Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 679: Chapter 335: Transcending Exclusive Divine Artifact! (Two in One) _1

While the powerful individuals from Earth were valiantly resisting in the first region of the first level of the Tower of Eternity, Chen Mo, within the rebirth dungeon, had nearly completed his class rebirth mission. Zhui Yi, on his end, had already finished the class mission, merely waiting for Chen Mo to arrive and accept the inheritance. Chen Mo, having also collected all the components for the artifact mission, arrived at the Mysterious Realm with the fully assembled artifact.

The Mysterious Realm was a mystical place, filled with energies where the Sacred and the aura of death intertwined. A dense fog shrouded the entire Mysterious Realm, rendering it dim and mysterious. Phantom-like lights flickered within the fog, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, creating an elusive sensation. This instilled an indescribable sense of tension and curiosity.

Cracks crisscrossed the ground, emitting a strong deathly aura. These fissures seemed like portals to another world, emanating a chilling power. A challenger had to brave the mist-filled environment, carefully navigating around these fissures while maintaining constant vigilance. If Chen Mo hadn’t possessed the Eye of Origin and had relied purely on his Pioneer abilities, he wouldn’t have been able to clearly perceive the mist-shrouded surroundings at all. Moreover, flying was impossible in this area; one careless misstep meant irrecoverable doom. According to the information from Moluo’s Brain, falling into this abyss meant certain death. This detail alone highlighted just how perverse this Super Grade Five Trial truly was. In a place where it was exceedingly easy to misstep, a single wrong move could lead to a fatal outcome.

Essentially, all SSS-level abilities were rendered ineffective in this environment. Even sending out summoned creatures to scout was futile, as the mist would sever the sensory link between master and summon. One would have no idea what their summoned creature experienced after it ventured forth, unless they were literally hand-in-hand with it. However, one had to be extremely careful, lest the summoned creature fall into the abyss and drag its master down with it. In this Mysterious Realm, merely attempting to walk normally constituted an immense trial in itself.

Fortunately, Chen Mo’s own capabilities were considerable. His Eye of Origin allowed him to see his surroundings with ease, and his deified body, combined with his array of skills, meant he feared no BOSS within the dungeon. And these were the trials Zhui Yi had managed to complete all by himself here. Chen Mo, however, had the added combat power of two chaos-grade summoned creatures compared to Zhui Yi. If he undertook the trials personally, clearing them would naturally be much easier.

However, the trials here involved tests of one’s Heart Demon and willpower, which Chen Mo wasn’t keen on experiencing firsthand. In any case, once he met Zhui Yi, he could directly share his memories, which would be tantamount to having undergone the trials himself. To avoid danger yet gain the corresponding Experience and training—what could be better?

As Chen Mo continued his advance through the Mysterious Realm, he soon spotted a colossal and solemn shrine ruin standing amidst the pervasive mist. It emanated an ancient and Sacred aura, as if bearing the wisdom and power of ages past. This shrine structure was magnificent and mysterious, engraved with ancient runes and decorative patterns. Around the shrine grew various peculiar plants, distinctly different from common flora. These plants emitted strange, fluorescent glows and captivating fragrances, releasing waves of mysterious Energy. Their forms were bizarre; some even defied description. Concurrently, these plants, much like the shrine itself, exuded an intermingled aura of the Sacred and the deathly, creating a spectacle that was both breathtakingly beautiful and profoundly awe-inspiring.

When Chen Mo arrived at this location, he saw Zhui Yi standing before the shrine, waiting for him. The moment he drew near, he instantly received a mental imprint of all the trials Zhui Yi had previously undergone in the Mysterious Realm. He discovered that these trials of the Heart Demon were indeed substantial, consistently presenting him with difficult dilemmas. For instance, how would he choose between the safety of his loved ones and his own abilities? How would he choose when faced with the security of the Star System versus his personal safety? A variety of illusory scenarios unfolded to test him.

Merely perceiving these choices through Zhui Yi’s experience, Chen Mo found them incredibly difficult to decide. Unless he were truly in those exact situations, he genuinely wouldn’t know the answers. Since Zhui Yi shared his thought patterns, he had naturally made the choices Chen Mo himself would most likely have made.

Faced with the choice between the safety of his loved ones and preserving his own abilities, Zhui Yi had chosen to keep his abilities, allowing a powerful enemy to kill his family. The primary reason for this choice was the conviction that abandoning his abilities meant he ultimately couldn’t protect anything. Conversely, if he continuously grew stronger, even though he currently lacked the power to save his loved ones—whose very bodies had been annihilated—perhaps everything could be reversed if he reached a higher realm in the future.

The subsequent choice was similar: between the safety of the Star System and his personal safety, he had again chosen the latter. Even if it meant using a Stars Citizenship Conversion Card, he would join another Star System. Only by remaining alive could there be boundless hope. Even if the Solar System were truly destroyed, if he one day attained an unknown, higher state of existence, it might not be impossible to restore the Solar System to its former condition.

No matter what dilemmas the Heavenly Dao presented, Zhui Yi’s ultimate choices always appeared to be rooted in self-interest. Yet, behind this seeming self-interest lay a boundless anticipation for the future.

After experiencing Zhui Yi’s choices, Chen Mo couldn’t help but laugh, “So, this is how selfish I am in my subconscious?”

“My Lord,” Zhui Yi said, looking at Chen Mo with a smile, “rather than calling it selfishness, it’s more akin to the principle: ’as long as the green mountains are there, one need not worry about firewood.’”
