That is the law of motion between celestial bodies.

It is also the truth that exists among all things.

And staring at the fluorescent light outside Astesia.

In a trance, Xia Yan seemed to see thousands of stars on a dark curtain, being pulled and moved by countless invisible "threads", drawing out geometric orbits.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the light on Asthesia disappeared.

The blue light in his eyes dimmed.

The holy fluorescence lingering around his body dissipated.

The aura that emerged from her delicate body, as vast as the laws of celestial movement and as solemn as some kind of worldly truth, also disappeared.

Asthesia blinked.

"I didn't feel the pull of the [Heaven] on me."

There was a hint of excitement in her voice.

"Although only a small amount of divine power has been unlocked, there's no sign of triggering a forced return to the [Heaven]... This method is feasible."

"Don't jump to conclusions yet."

Xia Yan calmed down for a moment, his mind that had just been slightly shocked, and turned to look at Irena who stepped into the inner space of the [Holy Grail] through a light door that appeared out of thin air beside her.

"how?"

"The barrier I set up outside and the illusion that blurs the line between reality and illusion show no signs of being broken."

Irena replied:

"If, as you say, the process of this world's gods being forcibly sent back to the [Heaven] is essentially unstoppable by external forces, then that means my barrier and illusion haven't been destroyed by divine power or some other rules."

Hearing this, Asthesia finally couldn't hold back and revealed a happy smile on her face.

Xia Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the 'dowry' given by Asthesia was indeed very generous. If he could really transfer the assets belonging to the 'Meteor Goddess' under her name from the [Heaven] to the [Holy Grail] that he had refined into a magic weapon, it would be a leap forward for both him and the [Holy Grail].

The prerequisite for transferring the 'Meteor Goddess' assets is that they cannot be discovered by the [Heaven].

Even in this hodgepodge of myths, the assets of a mere "Meteor Goddess" are nothing to a listed monopoly company like Heaven, but if you want to hide it from Heaven, you absolutely cannot do it openly.

Fortunately, Xia Yan remembered Artemis who appeared in the Dicuo theatrical version "Orion's Arrow". Because a member of her own family was attacked by the divine assassin Scorpio "Andaris", she was forced to use her divine power to activate the backup hidden energy to explode with him. However, because Scorpio "Andaris" was a special anti-god monster specially created in the dungeon maze, it could restrain the divine power, resulting in the failure of the two to die together.

Afterwards, Artemis was swallowed by the Scorpio "Andaris", and the process of forced repatriation to [Heaven] was also interrupted. It was not until the protagonists killed the Scorpio "Andaris" that Artemis was able to return to [Heaven] to read the 10,000-year fountain resurrection.

Therefore, combining the settings of the original work and the theatrical version, Xia Yan speculated that it is impossible to prevent the gods in the lower world from forcibly sending people back to the [heaven], but they can be isolated and shielded by physical means, just like the scorpion "Andaris" in the theatrical version ate Artemis' body, causing Artemis who used divine power to be unable to return to the [heaven] at all.

Since the monsters bred in the dungeon maze directly eat the flesh of the gods in the lower world in a physical form, it can prevent the gods who have used their divine power from being dragged back to the [Heaven].

Then, it should also be possible to physically isolate Artemis' current body from the outside world and block any connection.

The facts were just as he guessed.

"The remaining problem, then, is that the current Greater Holy Grail is insufficient to fully bear the power of the Meteor Goddess."

"It's okay, Xia Yan."

Asthesia chuckled, raised her hand to her forehead, and lightly touched it with her index finger.

Then, a crown of thorns, as if woven and constructed with starlight, appeared above her head.

"From now on, I will use the reversed path of the [Essence] God to dismantle myself, no, dismantle the godhood of the Meteor Goddess. First, I will separate the Meteor Goddess's true divine quality—celestial gravity—as the [Crown] of the tenth Essence and integrate it into the [Greater Holy Grail]. By grafting the identity of the Meteor Goddess onto this magical weapon, it will naturally gradually accommodate the other Essences I will subsequently separate."

