Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 280 The conspiracy of the sleepless! (two in one) (5400 monthly tickets plus more in May)

The strength and number of the strong ones present a pyramid structure.

The more powerful the creature, the fewer there are.

Even the Sky Stairs are no exception to this.

Qin Chuan fought his way through the S-level copy passage, and only encountered a few opponents who had barely reached the legendary level. He never encountered a powerful existence like the Death Demon at the Bottom of the Lake again.

In the end, with the help of the sundial's second talent, the core of the channel was successfully found, and this much-anticipated S-level channel was completely destroyed in Qin Chuan's hands.

At the moment the entrance to the copy passage collapsed, Qin Chuan clearly heard the cheers of countless people in the entire city.

But for him, it may not be over yet.

Qin Chuan recalled the expression of the dead demon at the bottom of the lake before he killed him, and for some reason, a heavy and ominous feeling emerged in his heart.

He always felt that this S-level copy channel would bring more than just the immediate disaster.

Qin Chuan landed slowly on the ground, as if realizing something, and glanced at Zephina who had been revived with full health.

While he was destroying the passage, the other party regained consciousness and struggled to enter the passage again.

Then, the opponent's injuries recovered instantly.

When Qin Chuan saw Olierga, who possessed the power of No Trace, traveling together with Zefina, he guessed that Zefina might be the Escape Planner who had never appeared.

Now, the power displayed by the other party has confirmed this speculation.

Recovering all injuries and strength every five minutes is indeed a magical talent effect.

I don't know what the other two talent effects of avoiding disease are.

Qin Chuan then looked at the brown-haired girl next to Zefina.

The other person's deer-like green eyes were full of mischief, and more importantly, every time they glanced at him, he would quickly avoid it, as if he was guilty of something.

"Olilga?" There was a hint of amusement in Qin Chuan's eyes.

"Ah?!" The brown-haired girl's expression suddenly became horrified. "What Olga? I don't know!"

Zefina couldn't help but hold her forehead.

Isn’t this self-inflicted?

Qin Chuan was speechless, and looked at Zefina again, his expression slightly more serious, "I suspect there will be more follow-up to the S-level copy channel. You'd better stay vigilant in the near future."

"Is there a follow-up?" Zefina's expression tensed. "Okay."

She was just about to say something, such as thanking Qin Chuan and Yanhuang Kingdom for their support on behalf of the British Empire, but she saw the young man in front of her take out a beautiful pendant and shake it.

The pendant flickered with light, and the next moment the boy disappeared from the spot.

"Huh~" Olga patted her chest, her proud bust undulating, attracting attention, "Fortunately, fortunately, I'm alive."

Zefina couldn't help but hit Olga on the head.

"Idiot, he had no intention of attacking you."

The Yanhuang Kingdom, Yan University.

On the shore of Weiming Lake, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue sat side by side on a public chair, looking at the beautiful lake view in front of them and talking in low voices.

"So, the opponent you faced this time was someone you knew before?" Lin Yue looked at Qin Chuan with a smile on her lips, "I didn't realize that you are quite popular in the other world."

"I don't want to have such popularity." Qin Chuan shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Anyway, the lake bottom demon is really dead this time."

“I don’t know if he will have the possibility of appearing in the future like Dalaisay and Dalai.”

"There should be some differences between creatures affected by the ominous influence and normal creatures."

"Whether there will be or not, that's a matter for the future." Lin Yue held Qin Chuan's hand, "You just said that you think the S-level dungeon channel may have some influence that you haven't discovered?"

"Yeah." Qin Chuan nodded, "It's mainly because the expression of the dead demon at the bottom of the lake before I killed it was too weird, which made me feel that things were not that simple."

"Is that so..." Lin Yue showed a thoughtful look, "The Lake Bottom Death Demon once appeared outside the C-level dungeon channel, but now it has appeared in the S-level dungeon channel."

“And it appeared very quickly.”

"This means that the other party has long been eyeing the dungeon channel and is trying to descend into reality."

"In this case, it does seem a bit too easy for you to kill the Death Demon at the bottom of the lake and destroy the passage so easily."

"You know, Dalaisai knew how to use some tricks to escape when he was defeated by you, and then he would recover to his peak and attack again. I don't believe that the Lake Bottom Death Demon has no tricks at all."

