Chapter 91: Chapter 79: Higher Order World - The Realm of Kings

"Time is up..." Gu Shanhai whispered as he looked at the two higher-order worlds that had appeared in the temporary space.

He had returned a day ago, having just upgraded his Spirit Root to E-level the day before yesterday, and then he had returned to recuperate.

This time, the opened higher-order worlds were the Martial World and the Western Fantasy World. The Martial World was more of the same, merely involving the grievances and entanglements of roaming the martial realm, inescapable from such matters.

However, the main storyline of the Western Fantasy World involved dynastic supremacy, giving off a vibe similar to a village brawl, considering the few number of people involved.

Five-hundred knights were enough to constitute a massive feud.

Both of these worlds weren’t of high power levels—the former being of lower martial prowess and the latter of lower magic. Of course, the levels weren’t too low, with both being about on par with "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."

The prolific outputs of the two worlds were also different, with the lower martial world producing various skills, permanent enhancement buffs, and various one-time-use items that increase permanent attributes and so forth.

The lower-magic Western Fantasy World, on the other hand, primarily produced various items, equipment as well as knight professions and other minor professions.

Gu Shanhai was heading to this lower-magic Western Fantasy World.

However, in his previous life, since he entered late, he hadn’t visited either of these worlds; he had directly jumped to the later Cultivation World and ascended in one step.

Luckily, he had gathered some information and didn’t have to worry about being completely in the dark upon arrival.

Although these worlds were of lower martial and magical levels at this stage, as the story progressed, both worlds elevated in power similar to the Divine Federation, advancing to high martial and high magic realms—one through the revival of heaven and earth, and the other through the emergence of the Holy Grail.

"Camelot Kingdom, that eternal Red Dragon King, tsk~" After glancing over the brief overview, this world of kingdoms was somewhat akin to the Britain of King Arthur, and indeed, it involved death in the end.

[High-order World: Kingdoms]

[Mission: Help Atilis Sitra successfully ascend the throne]

"I do your sister’s mission..." Gu Shanhai complained, not needing help with this absurd task, afraid that as soon he arrived, he would encounter problems.

He had already led the Human God astray and didn’t want to let the Red Dragon King escape his fate—this was not a good thing.

He had given two years of his life to the "First Epoch;" after all, it wasn’t a big deal, so he might as well proceed with his own plans first.

However, this also had its advantages. If he could become a Minister of Dragon and mix into the Round Table Knights, he would certainly benefit greatly later on.

Having Spirit Root Ability and various Spirit Plants and others, He Lingyun was bet on passively from the start. Thus, being part of the mission, besides avoiding a ticket fee, actually had benefits in the process of befriending the protagonist, but he didn’t wish to get involved with such political creatures.

At the beginning, He Lingyun was a complete softie, but with the appearance of the Human God, both his methods and ways of handling matters had become almost ruthless.

This future Red Dragon King, the Knight King, was the same; ascending as the King, he’d evolve into a political creature, though still representing justice, but power was also synonymous with him.

"Currently, I recall this Red Dragon King is still living as a foster child in some noble’s house and won’t truly reveal himself until he pulls out the Sword in the Stone—’Gold.’ There are still several months to go."

"No rush..."

Gu Shanhai hadn’t completely given up but was contemplating whether there was enough time; walking along with such a protagonist offered the greatest benefits like the protagonist’s favor.

He then confirmed his location; he found himself in some city, right at the starting point.

Most players’ starting points were random, so where one landed depended on luck; his luck was slightly better, not having landed directly on a main street but in a small alley instead.

"They probably won’t throw me directly next to a Red Dragon King, after all, the ’First Epoch’ wasn’t so shameless... right?"

Well, Gu Shanhai wasn’t actually all that confident.

Thus, he could only inquire about his current location; luckily, it really wasn’t, apparently because there was plenty of time for this mission, so it was tossed casually.

Besides that, he also learned that Camelot’s knights were about to start their annual battle for honor, and it was said that this time the competition was different.

Usually, it relied on personal skills and martial arts, but this time apart from competing, there were other segments, and the winner could become the new king of Camelot Kingdom.

Gu Shanhai naturally knew; it was nothing more than pulling out the Sword in the Stone—’Gold.’

He was still some distance from Camelot Royal Capital; if he really planned to go, it would take a considerable amount of time.

"Better go to the southern forest to find those Druids." This time, Gu Shanhai planned to learn from the Druids, mainly in terms of plant and prophecy arts.

In the Kingdoms world, the mainstream professions were Knights, followed by Priests, both highly favored.

There were also Druids and Wizards; the former was gradually declining while the latter was not favored because it didn’t align with mainstream preferences.

The decline of Druids was due to the rise of Priests. From Gu Shanhai’s information, Druids were actually a special case formed from a combination of Celtic mythological Priests and DND Druids, leading to a severe issue: too high and mighty without fitting in with the lower ranks.

A Priest should have just followed behind the royal authority, but they had to involve nature, hence gradually distancing from the political center, and later Priests rose, forming a new sacrificial system.
