Chapter 326 Server 0
"Bear--"

A hurricane appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, instantly engulfing Yu Zhun, who was rushing towards Su Changge. A terrifying binding force erupted from the hurricane, causing Yu Zhun to pause slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a series of wind blades emerged from outside the hurricane, instantly attacking the hurricane's interior from different directions and engulfing Yu Zhun's body.

Su Changge's empty eyes twitched slightly. He raised his staff high, about to perform the next move, but the surging energy froze instantly, as if blocked and retreated.

The Silent Shackles: Silence is in effect!

"Whoosh-"

The instant Su Changge's skill was interrupted, Yu Zhun, covered in blood, tore through the hurricane and rushed out, his dagger aimed at Su Changge.

Seeing this, Su Changge, wielding his staff, instantly blocked Yu Zhun's two daggers. Amidst the surging energy, as a ranged class, he actually managed to block Yu Zhun's attacks one after another with just his staff!

Yu Zhun narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly recalling a certain rumor.

It is said that before the connection between Blue Star and the Divine Revelation World, Senior Su Changge came from a family of martial arts masters.

He chose the mage path, mainly because the mage profession is extremely rare and in high demand, and Blue Star needs more mages!

Although he did not choose close combat, Su Changge did not abandon his own martial arts. Instead, he combined them with the mage's staff to develop a technique that gave the mage a certain ability to protect himself in close combat!
This skill is also possessed by two of the nine supreme masters, both of whom are mage masters!

With this in mind, Yu Zhun simply dropped the shackles of silence and shouted, "Then let this junior have a good spar with you!"

"Ping ping ping—"

In the clash of weapons, which was difficult to detect with the naked eye, Su Changge used a magic staff to continuously block Yu Zhun's attacks.

"die!"

On the other side, Helmod finally burned Bean, who was also a god, to ashes with the holy fire, and then turned around and saw the battle on Yu Zhun's side.

As a fellow mage, his eyes lit up instantly when he saw Su Changge's combat skills.

A mage from the same world as Yu Zhun... is he that strong?

"Xiao He! Come help me now that you've finished!" Lu Wen shouted impatiently. He was already facing attacks from three players and was starting to feel the strain. He was no longer the stubborn guy he had been before.

"Here they come." Helmod abandoned his spectator's mind and raised his staff to rush to Luwen's aid from a distance.

After he helped Lu Wen resolve the immediate crisis, he looked back at Yu Zhun and saw Yu Zhun piercing Su Changge's chest with a dagger.

"Pfft-"

With a sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, Su Changge's movements came to an abrupt halt, and his health bar was emptied.

He slowly turned his head to look at Yu Zhun, a complex and gratified look flashing in his empty eyes before turning into ashes and disappearing.

"Phew!" Yu Zhun exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression equally complex.

After we finish clearing this dungeon and return to Earth, I wonder how the other supreme beings will react when they find out about this.

"Yu Zhun, what skill did that player use just now?" Helmod came to Yu Zhun's side and asked impatiently.

“That was a respected ancestor of our world. The technique he used was a combination of the magic of mages and a kind of inheritance of our world itself.” Yu Zhun gave a brief introduction, and then his heart stirred when he saw Helmod’s expression.

"You...want to learn?"

“If possible, I’d like to give it a try.” Helmod’s expression turned serious.

He knew all too well how strong Yu Zhun's close combat skills were.

If I could learn the skill of a mage who could hold his own against Yu Zhun in close combat for such a long time, my ability to protect myself would be greatly enhanced in the future.

Combined with his own powerful passive ability and talent as the [Holy Flame Envoy], he is like a tiger with wings!
“I can ask around for you,” Yu Zhun said, shrugging. “As for whether it will work out, I can’t guarantee it.”

Helmod was not a player from Earth, and he didn't know what the nine supreme experts' attitudes were towards him.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Helmod nodded earnestly.

"I said, can you guys find another place to talk?" Lu Wen's annoyed voice rang out again.

Hermod and Yu Zhun exchanged a glance and quickly joined the battle. Soon, they wiped out the fifth wave of players, and the entrance from the fourth to the fifth floor of the Tower of Spirits opened.

Fifth floor... tenth floor... fifteenth floor!
Each time a player enters a new level of the Tower of Spirit Transformation, their strength will continue to increase compared to the previous level.