Qin Chuan frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Sure enough, Lin Yue had the same idea as him.

There must be something wrong with the S-level copy channel.

But Qin Chuan still hasn't figured out where the problem lies.

"Tell me more about your previous strategy for the Screaming Demon Lake." Lin Yue leaned on Qin Chuan's shoulder and said softly, "With one more person, we can always gain something new."

"Okay." Qin Chuan nodded, and after a brief recollection, he narrated the entire process of his encounter with the dead demon Kasakaban at the bottom of the Screaming Demon Lake and how he completed the strategy.

After patiently listening to Qin Chuan's story, Lin Yue asked softly, "Has the crystal core of the death demon at the bottom of the lake been destroyed?"

"Yes, I can be sure of that." Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

The ability to stop time can absolutely suppress the ominous aura.

Qin Chuan had used this method to eliminate ominous auras more than once before.

"Then there is only one possibility." Lin Yue moved her head away from Qin Chuan's shoulder and looked at him with a slightly serious expression, "We have overlooked a key person."

"That person might be the leader of the Ghost Clan who caused the birth of the Death Demon at the bottom of the lake."

Qin Chuan's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression quickly became solemn. He took a deep breath and slowly uttered the name that only appeared once in the fragments of the secret history of Masiso Territory.

"Sfengard the Sleepless."

"Zefina, I'm going back first."

Olga crossed her arms and looked at Zephina who was training with a long sword in the vast indoor training ground. She sighed softly, "I feel bad for you for working so hard."

Zefina thrust the sword in her hand out instantly, piercing through the many vital parts of the dummy in front of her, "If it really hurts, you can practice with me."

"Forget it, I suddenly feel that my heart doesn't hurt so much." Olga put one hand on her chest until her five white fingers, as white as peeled onions, sank into the large piece of soft flesh, and smiled, "After all, I can't touch it."

Zefina: "...get out."

"Okay, okay." Olga patted her butt, turned around and walked out of the training ground.

Zefina was the only one left on the huge training ground.

This was originally the exclusive training ground prepared for her, the strongest person in the British Empire.

Calming down, Zefina once again raised her sword and practiced an exquisite sword technique alone in the training ground.

After a moment, Zefina slowly put down her sword.

"There's still a lot to be done."

She spoke softly, with unspeakable regret in her eyes. Although the S-level copy channel was finally resolved.

But she didn't play much of a role in the process.

Whether it's the dead demon at the bottom of the lake or Luo, the difference in strength between them is like heaven and earth.

"Do you... desire power?"

A voice emerged in Zefina's mind, as if it had some kind of magical power, making Zefina instinctively trust and feel close to it.

"I want to become stronger." She muttered subconsciously.

"Becoming stronger is the easiest thing." The voice was smiling. "I can sense that the target you want to surpass is the player named Luo."

"I can help you."

"It only takes one month, no, half a month, for you to have a stronger power than him."

"How can I obtain such power?" Zefina asked subconsciously.

If someone was in the training ground at this moment, they would notice that the light in Zefina's eyes was slowly dimming.

However, she herself did not realize it.

"Child, it's very simple." The voice was soothing and comforting, "I think you should know the Sky Steps."

"Then do you know what the relationship is between the dream world and the Sky Steps?"

"What's the relationship?" Zefina asked slightly faster, her attention completely attracted by what the voice said.

"The dream world is the lowest level of the Sky Steps, and it is also a part of the Sky Steps." The mysterious voice was accompanied by a hint of laughter, "The Sky Steps is a more powerful dream world."

"How could it be..." Zefina couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"It's normal for you to have doubts, but my child, think about it carefully." The mysterious voice softened a little, "After the dungeon arrived and the dungeon channel was formed, did your dungeon talent become a player talent again?"

"The dungeon channel is the channel that connects the real world and the Sky Steps. It is a part of the Sky Steps, and the player's talent is a power that only exists in the dream world."

"Haven't you ever thought about the rationality of this?"

Zefina felt her heart tremble, as if thunder had passed through her mind.

"Child, think about it, where does your extraordinary power come from?" the mysterious voice said in a coaxing manner.

"Dream world." Zefina spoke subconsciously.

