CHAPTER 784: CHAPTER 784: FINALLY KNOW THE REASON

Light shimmered, and upon the Plane Transmission Array, Fang Jie’s figure appeared.

"I really have an ill fate with the City of Death; every visit seems to bring some trouble."

Fang Jie murmured to himself, reflecting on his last visit, which was fairer—he had only encountered some thugs creating trouble. They had tried to use the City’s unique rules to plot against him, but fortunately, he had been warned in advance.

This time, violence had erupted directly, and it had involved Beastmen with the Light attribute, no less.

He truly couldn’t fathom how they had managed to reach the City of Death or why these Beastmen were looking to stir up trouble there. Clearly, causing an incident in the bustling area of the City of Death would attract unwanted attention and make it difficult for him to escape with his life.

It was truly incomprehensible, and Fang Jie was left speechless in his thoughts.

The Wild Boar Man he had encountered before was no simple opponent either; his strength was a natural counter to Fang Jie’s. If it weren’t for the fact that the Wild Boar Man’s comprehension of Laws didn’t match Fang Jie’s, this battle would have been much troublesome.

If the opponent had been any stronger, Fang Jie might not have been able to mobilize his own bones.

Reliant solely on other Laws, his combat ability was not particularly significant.

Death Touch was powerful, but once the enemy was prepared, it wasn’t easy to succeed. It was usually a case of seizing an opportunity for a stealth attack and considering it an achievement if he could utilize it even once in battle.

His Dead Soul Bone Dragon had died completely in the last fight and had not yet recovered; otherwise, it might have been of some use.

Had he known this would happen, he would have waited another two days; by then, his Dead Soul Bone Dragon would have revived.

Indeed, he had been too impatient.

"Fang Jie, what happened? You look like you’ve been in a battle," Qin Lan approached. She had been waiting for him here all along, knowing that Fang Jie’s trip wouldn’t take long, and had decided to work in the vicinity.

"How did you know? I cleaned up thoroughly."

Fang Jie was surprised; he had cleared all traces from himself. Even if the Law Enforcement Team had found him, they couldn’t have evidence of the altercation. How had he been seen through so swiftly?

After all, Qin Lan had just reached Gold level, far from Legendary.

"How could I not notice?," Your eyes are always different after a fight. You seem like you were ambushed, even your skin and bones are still somewhat tense."

Fang Jie usually had a somewhat lazy demeanor, and his muscles would never be completely tensed.

Only before and after battles would there be such instinctual changes. As Fang Jie’s close companion, Qin Lan was very familiar with these shifts. Fang Jie himself wasn’t even aware of this habit.

"Ha, is that so? I’ll have to pay more attention in the future."

"Pay attention to what? You haven’t told me what happened this time."

Fang Jie straightforwardly spoke, "I was attacked by a Beastman; I can’t figure out what really happened." After narrating the incident, it was Qin Lan who seemed worried.

"Then let’s not visit the City of Death for a while, maybe we can inquire on discussion forums."

Fang Jie nodded but didn’t seem overly concerned.

After collecting the blueprint, Fang Jie let the Cabinet handle the production and arrangements. As for himself, he returned to his previous lifestyle pattern.

Although a Plane Detector was pricier than a Plane Shield, it needed to cover the entire plane, and far fewer were required.

Just inserting a few in different directions was sufficient. But Plane Shields were different; they needed to be updated and cover the entire Divine Domain. The quantity and cost were considerable.

Even if the Divine Domain had its shielding function that could maximize the effects of the Plane Shield, covering the entire Plane still required an enormous number.

Previous versions couldn’t be disassembled back into materials and would go to waste.

Perhaps he should open a shop in the City of Death to sell off these obsolete items.

Eventually, Fang Jie realized why so many shops in the City of Death had so many finished products. It seemed they were all leftovers from updates and upgrades, and there were likely places specializing in buying these items.

A few days later, Fang Jie’s Dead Soul Bone Dragon was revived.

It seemed that in the future, he really needed to be more careful as it took a month for the creature to revive after dying.

Sometimes, a lot could happen in a month.

However, this day, Fang Jie noticed that the temple had begun to glow. "Strange, what’s happened? The Cloud God is personally getting in touch." Since the formation of the Divine Domain, gods could not freely enter it with their powers.

This time, although there was light, it was not the god’s powers entering but rather a request for contact.

Fang Jie approached the temple and chose to accept; then, information appeared before him.

"Struggle for otherworlds, huh? There really are such events; no wonder Camps are needed. It seems that even within the All Heavens Hunting Ground, the relationships between different Camps are not good, and perhaps even within the same Camp similar scenarios could unfold."

Fang Jie finally understood what the Beastman attack had been about; it was just his misfortune.

The gods of the Undead Camp had discovered a vast world and sought to conquer it.

However, when development began, it turned out another Divine Race from the All Heavens Hunting Ground was also expanding there—belonging to the Beastman Camp. Neither side had considered cooperation, given their unfortunate past relations.

Consequently, instead of jointly fighting the natives, a three-sided battle ensued.

Gradually, the natives were subdued, turning the conflict into one between each other. This information was a summoning to battle, though not mandatory.

"With gods involved, there is, naturally, danger. However, there are rules regarding gods—they cannot easily harm those beneath them. So, as long as one doesn’t offend them, and with the protection of one’s own god, it’s quite safe."

At worst, it would be a matter of being surrounded, and Fang Jie was least afraid of that.

"The rewards for this time are quite generous, especially those Divine Power Crystals. It seems I should take the risk."

After some thought, Fang Jie decided to participate. In any case, this was an opportunity for further advancement. He had been considering his next course of action, and now an opportunity had presented itself.

With his Divine Domain, the gods couldn’t forcefully summon him anymore.

Past scenarios where ordinary Demigods were conscripted did not apply to Elites like him. With a Divine Domain, the prospects of becoming a god were significant; in the future, he might even become a colleague.

It appeared there were also rules among gods prohibiting wanton interferences with such individuals.

Of course, if he were to provoke or offend a god, then being killed would be his own fault.
