Chapter 161: Tailored Rules?



This matter, of course, could not be plainly discussed with them. Lin Xiao only mentioned that he had a sudden insight but did not reveal what it was.

They weren’t the type to pry for details, and without further questions, Lin Xu simply handed over a bit of divinity and asked,

“Did you sense anything just now?”

Lin Xiao nodded and said,

“I found that the state of the vampire demigod seems a bit off at the moment, quite strange, I can’t quite put my finger on what it resembles.”

Lin Xu gave a slight smile and said,

“If I am not wrong, that vampire demigod isn’t even in this plane.”

“Not in this plane?”

“Right, not in this plane. Just now, I stealthily probed with my will and found that its true body is very far from here, and I also discovered a set of coordinates from the lingering will of the vampire demigod,” Lin Xu explained.

Lin Xiao immediately showed interest and asked,

“So, do you know where those coordinates are, and what they are coordinates of?”

Lin Xu’s lips curled into a strange expression as he lightly uttered two words,

“God’s Tomb!”

“God’s Tomb?”

“Correct, coordinates to a God’s Tomb, and the true body of the vampire demigod has already entered the God’s Tomb.”

Lin Xiao instantly understood why that Yu Ming trade company was willing to exchange three points of divinity for this bit of divinity. The claim that the company had a master with the Blood God’s Duty was pure bunk; he estimated that the main aim was probably these coordinates.

He looked up at Lin Xu who also appeared interested, and then over to Shen Yuexin, who shrugged and said,

“I’m quite interested too.”

“Hahaha!”

All three of them laughed, and Lin Xiao rubbed his hands together and said,

“Then we should not delay, let’s quickly clear the battlefield and set out.”

Compared to a God’s Tomb, the spoils of war in Alfonso City held little attraction now.

Indeed, only the tombs of fallen True Gods are worthy of being called God’s Tombs; the resting places of fallen demigods do not merit such a title.

Of course, when a True God falls, they plunge into Starworld, and their bodies become floating islands scattered throughout the Starworld. The mortal plane generally doesn’t have the bodies of deities, and even if it does, those are usually remnants of a True God’s will, not an actual burial of a deity’s true body.

And the remnants of a True God’s will or soul are formidable. Even demigods risk falling when entering the tombs of some powerful True Gods.

But, as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.

Anything buried in a True God’s tomb would be considered treasure to them. The level of a True God is significantly higher than their current level; artifacts used by a True God are also something they dream of possessing. Plundering a God’s Tomb could yield greater rewards than slaying a demigod.

It’s not certain that they could get the best treasures from the God’s Tomb, but acquiring just a small portion of artifacts beyond their current level would already count as a huge win.

What’s most crucial is that a true God’s Tomb typically has God Guards, who are not just ceremonial like their own, but actual divine protectors, literally imbued with Divinity.

Indeed, the core guards of a True God’s Divine Palace are Divine Beings; some powerful True God’s guards even include demigods. Only these divinely powered God Guards can withstand the constant radiation of Divine Power near the Divine Palace and can fend off attacks from True God-level enemies.

Over centuries and millennia, these God Guards’ power wanes due to erosion, significantly lowering the difficulty of defeating them. With each one killed, that’s one point of divinity gained, and if there are many God Guards, one can’t fathom how many points of divinity could be collected.

After discussing, the three lost interest in the tournament and quickly ordered their subordinates to scavenge anything valuable in the city to prepare for departure.

Having destroyed Alfonso City and even killed a vampire demigod’s incarnation, they had completed their mission.

Under the normal itinerary, they were to assist others, but they could also take the opportunity to wander around for additional benefits within the rules’ allowances.

Moreover, if the vampire demigod was indeed in the God’s Tomb, it was perfect timing as the final phase of the tournament was to slay the vampire demigod.

After eliminating all resistance in the city, they had no interest in slowly tallying the spoils as originally planned, but rather had their clans transport everything gathered into the Divine Realm.

Mostly it was metal goods, weapons of war, household metal items, books and scrolls, copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, various jewels, and so on. They didn’t tear down houses—they indeed had such a wild idea before—but now that they had news of the God’s Tomb, such an idea no longer held any appeal.

Of course, they still dismantled the three Magic High Towers and the castle of the Duke of Vampires, with one for each of them.

Beyond that, they preliminarily reconstructed the towers’ structure based on the scrolls remaining within the towers and their own observations of the towers’ design.

Once the Wise Goblins developed further, they could attempt to study these and replicate a set of Magic High Towers for themselves.

This isn’t urgent; there’s no need to expect it to be useful during Summer Camp, giving them plenty of time to study and develop it.

Three hours later, the three Clan members all returned to the Divine Realm, and the trio set off again.

Lin Xu marked the coordinates on the map, and he and Shen Yuexin each downloaded a copy.