"Once all of the separated Essences—Wisdom, Understanding, Compassion, Severity, Beauty, Victory, Glory, and Foundation—are integrated into the Greater Holy Grail, I will be able to transfer the final and original Essence—the Kingdom, that is, all of my divine power and divinity—to the Greater Holy Grail. From tonight onwards, this magical weapon will be the 'Meteor Goddess,' and I—will be just an ordinary Terra Liberi, Astercia Ubica."

After saying that, Asthesia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and looked at Xia Yan expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

"Then, I will have the [Great Holy Grail] perform an incomplete soul materialization on you, transforming you into a Servant and storing you within the [Great Holy Grail]."

Xia Yan said quietly:

"At the same time, the completely transformed Greater Holy Grail can also serve as my first essence - the kingdom. With your help in stealing and withdrawing the divine power of certain gods in the Heaven, I can complete the entire artificial virtual heaven..."

"Other Level 1 adventurers who build their first Essence Kingdom simply 'integrate' their physical bodies with their spiritual realms, thus constructing an 'administrative agency' or 'state apparatus' that spans the material and immaterial realms... But mine, my first Essence Kingdom, is a divine artifact refined and sublimated by an immortal True God of the [Heavenly Realm], incorporating his own godhead and divine nature... Once it's completed, the [Great Holy Grail], no, in a sense, a replica of the [Haotian Tower], will become my life-long magical treasure."

Asthesia added a final, rather weighty statement.

"And I will be with you forever."

(PS: I'm still a little stuck, but I finally finished the magic modification and gave the magic modification the explanation it deserves...

...By the way, let me explain in detail that the protagonist will definitely be involved in the [Essence] system, my magically modified and recreated [God's Favor] system. However, Xia Yan's starting level 1 is a bit high. After that, the nine Essences must be filled with artifacts that cannot be lower than the artifacts that a crazy god killed his predecessor to help refine and sublimate, in order to upgrade from LV1 all the way to LV10~)

The fourth instance: 115. Dungeon maze buildings and monsters (5k+)

Question: In a world with gods, swords, and magic, where humans and gods coexist, is it idealistic or materialistic?

Answer: Materialism.

Therefore, in such a materialistic world, time will not stop because of someone or something.

So, when the sun and the moon, the gods in the [heaven] were all slacking off, skipping work, slacking off and taking vacations, they still diligently completed another cycle of day and night.

As the sun, which rose as usual without the need for the sun god, climbed up the sky, the labyrinth city of Orario, which had been quiet for a night, became lively again, just as it had been for the past thousand years.

A series of industrial chains derived from the adventurer industry began to operate.

The sound of forging continued to be heard from the blacksmith shops owned by the various families of the God of Craftsmen.

Restaurants prepare food produced by farming, breeding or fishing communities and serve it on the table.

The same is true for other industries.

At the same time, after a night of rest and gathering their strength, the adventurers, after making sufficient preparations, either alone or in groups, stepped into the entrance of the dungeon maze under the Tower of Babel.

As the lowest-level adventurers, a large number of LV1 and LV2 adventurers would wander in the shallow layer of the dungeon maze close to the surface, accumulating "experience" in the hope of an unattainable upgrade, while killing low-level monsters to harvest the magic stones in their bodies, and then taking them out to hand over to the guild in exchange for rewards.

The guild will also consistently purchase magic stones produced by low-level adventurers, use this to issue currency to drive the entire maze city's industrial chain, and then use the purchased magic stones in magic props created based on the magic stones.

In Earth's terms, magic stones are equivalent to resources such as oil and natural gas. The currency issued by Orario is also related to magic stones, and it affects the business and finance of the entire underworld through the international trade network centered on Orario.

If it weren't for the numerous LV1 and LV2 low-level adventurers in Orarium who toiled day after day, year after year, for thousands of years without interruption, there would be no economic system that seems somewhat abstract and bizarre today.

Even lower-level adventurers who killed dungeon monsters in the shallow layers often had to collect the blood, body tissue, and feces left behind by certain monsters that had not been recycled by the dungeon, and bring them back to the surface to sell to guilds or production clans. The latter would recycle these monster remains and make them into consumables such as potions, or high-value fertilizers, and then transport them through trade networks and sell them to kingdoms and city-states outside of Orario.

