1923 Dominating
“At that time, the Holy Court’s power was at its peak, and Mock was a key figure in the undead faction. The Holy Court’s simultaneous multi-front warfare and disdain completely angered the undead faction.”
“Although the undead faction was still somewhat lacking in hard power at that time, they chose to confront the Holy Court head-on. This led to several months of continuous clashes.”
“We don’t know the exact details of what happened during that time. Many events are now buried in history. What we know is that we were defeated. Mock, along with many key members of the undead faction, perished in that battle, and the entrance to the death realm was destroyed.”
“This battle inflicted significant trauma on the Holy Court. Two of the twelve Saint of the Holy Court fell in battle, causing a substantial decline in the overall strength of the Holy Court.”
“Subsequently, realizing their incapacity for multi-front warfare, the Holy Court temporarily withdrew, leaving behind the devastated game world of Ciboreya.”
“Many events unfolded afterward. The Holy Court weakened and unable to fight on multiple fronts, achieved a temporary peace with the undead.”
“The game world of Ciboreya gradually regained peace, with various races multiplying in the world of Ciboreya. However, the remnants of the undead aura persisted from the time when the passage to the death realm existed. Players focusing on the study of necromancy discovered that practicing necromancy in the game world of Chiporeia still provided significant benefits. Over time, this place became a hub for necromancy cultivation.”
Fang Heng listened to Feudal Lord Dani’s account with a furrowed brow.
The history of the game world of Ciboreya seemed unrelated to the information he currently sought. The only peculiar detail was likely the involvement of the great holy sword.
Drawing on the information Ji Xiaobo had previously acquired, Fang Heng speculated that the great holy sword they found in the Frost Hell of Punoze might have been used by the Holy Court during the great war to obliterate the passage to the death realm.
With scant clues, Fang Heng could only make speculative conjectures. Perhaps, after that incident, as two of the Holy Court’s twelve Saint fell, the great holy sword was brought back by the Holy Court and subsequently employed to seal the rupture in the death realm within the game world of Punoze. This seemed to be a more plausible hypothesis.
It appeared that Ji Xiaobo’s current expedition might end up yielding no substantial results. The great holy sword seemed to have little relevance to this place.
Then, the problem came.
What the hell was Mock’s secret engravings?
After pondering for a moment, Fang Heng continued his inquiry, “So, what about Mock’s secret engravings? I discovered one of Mock’s secret engravings in the Jones Kingdom, and the Holy Court is also actively seeking secret engravings. Is there any connection between these events?”
Feudal Lord Dani responded, “Yes, that was a subsequent development. After an overt peace was established between the study of necromancy and the Holy Court, granting control over the game world of Ciboreya, the study of necromancy experienced a resurgence. Players stumbled upon Mock’s secret engravings and discovered its association with the Mock Temple. Through these secret engravings, players gained additional enhancements in their cultivation.”
“However, Mock’s secret engravings were departed behind long before the conflict between the undead and the Holy Court. Therefore, many believe that Mock’s secret engravings are linked to the deepest secrets of this world.”
Dani paused briefly before continuing, “I was fortunate to obtain one of Mock’s secret engravings a few years ago. I invested considerable time and effort, but unfortunately, I did not uncover any useful information. As you mentioned, if the Holy Court’s arrival is connected to these engravings…”
Fang Heng inquired. “What? What did you think of?”
“The Mork Temple is also built in the heart of the Enkama Empire. I’m wondering if the people from the Holy Court could be invading the Enkama Empire because of the Mork Temple.”
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up as he listened.
Indeed! This guess was very likely!
“Fang Heng, it’s extremely difficult for us to face the Holy Court at the front line. To be honest, I don’t have any confidence in becoming the final winner. If this continues, we’ll lose in half a month. If there’s a turning point, the Mork Temple might be our last hope.” Dani continued, “I can’t get away right now. I’ll get someone to bring you the secret engravings once I get online. I hope it’ll be of help to you.”
“Okay, thank you. Keep in touch.” Fang Heng nodded and hung up.
He was very interested in Mock’s secret engravings.
“What a pity.” Fang Heng couldn’t help but sigh.
The people of the Holy Court were all unyielding, and it was very difficult to get any information from them.
Otherwise, he might be able to gain some information if he captured one and asked.
Putting down his phone, Fang Heng stretched his back when he saw that it was already late at night.
The door to Gu Qingzhu’s room was tightly shut. It appeared that she had already rested.
He decided not to disturb her.
He persisted playing the game!
He persisted to work hard!
In the game world, after Fang Heng hurriedly logged on, he immediately received a notification about the game.
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (normal form) has completed the repair of the high-level teleportation passage… [Teleportation passage device integrity increased by 0.007%]
[Hint: The current high-tier teleportation passage device is complete: 87.1%. The minimum activation requirements have been met.]
Very good.
The teleportation passage had been repaired.
The number of zombie clones still proved to be incredibly useful. Despite the completion rate being in the single digits, personally repairing it would have taken at least one or two days.
Fang Heng nodded and called Anthea and the others to accompany him back to the underground teleportation hall.
Upon entering the inner region of the castle, Anthea stepped into the teleportation hall ahead of the others.
Seeing the completed repair of the teleportation passage, a hint of astonishment appeared in Anthea’s eyes. She couldn’t help but glance at Fang Heng.
Less than an hour had passed, and the teleportation passage was already fully repaired.
The dozen or so engineers from Jones Nation, who were following Anthea, were also quietly amazed.
“Anthea, the teleportation device has been partially repaired. Next, I need your assistance to help me initiate the teleportation channel.”
“Alright, we’ll do our best,” Anthea replied, waving her hand.
The dozen or so engineers from Jones Kingdom entered the hall and approached the command station of the large-scale space-tearing device. They began assisting in opening and verifying the teleportation passage.
Activating the teleportation passage required player assistance.
While Fang Heng could use the zombie clone to complete this operation, it proved too troublesome.
The zombie clone lacked the necessary intelligence and could only execute most low-level commands.
The Jones Kingdom engineers swiftly got to work, checking the status of the teleportation passage.
“Number one activation part test complete…”
“Number one has successfully passed the verification.”
“The second part is currently under verification…”
As Anthea listened to the engineers’ reports, she felt an unexpected sense of nervousness. Her relief only came when she heard that all parts of the portal had been inspected, and the teleportation passage had successfully passed verification.
Anthea turned to Fang Heng. “World Lord Fang Heng, we have confirmed that the passage is complete. We can initiate the passage for teleportation.”