Moreover, the unspoken rules Helmod mentioned earlier continued to be in effect. As they continued on their journey, Yu Zhun and his group encountered many deceased players from the same server as them.

The fourth divine zone had the most players, accounting for almost 90% of the acquaintances. The vast majority of them were unknown players whom Helmod did not know, but there were also one or two players of the divine child level.

There are relatively few deceased players appearing on Blue Star, and even when they do appear, it's not like Su Changge before, where Yu Zhun and the other two didn't recognize him.

The server Lu Wen belongs to, number 39393, has a longer history than Blue Star, and has produced more powerful individuals.

As for Udyr, she was the only one among the five who didn't see anyone she knew. If she did, it would be truly a miracle.

"Only three floors left!" Yu Zhun shouted as he fought his way through the passage to the next floor, and charged toward the sixteenth floor without hesitation.

The other four followed closely behind, and the group of five stepped down, arriving at the sixteenth floor of the Tower of Spirit Transformation.

Upon reaching this level, the interior of the Tower of Spirit Transformation is so vast that its boundaries are invisible at a glance. Even Hermod's full-power skill is insufficient to cover the entire space immediately.

With their feet firmly on the ground again, the group quickly adjusted their mindset before any new enemies appeared.

As they descended to the tenth floor, even Yu Zhun and his group of five found it difficult to keep up with the onslaught of players, and had to seize every second to rest.

After a short wait, with no further sound coming from around, Lu Wen couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's so quiet?"

"Xiao He!" Yu Zhun called out in a low voice.

“Hmm.” Helmod nodded, raised his staff, and in the next instant, golden holy fire ignited everything around him.

However, the magnificent sacred flame did not illuminate any figures on the stage, as if there were no enemies on this level at all.

"What's going on?" Udyr couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not quite sure." Yu Zhun shook his head with a serious expression. "But I feel that this may not be a good thing."

"Don't you guys think those players were a bit too strong?"

Upon hearing this, the other four nodded in unison.

If other players encounter this level of difficulty, they would probably be wiped out before even reaching level ten.

"Could it be that the difficulty of this Spirit Transformation Tower varies from person to person?" Lu Wen asked subconsciously.

I think so.

Yu Zhun nodded. "Starting from the second level, we will constantly encounter players from the same server as ourselves. This unspoken rule means that this instance has a certain degree of automatic adjustment capability."

"Then adjusting the difficulty of the Spirit Tower based on the players' strategies makes perfect sense." Yu Zhun paused slightly, "After all..."

"This copy is not a transformation of the world; it is a copy that existed naturally when the world of divine revelation appeared."

“Then no possibility can be ignored.” “I understand what you mean.” Helmod nodded, then changed the subject, “But what does that have to do with no players appearing on the sixteenth floor?”

As he spoke, he used the same skill again.

This time, still no players were illuminated.

“What if…” Yu Zhun paused, “I mean, what if our strength is too great, exceeding the normal range?”

"What if level 15 is already the highest difficulty level originally set, and there's no way to go any higher?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Although it might seem a bit like self-praise, it must be said that what Yu Zhun said is indeed very reasonable.

All five of them possessed X4-level talent.

How many second-job players can reach level X4 at this stage?
Moreover, each of them possesses formidable strengths and abilities, enabling them to overwhelmingly defeat ordinary players.

This can be seen from the fact that the second-tier players they encountered earlier were no match for Yu Zhun and his group of five.

Therefore, it is entirely possible that the preset difficulty level cannot match their strength because they are too powerful.

“If that’s the case…” Yu Zhu said, somewhat amused and exasperated, “Does that mean there’s a bug?”

"There are no stronger players, but we need to kill a certain number of players to open the passage to the next level."

"Then aren't we stuck here?"

"It shouldn't be that bad." Yu Zhun shook his head slightly. "If that's the case, the problem is easy to solve. We just need to wait for a while, and once we confirm that there's a problem with the dungeon, we can ask for compensation in the God and Demon Shop."

The other four people's lips twitched simultaneously.

Are you sure the God and Demon Shop will compensate you for this?
Ignoring the strange looks on his teammates' faces, Yu Zhun took a deep breath, his expression turning serious. "What I'm worried about is..."

