Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Livestream Exploration - Stargazers Shaken!

With the livestream feature launched, as the first livestreamer, Ren naturally wanted to observe a bit. If it differed too much from the ideal state, he might even put out a tutorial. But what he didn’t expect was that the first one would actually be an outdoor livestream, wilderness survival, and pretty well done at that.

It made him reminisce about an old friend.

So he just kept watching.

But he never would’ve thought that this wilderness survival would somehow randomly throw in a massive super-structure.

If this were his past life, people would’ve roasted the hell out of it—it looked like a script no matter how you looked at it. Way too coincidental!

But in this world, it actually wasn’t impossible.

This world’s history was just too long. Maybe thousands of years ago, ten thousand years ago, there really was a group of supernatural beings living here?

What if a bunch of magicians, or even cultists, just wanted to do something in this wilderness?

"I know what this is—it’s the Eternal Night Dome!"

Before the Goddess of Magic could speak, Betty couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly. "Lord Ren, this is from over 3,000 years ago when a group of magicians built a special magic tower in a place with abnormal magic power, specifically for observing the stars."

"Because there’s a special magic array here that can extract dark elemental spirits, this area can remain permanently in darkness, allowing 24-hour star observation."

"Originally, 32 legendary magicians, over 180 high-level magicians, and over 1,000 mid-level magicians gathered here. Among them, there were a full 12 believers of the Goddess and one fanatic. I read a lot of information from them."

"..." Ren had been listening with interest, but by the time she finished, his face showed nothing but speechlessness.

Thirty-two legendary magicians and over a thousand regular magicians, but only 13 believers—what’s there to be so proud about?

The Goddess of Magic beside him also had a somewhat odd expression.

In the past, maybe this really would’ve been something to be proud of. But compared to the massive faith now, this was like... like kids playing house.

After internally complaining, Ren finally adjusted his mindset and asked, "Was this place really just for observing the stars? Why would they build an observatory in a place like the Myriad Mountains? Couldn’t they observe stars anywhere else?"

Betty was caught off guard by this question and froze, scratching her head somewhat helplessly. "I don’t know about that. Maybe because there’s no pollution here? Better air?"

"..."

Ren felt like, I suspect you’re being sarcastic, but I can’t prove it.

"It’s actually because of the uniqueness of this valley."

The Goddess of Magic spoke up from the side. "About 10,000 years ago, a massive meteorite fell onto our planet. After over a dozen deities intervened to stop it, it finally fell in this location..."

This observatory was actually built from a special meteorite! It had many special properties. As Ren listened to the Goddess of Magic’s explanation, he suddenly saw more and more jellyfish appearing in the sky on the screen.

On the ground, objects with blue flames dancing in their eyes gradually appeared too!

Stone carvings, books, experimental equipment—every object that had blue flames starting to flicker seemed to have gained life.

Edwin was an elite of the Hunters’ Association after all. Facing this situation, after deciding to break the seal and use supernatural powers, he wasn’t exactly passive.

He continuously used his cleric powers to condense arrows and frantically bombarded the surrounding monsters. But for some reason, more and more weird guys emitting faint flames or light kept appearing around him.

What made him even more uneasy was that he kept feeling like something was whispering in his ears, like he was about to meet a deity, though not quite as intense.

Watching more and more creatures gather around him, Edwin finally pulled several magic bombs from his waist pouch. He threw them while running toward the exit.

"Brothers, I tried my best. I really can’t get any closer. When I get back, I’ll call for backup—get some of the big shots from our church to come challenge this together."

Feeling the surroundings getting brighter, Edwin’s anxious heart finally settled down a bit.

Only his pounding heart kept reminding him that now wasn’t the time to let his guard down.

But right then, Edwin’s Magic Net ringtone suddenly rang.

He glanced at who was calling. "Hello, Don... ah, no, Pope, sir, what can I do for you? How about I call you back once I escape danger!"

If it were anyone else calling him at this moment, he definitely wouldn’t answer. But he knew his own situation—the Pope was someone who took things seriously and liked to hold grudges. If he didn’t answer this call, he’d probably become the poster child for evil later.

The Hunting Pope’s forehead veins bulged, but he forced himself not to say anything harsh. "The stargazers from Eternal Night City just sent me word. They say what you entered is Eternal Night City’s lost holy land, the Eternal Night Dome. They want to ask you for the location. You’ll definitely get benefits from this, kid."

"What kind of benefits?"

Edwin seemed to remember that the Pope already knew he was the first one to call him "Elder Donkey," and he’d just almost said it to his face. He couldn’t help but shudder.

He had to use this discovery to get a chance to solve this "problem."

Otherwise, he’d probably have to wait until the Great Video Hunt ended and the God of Hunting bestowed benefits on him before daring to go back.

"You sure you want to ask that right now? You’re still livestreaming!" The Hunting Pope looked at the livestream in front of him somewhat speechlessly. The scene was still going—this guy was sprinting while talking to him.

Hundreds of thousands of magicians were watching!

"Oh, so you know I’m livestreaming? Then why’d you call me now?" Edwin laughed internally but absolutely didn’t dare say it out loud.

Finally, Edwin’s vision completely returned to normal. The daytime scene appeared before him. Those monsters all seemed unable to leave the darkness... Safe!

"Today’s livestream ends here. As you saw, our Pope, and a bunch of other incredible people, definitely all want to know the location of this observatory from me now. I gotta have a good chat with them. But don’t worry, when they start developing this place, I’ll livestream it for you again!"

After a slight pause, Edwin smiled at the Magic Net. "You guys should be really curious about how I survived in the Myriad Mountains without relying on supernatural powers, right? Go check it out—it’s all on my homepage! Remember to follow, hit that little red heart. Every single action you take is the motivation that keeps me going forward!"

"Pope, can you tell me now what price the stargazers from Eternal Night City are willing to offer?"
