Chapter 1 The White River City Library

Inside the Star-Moon Kingdom's White River City Library.

Shi Feng followed a Level 180 Tier 3 Templar Knight into the library's top-floor hall. Although this wasn't Shi Feng's first visit, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Xia Lian, dressed in a gorgeous red robe, sitting on the throne in the hall.

Compared to before, Xia Lian was now filled with a trace of divine aura, exuding a faint divine might. This was completely different from the divine might emanating from items. Although it might not be as powerful as some items used by gods, it was incomparably pure, and the closer one got, the more the pressure increased exponentially.

Even with Shi Feng's Tier 3 attributes, he couldn't get within ten yards of Xia Lian.

With such strength, even a demigod was probably no more than this.

"You've come. Judging by your appearance, you're planning to advance to Tier 3," Xia Lian said, looking at Shi Feng as he approached, her face full of human-like smiles, as if she were seeing an old friend.

"Yes," Shi Feng nodded.

Perhaps Zero Wing was already very powerful, capable of challenging those super forces. Even his personal combat power could give those super forces a headache and cause them considerable trouble.

But if he wanted to become a true hegemon in God's Domain, or compete with those super forces, Tier 3 was the real bottom line.

Becoming a Tier 3 class wasn't just a simple increase in combat power. It also signified becoming a powerful figure in God's Domain, someone who could become a magistrate in a small kingdom city.

And for players, becoming a Tier 3 class not only allowed them to act alone freely in level 100 neutral maps, but also gave them the qualification to become a lord, truly managing a territory, no longer limited to a single town or city.

This was why it was said that they could become a true hegemon.

Because after becoming a true lord, the land within their jurisdiction was under the lord's control, and it was difficult for outsiders to interfere. It was like having their own kingdom, unlike now, where players from various forces could run around freely outside guild towns, except for not being able to enter and exit guild towns at will, not to mention the various resources on the map.

But as long as they became the lord of a territory, that territory would be like a guild town. The lord had the power of life and death, and could also hire NPC guards for protection and expulsion.

Zero Wing currently had more than enough strength to protect itself, but to engage in open-field battles against those super forces would be like hitting a stone with an egg. After all, the number of experts in any super force was unimaginable. Zero Wing still had a long way to go.

Not to mention that the channels to various planes were now open, greatly increasing the intensity of competition. Especially with so few high-level maps, and even fewer neutral maps above level 100, even super forces would fight each other, no longer being as gentle as before.

So becoming a lord had become very necessary. At that time, their self-preservation ability would increase tenfold, and the guild's development speed would also undergo a qualitative change.

"Since you're prepared, I won't waste any words." Xia Lian looked at Shi Feng and smiled faintly, extending her hand and saying, "Three hundred magic crystals and twenty units of Seven Luminaries Crystals."

Shi Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

How greedy!

He had used a lot of magic crystals when he advanced to Tier 2, so he had prepared more than three hundred magic crystals for this trip. As for Seven Luminaries Crystals, he only happened to have less than thirty units on him, just in case he needed them.

But Xia Lian was asking for ninety percent of his magic crystals and Seven Luminaries Crystals...

"Here!" Shi Feng gritted his teeth and handed over the items.

Tier 3 was a major watershed, and he was a Sword Saint, so his class advancement was indeed a bit different from other classes. He couldn't not advance just for the sake of these resources.

"Not bad, this is barely enough to support the activation of the magic array." Xia Lian said with a smile after receiving the magic crystals and Seven Luminaries Crystals, "But I need to remind you that you are going to a special place. The danger there is beyond your imagination. Even if you are not a Tier 3 class now, it will be difficult for even Tier 3 classes to survive there. As for how far you can go inside, it's up to you."

As she spoke, Xia Lian began to chant a spell, and a triple magic array appeared in the center of the hall. Gradually, a dark black door emerged from the magic array, and the terrifying pressure almost made Shi Feng kneel.

"Aren't I supposed to go to a level 100 neutral map to find a lost inheritance?" Shi Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the spatial rifts in the dark black door.

Tier 3 class advancement quests were different from previous class advancement quests, because there were no Tier 3 inheritances in the various kingdoms and empires. So players needed to go to the ancient ruins in those neutral maps above level 100 to find them, and then the quest rewards would be determined based on the player's completion rate.

Even top-tier classes were no exception to such Tier 3 class advancement quests, but now he was being sent to another space-time. This disrupted his original plan, and all the class advancement experience he had gained in the past was wasted.

But Shi Feng didn't have time to think too much and walked straight in.

The dark black door didn't last long. If he didn't hurry in, it would be considered a quest failure, and he would have to wait a long time to start the quest again.

As Shi Feng walked into the dark black door, he instantly turned into a streak of white light and disappeared into the hall.

Shi Feng didn't know how long he spent in the space-time tunnel. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared on a huge island in the endless void. This island was barren and desolate, and there were spatial rifts everywhere, containing power that could easily tear apart a Mythic monster.

In addition to the countless spatial rifts, the entire environment of the island was chaotic, with violent energy constantly invading his body, continuously destroying it, making it impossible to sense the environment.

"The Null Zone?" Shi Feng didn't know what to say as he felt the surrounding environment.

The Null Zone was a dead zone in God's Domain.

In this environment, even experts who had mastered Domains would probably be like newbie players, unable to exert any combat power.

And at this time, the level 100 Void Creatures wandering around on the barren ground were even more hair-raising.

Void Maggot, Void Creature, Grand Lord, Level 101, HP 120,000,000.

Void Lightning Serpent, Void Creature, High Grand Lord, Level 102, HP 300,000,000.

Void Creatures had a natural high resistance to physical and magical damage, and even Tier 3 classes of the same level were no match for a level 100 Grand Lord. They usually needed to form a team to deal with them, but now the Void Maggots were in groups of three or five, numbering in the thousands, and the Void Lightning Serpents wandering in the air could easily wipe out a Tier 3 team.

On such an island, not to mention Tier 2 classes, even Tier 3 classes would be walking a dead end.

System: Player has accepted the Tier 3 Class Advancement Quest. Quest objective: Find the sealed Saint's Inheritance in this Null Zone, break the seal, and obtain the inheritance.

"The Saint's Ten Great Inheritances are ruthless enough!" Shi Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the system notification.

With his current strength, it was already the limit for him to deal with a single Void Maggot. If he encountered two, he could only run away, but now there were Void Maggots in groups of three or five everywhere. He couldn't even move, let alone search.

Fortunately, items and props could be used in this Null Zone. Shi Feng directly took out the Book of Darkness, summoned a Tier 3 Demon, and then summoned Anna and Kite to assist in killing the Void Maggots wandering around, with the Tier 3 Demon as the MT (main tank).

Groups of three or five Void Maggots were indeed a headache for ordinary Tier 3 classes, but for Dark-Gold and Epic-ranked Kite and Anna, it was a one-sided battle. In just half an hour, five Void Maggots had turned into nothingness, completely disappearing from this Null Zone.

As the Void Maggots died, they not only gave Shi Feng a large amount of experience points, but also dropped a crystal as black as night.

"Magic Source Crystal!" Shi Feng looked at the crystal in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief, "How could this be?"
