Chapter 2720  Report

Fang Heng looked around the altar again.

It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place here.

He remembered hearing from the Dark Clan that the Empress had been heavily drained of her elite forces in the Abyss of Despair. To maintain the operations of the Abyss, she had been seriously injured...

This matched up with what he knew.

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered, closing his eyes as he recalled the scenes he had seen during his meditation by the Nether River.

No, he couldn't find any more clues.

Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng tried several more methods, attempting various rituals and academic techniques, but nothing seemed to affect the orb in the space.

It wasn't just him—even the soul warriors from behind, who had been trailing him, couldn't get near the area where the orb was located.

Helpless, Fang Heng decided to head back for now.

He needed to consult the undead council to see if they had any insights.

The instructors of the undead council were experienced; perhaps they would have some breakthrough ideas.

It had been so long since he last reported to them, so it was time to update them on the situation as well.

...

"Esteemed instructors, here's what I've encountered in the past few days."

Half an hour later, Fang Heng returned to the undead council. He briefly summarized everything that had happened recently.

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the undead council wore serious expressions.

From their perspective, what Fang Heng had witnessed was likely related to the birth of the death realm, and possibly the origin of many high-level worlds.

Putting aside the academic research, it was clear that the God-level necromancy advancement was related to the orb. The most pressing issue now was finding a way to teleport the orb out of the death realm.

The death realm was facing a crisis, and if they couldn't figure out how to move the orb now, it would only become more difficult later on.

"What do you all think? Please, speak freely."

Upon hearing this, the instructors began to discuss among themselves in hushed tones.

One instructor spoke up, "There's a concern. According to the rumors from the Dark Clan, the Empress once fought a battle in the Abyss of Despair with Disaster. Disaster must have noticed the orb's existence, but it seems that it didn't manage to teleport it."

"Hmm, it's possible that Disaster couldn't do it either."

Georgi nodded, contemplating, "After Disaster broke free from its seal, its strength was greatly reduced, so it entered the Nether River to regain its form with the help of its power."

"If he fully recovers, it's highly likely that he will be able to control the orb," Georgi said gravely.

"Then it seems we need to act quickly and move the orb before Disaster fully recovers."

The group continued to discuss for a while and came up with a few methods, but Fang Heng didn't have much hope for their success.

The undead instructors had never seen the orb in person, and they didn't clearly understand the orb's corruptive abilities.

In Fang Heng's opinion, once something entered the corruptive domain, nothing could withstand the aging and decay caused by the passage of time.

After Fang Heng rejected each of the proposals one by one, the instructors fell into a temporary silence.

Based on what Fang Heng had described, it seemed that only a holy weapon-level artifact might be able to affect the orb's power.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Georgi.

Georgi pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go ask a friend."

As he spoke, Georgi raised his hand slightly.

A spatial passage appeared on the right side.

Georgi took a step forward and disappeared into the magic array.

Fang Heng couldn't help but turn to Ji Xiaobo, casting him a questioning look.

Friend?

One of the instructors noticed Fang Heng's confusion and nodded, explaining, "Chairman Georgi traveled through many worlds when he was younger and made many friends. One of them, an astrologer, is deeply interested in the origins of the world. He has even mentioned the 'Creator' you spoke of."

"Creator..."

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Ji Xiaobo added, "I've heard my grandfather mention him. That guy is a staunch neutral, never involved in any faction's battles. I believe our president probably used the information you gathered from your visions to trade with him, hoping to find some breakthrough."

The instructors in the council hall gathered again to continue their discussion, and half an hour later, the central magic array began to spin once more.

Georgi stepped out from the magic array, his face solemn.

The room fell silent.

"President, did you find anything?"

"Yes, I asked around. The vision Fang Heng saw is indeed related to the 'Creator.' Similar mirrors have been seen in other places," Georgi said, looking at Fang Heng. "Fang Heng, can you recall whether, when you first saw the 'Creator' bestowing the orb while splitting the world, the orb had some kind of seal or restrictive layer over it?"

Seal?

Fang Heng's mind stirred.

Indeed!

He did remember something like that!

Fang Heng closed his eyes, carefully recalling the first image he had seen.

That's right!

The orb was covered by a dark golden grid-like pattern.

However, when comparing it with the orb in the death realm, he didn't see that same golden grid pattern.

Could this dark golden grid be a protective mechanism?

A sudden realization hit Fang Heng.

He opened his eyes again and nodded, responding, "Yes, I remember now. There was a dark golden mesh-like structure in the mirror, but the orb in the Abyss of Despair doesn't have that."

"Then that confirms it," Georgi nodded in understanding. "What you saw was not the surface structure of the orb but a protective mechanism that prevents the orb's power from contracting and becoming impossible to touch."

"President, do you mean that if we find this protective layer, we can move the orb?" one of the instructors asked.

"It's just a guess," Georgi shook his head. "My friend is not 100% certain. But it's worth trying. This seems like a method we can explore."

Fang Heng nodded thoughtfully.

In the next moment, a game prompt appeared in his vision.

[Hint: The player has triggered a side mission-Teleport the orb in the Abyss of Despair.]

Mission name: Teleport the Orb in the Abyss of Despair.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: You have discovered an unknown orb at the deepest part of the Abyss of Despair. You believe that teleporting the orb is critical to your progress, but transferring the orb may require a special protective net mechanism.

Mission requirements: Find the lost protective net and ensure the orb is safely teleported to the newly constructed 'death realm.'

Mission reward: Increased death aura concentration and a high world-level score for the new death realm.

Mission triggered!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

It seemed that the undead council's judgment was most likely correct.

So, where could the protective net be?

The person who had the longest contact with the orb was undoubtedly Empress Persephone.

At the very least, when the orb was in her hands, that protective net was still there.
