Master Changsheng

Chapter 188, page 185: [Attribute: ...Unknown] [Requesting monthly votes]

Beyond the "88 gaps".

This place has been cordoned off by the Longevity Organization, and no one is allowed to enter.

The area was shrouded in mist, preventing onlookers from seeing what was inside.

It has been three days since this place was sealed off by the Longevity Organization.

During this time, the Elf Queen came by, glanced at the place a few times, and then left.

A golden dragon from the Dragon Clan, who hadn't appeared for nearly fifty years, came by, but only glanced at the place before leaving.

Tracing back, this golden dragon is the ancestor of the golden dragon that Ankai rode...

Several elderly men with gray hair from the four major human associations also came by, but they only glanced at the place before turning away.

Enveloped in mist.

An altar, which Ankai saw in the [Divine Court Secret Realm], stands here!

The altar was divided into ten tiers and shrouded in thick fog.

The eighth-tier professionals from the four major human associations and the eighth-tier professionals from the elven race lay on the first to fifth levels of the altar.

The sixth floor is occupied by the current princess of the Black Dragon Clan.

The seventh level contains a "blood bead" formed from the blood of a million magical beasts. It is dark brown in color and emits a foul odor.

The eighth level is the [Heart of the Dead], formed from the cores of millions of undead creatures…

It's worth mentioning that the last person to possess the "Heart of the Dead" was Donglin.

With Donglin's death, the "Heart of the Dead" was also destroyed...

The ninth level is a "bead of flesh and blood" formed from the condensation of millions of living beings, which roars fiercely as if it wants to burst out of the "bead of flesh and blood".

The tenth floor…

There is only one thing!

A finger brimming with vitality, its shape resembling a little finger...

These are the things prepared by the Longevity Organization.

Used to awaken the true passage to the [Divine Court Secret Realm]!

Standing below the altar, Thorne, an eighth-tier, tenth-level archer, kept his gaze fixed on the severed finger on the tenth level of the altar.

As instructed by the "adult," this fingertip is the key.

It is also the key to finding the "secret to immortality"...

"As expected, the master has some connection with the [Divine Court Secret Realm]..."

Thorne muttered something to himself and didn't pursue the matter further.

He didn't dare to investigate further.

As instructed by "the Master", in five days, the altar will be connected to the passage in the [Divine Court Secret Realm].

At that time, the passage will be awakened.

Within the [Divine Court Secret Realm], the greatest secret about immortality will also be revealed.

This is also the excuse that the immortality organization uses to persuade those old people who never die.

"Immortality...immortality..."

Thorne smiled dismissively, withdrawing his gaze from the altar and looking at the [Divine Court] restriction behind him.

One thing kept popping into my mind.

If "Master" is truly from the Divine Court, or has an inseparable connection with the Divine Court...

So what is the relationship between Hanks-Kay, the one referred to as the "Heir of the Divine Court" by Donglin, the legitimate successor of the Divine Court, and "Master"?

Upon a moment's thought, Thorne found it amusing.

However, I'll have to change my mind about the idea of ​​killing Hanks Kay that I considered before...

It's possible that Hanks Kay might become his colleague...

The probability is very high; I'm not kidding.

After all, Hanks Kay's talent is undeniable.

...

"M-Sir, just what is your strength?!"

Dog Egg couldn't help but be shocked. He walked over to An Kai and asked the question that everyone was concerned about.

As soon as he asked his question, Wayne, the Golden Dragon, Alli, Pianzi, and other creatures who had followed Ankai out to sea all pricked up their ears.

His breathing subsided, awaiting Ankai's response...

On the deck of a ship less than a kilometer from the entrance to the Divine Court Secret Realm, An Kai put down the hind leg of the Desert Crocodile that he had just fished out of the sea.

He tossed the bone to Jinlong like he was feeding a dog…

I was thinking of just tossing it to Dog Egg, but then I thought about how this guy is quite capable and useful.

They can be assigned to Ankai's side, so they don't need to be treated like "pets" for the time being.

He stood up and ruffled Dog Egg's fluffy head: "I'm just an ordinary apprentice mage."

After saying that, it was as if he had guessed that Gou Dan and the others didn't believe him.

With a wave of his hand, without saying a word, Wayne pulled out a state-of-the-art detector from his pocket.

After Ankai took it, he aimed it at himself and probed...

[Rank: First Rank, First Level]

[Attributes: ...unknown...unknown...unknown...unknown]

"See, I, Ankai, never lie!"

Gou Dan was taken aback. At An Kai's prompting, he took the detector from his hand and began to probe himself.

[Rank: Seventh Rank, Tenth Level]

[Attributes: Intelligence: 5000+...Unknown...Unknown...Stamina: 5000+]

The information in my hand, the displayed attribute value, is exactly the maximum value of the detector.

As for the two unknown attributes, they are attributes resulting from Dog Egg's own energy level increase.

