Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 1030: Chapter 428: Holy Land Baptism_2

A few people conducted a final inspection in the research institute, but couldn’t find anything valuable, so they returned to the underground shelter.

Leaving the Eternal Light Research Institute, they met Wu Zhuoqun at the entrance, and saw many surface dwellers lying around the institute.

According to Wu Zhuoqun, these surface dwellers had been hiding further away but suddenly went mad and rushed towards the institute, trying to get inside. But before they got close, they inexplicably fell to the ground.

Speaking of this, Wu Zhuoqun looked at Erin and Wu Chang with awe. Such strange, no, god-like methods could only be used by them.

On the way back, Wu Chang found not only surface dwellers around Collette City; without Hel’s Power to sustain them, surface dwellers were returning to death everywhere, covering the large area Erin originally planned to clear.

Using the Sword of Order, Erin cut the Hel statue, which could only reverse the death aura of the surface but couldn’t reverse the mutation of the surface dwellers.

Although in this planetary-level catastrophe, surface dwellers were also victims, their disappearance could save a lot of trouble for underground people returning to the surface.

That afternoon, He Yun mastered the method of regulating the time flow of the Eternal Light Research Institute.

Activating the maximum time flow ratio required faith, which the underground shelter could provide, but in addition to faith, 1000 Rotten Silver Coins were needed daily.

Compared to the faith dungeon, the Divine Hall of Death’s 1:100 time flow rate, while also covering various amplification effects, is highly cost-effective.

Upgrading Space Magic to the Lord Level, Wu Chang still had more than forty thousand Rotten Silver Coins, so he directly activated the function to reduce the time flow.

Once the time flow reduction function was activated, Erin immediately entered the Divinity Training Room to begin cultivation.

Continuously using the Sword of Order to repair plane order, as the sword wielder, she gained an even deeper understanding of the Power of Order.

With the prior mastery of Undying Sacred Fire, her understanding of Principal Angels’ abilities reached a higher level.

Before entering the Divinity Training Room to cultivate, Erin told Wu Chang she was confident she could reach the peak of the Principal Angels before the World Dungeon starts.

Not long after Erin ascended to the Principal Angels, she reached its peak in such a short time, sounding very incredible, but upon actual analysis, it’s quite reasonable.

Erin’s rapid breakthrough must be credited to the Great Saint Mother.

In the Peaceful Town Dungeon, the Great Saint Mother’s special training solidified Erin’s theoretical foundation for using divinity and corrected many issues with using Divine Power.

More importantly, before departing, the Great Saint Mother also gave Erin her condensed Undying Sacred Fire and Absolute Battle Armor.

Though she was unwilling when giving the abilities, these two abilities fused well with Erin’s internal Holy Mark, letting Erin grasp the Undying Sacred Fire, typically mastered at the Middle Level God, during her Lower Level God period.

Just from the Great Saint Mother, Erin gained the foundation to break through to Middle Level God. Beyond that, Erin’s Divine Kingdom also had the Pillar of the Divine Kingdom formed by the Tree of Miracles.

According to the intelligence revealed by the Great Saint Mother, the Pillar of the Divine Kingdom should be the key for a Middle Level God to ascend to Upper Level God.

This means Erin’s foundation has already been built up to Upper Level God. Combined with the Sword of Order’s insights, her strength naturally ascends swiftly.

Regarding the origins of the Divine Hall of Death, Wu Chang had already informed Erin through Spiritual Communication but hadn’t had time to tell He Yun.

To ensure fairness, since He Yun’s main body was also on the underground shelter plane, Wu Chang explained everything to He Yun in detail that evening.

The next morning, He Yun’s main body returned to the Hymn Company, ready to transfer divinity-related research to the Eternal Light Research Institute.

Wu Chang took He Yun’s mechanically-created clone to the Steam Phantom Plane.

Though he wanted to stay and experience the Eternal Light Research Institute, he hadn’t forgotten that he was tasked with two major duties on this trip: to act as a driver and a messenger.

Wu Chang and He Yun’s mechanical puppet entered the Steam Phantom Plane at eight in the morning.

They appeared at the headquarters of the Secret Security Department, which was quiet as it was not yet office hours.

The two were preparing to leave the Secret Security Department when they met Raventon, who had just finished breakfast and was holding the Hills Newspaper, entering the building at the front door.

Raventon greeted Wu Chang and then looked curiously at He Yun beside Wu Chang, sensing something similar to the Steam Council from He Yun.

He asked, ”Who is this?”

Wu Chang introduced:

”This is He Yun, a friend of Erin and me in the New World, also part of the Eternal Light Church. She is very skilled in mechanics and, upon hearing about Stilan’s Extraordinary Steam Engine from us, wanted to see it firsthand. I’m about to take her to see Her Majesty the Queen.”

Raventon stepped aside to let the two pass, muttering, ”Another New World, looks like I need to make a trip soon.”

Wu Chang watched Raventon’s back as he left, a trace of apology flashing across his face. It wasn’t that he deliberately deceived Raventon; the New World was simply too convenient an excuse.

If Raventon goes to the New World in pursuit of Julie, he will likely be disappointed.

Outside, after leaving the Steam Phantom for a while, upon returning, Wu Chang was still a bit unaccustomed to Grimland’s air.

The briefly clear sky after Xavier’s death was now again covered by a layer of haze.

However, this time the haze had nothing to do with plane rules; it was mere pollution.
