Chapter 425 A Common Enemy, the Fifth Divine District!

In a market instance specifically designed for second-tier powerhouses to exchange and trade, Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu walked slowly down the street.

Soon, the two arrived at a bar. After entering, the other two people sitting at the bar all looked over.

"You've arrived," Helmod said with a smile, clearly in a good mood, while Udyr beside him had a slightly somber expression.

“We’re just missing Lu Wen.” Yu Zhun looked around. “Our agreed time is almost up, and it looks like he’s going to be late.”

“Let him be.” Helmod shook his head. “I’ve heard some things, and I’m afraid Luwen isn’t in a very good mood right now.”

"His teacher... is almost out of breath."

"What?" Yu Zhun's pupils contracted slightly.

Lu Wen's teacher was the strongest player on server 39393, and a player from the same era as Zhu Xiuming. How could he have run out of energy so quickly?
“It’s true.” Helmod sighed softly, “A third-tier powerhouse targeted server 39393. Their protector, the God of Hunting, Monpel, was almost killed. At the critical moment, Luwen’s teacher paid a huge price to save Monpel and also killed one of the attackers.”

“However, unleashing the power of a third-tier cultivator at the second tier naturally comes at a huge price.” At this point, Helmod’s expression turned serious.

He couldn't help but think of his teacher, Engi.

If Enji were dying, he would probably be furious.

"Are the third-tier powerhouses targeting them also from the Fifth Divine District?" Yu Zhun suddenly asked.

“Not bad.” Helmod nodded.

Udyr, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up, "My world is also being targeted by the Fifth Divine District."

“However…” she chuckled self-deprecatingly, “they seem to look down on us, so they only sent one of their underlings to target us.”

"How is Rael?" Yu Zhu couldn't help but ask her best friend. "Has she been alright all these years?"

“She’s doing well.” Udir’s eyes showed a hint of relief. “After I left, Rael took my place.”

"She has matured a lot over the years."

"That's good." Yu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Our world was also targeted by the Fifth Divine District.” Yu Zhun said in a deep voice, “Back then, we only killed five of their divine sons, and I didn’t even kill them myself, giving them a way out.”

"I never expected them to be so ungrateful."

“This has a history,” Helmod shook his head slightly. “You might not be aware of it.”

"Our fourth divine region was once capable of competing with the top three divine regions. However, the strongest members of the top three divine regions joined forces to obtain a 5A-level dungeon, which left us behind."

"So although we are weaker than the top three god districts, we will not fear or submit to them, after all, we were once equals."

"But the Fifth Divine District is different. Although they are ranked only one place behind us among the divine districts, they rose to their position by currying favor with the First Divine District."

"The feud between our two divine districts is also related to this."

"So the Fifth Divine District attacked us not just because we eliminated their five divine sons in the [Forbidden Ruins of the Gods]."

"It's also because the First Divine District was secretly directing the other side."

"I see." Yu Zhun suddenly looked enlightened, and then, with a change of expression, he turned to look at the entrance of the bar.

A figure strode towards them.

"I'm late," Lu Wen muttered, then grabbed a glass of wine from the table, gulped it down, and slammed the glass down with a "thud."

Seeing his distinctly different appearance, the other four fell silent. After a moment, Yu Zhun slowly spoke, "Lu Wen, your teacher..."

“He doesn’t want me to use the wish of the Lord of the Gods and Demons Palace to save him,” Lu Wen said hoarsely. “He said if I insist on doing so, he will kill himself.”

"But that's the person I'm closest to!"

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes already bloodshot. "Am I just supposed to watch him fall like this every day?"

"Luwen, calm down." Helmod gently patted Luwen's shoulder and slowly said, "Your teacher's problem is not unsolvable."

"You have a way?" Lu Wen looked at Helmod, the madness in his eyes lessened, replaced by a hint of expectation. "By the way, you're from the Fourth Divine District, you must have a lot of good stuff over there."

"Is there any way to save my teacher?"

"Let me finish," Helmod said in a deep voice. "I know a little about your teacher's situation. He had already met all the requirements for the third job advancement, and his path was completely perfected. But in order to save the Protector, he chose to shatter his own path, and his path to the third job advancement was cut off."

