for the word "Soul" on the official website and was somewhat horrified. Finding the Soul Object and using a suitable medium, one could use some special formations to gather the power of dozens of archmages and summon a Spirit Beast from another dimension. Generally, Spirit Beasts were at least level 70 or 80 Lord-level creatures. Once successfully summoned, it was equivalent to summoning an invincible war machine that could even crush the opponent's fortress.

Nie Yan had never heard of Spirit Beasts in his previous life. It should be that the quest to obtain a Spirit Beast was too difficult and ordinary people couldn't complete it.

The wish to summon a Spirit Beast could only exist in Nie Yan's imagination.

There weren't so many interesting things in his previous life. Just uncovering the sealed history ahead of time had revealed so much content. What would the fortress battles of the future be like? It was hard not to feel a little anticipation.

It wouldn't hurt to try doing this Soul Object quest. If he could complete it, that would be the best. If he couldn't, then he could only give up.

Bennett's Soul floated into the distance, as if guiding Nie Yan.

Nie Yan summoned the Golden Earth Dragon and followed. He looked and found that the destination of Bennett's Soul seemed to be in the direction of the Lava Sea. That was a lava region, and lava was more terrifying than any monster.

After thinking about it, he still had the Lava Heart in his hand, which could help him deal with the lava.

The Atlantean Continent was a continent with frequent volcanic eruptions, and the Earth's core was full of magma. To deal with magma, some special props were essential.

Passing through a graveyard, there were level 60 zombies holding large iron hammers everywhere. While leveling up, Nie Yan commanded five level 60 zombies to sweep through the area. Corpses littered the ground. After a while, a crisp system notification sound rang out. He looked at his level: level 56.

The leveling speed here was not bad. These zombies gave a lot of experience.

Passing through a dense, dark forest, Nie Yan arrived at the edge of the Lava Sea. Following the beach, a small island in the center of the Lava Sea caught Nie Yan's attention. It was an extremely large island surrounded by lava. In the center of the island was a huge volcano that was spewing black smoke upwards. The thick smoke billowed and shrouded the sky.

Many black plants grew on the island, but it was completely isolated. No one should have landed on that island, unless they went from the sky.

Guided by Bennett's Soul, Nie Yan walked along the beach of the Lava Sea. The beach was a thick layer of limestone, uneven and sometimes broken.

Nie Yan was walking on the beach, surrounded by emptiness. Suddenly, a team of people emerged from the forest behind, about twenty or thirty of them. They were all stunned when they saw Nie Yan.

The iconic image of the Golden Earth Dragon and the name of the God of Slaughter Nirvana Flame had already spread wildly in the Undead Empire.

Nie Yan didn't even know how many people he had killed in the Undead Empire along the way. Nie Yan had disappeared for five days, and everyone thought he had returned to the surface. They didn't expect to meet Nie Yan here again.

"Damn it, this is bad news."
