‘This is something even the gods can’t do.’
‘There aren’t many tokens of the Ancient Nature God left apart from the Golden Scissors. They unexpectedly got their hands on one…’
‘There really is nowhere safe in this world…’
Marvin looked at the shadow of Bamboo disappearing from the World Tree, ruthlessness appearing in his heart.
There would inevitably be a day when he would pull those snakes out of the Ethereal Plane and chop them into countless pieces.
Making snake soup also sounds good.
As for that Bamboo, he would definitely not let go scot-free. After leaving, he would find ways to make her suffer.
He also had a lot of ideas to take revenge on the Twin Snakes Cult. Unfortunately, inside the World Tree domain, Marvin didn’t know that the Twin Snakes Cult was already being met with a lot of troubles.
…
Right now, the most important problem was for Marvin to find a way out of the World Tree domain.
In his original plan, Marvin would cut the rotten leaf and then return to the Decaying Plateau before leaving with the Legends.
But that obviously wouldn’t work now.
Marvin didn’t know what happened outside, but he was certain that the Shadow Prince and the Plague God had interfered.
Whether the Legends could survive would depend greatly on whether the Great Elven King was willing to make a move.
But based on the Great Elven King’s character, he would definitely not sit idle and watch Ivan lose his life. With Owl notifying him, their escape should be taken care of.
The Legends should definitely be able to go back, but Marvin… was in a bit of trouble.
He was trapped in the World Tree’s domain!
If no one came to get him, he wouldn’t be able to return via typically known methods.
But Marvin didn’t need to rely on others for this, because he had his own backup plan.
The [Celestial Stairway].
…
The World Tree wasn’t the only existence linking the multiverse’s planes.
Apart from the World Tree, there was the [Celestial Stairway] and the [River Styx].
Marvin wouldn’t think of using the River Styx. That thing went from the Astral Sea and split into two, one part going to the Abyss while the other part went to Hell, before ultimately converging in a bottomless abyss.
That was also a place where Demons and Devils fought countless bloody battles.
Without the [Boat of the Other Shore], don’t think of crossing the River Styx.
The Celestial Stairway was different. As long as he had the correct number, he could go back to Feinan.
‘If I’m not mistaken, Feinan plane’s code is 0420. As long as I don’t open the wrong door, it shouldn’t be a problem.’
Marvin thought of this and started caressing the World Tree’s surface.
The Celestial Stairway was inside the World Tree.
He just needed to find an entrance.
This was a very long process. Thankfully he had enough water and rations, and the World Tree naturally produced oxygen. He could survive in this place.
A whole week passed quickly.
He finally stood on a strange twig and found the entrance to the Celestial Stairway.
…
While looking for the entrance to the Celestial Stairway, Marvin was also quite bored, and checked his own stats window.
After such a crazy plan, it could be said that his stats window had undergone big changes.
Right at the beginning of the undertaking, he obtained more than eighty thousand battle exp just from shooting the Moss Prison. Along with what he had before, the total already exceeded one hundred ten thousand!
Such a huge amount of experience could let him reach level 15, a powerhouse on the verge of advancing to 4th rank.
But he was baffled by the fact that he couldn’t distribute his experience in the World Tree Domain.
It was probably related to this mysterious place.
But in any case, the experience was his. Once he left, he would be able to distribute it.
If he was lucky, he might advance to 4th rank directly!
In a bit more than two months, he advanced from a defenseless noble to a powerhouse about to reach 4th rank! This was something ordinary people wouldn’t dare imagine.
The training speed of the natives was a lot slower than Marvin’s.
This was a huge advantage.
And apart from a large amount of experience, Marvin gained the fierce [Plane Destroyer]’s title.
This title was similar to [Dragon Slayer] and would automatically be equipped. It was different from low-level titles, as most high-level titles were stackable.
For example, he could have both [Dragon Slayer] and [Plane Destroyer] at the same time.
This was different from [Chaotic Battle Expert] or [Rope Master], which he had to manually equip.
…
[Plane Destroyer]
[Description: You destroyed one of the Underworld’s planes, something many powerhouses have been unable to accomplish. Your actions will make the entire multiverse pay attention to you, because you might be someone drunk on bringing forth destruction. But there is good news. Most inhabitants of your plane (Feinan) believe you are the Savior.]
[Property (1): Planar Core Affinity +1]
[Property (2): World Fame +15]
[Property (3): Underworld Enmity +20]
[Property (4): Dignity (Noble) +30]
…
One title, four properties. And besides the Underworld Enmity, all of them were quite useful.
Hostility from the Underworld was something to be expected, since something like the fall of the Decaying Plateau would clearly be visible from the Evil Spirit Sea.
Many Evil Spirits should have seen Diggles fall past them.
When Marvin shot the Red Dragon, the reason he only gained a bit of Chromatic Dragon Enmity was because no other Dragon actually saw him.
But this time he destroyed the Decaying Plateau in front of the whole Multiverse.