Looking at the larger map, the coordinates were surprisingly not within the Vampire Kingdom nor the Human Kingdom, but at the border between them, marked as Eagle Beak Gorge in a place called Red Stone Plateau on the map.

The three looked at this location and exchanged glances, each seeing the gravity in the others’ eyes.

Because although this place was at the intersection of the two kingdoms, at the center of the plane, it didn’t mean it was safe.

The Red Stone Plateau was so named because the exposed land in this area was reddish, just like the barren lands at the broken edges of the plane.

The reason for this was because this fragment of the plane had once endured a severe beating, and the region’s space was filled with cracks, from which Void Energy seeped out, creating terrifying Void Storms in that area.

While it was not as fearsome as the true Void Storms outside the plane, it was still not something mortals within the plane could withstand.

Therefore, although Red Stone Plateau was right at the center of the plane, it was like a forbidden land, with almost no life existing there. Occasionally, there were beings that could endure the strength of the Void Storms without perishing, and they were sure to be extremely horrific entities.

The actual location of God’s Tomb was behind one of the spatial cracks in a semi-plane. There were spatial cracks all over the Red Stone Plateau; even Demigods who entered these cracks to the Void Sea would find it difficult to return. For the likes of them, not even Demigods, once trapped there, they only had the option of forcibly returning.

That’s why, without the exact coordinates, no one could find the target, nor did they dare to try at random. This was the main reason why Yu Ming Trade Co., Ltd. wanted the Divinity of the Semi-god Vampire; they wished to locate the true position of the vampire through its Divinity.

The Vampire Demi-god had already entered God’s Tomb ahead of time. From the actions of Yu Ming Trade Co., Ltd., it seemed that the Vampire Demi-god must be trapped inside God’s Tomb; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to venture forth.

It took only half a day for them to cross thousands of kilometers and enter Red Stone Plateau.

It was quite recognizable; as long as one saw the endless mountain ranges ahead, all reddish, with shocking black cracks like wounds scattered across the land and sky, with billowing black Void Energy spewing forth in columns, one would know they had arrived.

These dark cracks were the wounds of the plane, where an unimaginable, fierce divine battle in ancient times shattered a super-large plane, leaving these scars on the remnants. Void Energy flowed through the wounds into the plane, turning this area of several hundred thousand square kilometers into barren land.

Red Stone Plateau, Eagle Beak Gorge.

There was a marker on the map, located at the lower middle of the Red Stone Plateau—a very inconspicuous large gorge.

The reason for its name was that many years ago, a Divine Storm Eagle lived here, but nowadays, that Storm Eagle had already fallen, hunted by the Vampire Demi-god.

In fact, besides the Human Demigod and the Vampire Demigod, there are no other Divine Beings in this plane now; all of them were killed by these two, plundering Divinity to strengthen themselves, which was the only way for them to achieve Divine Enthronement.

This piecemeal plane could only sustain the birth of one True God, which is why the Human Demigod and the Vampire Demigod have been fighting over the years, each wanting to kill the other and seize their Godhood and Divinity.

As they sat on the magic carpet, surveying the barren Red Stone Plateau, a large camp could be seen between the mountain peaks of a vast gorge on a high ground within the Red Stone Plateau. It was clear that the camp had been there for quite some time, with a complete stone wall and permanent buildings, especially a small castle in the center of the camp, which looked like the territory of a minor noble at first glance.

Inside the castle, on the second floor hall, a red solid wood long table was placed in the center, and above it hung a candle chandelier.

Zhang Feng sat at the head seat and said to the five men and women on both sides of the long conference table:

“The people we sent have already gotten hold of Yu Xiu, and the Divinity will soon be delivered. We’ll use it to determine the Vampire Demi-god’s position.”

The man closest to him on his right side touched his uniquely shaped hairstyle and said:

“The company is just sending us few in? Where’s the team leader?”

Zhang Feng replied:

“The team leader has already located the Sanctuary of the Human Kingdom’s Demigod and is confirming the final details. If found, the team leader will summon all the company’s hands within this plane cluster to kill the Human Demigod before those Summer Camp students discover it.”

“So you’re saying it’s up to just us five here?”

Zhang Feng nodded:

“Yes, just the five of you, but isn’t this your opportunity?”

He winked and smiled:

“Although the company has regulations that the spoils are to be redistributed upon invitation, as the first group of explorers, as long as you find God’s Tomb and explore it fully, won’t there be extra benefits?”

He finished speaking, raising his eyebrows suggestively at the man, who responded with a knowing smile.

The other four, of course, understood the implication and showed interested expressions.

At this moment, a man whose hair atop his head seemed like a blue flame burning spoke up:

“I heard that there are many God Guards inside God’s Tomb. If the number is right, then we are in for a fortune.”

“Shh!”

The first man put his finger to his lips and shushed:

“Zi Feng, some things are better left unsaid.”
