Chapter 3719: Pure Black Pearl

"It was related to a mission I received. In an illusion, I saw a black orb. Afterwards, I found some clues through astrology and unintentionally discovered that you possessed clues related to the Black Orb."
A Black Castle member behind Charlene frowned and stepped forward as though wanting to say something, but Charlene raised her hand to stop him.
"There’s no need to say more. I trust him."
Charlene looked at Fang Heng and lightly nodded before saying, "Fang Heng, to be honest with you, Black Castle entered the Sea Abyss this time to replicate the ancient magic array because we were guided here by the game. We received an urgent game mission. The mission requirements instructed us to protect the Pure Black Orb."
Fang Heng’s heart stirred.
Protect the Pure Black Orb?
Who wanted to harm the Pure Black Orb?
Thinking of what Kandal had said earlier, a thought suddenly arose in Fang Heng’s mind.
No way?
Could it be the God Clan?
Charlene considered her words before saying, "A powerful race has always been very interested in the Pure Black Orb. Recently, they have been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Pure Black Orb. The protective power provided by the game is gradually dissipating under their erosion and likely cannot hold out much longer."
"In order to prevent the Pure Black Orb from being taken by them, the game hinted for us to come deep into the Sea Abyss to search for the ancient magic array, hoping to use the magic array’s power to conceal the Pure Black Orb. That was how this operation into the Sea Abyss began."
Fang Heng asked, "The enemy you’re talking about is the God Clan?"
"I didn’t expect that you had also come into contact with the God Clan. Yes, it’s them." Charlene’s eyes were filled with fear. "The God Clan possesses extremely powerful talent. Every member of their race is an extremely terrifying existence. I once fought against a member of the God Clan and ended up severely injured. It took me a very long time to recover."
So it really was them!
Fang Heng quickly asked, "Where is the Pure Black Orb?"
"It is inside an independent black game world. Under normal circumstances, we can enter that game world through the Tower of Black Fog."
As Charlene spoke, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "Unfortunately, we are trapped here now. The Tower of Black Fog’s power has been greatly suppressed. At present, we can only wait for the Tower of Black Fog’s power to slowly accumulate before opening a game teleportation passage. At the current speed, it will probably still require about half a month."
"Right now, I’m even more worried about the God Clan. According to the hint, the game estimates that there are only sixteen days left before the God Clan discovers the Pure Black Orb."
The members of Black Castle all fell silent as well.
The luck of this mission had been terrible to the extreme.
Not only were they trapped here, but their research into the alchemy magic array had also yielded absolutely no discoveries.
Even if half a month later, they escaped using the power of the Tower of Black Fog, calculating the time, they would immediately have to face the God Clan head-on after escaping.
It was impossible to complete the mission in such a short amount of time!
Charlene raised her head to look at Fang Heng, her tone carrying apology. "Sorry, I didn’t expect to drag you into being trapped here as well."
"It’s fine. I came in willingly. Besides, I’ve long been at odds with the God Clan."
Fang Heng waved his hand, but a strong sense of crisis rose within his heart.
The God Clan was also searching for the Pure Black Orb.
Fortunately, he had gotten there first.
If the Pure Black Orb were taken by the God Clan, then trying to seize it from them later would be unimaginably difficult.
He absolutely had to stop the God Clan.
But speaking of it, he was also very curious.
Which special world corresponded to the Pure Black Orb?
Fang Heng asked, "Is there anything abnormal about the world where the Pure Black Orb is located?"
"Abnormal?"
Charlene frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled by Fang Heng’s question, and said, "No. The Pure Black Orb is located within a high-level game world. There are extremely high-level monsters within that world. Besides that, there are countless Towers of Black Fog standing everywhere. The entire world is filled with dense Black Fog. If I had to say what was strange, it would be that no humans or high-intelligence lifeforms are living there."
Fang Heng vaguely felt something strange, so his gaze shifted toward the Tower of Black Fog nearby as he changed the way he asked his question, "Did your summoning method for the Tower of Black Fog also come from the mission line?"
"That’s right. Since the establishment of Black Castle, we have carried out the mission of protecting the Pure Black Orb. Every successive master of Black Castle accepts the mission line. Only after completing the mission will they be acknowledged by the game, and they will also obtain the method for summoning the Tower of Black Fog."
"Where does it lead?"
"Where? Naturally, it leads to the game world."
Charlene became even more confused listening to Fang Heng’s questions.
In her understanding, the Tower of Black Fog was a passage connecting the real world and the game world.
Huh?!
Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly shrank upon hearing this.
The real world?
What did that mean?
According to his original speculation, the creator of the game, Ymir, intended to create a completely simulated game world based on the operational rules of the current world.
Ymir extracted power from several special origin worlds and then converted them into orbs. The orbs would gradually create a special game world.
In theory, every game world created by an orb corresponded to a special origin world.
Then, step by step, the simulated world would gradually replace the original world.
So, entering through the Pure Black Orb led to the real world? What did that mean?
An ordinary world?
Fang Heng became somewhat confused for a moment.
Seeing Fang Heng lower his head in thought, everyone else also quieted down.
A full five minutes passed before Feng Tiya softly asked, "Fang Heng, are you alright?"
Fang Heng was interrupted from his thoughts. He raised his head and said, "I’m fine."
Forget it.
Since he could not figure it out, he would put it aside for now. Perhaps once he found the Pure Black Orb, everything would become clear.
"In any case, let’s first find a way to leave this place. I want to see the Pure Black Orb first."
Fana had been listening to the conversation between the two from the side. Upon hearing this, her heart suddenly stirred as she asked, "Fang Heng, do you have a way to take us out of here?"
"Mhm, I think I can help save you quite a bit of time."
As Fang Heng spoke, he walked to an open area nearby and rapidly formed a seal with both hands before him.
"Chi, chi chi..."
Large phantom magic arrays immediately appeared on the ground surrounding Fang Heng.
Eh!?
Charlene stared tightly at the magic arrays emerging on the ground, a trace of shock flashing through her eyes.
The Tower of Black Fog was summoning magic arrays!
No, that wasn’t right!
The Tower of Black Fog summoned by Fang Heng was somewhat different from the one she summoned.
Charlene stared intently at the magic arrays generated around Fang Heng.
As the magic arrays gradually formed and slowly rotated, Black Fog from the game slowly overflowed from within the arrays.
Everyone’s hearts jumped at the sight.
The aura of the Black Fog overflowing from the magic arrays was identical to the aura emitted by the Tower of Black Fog summoned by Charlene. The two completely fused.
Meanwhile, Fang Heng directly summoned a large number of magic arrays across the open ground. The quantity far exceeded the ones Charlene had summoned, causing the speed at which the Black Fog aura condensed to become more than ten times faster than Charlene’s two magic arrays alone.
