Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 766: Chapter 340: Divine Hall of Truth (2)

With the continuous reduction of the safe zones, the time players can stay within them also decreases.

From being able to stay twelve days out of every fifteen, to ten days, a week, and now only one day every fifteen days.

Xu Dejun said bitterly, ”If this continues, the free staying time in the safe zone will be completely canceled.”

Wu Chang clicked his tongue after hearing this. No wonder the Realm of Reason and the Desolate Realm were at peace before, but recently started going crazy, thinking of attacking the Desolate Realm.

Previously, it was learned that the Desolate Realm used the World Dungeon to channel Abyssal erosion into the Realm of Reason. The Abyss Third Layer then sealed the passage, preventing the accumulated Abyssal erosion in the Realm of Reason from being expelled.

He knew the Realm of Reason was sandwiched between two realms and the living environment was harsh, but he didn’t expect it to be this severe.

In the Abyssal Game, players face dungeons, and outside the game, they have to deal with the Erosion Dungeons of the Crimson Courtyard. It’s a high-pressure survival environment that few can withstand.

He sighed for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask:

”According to you, the Realm of Reason used to be like the Desolate Realm; the current wilderness was once a safe zone eroded by the Abyss. But why didn’t I sense the presence of an Erosion Dungeon in the wilderness where Hercules was chasing you?”

Xu Dejun sighed, ”Because that place is completely dead.”

He paused for a moment and began to explain what the death of a safe zone means.

Safe zones eroded by the Abyss are divided into three types, based on cycles of time, with the interval between two World Dungeons being one major cycle.

The first type of area is the safe zone eroded by the Abyss within one major cycle, which is the control zone they are currently in. This type of area can still be salvaged.

As long as the Erosion Dungeon in the control zone is cleared, the area corresponding to the dungeon can be reversed back into a safe zone.

If the Erosion Dungeon is not cleared within one major cycle, then the area becomes completely eroded and irreversible, but can still be cleared.

Players completing the dungeon at that moment can turn the area into their own private space.

Private spaces have extremely high concealment, and within them, it is relatively safe unless intruded upon by outsiders.

If the second major cycle goes without clearing, by the time the third cycle begins, the Erosion Dungeon will go into a rampaging state.

Either the dungeon successfully erodes, tearing a part of space from the Realm of Reason to ascend to the Abyss Third Layer, or enter the middle layer;

Or erosion fails, the Erosion Dungeon shatters, and apart from a few powerful beings, the other creatures within the dungeon plane go extinct.

But regardless of the outcome, the eroded dungeon area will completely die, becoming a pure wilderness.

The two wilds where Wu Chang saved Xu Dejun twice came about in this way.

After listening to Xu Dejun, Wu Chang looked again at the control zone beneath them, his gaze becoming more complex.

It wouldn’t be long after the World Dungeon finishes that this huge control zone would become an irreversible non-safe area.

In places he couldn’t see, many Erosion Dungeons would go into rampage, ascending, entering the middle layer, or shattering.

Compared to the Desolate Realm, the Abyss in the Realm of Reason is just starting to show its fangs.

Either evolve forward, or stagnate and die.

In Wu Chang’s silence, the aircraft passed through the control zone and entered the safe zone.

Wu Chang isn’t a Realm of Reason player, and he didn’t have any free quota, so Xu Dejun paid a thousand Rotten Silver Coins for him to enter the safe zone.

The lack of private spaces in the Realm of Reason’s safe zone means there aren’t official private spaces here. To have a conversation, they can only rent a compartment in a public area tavern.

Xu Dejun added a time limit to the summons, requiring everyone to be present within five hours.

The two didn’t wait long before all the members who had replied from the previous Order Sect meeting arrived.

According to Xu Dejun, there were a total of thirty-three members present at the original meeting, most of whom were mid-to-upper-level members of the Realm of Reason Order Sect.

In Xu Dejun’s self-deprecating words, their Talent was limited, unable to awaken Divinity, and most haven’t even reached the max level.

But having joined the Management Bureau early on, or having made significant contributions to the bureau, their status wasn’t low.

This led to a predicament where they couldn’t advance nor retreat.

Managing the Realm of Reason’s members was beyond their strength, yet treating them as ordinary members would disappoint others.

So before cutting off ties with the Desolate Realm, they had them handle matters related to the Desolate Realm, allowing them to maintain dignity in both the Desolate Realm and reality.

Currently, only twenty-one people were present, and those who hadn’t replied presumably died under the Bright Society’s pursuit.

Their rank and position were evidenced by their strength. In the Realm of Reason, where strength is logic, most players exude an aura similar to Xu Dejun, not yet reaching the Realm of Reason’s level cap.

The strongest among them only just exuded a divine aura, barely touching the edge of being a Demigod, far inferior to Hercules.

With such strength, it’s no wonder they were pursued by two official members of the Bright Society.

Seeing everyone gathered, Xu Dejun briefly introduced Wu Chang, explaining that it was with Wu Chang’s help that he escaped disaster.

As those responsible for the Desolate Realm, everyone had already heard of Wu Chang, and now seeing him in person, couldn’t help but scrutinize him.

This Peace didn’t have three heads and six arms, so how did he manage to save someone from under the Bright Society?

While everyone was scrutinizing Wu Chang, Wu Chang was also observing them.

Among the twenty-one present, three had Kuafu’s location marked above their heads.

Surviving with Kuafu’s mark overhead was suspicious.

But on second thought, if they were truly Bright Society spies, they should have known even if they didn’t know Hercules was dead, that Wu Chang could see Kuafu’s location mark.
