There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 510, Good Morning! Ghost Cave!

If I had to describe this scene...

"Xiao Yang held a beer bottle, pointed at the head of the Heavenly Dao, and decided on the protagonist of the next era."

Of course, it's not actually that exaggerated.

"There's some flaw in this Heavenly Dao."

Whether it was feasible or not, and even in terms of who contributed the most effort, it was mostly Xiao Yang.

If Xiao Yang can win, then everything will be fine.

If Xiao Yang loses.

"result?"

"God knows."

Of course, Xiao Yang wasn't nervous about this.

When you first encounter all of this, you might panic for a moment, feeling like the sky is about to fall.

but now?
End the dialogue with the will of the world.

silence.

Finally, he let out a long breath.

Xiao Yang remained calm.

"Perhaps this is what growing up is all about."

………….

The use of chaos as a companion element, and the process of gaining new protection.

"Nothing special."

No overly complicated rituals are needed.

Open your mouth and then eat.

The new power, this special blessing, has already been loaded onto my body.

The fact that Xiao Yang could be so relaxed might be due to his own unique characteristics.

After all, broadly speaking, this blessing is a high-level blessing. Whether you can use it depends not only on you, but also more on whether the party giving the blessing is willing to bestow this power upon you.

Even if we follow the normal procedures.

"Rituals, sacrifices, communication, and adjustment."

Even if you complete all of these steps without missing a single one, whether it will ultimately succeed is still uncertain.

But Xiao Yang didn't care about any of that.

He doesn't need the consent of the giver of this blessing; he is a plunderer.

He opened his mouth, swallowed the blessing, and naturally, he seized it and gained this power.

The process is completed.

There is no special feeling.

The only change might be that a new silver color has appeared on the special patterns on the pale skin, which are interwoven with black and red, resembling veins or some kind of mysterious design.

"A dull gray."

Fortunately.

Even with the addition of this dull gray, the patterns that had somehow covered his body weren't very noticeable.

Xiao Yang even had the mood to tease him.

"It's alright, I can still take the civil service exam."

New power has been loaded.

The situation has once again reached the halftime break stage.

The four-way alliance that once besieged the City of Hope is now reduced to only the God of War and that divine abomination.

Both sides have been behaving themselves lately, which may be because they are plotting something with ill intentions.

But no matter what the situation, it's not a big problem.

"I'm not afraid."

We must charge towards the God of War, but we still need to wait for the God of Radiance.

Before that, Xiao Yang was preparing to be sent abroad again.

"In order to figure out what exactly the so-called dungeon materials for the White Bone Relic and the Dungeon Gate are."

Skull Dungeon, Underground Temple.

An ordinary portal appeared before him, and Xiao Yang took the White Bone Relic out of his personal panel.

The dungeon door reacted.

The white bone relic in his hand flew up, and the gate slowly opened.

The dungeon gate opened a door to an unknown land.

The steps paused.

Xiao Yang hesitated as he looked at the open door in front of him.

Such hesitation is normal.

The dungeon gates are too high in status, and too mysterious at the same time.

Xiao Yang didn't know much about it.

This is the first time that the dungeon door has offered new options besides opening the door and anchoring to the dungeon.

"What could it be?"

This question arises.

But expecting the riddle master to provide a detailed explanation for the dungeon door is unrealistic. At this point, all we can do is rely on our own adventurous spirit.

Xiao Yang appeared here fully armed.

We are ready.

Having just finished a battle, Xiao Yang was about to set off again without stopping.

………….

The Realm of Ghosts.

Ghostly Realm.

Just mentioning the name seems to tell you which side this place belongs to.

As one of the 108 evil caves.

Ghost Cave can be considered a well-known interdimensional force in the universe.

Controlling a large realm and extending its influence across the heavens is essentially an achievement that lasts forever.

That is indeed the case.

It has traversed twelve thousand years.

The Ghost Cave remains active throughout the heavens.

From the Daoist Ancestor's preaching in the primitive era, to the subsequent exploration of planes and wars, and now to the interconnected era of gods and games, the world has experienced decline and brief periods of silence, but it still stands tall.

Things haven't been going well lately.

The expansion, which involved almost all of their efforts, resulted in a near-total loss.

Almost all the disciples died, with only a few managing to escape. The resources that would have been enough to wage a high-intensity interdimensional conquest war were wasted. One of the grotto-heavens was lost, and the patriarch was also dead.

This was the most turbulent and uncertain time in the history of Ghost Cave.

Fortunately, they were not unprepared for this situation.

The sealing array in the Ghost Realm has been activated. From now on, the Ghost Realm will be a place where one can only leave but not enter, for a period of five hundred years.

Five hundred years is enough time for them to survive this calamity.

They have plenty of time to lick their wounds.

And even more importantly...

Even if the ghostly immortals perish, they still have the Purple Gold Beam standing tall.

"Just wait quietly for time to pass."

In the center of the Ghost Realm lies the Ghost World.

As a major demonic force, Ghost Cave obviously wouldn't be so particular, but even a rabbit knows not to eat the grass near its burrow.

As a self-retained territory that has been cultivated for a long time, the situation in the Ghost Realm is not so tragic.

This vast world still retains some of its former prosperity.

Although such prosperity is basically built on the plunder of other worlds in the heavens.

If you kill nine out of ten disciples of the Ghost Cave, you might still miss one.

However, perhaps the subtle trend that has recently spread throughout the heavens has also reached here.

These guys weren't as blatant about it.

In the last millennium.

Their mainstays were selling quick-made magical artifacts, participating in wars, and extorting popular shipping routes across the heavens.

It became a kind of entity similar to the military contractors of the heavens.

In the era of interconnected heavens ushered in by the game of gods, many demonic forces have proactively undergone this transformation.

This may be a form of progress.

But one thing is for sure.

They haven't changed at all.

They unleash ghosts upon the desolate world, deliberately creating disasters that affect the world, and periodically harvesting the world's resources.

They attacked the weak astral fleet like pirates.

They forcibly broke through the world's crystal barrier, extracting resources from the desolate world in a one-time act.

Wielding a big stick, they peacefully extorted various forces that posed a challenge to them.

"Plunder and annexation."

They took the selfish aspect of humanity to the extreme.

Blocking off the territory and voluntarily entering a semi-closed state is a difficult transition.

Especially now that Ghost Cave possesses a large amount of celestial assets.

Of course, they won't maintain this blockade indefinitely.

Elders with power and assets control worlds large and small, constantly generating resources.

Every second that the lockdown is extended is a loss for them.

They started the activity.

Perhaps soon, this comprehensive lockdown, which only allows people to leave but not enter, will be greatly relaxed, becoming a measure that is no longer effective.

But what they probably didn't expect was...

The guy who thwarted their expansion plans—the greatest danger came so quickly.

And it happened very suddenly.

While the Netherworld was still bustling with activity, and while those demonic offspring were still selling off their assets from all over the world, the situation remained quite lively.

An ordinary-looking door suddenly appeared in the center of this Netherworld.
