Chapter 1036: Chapter 481: 13 Sky Cities_2

[You had already experienced being bound once before, so instinctively, you lept to escape. However, you underestimated the speed of the ink, which wrapped around you faster and covered you again, but because you dodged in time, the ink only covered below your nose and mouth, leaving your eyes free.]

[In the next few seconds, before the ink rapidly spread and completely enveloped your head, with your eyes still exposed, you finally saw something on the surface of the sea ahead.]

[It was a huge tentacle of the Octopus King, covered with suckers, each with an eyeball growing right at its center.]

[The moment you saw the tentacle, the eyes on it also looked back at you. In that instant, you felt an indescribable wild aura that shook your spirit deeply, causing every cell in your body to tremble.]

[But then, that uncomfortable sensation suddenly cleared, and when you opened your eyes again, you found yourself in a peaceful and serene meadow surrounded by the naive laughter of children, the ground piled high with treasures and gold. In front of you, countless sheep lined up to leap into a fire pit, turning into golden, crispy roast whole sheep, brought right to your mouth...]

[The "Song of Peace" halo above your head quietly shattered!]

[You instantly snapped back to reality, and all the illusions before your eyes vanished. You realized that somehow you had jumped into the water and were plummeting rapidly downward, getting farther and farther from the surface. You struggled desperately but to no avail, and soon, you died from suffocation.]

[You have died!]

[Your soul was drawn back by the Soul-inducing Lamp, returning under the Green Lamp.]

[You were resurrected under the Soul-inducing Lamp, and fractures appeared on your Resurrection Stone...]

Mu You indeed died, without any complication or further struggle, for he had no intention of surviving when he first encountered that creature.

"Octopus... wild aura..."

Mu You looked at the text prompt above with some curiosity.

If it were just an octopus, he wouldn’t have thought much of it, but the prompt that followed indicated that the creature had the ability to pull people into illusions, and the game character felt a wild aura from the octopus.

All these pieces put together made Mu You instantly think of the Octopus King!

The Octopus King, the Nightmare Octopus, specializes in drawing people into dreams. Mu You had even personally visited the dreams of the Octopus King, and when he first saw the Octopus King, he felt a strangeness as if facing an ancient wild beast...

Could it be that the Octopus King was once a Divine Beast of the Real World? Was the octopus just now one of its kind?

Mu You was unsure for a moment.

But one thing was certain; this was trouble. The octopus guarding underwater probably ate anyone trying to approach the irrigation device.

Now, with giants guarding the land and an octopus guarding the water, humanity is completely trapped in this area...

After pondering, Mu You controlled his character to leave the Tower of Heroes and teleported back to Dawn City.

The first thing he did upon returning was to summon the Octopus King out at sea and inquire carefully about the creature’s background.

Unfortunately, the Octopus King seemed just as clueless, ignorant about Mu You’s questions, only saying that as far as it could remember, it had always been in the sea of the Star Spirit World, and it couldn’t remember anything else.

"So..."

Mu You stroked his chin. Although the Octopus King had no memory, he increasingly felt that the Octopus King might indeed originate from a giant world. Perhaps the gods had altered it, erasing its divinity and memory before casting it into the Star Spirit World as some kind of ’world easter egg’...

Mu You quickly came back to his senses. Regardless of whether the Octopus King was a real creature, he couldn’t visit the giant’s world within the next week. He decided to let the matter drop for the time being.

[You have arrived before the Statues of Gods.]

[You have completed today’s divine duty: Restoring order in one chaotic world (1/1), automatically obtaining 50 Divinity Points. Your current remaining divinity: 951 points.]

After four or five hours of gameplay, it was now 1 a.m. the following day, and the cave he just repaired in the game was counted as today’s divine duty.

Although this exploration didn’t last long, the harvest was quite good, apart from various scattered materials. In total, he had obtained 105 Divinity Points and a highly useful Hidden Relic.

Before entering the tower, Mu You also paid special attention to his experience points. Looking again now, he saw his experience had increased by 11,000+!

This proved that killing monsters in the giant’s world indeed yielded experience, only without prompts there.

Based on the amount of experience gained, the efficiency seemed to match that of killing exotic beasts on Earth, namely 1 real-life point = 1 experience point, and it was very likely real experience!

Real experience automatically helped break through bottlenecks below level 20. For those above level 20, it seemed to have no effect, but actually, it did.

For city lords like him, real experience had another important use: after reaching level 30, they could use the real experience accumulated to exchange for regular experience at a ratio of 1:1000 from the experience pool in the Statues of Gods!

What is the experience pool? Similar to the Divinity Pool, it’s actually the experience stored by believers in the Statues of Gods.

One of the functions of the Statues of Gods: When believers reach a level bottleneck, they can use ten times the experience of the next level’s experience bar to obtain one point of real experience to break through the bottleneck. The experience they deposit is stored untouched by the Statues of Gods for their own deities’ use.
