Game: God-level Aura, 100x Experience at the Start!

Deciphering the mystery! The Abyss has invaded?!The moment the treasure chest opened.

Dazzling golden light burst forth from the chest opening.

Like the dawn sunlight piercing the darkness, it illuminated the entire ruined church as if it were day!

Within the brilliant light, countless tiny black specks circulated, seemingly containing the power of the endless Abyss!

The Game System prompt sounded accordingly:

[You have opened a Mysterious Treasure Chest and obtained: Demon Abyss: Heart of the Demon * 1!]

The next moment.

A dark black light cluster flew out of the treasure chest.

Faint purple-black mist lingered around the light cluster. It circled in the air as if alive, then slowly approached White Night, hovering mid-air and trembling slightly.

White Night stretched out his hand. As soon as his fingertip touched the light cluster, he felt a cold and domineering power surge over him, as if trying to suck his soul into it.

He clenched his hand, grasping the light cluster.

The light cluster dissipated like foam, turning into specks of starlight that merged into his palm, revealing the item within.

A beautiful necklace, a blend of deep black and dark purple, appeared in White Night’s palm.

The pendant of the necklace was shaped like a lifelike demon heart, its surface covered with complex and mysterious patterns, flashing with a gloomy luster in the faint light, as if it were truly beating slowly!

”A necklace?”

White Night looked surprised, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He hadn’t expected his first Mythical-grade Treasure Chest to directly yield a Mythical-grade accessory!

This luck was too good!

The next moment, he eagerly checked the equipment’s attribute information.

A light blue curtain clearly unfolded before his eyes:

[Demon Abyss: Heart of the Demon]

Grade: Mythical

Effect: Increases Strength by 30,000, increases Spirit by 30,000; Additional Effect ”Embrace of the Demon” (The wearer takes 10% extra damage, but all attacks come with the effect ”Shadow Corrosion”: causes the target to lose 3% of maximum HP per second, lasting 5 seconds.)

Type: Accessory (Universal for all classes)

...White Night looked at the attribute information, his lips curling up involuntarily. The necklace’s attributes were ridiculously strong!

A full 30,000 Strength bonus, far exceeding all the equipment he currently possessed!

Furthermore, the additional effect was also very suitable for him.

After all, damage was what he feared the least!

With the Life Aura and Healing Aura active, taking an extra 10% damage was nothing to him!

”Good equipment!”

White Night looked satisfied.

Next, he immediately called up his equipment panel, removed his original accessory, and put on this new piece of equipment.

Soon, the replacement was complete.

A power several times stronger than before surged into his limbs and bones, instantly boosting his combat power by a notch!

White Night felt the surging power within his body.

Then, with a thought, he summoned his Personal Attribute Panel:

[Name: White Night]

Class: Swordsman

Level: lv199

HP: 350 million

MP: 250,000

Attributes: Strength 140,000, Spirit 47,000, Agility 57,000, Constitution 53,000

Skills: Basic Combat Arts... Holy Light Ring Slash, Dawn Sword Rain, Illusory Thunder Sword Array, Soul Devouring Annihilation Flying Sword... ”140,000 Strength is still about a 50% increase from when I first reached lv199!”

”Equipment truly is one of the most important upgrades for a Professional!”

White Night sighed with emotion.

Then, he cast these distracting thoughts aside and walked back into the Church.

”The Hidden Quest is complete, but the Main Quest isn’t.”

”According to the quest details, the clue should be inside this Church...”

White Night pondered this while searching through the Church... Suddenly.

White Night’s gaze unintentionally swept over the already incomplete statue of the god behind the Altar.

The statue should have originally been a sacred being holding a longsword.

Now, only half of the body remained. The head and arms were long gone, and the fracture points were covered in charred marks, having been forcibly destroyed by some terrifying power.

For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart, making him feel that something was hidden within this ruined statue.

”Let’s take a look...”