"Yes, the extraordinary power comes from the dream world." The mysterious voice smiled a little more, "If that's the case, why can't it come directly from the Sky Steps?"

"If your power comes from the Sky Steps, then how can others, with their power from the dream world, compete with you?"

"Whether it's Luo or anyone else, they will be easily surpassed by you."

"You will have immense power."

"I..." Zefina's voice was filled with desire and expectation, "What should I do?"

"You need to touch the Sky Steps and draw strength from them." The mysterious voice spoke softly, "At the moment, the only way for you to touch the Sky Steps is through the dungeon passage."

"As long as you enter the dungeon channel, I can help you absorb new power."

"Believe me, that great power is enough to make you understand the true meaning of strength."

"I understand. All I need to do is participate in more tasks of destroying copy channels to become stronger?" Zefina's voice was full of excitement.

"Hmm..." The mysterious voice paused, "I guess so."

At the same time, in a farmer's home in the country where the sun never sets, a middle-aged farmer's eyes were filled with strange black flames, and he muttered to himself, "It's really not that easy to deceive the natives of a world to open a dungeon passage."

"But it doesn't matter. Rapidly increasing strength is addictive." The middle-aged farmer smiled playfully, "Just be patient and wait."

"Just one isn't enough insurance, we need more."

"Letting the ominous breath fill a new material world is the highest respect that I, the devout believer Sphingard, pay to the omniscient and omnipotent Great Ominous."

The black flames went out, and the middle-aged farmer looked around as if waking from a dream. He couldn't help but mutter, "Strange, wasn't I plowing the fields outside? When did I come into the house?"

Tens of thousands of meters away from the farmers, a woman standing on the street in bold clothes suddenly stopped posing and stood up straight. The man who was flirting with her grabbed her.

"Hey, it's not like I can't afford the money, so why don't you leave?"

The woman turned her head to look at the man, black flames rose in her eyes for a moment, and the man's eyes instantly lost their life. He followed the woman woodenly, crossed the street and disappeared.

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory did not find any abnormal energy fluctuations or changes within the territory of the British Empire."

On the other end of the phone, Feng Yin spoke calmly, "Regarding what you mentioned, there may be another creature suspected to be of Legendary or even Mythical rank descending in the S-rank dungeon channel. We will take it seriously and strengthen the monitoring of the Imperial Observatory in the near future."

"No matter what they want to do, I think their ultimate purpose of coming to Blue Star is to seize the power of Blue Star, just like what Dalaisai did before."

"That formation that can grab power makes a lot of noise. As long as there are any clues, the Imperial Observatory will be able to discover it immediately and we can respond in time."

"That's good." Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. "If possible, I hope this is just my illusion."

"Whether it's an illusion or not, it's always right to be cautious." Feng Yin paused, "Besides, we will definitely give full consideration to your opinion."

"Thank you." Qin Chuan and Feng Yin said a few more words and then hung up the phone.

"Didn't you notice anything?" Lin Yue held Qin Chuan's hand and spoke softly.

"Yeah." Qin Chuan nodded.

After Lin Yue reminded him of the Sleepless Sfengard whom he had almost forgotten, Qin Chuan did not hesitate and immediately notified the Special Affairs Group, hoping to use the power of the Imperial Observatory to determine whether there were any missed adventers.

The Imperial Observatory hadn't discovered anything yet, and he felt a little relieved.

"Maybe we are just too suspicious." Qin Chuan smiled.

"It would be best if everything is normal." Lin Yue said softly, glanced at the time, and then clicked on the copy list, "The SS-level copy has been refreshed."

"Hmm?" Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Are you finally here?"

He clicked on the copy list without hesitation and soon saw the first copy.

[Dungeon: Kalitli Shrine (SS)] [Playable]

[Recommended player level: Epic]

[Limited number of people: 2]

[Horizontal difficulty rating: ★★]

[Remaining time for the copy: 71:59:42]

"It is recommended that the player's level be the same as that of the S-level dungeon." Lin Yue said softly, "So, the dungeon boss's strength is still at the legendary level?"

"It's possible." Qin Chuan nodded, looking at the copy name, his expression slightly serious.

Temple of the Gods…

It doesn't sound easy.

"Let's go and see an SS-level copy."
