53: First random teleport

What appeared in Ye Chen's eyes this time was a magic circle and a piece of text.

It was a sacrificial magic circle and its accompanying sacrificial text, pointing directly to the Abyss Will.

TheFamilys can engrave small sacrificial magic circles on their bodies, and by activating them with Abyss Power, they can absorb small things like souls.

If large items or even an entire world need to be sacrificed, a large sacrificial magic circle must be engraved, and a certain number ofFamilys are required to collectively recite the sacrificial text.

With these things, the Abyss invasion also had aPrototype.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and decided to create an Abyss assessment system, which is a contribution system.

Ye Chen named this contribution 'Karma Fire'.

The contributions made by theFamilys in conquering the Otherworld after invading it, or the items sacrificed to the Abyss, will all be recorded as Karma Fire.

When the Karma Fire reaches a certain amount, it can be consumed to allow the Abyss to grant them enhanced rewards.

If they die, they can also consume Karma Fire to revive.

After all, each resurrection requires the consumption of Abyss Power; Ye Chen can't be expected to pay for all of it.

Of course, in the early stages when there is no Karma Fire, they can be in debt or borrow from otherFamilys.

Once the Abyss develops maturely, Karma Fire can be used as a currency.

After considering everything, he had the Abyss Will construct the Karma Fire system, and at the same time, engraved a sacrificial magic circle on everyFamily.

TheFamilys resurrected in the Abyss carried more or less Abyss Power on them, except for the group of “nutritional packages” in the Dense Forest Abyss.

He didn't expect them to go on expeditions to invade the Otherworld; the Treants were not interested in combat and had no loyalty whatsoever.

If released, it would probably be like throwing meat buns to dogs—they would go and never return.

With everything ready, Ye Chen prepared to test the random teleportation effect of the portal.

Since he didn't know the situation in the Otherworld, his own consciousness couldn't follow to the Otherworld to understand the situation of theFamilys, nor could he give timely responses.

Therefore, the Vanguard Team not only needed strong power and self-preservation abilities but also needed the ability to adapt to changes.

After thinking it over, Ye Chen made the arrangements.

The leader of the Vanguard Team was to be a Devil Race, as they were transformed from humans, and their intelligence was unmatched by other races.

Moreover, before transforming, the Devil Race were indistinguishable from ordinary people, allowing them to disguise themselves and integrate well into the Otherworld.

He also equipped the Devil Race with Shadow Assassin, Shadow Hound, and Worm as support.

These threeFamilys have strong hidden self-preservation abilities.

The Shadow Assassin can Enter the Shadows, the Shadow Hound can merge into shadows, and the Worm can burrow underground.

With their assistance, the Devil Race's methods of exploration were greatly enriched.

He also resurrected a batch of Vampire Bats to make up for the lack of air power.

After all, the Vanguard Team's task was only to explore and integrate, so such a setup was quite luxurious.

With everything ready, Ye Chen arrived at the Devil Race's station on the third layer of the Abyss and issued a summons.

The Abyss Will's voice echoed in the Devil Race's minds, urging them to go to the square in the center of the station.

Although the Devil Race did not understand why, they still dared not disobey the Abyss's command.

They walked out of their shelters and headed towards their destination.

Upon reaching the square, the Devil Race couldn't help but whisper among themselves, expressing their worries about their unknown fate.

Once everyone had gathered, the void above the square suddenly twisted and deformed.

Immediately after, Ye Chen's phantom passed through space and slowly stepped out.

A vast, ocean-like aura spread out, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Ye Chen was clad in a pitch-black robe, with dark red Abyss patterns moving like living things upon it.

Every step he took seemed to tread on the hearts of the Devil Race, making them gasp for breath.

Finally, that supreme figure halted high in the sky.

The blood-red sun that had been hanging high in the dome also fell behind him, transforming into his throne.

The Devil Race gazed at the magnificent figure, all bowing down, not daring to look directly.

They knew that this was the existence that dictated their fate.

"I am the Lord of the Abyss."

A deep voice, carrying the rhythm of destruction, exploded in the ears of the Devil Race.

"Sinners, raise your heads and remember My appearance."

An invisible force controlled the bodies of the Devil Race, forcing them to look directly at that majestic existence.

"I am the Lord of the Abyss, the embodiment of chaos, the incarnation of eternal darkness!"

"I am the beginning of the Abyss, and also the end of all things."

"From the moment your first wicked consciousness was born, My brand was already etched upon you."

"The meaning of your existence is to fight for Me across myriad worlds!"

Each word was like the most primal incantation, deeply branded into the souls of the Devil Race, and also laying down their destiny.

"The Abyss is merciless, but I am fair."

"If you acquire enough Karma Fire, then I do not mind bestowing mercy upon you."

"To walk freely upon the earth, there is nothing impossible..."

"If you betray the Abyss for that fleeting freedom... then what awaits you is only endless torment!"

After speaking these words that left endless room for imagination, Ye Chen's phantom directly dissipated into the air.

After all, they were an intelligent race; they could not be driven solely by endless oppression.

Appropriate blessings could stimulate greater potential and desire.

As for walking freely on the earth...

I didn't say what the price of freedom was; it still depends on my mood.

Ye Chen thought to himself.

With the brand of the Abyss, freedom could only be a luxury.

Of course, since the Abyss Will could not affect the Otherworld, necessary threats were also required.

If these Devil Race developed disloyal intentions upon reaching the Otherworld, then the beasts assisting them could also be the grim reapers who took their lives.

After completing all of this, Ye Chen opened a portal on the third layer of the Abyss.

Along with it came the assistants assigned to them.

Commands from the Abyss suddenly appeared in the minds of some of the Devil Race, and they also understood their mission.

The former leader of the Gryphon Army—Golden Hair—was to serve as the commander of this exploration.

Accompanying her were three hundred Devil Race, one hundred Shadow Assassins, two hundred Shadow Hounds, two hundred Vampire Bats, and one thousand Abyssal Worms to form the Vanguard Team entering the Otherworld.

As long as they used the sacrificial magic circle in the Otherworld or their souls returned to the Abyss after death, the Abyss would obtain the coordinates of the Otherworld.

Golden Hair was somewhat stunned by the command; she hadn't expected to have the chance to leave the Abyss and go to the Otherworld.

She then led the Devil Race to collect their respective equipment, preparing for the expedition.

To be cautious, Golden Hair did not lead the team rashly but first sent a portion of the Shadow Assassins into the portal to investigate the danger.

After the Shadow Assassins reached the Otherworld and saw no abnormalities, they transmitted a message of safety through the sacrificial magic circle.

The Abyss received this message and simultaneously obtained the coordinates of the Otherworld.

The safety message was then transmitted into Golden Hair's mind.

Upon receiving the message, Golden Hair directly led the remaining army into the portal...