"Under these circumstances, he was still severely injured, and the third-tier expert who severely injured him was killed by him, right?"

“Yes,” Lu Wen nodded. “That’s it!”

So how can we save him?

"Your teacher's health problems stem from the residual power left by the opponent when he was severely injured. The ability of the third-level expert who severely injured him was very special, similar to a deadly poison. Only the opponent himself could cure this poison, but the opponent died."

"So the only way to help your teacher recover is to help him break through to the third stage," Helmod said in a deep voice. "During the third stage, the body will undergo a transformation, and the residual power from the past will be washed away and completely disappear during this transformation."

Upon hearing this, the hope in Lu Wen's eyes slowly faded. "But he..."

“I know.” Helmod nodded. “Your teacher’s path has been shattered, and the road ahead is blocked.”

“However, I have heard of a treasure that can restore the annihilated power of origin to its original state.” Helmod said in a deep voice, “It is effective even for third-level powerhouses, so it will definitely be even more effective for your teacher’s current situation.”

"Does the Treasure Hall have that kind of treasure?" Lu Wen's eyes lit up. "I'll go ask the Master of the God and Demon Palace for it..."

"No way," Yu Zhun couldn't help but speak up, "Have you forgotten what your teacher said?"

"He doesn't want to use your opportunity to save himself, believing that this opportunity can be most effective with you. If you insist on saving him..."

Lu Wen fell silent again, then after a long while picked up another glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp, before slamming it down heavily with a "thud." "Then what am I supposed to do?"

“You can definitely get it from the master of the God and Demon Palace,” Helmod shook his head, “but there’s no need.”

"The kind of treasure I'm talking about doesn't come from the world of divine revelation."

Even the master of the God and Demon Palace can only exchange it with others.

"What kind of treasure is it?" Even Yu Zhun became curious.

“That’s something called the Heaven-Mending Jade,” Helmod said slowly. “Even a third-level expert who is critically injured and about to die can use it to instantly recover.”

"And this kind of Sky-Mending Jade comes from the 5A dungeon [Desolate Ancient Realm]."

Seeing the blank looks on the others' faces, Helmod added, "It's the 5A instance that was jointly controlled by the three former god districts."

Now everyone understood.

"So, we need to find a way to contact the top three god districts and exchange with them?" Yu Zhun frowned slightly. "That won't be easy."

The First Divine District probably hates them to the bone because of the [Forbidden Ruins of Gods] and their repeated defeats of the opposing divine sons, so that's definitely not an option.

As for the second and third divine zones…

They had less contact, but the previous encounters weren't pleasant either, as the strongest divine children from both sides were eliminated by them.

Even if there were a way to contact the other party, something of such high value would certainly not be easily obtained.

“No need for that trouble.” “Although the Heaven-Mending Jade comes from the 5A dungeon [Desolate Ancient Realm], it’s natural that it has leaked out over the years,” Helmod continued.

"As far as I know, the Fifth Divine District has several parts, all of which were bestowed upon them by the First Divine District after they curried favor with it."

Upon hearing this, a murderous intent flashed in the eyes of everyone present.

Fifth God Zone!

Although the root of everything is the First God Zone, their server's experiences over the years are all closely related to the Fifth God Zone, their number one lackey.

If they can get revenge on the other party, obtain the Heaven-Mending Jade from them, and save Lu Wen's teacher, then they'll be counted as one of those people!
“Hermod, you know the Fifth Divine District better,” Yu Zhun said in a deep voice. “We don’t yet have the ability to destroy such a behemoth. Is there any way to make them suffer a little?”

“Yes.” Helmod nodded without hesitation. “Do you remember the five divine children we defeated in the [Forbidden Ruins]?”

"They haven't advanced to the third rank yet."

"It's been over twenty years, and they still haven't reached level 3?" Yu Zhu couldn't help but ask. "Back then, weren't they all level 80?"

"Are these divine sons really that useless?"

“That’s not it.” Helmod shook his head. “Generally, players at the Divine Child level are quite cautious when they advance to the third class.”

"The strength of the road determines its future potential."

"So even if they meet the requirements for the third job advancement, they will still try their best to continue to improve and make themselves stronger after the third job advancement."

