Chapter 636: The Crowded Eternal Portal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before the Grand Tournament ended, the empty, pitiful Buried City had already, in a way, regained its former glory—there were countless of players forming parties to guard the streets, defeating the endlessly re-spawning specters.

Yet, the morning after the Grand Tournament had ended, the Eternal Portal that was connected by ten mighty Eternal Corridors started to gleam with blinding lights, again and again. This was all because of a sudden surge of players appearing at the Tower of Hades.

They were all Tier 5 well-equipped players, walking through the Tower of Hades one by one to enter the Underworld. The blinding lights glared as these players flocked into the Underworld, shocking the other players who were walking by or those who had just entered the Buried City from the Mythical Continent.

These Tier 5 players weren’t hesitant to walk into the Tower of Hades after appearing out of the Eternal Portal too. They formed parties right after greeting each other warmly. There was an unnerving pride and fighting spirits in their smiles as they walked into the Tower of Hades.

This view reminded the other players, who were watching from afar or at the Eternal Portal, of one faction...

“The Fallen Angels!”

“Could it be that the words that whatever Winter Demon had said in the Mystical Sanctuary all be true?”

As they looked at the insignia on these Tier 5 players to confirm their identities, they also couldn’t help but recall whatever that had happened the night before in the Mystical Sanctuary. They couldn’t believe that there were players that could initiate Project Pioneer this early. And yet, they must believe it—it was happening right before their eyes.

In full ten minutes, the crowd, that suddenly appeared at the Eternal Portal, had all marched orderly into the Underworld. Every single one of them—tens of thousands of them had all entered the Underworld. This had never happened before.

Other than taking part in the Project Pioneer, what else could lead these Tier 5 players to enter the treacherous Underworld?

***

The news about the unusual occurrence in the Buried City and the Fallen Angels League’s initiating the Project Pioneer had spread far and wide across the Mythical Continent.

In just half an hour, there were crowds and crowds of people appearing in the Buried City. Every second there were over hundreds and thousands of players appearing from the Buried City’s Eternal Portal.

“Shit!”

“What the hell? There are so many people here! Hey, don’t push me!”

“What are you staring at me for? The portal was the one that tossed me in, okay? Do you think I want to push your ugly ass? If you’ve got time to stare at me, why don’t you squeeze out of this crowd quickly! Do you think I don’t dare to scold you because you’re a girl? Ouch... fuck... ah, alright. I’m sorry, bro. I see, so this girl here’s your girlfriend huh?”

“...”

“Shit, whose wings are these? Can’t you just fly away already? Fucking hell, man! Your wings had slapped my face! Show off!”

One player angrily pointed at the little white dot that flew several meters away and shouted.

“...”

“Damn! It’s just the Fallen Angels entering the Underworld to build a city. Do you all need to come down and see?”

“Aren’t you doing the same?”

“No... I’m just... I’m just doing reconnaissance here... ugh... oh man, come on man... let me go alright... I didn’t know you’re a Fallen Angel. Alright, alright... I’ll leave, okay?”

That one player that was surrounded by Fallen Angels quickly flung out a Return Scroll and fled.

“...”

“...”

“Wow, there are so many people here!”

The sight of the overcrowded Eternal Portal captivated a group of people who were hovering in the air with their Angelic Wings.

One of them was Qin Ruo, who was disguised as a Warrior. Seeing that the first phase of Project Pioneer was taking up so much time, he couldn’t help but frown.

‘This is too slow!’

This pace conflicted with his originally planned schedule—it had been an hour but only half of their men had successfully entered the Underworld. Luckily, the Summoners needed time to gather up all the League members that were all over the Underworld.

To ensure the success of this operation, Qin Ruo had asked all the other twenty-four clans of the Four Leagues of Angel Faction to “lend” him over five hundred Tier 5 Summoners, who were tasked to teleport the League members in the Underworld to the same spot.

***

Of course!

Qin Ruo didn’t need to use this method.

The Teleportation Seal that the Warrior of Endless Battle had given him could create a middle-size Warp Portal in just a few seconds. The Teleportation Seal would link the Warp Portal straight to the Moonrise City’s Warp Portal—so when he used that seal, anyone could enter the Underworld via Moonrise City.

