Chapter 356 Chapter355-The History of the Abyss

John approached Boulanger...

Inside the Storm Church, the Pope watched John with excited, grateful eyes.

He said to John:

"Young man, thank you..."

Hearing this, Boulanger immediately showed dissatisfaction and bellowed at Xitell:

"Whelp, whom are you calling young man? Galewind has my gratitude, and were it not for our difference in years, I would have liked to become sworn brothers with him."

Xitell, a dominator of the church, who had swayed the continent for centuries, was chastised like a grandson!

Indeed, a grandson!

After all, his grandfather considered John a brother, and for Xitell to address John as a 'young man' was indeed a bit improper!

Xitell looked at John with a complex expression.

Gratitude didn't need to be stated, but in front of so many high-ranking bishops of the Storm Church, it was a matter of face that he seemed unable to maintain, so he had no choice but to lead his grandfather and John to a private chamber.

Tea was served along with delicate fruits.

Xitell looked towards John, opening his mouth to speak.

Boulanger was very fond of John, for he had been trapped for centuries.

Now, to see a youth who could easily pull him out, the depth of his gratitude was beyond words.

He said to John:

"I know of a place, quite fitting for those who have just become demigods and haven't yet mastered the God Flame, a place suitable for trial."

The Pope nearby also pricked up his ears to listen.

It couldn't be helped; ever since his grandfather had left, some knowledge within the Storm Church had begun to fragment.

His grandfather had been groomed as a Pope, with the old Pope entrusting all his knowledge to him.

And when he took his position, the old Pope had been dead for who knows how many years.

In the Storm Church, those old ones couldn't access deeper knowledge.

He could only rely on the scriptures to grope his way forward alone.

John's eyes lit up as he listened to the former Pope.

As a newly ascended demigod, trying to level up in other instances was futile; it was better to open a new instance for himself.

Moreover, the monsters in those instances couldn't withstand even a simple attack from him!

John looked towards the elderly Pope with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

At this moment, the elder Pope let out a hearty laugh:

"Have you ever heard of the Ancient Demon Guardians?"

The Pope beside him seemed to have heard something terrifying, his body trembling slightly.

Hearing Boulanger speak thus, the Pope asked with some uncertainty:

"Grandfather, are you referring to that… minor world?"

Within the game of the Abyss, there is a primary universe, which is the universe John knows of.

Yet, there are countless minor universes, and within these universes, the mightiest beings are also gods!

Many more are beings merged with the world's origin!

These beings, blessed with the power of their world's origin, are even more difficult to deal with.

Even from the perspective of a game player, it's akin to a person from this world traveling to a minor universe, only to find themselves inherently debuffed!

John then turned towards the elderly Pope who was self-absorbedly sipping tea and asked:

"Respected Lord Boulanger, may I inquire what exactly is the Ancient Demon Guardian you mentioned?"

John's mind was racing at this moment. Ancient Demon Guardians? Why did everyone's expression turn so grave upon hearing this?

Could it be there was something he was not aware of?

At this point, Boulanger began to speak slowly:

In the primordial era, the whole world was in chaos. Then came visitors from beyond, planting a seed within the will of this world.

This seed began to split.

Come the ancient times, there were two types of divine beings: the Supervisor Gods, representing light,

And the Demon Guardians, embodying darkness.

These two kinds of divine beings made up the universe.

The Demon Guardians, bearers of the darkest ORDER, were chaotic, unstructured, devoid of any reason; no standards of behavior in the human world could represent these gods.

Their strength was formidable, equal to that of the Supervisor Gods in this universe.

The Supervisor Gods, symbols of construction, harbingers of rebirth.

They were naturally at odds with the Demon Guardians.

But then, the Supervisor Gods acquired an extraterrestrial origin, creating new gods, some demons, some deities.

Despite their different natures, they all regarded the Supervisor God as their Father God.

Until one day, a massacre occurred!

Throughout the universe, the residences of all the newborn gods were discovered by the Demon Guardians.

With unrivaled power, the Demon Guardians began a relentless assault on the Supervisor Gods' territories.

The lands of the Supervisor Gods fell, one after another, their original worlds obliterated.

Left with no choice, the Supervisor Gods, along with the remaining deities, engaged in an all-out war against the Demon Guardians!

Afterward, the Demon Guardians perished, splintering into numerous minor universes!

The Supervisor Gods too died, fragmenting into this world's continents!