It can be said that without the large number of low-level adventurers in Orario acting as slaves, or without the low-level monsters that constantly die and spawn in the shallow layers of the dungeon maze, not only will the business and financial crises trigger wars between the kingdoms and city-states in the underworld, but the subsequent 100% outbreak of famine and a decline in overall social productivity will also turn the world into purgatory.

This is why the dark faction and some other conspirators are thinking about how to destroy Orario and uncover the dungeon maze.

The re-invasion of the surface by monsters from the dungeon maze on a large scale may not necessarily destroy the netherworld, but if Orario is destroyed, and loses a large number of lower-level adventurers to work as miners, the end of the world will be imminent.

however.

In fact, not many people realize that the low-level adventurers living in the maze city are the key to determining whether the end of the world will break out.

Even the gods who came to the underworld for fun might not be able to discover this fact.

Unless His divinity contains qualities related to business or trade.

Even the low-level adventurers who act like cattle and horses don’t know how important they are.

So, when those famous high-level adventurers appeared before their eyes, they were like tiny candles, hiding to the side in shame in front of the radiant "sun".

"That's a first-level adventurer from Loki's clan. Get out of the way! Don't block the path of those important figures..."

"Make way. Don't cause trouble for your own clan. We can't afford to provoke anyone from Loki's clan..."

"Sword Princess and the Amazon sisters... didn't Loki's family just finish an expedition? They're splitting up and entering the dungeon again so soon after returning... They're talented, and they work harder than us. Sigh, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating..."

The lower-level adventurers who had been crowded in front of the dungeon maze entrance suddenly retreated to the left and right like Moses parting the sea, making way for a wide passage. The sisters Ai Si and Silut were already accustomed to the lower-level adventurers' panicked yet respectful expressions when they saw them.

"Ais, didn't we just finish an expedition? There's no need for you to go down to the maze to train so soon, right?"

Ignoring the noise of the crowd around her, Tiona, the younger sister of the Amazon sisters, lowered her voice and said to the Sword Princess who was walking in front:

"I know you're upset because of what happened yesterday... but didn't Loki say that person was probably level 10? Even Finn is way behind him~!"

"But there's a chance to catch up."

Ais said firmly:

"Loki also said that she also thought that reaching Level 10 adventurer was a miracle that could not happen, but now the miracle has happened."

"Well, it's a good thing that Aisi wants to work hard to improve herself."

Seeing Sword Princess's almost paranoid attitude, Tione, the older Amazon sister, stopped her sister from continuing to persuade her.

"Anyway, Finn asked us to accompany her. As long as we don't go to a deeper level that requires a clan expedition to reach, three Level 5s can escape unscathed even if we reach the 37th floor."

"Ugh."

Tiona sighed helplessly.

But on second thought, what his sister Tione said was right. Three LV5 monsters working together could directly wipe out most of the small and medium-sized clans in Orario. In the dungeon maze, generally only when they reached the 30th floor and happened to encounter a monster lord with the strength of LV6 could their lives be threatened.

So, he gave up trying to persuade Sword Lady, who had been extremely excited since the family reminiscence last night.

After all, she also felt that the so-called 'LV10' was unreal, but yesterday she also witnessed with her own eyes that the LV7 and two LV6 members of Freya's family were completely defenseless and were easily restrained and unable to move.

Moreover, according to the reports from members of their own clan who went to follow, all other LV6 and LV5 first-level adventurers of Freya's clan also headed to the outer wall area of ​​Orario after receiving the news. But let alone breaking into the abandoned church, they tried hard for the whole night, and could not even move the three people who were fixed in place, let alone rescue the chief and deputy chief of their clan and another LV6 senior official.

It was not until daybreak that the effect of the [magic] that Loki called "divine power" was automatically lifted, and the LV7 and two LV6 members of Freya's family regained their "freedom". With a look of unwillingness and frustration on their faces, they quietly left with the other first-level adventurers of Freya's family who came to "rescue" them, covered in dust.

To be honest, Tiona was also a little scared. She had not experienced the era of Zeus and Hera's family. In her cognition, LV6 was already the most powerful adventurer, because the three heads of the family were veterans who had reached LV6 for many years. Any one of them could easily defeat her, a LV5 newbie, in a single fight. And the leader of Freya's family, LV7 Ota, was even more powerful than she could imagine.

