Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 621: Ancient Empire Ruins

Going in circles, Li Wei had spent nearly twenty-seven years and finally completed the prologue of his mission. He was about to begin his Outpost Safehouse mission. He wondered if he would make it in time.

But without a doubt, this pair of red dragon siblings were truly excellent Angel Investors. Perhaps it was because they had lived long enough. Of course, another reason was their consistently neutral stance, which allowed them to easily avoid offending people, making many friends and few enemies.

Some people and organizations were unreliable, but the reputation of the Alliance of Heavenly Lords and the Multiverse Lords was undoubtedly quite good.

Li Wei expressed his thanks and magnanimously accepted the one hundred pieces of Standard Origin Ore. Meanwhile, this Eldest Princess of the Red Dragon Empire, the Draconic Sorceress Olyndel, had casually drawn a Teleportation Gateway and taken out a general-purpose Five-Star Supply Storage Card to hand over to him.

"Please be careful. The Chaotic Realm is the graveyard where the three great empires of the Ancient Era perished, and it is a severely afflicted area ravaged by a chaotic Origin of Magic. That is a land shrouded in curse and despair, incomparably vast and expansive. The land stretches on almost endlessly. During that era, our Ancient Dragonkin were all mounts and servants to those Heaven-Blessed Mages. Our supreme and great Primordial Dragon God relied on the luck of surviving that year, and spent a hundred thousand years to build a Dragon Spire on the edge of the Chaotic Realm that could partially suppress the chaotic Origin of Magic."

"Over countless years in the past, who knows how many organizations have wanted to explore the Chaotic Realm? Some successfully built an Outpost Safehouse and barely established a Bridgehead, but it would often be leveled by a few Chaotic Storms."

"Today, I quite admire the courage of your Alliance of Heavenly Lords. Oh, right, one more thing. It's fine on the edge of the Chaotic Realm, but if you venture deep into it, the lower your strength, the better. Once a target at the Tier-6 Immortal level enters, they will automatically become the eye of a Chaotic Storm!"

"Now that you have advanced to the Fifth-Tier, you are actually no longer very suited to build an Outpost Safehouse. However, you possess some skills and might succeed. Let it be."

"Thank you. In the future, I will honor my promise. If the Red Dragon Empire ever needs me, I will definitely support you to the best of my ability!"

After Li Wei thanked her again, he didn't hesitate anymore and stepped directly into the Teleportation Gateway. His figure vanished instantly.Meanwhile, the Eldest Princess of the Red Dragon Empire, Olyndel, thoughtfully watched the portal dissipate. Not a moment later, her brother rushed over with a look of shock and suspicion. "Sister, what are you doing? Why didn't you retain him? For a person who can remain conscious even under a Sequence Nine Psychic Storm, he either has secrets we don't know about, or his Collective Sanity is extremely high. Moreover, his combat power is formidable. He is exactly the talent we urgently need!"

"Brother, he is a Multiverse Lord. I just thought of forming a good relationship first. Right now, the Chaotic Realm is surging with turbulent events, and the future is unpredictable. Ten thousand years ago, we rejected the recruitment and alliance offer of the Alliance of Heavenly Lords. But I feel that in the future, even if we still can't form an alliance, having a potential ally is still very good."

"A Multiverse Lord? This kid... I was wondering why everything about him seemed a bit off. But the Alliance of Heavenly Lords has always been very low-key with very little presence. They've constantly been provoked and beaten up by Various Factions coming to their doorsteps. How are they suddenly rising up now? Wait, they want to build an Outpost Safehouse in the Chaotic Realm?"

"That's right, yes, Brother. Regardless of whether it succeeds this time or not, it's enough to show that they intend to develop in the Chaotic Realm. Perhaps there might be new changes in the future—"

"Wait, you didn't just randomly teleport him away, did you?"

"How could I? It would be better to just kill him outright. I teleported him to the famous City Ruins of the Old Aulsen Empire. That area is the most suitable for building an Outpost Safehouse, but it's also a place that Various Factions would choose. Let's see how he fights for his life; building an Outpost Safehouse isn't that easy."

"Of course, even so, the difficulty of his start will increase tenfold. Because I could only ensure that he would be teleported to that City Ruins, but exactly where, I don't know either."

"Bang!"

Li Wei crashed heavily onto the ground, falling solidly. For a moment, he felt as if his brains had been evenly blended by a centrifuge.

If he hadn't believed that the Red Dragon Grand Princess wouldn't go so far as to harm him, he would have almost thought he had been set up.

He swore he would never try this kind of long-distance, cross-planar random teleportation magic again.

"Blegh!"

After a bout of dry heaving, Li Wei finally recovered slightly. But before he had the chance to climb up and observe his surroundings, his whole person was grabbed by the left leg by an unknown monster that appeared out of nowhere. Lifted up like a little chick, he was thrown into an abyss-like massive mouth in the next second.

Gulp, he was swallowed down.

Fuck!

Li Wei was powerless to resist and could only go with the flow, thereby enduring the first wave of challenges upon entering the Chaotic Realm. It was also the challenge he would have to endure every single moment from now on—the Blood Plague!

Starting right off with a Level 6 Blood Plague!

Fortunately, Li Wei had currently achieved Level 5 Awakening in All Attributes. He didn't feel much pressure resisting this Level 6 Blood Plague.

