Chapter 1563 Heart of the Gods

As Fete Haliya finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent, and even Hell Shriek frowned slightly.

"The Illusionary Myth is too arrogant. Do they really think our Underworld Empire doesn't exist?" A Thunder Beast, nearly three meters tall, suddenly roared in anger.

Too outrageous!

The Illusionary Myth's words were not just a warning to Zero Wing; they were completely disregarding the Underworld Empire.

The cooperation between Starlight Fortress and the Underworld Empire had been widely publicized, and no super guild was unaware of it, especially Illusionary Myth.

Yet, Illusionary Myth demanded 51% of the Starlight Fortress shares right off the bat, completely ignoring their existence.

"Fete, do you know who the leader of this Illusionary Myth group is?" Hell Shriek asked, his voice icy. "To say such things, it seems the Hell Legion hasn't communicated with Illusionary Myth in too long. They've forgotten about us!"

As Hell Shriek spoke, the surrounding temperature began to drop, and the ambient mana seemed to sense his emotions, gradually solidifying. His control over mana had reached an incredibly high level.

"Guild Leader Shriek, don't be impulsive. This group from Illusionary Myth is a newly emerging team. The leader is a young, silver-haired man, around twenty-two or twenty-three years old. He's replaced the original Vice Guild Leader of the First Main Force, Trembling Hand. The other members of the team are also around the same age, but they're extremely strong, especially in speed. Even our guild's fastest assassins are much slower. They're like ghosts, appearing and disappearing without a trace. I can't even sense their presence when they're behind me," Fete Haliya dissuaded Hell Shriek, who was eager to confront Illusionary Myth. "If they're in the wild, they'll be as troublesome as devils. There's no way to deal with them."

She understood Hell Shriek's anger, but this team only had a dozen members, each appearing and disappearing unpredictably. They were manageable inside the fortress, but confronting them in the wild was a suicide mission.

In the complex terrain of the wilderness, the inability to sense them was akin to being blind. Even with Hell Shriek's strength, three or four top experts couldn't even touch their clothes. It took five or six top experts just to barely hold them back.

And there were more than a dozen such experts…

If they attacked together, her hundred-plus members wouldn't be able to defend in time. They focused on one target, killed them, and ran. No one could stop them. The situation in the wild would be unimaginable.

"Trembling Hand was replaced? How is that possible?" Thunder Beast asked, his face incredulous.

Trembling Hand was a veteran of Illusionary Myth. He was known as a genius from the start, fighting his way up for over a decade. He had reached a deeper level of the Domain Realm, and his strength was comparable to their guild leader, Hell Shriek. At only thirty-plus years old, he was at his peak and could still improve further.

The high-level executives of the super guilds believed that Trembling Hand was the most likely candidate to become the next guild leader of Illusionary Myth's First Main Force.

Now, he had been replaced by a young man…

How could he believe it?

At this moment, even the furious Hell Shriek became serious.

"No wonder they dare to say such things. They have some confidence, after all!" Hell Shriek narrowed his eyes, thinking about how to deal with them.

If what Fete Haliya said was true, then this would be difficult.

An expert stronger than Trembling Hand, whom no one could sense, would give any super guild's main force a headache.

With Trembling Hand's strength, most of the team wouldn't last long against him. Add in the inability to sense him, and they'd be killed in three to five moves.

In three to five moves, unless someone had an invincibility skill, there wouldn't be enough time to rescue them. If that person wanted to escape, even Trembling Hand couldn't stop him without twenty or thirty top experts. And with the inability to sense them, there was no way to stop them.

"Guild Leader Fete, do they have any records of entering or leaving the fortress?" Shi Feng asked.

"No. They seem to have appeared in the fortress out of nowhere. They seem to have easily bypassed the guards at the checkpoints without even the Tier 3 NPCs noticing," Fete Haliya sighed and shook her head.

