Chapter 1001 - 418: Purification of the Surface_3
"The final mystical ceremony he broke through involved the power of divinity. It seemed effortless when he broke through, but he had actually reached his limit. His infiltration was discovered by the Bright Society, and they will certainly upgrade the ceremony. It won’t be so easy for him to enter again."
Wu Chang nodded slightly after hearing this. Kuafu and Hercules chasing Xu Dejun indicates that the Bright Society already knows someone infiltrated them, and there will definitely be increased safeguards afterward.
If the King of Stealth Xu Dejun mentioned used all his strength to break through last time’s multi-layer blockade, attempting to infiltrate again might not only fail but also lead to capture by the Bright Society.
Shi Ning’s gaze turned to the box in Wu Chang’s hand, and he said:
"Based on the restrictive runes he captured, I created this Item, which I call the ’Divine Rune Decipherer.’ It can create loopholes to a certain extent, aiding infiltrators in smoothly passing through security blockades."
"It contains a sub-machine. When releasing the Faith Virus, place the sub-machine around the altar, and I can further determine their plan through the Bright Society’s layout."
Surprise flashed in Wu Chang’s eyes as he looked at Shi Ning, and he thought to himself that this young Xia Country scholar, who has been highly popular in recent years, seems to have some remarkable skills.
Not only is Shi Ning one of the designers of the Faith Virus, but he can also create the corresponding ’Divine Rune Decipherer’ based solely on portions of footage targeting the restrictions set by the Bright Society.
No wonder he is just a researcher in the Desolate Realm, yet he possesses Traveler Level privileges.
Within the Management Bureau, the hierarchy is clearly defined. Members are divided into six levels: Combatant, Explorer, Investigator, Executor, Wanderer, and Tuner, ranging from low to high, with each major level subdivided into three minor levels.
When Sword Star once explained the Management Bureau’s level division to Wu Chang, he mentioned Shi Ning, while in the Desolate Realm, is treated with Traveler Level status.
Wu Chang didn’t think much of it at the time, but looking back now, he finds it unusual.
In general, the max privilege level corresponds to the Abyss level members are situated in.
For example, even Cold Mountain, ranked first in the Desolate Realm’s power list, and Hou Jingchuan, head of the Desolate Realm Administration Bureau, have reached the pinnacle within the Bureau, yet their overt privilege level remains as Level 1 Investigator.
To continue advancing, one must enter the Realm of Reason.
For example, Gu Feng, who guards the Pillar of the Present World, is a Level 3 Executor, and Xu Dejun, who joined during the first Management Bureau creation, has such absurd seniority yet is only a Level 1 Executor.
Analysing based on strength, reaching the Traveler Level requires at least reaching the apex of the Realm of Reason and awakening divinity.
Shi Ning, as a member of the Desolate Realm, possessing Traveler Level privileges, clearly indicates his extraordinariness.
Wu Chang glanced twice at Shi Ning. Because Shi Ning was so easy to talk to, he had always overlooked what a significant figure Shi Ning actually was.
He put away the ’Divine Rune Decipherer’ and said, "I will bring him along."
After exiting the Management Bureau, Wu Chang immediately took out the All-Knowing Crystal to appraise the ’Divine Rune Decipherer.’
After a brief analysis by the All-Knowing Crystal, the conclusion was that Shi Ning wasn’t exaggerating; the ’Divine Rune Decipherer’ can indeed break through god-level mystical ceremonies.
Wu Chang had the All-Knowing Crystal record the internal structure of the ’Divine Rune Decipherer.’ As he pondered the profound mystical runes output by the All-Knowing Crystal, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Being able to design the ’Divine Rune Decipherer’ demonstrates Shi Ning’s mystical knowledge, which has reached Divine Level, surpassing his own Power of Mystical Root Source.
Even after his practice at the Midnight Cemetery, where he somewhat broke through the mystical realm, he has just stepped halfway into Lord Level, still quite a distance from Divine Level.
Not to mention where Shi Ning acquired his mystical abilities or why Shi Ning with divine-level mysticism remains in the Desolate Realm.
Earlier, he noticed the Painter feared Joy and didn’t dare ascend due to having ruined things for the Bright Society, thinking the Painter was the Desolate Realm’s top coward, the king of cowards. He didn’t expect another expert.
However, what he couldn’t comprehend was that while Shi Ning’s skills were genuine, he didn’t sense any Power of Root or aura of divinity from Shi Ning.
The Power of Root might be hidden, but if Shi Ning had divinity within him, it couldn’t escape the notice of his Blasphemer Title.
Wu Chang was curious about what secret Shi Ning might be hiding and more curious about why Shi Ning chose this moment to reveal part of his secret.
What caused him to stop concealing it?
After the World Dungeon concludes and matters of the Bright Society are settled, perhaps he should find an opportunity to have a chat with Shi Ning.
Tomorrow is the third countdown day before the World Dungeon starts and the originally scheduled day for reaching the Realm of Reason.
But not long after Wu Chang left the Management Bureau, He Yun contacted him in advance, requesting him to visit the Underground Shelter Plane.
He recalled that when transferring the Super Factory two days ago, He Yun mentioned she could temporarily distribute her consciousness to three planes, maintaining permanence in the Hymn Company and reality while alternating between the Underground Shelter and Steam Phantom Plane.
At the time, He Yun claimed that the Underground Shelter’s construction was at a critical juncture, and she couldn’t withdraw herself and would need to wait until completion before entering the Steam Phantom Dungeon.
Now inviting him to the Underground Shelter, it seems that He Yun’s critical moment has seen a breakthrough.
Initially, Wu Chang assumed He Yun summoned him to witness her success, and amidst the successful atmosphere, she would perhaps reward him.
But before hanging up, He Yun advised him to "Remember to bring Erin," shattering Wu Chang’s speculation.
Unfortunately, it seems purely business-related.
He took Erin and entered the Underground Shelter via the Pillar of the Divine Kingdom.
Upon reaching the first underground floor with Erin, He Yun drove an empty vehicle over.
The He Yun appearing before him and Erin was her true self, not an awareness separated by the Mechanical Heart, indicating how seriously He Yun regards the forthcoming events.
Wu Chang inquired, "What was the critical moment you mentioned previously?"
He Yun, excitedly replied, "Purification of the surface!"
