Chapter 941, Golden City Wall

Translator: Silavin

 

Mikami Saburo’s words immediately lifted the spirits of everyone present.

 

He was right, no? Soon, everyone would become Immortal, and gain formidable power.

 

In comparison, any casualties within the Earth Tripartite indeed did not seem like something that could not be accepted. After all, compared to their past experience of Levelling, the difficulties before them now were trivial.

 

Everyone steeled themselves and continued advancing toward the deeper reaches of the Earth Tripartite.

 

Walking further ahead, they finally saw the towering city wall.

 

Even after an entire era had passed, this wall still glimmered with golden light, as though forged from pure gold.

 

Even in this world, gold remained a hard currency. Because gold served as a fundamental material in many forging and alchemy processes. Therefore, seeing such a gleaming golden wall standing here made many people’s breathing quicken.

 

After all, this wall stood not just thirty meters high, it stretched endlessly left and right, with no end in sight.

 

If it truly was crafted from pure gold, its value would be immeasurable. This wall alone was equivalent to a massive gold mine!

 

From the looks of it, this wall should be the dividing line between the inner and outer regions of the Earth Tripartite.

 

Outside belonged to the outer region of the Earth Tripartite.

 

Inside should belong to the Imperial City.

 

If Ancient Gods existed, then they should be in the deepest part of the Imperial City.

 

Mikami Saburo and the others stood somewhat dazed before such a magnificent golden city wall.

 

Then, Seifu Murasaki, the elderly woman, stepped forward proactively, took out a dagger, and carved a few marks on the city wall. She immediately exclaimed in surprise. “This… is actually forged from pure gold?!”

 

As soon as these words fell, many people cried out in astonishment.

 

This golden city wall should form a perfect closed loop, completely surrounding the Imperial City of the Earth Tripartite.

 

With the Earth Tripartite being so large, the length of the golden city wall must be extremely terrifying.

 

If they truly moved this entire golden wall away, the assets of any Clan present would certainly multiply several times, even over ten times!

 

With such abundant resources just lying here, who would not be tempted?

 

Never mind the others, even the Nichirin Clan, Seifu Clan, and Mikami Clan all started having some ideas.

 

However, the leaders of these three Clans were wise, understanding that now was not the time to discuss ownership rights of this golden city wall.

 

First, with such a golden wall standing here, how to actually move it remained a problem.

 

Second, with so many Clans here, if everyone divided it up, while the resources each would receive would not be small, they would not be particularly impressive either.

 

More importantly, this was a place where Ancient Gods existed. This golden city wall could also be said to be something an Ancient God owns.

 

To dig at the wall right in front of that Ancient God, then afterward shamelessly seek out the Ancient Gods saying they wanted to become their servants and receive its power…

 

Was that not too absurd?

 

If the Ancient Gods did not kill them all, that would count as having an excellent temper.

 

Therefore, whether based on reason or emotion, no one could touch this golden city wall.

 

Thus, Nichirin Takeshi took the lead, saying: “Everyone, I think we cannot let this golden city wall distract our attention and forget why we came here. Let this thing remain here for now. It is merely a wall. Once we truly become Immortal and possess extraordinary power, we won’t need such things at all.”

 

“Everyone listen up, don’t let your hands wander. If we disturb the Ancient Gods and cause them to harbour reservations towards us, they might refuse to bestow us with such opportunities, and that would be too much of a loss.”

 

The others, hearing this, felt it made perfect sense and no longer had any designs on this golden city wall.

 

Afterward, everyone prepared to climb over this golden city wall and enter the inner region of the Earth Tripartite.

 

However, when about to move, everyone discovered that this golden city wall indeed was not as simple as it appeared to be.

 

Even though this golden city wall had existed for an entire era, it still possessed miraculous power.

 

Not a single person present could use Flight Skills to fly over it.

 

Whenever they approached the golden city wall, Flight Skills would lose all Effect.

 

Simultaneously, Flying Mounts were the same. Before the golden city wall, they simply could not fly.

 

Later, everyone also tried flight items and Engineered Machinery, but all failed one by one.

 

There was even a Player with an Assassin Type Hidden Profession, Ninja.

 

He wanted to use hooks and similar tools to climb over from the city wall, but he too failed.

 

It seemed that as long as the wall stood here, attempting to climb over it was simply impossible.

 

Even Mikami Saburo, wanting to rely on his Earth Wall Skill, he had used previously, to send everyone into the Imperial City, also failed…

 

As soon as he tried to cast Earth Wall, his Skill instantly disintegrated.

 

At once, everyone’s forward path was completely blocked by the golden city wall.

 

Left with no choice, everyone could only dispatch several Players with relatively fast movement speed along the golden city wall to see if they could find a way into the city.

 

As a result, a wait that lasted two days occurred.

 

Two days later, Players from both directions returned, saying they did not know how far they had walked but they had not seen any city gate that could lead into the Imperial City.

 

It seemed this golden city wall was an iron barrel, tightly protecting the inner region, not allowing anyone to enter.

 

Nichirin Takeshi thought for a long time before saying with certainty: “It should be that the ancient people in the inner region have a type of Skill that could make this golden city wall change.”

 

“If they needed to enter the Imperial City, they would make it transform to create a city gate, allowing their own people to freely enter and exit. As for outsiders wanting to enter, they only have one path available, which is to launch an assault.”

 

“The Skills and power of the previous era is so profound and mysterious. They were probably no worse than our current era. So, it might not have been hard for them to create such a function within this wall”

 

Seifu Murasaki beside him said. “So you’re saying we can only take the assault route?”

 

Nichirin Takeshi nodded: “From the current perspective, it seems so. Otherwise, we could also try walking a circle around the city wall to see if there’s a so-called city gate. But completing this circuit would probably take another ten days to half a month. Moreover, we might not necessarily find a city gate either.”

 

“Not only that!” Mikami Saburo said, “If we encounter Monsters, our people will surely suffer many more losses. There are just too many fierce Monsters in the Earth Tripartite. I don’t recommend wandering around here. In comparison, an assault holds fewer risks.”

 

After thinking it over thoroughly, Seifu Murasaki nodded: “Alright then, let’s launch an assault and break open a gap in this golden city wall!”
