The dragon awakened, and the sudden discovery that the trace of the Six Great Divine Domains, which had vanished for many years, appeared indeed surprised Chen Chu.
This indicated that the strongest of the Human Race in this divine realm should still be alive.
However, these details were not important to Chen Chu; what mattered was that he had discovered the 'origin' of this world and now needed to find a way to collect it.
This would allow him to break through to the true spirit pinnacle and go beyond the primordial stage in one breath.
Chen Chu put down the gilded book in his hands and looked at the purple-haired girl across from him, slowly saying, “Emitia, let’s go underground and kill some monsters to see.”
“Go to the underground labyrinth?” The purple-haired girl was taken aback.
“That's right.”
Chen Chu nodded, “As a contractor, I feel it's my duty to help you grow quickly and become the strongest valkyrie.”
The sudden change of topic left Emitia, whose mental power had not yet recovered, feeling a bit dazed. Furthermore, didn’t they say there would be no fighting when they signed the contract earlier?
“…But Chu, the talent power I've accumulated right now isn't enough to enter valkyrie form. My strength is only equivalent to an ordinary three-star hero.”
“It’s fine. Once we enter the labyrinth and kill more monsters, you’ll gain the talent power,” Chen Chu reassured her.
His easy entry into this world, without being repelled by its rules, relied on the contract with Emitia.
Chen Chu could clearly sense that a layer of barrier-like contract power covered his body, with a strength equivalent to the ninth level of heaven.
As long as his power did not exceed the upper limit of the contract barrier, he would not be 'discovered.'
Moreover, as Emitia’s strength increased, the upper limit of the contract would also rise, which was why Chen Chu planned to take her to the underground labyrinth for 'upgrading.'
This would also serve to verify his earlier assumptions.
……
“We need a warrior equipped with heavy armor; three-star strength is acceptable, as long as they can bear a Heavy Shield in front.”
“The Swamp Crocodile team needs two ordinary strength warriors to help carry supplies.”
“The Sax adventure team is recruiting. Our target this time is the elite demons that appear on the nineteenth underground level, with strength above four stars…”
On the World Tree Plaza, which stood over 100,000 meters tall, countless figures carrying weapons moved about, shouting loudly.
At the same time, the square was lined with shops selling weapons, armor, daily necessities, and medicines, while the busiest places were the taverns and restaurants.
Walking on the 'street' that was at least ten thousand meters wide, Chen Chu looked around with interest.
Compared to the urgent atmosphere of the Human Race logistics city back then, although this world was facing the invasion of demon gods, the overall vibe was much more relaxed, reminiscent of an adventurous otherworld.
Next to Chen Chu, the tall purple-haired girl, who stood at 1.75 meters in her high heels, asked, “Chu, are we just going in without any preparations?”
Chen Chu glanced at the girl and replied nonchalantly, “Do you think we need any preparations?”
…… The purple-haired girl paused.
Well, with Chen Chu's terrifying power that disregarded the rules of phantom beasts and did not return to his initial form after descending, Emitia felt that even the demon gods might not be his match.
The entrance to the underground labyrinth was at the roots of the World Tree, resembling a high stone doorway imbedded in the trunk, with numerous warriors coming in and out at all times.
Those who didn’t know would think it was a cave tourism spot.
But as Chen Chu followed behind Emitia and stepped into the gray stone door, he sharply sensed that they had crossed a layer of world barrier.
In the 'narrow' passage, which was about one kilometer wide, out of a team of more than twenty people, a golden-haired young man in luxurious silver battle armor suddenly brightened his eyes.
