I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1539 - Chapter 1539 Chapter 1540 Deprivation

Chapter 1539: Chapter 1540 Deprivation Chapter 1539: Chapter 1540 Deprivation Song Jian reappeared, the City Alliance beat a hasty retreat, the maiden of the Church of Light was murdered, and the red-robed High Priest who cast divine descent was slain, these tidings swept through the game world like a deluge, shaking the nerves of everyone involved.

Not only were players incredulous, but even the NPC professionals within the game world were astounded. They had assumed Hope City would fall to the City Alliance, but the outcome flipped dramatically, slapping many faces.

“My God, everyone thought the first five-level city established by a player would be destroyed overnight, but who could have expected such a shocking turn of events…”

“What level is Song Jian now? He’s able to take down even King Level BOSSes by himself, and he even killed seven or eight in a row…”

“It’s not just King Level, I heard that the red-robed High Priest who performed the God Descending Technique was almost at the Demi-God Level, but was still taken down by Song Jian, he’s practically a monstrous existence…”

Every city’s taverns and all the player forums built into the game were nearly overwhelmed with messages about Song Jian slaying Legendary Realm powerhouses and driving out various temples from the city.

Legendary Realm powerhouses were regarded almost like gods in everyone’s eyes, yet a slayer of gods had emerged among the players.

Inside Hope City, it was like a festive celebration, a scene of jubilation, with everyone shouting Song Jian’s name. Song Jian’s prestige instantly reached its peak.

“City Lord, your name has disappeared from the level and glory rankings for several days now, we originally thought you, we thought you…” Luo Tianyu’s eyes were somewhat red. A lot of the management in Hope City wanted to compromise, and a significant reason was that Song Jian, who was originally at the top of the level and glory rankings, had vanished without a trace.

Usually, when a name disappears from the level and glory rankings, it means the person has died and vanished from the game world.

Song Jian was taken aback; it had been a long time since he opened the level and glory rankings. A while ago, he had stopped competing with players and was instead fighting old monsters, the chieftain BOSSes who had been cultivating for decades, if not hundreds of years.

While others were still teaming up to take on elite BOSSes, Song Jian was already capable of soloing Dominance Level and King Level BOSSes, so he had never paid attention to the level and glory rankings.

After opening the level and glory rankings, besides the normal rankings, there was a line of red text at the bottom explaining why Song Jian’s name had disappeared from the listings.

“Any powerhouse who advances to the Legendary Realm will have their name disappear from the level and glory rankings!”

Song Jian suddenly realized that his name had disappeared, most likely during the breakthrough to the Legendary Realm a few days ago at the Imperial Sword Sect.

“Once you break through to the Legendary Realm, you automatically go off the list,” Song Jian said with a smile.

“City Lord, what exactly is your level now? Can you tell us?” Wang Qi couldn’t help asking.

To the people present, no matter how high their level, Song Jian’s level appeared as that of a skeleton, indicating that Song Jian’s level was more than ten levels higher than that of the highest-level person present.

“One hundred fifty levels, peak of the Legendary Realm, beyond that lies the Demi-God Level, but the Demi-God Level is a hurdle that is difficult for players to overcome!” Song Jian shook his head, “For the Legendary Realm, as long as you reach level one hundred and twenty, you can break through, it will be easy for players, and in the future, all players will become Legendary Realm powerhouses.”

The gateway to the Legendary Realm was nonexistent for players, but NPC professionals had to comprehend Domain Power on their own.

“Descendant of the God, I finally understand why those NPCs call us players ‘Descendants of the God’, it’s practically cheating, but I like it, hahaha!”

A group of people burst into frenzied laughter. On that day, Legendary Realm powerhouses descended into the City of Hope’s square like deities, their imposing presence oppressing the hundreds of thousands of players present. Regardless of their affiliation with the City of Hope, nearly all players had a pent-up breath, and now, hearing that they could break through to the Legendary Realm as soon as they reached the required level, all the players suddenly felt a sense of exhilaration.

“When the time comes, we’ll also group up and tour the other cities. Imagine hundreds of Legendary Realm powerhouses pressing down on them. That’ll scare them to death!” one of the City of Hope’s managers said, his face filled with discontent.

“Haha, Xiao Feng, talk about it when you reach level one hundred and twenty. With your leveling pattern of three days fishing and two days drying the nets, it’ll take you at least three more years to reach level one hundred and twenty. By then, we might have broken through to the Demi-God Level!” Wang Qi joked.

“Brother Wang, don’t you look down on me. I’ve recently received a hidden consecutive quest, and I’ve already completed the third ring. The reward for the quest is a Purple Crystal. Do you know what that is? Using it can directly increase your level!” Xiao Feng said with a proud look.

“Yo, Xiao Feng, so you’ve started to get your hands on Purple Crystals, huh? Looks like you really are amazing. Hahaha!”

“What, you all know what Purple Crystals are?”

“Hahaha, the system gives out a quest that rewards a Purple Crystal once your level and strength have reached a certain threshold. Of course, we’ve known about it for a while!”

…

Hearing everyone jesting, Song Jian’s mind suddenly stirred. He had seen a Purple Crystal mine before, but unfortunately, it was too far from the City of Hope; otherwise, they could mine Purple Crystals just like they did in the Valley of the Undead. By then, the levels of the City of Hope’s residents would soar in a short time.

“By the way, my Lord, I find it strange that they invaded our City of Hope this time. It seems like there’s a big secret hidden within the City of Hope, like a massive treasure trove. Otherwise, why would so many people come here, even the Church’s Holy Virgin and the High Priest…” Wang Qi suddenly said in a low voice.

Song Jian was startled and then remembered that the High Priest in the red robe had mentioned there seemed to be a relic beneath the City of Hope.

“What kind of treasure could be buried in a relic that even the Church of Light deems important?” Song Jian wondered in his heart.

“Wang Qi, mobilize everyone these next few days to search beneath our city. There might be a relic hidden down there. Check if we can find an entrance. When we do, let’s explore it together…” Song Jian instructed.

“Understood, my Lord!” Wang Qi nodded.

Just then, Song Jian’s system notification area suddenly filled with a cascade of alert tones.

System: The City of Sin’s Lord has stripped you of your Count title, and your Count’s estate has been reclaimed;

System: The City of Sin has listed the City of Hope as an “Unfriendly City”. Trade between the two cities will be severely affected, and your reputation in the City of Sin has dropped to Cold.

System: The City of Hymns has listed the City of Hope as an “Unfriendly City”. Trade between the two cities will be severely affected, and your reputation in the City of Hymns has dropped to Cold.