It was obvious that the Underworld Enmity would raise like that.
As for Planar Core Affinity, this was very important.
Marvin opened his right hand, revealing an emerald crystal. This was the Planar Core of the Decaying Plateau.
Marvin had taken so long because he wanted to extract the Decaying Plateau’s Planar Core completely intact.
This thing looked so small, yet inside it were the Plane’s energy and knowledge. This Planar Core Affinity would help Marvin have an easier time controlling it in the future. The prerequisite was that Marvin had enough power to activate it.
From Marvin’s estimations, if he wanted to activate this Planar Core, he would need to at least be a Legend or higher.
Legend Wizards were definitely able to activate a Planar Core because they could already create their own Demi-Planes.
But Marvin wasn’t quite sure about Legend Rangers.
But regardless, Marvin wouldn’t ignore good things.
And of course, there was no need to mention World Fame. After all, Marvin destroyed the Decaying Plateau in front of all of Feinan’s living beings.
Even if it was only an illusion in the sky, and although a lot of people thought it was a hallucination, many people still believed it to be real.
His World Fame kept raising.
‘I became famous this time… I’ll need to disguise myself when I go out in the future.’
Marvin faintly smiled. World Fame was especially beneficial.
As for Dignity, it was also useful. Because the Noble class didn’t gain Skill Points when leveling up, these skills would only slowly increase.
This increase of 30 would make it a lot easier to manage his territory in the future.
The higher Dignity was, the less people would want to go against him. This was the most obvious effect. As for its other effects, Marvin was still only guessing.
/> …
The only thing that disappointed Marvin was that even if he destroyed the plane, the Evil Spirits inhabiting it didn’t count as being killed by him.
They didn’t turn into Marvin’s battle exp, or else with that much exp, Marvin would have directly advanced to Legend.
But regardless, he had earned a lot this time.
Even if the risk was high, the profits were even higher. Furthermore, half of the treasures Owl stole from Diggles’ treasury were Marvin’s!
Thinking of this, he was even more impatient to return to Feinan.
He pushed open that door and entered the World Tree.
It was a gorgeously colored space.
A floating flight of steps was in front of him. At the end of the flight of steps was a door. And on that door was a number.
Marvin intended to step on the Celestial Stairway, but who would have thought that a painting would suddenly fly over?
The man on the painting was very familiar!
‘Wizard God Lance!’ Marvin was very surprised.
But he couldn’t have imagined that what happened next would shock him even more.
Wizard God Lance on the painting suddenly smiled:
“Hello, Marvin.”
Chapter 244: 4th Rank!
Chapter 244: 4th Rank!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Wizard God?
This surprised Marvin.
What shocked him was that the other side was actually talking to him.
In Feinan, paintings often had this mysterious ability. After Marvin transmigrated, he met many similar items, such as the Ghost Hallway’s paintings, and his grandfather’s.
In short, they were often enchanted.
As for why the Wizard God knew his name, Marvin wasn’t too surprised. After all, Feinan’s lore described Lance as something like a God of Creation.
“Hello? Sir Lance…”
Marvin didn’t know if this was the Wizard God himself or some remnant consciousness.
He tried to communicate with him.
But unexpectedly, Lance’s painting suddenly took quite a severe tone.
“You shouldn’t have come to this world!”
“You are a stowaway!”
“You don’t belong here, you should be exiled!”
Marvin held his breath.
The Wizard God on the painting suddenly became extremely sinister.
He instinctively felt something wrong.
“Could it be that you want to defy my words?” The Wizard God coldly declared, “You don’t deserve to step foot on the Celestial Stairway.”
“You should scram to the Void, and disappear along that Underworld Plane!”
Marvin froze.
Was this what the Wizard God thought of him?
He truly didn’t belong to this world, but… How could he know?
The painting kept floating near Marvin as the Wizard God represented in it kept glaring at him harshly.
Suddenly, Marvin had a realization!
‘Damn, I almost fell for that bluff!’
‘I heard there could be some spirit monsters near the Celestial Stairway that could reflect and confound people’s thoughts, but today is the first time I met one here!’
Ruthlessness filled Marvin’s heart as he suddenly stepped on the Celestial Stairway, grabbing that painting.
The “Wizard God” in the painting suddenly panicked. “What do you think you are doing? Quickly let go! You are profaning God Lance’s prestige…”
“Profaning God Lance’s prestige?” Marvin sneered, “Aren’t you the one doing that?”
After saying this, he unhesitantly and ferociously tore the painting apart!
“Woosh!” The painting shattered into pieces, and the “Wizard God” in the painting turned into a weird small thing.
It was a type of Imp. His main body was similar to a painting, and he could change its external appearance to bluff people.
If Marvin hadn’t experienced that test in the Eternal Night Kingdom, and suddenly recalled the existence of those things, he might have truly believed it.
After all, that thing would reflect a part of this heart. The things he saw or heard would be a reflection of his inner heart.