Normally, Tier 3 NPCs would inspect everyone entering Starlight Fortress, but she had checked, and there were no records or memories of these people entering Starlight Fortress. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air.

They couldn't even block them at the gate, leaving them at their mercy.

"That's interesting," Shi Feng said with a smile.

"Interesting?" Fete Haliya rolled her eyes at Shi Feng, wondering if he knew the seriousness of the situation.

The inability to be sensed and the ability to freely enter and exit Starlight Fortress…

If they caused trouble in Starlight Fortress, no one would be able to stop them.

Starlight Fortress had finally developed, and if it was disrupted, it would be disastrous. No one wanted to stay in an unsafe place, especially a place for trading important resources and equipment.

"Of course! Leave the rest to Zero Wing. Guild Leader Fete, please handle the daily defense of the fortress," Shi Feng said with certainty.

Before he obtained the Heart of the Gods, he would have been troubled by this group of elusive experts.

It was too difficult to deal with them. If they couldn't quickly kill them the moment they were discovered, they would disappear into a corner, leaving them helpless.

But now it was different.

He had the Heart of the Gods, an eternal energy body worth as much as a holy relic.

It could be used as an energy core, and the rich Eternal Energy inside could help people comprehend and learn. It was one of the best items for comprehension and learning in God's Domain.

Eternal Energy was above mana. Only gods could use and condense it, and even for gods, it was difficult to condense Eternal Energy.

In an era without gods, it was difficult to obtain Eternal Energy in God's Domain. Even the Tier 5 NPCs at the peak of God's Domain would fight over a small drop of Eternal Energy, and Tier 6 God-ranked players would risk their lives for it.

He now possessed a heart completely condensed from Eternal Energy. Such wealth couldn't be exchanged for an empire.

He had planned to return to the Eastern Continent and find a suitable place to use the remaining memory crystal of the Mana Body.

The Mana Body was the beginning of Tier 3 classes. Once he unlocked the Mana Body, it wouldn't be impossible for him to kill those people quickly. He could truly display the effects of mana control after unlocking the Mana Body and challenge the maps where the fragments of Solomon's Sword were stored.

Now, it seemed his previous plan was unnecessary.

With the Heart of the Gods, he could find a quiet place and take out the Heart of the Gods without exposing it, instantly turning it into the best learning sanctuary in God's Domain.

The Starlight Fortress City Lord's Mansion was the perfect place.

Thinking of this, Shi Feng quickened his pace.

After Shi Feng and the others turned and left, Fete Haliya was stunned.

She didn't understand what Shi Feng was thinking.

At a time like this, he wanted to solve the problem with Illusionary Myth alone, just like Hell Shriek.

"Guild Leader, what do we do now?" A Tier 3 Shield Warrior asked. "After the last incident, many merchant players left. If it happens again, the players in the fortress will become panicked, and the situation will be difficult to control."

"Forget it. I don't care anymore. Let those from Illusionary Myth cause trouble. Once those from Zero Wing see how serious this is, they'll understand. If the three guilds fully cooperate, we should be able to restrain those from Illusionary Myth," Fete Haliya said, massaging her temples. She knew that persuasion was useless. She might as well let Shi Feng and the others try. If they failed, they would naturally work with them to find a solution.

"Guild Leader Fete, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Maybe Guild Leader Black Flame can show those from Illusionary Myth how powerful they are. Zero Wing has some strength. Even if Guild Leader Black Flame can't completely stop those from Illusionary Myth, he can at least give them some trouble," Hell Shriek said, comforting the worried Fete Haliya.

Although he didn't think Zero Wing could solve the problem with Illusionary Myth, with experts like Fire Dance, they could at least give them a headache.

The next question was who could last longer.

While Fete Haliya and Hell Shriek were talking, Shi Feng arrived at the core secret room of the City Lord's Mansion. He used the City Lord's Token to activate all the defensive magic arrays in the secret room, and then carefully took out a crystal emitting a faint divine aura from his backpack.
