Apotheosis

It had always been difficult for a newcomer to gain a firm foothold in the Grand Plain Stage.

The powerful masters that had built the Other Shore had considered this problem and as a solution, had provided a protection period of a chaotic era for the new creatures from the chaos.

The new races were often able to gain a firm foothold after a chaotic era had passed.

While this kind of protection only lasted for a chaotic era, this was enough for the new races to develop and grow.

Even when facing the Element Spirit race and the Nihility race, a number of Other Shore races were able to protect themselves by using the many rules of the Grand Plain Stage that were in place to protect the weak.

"I'll choose this Chill Rope!"

Libby jumped back and forth before she spotted a long, thin rope.

Athemar smiled faintly as he remarked, "You have really good sight, Libby. This Chill Rope will be of great help to you if you can use it properly."

Most Other Shore Tokens in the lower stages of the Other Shore were of the strengthening type and the auxiliary type. But the ones in the higher stages of the Other Shore were more of the mysterious type.

All the Other Shore Tokens of the mysterious type functioned in weird, mysterious ways, which was probably what gave them their name.

This didn't mean that they were powerful. Some weird functions were of little value, but some others were extremely powerful, like the one Libby had chosen.

Once used, the Chill Rope could automatically track the opponents and effectively trap them.

This trap wouldn't cause their opponents to become immobile. Instead, their locations would begin to be recorded.

The most important detail was that if Libby were to inflict hurt on an opponent, the rope would triple the damage at the very least.

This meant that if Libby were to attack the opponent with her sword that contained twenty thousand divine megatons of force, her opponent would have to bear an attack of sixty thousand divine megatons of force. In a battle between powerful warriors of the Holy Soul Realm, such a powerful sword strike was fatal.

If Libby had been stronger, her sword strike could have contained close to one hundred thousand divine megatons of force, which was enough to contend with even a powerful warrior of the Eternal Realm.

"Zen, are you really not going to choose an Other Shore Token?" Athemar looked questioningly at Zen, a small smile playing on his lips. "Or is it that

the stone forest. And now, Winchell is trying to keep everyone sane enough to struggle to hold on!" Harland reported anxiously.

"Why didn't you seal the painting?" Auden asked reproachfully.

"I know we were careless. There has been no conflict in Stage Thirty-two of the Other Shore for a long time and we didn't expect them to make a move this time either," said Harland, shaking his head.

The second volume of the Eternal Scroll Painting was divided into a number of regions, with no way to pass between them.

For example, the temple of the Oneness Sky Palace was one region, and beside it was a region belonging to another race on the Other Shore. If one wanted to enter the region of that Other Shore race, they would first have to retreat from the region where the temple of the Oneness Sky Palace was located.

After entering a region, one could temporarily seal the region.

Once a region was sealed, no one could enter it by using a Light Stone to release the light. This operation was known as "sealing the painting".

The price of sealing the painting was extremely high. Even though the Oneness Sky Palace had been operating in Stage Thirty-two of the Other Shore for so long, they would still hesitate to use this method.

Winchell and the others had thought that it wouldn't be difficult to get a Heavy Stone.

But the moment they entered the stone forest, a number of ferocious beasts rushed at them in attack.

"So many seniors are trapped. What should we do?" Libby exclaimed anxiously.

Pearce frowned as he thought. He finally seemed to come to a temporary solution and said, "Let's go to the stone forest first."
