Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 176: The True Mastermind Behind the New Cosmos Sect


Despite Cui Chengze being eager to set up the mystical ceremony, Wu Chang still pressed him down, telling him to wait until dawn before taking action.

The faction he belonged to had just taken the top spot in the power rankings. Tonight was the most dangerous moment; by tomorrow morning, the atmosphere on the ship would be more relaxed.

Judging from the performance in the past few days at sea, at least within the Shipwreck Belt, each faction more or less maintained peace and order on the ship, striving to ensure the safety of the passengers.

This common understanding made the players very restrained about the scope and timing of conflicts, resolving most matters that could be settled at night during the night.

Of course, this tacit agreement would only hold within the Shipwreck Belt. If Captain Jiang Junsu hadn't been taken out by Wu Chang, this tacit understanding would end soon with the crew stirring up conflicts.

Wu Chang taking out Jiang Junsu, in a sense, extended this tacit agreement and made his takeover of the Star Jump much smoother.

Just as he had anticipated, tonight was far from calm.

The call from the deep sea did not cease. To prevent passengers from throwing themselves into the sea, the secretary could only lead people to forcibly lock the cabin doors from the outside.

Had this been a few days earlier, doing so would have definitely triggered panic. But now, with everyone's situation openly laid out, and Wu Chang taking over the Star Jump in the open, everyone was in strong support of the external locking of the cabins.

Apart from the call from the deep sea, sure enough, players from other factions appeared to create chaos.

Two groups appeared in succession, harassing and probing Sword Star and others.

The strength of Shadow and Great White Shark was robust; combined with the support from players on Li Yubin's side, they didn't encounter any danger.

Among the two attacks, one group belonged to the faction under Jiang Junsu.

The death of Jiang Junsu did not seem to lead to the immediate collapse of their faction. They seemed to have received instructions from others and continued to launch attacks on Wu Chang's faction.

The other group belonged to the New Cosmos Sect, but the attack from the New Cosmos Sect appeared to be a personal act, with only a few small fry making a stir, the Secret Ceremony Master did not make a move.

Being attacked was within Wu Chang's expectations; not being attacked would have left him puzzled.

With so many factions on the ship, as it stands, only Li Yubin was on friendly terms with him. In the eyes of the other factions, he should be in adversarial relations with them.

Why haven't they taken action?

Wu Chang did not have time to think deeply about it. After breakfast, hearing the reports from the secretary and Sword Star on last night's work, Cui Chengze dragged him off to start setting up the mystical ceremony.

The first stop they headed to was the control room.

The construction of the Star Jump was quite intricate. According to Cui Chengze, the entire ship was built to accommodate the mystical ceremony, with the distribution of personnel and important areas on the ship aligning with the mystical ceremony set up by the New Cosmos Sect.

Rather than a ship, it is more like a mobile altar capable of navigating the sea.

The Louis and the Sea Song that Cui Chengze had taken before did not have such a high degree of completion.

This indicates that from the very beginning of the ship's construction, it was prepared for this one sacrifice.

The control room of the Star Jump is one of the nerve centers of the entire ship. The New Cosmos Sect placed their mystical ceremony node here, and Cui Chengze also had an eye on this place.

The highest authority card held by Wu Chang, belonging to the captain, not only allowed them to open the control room, letting them enter it, but also allowed the mystical ceremony inside the control room to recognize them as friendly, permitting their entry.

As soon as the two entered the control room, they saw many mystical items arranged according to special positions. Many parts of the walls, floors, and ceilings were also drawn with runes in different colors of ink.

These runes and setups had a strong atmospheric feel, an odd beauty. Ordinary crew members or passengers who entered would only think this was a different style of decoration and wouldn't suspect anything.

But in the eyes of someone like Cui Chengze, a user of mysticism, this was a complex large-scale mystical ceremony node.

The complexity of the mystical ceremony inside the control room exceeded Cui Chengze's expectations. Seeing this, he couldn't bother with the prepared mystical ceremony first and started researching the ceremony node within the control room.

After more than ten minutes, he finished deciphering the last piece of rune in a corner of the floor, suddenly looked up, and exclaimed:

"Oh no, it's actually the Earthly Divine Kingdom ceremony!"

Wu Chang was taken aback upon hearing this. He had previously seen Park Changmin and others plant mysticism seeds in their followers and was still guessing whether the ceremony set up on the ship was the Earthly Divine Kingdom. Now it could be confirmed; it really was.

However, what surprised him more than the Earthly Divine Kingdom was Cui Chengze's reaction.

"You can actually recognize the Earthly Divine Kingdom; is this also passed down in your family?"

It's important to know that the Earthly Divine Kingdom isn't an ordinary mystical ceremony; it's one of the highest existences in the mysticism knowledge of the Desolate Realm.

Not only is the setup threshold high, but it must also be completed by a master of mysticism. Acquiring the ceremony's blueprint and array is also very difficult. Most need to establish contact with a god in the deeper layers of the Abyss and gain the god's favor to obtain it.

Ordinary users of mysticism can't even recognize the Earthly Divine Kingdom from the ceremony setup, let alone even know the four words Earthly Divine Kingdom.

Cui Chengze had mentioned that his knowledge of mysticism was inherited from his ancestor who was once a Royal Wizard.

Did his ancestor have such strength? Not only able to set up the Earthly Divine Kingdom but also able to document and pass down the ceremony and array of the Earthly Divine Kingdom?

After a brief hesitation, Cui Chengze explained:
