Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2545  Message Transmission

As he spoke, Teacher Gu Luo handed over three prepared black stone slabs to Fang Heng and the others, one for each of them.

The slabs were small, about the size of two stacked tablets.

"The stone slabs remain in an inactive state. When the undead council wishes to contact you, the slabs will emit a slight warmth, and text will appear on their surface. However, remember that the slabs only allow for one-way communication; you cannot use them to send us messages."

"Additionally, we can observe your general situation through a mirror, but the image will be very blurry, making it difficult to discern clearly. While it will be challenging to convey detailed information through the mirror, simple responses like 'yes' and 'no' can still be communicated."

"Fang Heng, we will do everything we can here to assist you in your exploration of the death realm. In the state of the Death God, you will not be affected by the negative effects of the death realm, but be aware that dangers are always present there, so exercise caution."

"That's the general situation. Do you have any questions?"

Fang Heng raised his hand and asked, "President, I'd like to know what our exploration mission target is?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Once you enter the death realm, we will provide you with detailed guidance through the stone slabs. If I had to specify a target, it would be to explore the death realm, specifically the mausoleum of Empress Persephone, in search of the realm's secrets."

Georgi paused for a moment before continuing, "Fang Heng, based on the information we have gathered, the path to advancing to God-level necromancy lies with the former lord of the death realm, Empress Persephone."

"She is the only undead queen who has attained a God-level skill."

"We hope to find clues in her mausoleum, including information about her death and any messages she may have left behind. Every piece of information could be crucial for us."

"I understand."

Fang Heng nodded lightly.

The so-called exploration of the death realm was essentially an exploration of Empress Persephone's mausoleum.

"Fang Heng, do you know why the upper echelons of the undead council have always been reluctant to confront the Holy Court directly?"

Fang Heng felt a stir of curiosity and turned to Teacher Gu Luo, who had posed the question.

"Instructor, I don't know."

"Being eager to explore the mysteries of necromancy is one thing, but lacking the hard power to back it up is another."

Teacher Gu Luo shook his head, candidly acknowledging the gap in strength between them.

"You hadn't reached this level before, so I never brought it up with you."

"In fact, we have yet to uncover the path to advancing to God-level necromancy. We have been stuck at the demigod-level for far too long. We can feel our strength gradually accumulating, slowly improving, and building up power, but we have never been able to find the method to break through that bottleneck."

"The Holy Court, on the other hand, has a very clear path to their breakthroughs. Although that road is exceptionally arduous, there has only been one God-level existence within the Holy Court to date."

"But because of that one individual's strength, the undead faction has always been cautious."

"The mausoleum of Empress Persephone is our greatest hope for a breakthrough," Teacher Gu Luo said, his expression becoming increasingly serious. "So our mission is extremely important; this is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss. We will do everything we can."

Fang Heng listened intently, his mind racing at the revelation.

For ordinary players, advancing academic skills to the grandmaster level was already considered the pinnacle of achievement.

However, in reality, there were still three major breakthrough levels beyond that: transcendent, demigod-level, and God-level.

The entire necromancy faction was restricted to the demigod-level.

But...

Was it really just because the Holy Court had a single God-level existence that the necromancy faction felt so intimidated?

Fang Heng felt that the upper echelons of the undead council were being a bit timid.

Perhaps they were more concerned with exploring the academic disciplines and uncovering the mysteries of death.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded and said, "I understand, Teacher Gu Luo."

Georgi's voice resonated from above again.

"Everyone, there's no time to waste. If you're ready, we'll begin now."

"Yes," the group replied in unison.

"Prepare to activate the death realm passage and begin injecting energy into the teleportation passage."

"Countdown: three seconds..."

As large amounts of electricity and spiritual energy flowed in, the entire device began to hum and vibrate.

Fang Heng and the others could feel the volatile energy source contained within the device.

"Three, two..."

"One!"

Whoosh!

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.

A pure black circle, about the size of a coin, gradually materialized from the disc at the top of the large device!

Whoosh!!!

A dense aura of the death realm surged from the circular opening!

"The passage to the death realm has been opened!"

Teacher Gu Luo nodded at the dark entrance before saying, "Let's go!"

The six necromancy instructors were the first to enter, transforming into their soul mirror states and being drawn into the black sphere.

Fang Heng and Li Shaoqiang exchanged glances, then shifted into their Death God forms and stepped into the circular entrance of the death realm.

The remaining six necromancy instructors quickly followed suit.

"Whoosh!!!"

As the group of twelve stepped into the death realm, the black disc swiftly vanished behind them.

...

The death realm.

Ahead lay a shroud of black clouds.

On the decayed ground, Fang Heng could hear the constant echo of agonized wails.

Slowly opening his eyes, he scanned his surroundings and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"The death realm..."

Indeed, everything he saw here was exactly like what he had encountered when he passed through the death knight space.

"Fang Heng."

Fang Heng slowly turned to look at Teacher Gu Luo, who was in a soul mirror projection state beside him.

"This is the passage anchor point set by our undead council in the death realm. The mausoleum of Empress Persephone is not far ahead."

"Most of the time, the mausoleum is shrouded in the storms of the death realm. This period is a temporary calm, and while the storms are gradually subsiding, it's the best opportunity for us to enter the mausoleum and explore."

The undead faction had been eager for Fang Heng and the others to explore the mausoleum of Empress Persephone, primarily due to the death realm storms that surrounded the mausoleum.

Recently, there had been unusual fluctuations in the death realm, creating a significant storm.

If they missed this opportunity, it might take years—possibly even decades—before another storm calmed down enough to allow for exploration.

Gu Luo glanced at Fang Heng and the others, who were in the state of the Death God, and asked, "How does the environment in the death realm feel? Are you experiencing any negative effects?"

"No."

"Good. The aura of the death realm has a strong corrosive effect, so unless necessary, you should try to maintain the Death God state at all times."

"Understood."

"Alright, let's get going. You three, stay close to us."