Holding the detector, Gou Dan frowned.

He glanced at An Kai's smiling face, and at An Kai's slight nod, he aimed at An Kai and used...

[Rank: First Rank, First Level]

[Attribute: ...unknown...]

...

verified.

Either Ankai tampered with it, or the fat detector merchant Andoun tampered with it.

As for An Kai's self-proclaimed strength of "First Tier, First Level", Dog Egg would never believe it even if he were beaten to death.

Looking back, it wasn't just him; everyone else also had the same disbelief.

It's not their fault, after all, who has ever seen a first-level, first-tier being instantly kill a seventh-level, tenth-tier being?

The opponent is not an ordinary seventh-tier tenth-level cultivator; he is the heir to a dwarf king!

His strength, experience, and the magic he has mastered are all top-notch in the Dwarven Kingdom!

Even such an heir was no match for An Kai!

With a light tap of An Kai's finger, he was instantly killed!

Gou Dan held the detector, his black and white face, resembling that of a husky, filled with confusion.

An Kai smiled and his eyes narrowed when he saw this.

That's just right!

This is what he remembered the husky, often referred to as one of the "three silly sled dogs."

The name "Dog Egg" is truly well-deserved.

In fact, An Kai was not lying.

According to the system prompt, he was indeed only at the first level of the first tier.

Of course, judging from the level of his spells, Ankai belongs to the sixth rank, first level.

The [Lv51] Meditation Method "Elements, Starry Sky", and the spell [Elemental Ice Armor] which was upgraded to [Lv51] three days ago!

After Ankai obtained a high-grade magic stone from the heir of the Dwarf King, he began to ponder which spell he should upgrade.

He was faced with only two choices.

Either upgrade your [Attack Spells] or upgrade your [Defense Spells]...

Among them, the [Attack Spells] are a choice between [Wind and Fire Blast] and [Thunder Spell].

The [Defense Spell] options are much simpler; I'll only choose [Elemental Ice Armor]...

After much thought, he realized that some powerful forces were watching him from the outside.

Ankai ultimately decided to upgrade his [Defense Spells]!

[14513] mid-grade skill points were consumed again, along with [10000] high-grade magic stones, a small mountain of resources...

[Elemental Ice Armor] has been upgraded!

The [Elemental Ice Armor Lv50] has been upgraded to [Elemental Ice Armor Lv51 『5000 Low-grade + 500 Mid-grade』].

With this upgrade, [Freeze] and [Elemental Defense] have been completely integrated into [Magic Armor].

The trinity, [Magic Armor] is [Elemental Ice Armor].

The reason for this is that the changes to [Magic Armor] are the most noticeable in this upgrade!

When the [Fairy Armor] skill is upgraded from [Lv41→Lv50], it increases the defensive power from [total of the four attributes x1.1] to [total of the four attributes x2.0].

This time, the leapfrog advancement made [Fairy Armor] seem to have undergone a complete transformation!

The former 3.5-meter-tall giant has changed.

If Ankai actively activates it, the [Magic Armor] will manifest a five-meter-tall, pitch-black giant with extremely high temperature!

At the same time, when using [Lv51 Magic Armor], it will automatically absorb surrounding magical elements to replenish itself and gather stronger defensive power.

As it happens, it's because of [Spell Fusion].

When [Magic Armor] is cast, [Freeze] and [Elemental Defense] will be cast simultaneously!

These two spells represent different elements. One represents the ultimate ice element, and the other represents the magical elements the spell itself possesses: fire, ice, light, wind, and the spell's own magical elements.

The five magical elements enhance the [Magic Armor] spell, thus strengthening its defensive capabilities.

Their effects are also concentrated on the five-meter-tall jet-black armor of the [Magic Armor]!

The [Freeze] skill has been upgraded from [Lv50] to [Lv51]. Originally, it would freeze any creature within a 700-meter radius around the user with attributes lower than Ankai's.

At best, it impairs mobility; at worst, it freezes one in the air.

Upgrading to level [Lv51] didn't bring any new changes; instead, it added 500 meters to the current range!

The current area affected is within a 1200-meter radius of Ankai!

But all of this has become the effect of [Magic Armor]!

When the [Freeze Spell] is cast, it is instantly absorbed by the [Armor Spell], forming an impenetrable layer of ice within a 10-meter radius around the armor…

Not only does it have a low temperature, but it also has super strong defense capabilities!

Absorbing the [Freeze Spell] into the [Armor Spell] is equivalent to the [Armor Spell] compressing the 1200-meter [Freeze Spell] around Ankai!

Of course, all of this can be done according to Ankai's wishes.

He could also prevent [Frost Armor] from absorbing [Freeze]...

Continue to maintain the 1200-meter radius [Freeze] spell...

After absorbing the spell, the magic armor forms a 10-meter-wide super-strong defensive layer around the user, including not only [Freeze] but also [Elemental Defense]!

