Chapter 2682 A New Concept
Chapter 2682 A New Concept
Fang Heng gave a wry smile.
It sounded simple, but in reality, the difficulty was extremely high.
Just as Qiu Yaokang had said, the actual situation didn't allow for it.
First of all, the teleportation passage between the external world and the death realm hadn't fully opened, making it extremely difficult to transport materials. Secondly, the special corrosion effect of the death realm would cause most metals to degrade after being exposed to its aura for a period of time.
Beam weapons simply wouldn't work.
"Let's start with the research first. I'll find a way to gather the development points."
Unable to join the death realm, Mo Jiawei could only handle logistics, nodding in agreement, "Yes, leave the materials to me. If anything is lacking, I'll coordinate with Starfish Company..."
Fang Heng stroked his chin, thinking again.
In other words, the two solutions that Qiu Yaokang provided were merely temporary fixes—giving them a chance to turn the situation around.
The real challenge was how to use this opportunity to completely eliminate the Disaster insect swarm.
Eternal Disaster...
Interesting!
"Brother Fang."
Ji Xiaobo noticed that Fang Heng had been silent for a while and looked at him with some concern, "Brother Fang, are you okay?"
"It's nothing. The results this time were good, and I have some ideas. Let's go, we'll return to the death realm again."
"Alright!"
....
The death realm.
The Bone Dragon carried Fang Heng, Ji Xiaobo, and Kotal back to the area where the undead council had established a teleportation passage.
Many necromancy instructors were already busy within the designated camp area.
"Teacher."
Fang Heng respectfully saluted.
Teacher Gu Luo was in charge of the initial construction of the death realm camp.
"Ah, Fang Heng," Teacher Gu Luo acknowledged. "You arrived at the right time. Recently, we've been exploring the death realm and participating in some small-scale battles with the Disaster creatures. However, it will still take some time before the Tier 5 teleportation passage is upgraded."
Although the undead council wasn't particularly aggressive when fighting against the Holy Court, they truly gave their all when it came to helping. Many of the construction materials had already been gathered, and the necromancy instructors themselves had joined the battlefield to fight the Disaster creatures, earning contribution points to exchange for more materials.
"The biggest problem right now lies with the teleportation passage. Only once we advance it to Level 5 can we physically enter the death realm."
Teacher Gu Luo glanced at Kotal, who was standing beside Fang Heng, and nodded.
"And there's some bad news. I've heard that the situation in the death realm is very dire. At the current rate, the Disaster will likely spread here within a week."
[Hint: The player has triggered a special mission-Threat of Disaster.]
Mission name: Threat of Disaster.
Mission description: The undead council encountered trouble while establishing the teleportation passage and is now facing a Disaster threat. The teleportation passage under construction is at high risk of being destroyed.
Mission requirements: Find a way to open a new passage or rapidly upgrade the teleportation passage level (The player can consume a large number of King of Gods' points to speed up the construction of the teleportation passage).
Special description: It is predicted that the Disaster creatures will reach and destroy the undead council's camp within 112 hours. If the undead council's camp is destroyed, the player will fail the mission by default.
Mission reward: None.
Fang Heng sighed as he looked at the game prompt.
It seemed like the game system was being quite generous by allowing him to directly spend King of Gods' points to upgrade the teleportation passage's level. How thoughtful.
Upon further inspection, he saw that the current teleportation passage was at level 4, with a completion rate of 45%. Upgrading it directly to level 5 would require 15 million King of Gods' points, and upgrading it six levels in total would need an absurd 300 million King of Gods' points.
He had just spent 3 million on something else—now he needed even more?
His King of Gods' points were barely enough to stabilize his zombie clone's solidified state. There was no way he could afford to upgrade it now.
Fang Heng felt a little weary. He had hoped that obtaining the Empress' notebook would solve all his problems, but it seemed like one issue after another kept piling up.
But he couldn't afford to panic. One step at a time.
He needed to figure out how to gather money.
Fang Heng forced himself to stay calm and looked over at Kotal, asking, "Kotal, I remember you mentioned something about your Dragon Grave Mountain lineage. When you built Dragon Grave Mountain, you searched for dragon remains all over the world. So, you should have found a way to leave the death realm, meaning your Dark Clan must also have a passage to the real world, right?"
"Ahem..." Ji Xiaobo coughed lightly, glancing at Kotal nervously, "We wouldn't be that unlucky, right? The Disaster creatures haven't occupied that teleportation passage, have they?"
Kotal shook his head gently and replied, "No, the teleportation passage is an ancient method passed down long ago. However, the passage is now under the control of the Empire, and our clan cannot use it freely. Additionally, it was built by our ancestors, and I'm not sure if you humans can access it."
Phew...
Ji Xiaobo breathed a sigh of relief.
At least this was some good news.
Even if humans couldn't use the Dark Clan's teleportation passage, they could still rely on it to transport materials.
Fang Heng asked, "What if I want to borrow the teleportation passage?"
"Sorry, I can't answer that. We would need permission from Commander Tigranth, but I don't think there will be any major issues."
Good.
"Let's go then. Take me to Commander Tigranth, and let's have a talk."
Just as Fang Heng was about to take action, Teacher Gu Luo nodded and said, "Fang Heng, I know you have plans, but I still suggest you hurry up. I understand that you want to move Dragon Grave Mountain into the death realm, but the Disaster won't give us much time..."
Hearing this, Fang Heng suddenly froze, as though struck by a heavy blow. He stood still, stunned by the realization.
"Brother Fang? Brother Fang...?"
Ji Xiaobo noticed that Fang Heng had zoned out again and gently nudged him, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Fang Heng snapped out of his daze and nodded to Teacher Gu Luo, "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Gu Luo. I understand now, and I'll act as soon as possible."
"Mm, be careful."
The Bone Dragon hovering in the air swooped down again.
"Ji Xiaobo, let's go."
Ji Xiaobo noticed that Fang Heng suddenly seemed different, full of determination, and he couldn't help but find it odd, "Brother Fang, do we have a plan?"
"Of course."
Fang Heng cracked his wrists and couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
Just now, it suddenly clicked for him.
He had been stuck in a misunderstanding.
Why fight against the Disaster?
Even the undead council thought they couldn't defeat the Disaster and were planning to retreat from the death realm, taking as much advantage as they could before leaving.
Since they couldn't win, why fight?
The path to the divine realm required understanding in the Nether River.
What he needed to do was find a way to sneak the Nether River from the death realm back into his Vampire Apocalypse!
Maybe he didn't need to bring it all over, just part of it would do!
After all, the mission required understanding, and there was no specific place where he had to gain that insight!
In fact!
If the death realm was going to be destroyed, why not take the whole thing with him? He could transport the entire death realm back to his Vampire Apocalypse!
He could create a small-scale death realm!
