Chapter 428 The Power of Luck
With Hela's complete demise, the Underworld ritual was severed by the Sword of Order, and the troubles in the Underground Sanctuary plane came to an end.

Hela's appearance added a little danger to the trip, but it also allowed the surface purification ceremony to get on track ahead of schedule.

According to He Yun's previous plan, purifying the surface using the surface purification generator would not only require a massive amount of faith power, but also would require gathering all the underground survivors and taking decades to complete.

However, now, thanks to the repair by the Sword of Order, not only is a large amount of faith power saved, but the time has also been greatly shortened.

More importantly, Eileen's wielding of the Sword of Order perfectly embodies the doctrines of the Eternal Light Cult.

She truly saved this dead world and will lead believers back to the surface.

All it takes is to spread the news of what happened inside the secret research institute, and the Eternal Light Cult will become the common faith of all underground people, and it may even become the only religion in the world in the future.

Not to mention ordinary believers, even He Yi looked at Eileen with respect at this moment.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved smoothly, Wu Chang planned to take the group back to the underground shelter to prepare for their trip to the Realm of Reason the next day.

But when he came out of the Resonance Lab, he saw the drone possessed by He Yun's will land on the circular control panel in the center of the research department, attempting to invade her consciousness into the computer on the control panel.

"What are you doing?" Wu Chang asked, puzzled.

He Yun said, "I want this building. I can tell that it is a combination of technologies from multiple civilizations and has extremely high value."

"I want to connect my consciousness to the server here, but there is a strange force inside, like a special firewall, preventing my consciousness from entering."

Wu Chang's attention had been entirely focused on the Seed of Death and Hela's resentment, forgetting the value of the secret research institute itself.

Whether in Hela's resentment or in Hercules' resentment, he had seen what the research institute would look like when it was in operation.

Putting aside the brutal and high-pressure management of the Bright Society and the life-draining, toxic training, the training system within the research institute is far superior to the services offered by the Crimson Courtyard.

Simply put, this is a multi-functional training room covering various fields.

The training here is divided into specific parts, with corresponding training rooms and systems for everything from physical fitness, combat skills, use of cold and hot weapons, ability training, and even divine awakening and enlightenment.

For example, the resonance laboratory that activates the underworld rituals can be used by Wu Chang when he awakens his true divinity. By following the mature and scientific methods of the Light Society, his cultivation will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.

He Yun is right. If the secret research institute can be put to use, its value is no less than that of a private dimension.

However, as one of the core creations of the Bright Society, the secret research institute could not be easily infiltrated by He Yun.

He remembered seeing a member of the Light Society whose divinity was related to computers when he was at the Holy Song Company. The firewall that blocked He Yun must have been set up by that guy.

In times like these, it's time to consult the all-knowing crystal.

After a short wait, the Omniscient Crystal told Wu Chang that the reason He Yun was unable to take over the secret research institute was that the institute was still "networked".

The secret research institute established by the Light Society in the Desolate Realm is essentially an extremely large S-class item. Unlike items, it does not have clearly defined ownership, but the designer of the secret research institute has top-level management authority in the entire research institute system.

Wu Chang's conversion of the underground shelter copy into a private copy only prevented the Light Society from entering the plane; it did not sever the connection between the Death Temple Research Institute and the other research institutes.

In other words, no one else can use the secret research institute without the permission of the person who built this research institute system.

If an attempt is made to forcibly take possession, it will trigger the self-destruct mode of the secret research institute.

Unless one of two situations occurs, either using more advanced technology to forcibly break through the system using divine power.

For example, when He Yun is able to condense divinity and become a lower-level god, he might be able to bypass the management system by relying on his mechanical heart.

Another option is to try to sever the connection between the Death Temple Research Institute and the outside world, putting the Death Temple Research Institute into an offline state.

Disconnected from the outside world and unable to form a whole, the research institute alone can hardly resist the erosion of He Yun's mechanical heart.

Although He Yun's improvement speed is fast, it will be difficult for her to condense divinity in a short time. Option one takes too long, and Wu Chang is getting impatient.

As for Option Two, it looks difficult, but it's actually not simple at all.

This situation is equivalent to a deity projecting its image into the middle plane, and Wu Chang having to sever the relationship between the deity's true form and the projection.

Regarding Option Two, the Omniscient Crystal could not provide a reasonable and feasible solution, but it told Wu Chang that he could give it a try, and if he was lucky, he might be able to do it.

Wu Chang looked puzzled. What did he mean by being lucky enough to do it? Could such a thing be done by luck?

He felt it was somewhat unreliable and asked for confirmation, "How exactly should we try it?"

The Omniscient Crystal's answer was very brief: "Elbow it."

hiss.

Wu Chang took a breath and went to the central hub of the circular control panel. He wondered to himself, "Could it be that my Mamba Iron Elbow has become strong enough to work on non-living things?"
He said to the drone controlled by He Yun:

"In my world, there is a universal repair trick when something is malfunctioning."

He Yun asked curiously, "What little trick?"

Her consciousness had been in the real world for some time. Since it was also a technological world, she quickly grasped the knowledge of reality. How could she not remember any noteworthy little tricks?

