Chapter 411-2: Exploration Abyss Report, Abyss Revival (2)
[You have triggered a teleportation trap…]
[Teleporting…]
[…]
“Fuck. Hellish game, you bastard. I’m not done with you!”
Lin Xun did not expect that even the entrance to such a concealed secret room still hid a trap, and it was the most disgusting kind: a teleportation trap.
[…]
[Teleportation successful!]
[You open your eyes and find that all around you is a cold, silent, endless void, and you are currently inside a gigantic prison cage…]
Lin Xun could not help but shiver, recalling the fear of once being dominated by the Child of the Stars inside the Celestial Prison of Captive Stars.
.bg-ssp-11164{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;}[The cage imprisoning you is not a grid of runes, but barred rails condensed from starlight.][The scene here is very familiar. You explored this place not long ago.]
[The Starlight Cage you are in is the cage that once held the Ancient Destruction Demon.]
Lin Xun let out a small sigh of relief. So it was the Starlight Cage.
The Starlight Cage’s defense was astonishing. Trying to smash it apart and escape by brute force was basically impossible.
But that did not trouble him at all.
In the entire Polar Star Society branch, besides the Starrealm Envoy having authority to open the cage, the Star Priest in his Shell Slots also possessed the same authority.
After possessing the Star Priest, Lin Xun easily freed himself and teleported straight back to the Polar Star Society branch.
“Quite a few tricks. Let’s see what else you can pull!”
He returned all the way to the top floor, back to the Starrealm Envoy’s office. The sofa that opened the hidden passage above had already returned to its original position on its own.
With the previous experience, after the square opening opened and the rope ladder dropped down, Lin Xun ignored the hellish game’s climbing prompt. He directly drove transcendent power, controlled the Shell to rise off the ground, and plunged straight into the secret room.
[…]
[You enter the square opening and find that this is a rather cramped attic. What you see is a simple office.]
[You turn and leap up, reaching out to tear down the concealed refined copper trap device located above the entrance.]
[You obtained Teleportation Trap Device (Item)!]
[Teleportation Trap Device (Item): A secondary teleportation magic formation is engraved within the device. When the trap device is within one kilometer of the main teleportation magic formation, it can be driven to teleport the target that triggers the trap.]
[Remaining energy in the current trap device: 50/100]
“Didn’t get many precious treasures, but I’ve picked up a pile of trap devices instead.” Lin Xun muttered helplessly and continued exploring while controlling the Shell.
Suddenly, he opened the Inventory again and looked at the item description. A certain devious idea flashed through his mind.
“This trap seems like it might have other uses. I wonder if I can exploit a loophole with the Flesh Authority.”
Lin Xun planned to finish exploring this place first, then try it afterward.
[The simple office in the attic only has a desk and a chair.]
[You stride forward and find a stack of papers on the desk. The writing on them has been scribbled over and revised, with many sections crossed out. They seem to be draft papers.]
[You found Abyss Exploration Report – Initial Draft (Document)!]
[You silently browse the text recorded on it.]
[…]
[Respected Executor Lord, while leading three subordinates to collect corpse materials for transplant research in the Ramsey Abyss, I made a major discovery.]
[This discovery may very well overturn our past understanding of the world, and may even concern the great Radiant Stars…]
[I led three subordinates and, by accident, discovered a group of gathered high-ranking demons.]
[High-ranking demons rarely live in groups. Each high-ranking demon possesses intelligence not inferior to humans and can command and lead many mid-ranking and low-ranking demons.]
[They are like solitary tigers, each with its own territory. Without special circumstances, they will not gather together.]
[There is only one explanation for such a situation: an even higher-ranked demon has assembled them…]
[(No, I can’t write it like this. Executor Lord will definitely understand the key point of high-ranking demons gathering. Explaining it so specifically makes it seem like Executor Lord doesn’t understand… The above content must be crossed out!)]
[I led three subordinates and, by accident, discovered a group of gathered high-ranking demons.]
[I suspected there must be an even higher-ranked demon directing things from behind the scenes, so I stayed far away, lying in ambush to secretly observe what these demons intended to do.]
[The demons seemed to be conducting some kind of bloody, cruel sacrifice, dismembering low-ranking demons alive and using blood to draw a magic formation I had never seen before.]
[After all the low-ranking demons were live-sacrificed, the blood magic formation was finally completed, and the higher-ranked demon hidden in the darkness finally revealed itself.]
[It was actually a Demon Overlord-level greater demon!]
[The body strength of a Demon Overlord-level greater demon far surpasses humans, and it can also cast powerful hell magic. Even if it were at the same realm as me, with three subordinates assisting in a combined attack, I would not be certain of victory… We could only continue observing from concealment, unable to approach.]
[(Sigh, old bad habit again. How could Executor Lord not know a Demon Overlord’s level and strength… The previous paragraph will be crossed out! )]
[Under the Demon Overlord’s command, over a hundred high-ranking demons surrounded the magic formation, and it began to proclaim…]
[The following are the Demon Overlord’s exact words…]
[The supreme Abyss is about to revive. It will lead every child of the gods with devout and steadfast faith back to the surface, to reclaim the world that belongs to the Abyss!]
[Are you willing, for the supreme Abyss, to offer your lives?]
[The high-ranking demons revealed fanatical expressions, each one raising an arm and shouting loudly that they were willing…]
[The Demon Overlord continued… Every fraction of your strength you contribute will accelerate the progress of the great Abyss revival by one fraction.]
[When the supreme Abyss finally returns to the human realm, you will once again become the masters of this world!]
[With the Demon Overlord’s order, all the high-ranking demons cried out in fanaticism, tore open their own chests, dug out their beating hearts, and poured all the blood in their bodies into the magic formation.]
[One high-ranking demon after another collapsed and died. The magic formation erupted with a dark red glow. The glow shifted from red to black, gradually becoming the most extreme darkness.]
[Afterward, the dark glow sank into the void and vanished.]
[That Demon Overlord-level greater demon seemed to have completed its mission. It blew a strange horn, and its figure became transparent and faint, finally disappearing.]
[Only a large magic formation, dim and drained of color, remained where it stood.]
[I led three subordinates and tried to study the magic formation to obtain some clue information, but regrettably, the formation’s lines and patterns were extremely complex. The mysteries contained within were also extraordinarily obscure, and we were unable to study anything out of it.]
[We could only copy it on the spot for a long time before we barely managed to remember the formation’s appearance.]
[Below is the hand-drawn replica of the magic formation…]
[…]
[…]
[The above is the full content of the report. I swear to the great radiant stars that there is no concealment or false report.]
[Please review it, Executor Lord!]
[…]
[You finish browsing Abyss Exploration Report – Initial Draft and tuck the draft papers into your clothing.]
“Again with the Abyss.”
“What exactly is this Abyss? If the report’s content is true, no, if what the Demon Overlord said is true… then this Abyss might truly be a main god.”
“The place where the Demon Overlord performed the blood sacrifice is called Ramsey Abyss. After the blood sacrifice ended, the Demon Overlord blew a strange horn and disappeared…”
Lin Xun opened the Inventory. Inside lay a horn.
[Abyss Horn (Special Item): A rough horn made from a gigantic horn. It carries a strong primitive style and seems not to have been crafted by humans.]
[Blow this horn at a specific location and something you never expected will occur.]
