Chapter 1 The Magnificent Palace

After the battle between Shi Feng and the Bronze Dragon King ended, Shi Feng originally thought he would be sent directly out of the Ancient God's Maze. However, when he opened his eyes, he wasn't outside, but inside a magnificent palace.

The palace was resplendent with gold and jade. A blood-red carpet stretched across the center, leading to a golden throne above. The ceiling was a dazzling starry sky, making it seem as if one could overlook the entire universe from within the hall, leaving a person awestruck.

Standing on either side of the red carpet were knights clad in golden armor, each holding a long spear. These golden-armored knights were uniformly level 200, and their lowest rank was Tier 4. The two knight captains at the head were even Tier 5. Moreover, these knights were not humans, but genuine angels.

It could be said that any of these Tier 4 knights possessed strength comparable to that of a human Tier 5 class, and the leading knight captains could even rival a Tier 5 dragon.

If these angels gathered together, destroying an empire would be a piece of cake.

Before Shi Feng could react to what was happening, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

System: Congratulations to player for triggering the hidden event "Heart of a Brave," receiving an audience with Archangel Vaoutra.

"Archangel Vaoutra?" Shi Feng was startled when he heard the system notification.

The angel race was not much different from the dragon race in terms of life level. Among them, archangels were like the Dragon Kings, beings who could rival Tier 6 gods.

Each such archangel had their own mission, capable of influencing the entire God's Domain Continent.

In his previous life, Shuanghui, the Tier 6 War God, was just an unknown ordinary expert before becoming a Tier 6 War God. However, he had fortunately encountered an archangel, opening up an ancient world that shook God's Domain at the time, changing the landscape of God's Domain and even causing some super forces to fall. Shuanghui rose all the way up, becoming a Tier 6 War God in one fell swoop.

At that time, this was regarded as a legend by players in God's Domain, and they all dreamed of encountering an archangel in God's Domain. Unfortunately, in the history of players in God's Domain, this had only happened twice.

Shi Feng never thought he would meet an archangel who could influence the entire God's Domain here.

In the hall, before Shi Feng could recover, a handsome man wearing a pure white holy robe with four pairs of pure white wings appeared before him.

The moment this angel appeared, Shi Feng didn't notice it at all. However, what surprised Shi Feng even more was that he couldn't sense anything from this angel. He was clearly right in front of him, but he felt like he didn't exist at all, unlike the Bronze Dragon King, who was filled with suffocating pressure. If the Bronze Dragon King wasn't trapped by the magic array, he could probably crush him with his aura alone.

"I've seen your battle with the Bronze Dragon King, very exciting! Even the Bronze Dragon King didn't expect to be injured in a fight with a human." The man looked at Shi Feng with a smile and said softly, "From your battle with the Bronze Dragon King, I can clearly feel your courage and tenacity, as well as your never-give-up belief. That's why I invited you here. I hope you can help me with a favor. I wonder if you are willing?"

System: Is the player willing to accept Archangel Vaoutra's request?

"Respected Lord Vaoutra, it is my honor," Shi Feng said respectfully to Archangel Vaoutra.

If it was a request from other NPCs, it would be fine, but for an archangel's request, only a fool would refuse. The tasks given by archangels were unlike other tasks, which would have severe penalties if they couldn't be completed. On the contrary, the special tasks given by archangels didn't have such penalties, and the rewards were beyond imagination.

Like the rewards given to War God Shuanghui, it was said that he had received the blessing of an archangel, which not only allowed his strength to leap forward, but also gave him a great advantage in the ancient world he opened up, allowing him to accomplish one impossible task after another.

"That's great. Now, the world barrier of God's Domain Continent has been hit by the barrier of the undead world, causing many gaps to appear in the world barrier of God's Domain Continent. Some of the dead from the undead world have quietly sneaked into God's Domain Continent and started to stir up trouble. As angels, although we want to stop them, we can't interfere in the affairs of God's Domain Continent at will because of the rules set by the gods. So, we need a representative to handle these matters." Archangel Vaoutra said slowly, "And I want you to be my representative, to drive these dead from the God's Domain Continent."

System: Player accepts hidden quest "World of the Dead." Player needs to eliminate the undead who are stirring up trouble in the God's Domain Continent. Reward: Unknown.

"Of course, with your current strength, you may not be able to do such a thing, so I have prepared two items for you. One is a dragon-summoning flute I made with care, and the other is this stone. Both of these items can help you better deal with those undead who have infiltrated God's Domain."

As he spoke, Vaoutra took out a golden horn and a plain black stone, directly handing them to Shi Feng.

Dragon Summoning Flute (Replica), Legendary Item, a horn that can summon dragons according to legend. By consuming three thousand Advanced Magic Cores, five dragons can be summoned to assist in battle for three hours. Cooldown time is fifteen days. (The dragons summoned by this item can only fight NPCs and cannot fight players or monsters.)

"A Legendary item?!" Shi Feng looked at the Dragon Summoning Flute, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It had to be said that it was indeed a legendary item, able to summon five dragons at once. If Archangel Vaoutra hadn't given it to him to protect himself while doing quests and allowed it to be used freely in combat, it would have been invincible.

However, the consumption was also very high. Advanced Magic Cores were only dropped by killing high-level Bosses. They were not only rare materials for making many master-level potions and epic-level weapons and equipment, but also needed for many town constructions. For first-rate guilds, having a stockpile of two thousand by now would be good, but here, three thousand Advanced Magic Cores were needed at once. Ordinary guilds really couldn't afford it.

After looking at the Dragon Summoning Flute, Shi Feng turned his attention to the black stone in his hand.

Mysterious Stone, Consumable, looks like a plain stone from the outside, but contains a trace of powerful divine power. There is a certain chance that it can allow the player to gain self-awakening. Usable 33 times.

"Self-awakening! This stone is so powerful?" Shi Feng didn't know what to say about the black stone in front of him.

Self-awakening might be unknown to other players now, but he knew very well that self-awakening could allow players to forcibly master combat techniques.

Of course, this kind of forcibly mastered combat technique had a serious drawback, which was that the player's stamina consumption was much greater than the hidden consumption brought about by normal use of the combat technique. However, after forcibly mastering it, it would be of great help to the player in learning such combat techniques in the future, because it would allow the player to personally experience how their body used the combat technique, which was far from comparable to watching and other experiences.

Just as Shi Feng wanted to further study the black stone, Archangel Vaoutra waved his hand, and Shi Feng felt as if his entire being was teleported out of the hall, sent back to the space-time tunnel he had come from, and continuously flew towards the God's Domain Continent.