[Elemental Defense] has been upgraded to [Lv51], doubling the overall defensive strength compared to [Lv50]!

This is the system's explanation.

Now, this doubled defensive strength has become part of the super-strong defense within a 10-meter radius around [Magic Armor]!

This is why Ankai called [Elemental Ice Armor] a [Magic Armor].

Ankai was unsure exactly how much stronger the defense would be after the upgrade.

All that is known is that Dog Egg, this seventh-tier, tenth-level behemoth, could only break through An Kai's incredibly strong defense, which extended to within one meter of An Kai's [Elemental Ice Armor], despite his full strength…

This upgrade has given Ankai an overwhelming sense of security…

This gave him more confidence to sabotage the "Longevity Organization's" plan.

two days ago.

In the side quest, Ankai clearly sees that the eighth-tier, tenth-level Thorne is working to completely awaken the passage within the Divine Court Secret Realm.

They're actually preparing to sacrifice six Rank 8 professionals!

Among them are Nurnexus and the current princess of the Black Dragon Clan, an eighth-tier, tenth-level Black Dragon, whom the Golden Dragon has been longing for!

In addition, there are millions of living beings, millions of monsters, and millions of undead as the catalyst.

This heinous act made An Kai quite certain that the Longevity Organization had come prepared this time!

Furthermore, Ankai also clearly sees in the side story that the actions of the Longevity Organization Thorne were tacitly approved by those powerful forces.

The reason for this is that some old people whose lifespans are nearing their end are unwilling to die.

At this moment, the Longevity Organization gave An Kai a certain feeling.

There was a feeling that they were "black hands" cultivated by those powerful forces.

The dirty and tiring work is all handed over to the Longevity Organization.

Even if they fail, it has nothing to do with them.

They remain a powerful force, high above, holy, and like the saviors of the continent!

An Kai was well aware that if the Longevity Organization succeeded, it would only bring him harm and no benefit.

Not to mention that the [Divine Court Secret Realm] was right beside him.

He also possesses the cores of the [First Level of the Divine Court] and the [Second Level of the Divine Court].

Given that these powerful forces are obsessed with "immortality," An Kai is quite certain of it.

If he were captured by the Longevity Organization, an organization that specializes in doing dirty work for powerful forces, he would inevitably be dissected and studied.

After all, he had been recognized by the Longevity Organization and possessed the same longevity aura as Donglin…

Therefore, with the thought that no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned, An Kai was bound to use his own methods to sabotage the Longevity Organization's plans.

Even if we can't sabotage them, we can't let them complete their task peacefully.

Only when he could not destroy it did Ankai prepare to run away.

The side quest clearly shows that the Longevity Organization's plan will take eight days!

Including today, there are five days left!

By timing it precisely, the heightened concentration brought about by meditation can be used again.

It can only be used for one minute every 24 hours.

This cooldown time is the protection time determined by the system based on Ankai's own conditions.

With a single thought, use it with high concentration.

His mind quickly began to deduce how to disrupt the connection between the longevity tissue and the channels.

A minute passed in the blink of an eye.

An Kai stood on the deck, his brows furrowed, but after a moment, he let out a soft sigh.

His brow furrowed because, according to his deductions, he had not found a way to disrupt the Longevity Organization's plans.

Ankai breathed a sigh of relief because although he hadn't found a way to destroy it, he had found a way to deal with the disgusting immortal organization.

To refine this further, An Kai is confident that he can render the Changsheng Organization's plans futile, and that he can incite the Changsheng Organization to...

The Orcs' War!

As for what's inside the passage, An Kai didn't know.

He wasn't prepared to handle it on his own.

The fact that the Longevity Organization is preparing to forcibly awaken the channel means that An Kai's plan has been brought forward.

Unfortunately, we need to change our approach this time, as the original method is no longer suitable.

As the old saying goes, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

An Kai believed that when it came to the matter of the passage, the major powers were the ones in control…

They should be the ones to solve their problems!

"Go, bring me the Orc King's avatar, the Eighth Orc Prince, and the Twenty-Eighth Orc Prince, Gulaier."

"Also, prepare another 10 orc training dummies for me; I need them."

Wayne and the Golden Dragon received their orders together…

Led by the golden dragon, Wayne sped towards the House of Goodness…

On the way back to the House of Goodness, Wayne couldn't help but feel helpless for the orcs.

I haven't even figured out a method to extract the lifespan of orcs yet, and it's already going to be used up by the adults...

Requires 10 orcs at once; it's bound to be a massive undertaking…

The Good House, where the beastmen who worked hard to save money for a trip to the alien pleasure house, suddenly received a notice.

Have them gather at the pier…

Of the 100,000 orcs, after years of development and depletion by the Good Household, less than 250,000 orcs remain.

This is equivalent to losing half of the orcs...
