Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 963: Chapter 458: Legacy (Part 2)

But soon, Fallen Wish revealed a smile.

“Really got scared by you, my companion.” Fallen Wish said: “Are you satisfied with this armor set?”

“Very good, as expected of the Church’s craftsmanship.”

“Incorporated within are some of the legacy technologies from the Mingxia Civilization. I must say, the Mingxia Civilization was indeed once glorious. We’ve gained many benefits from it…” Fallen Wish said, “Perhaps, you might be interested in those legacies.”

Li Ye was naturally tempted. If these legacies could be taken away, it would also be an improvement for humanity.

But with his current identity and status, he couldn’t say something like let me have a look.

“I’m not a scientific expert.” Li Ye responded, “Even if you gave me those technologies, I wouldn’t understand them.”

“You misunderstood, I meant that some of the legacies might make you stronger. In the legacy of the Mingxia Civilization, you can receive blessings.” Fallen Wish chuckled, “And I have obtained a powerful blessing… Female Special Attack. A 30% increase in damage to male creatures.”

This made Li Ye’s face change slightly. Such a wide-ranging and highly enhanced blessing could be considered a top-tier blessing.

Are there really such good things in the legacy?

It’s a pity Fallen Wish is the Jile Divine Chosen. If Yun Yue, the Green Flame Chosen One, were to obtain this blessing, the damage stacking would be terrifying.

“Surely, there’s such a good thing… so, have all your members gained such a powerful blessing?” Li Ye asked.

“Not really, acquiring blessings requires a certain level of strength, and it might not necessarily be a blessing, could be some secret treasures. For now, in the sub-branch, only Sixth-sense Experts can try.” Fallen Wish replied, “Are you planning to give it a try?”

“Of course, where is it?” Li Ye nodded.

He calculated in his mind, the Mingxia Civilization must have set up some sort of challenging trial for future generations.

To avoid a situation of undue haste.

Just like in the Immortal Palace, the Divine Treasure Vault requires dealing enough damage to receive the corresponding reward.

“Right by the Treasure Vault, it’s also one of the grave goods.” Seeing Li Ye getting baited, Fallen Wish smiled.

‘As expected, even embracing Chaos, he still yearns to become stronger and won’t miss this opportunity.’

‘Then be submerged in it, when you awaken from it, we will welcome a new Divine Chosen!’

…

Meanwhile, on the third level of the Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

In the midst of a gigantic abandoned city.

Yang Chen looked at the figure that appeared in front of him and couldn’t help but smile.

The figure was draped in a black cloak, with lamellar armor on the shoulders, clearly an elite Ye Boshou.

Unlike before, the residual sound avatar’s black trench coat seemed to have something added to it.

Yang Chen thought for a moment, then smiled.

He then punched the residual sound avatar but didn’t eliminate it immediately, instead pinned it to the ground and opened its trench coat.

The residual sound avatar mimics the data of intruders, its ability is very close to the original, immune to spiritual attack.

The residual sound avatar can perfectly mimic the intruder’s equipment, but is superficial and cannot mimic Taboo Items.

But this particular point made Yang Chen aware of a certain possibility.

Indeed, inside the opened trench coat.

Yang Chen saw the intelligence passed on by comrades from the second level.

The relic mimicked this intelligence as well.

This became a means of connection between the second and third layers.

Of course, currently, it seems to be one-sided communication.

After reviewing the intelligence, Yang Chen’s face changed slightly.

Wearing the cloak, advancing to the Sixth Sense, killing the Overlord, going undercover in the Church, counterattacking the Heartless Fruit plan…

Very good, very well done!

Seeing the initial intelligence, Yang Chen was both amazed and delighted.

Truly the inheritor he valued! Ultimately bearing this responsibility!

But… seeing the latter part, Yang Chen felt somewhat troubled: “Kid, why do you like being an undercover so much?”

Li Ye’s talent and disposition.

He was very satisfied, believing Li Ye could shoulder this responsibility.

