Chapter 982 – Underestimated Primordial World....
Skeleton Hill, primordial civilization city:
After Shi Feng had the Chapter of Space absorb 50,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal, a large space-time summoning array appeared on the ground. A moment later, a hundred indistinct silhouettes appeared in the summoning array.
These silhouettes became more defined as the absorbed Seven Luminaries Crystals supplied their mana to the Chapter of Space. When all 50,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal were exhausted, these silhouettes transformed into spatial tears that spat out Purgatory Jade and the rest of her 100-man team.
Purgatory Jade and her teammates had undergone tremendous changes since Shi Feng last saw them, their average level having increased from Level 240 to Level 243. Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon had even risen to Level 245.
“Level 245?” Shi Feng gasped as he looked at Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon.
Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon might only be two levels higher than their Level 243 teammates, but anyone who had encountered Level 245 NPCs before would know that there was a qualitative difference between the two levels. This was because weapons and equipment received a relatively significant improvement every five levels. As Level 245 players, Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon could equip Level 245 weapons and equipment.
Of course, Shi Feng wouldn’t have been so surprised if Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon had simply reached Level 245. After all, player-usable Level 245 weapons and equipment did not exist in the Greater God’s Domain. The best weapons and equipment players could access were Divine Artifacts, which had a hidden cap of Level 240.
The reason for Shi Feng’s intemperate reaction was that Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon were fully equipped with Level 245 Taboo Legendary Weapons and Equipment. This had completely shattered his general knowledge of the Greater God’s Domain.
“Thanks to the Intermediate Divine Strengthening Scrolls, we could finally kill Level 245 Bosses and level up to 245,” Purgatory Jade said happily. “We also got lucky. Those Bosses dropped a bunch of Level 245 weapons and equipment we could use.”
They drop Level 245 weapons and equipment? As Shi Feng scrutinized Purgatory Jade’s suit of dark plate armor, a hint of shock and ecstasy colored his eyes.
Shi Feng had never heard of anyone obtaining Level 245 weapons and equipment in his previous life. In the eyes of the Greater God’s Domain’s players, Level 240 Divine Artifacts were the best weapons and equipment players could obtain. Even the Holy Race was no exception.
Yet, according to Purgatory Jade, the remnant primordial world not only had Level 245 monsters, but these monsters also dropped Level 245 Taboo Legendary Weapons and Equipment. This completely changed his perception of the remnant primordial world.
Shi Feng’s first impression of the remnant primordial world was that it was a good place to level up. This was because high-level monsters were all over the place, allowing players to reach Level 240 and beyond relatively easily. In comparison, players in the Greater God’s Domain had to rely on Level 240-plus Taboo Secret Lands to go beyond Level 240, and there were only three such secret lands across the Greater God’s Domain.
Unfortunately, this boon came with major flaws. Unlike in the Greater God’s Domain, Combat Technique Legacies available in the remnant primordial world only went up to the Gold rank. The quality of the remnant primordial world’s weapons was also relatively low, with Fragmented Divine Artifacts nearly nonexistent. If Purgatory Jade hadn’t participated in the Tosas raid and gotten herself a growth-type Godly Relic, she would have been limited to using Level 240 Taboo Legendary Equipment for the rest of her life.
The remnant primordial world was so lacking in advantages that Shi Feng was still hesitant about establishing a pathway to it when he ordered Blackie to transfer the Divine Pathstone. After all, Divine Pathstones were incredibly rare, having appeared only a handful of times among the three races in his previous life. He had only stuck to his decision because of Evil Nature’s bounty and the Nebula Consortium’s persecution.
If Zero Wing could not solve its current predicament, its development would be restricted to the Crystal City of Secrets and Shadowring Town. Although Zero Wing had access to Luminous Sky City, due to the city’s proximity to the frontlines of the war among the three races, the Guild would have to commit a lot of its manpower to the city if it wanted to develop there, a luxury it currently couldn’t afford.
Hence, it was necessary to establish a path to the remnant primordial world. Not only would this let more Zero Wing members level up quickly, but it would also let Zero Wing recruit members from an entire Realm’s worth of players[1], killing two birds with one stone.
But now, Shi Feng found that he had severely underestimated the remnant primordial world.
Level 245 Taboo Legendary Equipment!
Although it remained slightly inferior to Divine Artifacts in Basic Attributes, it trumped Divine Artifacts in availability. The fact that Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon could get themselves a full set in such a short time proved that the drop rate was good. If the effects of Secret Treasures and Advanced Divine Strengthening Scrolls were included, Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon should match Level 240 experts fully equipped with Divine Artifacts in Basic Attributes.
Even the Holy Race’s royal powers did not have many Level 240 experts fully equipped with Divine Artifacts. Each of these experts was a stabilizing force that even Epic Siege Weapons could not kill easily.
If Zero Wing could come up with a thousand Level 245 fifth-floor experts fully equipped with Level 245 Taboo Legendary Weapons and Equipment, it would become truly unstoppable in the current Eternal Realm.
“You seem very interested in my equipment, Guild Leader Black Flame,” Purgatory Jade said, grinning when she saw Shi Feng’s eyes glued to her equipment. “Since you’re so interested, I can exercise my authority to sell a set to you. As for the price, how about two Divine Artifacts or two Fantasy-ranked Secret Treasures?”
“Two Divine Artifacts or two Fantasy-ranked Secret Treasures?” Shi Feng immediately shook his head at Purgatory Jade’s offer. “While it is an acceptable price, I don’t have any excess Divine Artifacts or Fantasy-ranked Secret Treasures.”
Although Zero Wing had obtained some Divine Artifacts exclusive to Holy Race players from Evil Nature’s treasury, Shi Feng had already instructed Blackie to use Origin Myth to convert them into Divine Artifacts that were usable by human players. It was like how he converted the Sunlight Blade and gave it to Fire Dance. Hence, Zero Wing had no excess Divine Artifacts it could use to trade.
As for Fantasy-ranked Secret Treasures, they were even scarcer than Divine Artifacts. Securing the First Clear of God Mode Team Dungeons was the only reliable way to obtain them. Due to this scarcity, nobody would trade their Fantasy-ranked Secret Treasures away.
It wasn’t a bad deal to trade a full set of Level 245 Taboo Legendary Equipment for two Divine Artifacts. However, it wasn’t a profitable deal, either. After all, without Advanced Divine Strengthening Scrolls, Level 245 Taboo Legendary Equipment would only match Level 240 Fragmented Divine Artifacts.
Based on current market rates, one Divine Artifact was worth about five or six Fragmented Divine Artifacts. So, two Divine Artifacts could be traded for a full set of Fragmented Divine Artifacts. However, nobody would ever trade their Divine Artifacts at such rates.
“What a pity,” Purgatory Jade sighed. However, she kept her smile and continued, “If you have any unneeded Divine Artifacts or Fantasy-ranked Secret Treasures, you must save them for me. I promise Dragon’s Crown will give you a satisfactory price.”
“Don’t be too disappointed, Miss Jade,” Shi Feng said, chuckling. “Although I won’t be buying your items, I have an offer worth far more than a few Divine Artifacts and Fantasy-ranked Secret Treasures.”
“Really? What is it?” Purgatory Jade asked, looking at Shi Feng with eyes bright with curiosity.
“Long-term entry into the Eternal Realm!” Shi Feng stated.

TL Notes:
[1]an entire Realm’s worth of players: This isn’t a mistranslation. I assume the remnant primordial world is a very populated world? For reference, in Chapter 870, it is mentioned that Nightmare Holy City has a population of over 300 million players.