White Night mused for a moment and stepped toward the statue.

Approaching the statue, his fingertip lightly brushed away the dust and cracks on its surface.

When his finger touched the chest area of the statue.

He suddenly felt a strange indentation, completely different from the hard stone material surrounding it.

He applied a little force, and with a soft ”click,” a hidden compartment was revealed inside the statue!

Inside the compartment, a thick white Silk Scroll lay quietly.

Although the edges of the Silk Scroll were yellowed and brittle, a faint glow circulated on its surface, clearly indicating it was no ordinary object.

White Night carefully took out the Silk Scroll and unfolded it in his palm.

The scroll felt cool to the touch, and it was covered with dense writing in ancient Runes.

These characters seemed to possess life, automatically transforming into recognizable content in his eyes!

As his gaze swept over it, a sealed history slowly unfolded before him:

A thousand years ago, the City of God Forsaken was still named ”Holy Light God City,” the most brilliant holy land on the continent!

A powerful deity personally set up a Protective Barrier here. The city was filled with countless Clergy and Transcendent Beings, bathed in Holy Light, and demons were extinct!

However, one pitch-black night, a massive fissure suddenly split open in the sky, and endless Demon Abyss Creatures poured out from the rift!

They varied in form and exuded an aura of destruction. Wherever they passed, the Holy Light dissolved, and life was ravaged!

This was the Demon Abyss Invasion!

Facing the sudden disaster.

The guardians of the Holy Light God City rose up in resistance.

The Clergy chanted hymns, and the Transcendent Beings brandished their weapons, engaging in a desperate struggle with the Demon Abyss Creatures!

Initially, relying on the barrier left by the deity and their powerful combat strength, the God City was able to hold out.

But soon after, an earth-shattering roar came from the depths of the Demon Abyss, and a Demon Sovereign, ten thousand feet tall, descended upon the battlefield!

This was a supreme existence on the same level as a True God!

The Demon Sovereign was surrounded by nine black halos. Its mere aura crushed the outer barrier of the God City!

With a casual wave, swathes of Clergy turned to ash; even the most powerful Saints in the city could not resist!

Facing such a terrifying existence, the God City was helpless and on the verge of falling!

Just as the God City was about to fall.

The deity worshiped by the Holy Light God City manifested, suddenly descending!

Subsequently, it engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the Demon Sovereign!

The deity wielded a Holy Light Longsword, emitting light that purified everything, while the Demon Sovereign controlled the power of the Demon Abyss, stirring up waves of destruction!

That battle lasted three days and three nights. The sky was stained blood red, the earth cracked, and mountains shifted... It was as if the entire continent was about to be completely pierced through!

In the end, at the cost of burning its divine body, the deity managed to repel the Demon Sovereign and seal the Demon Abyss rift!

But it, too, fell from exhaustion, turning into specks of light that completely vanished from the world... Without the deity’s protection, the remaining Demon Abyss power and the fallen divinity intertwined, plunging the God City into eternal darkness!

From that day on, the sun could no longer rise, and transcendent power gradually dissipated. The survivors could only cling to life in despair... Over time, this place became the ”City of God Forsaken” in the eyes of later generations.

People began to migrate, trying to find new places to live.

At the end of the Silk Scroll, a few lines of blurry handwriting remained.

It seemed to be the tearful record of a survivor: ”Our God is dead, the demons are not extinguished, the darkness remains eternal, awaiting only a new master...”

After White Night finished reading the Silk Scroll, turbulent waves surged in his heart.

It turned out that behind this city lay such a tragic and heroic past.

”The Demon Abyss... it was because of the Demon Abyss!”

”In 29 days, Blue Star will also face the Demon Abyss Invasion...”

”In fact, the invasion Blue Star faces then might be even more terrifying...”

White Night muttered softly, his gaze becoming increasingly solemn.

”Even deities can fall...”

”Even with the Random Aura System, I can’t let my guard down!”
