VIP Chapter 574: The Galaxy Record (1)
It was night when Li Wei’qi entered the 330th floor of Zero Demon City.
She looked tall and slender in her high heels and military uniform.
Each floor of Zero Demon City was “under construction,” resembling vast, clear blue skies with white clouds, and grasslands stretching to the horizon.
A strong wind rustled the grass in the same manner everywhere.
Each floor felt like an unreal, beautiful dream.
Lying on the endless grass, gazing up at the starry sky,
Standing beneath a vast and clear starry sky, she walked through the grass, her fingers brushing against the waist-high grass. In a gust of wind, she adjusted her hat.
Step by step, she left behind a trail of footprints on the grassland.
“Heaven’s flowers are blooming in full splendor~”
“The bells of hell will never ring again.”
She hummed
This was a song written for her by Reviers, representing the new world that the “Goddess” believed she had created.
However, the way Li Wei’qi hummed it was far more “flippant” than the sacred version by Reviers.
She had added many key changes to the originally sacred hymn and altered its unchanging rhythm.
Although she held no “musical instruments,” her rendition turned the “hymn” into something akin to a song sung with wild abandon by a guitarist at a bar counter.
However…
If anyone were fortunate enough to hear Li Wei’qi’s short humming, they would surely not find the song “unpleasant.”
Her mature voice, with a hint of “magnetic” undertones, possessed a unique charm. If she were to sing it like this in a noisy bar, she would undoubtedly silence the surroundings in an instant.
Passing through the grass, singing such a song, she seemed to be mourning this Dungeon, or perhaps… mourning this entire world.
After all…
On the fingertips of her white gloves as she brushed through the grass, were solidified blood clots faintly dusted with feathers.
Her black military uniform was stained with large patches of dark blood, as if it had seeped into every cotton fiber.
The white bandages on her eyes were also smudged with a faint layer of blood, which had even seeped into the hollows of her eye sockets.
“The ancient flute’s melody is as melodious as the dawn… Oops.”
Li Wei’qi’s melodious dirge stopped halfway.
Without looking back, she already felt a scorching heat behind her.
Boom—
The moment she turned, a blast of heat hit her, only to be blocked by a wall as “invisible” as air in front of her.
“What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here. Miss Iaar. How do you like this new ‘life’ I’ve given you? Or should I say… ‘dragon life’?”
She stood on the ground that was scorched by her fiery attack.
To one side of her, the grassland was completely burned, emitting a charred smell; to the other side, it was lush, tall grass, as if still full of life.
“Why are you blocking my path? We have no quarrel, and I could even be considered your ‘benefactor’! Shouldn’t you be dealing with Daisianwei, or Carver?”
Li Wei’qi tilted her head up, her “eyes” beneath the bandages meeting the eyes of the giant Fire Dragon.
“Moreover… I thought you would be on the battlefield over there.”
“I have pondered this question. You appear to have gifted me the Green Ghost Stone, which frees me from the shackles of Death Hall, but in reality, that stone is merely draining the Dungeon’s power.”
“Hmm?”
“Although it seems to have achieved greater ‘freedom,’ and can disrupt the monopoly of Death Hall and the Adventurer’s Guild with methods beyond Daisianwei and Carver’s expectations, for the Dungeon itself, the dangerous and unreasonable strength expansion, for Adventurers, it’s actually…”
The Fire Dragon’s tail swept across the ground as it stepped closer to Li Wei’qi.
In front of the Fire Dragon, which was as tall as a three or four-story building, Li Wei’qi appeared excessively “small,” almost an invisible speck in its presence.
“…Abhorrent. And finally, such a Dungeon, even without Daisianwei and Carver’s sanctions, would inevitably head towards… destruction.”
Iaar’s voice, transmitted through the mechanical Fire Dragon, resounded.
Clap. Clap. Clap.
Li Wei’qi showed no surprise, as if she had expected Iaar to reach this conclusion, and began to clap her hands.
“Ah. Miss Iaar, you are indeed too intelligent. You’ve discovered a problem that none of the monsters who used that stone realized.”
“We are merely your tools. Your objective…”
“Is to delay Death Hall’s reign, and use this to curb the Adventurer’s Guild’s monopoly—of course, to put it simply, you just want to preserve…”
Li Wei’qi opened her gloved hand. Behind her was the door to the next floor.
“This place. Zero Demon City, now Zero Heaven. A ‘coincidental’ place within the ‘setup’ of the deepest Dungeon, due to the whims of a certain primordial demon.”
This was the “door” on the final floor of Zero Heaven.
A very special “door.”
It was tightly locked with a massive padlock, making it appear not easily “shaken.”
However…
In front of the door was a vast lake, and the door seemed to stand between the lake and the sky, creating a door in the space between the sky and the earth.
In Zero Heaven, all “doors” appeared in the middle of endless grasslands, endless lakes, or endless forests, merging with the sky.
It was like a small “backdoor” to this world.
Within the giant Fire Dragon, Iaar remained silent after being interrupted, waiting quietly.
“There’s nothing to hide. My objective is simple: I want to go to the deepest part of the Dungeon, to a ‘conceptual place’ that originally ‘did not exist’.”
“Unbelievable.”
“You couldn’t have guessed this alone, could you? I’m wondering, did Will Systom tell you this information?”
“Yes. Even I didn’t expect him to be right about everything…”
“Sigh, after all, when I first tried to recruit him, he was so, so vigilant. From that moment on, I suspected he had figured something out.”
Li Wei’qi sighed.
But she made no move.
She did nothing at all.
The Empress of Zero Heaven was not here. All she had to do was reach that final door, or kill the dragon before her, and she would have conquered this place.
This was actually a very simple task for her, yet she did not act.
“If you want to fight, then attack. However, I regret to say that I will not kill you. I am waiting for a specific time…”
“Waiting for them to conquer Death Hall? If so, this door in Zero Heaven will surely lead to the deepest part.”
“Yes. So, do we still need to fight? Or perhaps…”
Li Wei’qi tilted her head and smiled, extending a hand towards the Fire Dragon.
“Shall we go together and see what the deepest part is like?”