‘Haha… Is there really something to be scared of?’ Marvin laughed at himself.
His transmigration was an unfathomable mystery. Even if he quickly blended in this world thanks to the system, and busied himself with the Great Calamity that was about to happen…
There was still doubt and fear in his heart.
It was hidden deep within, and Marvin tried to not think of it as much as possible… but that didn’t mean they didn’t exist.
Why did he transmigrate? Was this incidental, or was it something planned?
This world was so real. Then why would it appear on Earth as a game?
Marvin wanted to know the answers to all these questions, but nothing could be done to clear them up.
But regardless, Marvin would eventually find the answers!
But not now.
He had to return to Feinan.
Tossing that small thing away, Marvin finally walked up the Celestial Stairway!
…
The Celestial Stairway was a long and twisted Stairway inside the World Tree.
Each door represented a plane.
And among these planes, only Feinan was the Prime Material Plane. The others were all Secondary Material Planes.
There were countless Secondary Material Planes, which also had continents and oceans, countless living beings and races.
When Lance formed the Universe Magic Pool, he only surrounded Feinan. Those Secondary Material Planes didn’t receive the protection and favor from the Universe Magic Pool.
The gods who rose up during the 3rd Era could only develop their own religions in the Secondary Planes.
And these Secondary Planes also had a flaw. The power of Faith that they offered were far from what the Prime Plane would give. This was the main reason why the gods were dissatisfied.
From another point of view, living beings from Secondary Planes had a limit to the power they could reach, and this problem didn’t exist in Feinan.
In short, countless Planes existed under Feinan. Before Marvin transmigrated, the game company released a trailer of the next expansion, the [Planar Wars].
Feinan was the center stage of the multiverse, but the other planes would also have their own stages.
The Planar Wars originated from fights over beliefs, from people thirsting for freedom, from all kinds of ambitions and desires.
The Great Calamity was only the beginning of a chaotic era. Marvin had a premonition: in the future, after Feinan lost the Universe Magic Pool’s protection, they would definitely be involved in the fires of war from the Planar Wars.
To this end, he could only start his preparations early.
…
‘0420…’
‘0420…’
Restraining himself from opening doors to other random planes to take a look, Marvin patiently began looking for Feinan’s symbol.
He kept climbing the Celestial Stairway, passing by dozens of Secondary Planes before finally finding Feinan.
It was a golden door, and once he pushed it open, Marvin would be able to return to Feinan. But if he wanted to come back to the World Tree Domain, he would have to find another token of the Ancient Nature God.
He opened the door without any hesitation.
Then, a dazzling white light blinded him.
…
‘Feinan. I’m back.’
He was surrounded by flourishing trees. Marvin’s didn’t seem to have made a mistake when returning.
This place was outside the White Deer Cave in the Deathly Silent Hills, where Marvin originally set up a plane mark.
He had made proper preparations before going out to that Underworld plane.
If he hadn’t set up a plane mark, then who knew where t
he Celestial Stairway’s Teleportation Portal would have sent him, perhaps to that Dead Area, or even in the sea.
But what surprised Marvin was that there was no one in the White Deer Cave.
In fact, he couldn’t seem to contact anyone.
Hathaway’s token was a single-use item, and Owl’s Thousand Paper Crane had apparently suffered some damage. Thankfully, the storage function was okay, and the Red Dragon’s corpse was still there. Marvin didn’t know how to connect to the others.
At that time, he still didn’t know that the scene of him dying after taking out the Decaying Plateau had been seen by Feinan’s people, causing most people to mistakenly think he was already dead.
Thus he wasn’t anxious, and leisurely strolled around the Deathly Silent Hills.
This place was the same as before, but he wasn’t sure how much time had passed.
‘Whatever, I’ll head back to check on White River Valley. I need to figure out exactly what happened meanwhile.”
Marvin decided so and started his trip back.
…
He wasn’t idle on his journey home.
Since he had returned to Feinan, the mysterious power around the World Tree disappeared. He could spend his experience to advance.
Marvin carefully looked at his battle experience that had reached 110770 points!
This included the exp gained from shooting the Moss Prison, the Brain Eating Monsters, and so on.
But this battle experience was enough for Marvin to reach 4th rank!
Moreover, there was also the 20000 general exp, of which 10000 came from the Path of Darkness, and the other 10000 came from the Assassin Alliance quest which was shown as completed. It was clear that after he used the Night Crow to notify the Bai High Priest of the Brain Eating Monsters killing the White Deer, this quest had been completed.
Thus, his total experience reached more than 130000 points!
This was enough to let him reach 4th rank!
Marvin carefully thought for a bit and quickly spent his experience.
First was naturally his Night Walker class level up. After using 35000 exp, Marvin’s Night Walker successfully reached level 5!
That way, he not only got 36 skill points, 100 HP, he also received a new Night Walker specialty!
[Night Boundary]: During the night, you can freely walk inside an fixed area, and your footsteps can distort space. Nightly use: 3.