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Just knock on it hard."

He Yun: "Huh?"

He Yun was currently controlling the drone and could not show her expression, but her panic could be heard from her voice.

The instruments on the circular control panel are all high-tech and extremely delicate. It's a miracle that they weren't damaged when Hela massacred the staff. Wu Chang knocked on them hard, and even though there were no problems before, he knocked them out.

Before she could even speak to stop him, Wu Chang had already slammed his elbow into the central control console.

"Man!"

He wasn't really reckless; he used his elbow as instructed by the Omniscient Crystal, but he didn't use any real force in it.

But just as his elbow was about to touch the instrument, his lord-level spatial magic told him that the space in this area had changed.

The underground shelter dimension was being sealed off by his elbow strike, as if it were about to be completely isolated from the outside world.

Just as their connection was about to be severed, he saw, through inspiration, a line extending from the central control console, piercing through space and leading to the void.

That wire is its "network cable" connecting it to other research institutes.

As luck would have it, the closed-off dimensional space just happened to squeeze the line to the spot where Wu Chang's elbow was about to touch.

When his elbow came into contact with the silk thread, it snapped instantly under his Mamba Iron Elbow, which was blessed by the blasphemer.

After he finished doing all this, He Yun finally spoke: "No!"

Wu Chang pursed his lips, retracted his elbow, and pointed to the circular control panel, saying:
"Why don't you try again now?"

He Yun didn't have high hopes for it, but since Wu Chang had suggested it, she decided to give it a try.

This test proved to be quite effective; half a minute later, her consciousness actually entered the circular control panel and took over the entire secret research institute.

The large screen, originally used to monitor Hella's condition in the underground space, now displayed He Yun's face. She looked at Wu Chang in surprise and asked:
"It actually works?!"

At this moment, He Yun felt that his understanding of mechanics and technology had been reshaped. No matter how you looked at it, Wu Chang had only tapped once.

She didn't understand what was happening, but she was deeply shocked.

Is there a trick to this tapping technique?

Wu Chang said noncommittally, "The secret is probably luck."

He now understood what had just happened, but he couldn't explain it to He Yun in just a few words. He could only wait until late at night to explain it to her slowly.

Just now, under his strike, the dimensional space began to close and shrink, exposing the network cable connecting the secret research institute to the outside world. The reason was not the Mamba Iron Elbow, but his luck.

The increase in luck value is not specifically reflected on his attribute panel, and the Abyss game does not provide any explanation on how to use this attribute.

But ever since he obtained 100 points of luck from the underground shelter dimension, his perception of the dimension has subconsciously become more intimate.

Everything on the surface, including the secret research institute he was in, was completely unfamiliar to him, yet it felt strangely familiar, as if it were his second hometown, which he had never seen before.

His intuition told him that this sense of familiarity was not an illusion, but rather the kindness shown to him by the underground shelter, as if the world was actively adapting to his presence. It was an indescribable feeling; until he gained enough luck, even though the underground shelter was his private dimension, he was always a guest whenever he entered.

It's as if he's just a tenant, temporarily holding the key to a house and able to use it freely during the lease term, but ultimately the house doesn't belong to him.

Now it's different. He seems to have become the master of this plane. Whatever he does in this plane, he will receive the plane's favor and everything will go exceptionally smoothly.

Everything that just happened was the result of the power of destiny.

The power of destiny he currently possesses is far from that of a chosen one of the planes; he can only be considered favored by the plane. Even so, he has managed to achieve this level of success.

The so-called power of destiny seems to be more effective than he imagined.
Unfortunately, while he brought life back to the surface, he mainly gained the power of the current plane's fortune, and the increase in permanent fortune was not significant.

He Yun's consciousness entered the central control console. By searching the internal experimental logs and controlling the various training rooms within the secret research institute, she gained a general understanding of the institute's functions.

In addition to the series of functions that Wu Chang saw in Hela's resentment, there is another special function inside the secret research institute.

That is, by consuming divine power and decaying silver coins, the flow of time in all training rooms can be slowed down, and the maximum time flow ratio between the real world and the training rooms can reach 1:100.

Wu Chang was originally troubled by the fact that all the dungeons he entered had turned into pillars of the real world, leaving him with a lack of dungeons to cultivate in. The appearance of the secret research institute completely solved this problem for him.

They sent away the divinity of death, the great resentment, and finally, a multi-functional training room.

He's being so polite, it makes him feel embarrassed.

The Realm of Reason, Headquarters of the Brightness Society.

Bonas, codenamed the God of the Network, had just finished inspecting the passage connecting to the world instance and returned to the headquarters of the Light Society.

He appeared to be a bald, middle-aged man with a large head that was unusually large, with a head circumference at least three or four sizes larger than normal.

In contrast to his well-developed brain, his body was hunched and thin, seemingly degenerating due to a lack of exercise, and he could only move around in a floating wheelchair.

From the outside, he seems no different from other strange people, but if you look closely, you can find that his body is not real flesh and blood, but is made up of countless tiny points of light and lines connected together.

His entire body is a vast network.