"Because they couldn't find any stronger players, the dungeon activated some inexplicable hidden mechanics, thus increasing the difficulty of our conquest..."

"Boom!!!"

Before Yu Zhun could finish speaking, a sudden, deafening roar echoed throughout the entire space.

Yu Zhun: "..."

Other teammates: ???

"Oh no, you jinxed it!" Helmod couldn't help but exclaim, illuminating the entire space with the sacred flame.

Under the light, the entire space was collapsing and cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within the cracks, two other spaces below could be vaguely seen, also collapsing and cracking in the same way.

If they are on the sixteenth floor of the Tower of Spirit Transformation, then the next floors below them are undoubtedly the seventeenth and eighteenth floors!

The last three floors of the Spirit Tower have collapsed!
Yu Zhun's words have come true in full!

As Yu Zhun and the other four stared in disbelief, the fragments from the last three layers intertwined, forming an incredibly vast new space.

In that brand new space, a figure is rapidly gathering.

The fact that the opponent's power was only a fraction of what it was, yet Yu Zhun and the other four all wore solemn expressions.

"Could this be a third-tier expert?" Lu Wen couldn't help but mutter to himself, a look of utter disbelief on his face.

“Not quite, but not far off.” Helmod’s expression was equally grave. “This person’s strength is comparable to Lv90.”

“Those players before were roughly equivalent to Lv80 in strength.”

"The good news is that killing him seems to count as us passing the third level?" Helmod said with some uncertainty. "If that's the case, killing him will allow us to enter the fourth part."

"But the problem now is how to kill him," Lu Wen said, both amused and exasperated.

As they spoke, the figure in the void had completely solidified into a warrior clad in armor and wielding a longsword.

His eyes were as empty as those of the other deceased players, but there were no black chains around him at all.

Above his head were two lines of small characters.

Upon seeing the two lines of small print, Yu Zhun and the other four men's pupils contracted simultaneously.

Server 0

[Perofas, Lv90]

As Helmod guessed, the player who appeared was level 90, but that didn't seem to be the most important thing at the moment.

Because this player's server ID is 0!

"How is this possible?!" Helmod couldn't help but exclaim in surprise; of the five, he was the one with the strongest reaction.

"Server 1 is the oldest server and is currently the top server. How could there be a Server 0 before it?"

If Server 0 truly exists, it means that everyone's understanding of the world of divine revelation is incomplete.

Since there is server 0, are there other servers that are not yet known to anyone before server 0?
It could be said that Helmod's entire understanding collapsed with the appearance of this figure.

"Calm down!" Yu Zhun grabbed Helmod's shoulder and shook him hard. His expression also turned serious as he watched Perofas walk towards them step by step.

"Regardless, we must defeat him now."

"I'll make my move, you cover me!"

As he spoke, Yu Zhun vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Pelopas, revealing a pair of daggers.

After the previous massacres, the [Power of Greed] has greatly enhanced all of his attributes. Even when facing a level 90 enemy, Yu Zhun dares to fight with all his might!
"Ping—"

With a clang of metal clashing, Yu Zhun's dagger and Perofas's longsword collided instantly.

Sensing the terrifying power emanating from the longsword, Yu Zhun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a gray domain instantly expanded, enveloping the two of them.

The King of Assassins' exclusive skill: The Shackles of Silence!
As the silence and immobilization effects enveloped him for a moment, Pelopas's movements inevitably froze. Yu Zhun took the opportunity to extend his dagger, the blade pointing directly at the opponent's chest.

At the same time, Lu Wen's longsword, Udyr's arrows, and Helmod's sacred fire quickly enveloped Pelopas from different directions, covering Yu Zhun's attack and completely sealing him off from the offensive!

Standing outside the battle circle, Yu Zhu raised one hand, "Die!"

The Potion King's exclusive skill: The End of Freedom!
A state of apparent death descends instantly!

Under the barrage of attacks, Pelopas let out a beast-like roar.

Yu Zhun's body was instantly sent flying backward as if hit by a train.

Reuven's longsword came to an abrupt halt, Udyr's arrow shattered instantly, Helmod's sacred flame went out, and even the feigned death failed to take effect.

The next instant, Perofas raised his longsword high!