"These five people have completed the construction of the road."

“So for the Fifth Divine District, these are five near-third-tier warriors.” A hint of killing intent flashed deep in Helmod’s eyes. “If we can put them in a life-or-death situation and force the Fifth Divine District to submit, I think they will consider taking out even the Heaven-Mending Jade.”

"Do they still enter dungeons now?" Yu Zhun asked in a deep voice.

“Yes.” Helmod nodded. “Conquering dungeons is the fastest way to complete the path.”

"However..." He paused slightly, "players who have completed the construction of the road have already partially broken away from the system of the Divine Revelation World."

"Although it hasn't reached the third rank yet, it far surpasses the ordinary second rank."

"Plus, they are all at level 90."

"It will be quite difficult to snipe them in the dungeon."

"boom--"

Lu Wen slammed his fist on the table. "Cheers!"

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

"My teacher became like this because of the Fifth Divine District."

"It's time to make them pay their debts."

The others looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Find out their next strategy." Yu Zhun took a deep breath, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"We're ready to snipe!"
-
"Palai, have you heard?"

In a temple within the Fifth Divine District, five people, men and women, gathered together. Four of them looked at Palai, who was at the head of the group, with smiles in their eyes.

"Those five guys from back then are back."

“Of course I’ve heard about it.” Palai crossed his arms and spoke calmly, “Unfortunately, we’re almost at the third level, and we’re no longer on the same level as those five.”

"They are no longer in my sight."

"Heh." The other man sneered, "We naturally wouldn't stoop to fighting such a guy. Twenty years is more than enough to leave everything behind."

"However, they don't seem to have this understanding."

"I heard they're inquiring about our strategy."

"Hmm?" Palai's eyes narrowed, a hint of surprise appearing in them. "They...are going to ambush us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others burst into laughter.

They are five near-third-stage Divine Sons. It's no exaggeration to say that they are currently the strongest conquest team in the Divine Revelation World, without exception.

Do you think you can just snipe any Tom, Dick, or Harry?

"They've probably lost their minds," the man who spoke shrugged. "Perhaps in their eyes, we're still the same defeated opponents we were back then?"

"Hmph!" Palai sneered. "Then let them see clearly the gap between us."

"Hey you guys, how's the road improvement going?"

"After I further refined it a couple of days ago, the God Lord evaluated it." The only goddess among the five spoke slowly. "The God Lord said that my path has the potential to reach the seventh level of divinity in the future."

"Although it's only barely reached the level of a god, I'm already very satisfied. So, once you've perfected it, we'll all advance to the third level together."

“Even if you barely reach the God-Lord level, you’re still at the God-Lord level.” Another person looked on with envy. “Pera, your talent is still so high.”

"I'm not so good at it. The most recent assessment still only puts me at the Demon General level, and I'm expected to only reach the sixth stage of Divinity."

“I can reach the seventh level, but the God said there’s still room for improvement on my path.” The other person shrugged. “So I’ll wait a bit longer, refine it further, and then consider the third advancement.”

“My assessment result is eighth dan, which is already close to the God Lord’s level.” The fourth person chuckled. “Palai should be even higher, right?”

“Hmm.” Palai nodded. “The other day, the God Lord said that my path has the potential to reach the peak of the ninth level of Godhood.”

“But…” a hint of ambition appeared in Palai’s eyes, “I want to go higher.”

"No matter how powerful a god is, he is ultimately a false god."

Upon hearing Palai's ambition, the others could only marvel.

No wonder this guy is so highly regarded by the God.

“Let’s go.” Palai slowly stood up. “It’s time for our next mission.”

“This time, we’ll choose a more difficult dungeon.” After a moment’s thought, he said, “Let’s choose [Abyss of Sighs].”

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes lit up with surprise.

The Lv90 dungeon, [Abyss of Sighs], is known as the most difficult dungeon in the world of Divine Revelation. Not to mention a perfect clear, very few people have even managed to clear it.

For the five of them, this dungeon was still challenging.

However, there are clearly other reasons why Palai made this choice.

Thinking of this, the group couldn't help but reveal strange smiles.

Those five guys wanted to find out their plans and snipe them?
Then come on!
