Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 786: Chapter 381: Promotion Requirements for Middle Position in God Realm! (Two in One)_2

Of course, Chen Mo’s journey to this point wasn’t risk-free. He had just subconsciously chosen to ignore those risks. He had managed to reach this point by traversing a lengthy defensive line and evading all the illusion beasts. Under normal circumstances, if anyone else had tried to travel this far, they wouldn’t have even made it a tenth of the way before being slain by an illusion beast. Even so, considering the potential rewards, the risks indeed seemed much less significant. Whether there were any other hidden dangers would only be known once Chen Mo returned after collecting all the gifts.

After bidding farewell to the remnant of Serene’s consciousness, Chen Mo did not rush to leave the Grave of Gods. After all, he had come here with a mission to complete. He had yet to find the bodies of the individuals related to the quest, so how could he possibly leave just like that?

Zhui Yi had previously gone to the corresponding location based on the consciousness information left by the quest issuer, but unfortunately, had not found the bodies of the deceased persons mentioned by the quest issuer there. Chen Mo found this somewhat strange.

According to what the owner of the Adventurer’s Tavern had said previously, the illusion beasts within the Grave of Gods were not interested in remains that had lost their souls and were mere husks, much less would they move them.

Then what could be the reason for the sudden disappearance of the bodies of those few people who had already died?

Curious about this, Chen Mo immediately went to the vicinity of the target location and began searching. The areas Zhui Yi had previously traversed had already proven to contain nothing relevant. This time, Chen Mo naturally focused his search on regions Zhui Yi had not explored.

Using the location mentioned by the quest issuer as the center, he expanded his search outward in all directions. After searching in widening circles for over two thousand meters, Chen Mo finally made a discovery.

He had found the bodies of the few friends mentioned by the quest issuer. Besides their remains, Chen Mo also found several other bodies.

Seeing these bodies, Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

Weren’t these the individuals the owner had shown him before, the ones who had accepted this quest?

Quests released by the Adventurer’s Guild are posted in various Adventurer’s Taverns. Some are exclusive quests, while others are competitive quests. For exclusive quests, once someone accepts the quest, its posting is temporarily suspended everywhere. The quest is only reposted if it’s confirmed that the quest taker has exceeded the time limit without completion, or if there is sufficient information indicating the quest taker has died. Competitive quests, however, can be accepted by multiple Adventurers. Whoever completes it first and brings back the relevant proof receives the reward. As for those who complete it later, even if they bring back the same spoils, they can no longer receive the quest reward but can still earn equivalent adventurer points. Adventurer points are something that can raise an Adventurer’s Level. Furthermore, accumulated adventurer points can also be exchanged for good items at the Adventurer’s Guild.

Therefore, for such competitive quests, even if someone has already accepted it, others will often continue to accept it without concern. Finishing later than others, at most, just means a slightly smaller final reward. Of course, if a competitive quest involves a unique proof of completion, then once it’s completed by someone earlier, subsequent acceptors will have no way to find the corresponding proof, meaning their efforts would be in vain. So, generally, not many people would accept this type of quest.

For example, Chen Mo’s current quest was of this kind. Once it was completed by someone who had accepted it, other acceptors of the same quest would have no way to find a similar item of proof to verify their own progress. However, because the reward for this quest was quite rare, quite a few people were interested in it.

Unexpectedly, even if some of these people could reach this deep place, they were still unable to bring these bodies back and survive the attempt.

Chen Mo glanced at the corpses of the small team’s members, his face showing little emotion. With a casual wave of his hand, he swept the bodies required for the quest into his Divine Domain World and prepared to leave the perilous Grave of Gods.

When they entered, Evia had a large number of insect larvae. Now, Evia’s larvae had dwindled to less than a quarter of their original number. If they continued exploring, Evia would no longer be able to help Chen Mo scout the safety of the surrounding areas in advance.

Seeing this, Chen Mo had no intention of lingering. He immediately took Evia and Zhui Yi and returned towards the exit via the shortest path.

On their way back, they happened to encounter other native inhabitants of the World of Heavenly Element entering the Grave of Gods to explore. Chen Mo couldn’t help but be impressed by their audacity.

They’re typical examples of people who’d risk their lives for money.

He had no desire to visit such a place, where the extent of danger was difficult to ascertain, multiple times. As the saying goes, “A gentleman does not stand beneath a collapsing wall.” This world is so vast and fascinating; there are plenty of other places to find treasures. There was no need to stubbornly fixate on a place where the danger level was so unknown.

Of course, it was said that the rewards and benefits within the Grave of Gods were not restricted by the regions of the World of Heavenly Element. These native inhabitants from the Third Region of the World of Heavenly Element, by braving the Grave of Gods, truly had a chance to directly obtain the power to enter the Fourth or even Fifth Region.

Thinking about it carefully, it’s no wonder they are so keen on exploring this place.

They returned safely to the outside world. When Chen Mo and his two companions stood before the stone wall once more, Evia’s insect larvae also emerged one after another. The originally vast swarm of insects had now dwindled to less than a tenth of its former numbers. Evia immediately recalled these insect larvae into her bug sack.

“Evia, your insects suffered heavy losses this time. For the time being, focus on recuperating and producing in my Divine Domain World. I will provide you with sufficient Energy.”

“Yes, Master!”

Hearing her Master willingly allow her to reproduce in his Divine Domain World, Evia appeared quite pleased.

Chen Mo then looked at Zhui Yi beside him and said, “Next, you’ll have to continue working hard. The items I need for my advancement this time all lack any clues about their location. We’ll need to ask around everywhere. So, let’s split up and start inquiring. Once you’ve gathered any information, immediately return to one of my Divine Domains. I’ll be able to sense it then and come directly to receive the information.”

“Yes, My Lord. I will head to the southern region to seek relevant information, while you head to the northern part of the Third Region.”

“Alright. The Adventurer’s Tavern where I need to submit the quest is in the northern region.”

“Then I shall take my leave.”

After speaking, Zhui Yi vanished with a Divine Flicker. Seeing this, Chen Mo didn’t linger either, using a Divine Flicker to return directly to the previous town filled with yurts.

The Adventurer’s Tavern here was still as bustling as before, unchanged. Chen Mo pushed open the tavern door and walked straight to the beautiful, red-haired, purple-lipped owner.

“Honorable Destined One, why are you back so soon? Did you encounter any difficulties during the quest?”

The Grave of Gods is not an easy place to brave. Typically, anyone who enters must proceed with extreme caution every step of the way. Therefore, it’s quite normal for those who go to the Grave of Gods to take ten days to half a month to complete a quest and return. Yet Chen Mo had returned in less than half a day. The beautiful owner naturally hadn’t expected that Chen Mo had actually reached the depths of the Grave of Gods and safely brought back all the bodies mentioned in the quest.

Chen Mo looked at the proprietress and smiled. “I didn’t encounter any difficulties. However, I do have some questions I’d like to ask you. But before inquiring about those matters, I’m here to submit the quest.”
