Chapter 1740: Chapter 1738: Destination: Sharnoth
A confrontation with the Abyss guardian was a request Han Dong himself put forward.
Thus, it was considered a part of the Abyss Party,
The time spent on mythic advancement and resting had long exceeded the limits of the party, and Han Dong had been deemed to have automatically forfeited, prematurely ending his journey in the Abyss Party.
This Abyss Party journey experienced three different parties, thus earning “Abyss Points ×3”.
For the next visit, these can be spent among the parties, for instance, a top-tier treat like a grand feast would cost 3 points per person.
“Though I wish to continue the madness, when I think about it, it is already more than enough.
I’ve savored all there was to enjoy, and my gains are no less than those of the other participants…let’s go up! Now that I have reached the Mythic Body, there are many matters awaiting my attention.”
Much akin to the process of Falling.
Individuals who complete the Abyss Party must leave on their own, choosing their way to ascend freely.
They can climb or fly against the chaotic currents, and those with power can even directly use spatial transfer.
Although Han Dong had reached the mythic level, he was still quite self-aware.
In this place, he dared not recklessly use Void Transfer; a misstep could sweep him into an unknown abyss…instead, he chose the safest method.
A mass of black balloons tied to Han Dong’s hands dragged his body upwards as he floated.
While passing through some areas of the lower residents,
Their gazes were drawn to this peculiar sight, and as they stared at the balloons, manic laughter would echo within their skulls.
This unprecedented madness immediately brought them to a cerebral climax, and they had no intention of attacking Han Dong.
Some of the lower residents even mimicked the laughter.
Han Dong did not float directly towards the Chaos Court, but instead, under the traction of the balloons, descended to a familiar lower platform, where he had to pick someone up.
This was the area where the assessment of lower residents was conducted, and Han Dong directly approached the person in charge here.
“Excuse me, about the [Special Ghoul] I sent here before, what are the assessment results?”
The person in charge didn’t even have to check the records and quickly recalled such a special existence, as a low-rank species like the Ghoul hadn’t undergone assessment for lower residents’ status here in millennia.
“Is it the Ghoul named [Corpse Nation]?
Very good, it passed the assessment of lower status at the Ancestor Return level, a special existence that exceeds the norm… I am also pleased a special Ghoul like this can reside amongst the lower levels.
They should make some contributions in the ‘feeding frenzy’ aspect.
However, he was taken away by Christopher J. Green a day ago.”
“Oh, Green took him away?
I didn’t expect Corpse Nation to actually pass the lower residents’ test… to think a couple of months ago, anyone thought it was a Ghoul nearing death just a month ago.”
Han Dong had an ominous premonition that the “Chaos Sample” he obtained by chance might be snatched away.
Just then.
A familiar and powerful aura was sensed by Han Dong, with grey speckled tentacles growing from his head to resonate with such a pleasant feeling.
The person in charge of the lower assessment immediately glued himself to the ground, even sticking out his entire tongue to form a special formation on the ground to show his respect.
A pair of grey shoes stepped out, and the body appeared behind Han Dong.
“I’ve been waiting for you up there for a long time, why waste time here? You don’t need the lower residents’ status, do you?”
Han Dong quickly explained the Ghoul matter simply.
“Oh? Such a ‘Talent’ exists… if, as you say, there’s such transformation in a matter of months, even I am very interested.
He may even be chosen as your ‘replacement’.
However, from your current situation, no matter how special this Ghoul is, it cannot replace you.
Letting him stay in the Abyss is not bad, and if he possesses sufficient talent, he’ll naturally be selected by Chaos.
Come with me; I’ve been waiting for you for a day.”
“Senior, where are we going?”
Han Dong still wanted to meet Green and Sally.
“I have finished my business at the Chaos Court, and there are many matters in the kingdoms waiting for me to handle… taking you to my kingdom world is for one purpose only.
To complete your ‘reward’ from the London game.”
“The ‘Book of Dead Spirit’!”
“That’s right… such an extremely unstable thing can even threaten the world’s foundation.
The real remnant pages that we have been able to find and collect, are all kept in the depths of my kingdom, suppressed and sealed off with the cooperation of my incarnation and numerous Faceless Priests.
If you can successfully harness it, taking away a part or all of it, it can also save me a lot of trouble.”
“Okay!”
Han Dong quickly wrote a letter, handing it to the assessor lying on the ground, hoping he could pass it on to Green.
Under normal circumstances, the assessor would certainly refuse; he is the one responsible for the [lower] test takers… yet Han Dong could converse on such a level with a Grey Walker.
“I’ll do it immediately!”
He hurriedly rolled the letter into his body with his tongue, slithering into a special passage within the abyss wall, heading toward the court area like a snake.
Han Dong also thought: ‘As for the Doctor, let him stay here a while longer; such an opportunity is not easy to obtain again… once I recover the real remnants of the “Book of Dead Spirit”, I’ll go back and get him.’
The Walker gently patted Han Dong’s shoulder.
“Let’s go~ follow my speed.
Due to the cooperation just achieved with Chaos, a hidden passageway from the Mad Abyss to my realm has been established, and we can go directly from here.”
As soon as the words were out.
A circle of grey light wrapped around the walker’s body, which then soared at great speed upwards.
“So fast!”
Since the walker requested, Han Dong could not leisurely float with the balloons anymore.
Holding the “Brief History of Void,” he imprinted the corresponding blood symbols on his soles according to the formation described on one of the pages.
He recalled the special feeling when with the Pope.
The high-rank mimicry brought by the Mythic Body made Han Dong’s bald head almost seemed to emit starlight, making his whole being more transparent.
One step forward!
It felt different from before.
Han Dong seemingly glimpsed some Truth related to the Void, no longer as lost as before, feeling each step was firmly placed on the Void Road.
Even if chaotic currents were disrupting the space, he could accurately step on the slender, winding paths of the void.
Starlight twinkled between the abyss walls.
Using the “Void Step,” Han Dong kept pace with the Walker’s flight speed.
“Not bad!”
They traversed through different abyssal passages, continuing along unknown, narrow sub-abysses and Independent Abysses.
When approaching some remote location of the Chaos Star… a grey tunnel appeared at the bottom of an Independent Abyss.
Upon entering the passage, a feeling of compression and folding akin to planar warp was immediately felt.
Buzz!
A tremor within the skull.
When the vision gradually cleared.
A vast grey world appeared before their eyes, corresponding to the [World Deed (Superior King Level)] – Sharnoth… only a primordial, Super World like S-01 could separate out such a sub-world’s “World Deed.”
Only the top-level kings have the privilege to construct such a deed.
