To Sun Fei's surprise, the altar for the Ancestors' Covenant was not in a prominent Garo within the [ Rogue Encampment ]. Led by the old Sister Akara, Sun Fei and the others in the camp arrived at her small tent in the southwest corner of the camp.
Sun Fei had been here many times before.
Everywhere were broken bottles and jars covered in vines and moss, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. The tent looked small, even a bit tattered. Sun Fei had doubted more than once whether such a small tent could actually accommodate a person lying inside, even if that person was as thin as Sister Akara.
But this time, he was stunned.
Watching Aunt Akara, Aunt Kashya, and Uncle Cain bend down and head into the tent one by one, Sun Fei's mouth dropped open in astonishment. He was overjoyed. Could there be a hidden cave inside the tent? Otherwise, how could so many people fit into such a small space? By the end, almost everyone in the [ Rogue Encampment ] had squeezed inside, Sun Fei's mouth gaped wider and wider, almost splitting open.
Elena gently touched Sun Fei with her cool little hand. "Sir, we should go in now."
Sun Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet and crawl inside.
He had even prepared to find a hole in the tent... But as soon as he bent down and entered the tent, Sun Fei looked up and was immediately stunned. This was no small tent; it was clearly a magnificent and grand hall. Before him was a vast emptiness, with a long corridor that stretched as far as the eye could see, connecting to a huge hall. Tables and chairs were neatly arranged in the hall, and the walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with countless doors, making it impossible to count how many rooms there were.
"This is... it's actually... spatial magic?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Sun Fei immediately understood the cause and effect. It was truly insane. The dilapidated little tent in Akara was actually an incomparably enormous entrance to a space. Through this little tent, he entered a space that Sun Fei had never imagined.
However, upon closer examination, it seems quite normal for [ Rogue Encampment ] to possess such a mysterious place. After all, the entire camp has existed for millions of years, dating back to the legendary war between Paradise and Hell millions of years ago. With such a long history, if it had remained in its dilapidated state with only a few tricks and powers, the entire camp would have been razed to the ground by the demons and monsters roaming outside long ago. It wouldn't have been so long since even [ Blood Raven ], [ The Fallen Smith ], [ The Fallen Paladin Griswold ], and the super boss Andariel were able to wipe it out.
In any chaotic world, there is only one reason to survive—strength.
Clearly, there is a power hidden within [ Rogue Encampment ] that Sun Fei was unaware of.
As the group continued walking, they passed through a large hall resembling a meeting place. The corridor behind it seemed endless. Akara and Kashya walked ahead, very slowly. Sun Fei wanted to keep up, but then a strange thing happened. He discovered, to his dismay, that the faster he ran, the further away he got from the people in front of him. In an instant, Sun Fei could only see the blurry backs of Akara and the others.
What's going on?
Sun Fei was immediately stunned.
"Lord Sun Fei, time and space here are reversed... The slower you walk, the greater the actual distance you traverse. Don't walk too fast," Elena, who had been by Sun Fei's side, whispered a reminder.
Sun Fei was stunned for a moment, then finally understood what was going on.
He gave Elena a thank-you smile and began to move slowly.
To Sun Fei's surprise, this did indeed significantly increase his forward speed. Although he was only taking small steps, the room door beside him seemed to be rushing backward, making him feel as if he were on a high-speed Teleport, Teleport forward at breakneck Teleport. Seeing this, Sun Fei had an idea. He slowed his pace even further, moving at a snail's pace. However, under the rules of this magical space, his overall Teleport increased even more. In the blink of an eye, Sun Fei miraculously caught up with the slow-moving nun Akara at the front.
"Wow, what an amazing space... Hehe, where are we going?" Sun Fei Earth Inquiry, trying to make conversation.
" The Ancestors' Altar." The nun's answer was unusually concise.
"Uh... how much further?"
We've arrived.
As she spoke, Sister Akara finally stopped.
Sun Fei looked ahead, and his fragile little heart was jolted again.
At the end of the corridor, an incredibly vast and mysterious space appeared, and a black stone altar, thirty or forty meters high, stood silently in the very center of this mysterious space, like a skyscraper.
The altar, over fifty meters in diameter, is constructed entirely of some unknown black Rock, comprising nine tiers. The space decreases with each tier, and a narrow staircase on each of the four sides leads to the very top. The ninth tier at the top can only accommodate four or five people standing at a time. From a distance, each tier of the altar appears to be covered with intricate and profound magical patterns, resembling either sprawling vines or some unknown script. In addition to these magical patterns, countless ancient murals are also engraved, depicting a variety of subjects, including ferocious demons, howling monsters, fighting warriors, and spellcasting mages.
The entire altar was black, standing silently in the space, filled with an ancient and desolate aura, as if silently telling the mysterious history that had been buried in the distant past, or showing the ruthlessness and terror of the long years. One could clearly feel a faint divine and demonic pressure emanating from the altar and permeating the space.
