[Ding! Your Dungeon has been destroyed.]
[Please wait till the dungeon fully dissolves before you place down a new one.]
"???"
Caelus wore a baffled expression on his face seeing this.
Just what was StarforgeEmpress feeding her people?
He had severely underestimated her and her planet.
To think there was someone on that planet who could clear a dungeon in a few seconds went beyond his expectations.
On the planet Aethoria, StarforgeEmpress stood before the destroyed dungeon that was still dissolving.
Being a King-Rank gate, it would take a few hours before it fully disappeared.
"Who dares to place down a King-Rank dungeon on my planet?" Stella clicked her tongue in annoyance.
She was just about to go take a hot bath, but someone was targeting her planet?
She felt something ominous coming from this dungeon, so she used her Ace-Rank strength to directly deal with it.
"Celestial Eyes."
The following moment, her eyes flashed red and golden as she stared at the dungeon.
"Show me who it is."
Red and golden energy swirled out of her eyes and shot into the dungeon, a mental link immediately formed between the energy and herself.
Her vision shifted to a god’s viewpoint and began scaling out of the planet.
It crossed a vast distance, reaching toward another world and began zooming in on what appeared to be an apartment.
However, just before she could fully see it, her vision began rapidly glitching and breaking apart.
"Huh?"
Stella was surprised seeing this.
Her Celestial Eyes were not working?
As the thought crossed her mind, she put more force into her eyes.
She really wanted to see who it was.
BOOM!
However, as soon as she tried, the world around her completely turned black and her visual sensory completely vanished.
What replaced it were two cold draconic eyes staring down at her.
"???"
Stella’s expression changed.
Cold sweat broke out from her as she tried to stop the Celestial Eye, but it was useless.
Her connection to the skill was cut off.
"Fuck... Just what the hell is this?"
She felt an immense amount of pressure just staying here.
But before it could increase, everything disappeared and her eyes deactivated on their own.
She was back where she stood.
"Did I just mess with a being that I shouldn’t have?"
Stella clicked her tongue.
Just her luck.
She was still sweating from her encounter, but as the ruler of this planet, she couldn’t back down.
It was that being’s fault for entering her domain unannounced and trying to steal her mana.
Back on Earth, atop a tall skyscraper, a man covered in gold from head to toe grinned as he stared at the sky.
"The Origin paved a path to the stars, and now we have visitors from afar staring down at this planet. How impressive."
He clasped his hands behind his back.
"Now can you reach the Tier 2 World all by yourself, Origin? Or do I have to step in and tell you about that place?"
"Perhaps the interstellar visitors might know a thing or two about it."
His eyes flickered with light as he continued staring at the sky.
After the dungeon got destroyed, Caelus called Mason and asked for a transfer of funds.
They had received 150 million Origin Credits from the golden chamber for the Master-Rank Grade 5 ores delivered today.
That was the limit his miners could reach at the moment, but as soon as he found extra profession level-up cards, he would be selling King-Rank ores.
He genuinely wondered where Elder Sterling was finding this much Origin Credits.
His own theory was that this was the result of some sort of talent that could produce Origin Credits.
He had never even seen 1 million Origin Credits as a reward once in his life, let alone now.
Shaking his thoughts, he opened the Dungeon Master interface and searched for a new planet.
He cross-checked it with the Ace-Rank beasts he had seen in the global chat.
He didn’t want another incident like the StarforgeEmpress, so he chose a planet that probably had a weak Ace-Rank at best.
[Planet Selected: Verdania]
He began customizing two new dungeons.
It was similar to the last one he made.
In the end, he spent 2M origin credits.
[First Dungeon Total: 1,050,000 Origin Credits]
[Second Dungeon Total: 1,050,000 Origin Credits]
[Dungeons Placed: Planet Verdania]
[Mana Collection: Active]
Caelus grinned with satisfaction at his creations.
These dungeons would be absolute nightmares for anyone trying to clear them.
He turned around and saw Candy still lounging on his sofa while staring at her phone.
Sylvia was on the other hand staring at the TV with a bored expression.
Interestingly, Sylvia didn’t show her yandere side to Candy for some reason.
Perhaps it was because she knew Candy didn’t care much about Caelus or anyone really.
"Hey Candy, you’re wasting your potential in your guild." Caelus decided to say. "You should leave their Regional Lord Territory and join my place, I can arrange a transfer card if you want."
A transfer card was common but valuable, it could be used to transfer someone into a higher Regional Lord Territory if they met the requirements.
This was also how most people entered higher Regional Lord Territories after meeting the threshold.
But they weren’t abundant, you couldn’t just get 100,000 of these all in one go.
And so far, Caelus had never encountered one himself either.
"Perhaps I can do the Void Trial and see if I can get one."
Candy looked up from her phone with her usual flat expression.
"I can’t leave them." She shook her head. "They need me and they’re a part of me."
Caelus was pleasantly surprised hearing this.
He didn’t expect Candy to have such loyalty to her guild.
"Then how about this, you can continue being their guild member but just join my territory?"
Candy thought for a moment.
"But what if they need my help?"
Caelus sighed, she was too attached to her guild wasn’t she?
"You can still help them from my territory, distance doesn’t really matter with the teleportation systems."
Candy considered his words, then pulled out her phone.
"Let me call my guild master."
She stepped aside and made the call.
A few minutes later, she returned with a slight nod.
"He gave me the green light." Candy said. "He even encouraged me to join you, said it would be good for my growth."
"Great, I’ll see if I can get the transfer card from the Void Trials." Caelus nodded with satisfaction.
Speaking of which, the Void Trial reminded him of Faust.
He hadn’t told Sylvia about her yet with all the Corpse Realm situation.
After Candy left, he decided to explicitly tell her.
"What? Faust? That bitch?"
Sylvia was stunned.
"She’s here? And with a World Serpent from the Norse faction?"
"Yeah, I ran into her during the Void Trial." Caelus explained. "She wants an alliance."
"Are you sure she doesn’t have any bad intentions, Caelus?"
Sylvia frowned deeply.
She felt like Faust was playing some sort of tricks, but she wasn’t entirely sure.
"I naturally took account of that." Caelus replied calmly. "An alliance won’t hurt us either way, and Faust has way too many secrets to just let her go."
"True."
Sylvia nodded after thinking it over.
"Let’s see what she has to offer."
At the same time, in Selena’s apartment, she sat alone staring at her phone with a blank expression.
"My son, Leonard. Are you alright in the Abyss?"
A tear fell from her face.
She was here, her daughter was here, yet her oldest was still trapped in the Abyss.
From what she knew, he was safe thanks to a being guarding the place under the command of the Ender of Origin.
But she was restless and uneasy knowing her son was still trapped in that fake world.
"Where are you... Ancestor?"
He was a being that once crossed into that fake world, taking the vampires with him.
She genuinely wondered.
Where was he now?
Could he already be in the real world?
Far away, in a different world, an old man in ancient clothing walked across old and ancient-looking streets.
The architecture seemed to come straight out of a fantasy drama, with pagodas and temples lining the roads.
"I need to find a way back..."