But this kid, being addicted to going undercover is not a good thing.

In the future, if we need to find the Champion, we can’t always say the Champion is in the Ember Church, right?

After reviewing all the intelligence, Yang Chen destroyed the residual sound avatar.

He then walked out of the relic area and reunited with Cang Bai.

And shared the intelligence with Cang Bai.

“You’re saying the Heartless Fruit can be eradicated? And all parasitized creatures eradicated simultaneously?” Cang Bai’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Yes, indeed. If the plan succeeds, we can actually leave here.” Yang Chen nodded, knowing Li Ye’s ability to transform into Divine Calamity.

Theoretically, it’s indeed feasible.

“This is indeed good news…” Cang Bai looked at Yang Chen: “Do we still need to destroy the Blood Lake?”

“Not for now… If the plan succeeds, it will be a matter of days.” Yang Chen mused, “Moreover, I feel like the relic seems to be deliberately going easy on us.”

“Indeed, despite destroying so many residual sound avatars, none resembling you have appeared.”

As the Champion, Yang Chen’s combat power was naturally astonishing.

The residual sound avatars that appeared, whether from the Mingxia Civilization’s experts or earlier Forbidden Zone experts, or his own comrades and Chaos’ experts, he defeated them all.

After all, the avatar’s equipment, being superficial, could hardly break through his defense.

Within the Overlord level, he hadn’t met an opponent.

But this wasn’t normal; as an intruder, he should have been recorded and appeared as a residual sound avatar, as an enemy.

Being his own opponent, even Champion Yang Chen would face significant pressure and could even get injured.

But until now, he hadn’t encountered his own avatar.

“It’s as if the relic is intentionally letting you pass…”

…

On the other side, Li Ye returned to the Treasure Vault.

This time, he was led in a different direction.

Opening another black stone wall, seeing a staircase leading down, after descending tens of steps, arrived at an extremely vast space.

Clearly, this was also a space-folding technology.

At the same time, Li Ye also saw a large black stele located in the center of the space.

“Is this what you call the legacy?” Li Ye asked, “This stele seems somewhat similar to the black stone tower of the relic.”

“Yes, this stele will also materialize residual sound avatars.” Fallen Wish descended the stairs, smiling, “Here, it will construct the corresponding residual sound avatars based on the challenger. The first avatar isn’t very powerful. But later, it will choose the most targeted avatars based on the challenger’s characteristics. The difficulty will gradually increase…”

“The record holder is the Jinhuan Chosen One of our Church. He once passed nine avatars in one go, gaining excellent rewards. As for me, I only managed to pass seven…” Fallen Wish said.

“Using the Divine Favor State?” Li Ye asked. If they lost after reaching the ninth in the Divine Favor State, then the difficulty is too high.

“No, if external force is used, qualification will be directly canceled.” Fallen Wish laughed, “The first Divine Chosen to challenge reached the eighth, got anxious, used Divine Favor, and was thrown out as a result. Didn’t get the reward, she was so angry. You can only challenge once, and she didn’t have another chance.”

“Is it a battle of endurance?” Li Ye continued to ask.

“No, after one battle, there’s a few minutes of rest. During that time, you can leave the battlefield, come to the edge, wait for recovery, and then continue.” Fallen Wish said, “But if you leave here midway, it’s considered a failure.”

Li Ye nodded, “Interesting, is there any life risk?”

“There is certain risk, but as long as you say ‘Half’, the challenge will terminate.” Fallen Wish said, “So, don’t overexert yourself. Want to wait until your Mad Dragon is repaired or you become a Divine Chosen, then come back?”

“No need, I’m impatient.” Li Ye responded and walked towards the stele.

At the moment of becoming a Divine Chosen, Li Ye estimated he would fight against the Church to the end.

Thus, Fallen Wish returned to the stairs: “I hope you get what you want, my companion.”

As Fallen Wish left, the black stone wall closed with a roar.

And in front of Li Ye, a phantom gradually took shape…
