âYouâll help us secure the Ancient Godâs Tower?â
Shi Fengâs question stunned Blue Rainbow and Elder Gold.
âMhm. As long as you secure the Ancient Godâs Tower before anyone else, youâll have full control of the towerâs teleportation array for a certain time, correct?â Shi Feng said.
The Ancient Godâs Tower had a total of seven floors, and each housed several teleportation arrays to different Otherworlds. Some were even connected to resource-rich secret lands. The first player to conquer any of the floorâs trials would become the floorâs first Floor Master. Once a month, players could contest for the title.
If Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society could conquer the Ancient Godâs Towerâs first floor, they would have full control of that floor for the next month, and no one could leave the Dark World through the teleportation arrays during that time.
âGuild Leader Black Flame, you might not be aware, but the Ancient Godâs Tower isnât like the Dark Worldâs Teleportation Gate. Aside from the intense suppression non-Dark Players like yourself face in the Dark World, players are prohibited from using tools within the tower. NPCs cannot enter the tower, either. Players will have to rely on their own strength and skills to clear the trials,â Elder Gold said.
He didnât doubt Zero Wingâs strength, but the Ancient Godâs Tower was in the Dark World, where non-Dark Players wouldnât be able to exhibit their full strength. Including the ban on tools and NPCs, Zero Wing wouldnât accomplish anything in the tower. If it were so easy, Demonâs Heart wouldnât have bothered to gather the Dark Worldâs various powers in an attempt to conquer the tower and wouldâve sought the help of the main continentâs superpowers instead. The various superpowers certainly had the strength to trample the Dark Worldâs various powers, normally.
âThatâs right. Not only do the Ancient Godâs Towerâs trials have a strict time limit, but weâll also need a minimum of 200 Tier 3 experts to clear them. Without enough players, we wonât be able to handle the hordes of monsters within, not to mention capture the towerâs cities. While our Guilds can barely gather 200 Tier 3 experts, the first floorâs trial is just as difficult as a Level 100, super-large-scale Team Dungeon. Our experts simply donât meet the weapon, equipment, Skill, and Spell requirements,â Blue Rainbow insisted, nodding.
Their two Guilds had considered raiding the Ancient Godâs Tower, but the feat was too difficult. No individual power in the Dark World could even clear the first floorâs trial.
Unfortunately, Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society no longer had the option of allying with other powers. After the Dark Worldâs invading army had been defeated, Demonâs Heart had exposed their Guildsâ alliance with Zero Wing, instantly isolating them from the rest of the Dark World. As a result, both Guilds were forced into deepening their relationship with Zero Wing. If they didnât, their Guilds would be doomed once Demonâs Heart and the Dark Worldâs other powers conquered the Ancient Godâs Towerâs first floor.
âRelax. That wonât be a problem,â Shi Feng said, chuckling. âHowever, I have an extra condition if we succeed.â
Shi Feng knew far more about the Ancient Godâs Tower than any player in Godâs Domain, and as such, he knew that the two Guilds had no chance of success, even if they worked together. That was only true for the current Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society, however.
âAre you really that confident in our success, Guild Leader Black Flame?â Blue Rainbow asked.
She knew that Zero Wing had extraordinary Tier 3 experts, but the suppression regular players faced in the Dark World was nothing to ignore. Even ordinary Domain Realm experts would, at best, exhibit Void Realm combat standards.
This was why the main continentâs various superpowers had allied with the Dark Worldâs powers, rather than invade the Otherworld.
âWhile I canât guarantee our success, Iâm 70% to 80% confident,â Shi Feng replied.
âE-Eighty percent?â Elder Gold stuttered, his eyes going wide. If Shi Feng hadnât personally captured the Dark Worldâs Teleportation Gate, he wouldâve assumed the Swordsman was an escaped lunatic from a mental asylum.
