Chapter 1 Another World

Shi Feng had just stepped into the temple and felt as if he had arrived in another world.

Birds sang, flowers bloomed, and vegetation grew luxuriantly. It was completely a garden and didn't resemble a temple at all.

"A Fallen Angel!"

Shi Feng immediately discovered the Fallen Angel who had killed him once before inside the garden.

Black wings, a bewitching and perfect figure, slender legs, and skin as white as jade, with a flawless face—only the High Priest Xia Lian could compare. Other women would pale in comparison.

"Human, you're quite fast." The fifth-order Fallen Angel Serena looked at Shi Feng with her emerald eyes and said with a playful smile, "You adventurers are truly blessed by the heavens. You are born with immortal souls. Even if we wanted to completely kill you adventurers, it wouldn't be easy."

Shi Feng recalled the scene of the Fallen Angel instantly killing him, and his back still felt cold.

Those nearly perfect combat skills were unmatched by many players in the entire God's Domain.

If he didn't know that there were only rewards and no penalties inside the temple, he probably would have turned around and fled.

"My name is Serena. Come over here. This time you have come to World Peak normally. I won't kill you." The Fallen Angel Serena beckoned and said with a smile, "Since you were able to come here, it proves that you have some ability. I can give you two choices."

"Two choices?" Shi Feng asked curiously.

"Speaking of choices, they are actually just two kinds of reward methods." The Fallen Angel Serena nodded slightly. "The first is to obtain the Book of Darkness that has been stored here. The second is to pass a small test. Not only can you get the Book of Darkness, but you can also get these things."

The Fallen Angel Serena gently waved her hand.

Three rainbow treasure chests suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The first rainbow treasure chest contained a large number of Soul Crystals, roughly estimated to be more than a hundred.

In the Dark Caves, Soul Crystals were the foundation of all development. Obtaining more than a hundred Soul Crystals at once would definitely greatly improve the strength of the shelter.

The second rainbow treasure chest contained a black stone tablet that felt somewhat similar to the Chapter of Darkness, but the name displayed was Chapter of Sanctuary, which could directly promote a shelter by one level, up to a Large Shelter.

"There are even such good things, epic-level rewards are truly amazing." Shi Feng was extremely excited.

Shelters were very difficult to upgrade within the Dark Caves. In addition to needing a massive amount of Soul Crystals, a series of tasks needed to be completed to upgrade. The manpower and resources spent were extremely terrifying. Even the shelters in the first district had not yet been upgraded to Large Shelters. One could imagine the difficulty. Only those shelters backed by large guilds, gathering all the resources controlled by the guild's shelters, could create a Large Shelter.

Now, obtaining the Chapter of Sanctuary would immediately allow a Medium Shelter to be upgraded to a Large Shelter, which would be a huge improvement for the Zero Wing-controlled shelters in the first district.

However, after the third rainbow treasure chest was opened, Shi Feng was completely stunned.

"Magic Weapon Design!" Shi Feng stared intently at the tattered design drawing in the third rainbow treasure chest, wishing he could snatch it immediately.

"Oh, I didn't expect a human like you to know about this thing. Since you know about magic weapons, then you must know the significance of a magic weapon design, the value of which is only slightly less than the Book of Darkness, but for you humans, the value of magic weapons is probably far above the Book of Darkness." The Fallen Angel Serena smiled with satisfaction at Shi Feng's reaction. "Tell me, which reward do you choose?"

Shi Feng couldn't help but fall silent.

Magic weapons were the product of the peak of magical civilization in God's Domain, the culmination of alchemy, forging, and engineering. They were also a symbol of the end of the era of gods and demons. Even the lowest-level Bronze magic weapon could improve a player's strength by one level, let alone a magic weapon design.

Even the lowest-level Bronze magic weapon design could spark a guild war.

In his previous life, the appearance of a Mysterious-Iron magic weapon design caused more than a dozen kingdoms and hundreds of large guilds to compete for it, including super guilds. Countless people died in that great battle, roughly estimated to be more than five million, and it was ultimately obtained by a super guild.

As for second-rate guilds like Underworld, they didn't dare to participate and could only watch from the sidelines.

Now, a magic weapon design was right in front of him, how could Shi Feng not be envious?

Magic weapons were devices that could be installed on weapons. Each weapon could only install one, somewhat like mana armor pieces, but magic weapons did not improve any basic attributes, but could improve the strength of the weapon.

After the third evolution of God's Domain, whether it was battles between players or battles between players and monsters, injuries would lead to a decline in combat power. However, players could rely on healing to recover, but the consumption of weapons was unavoidable. Especially when fighting high-level monsters, it was very difficult for weapons to affect the combat power of lord monsters with skin as tough as pig iron, unless the weapon quality was very high.

And magic weapons could strengthen weapons, not only making them sharper, but also attaching some special states, such as lightness, heaviness, hardness, phantom, paralysis, etc., which could greatly improve combat power.

In addition, the most important point was that magic weapons were not consumables, but removable items that could be inlaid like gemstones. Whether it was a level 1 common weapon or a level 200 epic weapon, they could be replaced at will.

That's why players flocked to magic weapons.

However, the production of magic weapons was very difficult and the output was very scarce. Many players, even after leveling up to more than a hundred, did not have their own magic weapon. Even Shi Feng himself, after leveling up to more than a hundred, only used a Mysterious-Iron magic weapon. He was still the guild leader of a second-rate guild, and other free experts only had a Bronze magic weapon.

If he could get the magic weapon design now, it would definitely be a major trump card for the Zero Wing Guild.

"Have you thought about it?" The Fallen Angel Serena played with the magic weapon design in her hand and smiled slightly. "Time waits for no one. You only have three minutes to consider. If you don't choose, then the default is the first one. You can leave after getting the Book of Darkness."

"I'll risk it." Shi Feng looked at the Fallen Angel, his heart burning. "I choose the second one."

Neither the Chapter of Sanctuary nor the magic weapon design were easy to obtain. The difficulty of obtaining the magic weapon design was even above that of epic-level items, otherwise magic weapons wouldn't be so rare.

"Good, I knew you were a smart person, then let's begin." The Fallen Angel Serena smiled with satisfaction.

With a wave of Serena's hand, the entire garden disappeared, and instead became a volcanic hell. The area within a radius of thirty or forty yards was surrounded by scorching magma. The scorching heat would probably slowly burn ordinary players to death. Only players with high fire resistance like Shi Feng could stay there for a long time, and the gravity had also become three times stronger, which could greatly affect the player's mobility.

"Come, defeat me, and you will win." The Fallen Angel Serena floated in mid-air, looking down at Shi Feng and laughing.
