Chapter 1 Ancient God's Maze

After activating the Ancient God Key, Shi Feng only felt a blur before his eyes, and instantly appeared in what seemed like an ocean of temporal torrents. He could see various images and scenes around him, all of which were the past history of God's Domain—the rise of kingdoms, the wars of empires, and the triumphs of heroes.

He didn't know how long he had been traveling when Shi Feng suddenly discovered a huge spatial black hole in front of him. Countless dark arcs of electricity covered the entire black hole. Shi Feng could clearly feel the power of these dark arcs of electricity. They gave the impression that even Tier 5 classes would be instantly reduced to ashes in front of these arcs.

However, when Shi Feng entered the spatial black hole, the magic barrier surrounding him easily blocked these dark arcs of electricity as they bombarded him, allowing him to penetrate deep into the spatial black hole without being affected in the slightest.

By the time Shi Feng came back to his senses, he had already appeared inside an ancient, dilapidated palace.

System: Player has discovered the Ancient God's Maze.

System: Within the Ancient God's Maze, players cannot communicate with the outside world. The flow of time is the same as in reality. After a player dies, they will automatically be transported out of the Ancient God's Maze.

"So, this is the Land of Trials?"

Shi Feng didn't feel surprised by the system notification. After all, this was a place left behind by the ancient gods. It was normal for it to be isolated from the outside world, and for the flow of time to be different from that of the God's Domain Continent. On the contrary, he was more interested in the environment of the Ancient God's Maze.

The entire hall had no other exits besides the tightly closed stone door in front of him, but the magic power here was very dense, much denser than in Zero Wing City.

This could be a great thing for players.

In a high-magic environment, players can not only better display their strength, but also recover their mental and physical strength very quickly. In other words, in this environment, players can fight continuously without worrying about the consumption of mental and physical strength.

Immediately, Shi Feng walked towards the tightly closed door.

The huge door, made entirely of obsidian, was engraved with many divine patterns. The closer he got, the greater the pressure he felt. The pressure he felt in front of the door was no less than standing in front of a Tier 5 NPC.

System: Player has discovered the Gate of the Ancient God. Players have four difficulty levels to choose from: Normal, Hard, Hell, and Shura. Once selected, it cannot be changed afterwards. Please choose carefully.

"Four difficulty levels?" Shi Feng was stunned when he heard the system notification.

In his memory, the place transmitted by the Ancient God Key only had three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Hell. The names of these three difficulty levels were the same as when choosing the difficulty of a dungeon. Many players didn't take it seriously, and the result was wasting a great opportunity.

Perhaps for ordinary experts, the normal difficulty level was nothing, and they would generally choose Hard. For many top experts, choosing the Hell level was their bottom line.

But the final result was that ordinary experts couldn't even pass the normal level, while top experts were helpless against the hard level...

This is why so many players wasted their opportunities after obtaining the Ancient God Key.

The normal difficulty level already had a considerable chance of obtaining Epic-grade items. The hard level could obtain several Epic-grade items, and there was even a slight chance of obtaining Legendary-grade item fragments. The Hell level had a great chance of obtaining Legendary-grade item fragments.

And now there was Shura after Hell, which was surprising.

This made Shi Feng not know which difficulty to choose for a while.

In the trial of the Ancient God Key, it wasn't that the higher the player's level, the better, because the difficulty was determined according to the player's level. Compared to improving the level, it was more important to improve the player's own strength.

Originally, his plan was to challenge the Hell level and compete for the Legendary-grade item fragment. He was quite confident about this, but now that Shura had appeared, the problem had arisen.

Each difficulty increase of the Ancient God Key was very large, and of course, the reward after success was also very generous. Maybe he could handle the Hell level, but it would be very difficult to deal with the Shura level.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs? Let's choose Shura!" Shi Feng thought for a while, and then chose the Shura difficulty.

Although the Hell difficulty level had a great chance of obtaining Legendary-grade item fragments, it wasn't guaranteed to be obtained after clearing the level. According to the setting, if the Shura level was cleared, a Legendary-grade item fragment could definitely be obtained. Compared to gambling on the possibility of the Hell level, it was better to try the Shura level.

After all, for the current Zero Wing, one or two Epic-grade items were too limited in helping him personally or the guild. Only Legendary-grade item fragments were the key, especially for the current Zero Wing.

With the continuous improvement of players' levels and technical skills, there would be more and more Epic-grade items. Previously, Zero Wing could rely on the advantage of Epic-grade equipment to compete with the experts of super forces, but with the development of time, the lack of top expert players in number and level began to gradually show.

It was difficult to train a real top expert, even with abundant resources and talent, it would take a lot of time, and this time was still calculated in years.

To maintain Zero Wing's existing level, only Legendary-grade item fragments could do it.

Moreover, the help of even Epic-grade items was very limited after the Tier 2 advancement. The Tier 3 class could be said to be a huge watershed for the reshuffle of the entire God's Domain forces, and many once-prosperous forces were destroyed because of this.

After Tier 3, only Legendary-grade item fragments could still provide a lot of help, allowing many experts with slightly worse levels to forcibly enter Tier 3. This is why guilds with Legendary-grade item fragments have more Tier 3 and Tier 4 experts than guilds without them.

In other words, every additional Legendary-grade item fragment now will mean more Tier 3 and even Tier 4 pillar experts in the future.

Now that there was a 100% chance to get a Legendary-grade item, he naturally couldn't let it go.

As Shi Feng finished choosing the difficulty of the Gate of the Ancient God, the huge Gate of the Ancient God also lit up with golden light. The two doors slowly opened, and a narrow and deep corridor appeared in front of Shi Feng.

"As expected, it's not simple." Shi Feng looked at the deep corridor with a slightly solemn expression. His brain was constantly sending out dangerous signals of death.

Although he hadn't walked in yet, Shi Feng could already see many corpses lying on both sides of this corridor. The equipment on these corpses was extremely good, and each one emitted the light halo effect of Epic-grade equipment. However, these Epic-grade equipment were already tattered, which showed how difficult the Shura level test was.

For players who are not familiar with God's Domain, they may regard these corpses as decorations in the maze.

But for Shi Feng, who has played God's Domain for ten years, this is not a decoration, but a reminder of extreme danger.

Epic-grade equipment is an extraordinary thing, and it is not easy to destroy it, even the Epic-grade equipment worn by NPCs is the same, but now these Epic-grade equipment have been completely damaged.

Then Shi Feng took a deep breath and directly summoned the Fire Spirit to lead the way in front.

The moment the Fire Spirit walked into the door, a roar suddenly came from the deep corridor. The sound was so loud that it was deafening. Even Shi Feng couldn't help but cover his ears.

And Shi Feng was also unprecedentedly familiar with this roar.

Dragon's Roar!

And it was a genuine Dragon's Roar!