Even without the Dark Worldâs suppression, the various superpowers wouldnât be guaranteed to conquer the Ancient Godâs Towerâs first floor. Even with its heaven-defying foundations, Zero Wing should, at best, have a 40% success rate. Seventy or eighty percent was practically ensured victory.
âMay I know of your conditions, Guild Leader Black Flame?â Blue Rainbow asked after calming down.
Although she didnât know whether or not Shi Feng was telling the truth, Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society would only benefit if his plan succeeded. They had no reason to refuse.
âItâs quite simple. I want 80% of the Ancient Godâs Towerâs profits. I also want the authority to manage your Guildsâ main force members. In addition, my command will take precedence over your Guild Leadersâ during times of impending danger,â Shi Feng said after giving the matter some thought.
âThisâŚâ Elder Gold could not help but hesitate.
If Zero Wing helped them gain control over the Ancient Godâs Tower, their Guilds wouldnât mind splitting the profits. They could even accept only 20%, but giving up control of their main force members was absurd!
âRest assured; I wonât interfere with your main forcesâ daily activities. They just need to follow orders when I need them,â Shi Feng said. âOf course, you can return and take the time to consider my proposal. I donât need an answer right away.â
âWe have no need to consider the offer, Guild Leader Black Flame; Dark Rhapsody agrees. In return, Zero Wing must allow our members to travel through the Teleportation Gate freely. Of course, Dark Rhapsody will do its best to assist in establishing the Candlelight Trading Firm in the Dark World,â Blue Rainbow abruptly interjected.
âRainbow, are you insane? Youâre talking about the management rights for your Guildâs main force!â Elder Gold asked as he stared at the female Dark Knight in shock. Agreeing to this condition was on par with handing Shi Feng control of a fraction of Dark Rhapsodyâs backbone. Claiming that Shi Feng would act as a partial Guild Leader was no exaggeration.
âIâm still sane. My Guild Leader impressed upon me the importance of cooperating with Zero Wing. Moreover, I donât think that Guild Leader Black Flame actually fancies our two Guildsâ main forces,â Blue Rainbow informed Elder Gold via a whisper.
Realization immediately dawned on the older man.
Zero Wing no longer lacked manpower. With every moment, a ton of experts applied to join the Guild, and Zero Wing now controlled the Dark Worldâs Teleportation Gate. Until someone activated the Ancient Godâs Tower, Zero Wing had a firm grasp on the Dark Worldâs lifeline.
In truth, even Shi Feng was a little surprised. He hadnât expected Blue Rainbow to agree so decisively. Any other large Guildâs upper echelon wouldâve likely turned and left in a huff.
âDeal! Deity Society will agree to your conditions, as well, Guild Leader Black Flame. However, Deity Society wants the same conditions as Dark Rhapsody in return,â Elder Gold said, sighing.
Now that the Dark Worldâs various powers recognized their Guilds as Zero Wingâs allies, they had no choice but to stick by Zero Wing until the very end. Moreover, an alliance with this Guild would ensure that both Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society could develop far faster than their Dark counterparts.
âThat wonât be a problem. Once we sign the contract, your Guildsâ members may use the Teleportation Gate to their heartsâ content,â Shi Feng agreed, nodding.
âWhat do we do once the contract has been signed?â Elder Gold asked.

Demonâs Heart was already in a rush to find allies to conquer the Ancient Godâs Tower. Once its team had enough Tier 3 experts, it would challenge the towerâs trials. Hence, Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society were running out of time.
âSimple. Send your main force members to Stone Forest City immediately. Zero Wing will take responsibility for their growth,â Shi Feng said, chuckling.
Everything in Godâs Domain boiled down to playersâ strength, including raiding Team Dungeons and the Ancient Godâs Tower. As long as he could help the two Guildsâ main force members grow strong enough, raiding the tower wouldnât be an issue.
âTheir growth?â Shi Fengâs demand stunned Blue Rainbow. She had never thought heâd choose such an option. âWhere are we going?â
âTo the Level 120 Secret Land, Poison City!â Shi Feng declared.