However, this peak was ruthlessly broken yesterday, right in front of her.

Even though she didn't like to use her brain or think about complicated things, Diona knew that others could easily break the peak of Freya's family and destroy Loki's family... This feeling that her life was not in her own hands and could be taken away by others at any time reminded her of her painful childhood in the Fighting Kingdom - Tirskura.

Thinking of this, Tiona couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, and she suddenly felt a great deal of identification with her best friend (self-proclaimed) Sword Princess - Ess Wallenstein's desire to work hard to improve herself.

Then, with a series of complicated thoughts in mind, the Amazon sisters followed Sword Lady into the entrance of the dungeon maze.

As a labyrinth located under the entire world, no one knows how big it is or how far it covers, even if it is just the shallow part close to the surface, or the area under the labyrinth city of Orario.

The areas that Orario adventurers have set foot in, even in the shallow layers close to the surface, are only a small part of the dungeon maze, and the complex winding roads are enough to trap those who get lost forever.

Therefore, even if there are three LV5s in the shallow maze, they will not rashly move away from the explored areas of the maze levels released by the Adventurer's Guild and go deep into the unknown and dark corners without an accurate map.

Of course, although Sword Lady and the Amazon sisters are very young, being able to reach LV5 also means that they are already experienced adventurers.

Compared to LV1 and LV2 adventurers who need to strictly follow the maze map provided by the guild to enter and exit the route for their own safety, they have more choices and do not mind taking shortcuts to pass through shallow areas that pose no threat to them.

"By the way, before we left, Finn told us to keep an eye out for the birth of a Floor Master Goliath when we pass the 17th floor. There are many members of the clan stuck at LV2 and LV3 who need to defeat the Floor Master's feat to level up."

"Then let's take a shortcut and go faster!"

Speeding through the dim tunnels of the maze, the Amazon sisters exchanged some additional instructions with the clan leader as they ran, while the Sword Princess in the front remained silent. However, the two sisters who knew her well knew that it was not that Ais was cold and unkind, and unwilling to care about the development of the clan. It was simply that the Sword Princess was a fool, and things that were not related to combat were a little complicated, which was completely a problem for her.

In turn, Sword Princess is more talented than the two Amazon-born women in all matters related to combat, and her fighting style is even more barbaric than theirs.

However, they still recognized Aisi's fighting talent, especially Aisi's special magic that could easily make her a scout. Although accidents were unlikely to happen in the shallow maze close to the surface, the two sisters still tacitly chose Aisi as the front row and leader in this three-person trip.

"Um--!"

But just as the two sisters were complaining about some things they encountered in their daily lives, Sword Lady, who had been running in front of the three, suddenly stopped abruptly at a fork in the road.

"What's wrong……"

The confused Amazon sisters braked hastily when they saw this, but just as they opened their mouths to ask, they saw Aisi draw her weapon and look vigilantly in a certain direction of the fork in the road. After they subconsciously looked over there, they immediately shut their mouths and a solemn look appeared on their faces.

A five-meter-tall 'giant' appeared in the passage not far from the fork in the road.

Its entire body is covered in silver-white armor, with neon colors flowing in the gaps and edges of the armor on its torso. There are also two streamers behind it that are also flowing with neon colors, and one hand holds a huge long-handled war hammer.

Obviously, in terms of height, this silver-white giant is definitely not one of the surface races they know, but they also don't remember that a monster like this that looks to be at least LV4 will spawn in the shallow maze.

Moreover, the giant's behavior was also very strange. Not only did he stand alone in front of a stone wall, but he also emitted a blue light from his helmeted face, sweeping across the neatly arranged stone bricks on the wall inch by inch. He did not react even when they approached. The monsters bred in the dungeon maze would not be so easy to talk to.

So, what is this giant?

The three girls looked at each other.

I don't know whether to just walk away as if nothing happened.

It’s better to stay where you are and be wary of this giant.

And just when they couldn't make up their minds.

A series of crackling sounds were heard.

The stone wall in front of the giant suddenly collapsed on its own, and several green-skinned goblins squeezed out from the wall.
