Chapter 1007 – Enos’s Reward

[Light of Dawn] (Great Grandmaster Engineering Design)

Can be used to construct the Super-Ancient Magic Bomb, Light of Dawn. It can be detonated to deal Pseudo-Tier 7 destruction damage to a radius of 1,000 yards.

Pseudo-Tier 7 destruction damage? Is this the strength of a super-ancient civilization? Shi Feng was at a loss for words when he finished reading Light of Dawn’s description.

Heaven-defying!

It was absolutely heaven-defying!

This was likely the first super-ancient design to have appeared in a player’s hands in the human race’s Greater God’s Domain. Like Epic Siege Weapons, the method of producing super-ancient technology was long lost in the Greater God’s Domain. Even High Craftsman Forgers and Engineers could not replicate or repair it.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the Light of Dawn Design was worth several times more than the combined value of everything else the Undying Mother dropped.

Light of Dawn’s ability to exhibit power at the Pseudo-Tier 7 standard was something Shi Feng had never seen on a magic bomb in his previous life. Moreover, the Light of Dawn Design was only a Great Grandmaster Design, which meant that even Great Grandmaster Engineers could produce it with a high success rate. This was a stark contrast to Divine Blood, which would have an abysmally low production success rate unless Craftsman Alchemists produced it.

It only costs ten God Crystals to produce one? That’s not too bad. Shi Feng’s eyes lit up when he saw the primary materials needed to produce Light of Dawn.

Although it was admittedly extravagant to trade ten God Crystals for one Pseudo-Tier 7 attack, it remained an incredibly worthwhile trade for a power. After all, only Divine Set users and experts fully equipped with Divine Artifacts could reliably survive a Pseudo-Tier 7 attack. Moreover, most could only defend against one Pseudo-Tier 7 attack within a set period.

In other words, two Lights of Dawn would give players a high chance of killing a Divine Set user or an expert fully equipped with Divine Artifacts. If a power could arm a legion of players with multiple Lights of Dawn, it would be equivalent to having a legion of Divine Set users. Even royal powers wouldn’t dare confront such a legion head-on.

After Shi Feng inspected the Light of Dawn Design, he turned his attention to the parchment fragment.

[Myriad Doppelgangers] (Action-type)

Pseudo-Tier 7 Taboo Skill

Create up to 10,000 true doppelgangers. The more true doppelgangers are created, the less Strength each doppelganger will receive. If three or fewer doppelgangers are created, each will receive 100% of the user’s Strength.

Duration: 5 minutes

Cooldown: 6 hours

A Pseudo-Tier 7 Taboo Skill? Shi Feng couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Myriad Doppelgangers’ introduction.

The fact that the Undying Mother had dropped a super-ancient design was already mind-blowing. He never expected it to drop a Pseudo-Tier 7 Taboo Skill as well. A Pseudo-Tier 7 Taboo Skill could rival bona fide Tier 7 Skills. Apart from relying on weapons and equipment that came with Tier 7 Skills, players could only access Tier 7 Skills by learning them after reaching Tier 7.

As Myriad Doppelgangers was a Pseudo-Tier 7 Skill, it could be learned by Tier 6 players. Additionally, it was a Doppelganger Skill with true doppelgangers, which meant that the player would never die so long as even one doppelganger remained alive. Myriad Doppelgangers also allowed its user to create up to 10,000 true doppelgangers. Even if creating so many doppelgangers would result in them coming out much weaker than the main body, it was still a heaven-defying ability. Myriad Doppelgangers could already be considered an Immortality Skill.

After Shi Feng chose to learn Myriad Doppelgangers, he had Blackie come and collect the Light of Dawn Design and Mutant’s Blood. He tasked Blackie with assigning trustworthy Great Grandmaster Engineers to secretly produce Lights of Dawn. As for the Mutant’s Blood, it was to be handed to Purgatory Jade and Umbra Talon to complete their transaction.

Once Shi Feng was done giving Blackie instructions, he took out the Abyss Workshop Certification and teleported to the Abyss Workshop, not daring to delay turning in the Undying Tentacle even a moment longer.

