Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Protoss?

After a moment's thought, Zuo Chang changed the wording to one he found more acceptable: "So, they're not human?"

"You can understand it that way. The Herse race, like our dragon race, may look very human, but they are not actually human."

Zuo Chang nodded silently.

The Ascended World already has orcs, dragons, and demons, so the appearance of a god race is not unacceptable.

It's just that the numerical value is slightly higher.

He asked, "Do the Protoss have an advantage in the Mysterious Dungeon?"

"I don't know. I haven't even been inside, how would I know? The only thing I'm certain of right now is—shouldn't you mention your cultivation level, General Heavenly King?"

The old man, Long Ceshi, looked at Zuo Chang with some dissatisfaction.

He continued, "Legend has it that on the day of the promise, the authority of the gods will be scattered across the earth, and the rules she created will no longer be in effect—that's only natural! Without the protection mechanism of lower-level communities, you, a seventh-realm cultivator, probably won't have any advantage, right?"

That's true.

Zuo Chang said, "I have enough ancient crystals now. The only problem is 'divine possession,' which is an extension of the emblem. I don't know how to solve it for the time being."

Belongs to the gods.

An essential item for adventurers to break through the ten realms and become true masters.

Long Strategist looked at him suspiciously: "What's so hard about that? There may be hundreds or thousands of emblems, but in the end, they're just the four major categories of 'earth, fire, wind, and water,' plus a 'special' category. You just need to find the corresponding elemental spirit to fuse with, right? This is the basic principle of the adventure system, don't you know that?"

Zuo Chang waved his hand: "I know the principle, but I don't know which category my emblem belongs to."

oops?

Long Strategist immediately said, "Show me. I am learned in both ancient and modern times and can give you reliable advice."

Without saying a word, Zuo Chang immediately activated the Heavenly God Emblem!

Long Ceshi was slightly taken aback. In an instant, he realized the strangeness of this emblem. It was not one of the four major categories of earth, fire, wind, and water. If one had to say it belonged to a "special category", it was completely different from ordinary special emblems!

This is……

what?

Seeing the suspicious look on Long Ceshi's face, Zuo Chang continued, "My emblem is very special; it cannot be changed. But I don't know where to find the corresponding subordinate deity, so I'm stuck."

"This……"

Long Ceshi put his hands in his sleeves, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's continue talking about the mysterious dungeon."

He couldn't solve it either.

Chapter 263 A Visit!

The next morning, when the citizens of Tianwang City got up, they found that a mysterious thick fog had descended and shrouded Tianwang Square.

The area around Tianwang Square used to be quite bustling.

Upon entering the city gate, you are greeted by a square with a large flow of people. During Qian Wuyi's administration, this was one of the top commercial districts.

After Arc Light replaced the statue of the Heavenly King General with a pitch-black statue of the Heavenly God, she had already reorganized the area and moved the surrounding shops away due to the sensitive nature of the Heavenly God statue.

Therefore, this inexplicably dense fog had little impact on the lives of citizens.

but--

At the end of a dark alley, a hooded man glanced back furtively.

After confirming that no one was around, he decisively placed the teleportation device. Space fractured at that moment, a spindle-shaped crack appeared, and the power of spacetime surged outwards.

Three adventurers emerged from the crack; each of them possessed a beast-like quality and appeared exceptionally capable.

These people were naturally the personal guards of the Hersey family.

"Um--"

A hedgehog-like man with needle-like hair took a deep breath, then smiled: "The air in the lower-level community is still so polluted!"

The others silently surveyed their surroundings.

A woman looked at the hooded man setting up the teleportation device and asked, "Ah Lan, how's the situation?"

The hooded man's tone was far from relaxed: "The situation with 96511 is extremely complicated. This five-digit community is home to many top organizations or individuals who shouldn't be here."

The woman slightly raised her chin: "For example?"

"For example, the Divine Sound Society. The Divine Sound Society occupies Heavenly King City and seems to have plans to take over the entire 96511."

Divine Music Society?

The acting representative of the Divine Sound Society is indeed a remarkable figure.

but……

Ultimately, the Divine Voice Proxy was merely a top-tier expert with a shallow foundation. When the Church of Time fractured, the true essence remained within the "Reading Club."