"This is the ancestral oath altar," Sister Akara's expression was more solemn than ever before, carrying a hint of holiness, as if she were looking at a sacred place in her heart. She said to Sun Fei, "Climb the steps due east all the way to the top of the nine-tiered altar, pray devoutly, and God will grant you three incredible abilities. Go, Sun Fei."
After speaking, Akara and the others from the [ Luo'er Encampment ] knelt on the ground, chanting something in a magical and ancient language. A sacred and natural aura emanated from their bodies, and a visible power of light emerged from them, like a sky full of starlight, swaying with milky white tails, slowly being injected into the black altar.
Sun Fei climbed the narrow stone steps leading to the east and ascended the altar step by step.
When he finally stood atop the ninth altar, the black altar beneath his feet seemed to have finally absorbed enough of the light energy surging from the bodies of the people in the Rogue Encampment. It gradually began to change. Starting from the bottom altar, each altar began to rotate in a strange, regular pattern, like a precise instrument calibrating some mysterious frequency band or coordinate.
An ancient and weathered aura emerges.
Sun Fei suppressed his shock and calmly observed everything before him.
This was completely beyond his imagination. Nothing like this had ever happened in the familiar computer game from his previous life. At this moment, things were developing in a direction beyond Sun Fei's memory.
Just then--
Boom!
With a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, the black altar beneath their feet finally stopped spinning.
Everything in sight had undergone a tremendous change, as if time and space had been shifted. Akara and the others below could no longer be seen. The entire altar seemed to have been suddenly transported to the infinite starry sky by a great magical force. Everywhere one looked, there was dazzling starlight. This space had no top or bottom, no left or right, no front or back, just like a vacuum in the universe.
Sun Fei didn't even have time to be surprised...
Suddenly, a milky-white beam of light appeared out of nowhere, enveloping his entire body in a flash. This sensation was somewhat similar to the white beam of light that appears when leveling up in the wild, but its power far surpassed that of the white beam of light during leveling. For a moment, Sun Fei's senses seemed to be completely stripped away, leaving only a majestic, cold voice echoing endlessly in his mind—
"Supreme deities, endless years, boundless space, timeless passage... By the blood oath of the countless ancestors of the Rogue Continent, the weak mortal Sun Fei, you have slain Andariel, one of the four minor giants of Hell, and will receive three divine skills bestowed upon you by the gods of the heavens. These three divine skills are—[Learning], [ Grant ], and [ Summon ]!... Mortal, prepare to receive the gods' gift!"
As soon as that majestic, icy voice fell, a milky-white beam of light began to surge and wash over Sun Fei's body repeatedly. This process was like being given a large dose of anesthesia during surgery—painless and itch-free, but Sun Fei could clearly feel every cell in his body undergoing incredible changes...
Below the altar.
"Lord Akara... Sun Fei... could something have happened to him? More than three hours have passed..." Looking at the huge altar that was completely submerged in the milky white light, Elena's face showed anxiety and worry, and she couldn't help but ask Sister Akara, the spiritual leader of the camp.
" Elena, my child, do not worry... This is the will of our ancestors and God."
Akara glanced at the somewhat restless [ Flower of the Rogue ] beside her, a knowing smile spreading across her face. With a tender expression Sun Fei had never seen before, she comforted Elena, saying, "In the ancient legends of the Rogue Continent, every [ Flower of the Rogue ] will encounter a man who will change her life. Andariel met Diablo, and you met Sun Fei. This is the trajectory that the wheel of fate has long prepared for you, Elena, my child. I can foresee your future, everything about you..."
Boom!!
Akara had just finished speaking when a loud booming sound reached her ears. She stopped speaking and looked up with everyone. They saw the white flames that had previously enveloped the black Ancestors' Oath Altar slowly disappearing. They could finally see everything on the altar again. On the narrow stone steps of the passage, Sun Fei had finished the entire sacrificial process and was walking down step by step.
Elena's face lit up with surprise, and she quickly went to greet him. She carefully looked Sun Fei up and down, and only when she saw that he was unharmed did her heart, which had been pounding like a deer, finally relax. She breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on her flawless, jade-like face.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Sun Fei sensed the girl's worry and smiled as he squeezed her cold little hand.
Elena was extremely embarrassed. Her face flushed, she broke free from Sun Fei's Big Hand and quickly returned to the crowd with her head down.
Following the same path, Sun Fei exited the magical space tent in Akara. With less than half an hour of game time remaining that day, he didn't rush off to kill monsters in the wilderness. Instead, he stayed behind and spent a long time spying in front of the tent with Kashya, the two leaders of [ Rogue Encampment ], and the lecherous white-bearded old man, Cain.
No one knew what they said, nor did they know what kind of three divine skills Sun Fei obtained at the Ancestors' Altar. In any case, after Sun Fei left the Diablo World again, the people in the camp saw that Lord Akara finally showed an unprecedentedly relaxed expression on his face.
I'm frantically asking for votes and favorites to help the lewd Sun Fei reach the pinnacle of this other world!
