Chapter 2800 The Altar
Chapter 2800 The Altar
The Death Realm Orb was placed upon the altar, casting its reflection high in the sky.
At the same time, two faint wisps of mist began to gradually condense on either side of the altar.
The mist slowly formed the appearance of gateways leading to the Holy Realm and Hell.
Fang Heng pulled his gaze away from the passage.
At this moment, because of the existence of the Death Realm Orb and the altar, the entire Vampire Apocalypse world was gradually being transformed into the Death Realm.
Now, it was just a matter of time.
The creation of the Death Realm Orb and the passage would take time.
As souls guided to the Vampire Apocalypse world continued to pour in and enter the Abyss of Despair, and once the Gates of Soul Will to the Holy Realm and Hell were fully opened, the Death Realm Orb would guide the reincarnation of souls, absorbing their willpower and strength, then gathering that power into the Nether River.
As the strength of the Nether River revived, the death power in the Vampire Apocalypse world would increase at an astonishing rate.
At that point, the Vampire Apocalypse would truly be transformed into the Death Realm.
However, strangely, Fang Heng noticed that his mission had not changed.
He opened the mission details again.
Mission name: Underworld Lord's Advancement
Mission difficulty: SSS.
Mission type: Guidance mission.
Mission guideline 1: Follow the Path of Empress Persephone.
Mission requirements: Unify the death realm (0/1) and gain the recognition of the Dark Clan (0/1).
Mission guideline 2: The Lost Puzzle.
Mission requirements: Find more relevant clues and attempt to fill in the gaps.
For now, Fang Heng pushed aside mission guideline 1. He had initially thought the missing piece of the puzzle referred to the Death Realm Orb.
Now that the orb was successfully acquired, there was no new hint for the mission.
"What am I missing?"
Fang Heng lifted his head and looked again at the orb levitating at the center of the altar.
The orb was slowly beginning to emit a brilliant glow.
On either side of the altar, thin wisps of mist began to rise.
The outlines were still not fully condensing, and the wills of souls from various worlds couldn't yet be guided to their rightful worlds of allegiance.
Just wait a bit longer.
Once the orb completed its fusion, maybe there would be a new hint.
Fang Heng flipped his wrist, and the Punoze teleportation scroll appeared in his palm.
For now, it was best to return to the undead council and discuss the situation with the instructors there.
Fang Heng felt a slight unease.
If his guess was correct, and the disaster was also the Seed of Ouroboros, then Mu Qingxin might act against him at any moment.
It was time to speed up and extract everything he could from the death realm.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot..."
Before leaving, Fang Heng suddenly remembered something. He turned back and waved his hand toward the Death Realm Orb.
"Whoosh!"
The dark golden protective layer surrounding the Death Realm Orb was quickly drawn into his hand.
Buzz...
Without the protective layer, the Death Realm Orb instantly unleashed a much stronger power.
Fang Heng swiftly leaped backward to a safe distance.
Although the Vampire Apocalypse was a safe world, Fang Heng still chose to retract the protective net and store it in his backpack, just in case someone tried to steal it.
Besides, if there was ever another opportunity to go to the Holy Realm, he might need the shield to bring back the orb from there as well...
...
At the undead council headquarters.
The Death Realm Orb incident was a top-level secret.
Many of the higher-ups at the undead council only knew the name "Death Realm Orb."
As for the details, Fang Heng had only briefed the six highest-ranking council members present.
After hearing Fang Heng's report, the council fell into a brief silence.
With the acquisition of the Death Realm Orb, the undead council had removed the biggest burden from their hearts.
Even if the death realm were to be destroyed by the Disaster, at least their pursuit of God-level necromancy could continue.
Georgi broke the silence and nodded, "Fang Heng, well done. You've made a significant contribution. However, the Death Realm Orb is of immense importance, so the information must remain sealed."
"Yes, I agree. During this time, I plan to continue transporting key landmarks from the death realm and move as many of the death realm's original ecosystems as possible."
Fang Heng nodded in agreement.
The matter of the Death Realm Orb must remain confidential and low-profile to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
In addition, the death realm was vast and rich in resources, with many still yet to be moved. Taking advantage of the fact that the Holy Realm was still rebuilding its ruins and had no time to cause trouble, it was decided to move everything directly.
Move as much as possible!
"Yes, the undead council will also fully assist in transporting the materials from the death realm."
Georgi looked at Fang Heng, "Also, Fang Heng, due to your contribution to the undead faction, the council's high-level members have unanimously decided to grant you the qualification of a council member. From now on, you will be the seventh member of our undead council."
"This...
Fang Heng was taken aback.
There were only seven members in the entire undead council, including the president.
Could he really be one of them?
"Isn't this a bit too soon?"
"Fang Heng, you don't need to decline. Whether it's your contribution to the spread of necromancy or your own strength, you've already earned the qualification to become a council member. The only thing you lack is experience, and experience comes from more practice."
Georgi casually waved his hand and said, "The undead council is different from the outside. If we always follow seniority and age, the younger ones would never have a chance. This matter is settled."
[Hint: You have become a council member of the undead council.]
[Hint: You can now access some of the undead council's resources and qualify to enter the undead council's treasury.]
[Hint: As a council member, you can issue missions and make calls within the undead council.]
"Thank you for your trust, teachers."
Fang Heng glanced at the mission description and nodded lightly.
After becoming a council member, Fang Heng gained more access to various privileges.
He could now use the undead council's contribution points to exchange for items of any level, as well as spend contribution points to issue missions. As for calling upon others, that didn't require any points; it was purely based on personal connections and reputation.
"Also, Fang Heng," Georgi continued, "You've reached the God-level threshold in necromancy in under three years, advancing far too quickly. Your foundation is unstable, and your understanding of necromancy is still lacking. We believe that if you have the time, you should take a period of rest to calmly examine the power within you. This will be beneficial to your progress."
"Thank you for the guidance, teacher," Fang Heng nodded inwardly.
Georgi's words were not wrong. Fang Heng had been relying entirely on the abilities granted by his skills to fight, often overpowering enemies through sheer attributes. When facing opponents of the same level, he found it quite difficult to handle them.
At that moment, he had obtained the Death Realm Orb, but he still hadn't found the path to advance further in necromancy. The next part of the mission had yet to trigger.
He had been constantly fighting, with little time to calm down and properly focus on cultivation.
Indeed, he needed some time to sort things out.
It wasn't just the fusion of necromancy and vampires that needed organizing; even the advanced sacred study required some time to work through.
What if he could find some clues about further advancement?
"But I'm worried about the Disaster in the death realm."
"Well, the Disaster creatures were severely wounded, so they won't wake up so quickly. For now, leave the rest to us. It's about time we old bones got moving."
"Then I'll be relying on you, teachers."
