Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead
Chapter 791 - 348: Saint Heir_3
The Peaceful Sect and the Paradise Church have already joined forces with the Bright Society. Their people in the Desolate Realm will surely cooperate with the Bright Society’s arrangements in the Realm of Reason.
Taking them out will disrupt the Bright Society’s plans, increase the Sea Giant’s stacking, and conveniently do a favor for Yu Na, making it a three-pronged advantage.
Yu Na said, "Thank you, but it’s not just me they’re targeting; you are actually their biggest target."
Wu Chang curiously asked, "Me?"
He was worrying about how to cause trouble for the Peace Church, not expecting that they’d rush to deliver themselves. Was it Leman who knew his eye was about to expire and sent someone to deliver another one to him?
Yu Na: "Just a few days ago, the Saint Heir election of the Peace Church concluded, with the first Saint Heir candidate winning with an absolute lead."
"The Saint Heir selection was originally supposed to last until before the World Dungeon, but the fourth Saint Heir candidate, Fire Master, with the greatest potential, and the second Saint Heir candidate, Murphy, with strong immediate combat power, both died at your hands, leaving the election without suspense."
Wu Chang asked in confusion, "What about the third Saint Heir candidate?"
If he remembered correctly, the third Saint Heir candidate was the Secret Ceremony Master, who did not die in the Silent Route Dungeon.
The Secret Ceremony Master’s ability was strong, not inferior to Fire Master and Murphy, so he should have some competitiveness as well.
Yu Na said, "The third Saint Heir candidate lost to Sword Star in the dungeon a while ago, and he even disrupted the Peace Church’s long-invested dungeon, yielding nothing. Although he left the dungeon alive, he withdrew from the election long ago."
Wu Chang clicked his tongue, "So this newly appointed Saint Heir is planning to make a move on me?"
If calculated, the second, third, and fourth Saint Heir candidates were all personally taken down by him. In the Peaceful Sect’s Saint Heir election, he was the MVP, and the current Saint Heir was just the beneficiary by default.
Why is it that the beneficiary by default comes into power and the first thing is to retaliate against the contributors—true example of biting the hand that feeds them.
Yu Na guessed what Wu Chang was thinking and said:
"The current Saint Heir of the Peace Church has no direct conflict with you, but aside from him and his backers, other forces within the Peaceful Sect want you dead."
"Furthermore, according to our informant, Leman issued a decree asking to take action against you."
"Therefore, at his inauguration, the Saint Heir announced that he would lead Peaceful Sect members to hunt you down."
Wu Chang snorted dismissively and said:
"I hope he’s not just trying to increase his support rate with a random promise."
Yu Na noticed Wu Chang’s nonchalance and reminded him:
"I know you took down Murphy in the Cursed Dungeon, but regardless of the special rules of the Cursed Dungeon, Murphy might not have been at his full strength."
"Even if you defeated Murphy at his peak, the first Saint Heir’s strength is close to Murphy’s, so do not underestimate him. The position of Saint Heir is not a simple one."
Intrigued by Yu Na’s words, Wu Chang asked:
"Tell me more."
Yu Na said solemnly:
"The Saint Heirs of various sects are the people closest to the Gods. They can borrow some of the abilities of the Gods and—if necessary—serve as a clone for the Gods’ descent."
Serve as a clone for the Gods’ descent.
After hearing this, Wu Chang appeared contemplative and then asked, "How many eyes does this first Saint Heir have?"
Yu Na was momentarily stunned, unable to follow Wu Chang’s abrupt line of thinking, and uncertainly said:
"Probably two."
Wu Chang nodded, as long as he’s not blind.
"You mentioned earlier that the Saint Heirs of various sects are the people closest to the Gods. Does Revelation also have a Saint Heir?"
He remembered encountering a player named Ma Jia on the Silent Route whose strength could fully qualify him as a Saint Heir candidate.
Speaking of the Saint Heir, Yu Na’s expression turned a bit peculiar, and she said:
"Revelation doesn’t have a Saint Heir, but I heard Yan Xin mention once that the True God doesn’t value the enhancement brought by the position of Saint Heir. It seems she gave the Saint Heir position to an indigenous person from a plane within a dungeon."
An indigenous person from a dungeon plane.
Wu Chang’s expression also became unnatural. Could the person Kristen wanted him to help be Revelation’s Saint Heir?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Only Revelation’s Saint Heir would be worth Kristen’s significant efforts.
He immediately dropped the topic, fearing that if it continued, Yu Na might accidentally reveal something secretive and suffer divine punishment afterward.
Perhaps Wu Chang and Erin were too hasty recently, having dealt with all troubles in one go, for the next few days, their lives were especially peaceful.
Wu Chang and Erin took some time to return to the Hymn Company, where they saw that He Yun had already established himself within the company thanks to his superior skills and Schultz as a mentor, gaining an initial grasp of the company’s operations.
There had been another breakthrough in the development of the Divine Mecha, and the custom Divine Mecha promised to him could indeed be completed before entering the World Dungeon.
Over a few days, the Hymn Company had accumulated another batch of the Power of Faith, and Wu Chang suggested performing the Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery on He Yi as well.
According to the All-Knowing Crystal, the Power inside the Talent Zone is a transcendent Talent already residing within the human body. With this perspective, his brother-in-law who achieved physical sainthood surely had significant potential.
Nevertheless, He Yun was in no rush, having conducted tests on He Yi that showed his Talent was just short of the ninth-level modification threshold.
She prepared to conduct further research on the Spiritual Power Activation Surgery, waiting for a breakthrough to increase the modification limit before letting He Yi attempt it.
Time flew by, and only one day remained until the True Dungeon opened.
Members of the Management Bureau who went to Yanjing for training had returned to their original places, bringing liveliness back to the previously quiet Wanghai Branch.
The qualifying dungeon everyone was about to face was a high-difficulty True Dungeon, assuring that many would forever remain in the dungeon, unable to move to the next step.
At the Wanghai Branch, Chief Gao hosted a party, booking the best restaurant in Wanghai City and allowing members to revel to their heart’s content.
The celebration continued until midnight, and with the chiming of the clock at zero, the Bureau members, who’d resolved to advance to the World Dungeon, raised their glasses to bid farewell to their colleagues and entered the Abyssal Game.
