Jiang Fei instantly got his hands on the coordinates of five Overlord bosses from Smart Tomato. Unfortunately, after killing the five bosses, Jiang Fei did not get even one Original Fel Iron Bar.
Then, Jiang Fei killed several other Overlord bosses that his guild members found, but still failed to obtain anything useful. After he stored all the boss drops into the guild storage, he could only continue to search for the whereabouts of other Overlord bosses.
Another two days passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Fei managed to obtain another insignificant fragment in the real world, but he still made no progress on his material collection in the game.
That day, Jiang Fei was riding the Evol. Skygliding Dragon, looking for traces of Overlord bosses. All of a sudden, he received a system prompt.
“Ding! Your master Ou Yezi wants to see you!”
“Hmm?!” Jiang Fei was surprised. Ou Yezi rarely summoned him through system prompts.
After receiving Ou Yezi’s call, Jiang Fei did not waste any time. He directly teleported and returned to Heaven’s Realm.
“Master, are you looking for me?” Jiang Fei found Ou Yezi in his office.
“You haven’t gathered all the crafting materials yet?” Ou Yezi asked.
“Not yet…” Jiang Fei shook his head. Although these Overlord bosses were nothing to him as he had all nine Cauldrons, it was not easy to discover the whereabouts of these bosses.
“Then, put this Quest aside for now. I need you to do something else.” Ou Yezi sounded very serious.
“What is it?” Seeing Ou Yezi’s face, Jiang Fei also became serious.
“A huge number of cultists have appeared at the weak point of the Dimension. I think they’re about to open another Chronos Gate, but the Heavenly Court is now busy dealing with some other thing and has no time to care about them, So, I hope that you can lead some adventurers and eliminate those cultists to stop their plan,” Ou Yezi said.
“No problem.” Jiang Fei raised his eyebrows. He could kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, since he had to organize groups of players to fight against the cultists, he could give this great opportunity to his own guild and allies. Secondly, and also most importantly, these cultists could open a Chronos Gate and this was exactly what Jiang Fei needed!
If Jiang Fei wanted to find a Dream Crystal, he had to enter the void from the weak point of the Dimension. However, he did not know how to open a Chronos Gate, so the cultists were assisting Jiang Fei in a way.
After killing all the cultists, Jiang Fei could just destroy the Chronos Gate, then enter the void and look for the Dream Crystal!
“Okay, then go ahead and prepare!” Ou Yezi gave the coordinates of the Dimension’s weak point to Jiang Fei, then turned around and left.
“Ding! You have obtained limited Quest authorization!”
Jiang Fei heard a familiar system prompt. Once again, he had obtained the authority to issue a Quest. This time, however, Jiang Fei’s rights were even greater. His Quest was no longer limited to players from the original Dark Faction, but was open to all players!
The weak point that Ou Yezi marked was located within a deep mountain in the original Light Faction control area. It was a desolate place so there were very few players around. Even NPCs were rarely seen there. Clearly, it was not easy for the cultists to find this place.
Before Jiang Fei released the Quest, he rode the Evol. Skygliding Dragon and went to investigate the target location. A huge number of cultists had already gathered at the weak point of the Dimension. They had built a huge fortress that had three floors that were strictly guarded. At the center of the fortress was Jiang Fei’s goal—the Chronos Gate!
At this time, the Chronos Gate was still inactive and the cultists were still busy storing energy. As soon as the Chronos Gate opened, an Ancient God similar to Soulcutter’s Spirit would come to the main world. It would definitely cause a bloodbath again.
“It’s not easy to break this fortress…” Jiang Fei sighed. The fortress was built on the intersection of two valleys. It was at the center of a crossroad. There were only four roads that led to the fortress. So, only those with flying Mounts could access the other parts of the fortress.
Swoosh!
Just as Jiang Fei tried to get closer, a cold arrow whizzed past, almost hitting the Evol. Skygliding Dragon’s belly. This made Jiang Fei break out in cold sweat.
Although Jiang Fei had godly Defense now and he could ignore almost all attacks that were Celestial level or below, the Evol. Skygliding Dragon could not. If they were hit while they were flying at such a high altitude, Jiang Fei would have to activate an Invincibility skill to save himself from falling to his death. Moreover, should he fall right into the middle of a heavy encirclement, regardless of how strong he was, who could guarantee that these cultists had no special tricks up their sleeves?
In the unlikely event that they also had skills or items that could forcefully decrease his Health Points to 1, just like how Evil Laughter did previously, wouldn’t it be over for Jiang Fei?
Thinking of this, Jiang Fei tugged on the Evol. Skygliding Dragon and ascended quickly. He quickly got out of the attack range of the air defense weapon below. After he flew around two more times, Jiang Fei felt that it was simply impossible to forcefully strike the Chronos Gate considering the number of flying Mounts around. To ruin the plan of the cultists, they had to launch a powerful attack and destroy the fortress.
However, destroying such a solid fortress was a difficult task. Even for a large number of players, this was not a simple matter.
After Jiang Fei returned to the Demon Dragon Fortress, he first issued some investigation-type Quests to the players of his guild. The players could train around the cultist fortress and gain Experience while they were doing the Quest.
Then, Jiang Fei sent a message to the major guilds of the two Factions, asking the guild masters to come over and meet him. Although Jiang Fei could directly release the Quest, he felt like it would be better if he told them in advance. This would improve their coordination and arrangements, which would make it easier for them to destroy the fortress.
Jiang Fei had become the Envoy of the Heavens. In the players’ hearts, he was an idol. Hence, these guild masters did not dare to ignore his invitation. Very quickly, all of them gathered in the Demon Dragon Fortress’ Chamber.
“Everyone, I’ve called you here today because I need your help. In other words, Empyreal Dragon has a huge piece of fat meat and we can’t eat it all by ourselves, so we have invited you to come here and take a share.” Jiang Fei did not beat around the bush.
“Oh? A huge piece of fat meat? And our renowned Verdure Glider can’t swallow it all by himself?” A guild master from the original Light Faction mockingly asked despite being confused.
Although the Light and Dark Faction have now merged, the guild masters from the Light Faction still disliked Jiang Fei. After all, Jiang Fei, who led the players from the Dark Faction, had bullied them too much previously. So, whenever they had the chance, these guild masters tried to taunt Jiang Fei.