The woman frowned: "Why did Shenyin's proxy come here? I admit she is quite capable, but she shouldn't know anything about the mysterious dungeon."

"She probably already knows."

The hooded man climbed over the wall, pointed to a thick fog in the distance, and said, "Miss, please look!"

The other three then climbed onto the wall.

They looked up and saw that under the blazing sun overhead, a stubborn white mist was shrouding a certain area of ​​the city.

There were also several warning signs around the white fog.

The sign above reads: Construction ahead.

The hooded man continued, "I inquired around the city, and this thick fog suddenly appeared last night. The construction signs around here were placed this morning by the 'Radiant Guardians' of the Divine Sound Society. It's too much of a coincidence; the Divine Sound Society made this arrangement right after Young Master Wei Lun was attacked!"

That's true...

Worthy of attention.

The woman looked at the distant mist and felt her blood boiling.

She is a member of the Hersey family, and the entrance to the mysterious dungeon can awaken her bloodline, helping her find the hidden passage.

She was certain—

There is an entrance within that thick fog!

Suppressing her surging emotions, she asked, "Have you been to that address?"

"I've gone. The address is right there."

Alan's expression was quite serious. He raised his finger and pointed to the side.

The other three turned their heads and saw a two-story rental house not far away. It was around seven or eight in the morning, and several tenants opened their doors, seemingly heading to work.

Alan continued, "The place was deserted. When I arrived, I didn't find any wood roots or anyone else, but there was hot water in the room, so it must have been an emergency evacuation."

Ah this.

The woman looked at the fog and then at the rented room, sensing that the situation was somewhat tricky.

The last thing she wanted to see was—

It seems to have happened!

The mysterious dungeon is crucial; it is the key to change and can help the Hess family take control of the world!

Such an important thing should naturally be completely in my own hands!

Given the current situation, it seems that the Divine Sound Society has already obtained some information?

The Divine Sound Society is a cross-disciplinary organization.

Once they know the details, it's practically the whole world will know. If the situation continues to worsen, the Hercyn will be unable to explore the mysterious dungeon with peace of mind. They will have to continue their work while fighting against it, making the difficulty skyrocket.

The spiky-haired man glared and shouted, "Sister, kill them! What kind of experts could a five-figure community possibly have? If we kill everyone here, then it won't matter whether it's a secret or not!"

"Cough cough..."

A weak cough suddenly rang out.

The young man who had been silent in the group coughed and said, "Miss, please calm down. I believe that the Divine Sound Society does not have the information, and that someone else knows about the Mysterious Dungeon."

what?

The woman turned her head and looked at the young man.

The young man's face was ashen, and his eyes were unfocused. If he were to lie down on the ground, he would look no different from a corpse.

His name is unknown; he calls himself "Hua Mao" (meaning "flower cat").

The tabby cat continued, "Alan said that Shenyin will occupy Tianwang City and become the master of this place. If they have intelligence, they will definitely send heavy troops to guard it. How could they just use a thick fog to cover it up? That doesn't make sense."

"!"

The woman shuddered and realized what was happening.

Yes.

This is not reasonable.

If Shenyin knew about the mysterious dungeon, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to send a thousand people to guard the entrance!

The tabby cat continued, "It is precisely because of this white mist that I am truly at ease. I judge that those who know the information are wary of the Divine Sound Society, or at least do not trust it. They are not in cahoots, so the news of the Mysterious Dungeon must not have spread."

"But we still cannot let our guard down..."

"The construction signs around the white mist were put up by the Shenyin Society. This indicates that the person who knows the information has immense power behind them, and they can even coerce the Shenyin Society into doing things—this could be a bad sign. If the person who knows the information is even more troublesome than the Shenyin Society, it would undoubtedly be a disaster!"

Are you going to be even more difficult to deal with?!

The spiky-haired man glared again, shouting, "Then what are we waiting for? Sister, kill them! Who cares what kind of demons and monsters they are, just kill them first!"

The remaining three ignored him.

The spiky-haired man grumbled, dissatisfied with their silence, repeatedly muttering, "Kill them, they should be killed. If they aren't killed, how can I use my skills?"

Just then, two people appeared out of nowhere.

It's two women.