Yet, Qin Ruo wanted to be vigilant. As soon as he used the seal, it meant the system would consider that the Project Pioneer had officially started. The first half an hour would be the time phase when all the artisans were transporting all the building materials through the portal. They would need to wait until all the artisans and building materials had gone through the portal before the players could walk through that portal.

Besides, Qin Ruo didn’t know how much would the Warp Portal be. If the crowd that entered through the Warp Portal was too huge, the effects of the Angelic Wings could spook all the specters in the area.

Qin Ruo could not foresee just how much impact would the specters cause to the construction site. He also couldn’t predict whether he would have time to organize his men to respond in time or whether they even had the time to line up a formation for a counter-attack.

Thus, to play safe, Qin Ruo decided to use the Teleportation Seal to instead transport his allies—Hall of Heroes, Black Prison League, and Scarlet Dynasty League.

After getting a foothold in the Underworld, the Fallen Angels would then ask for help from the other three Leagues.

***

“Little Qin, don’t worry! I know what to do. All the elites are prepared. We’ll march through the portal as soon as you open up that portal. You don’t even need to tell us, we’ll march right away for you!”

As Qin Ruo sent a private message to Majestic Hero, the latter replied with a smile, “It’s a valuable experience to us too. How could we refuse? This project requires 20 billion gold coins! I have faith in you.”

***

Black God was honest in his reply.

“Oh come on, I’ve given you my word in front of that many people yesterday. Do you think I’d just run away? Don’t you worry! We’ll be there! On time too! But...”

Suddenly his tone shifted.

“When I build my city, don’t you run away from me too.”

And Scarlet Bauhinia too fully supported the Fallen Angels.

Since the time Slayer’s Heart defeated Death Jesus in the Purge Tower and the Fallen Angels rising to the top in the Angel Faction, Scarlet Dynasty had now re-established their connection with the Bauhinia Clan.

Scarlet Bauhinia had given Violet Orchid and Slayer’s Heart his words that a hundred and seventy-six Winged Champions from Scarlet Dynasty were now standing by waiting for Qin Ruo’s call.

After receiving reaffirmation from these three, Qin Ruo was able to calm down. Flapping his Angelic Wings, he turned his eyes back onto the Eternal Portal.

It was then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

“Brother Qin, today’s my Grand Auction. I wanted to invite you and fellow brothers in your League to join me. But, you picked this time to build your city in the Underworld...”

Casanova’s voice sounded gloomy.

“You’re such a drag, you know that?”

“Heh!”

Qin Ruo replied with a smirk, ” The Grand Auction is open to anyone anytime during the day right? Don’t worry. When the Grand Auction starts, my brethren and I would find time to join you.”

“Alright alright.”

Casanova replied with a smile.

“I know you won’t disappoint me. Right, there’s still a bit of time before the Grand Auction starts. I’ll let you in on a secret.”

“Secret?”

Qin Ruo paused momentarily as he heard this. He had been thinking all about the Underworld, specters, Warp Portal since the launch of Project Pioneer; he had no time and energy to pay attention to other things. Thus, Qin Ruo and no clue as to what Casanova’s “secret” was.

However, as soon as Casanova revealed his secret, Qin Ruo was shocked.

“Demigod equipment?!”

The final item that would be on display in Casanova’s Trading Hall’s Grand Auction was a piece of Tier 6 Demigod equipment!

“How is that possible?!”

Qin Ruo was so shocked that he almost shouted out in the private chat, “To acquire such equipment, you’ll need to at least kill a Divine Miniboss! How did you do it?!”

Divine Miniboss...

That was a Tier 7 Miniboss!

Tier 7!! This was the fine line that separated men and gods. It didn’t matter if the Tier 7 creature was man or monster, its power was immensely and unthinkably strong!

The Tier 7 Miniboss possessed the strength and intelligence that surpassed that of a Tier 6 Elite Megaboss! In fact, it was not possible to predict just how strong a Tier 7 Boss was using the usual prediction formula.

And it was due to that, it was quite improbable for anyone to be able to acquire a piece of Demigod equipment before the Fallen Angels and reveal it to the other players of H&G!

“I know you wouldn’t believe me.”

Casanova laughed as he heard Qin Ruo’s reaction.

“I didn’t believe it myself too at first. Yet, this equipment that was brought by the guy is real! He knew he couldn’t advance to Tier 6 in such a short time so he wanted me to sell it out and the price he wanted? A minimum of 1 billion gold coins!”
