Chapter 2798: Transfer

The real world.

It was an ordinary day.

But the official game forum was buzzing like a holiday, with server traffic hitting its limits and various trending topics constantly updating.

The Western District Federation was up to something big!

A massive change occurred in the human world.

The special barrier defense above the clouds in the Western District Federation– the sky network– was fully revealed to humanity.

An integrated offensive and defensive interstellar weapon.

The Sky Array.

The Western District Federation made a formal announcement, stating that in response to the recent frequent occurrences of game invasions into the real world, they had established the Sky Network. This defensive barrier was capable of providing immediate preemptive warnings and location tracking in the event of game-related threats, and, in coordination with human special event investigation teams, could quickly eliminate potential dangers.

Immediately, the internet was flooded with discussions about the Sky Barrier.

Most of the public, eager to jump on the bandwagon, believed that the Western District Federation had been secretly preparing for years and had finally unveiled their big move.

However, a portion of the players sensed a looming crisis.

Of course, if Fang Heng had seen the space above the planet at that moment, he would have immediately recognized it.

The so-called Sky Barrier…

It was remarkably similar to the high-tier spatial prism barrier of the game’s spawn creatures.

…

The death realm.

Fang Heng first returned to the Zombie Apocalypse, handed the cocoon that Su Ziyue had left behind after her death to Qiu Yaokang for analysis, and then immediately went back to the death realm to find Teacher Gu Luo to deliver the mission.

“Hahahaha! Fang Heng! Well done! I knew I didn’t misjudge you!”

“I’ve already heard the news about the supplies moved from the Holy Realm. Hahaha, I heard they filled up eight warehouses. Great job!”

Teacher Gu Luo, upon hearing that Fang Heng had successfully defeated the Holy Court and even caused such chaos in the Holy Realm, was naturally overjoyed. He patted Fang Heng on the shoulder, clearly pleased with his achievements.

Fang Heng had far exceeded the expectations for this mission.

It was a massive overachievement!

It felt amazing!

Teacher Gu Luo secretly envied Ji Xiaobo for being able to work with Fang Heng on such a grand project in the Holy Realm.

Unfortunately, he still had a mission from the undead council to attend to and couldn’t leave.

Fang Heng had destroyed two game worlds of the Holy Court, sabotaged a large-scale descent device of the Holy Court, wrecked many temples of faith the Holy Court had set up in the Holy Realm, and completely emptied out the twelve sub-god pillar temples of the Holy Court in the Holy Realm!

If it weren’t for the orders from the undead council to remain in the death realm, he would’ve gone to see the aftermath with his own eyes.

It was rare for Teacher Gu Luo to be this happy, and he generously rewarded Fang Heng with the highest rank of King of Gods’ points.

[Hint: Judging… The player has earned 68,631W King of Gods’ points as a reward.]

A bountiful harvest!

Fang Heng was overjoyed as he saw a wave of King of Gods’ points flood in.

Teacher Gu Luo was reliable.

It was as though he had received a double reward–one from the undead council and the Holy Court faction quests, and the other from Teacher Gu Luo’s commission mission.

Double the King of Gods’ points.

A huge windfall!

Over six hundred million King of Gods’ points was more than enough to complete the transformation of all his zombie clones into Lickers.

Not just Lickers, but the original devouring body transformation could also cover a significant portion of the zombie clones.

Fang Heng thought to himself.

“By the way, Fang Heng, while you were away, we’ve continued the investigation into the orb protective net. Unfortunately, there are still no new clues.”

Despite the intense battle in the Holy Realm, only a day had passed.

Teacher Gu Luo wiped the excitement off his face and became serious. “Right now, we still have a lot of troubles. Progress on the Empress’ ruins is slow. If possible, we’d like to enlist your zombie clones to help speed up the exploration of the ruins, particularly the Fern Bowl area.”

“No need,” Fang Heng shook his head. “Teacher Gu Luo, during my time in the Holy Realm, I found something useful. If everything goes well, we might not even need the orb protective net lost in the death realm.”

Teacher Gu Luo’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Fang Heng. “Really?”

“Yes, but I’ll need a few things, and it’ll take some time to go deeper into the Abyss of Despair,” Fang Heng said. Then, leaning in, he whispered a few words into Teacher Gu Luo’s ear.

Teacher Gu Luo nodded, “Alright, leave it to me. I’ll report to the undead council immediately and help you apply for a spatial scroll.”

…

Three days later.

The death realm.

Abyss of Despair.

Despite advancing to the Great Sage in the Holy Realm, Fang Heng still spent a considerable amount of time diving deeper into the Abyss of Despair.

Finally.

Ahead of him, the altar and the massive phantom of the orb slowly came into view.

Fang Heng tilted his head, observing the death realm orb suspended above the sacrificial altar in the distance.

The orb looked the same as it had when he left last time, showing no signs of change.

“I hope this works.”

Fang Heng glanced at the orb protective net in his backpack, took a deep breath, and slowly extended his right hand toward the orb.

Whoosh!

A barrier net appeared in the palm of Fang Heng’s hand. With a forceful flick of his wrist, he sent the protective shield toward the orb.

Pa!

The shield landed with precise and effortless precision on the outer layer of the orb, completely enveloping it.

It worked!

Fang Heng immediately clenched his fist, excitement flashing in his eyes.

The moment the protective net enveloped the orb, a significant portion of the death realm orb’s power was immediately contained, and the opposing strength spilling out from the orb was reduced by at least half!

With the weakening of the opposing force, Fang Heng took a step forward, moving even closer to the orb.

He stopped when he was only about 20 meters away from it.

Fang Heng raised his head, focusing intently on the orb, his hands coming together in front of him to form an imprint.

Whoosh!

The Book of the Dead suddenly levitated in front of Fang Heng.

With a mental push, Fang Heng summoned four black soul chains from the Book of the Dead. The chains shot toward the orb on the sacrificial altar, reaching out with swift precision.

The four soul chains stopped just half a meter from the orb, hovering in midair, pointing directly at it.

Although the chains didn’t physically touch the orb, they were already able to exert some control over it.

Whoosh…

A dark rune mark slowly began to appear on the surface of the orb.
