Chapter 1716: Chapter 1714: Lower-tier Residents
The supreme existence uses the chaotic matter in the universe to create the [Chaos Star], which is dotted with tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of abysses.
Each abyss has its own characteristics, relatively independent.
They can be classified according to size and depth,
or finely divided according to functionality,
or even numbered based on the order of the abyss’s creation using basic numbers.
However, considering overall convenience,
the most commonly used classification method is to take the earliest born, the largest in scale, the deepest, and the only one that reaches the bottom of the abyss — the [Genesis Abyss] — as the ‘Master Abyss’.
The Genesis Abyss not only connects to the Chaos Court but is also the residence of the lower-level residents and leads to the abyss party created by the supreme being.
The abysses connected to the Master Abyss are called ‘Sub Abysses’,
these abysses often have larger scales and each has obvious characteristics, such as the ‘Fungus Abyss’ which can regularly maintain and support Green.
Those connected to the Sub Abysses are called ‘Branch Abysses’, mostly functional in nature, either used for material storage, or for resting certain chaotic groups, or as a branch hub in the Chaos District.
Those not related to any of the above are called ‘Independent Abysses’, these abysses are often not fully grown or exist as dead zones.
…
Currently
The three are falling downwards in the vast and boundless Master Abyss.
According to Green, the Master Abyss is highly restrictive and also has specific “rules” set by the supreme being, comparable to the original rules of the Super World.
Any spatial means or rapid transfer abilities have no effect here,
even if the Pope wants to use ‘Void Transfer’ to quickly reach the bottom layer, he will find that no matter how he transmits, the [Depth] of his location will not change at all.
To reach the depths, [Falling] is the only way forward.
According to Green,
even starting from the ‘Depth’ where the Chaos Court is located, it would take at least a full twenty days to fall to the lowest layer where the abyss party is.
Even Green, the ‘Child of the Abyss’,
only has the privilege to directly reach the King’s Court, to continue downwards still requires falling in the conventional sense.
Besides,
during the fall, you can’t just sleep it away casually.
The Chaos Court is probably located in the middle area of the Master Abyss.
Going further down is considered the “Lower Zone”.
The concentration of madness will rise sharply, eroding the falls in all aspects,
and various dangerously “Lower Zone Residents” reside here.
Some of them hail from the Shaen Slave Capital, such as the insect lords rated as “Heroes” who are eligible to come here for assessment, and once passed, they can live in the Lower Zone.
There are also some mad species born from the center of chaos, or foreign individuals coming here to seek opportunities.
Being able to become a Lower Zone Resident indicates strong strength and recognition by the abyss,
their actions are basically unrestricted, and they might attack the falls at any time.
…
Han Dong’s Demon Eye has already peeked at some beings hidden between the abyss rocks, all of which have reached mythical levels and are extremely powerful.
Even if they identify Green’s presence, they show no intention of retreating.
However, Han Dong doesn’t really care.
As the Faceless One, he has already spread out the Void Dimension, any attack from the outside world will be effectively adapted to.
Moreover, due to Green’s presence, most Lower Zone residents dare not act recklessly.
During the fall, Han Dong suddenly remembers something.
“Oh right~ Green! What are the requirements for the assessment of Lower Zone Residents?”
“Why are you asking? Such a status does not suit you at all, it’s meaningless.”
“It’s not for me~
Rather, during the journey to chaos, I recruited a rather good minion in the Slave City.
Due to his unique ‘Devouring Trait’ and fairly high growth attributes, after [Precision Eating] the corpse of a mythical Shaen, he recently completed the Ancestor Return transformation within me.
To my knowledge,
the total duration from his birth→mature→Ancestor Return took only three years.”
Even Green gets interested upon hearing this.
“Oh? Such talent, how come I haven’t heard of Shaen Slave Capital reporting it?
According to Shaen’s current system, such talent should report to the Center of Chaos quickly…both the reporter and the City Lord would receive a blessing.
Based on the talent you described, he should surely obtain early qualifications to develop in the abyss.”
Han Dong simply explains: “He isn’t a resident of Slave City, but a slave… if I hadn’t found him by chance, he probably would have starved to death.”
This minion highly praised by Han Dong is the ghoul named Corpse Nation, from the slave market.
After the mythical war at the Hero’s Cathedral,
Corpse Nation received the special opportunity Han Dong promised him – “a complete corpse of a mythical Shaen”.
He did not disappoint Han Dong’s expectations, with a mature body, endured the tremendous burden brought by the mythical corpse, and achieved perfect digestion through his Devouring Trait.
During the six months Han Dong roamed the prison as the Faceless One.
Corpse Nation also completed [Opening the Gate] in the Prison World, simultaneously evolving towards the ‘Perfect Ghoul’ under the guidance of the Swollen Doctor.
At this moment,
Han Dong directly released Corpse Nation to fall with the group.
What appeared before everyone was a young man with a physique similar to a human, vigorous body, and black hair falling over his shoulders, with two features.
1. Slightly black mucus-like skin tainted by Deadly Gas.
2. A second mouth growing on the side (left face), which is not just simple organ hyperplasia, the “secondary mouth” is a structure that evolved when Corpse Nation witnessed the Truth during Opening the Gate.
The primary mouth is used for precision eating and nutrient filtering.
The secondary mouth is used for killing, containing a truth-level bite within it.
“Not bad at all!”
As Green observes Corpse Nation, he immediately perceives the difference and uniqueness within him.
Moreover,
very few ancestor bodies are not afraid when they see him…Corpse Nation clearly has a high level of awareness on a certain level.
“[Ancestor Return]is indeed the minimum requirement for the assessment of Lower Zone Residents, since he is the minion selected by Nicholas, maybe he really can pass.
However, for an Ancestor Body to undergo assessment, he might suffer some disadvantages.
If he gets devoured by madness along the way and loses himself,
just give him to me as a toy, I happen to have the resources to cultivate a ‘Madness Slave’.”
“No problem~ Corpse Nation, are you ready?”
“As long as it’s the master’s arrangement, I will obey completely!”
Corpse Nation has his current achievements, and the chance to witness the Truth.
All of it is because of Han Dong, and combined with his innate rationality, he sees Han Dong as his true master, maintaining [loyalty] no matter what.
“We will probably reach the assessment point after another day’s fall, just to let him adapt to the madness concentration first.
If he can’t endure here, then the assessment will be meaningless…”
Green also shows some interest.
After a day of falling, the group reaches a platform.
The Abyss Shaen responsible for the assessment immediately presses his entire body to the ground, expressing respect to Green.
Upon knowing the requirements, he immediately arranges the resident assessment for [Corpse Nation] as quickly as possible.