Especially since he was now wearing the Seven-star Ancient Sacred Heavy Armor, which had a huge advantage in corrosion resistance and Blood Plague resistance. Even though he was soaking in bizarre liquid—well, it wasn't unbearable.

His condition was improving; the dizziness in his head was lessening, and the numbness in his limbs was retreating. Ten seconds later, he was full of vitality again.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to charge out, because he discovered that the concentration of the Blood Plague in this unknown Blood Plague Zombie's stomach was surprisingly stable, constantly maintained at Level 6.

This was quite good.

Of course, this didn't mean he would hide here forever, but rather that he had to find out the reason why this Blood Plague Zombie's body could maintain a stable Level 6 Blood Plague.

Thinking this way, Li Wei drifted with the tide while taking out a few specially made Magical Alloy Plates from his Ancient Card. He quickly assembled these alloy plates into a square bucket and slapped it over his head. By connecting it to his heavy armor, he could barely form a relatively sealed space.

Because Magic Alloy could effectively isolate the erosion of the Blood Plague.

Although Li Wei's heavy armor helmet was sturdy, there were still some exposed areas.

After a flurry of activity, he quickly secured his current state. As long as the outside Blood Plague didn't suddenly rise to Level 7, he could hold out for at least a month. Only after that would he have to take an Anti-Blood Plague Potion.

Next, Li Wei calmed down, closed his eyes tightly, sealed his mouth and nose, and activated Magic-Piercing Perception, raising his perception to the maximum. Currently, he could maintain this state for 24 seconds, yet it still only consumed 50 points of Spiritual Power. This was the only change brought about in this aspect after reaching Level 5 Awakening in all attributes.

No, there was also an invisible, passive change: the penetrative power, stability, and a certain feeling like color saturation of his perception. This was something he couldn't experience when he hadn't activated Magic-Piercing Perception before.

Previously, when he changed into a Light Armor Set and his perception stat reached 69 points, he didn't have this kind of saturation. Forgive his limited vocabulary; he couldn't describe it for a moment.

Anyway, perhaps it was like a person who had been imprisoned for months and could only see a gray, dusty sky and gray city walls, suddenly seeing blue skies and white clouds, seeing fresh rain on empty mountains, and seeing massive swaths of dark green surging into their eyes. That kind of shock!

Life is surprisingly so magnificent!

It was roughly like that.

So at this moment, unsurprisingly, he observed this unknown Blood Plague Zombie in detail. Even though he was in its belly, Li Wei could see through it from the inside out like a deity, making it clear at a glance!

At this moment, extra time became meaningless. He only needed one second to perceive it clearly.

This was truly too advantageous.

Li Wei had to admit that his previous summary still underestimated himself, or rather, underestimated the immense advantage of the Tier 5 Holy Ranger Card.

In short, although his Perception and Spiritual Power hadn't increased now, a qualitative change had occurred in width, breadth, and an even larger dimension.

"Now, 1 point of Perception is comparable to 1.2 points before. Because this kind of perception is no longer ordinary perception; it should be given a new name, or have a prefix added, like Origin Perception or Divine Perception. Damn it, this gives me the illusion that I'm an Immortal Cultivator, projecting my Divine Sense outwards."

Li Wei himself was very shocked. Truly, this hadn't surfaced in the specific data information. Was it because his current physical body was too powerful, and his soul was also powerful, making it difficult for the information data to describe this state?

Next, Li Wei tried to control his perception. In the past, he couldn't; perception thrown out was like a married daughter—it was consumed once spent, just letting the sheep loose in all directions.

But now, he naturally felt as if he could roughly and clumsily gather his perception and adjust its key direction. Although the effect was very poor, it actually left Li Wei incomparably shocked.

This was too profound!

Or was it a case of reaching the same destination via different paths?

Unknowingly, Li Wei's perception had already passed through the body of this Blood Plague Zombie and probed in the direction it was advancing. It really was like he was looking with his own eyes; it was too miraculous.

Outside was actually a City Ruins. He could see the remains of still-sturdy city walls, the ruins of palaces that were still standing, and Blood Plague Zombies that could be seen everywhere. Some of them clearly still maintained their appearance from when they were alive, as well as some of their habits. For example, some soldiers were still following the prescribed order, patrolling and guarding. From afar, this seemed to be a city that had never fallen, where everything was normal.

However, some Blood Plague Zombies had undergone very severe mutations. For instance, the one that ate Li Wei seemed to be a mid-level commander among the soldiers in this city, a Mini-Boss template.

Its height was at least over thirty meters, and it wore the heavy, thick armor of an ancient empire general. Hmm, wait, it looked very familiar. Wasn't this the kind of ancient empire zombie that ran out when the Neanderthals triggered the Great Frost over a hundred years ago?

Holy crap, is this the ruins of the Old Aulsen Empire?

What fate!

Speaking of this place, he had heard way too much about it.

The former Tyrant William, Duke Vile the Treant, Duke Kaidel, and Duke Juniper—these four well-known, prominent figures had come here many times over a thousand years ago. They had explored and excavated enough legacies of the Old Aulsen Empire here to qualify for the reconstruction of the Orson Empire.

This feeling was too wonderful. History was built upon history, layer upon layer, making one unable to help but sigh with emotion.
