Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1209 - 542: Tomb of the Tyrant in the Ninth Difficulty Zone, Origin Dragon God Palace_2
It is highly unusual for an Apostle to possess a different Soul Talent and Soul Power.
There are two guesses that Lin Xun has about this.
First, the powers of Apostles are bestowed by the Book of Salvation.
The Book of Salvation holds many Authorities, and according to the match of an Apostle’s soul, it bestows different Power Seeds, thus forming Soul Talents and the Powers after promotion.
Second, the world he is in itself has unique characteristics that the creatures and souls born within have that others worlds lack.
The Talents and Powers are not given by the Book of Salvation; instead, the Book acts as a guide that helps Apostles develop the Innate Powers they are born with.
Compared to the first conjecture, Lin Xun leans more towards the second.
This is because his ’Chaos Ability’ is the best proof to overturn the first conjecture.
If the ’Chaos Ability’ were also given by the Book of Salvation, he would not be able to conceal his activities from the Book’s gaze, and the final summary scene of the last Chapter in the Omniscient World would not have ended with ’the intrinsic conclusion of the Trinity God of World Destruction’.
Moreover, if the ’Chaos Ability’ was one of the many Authorities of the Book of Salvation, it would mean that starting with this Ability, there is no possibility of Transcendence...
Otherwise, the Book of Salvation would have already achieved Transcendence. Why would it bother gathering Apostles to do its bidding?
The Knowledge god servant has a different opinion, believing that the correct answer might be a combination of both. As for the actual situation, one has to wait until Omniscience fully deciphers the Book of Salvation to get the answer.
One day later, the Dragon Watching Platform was successfully constructed.
[...]
[The ’Dragon Watching Platform’ in front of you is an altar-like peculiar structure, with the altar’s floor paved in five-colored soil and surrounded by a lifelike stone dragon, its head raised in a roar into the sky.]
[You brought the White Elephant Demon to the center of the ’Dragon Watching Platform’...]
[The Dragon Clan bloodline within you is bubbling and surging!]
[You have the qualification to use the ’Dragon Watching Platform’ for teleportation, and you may now teleport to other existing ’Dragon Watching Platforms’.]
[Where would you like to teleport to?]
[1. Xinde Country - Tomb of the Tyrant (main teleportation point)]
[2. Origin Dragon God Palace (branch teleportation point)]
"What is this?"
Lin Xun’s pupils shrank, realizing there was another teleportation point in addition to the Origin Dragon God Palace!
From the previously obtained information, Xinde Country was established by the descendants of the Western Divine Buddha Clan west of Vermilion, across the boundless desert, and through thousands of miles of Gobi to reach Xinde Country.
Xinde Country also belongs to the regions of The Great Thousand World, hence the ’main teleportation point’ labeled after the option.
As for Ba Xia, he is one of the direct descendants of the Dragon Sons and is among those with the strongest combat power, on the same tier as Yi Zhai.
According to the records on the Stele for Suppression of the Dragon, among the top four ranked Dragon Sons, Yi Zhai and Taotie were the two most frequently involved in the wars against the gods, and if nothing went wrong, both were likely to have already died, with much of their power erased from their incomplete remains by the Demon Suppression Stele.
As for the other two, the Dragon Son Kirin and Ba Xia, the records on the Stele are not detailed, and their fates unknown.
"Tomb of the Tyrant..."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xun chose the option.
[Please note, ’Xinde Country - Tomb of the Tyrant’ is a difficulty zone for Chapter 9!]
[Warning! Xinde Country is the canonical area for subsequent Chapters of this volume. The monsters’ level and strength in this area will significantly exceed the difficulty range of this Chapter!]
[If you officially enter the canonical area of Chapter 9, the overall difficulty of this Chapter will be raised to the ninth level of difficulty, including the region of Vermilion Country in Chapter eight!]
[If you do not wish to challenge across different levels of difficulty, please do not proceed to that area!]
Entering Xinde Country, unlike accessing the hidden area ’Western Paradise’ in Chapter 9, belongs to the standard area of Chapter 9.
Once entering the region of Xinde Country, the Underworld Game will count it as challenging across difficulties, thus raising the overall strength of Chapter monsters, even raising the Vermilion Country Area from Chapter eight as well.
This so-called ninth Chapter difficulty is probably the actual strength of the monsters in the Evil God World.
The Underworld Game will no longer use Authority Powers to suppress the projected strength of monsters, allowing them to display their true power along with the multitude of gods and Buddhas.
Lin Xun’s eyes flickered with dense characters as he considered carefully then shook his head, giving up the impulsive urge for adventure.
Facing the gaze of the Evil God and the host of gods and Buddhas was already a challenge, and increasing the difficulty would make it not just hard to achieve a high rating, but even reaching the basic goal of passing the Chapter could become very difficult.
Most importantly, the prospects of adventure were not in proportion to the risks involved.
That a Dragon Watching Platform existed in the Tomb of the Tyrant revealed much hidden information.
There is no Dragon Watching Platform within the eighth Chapter area; one must dig deep into the game to find the hidden method of construction to travel to the Origin Dragon God Palace.
However, within the ninth Chapter’s area, there is a Dragon Watching Platform that can transport to the Origin Dragon God Palace.
This indicates that the voyage to the Origin Dragon God Palace is part of the ninth difficulty’s storyline, and the Origin Dragon God Palace is likely the hidden area for that difficulty level.
The Tomb of the Tyrant, being a transit point to the hidden area, can one expect rewards like items?
The answer is affirmative, but those rewards are unlikely to be substantial since the main rewards are certainly concentrated in the subsequent hidden map of the ’Origin Dragon God Palace’.
Given the nature of the gods and Buddhas, even if the Tomb of the Tyrant has the remains of a Dragon Son, it’s likely, like with Yi Zhai at the Stele for Suppression of the Dragon place, that it’s just a ’Dragon Tail Slough’ or something like a dragon claw or Dragon Head Slough.
