Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1383 - 30: Rise of the Fourth Calamity (Part 3)

They looked at the towering stone gate in front of them and then glanced at the couplet overhead, exchanging smiles.

"Old Tongtian certainly loves to keep things mysterious," Sun Xiaotian said, reaching out to push the door directly.

Just at the moment when his hand touched the surface of the stone gate—

Buzz!

A complex array of golden runes illuminated on the surface of the stone gate, entwining like chains. The runes seemed to be verifying something and vanished suddenly after three flashes.

In the next instant, the stone gate, as heavy as a mountain, emitted a low rumble and slowly opened inward, revealing a vast and majestic hall behind it.

"Hehe, it was indeed prepared for us," Sun Xiaotian said with a pleased grin, stepping in first.

Zhao Yu and Li Xiaoyi followed closely behind.

Xiao Jie and the other three exchanged glances and entered as well.

Inside was an incredibly grand hall, nearly a hundred feet high and over a thousand feet wide. The dome was a naturally formed rock vault, inlaid with countless glowing crystals, arranged like stars, emitting gentle light illuminating the entire hall. The floor was paved with smooth white jade bricks, with patterns of clouds flowing naturally, creating the illusion of walking on clouds.

But the most noticeable feature was the peculiar layout of the hall—

The center of the hall left a large circular space about thirty feet in diameter, the ground made of dark golden metal, carved with complex formation runes, with a central groove seemingly designed to hold something.

And on the front wall of the hall, there was a whole blank expanse, smooth as a mirror, sharply contrasting with the surrounding rocky wall, as if waiting for something to be hung.

At this moment, players also followed inside, marveling at the scene within the door.

So this is what it looks like inside the stone gate...

Emperor Shitian saw that almost everyone had arrived, and immediately stepped onto the jade steps, turning to face everyone, loudly announcing, "Everyone! Please gather around and listen to me!"

The voice echoed through the hall, naturally amplifying.

As the Alliance Leader of the Savior Alliance and the commander of this South Heavenly Gate operation, Emperor Shitian carried authority. At this moment, players gradually quieted down, focusing their attention on Emperor Shitian.

This made Emperor Shitian faintly feel as if the celestial fortunes surrounding others began subtly shifting toward him.

Suppressing his excitement, he calmly said, "This time, our campaign against the Nine Heavens Divine Court was costly, and the battle at the Sealing God Pillar nearly wiped us out..." His tone was somber, but then he shifted, "Yet we are not without gains! On the contrary—we have successfully found the true path to salvation!"

He stepped aside, pointing to the Three Demons behind him: "Everyone, please look! These three are the key figures left behind by Tongtian Saint for salvation!"

All eyes fell simultaneously upon the Three Demons.

"In their hands, they hold three innate treasures born at the dawn of the world—Qiankun Map, Chaos Pearl, Four Symbols Divine Cauldron!" Emperor Shitian’s voice suddenly grew passionate, "These three treasures possess supreme power to replay the earth, water, wind, fire and recreate the universe! As long as we gather enough ’Power of Saint’ to activate them, we can create a new world full of vitality on this wasteland!"

He paused, surveying the group: "And to obtain ’Power of Saint’, what we need to do is continuously advance our cultivation to Daluo Golden Immortal, and then—team up to challenge the ’Saint Dungeon’, defeat the ’Demon Lord’ incarnated by the Saint, and collect ’Saint Fragments’!"

"As long as we are strong enough, gathering dozens, hundreds of Daluo Golden Immortals, forming a big array, performing divine skills, we just might conquer the Demon Lord and seize the Power of Saint!"

"By then, recreating the universe and saving the world, each of us—will be heroes in opening a new era! Whether to remain in this world as Daluo Golden Immortals and enjoy the Tao Fruit or return to our own worlds as masters, isn’t it marvelous and splendid?

However, to achieve this, everyone must unite and go all out, otherwise not only failing to save, but if procrastinated until the Barrier of Embers City is completely breached, it will be our doom.

Is it to boldly advance, accomplish great feats, or lay flat and wait for death, I believe everyone knows the choice."

Listening to Emperor Shitian’s persuasion and coercion, players’ reactions varied.

Some were thrilled, eyes sparkled with determination: "Recreate the universe? Open a new era? Now, this is what playing a game is all about!"

"Daluo Golden Immortal... I’m just an Earth Immortal now, it feels so distant. But since there’s hope, we must try!"

But more were skeptical and hesitant.

"What kind of innate treasures are so powerful? Are we being duped?"

"Exactly, I didn’t cultivate immortality with such difficulty to give up my life for nothing."

"Emperor Shitian, you speak lightly, ordinary monsters may not be daunting, but what if we encounter special ones like Void Demon, Immortal Puppet, what if we perish? Immortal lives matter too."

"Indeed! Plenty of immortals have died before."

Emperor Shitian looked at the crowd’s agitation but seemed prepared.

He turned around, respectfully addressing the Three Demons: "Masters, could you present the three innate treasures to open everyone’s eyes? This would also prove we are not speaking empty words but have real reliance."

On one hand, he aimed to convince the players, on the other, he himself wished to see the true quality of these innate treasures.
