Chapter 141: The Commission Begins
Wu Chang gazed at the blood-colored testament in front of him, so red it appeared black. Coupling it with the scenes he had just witnessed in the resentment, he could confirm that the Stone of Miracles fulfilling his wish, sending him to the Midnight Graveyard Dungeon, was not a mere coincidence.
The Stone of Miracles, while fulfilling his wish, was also fulfilling the wish of the moon in the Midnight Graveyard Dungeon.
To end everything in the Midnight Ranch, he must break through everything and defeat all opponents in his way.
Will he win?
He will win!
Given such deep resentment, it was impossible for him not to win.
Recalling the scenes he saw in the resentment, the mastermind behind everything, the greatest villain of the dungeon plane, was undoubtedly Mikhail I.
Heartless, ruthless, with meticulous plans, he had eight hundred wily schemes.
He viewed everything happening in the Mikel Kingdom from the perspective of the Miracle Moon, simply put, he was in the god's perspective.
Many things the moon could not understand, he, as a surviving player, could easily see through.
For instance, after merging with the Great Sage and acquiring a human way of thinking, the Miracle Moon believed Mikhail I started the plague to maintain control.
However, in Wu Chang's opinion, things were not that simple.
From Mikhail I wishing upon the Golden Throne, with a small miracle from within the Golden Throne resonating with the Miracle Moon, it was apparent he had discovered the secret of the Golden Throne long ago, and knew it could fulfill his wish.
He only needed to do as the Soul Light Sect did, performing a Heart's Desire in front of everyone periodically, to forever be seen as the chosen one of the people, with his status unshakeable.
Clearly, Mikhail I was deliberately creating the illusion of rare miracles, giving the impression he was abandoned by the gods, luring ambitious nobles to surface, then taking advantage of the plague to annihilate them, seizing their wealth along the way.
At the same time, the rarity of miracles further inspired the pursuit of miracles by various sects, aiming to trigger a miracle as their life's goal.
Facing a plague with no cure, the Spirit Medicine Sect's move to enter the City of Suffering as a whole was an expression of their willingness to forgo life in pursuit of a miracle.
Mikhail I's understanding of the Miracle Moon far surpassed that of others, from initiating the plague, eradicating ambitious nobles, and initiating the first miracle.
To actively exposing the Golden Throne, leading all scholars and nobles of the kingdom into the scheme, collectively setting up Blood Moon Eternal Life.
To Blood Moon Eternal Life secretly hiding a hand, with only him successfully achieving half-eternal life, whereas nobles like Patos, even if they remained conscious, were barely half his pawn.
Everyone involved in Blood Moon Eternal Life was a piece on his chessboard, calculated to death by him.
The only oversight was when he erased the consciousness of the Great Sage in the first miracle, he also "killed" the Miracle Moon.
If the Miracle Moon were still alive, it would understand the wishes of Mikhail I and others, but before its consciousness was erased, influenced by the Great Sage, it was filled with disdain for wishers like Mikhail I craving eternity.
The Miracle Moon, with its consciousness completely vanished, allowed Blood Moon Eternal Life to complete in a bizarre manner.
If the aim is to completely end everything, then one must first take down Mikhail I.
Wu Chang shifted his gaze from the Tree of Miracles and began to look at other areas within the secret chamber.
The presence attracting the Mortal Poison in the secret chamber was not this tree full of resentment, but what lay buried beneath the Tree of Miracles.
He brushed aside the entwined roots of the Tree of Miracles' flesh and saw underneath a fist-sized orb, as if enveloping a black hole within.
Erosion Core.
It could be considered an old acquaintance.
The Erosion Core before him far exceeded the Erosion Core condensed by the Moonlight Sanatorium of the same B-Level dungeon, its abnormal size being the exact thing attracting the Mortal Poison.
Upon closer inspection, one could see the roots of the Tree of Miracles in contact with the Erosion Core writhing continuously, like sucking, with each absorption of Energy from the Erosion Core causing the Tree of Miracles to grow.
Wu Chang seemed to have an epiphany, understanding the Tree of Miracles before him was not the Peaceful Sect moving the Miracle Moon down from the sky but forcedly maturing parts of the Miracle Moon fragments through an Erosion Core cultivation method.
The Erosion Core could power the Mortal Poison to reversely absorb Leman's Divine Power, and also power the Miracle Walker race, accelerating their growth to reach maturation.
This reminded him of the Item Description that popped up upon touching the Erosion Core, simply four words: Spring of Power.
Having gone through the Erosion Dungeon, Wu Chang had gained some understanding of it.
Regarding the Erosion Dungeon, the Management Bureau had a lot of publicly accessible information. However, the intelligence on the Erosion Core was scant.
This effectively was not because the Management Bureau was unaware of the Erosion Core's existence, nor was it due to their insufficient intelligence. The most likely scenario was that the intelligence on the Erosion Core required very high permission levels.
With his current permission level, he couldn't access it.
He previously speculated that the Erosion Core should be an important resource, only that its effects could be harnessed at the Abyss Second Layer or Abyss Third Layer.
The scene of the Peaceful Sect using the Erosion Core to cultivate the Tree of Miracles validated his speculation entirely.
Dubbed as the Spring of Power, the Energy within the Erosion Core could indeed be extracted. However, his current level was too low, and his Energy tier was insufficient to utilize it.