...

John, like an obedient child, raised his hand:

"Um, excuse me, what does this have to do with the Ancient Demon Guardians?"

Boulanger, hearing John's interjection, showed no particular emotion but seemed to delve into memories.

"Some gods, after merging with the power of the ancient Demon Guardians, became demonized."

"The Ancient Demon Guardians are among them, counted as quite powerful."

"They guard the souls of the Demon Guardians, preparing for their return to the mortal realm."

"Should there be someone whose essence resonates with the Demon Guardians, they will instill the soul of the Demon Guardian within that individual."

"Those people become demons… Various monsters are influenced by the ancient Demon Guardians."

As Boulanger's words fell, John suddenly heard the system notification sound.

Moreover, all players within this game heard the system prompt:

[Congratulations to the mysterious player for unlocking the worldview!]

[The Sundered Demon Guardians!]

[The system will undergo a mandatory update, and the game will not be re-accessible for 12 hours!]

[The game content update is as follows:]

[1. A brand-new PVP mode has been added; all players upon entering the game can choose to fight in the battling arena, ascending the ranks in ladder matches, with higher rankings at the season's end yielding greater rewards.]

[2. A new dungeon has been added, the Soul of the Demon Guardian! There are various types of dungeons, and slaying within can grant the power of the Demon Guardian, permanently enhancing physical attributes.]

...

A cascade of information pulled John from his initial befuddlement. Had he, with a single sentence, unlocked a new worldview?

The game was becoming more intriguing. What mighty being could have created both the Supervisor Gods and the Demon Guardians in this world?

And if mere fragments of the Demon Guardians could become powerful Demon Protectors, how formidable was the original Demon Guardian?

These revelations set John's thoughts whirling.

Then, a special system notification sounded:

[Galewind player, you have unlocked the worldview and ascended to demigod status, with a special reward bestowed upon you]

[Your rewards are as follows: legendary weapons, the Holy Blade and the Abyssal Blade]

[Name: Blade of the Divine]

[Type: Legendary]

[Feature: Attack power 1 million! Chance to double rewards against ordinary monsters]

[Feature 2: Penetration, this attack can pierce through 20% of enemy armor]

[Feature 3: Demon Ward, this weapon deals an additional 10% damage to evil creatures]

[Name: Abyssal Blade]

[Type: Legendary]

[Feature: Mental attack power 1 million, chance to double rewards against ordinary monsters]

[Feature 2: Daze, this attack has a 20% chance to daze enemies, making leveling easier]

[Feature 3: Divine Will, this attack deals 10% more damage to holy attribute enemies]

[Reward 2: Soul of the Demon Guardian]

[Quality: MAX!]

[Feature: To be developed...]

...

John's excitement trembled through him as he eyed the succession of rewards.

When the system indicated he had half an hour left to exit the dungeon, he bid farewell to those around him.

His Divine Blade had now fused into the two legendary weapons, their attack power greatly enhanced after the fusion, diverging in nature.

John felt, after a thorough examination, that within this game, he was now second only to the gods.

Indeed, even if he were to encounter a deity, John harbored no fear.

To be cautious, he inquired of the system:

"Within this game, aside from myself, has anyone else ignited a God Flame?"

The system's voice, cold as ice, resounded:

"No, you are the first..."

John murmured to himself, it made sense; he was far ahead of the other players. Even with the whole world pouring into this game, and the existence of some hidden experts was undeniable, the chasm between them and himself was terrifying.

Moreover, he had ignited not one but two God Flames.

One of utter darkness, the other of absolute light.

Even if some concealed master player was lucky enough to ignite a God Flame, John was confident he could crush them in battle.

His eyes sparked with interest as he looked towards the new competitive mode. With ranking, he could at least identify who the strongest among the first tier were. As for the top spot, he was determined to claim it!

Beside him, Boulanger tossed over a black orb.

[Name: Level Teleportation Sphere]

[Quality: Rare]

[Vanishes after one use, grants entry to the Ancient Guardian level...]

[Be warned, the Ancient Guardians are immensely powerful and wildly ferocious; this dungeon poses great danger. Consider carefully before entering. Failure to clear the level will result in severe penalties...]

Seeing the prompt on the black orb, John chuckled. He paid no heed to the warning.

Now a demigod, even facing a god, he had the confidence to slay it. What then could an Ancient Guardian possibly do to frighten him?
