I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1730: Chapter 1731: Secret Chamber Chapter 1730: Chapter 1731: Secret Chamber Song Jian had by then completely mastered thirteen Powers of Law, with a rudimentary understanding of nine more. His comprehension mostly ranged between 7% and 15%, and there were many others that he had insights into but did not yet understand. These Powers of Law were mostly around sixty to seventy percent understood; once they reached one hundred percent, he would successfully comprehend them and could use the Main Deity’s seat to improve proficiency.

At this point, the Space Law that Song Jian mastered had improved to 37%. One could say that the Main Deity’s Seat was simply a divine tool. For deities, as long as one comprehended the Power of Law, with time one could accumulate it to 100%. No wonder those deities would go to such lengths for a godly position in the Pantheon, fighting till their heads broke if necessary.

“With this in mind, I absolutely can’t let those aliens get the Bloody Warhammer, storm the Mount of Gods, and destroy the Pantheon!” Song Jian muttered to himself.

The matter of the Alien Blood Sacrifice Summoning the Bloody Warhammer was of utmost importance for the deities, but actually only the three hundred or so deities in the Pantheon were particularly concerned. Other deities without a divine position, some with darker mentalities, even wished for the aliens to ascend Mount of Gods and utterly demolish the Pantheon.

If I can’t have it, neither can anyone else!

Regrettably, only eight Main God Level powerhouses had entered the Luofu Divine Palace area, with other True God Level powerhouses still fighting the alien armies in the Divine World. The alien powerhouses who entered the Luofu Divine Palace region numbered fifty to sixty, but at least half were from the Legendary Realm. The True God Level and Main God Level powerhouses were not as numerous as imagined.

Song Jian looked around the top-floor hall, which apart from the scattered pieces of mysterious ice, contained the task item, the Foundation Gemstone for Array Formation, glowing with a white light. These gemstones cannot be taken out of this hall; they must remain here for players as the items necessary for leaving the place. It’s just unknown how many players with just Legendary Realm strength can reach this place without assistance from a god-level powerhouse.

Just as Song Jian was preparing to leave, he suddenly heard a burst of cheering from outside the hall.

“This is it, the task items we need and that secret room are all in this hall, hahaha, we’ve struck it rich, we’ve struck it rich! This is the Luofu Divine Palace, any item we obtain here can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of Amethyst Coins!” An extremely excited voice came through the bronze doors and entered, making Song Jian frown slightly.

“Who would have thought that players actually reached the top floor of the Luofu Divine Palace on their own…” Song Jian shook his head and whispered to himself.

You should know that the area of Luofu Divine Palace is exceedingly dangerous; even monsters from the Legendary Realm struggle to survive outside, and the palace itself is filled with ghostly entities. It’s not just the powerhouses from the Legendary Realm, but even those of the True God Level and Main God Level could easily fall if they are not careful in this place!

Song Jian had believed it impossible for players of the Legendary Realm to complete the task and leave, so moved by compassion, he had abandoned his task to escort four players to the top floor, helping them complete their mission and leave. He hadn’t expected to underestimate these players, who really managed to fight their way to the top floor of Luofu Divine Palace and were about to complete their task!

Boom! A rumbling sound erupted as several players burst into the hall, excited. Upon seeing Song Jian, they all paused, not expecting to encounter anyone else here.

“Is it an NPC or a player?” A girl asked timidly, tugging at the corner of another girl’s clothes and speaking in a low voice.

“A player. But he’s very strong; the level is a golden skeleton!” An older girl nearby, her eyes emitting a blue light, scrutinized him.

Song Jian’s brows knitted slightly; he could sense the malice emanating from the girl’s eyes. This was an almost universal problem with all sensory probing abilities – the observed would always feel this way.

“Hasn’t anyone taught you not to casually use probing abilities on others?” Song Jian frowned slightly, staring at the girl with some displeasure.

“Ah, sorry, I forgot!” Yin Qiao stuck out her tongue, apologizing awkwardly.

Song Jian: “…”

In many instances, girls have certain privileges. If a boy dared to directly use a probing skill to inspect Song Jian’s attributes, Song Jian would probably, without a second word, slap him right across the face. As for whether the other party would survive a strike from a Main God Level powerhouse, that depended entirely on their own fortune.

But when a girl, even if slightly offensive, quickly followed up with an apology in an endearing manner, of course, Song Jian wouldn’t do anything to her. Otherwise, he would be seen as petty, narrow-minded, not manly…

“You’re also here searching for Foundation Gemstones for Array Formation, right? They’re all over the place here. Just take some and leave quickly. This place is very dangerous. A great battle might break out soon, so it’s best for you to leave as soon as possible,” Song Jian glanced over the group and said.

Song Jian strode towards the exit of the great hall, while the Puppet Armor followed closely behind him. The others rushed towards the gemstones scattered on the ground.

“Wow, there are so many quest items here. Let’s look for the secret room first. If we pick up the quest items, I’m afraid they’ll teleport us out immediately!”

“Yes, yes, search for the secret room first, the secret room!”

“Hehe, such a terrifying place is sure to have good stuff hidden in its secret room!”

…

Watching these players rush to the gemstones and then scatter to search for the so-called secret room after a mere glance, Song Jian couldn’t help but feel speechless.

“As expected, ‘for wealth, people die; for food, birds perish’…” Song Jian shook his head and prepared to leave the hall.

Just then, one of the players suddenly shouted out loud.

“Here, over here, I’ve found the secret room… Ah, how come it needs a key to open! What do we do, where can we find the key?!”

“What, it requires a key to open? Damn it, that ghost tricked us!”

“Hmph, I knew that ghost didn’t look trustworthy; he just gave us this quest to save his own skin. What do we do now? I don’t want to look for some key in such a dangerous place, I’m leaving!”

“Forget it, I’m leaving too. This place is too dangerous. For all we know, the key might be on the BOSS, and even the lesser monsters here are beyond us, let alone the BOSS. Scatter, scatter, this quest is a scam!”

…

The players, dejected, each picked up a Foundation Gemstone for Array Formation and then disappeared in a flash of white light. Meanwhile, Song Jian stood at the entrance of the great hall with an odd expression on his face. After a moment, he slowly turned around, looked at the empty hall, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