Bonas was an anomaly within the Light Society. Unlike the other members, the fantastical divinity within him was entirely fabricated by him, without any corresponding mythological reference in reality.

In a non-modern world, his combat strength would be extremely weak, perhaps even the weakest among all the official members. However, in a technologically advanced world, it is no exaggeration to say that his strength within the Light Society ranks among the top three.

However, Bonas prefers building, researching, and gathering intelligence to fighting.

A network is not only formed by connections between electronic devices; all connected people and things are connected by networks.

He was involved in the arrangement and construction of all the facilities in the Light Society, including the Imaginary Divinity and the Secret Research Institute, as well as the boundary-breaking rituals that influenced the Wilderness of the Light Society.

Every arrangement he made was a node in his network, constantly gathering the intelligence he needed.

At this moment, he is riding in a floating wheelchair back into the "Information Cube," a prop he created for himself, ready to engage in his favorite part of the day.

Spying on, no, monitoring all planes related to the Light Society.

dong dong dong.

A knock came from outside, and Bonas frowned; he didn't like anyone disturbing his happy time.

His "eyes" are everywhere in the entire headquarters of the Light Society, except for the bedrooms of the official members.

He had already seen Mercury standing outside the door before he opened it.

He waved to open the door and let the other person in.

Bonas asked, "What is it?"

Mercury maintained his smile, showing no displeasure at Bonas's tone.

In the game of Abyss, information is king; controlling enough information is equivalent to controlling everything.

Bonas's combat strength fluctuates greatly, but his status in the Light Society is by no means low, so people can only tolerate his bad temper and his voyeuristic habit.

Mercury said, "The world instance is about to begin. Because the world instance is too bloated, the regular connection with the wasteland has been severed. The boss asked me to find you and see how many of the seeds that were sown have survived."

Bonas, seeing that it was a serious matter that Huanxi had entrusted to him, dared not be negligent. He immediately brought up four images in front of him. In the first three images, a human figure appeared, but the fourth image was completely black.

"Except for the idiot who went to investigate peace, all the other seeds are thriving."

The seeds that Mercury spoke of refer to the four imaginary deities that the Society of Light released into the desolate realm.

Their choice of people was very clever. Even though White Wolf ran into Wu Chang and exposed his identity, the other three people were still not exposed under the large-scale search by the four major organizations.

Thinking of this, Bonas couldn't help but say:
"Peace is nothing more than this. You are just too cautious and have been scared into a state of fear by it."

"In the end, Peace is just a player. No matter how strong he is, he's still just one person. In the face of global changes, one person's power is insignificant. What can he possibly achieve?"

Mercury maintained his smile and offered no explanation.

Bonas was only able to make sarcastic remarks because he wasn't involved; once he encountered Peace, he would know how troublesome that guy was.

"Since there are no problems, I'll be going now."

Just as Mercury was about to leave, Bonas, who was still talking enthusiastically, suddenly changed his expression.

"not good!"

Mercury pulled his foot back halfway and asked, "What happened?"

Bonas said, "Someone broke into the secret research facility and is trying to take over my control. I'd like to see who dares to do that!"

"Oh, it's the Temple of Death. You might as well come and take a look."

Upon hearing about the Temple of Death, Mercury immediately became interested.

Normally, if anyone dared to mention the words "Temple of Death" in front of him, he would definitely find a chance to retaliate, steal one or two items from the other party, or trick them into signing a few contracts.

The Temple of Death is his eternal stain; to mention those four words in front of him is tantamount to openly slapping him in the face.

Ever since he was tricked by the painter and Hela, causing him to lose face in front of the Light Society, the Temple of Death has become his sensitive spot, triggering an agitation at the slightest touch.

Today, however, he didn't immediately lose his temper when he heard those four words.

He wrinkled his nose, and a phantom pain shot through the tip of his nose.

If he remembered correctly, the plane where the Temple of Death was located had been taken over by Peace and turned into a private plane.

In theory, only peace can enter the Temple of Death. It's obvious that the guy who wants to seize Bonas's authority must be related to peace.

Hela and Kam would go mad if any living person entered the Temple of Death. The fact that they had time to seize the Temple of Death means that Peace has either killed or sealed Hela away.

Bonas was shouting so loudly just now, he wanted to see if Peace could teach this big-time spy a lesson.

Bonas's serious expression lasted only a few seconds before he said with disdain:

"With such meager skills, you dare to seize control of my operations?"

Mercury asked calmly, "The other side failed?"

Bonas said with dissatisfaction, "Of course I saw her, a native who hasn't even reached the Realm of Reason. If she can steal my authority, I'll..."

When Mercury saw Bonas suddenly hesitate, he asked, "What do you mean?"

Before Bonas could respond, they saw a large dent suddenly appear on his astonishingly large head, where his nose should be, resembling the shape of an elbow.

Before Bonas could finish his sentence, he was thrown backward from his floating wheelchair, blood spraying in an arc through the air from his nose.

Seeing Bonas stagger to his feet from the ground, Mercury felt instantly relieved. He's always yelling like that, but now that you've been elbowed, you're getting a nosebleed too.