The ascension to Tier 7 was a feat no player from the human race, the Crystallian race, and the Holy Race had ever accomplished, so it went without saying the Tier 7 promotion was impossibly difficult. Considering that Enos had stated she could halve the difficulty of crossing that threshold, Shi Feng regarded her quest as top priority.

Not to mention, Enos’s quest was a Mythical World Main Storyline Quest with a time limit. Normally, the sooner players completed such quests, the greater the rewards. Players would receive only the minimum guaranteed reward if these quests were turned in at the last minute. Hence, Shi Feng did not intend to delay turning in Enos’s quest.

…

Void Sea, Abyss Workshop:

Much had changed in the Abyss Workshop since Shi Feng last visited. Originally, the shipyard was only a hundred yards long and wide; now, it was a thousand yards long and wide. Furthermore, he saw other players at the shipyard. Although there were only two other players here, one of them exuded an aura no less frightening than that of Demon’s Gate’s Empyreal Wraith.

Although both players wore Advanced Black Cloaks that hid all their information, Shi Feng’s Master Observation Skill allowed him to see that they were not human players. One of these players was a tall Crystallian woman, while the other was a woman with long ears and aquamarine eyes, looking very much like the Ancient Elves that had long since disappeared from the Greater God’s Domain.

Of these two non-human female players, the Crystallian woman was none other than Ink Crystal, whom Shi Feng had met several times before. As for the woman who resembled an Ancient Elf, she was entirely unfamiliar. However, judging by how the elven woman interacted with Ink Crystal, the two should be close acquaintances. When these two women saw him appearing, they turned toward him and scrutinized him.

“Black Flame?” Ink Crystal’s face flashed with surprise when she saw Shi Feng, who hadn’t bothered hiding his appearance.

“Do you know this human kid?” the elven woman asked, looking at Ink Crystal curiously. “How is his strength? Is he qualified to become our helper?”

“He’s quite strong. He can match the average sixth-floor expert in technical standards. However, I’m afraid he is still somewhat lacking to be our helper,” Ink Crystal said, shaking her head.

“Only the average sixth-floor expert?” At Ink Crystal’s answer, the elven woman sighed, “What a pity. The average sixth-floor expert won’t be of any use to us. It seems we’ll have to seek out that genius from the Holy Race to fight for that promotion opportunity.”

After this brief exchange, Ink Crystal and the elven woman turned into streaks of light and disappeared from the Abyss Workshop, leaving Shi Feng by himself outside the shipyard.

Even the average sixth-floor expert is useless to them? Shi Feng couldn’t help but doubt his ears when he overheard the conversation between Ink Crystal and the elven woman. Although the two didn’t speak loudly, he still heard them clearly.

Sixth-floor experts, even those who barely reached the standard, were considered the uppermost existences among the Holy Race and the human race in his previous life. Yet, Ink Crystal and the elven woman spoke as if such sixth-floor experts were insignificant existences who couldn’t even qualify to participate in the promotion opportunity they spoke of…

Shortly after the two left, a pleasant female voice came from the shipyard.

“You sure act fast. You completed my commission before even those two little fellows. It seems you’re not a disgrace to Old Abyss after all.”

Following this voice, Enos, a female elf with long silver hair, stepped out of the shipyard while yawning.

“Since you’ve completed my commission, I will give you an opportunity to cross that threshold as promised,” Enos said. With a wave of her hand, the Undying Tentacle in Shi Feng’s bag appeared in her palm. Then, she raised her other hand and presented a fruit that oozed near-liquid Eternal Energy to Shi Feng. “This is the Abyssal Fruit. It can greatly increase your chances of crossing that threshold. However, this fruit can only be stored for three days once it leaves my hand, so you’d best search for a Promotion Land quickly.

“But considering that you’ve completed my commission so quickly, I can do you a favor and send you to a place near one of Old Abyss’s Promotion Lands right now. However, I cannot guarantee whether you can return from there alive.

“I’m very busy, so you only have one minute to consider.”

As Enos finished speaking, system notifications entered Shi Feng’s ears.
