My Apocalypse Territory

Zabol, after getting appointed as the deputy commander of the Investigation Corps, immediately immersed himself in training.

His enthusiasm, which had lain dormant for decades, was reignited.

The Gravity Room, Spirit Space, Cultivation Room, Moonlight Waterfall…

In just a few days, he experienced progress that had seemed impossible in the past year or two.

After becoming Transcendent, each advancement had become extremely difficult, especially since their world was resource-poor. It was only after arriving in Green Shadow that Zabol realized just how joyful the world of the wealthy could be!

He still remembered his mission.

To resolve the menace of the Black Tide.

As a follower, he had yet to contribute, and he had no right to ask for help from the other residents of Green Shadow, but with his current rate of progress...

"I've waited for decades; what's a few more months?"

After the Green Shadow Defense Circle was constructed, the territory returned to its usual appearance but became livelier and larger in scale.

Zabol and Zhong Ping, two new experts, aside from cultivating, led the Awakeners of the Investigation Corps to explore various dangerous places.

These places often contained rare materials that were difficult to find elsewhere.

However, there were dangers that could potentially claim the lives of even the Transcendents—the most elite Life Planets, like the Origin Star, not only had high concentrations of Source Qi but also dangerous and forbidden areas unlike any found on ordinary planets. Currently, in its revival stage, these special areas were not as prevalent.

Tang Yu had once ridden a Floating Chariot from Green Shadow to Luoxia, passing through an intensely hot barren region where the high temperature alone could kill an ordinary person; now, at the core of that scorching region, the temperature had risen above one hundred degrees, making it impossible for ordinary Awakeners to survive.

Mid-to-high-level Awakeners had to wear full protective gear, including helmets and gloves, to bear the conditions.

This peculiar region had been under the continuous observation of the Investigation Corps, and later, they found something valuable.

An area where Fire Series Elves were active.

Unlike "Zhen", it was a newly born Fire Series Elf, naive and easy to trick into coming to Green Shadow.

Originally, the territory wasn't suited for the habitation of Fire Series Elves, but after reaching level seven, creating a special region was a trivial matter; soon, a miniature volcano appeared on one of the larger Floating Islands.

In the back hill,

less than two hundred meters from Cultivation Holy Land Number One, lay a small valley.

Here lay the "Pure Source Power Pool."

Above the misty Source Qi Pool, pure Source Power particles, each the size of a thumbnail, floated.

[Special Structure: Pure Source Power Pool]

[Repair Integrity: 92.56%]

[Possible Upgrade Directions:

① Concentration is essence: Increase the aid in cultivation provided by pure Source Power (Level 1);

② Thrifty stewardship: Reduce the loss in converting high-purity Source Crystals to pure Source Power (Level 1);

③ Quantity over quality (new): Convert ordinary Source Crystals to pure Source Power (Note: Extremely low conversion rate) (Level 0);

④ Perfect storage (new): Allow pure Source Power to be stored and removed from the Source Power Pool (Level 1);

⑤...]

Tang Yu contributed the latest materials acquired by the Investigation Corps to the "Pure Source Power Pool," finally pushing the repair progress to over ninety percent, largely restoring the pool's functionality.

As a system-certified special structure, the "Pure Source Power Pool" also had an upgrade panel similar to Arrow Towers, some requiring Source Crystals, others requiring Telekinesis energy.

A maximum of three options could be upgraded, or one option could be enhanced to Level 2.

This meant he possessed three skill points, but upgrading from Level 1 to Level 2 required two points.

To think of upgrading later would require elevating the territory's level.

"Poor, capital and bold Poor!"

Whether it was Source Crystals or Telekinesis energy, he had only a pitiful amount.

Tang Yu sighed, opened his mouth, and swallowed a bright red pure Source Power. Bursts of energy erupted, expanding his Source Qi lake rapidly, having just advanced to Transcendent not long ago.

...

Martial Arts Hall, Spirit Space.

High-privilege custom mode.

Nancy held her sword with both hands, battling ten members of an Alien Race who were Transcendents. Her arms, shoulders, and cheeks were covered with deep, bone-deep scars. Eventually, due to her injuries and exhaustion, a mistake allowed a hit from a Senior Transcendent, shattering her armor, and nearly caving in her chest and abdomen.

But within three seconds, she was back in the transfer space.

Her 996th death.

Ten Senior Transcendent enemies; the first time, she died within five seconds.

Now, she could last several minutes, even managing to injure her foes…

But it was not enough, far from enough.

She pouted her lips.

That day, when dozens of enemies attacked, Nancy realized she too could feel fear—fear that something might happen to the Lord, fear that this home would turn to ruins.

The Lord managed to turn the tide, and while she felt joy, she also felt loss.

"I am still too weak, unable to share the Lord's burdens like Sister Eileen, nor to save people like Sister Winnie, nor can I learn the miraculous Astrology like Xing Ling and Xing Yue…

All I am good at is fighting, but I, I am too weak."

She was not content, "Again!"

Her figure vanished into the misty space.

…

Green Shadow, western street of the business district.

Among numerous stores selling materials, equipment, and tools, there was a small two-story building with dark curtains blocking the view inside.

Only the not-so-large characters "Astrology Cabin" above the curtain let others know what the store was for.

"Who still believes in divination these days?"

"Who knows? They hardly ever have any customers, yet the rent here is very expensive."

"Maybe it's a powerful Awakener who doesn't care about the money."

They didn't need to pay the rent.

As followers, the only requirement Xing Ling and Xing Yue had was to open an "Astrology Cabin"—no need for promotion, just letting it be natural.

Their lineage was very mysterious and high-end.

Tang Yu had once sought to learn some knowledge of Astrology and even planned to learn a few Magic spells that did not involve the core of their lineage.

However, he did not succeed. It was one thing for him not to understand, but even Eileen could not get started with the Astrology of Xing Ling and Xing Yue's technique, eventually concluding that without the lineage mark, they couldn't learn their kind of Magic.

For Xing Ling and Xing Yue, besides cultivation, Astrology was also a crucial element for their breakthroughs.

A customer walked out of the Astrology Cabin.

Instantly,

A wave of invisible fluctuations spread around the cabin and then rapidly disappeared.

Some Awakeners with sharp perception shuddered abruptly, looking around uncertainly.

In the Pure Source Power Pool, Tang Yu, who had been cultivating, opened his eyes, "Two more Transcendents just now."

…

Martial Arts Hall premises, card room.

Shay, by herself, challenged the students, guards, and tutors of the Martial Arts Hall.

"Royal flush!"

"I have won a hundred consecutive games, who else!"

Shay yelled out, only to be surprised as she felt a bottleneck within her shatter.

The aura of a Transcendent surged forth from her body in an instant, like a gust of wind, making the surrounding skilled students take several steps back.

That day, Special Level Tutor Shay, stepped into the Transcendent realm.
