Chapter 593: The Annihilation Dimension
Bassedo knew that secret place was too dangerous for a newly risen god like him. At least one had to reach the level of a mid-tier god to be qualified to explore it, and he didn’t know how much longer it would take him to reach that level.
To avoid waiting too long, when those coordinates might change, it was better to exchange them for resources that would help him establish his own god kingdom right now.
Among the true gods he knew, Donald was undoubtedly an excellent choice. Not only was he relatively trustworthy, but he was also only at the level of a lower-tier god. No matter how talented he was, it would still take a considerable amount of time to reach mid-tier god status. By then, he might already have succeeded in ascending to become a lower-tier god, and they could explore that secret place together!
Moreover, Donald had offered him conditions he couldn’t refuse—a naturally stable demi-plane with great potential!
With such a demi-plane, Bassedo was confident he could complete the process of establishing his god kingdom ten years earlier and meet the requirements to ascend to kingship!
That’s why information about this secret place ended up in Donald’s hands.
Although Bassedo had made a good plan, he didn’t realize that Donald possessed powerful artifacts of higher rank, not just one, meaning his strength was far beyond what it seemed on the surface!
For generally risky secret places that didn’t exceed the level of mid-tier gods, they were basically safe for Donald. Even those dangerous places meant for higher-tier gods could be explored with caution.
So, it was likely impossible to wait until he became a lower-tier god before exploring together!
After confirming the accuracy of the coordinates, Donald’s Punishment Avatar stepped forward first, entering the entrance of that secret path with a dim golden divine glow.
The Natural Guardian Avatar, acting as support, waited outside for half a day. After detecting no abnormalities, it followed into the entrance.
Through the connection between the avatars, the Natural Guardian Avatar quickly determined that the other avatar had already advanced hundreds of kilometers ahead. Traveling such a distance in half a day was already very slow for a true god. In the void, one breath could cover even greater distances!
However, considering the complex and rugged terrain—filled with obstacle-like, rock-hard floating objects—traveling that far in half a day showed Donald’s Punishment Avatar’s exceptional abilities.
The Nature Guardian avatar pursued the traces left by the Calamity Avatar, rushing forward at full speed to join forces, while the Calamity Avatar ahead continued its journey without pause.
This intricately winding path, too complex even for descriptions like “nine bends and eighteen turns,” was indeed not something ordinary people could navigate. Only beings with divine memories and analytical abilities far surpassing those of ordinary mortals could figure it out. Thanks to their powerful computational powers as deities, Donald had recorded every environment he had passed through, just like clearing a maze in a game.
Even so, without the correct route provided by Thubasedo, Donald estimated that to traverse this secret path, he would either need to use the Book of Truth to scan the entire meteorite region to quickly deduce the right path, or else it would take at least two to three years of exploration to reach the destination.
After the Calamity Avatar of Donald spent nearly a whole day finally reaching the exit at the other end of the secret path, it cautiously peeked ahead before quickly retreating back to the exit.
Once the Nature Guardian avatar, who had come to provide support, arrived, Donald exchanged information about the situation ahead before stepping forward.
As soon as he left the secret path, he saw that beyond the endless meteorite belt lay a void. Within this void was a massive vortex resembling a gray cloud, with extremely strong fluctuations in spatial energy. Visible spatial cracks darted between the gray cyclones like black lightning, and it seemed as though there was a world hidden within the cyclones. Although even divine vision couldn’t render it clearly, Donald quickly deduced that it was indeed a plane.
Moreover, it was an annihilation plane that had partially begun to fade, which explained the formation of such a spatial annihilation zone on its periphery. The area where the spatial cracks were located was still relatively less dangerous; the closer one got to the space where annihilation occurred, the more lethal it became—even higher gods couldn’t survive there for long.
“It’s indeed an annihilation plane!”
Seeing such a dangerous scene, Donald wasn’t afraid at all; instead, he smiled excitedly.
With the existence of an annihilation plane, it proved that annihilation crystals must also exist—only they required risk to obtain!
“And judging from this, the annihilation phenomenon in this annihilation plane only started appearing in the past few thousand years. That means I still have at least hundreds of years to explore. Who knows? Besides annihilation crystals, there might be other unexpected treasures inside!”
With the Nature Guardian avatar guarding the outside, Donald could confidently enter such a perilous place as the annihilation plane to explore.
Although the Nature Guardian Avatar does not possess the physical Book of Truth like the Punishment Avatar, it still has a projection of the Book of Fate, along with two true divine artifacts: the Whip of Order and the Gate of Chaos. Since Donald needed a high-tier divine artifact to suppress the divine kingdom during the time when the avatar was out adventuring to prevent any mishaps, and the Book of Truth was more suitable for dealing with dangerous situations, the high-tier divine artifact, the Book of Fate, remained in his hands. Even if it is just a projection, it is still a projection of a high-tier divine artifact—far surpassing ordinary low-tier divine artifacts, not to mention having a powerful mid-tier divine artifact like the Whip of Order at his disposal! Whether it’s beings from the star realms or other true gods, as long as they haven’t reached the peak of mid-tier gods, even a powerful entity of mid-tier god strength can be matched by the Nature Guardian Avatar alone; if it can’t be defeated, there’s no problem escaping using various methods. As for the Punishment Avatar, once it enters the Annihilation Realm, even high-tier gods would likely hesitate to pursue it without strong protective measures. It’s easy for true gods to destroy a realm, but encountering a naturally occurring spatial realm collapsing and being annihilated—something that happens only once in ten thousand years—is something they avoid like snakes and scorpions! This is similar to the principle that fortresses are easier to breach from within. After preparing mentally, the Punishment Avatar relied on the divine light of the Book of Truth to protect itself as it entered the gray cloud vortex surrounding the Annihilation Realm. The spatial rifts that appeared suddenly earlier were no longer a difficult threat for Donald; back when he was outside the passage to the Totem Continent Realm and hadn’t yet reached the legendary realm, he could hold his own for a while—let alone now that he has become a true god! With the strength of a lower-tier god avatar and the protection of a high-tier divine artifact, it was easy to survive the outer region of the gray cloud vortex. Here, the likelihood of spatial rifts appearing was almost non-existent, and this was also the limit of Basedo’s path forward. Going any further, even with the defensive low-tier divine artifact armor crafted with Donald’s help, he wouldn’t dare take another step given the dense array of spatial rifts ahead!
