Chapter 370-2: Game of Rules, Desire Wet Nurse’s Flesh-and-Blood Temple (2)
[Flanda, seeing that you have not responded for a long time, thinks you have been eroded by the malice consciousness and is just about to pull you into its arms to feel your consciousness…]
[You snap back to yourself and quickly signal that you are fine.]
[Flanda still does not feel at ease and insists on hugging you. Through the web of consciousness it checks you over, and only after confirming that you have not been infected by malice does it let you go.]
[At the side, Kim sees this, its eyeballs spinning, and suddenly uses its two huge scorpion pincers to cover its head while shouting, ah no, it thinks it may have been affected by that monstrous face. Someone should come and check it…]
[Flanda rolls its eyes at it, then walks straight out through the broken gate of the spire and leaves the place.]
[Kim can only droop its head and follow behind dejectedly while quietly muttering to you that it is unfair. Why is it that you, Oath bearer, can hug Flanda, but it cannot…]
[Having already found a way to deal with your choice, you relax a little and tell Kim that since the two of you are not on the same web of consciousness, even if Flanda wanted to help it check, it would be unable to.]
[Seeing Kim sink into even deeper dejection, you pat its huge abdomen to comfort it further and tell it that the container of the Purgatory Angel you are currently using has a face that is exactly the same as Flanda’s.]
[Strictly speaking, Flanda is being intimate with its own clone…]
[Kim seems to realize something and hurriedly asks you in excitement whether the two of you, after going through so many hardships and fighting side by side to reach this point, count as good friends who share weal and woe…]Lin Xun instantly thought of a meme.
What would happen if your bro turned into a girl one day?
[You tell Kim to get lost, then follow Flanda out of the spire…]
[…]
[Flanda leads you away from the spire and looks up at the sky path that connects to the eighth layer of the Sacred Nest. According to your plan, Oath bearer, if you want to obtain a container at the transcendent level, the hope in the eighth layer of the Sacred Nest is far greater than in the seventh.]
[The eighth layer of the Sacred Nest is the residential area for some older offspring or favored offspring. Along the entire way, neither the angel warriors who originally guarded the seventh layer nor the offspring living here are anywhere to be seen.]
[Instead of wasting time searching the seventh layer, it is better to head to the eighth layer of the Sacred Nest…]
[Although the eighth layer of the Sacred Nest is comparatively more dangerous than this place and you may encounter an existence you cannot contend with, like Soren, there is no other way now but to go and try.]
[Flanda asks your opinion. Should you go to the Eighth Layer of the Sacred Nest?]
Lin Xun knew that the seventh layer, as well as the first six layers before it, definitely still had many valuable underground areas that had not been explored.
But right now, the most important task was to find a demigod Shell, whether for increasing his own strength or for completing the subsequent Dual-Perfection Method plan.
He decisively pressed ‘Yes.’
[There are no Pilgrimage Angels in the sky, and there are no Ascended beings anywhere in the seventh layer of the Sacred Nest that can act as the Wet Nurse’s eyes. You have no need to skulk about and can simply fly directly across the boundary of the sky and arrive at the Eighth Layer of the Sacred Nest…]
[Flanda stamps the tip of its foot heavily against the ground and shoots straight up like a cannonball. You beat the bone wings on your back and follow its flight trajectory…]
[Only Kim is left behind to stomp and hop about in place…]
[…]
In the end, Kim still came along. Although its Painbearer container had no wings and its body was so large that even if it had wings it would be hard-pressed to fly,
According to Flanda, for any existence that touches transcendent power, flight is merely the most basic ability.
The reason Kim could not fly was that in essence it was still a parasite and had not properly comprehended the transcendent power of its container.
As an Apostle player, Lin Xun could easily understand what this meant.
The ability of flight belonged to transcendent power that did not appear in the skill bar, and Kim, like him, was a wandering soul possessing a Shell.
Shells like the Purgatory Angel, which physically had wings, could fly, and Shells like the Greedy Wolf Star Lord, with sword-riding arts in the skill bar, could also fly.
However, a Shell with neither wings nor flying skills could not be made to fly.
The meaning of transcendent might well be to master some abilities that the Shell originally could not develop.
Under Flanda’s guidance, Kim quickly grasped the ability to fly without wings. But since it had only just learned, its flight speed was absurdly slow, and it wobbled so much that it could not maintain its balance.
When the group reached the eighth layer of the Sacred Nest, what they saw was exactly like the seventh layer.
[…]
[You are in a deserted street. The city of the Eighth Layer of the Sacred Nest is deathly silent, with not a single Ascended being in sight. An invisible chill spreads through the air.]
[The scene here is exactly the same as what you observed in the seventh layer of the Sacred Nest, with only one difference: the sky…]
[In the firmament above, a gigantic spherical object floats. Its color blends into the sky itself, and only the distortion of air around the edges of the sphere lets you see the outline of the enormous sphere.]
[It is like a huge star-body extremely close to the ground, pressing you with infinite oppression, making it feel as though in the next instant the star will crash into the earth and destroy the world you know.]
[The entire city is built around this spherical star-body, its layout wrapping around the star. You can even see the opposite side at the top of the sky, where there are city buildings hanging upside down.]
[Such a shocking sight leaves you and Kim unable to return to your senses for a long time…]
[Flanda closes its eyes and silently senses. After a long time, it speaks to you with a solemn expression. The number of offspring living on the Eighth Layer of the Sacred Nest is not large and might even be called sparse.]
[It cannot sense the presence of some powerful, older offspring, but it should at least be able to sense some weaker, favored offspring who live here because they are pampered.]
[However, the result is that within the range of its perception, there is not a single living creature. Just like in the seventh layer of the Sacred Nest…]
[Flanda looks up at the transparent, gigantic star-body and continues speaking to you. There is only one reasonable explanation for this situation…]
[All the offspring are in the very center of the Sacred Nest, the ninth layer.]
[That star-body is the Ninth Layer of the Sacred Nest. That is where the Wet Nurse resides, and there is only one building there, namely the Desire Wet Nurse’s Temple of Flesh and Blood!]
Lin Xun: ???
“You have got to be kidding me. I have not even found my demigod body yet, and I already have to face the final boss?”
