This made the originally highly anticipated world championship atmosphere even more heated.

During this period, Lis was not idle.

Previously, there was a time when Lis did not accompany Tayla, which made Her Majesty the Queen of the Feith Kingdom somewhat clingy.

At the same time, it was indeed necessary to seek the help of the Feith Kingdom due to the upcoming underground dungeon crisis.

At this point, bringing the highest ruler of the Feith Kingdom directly by his side was a significant aid in improving communication efficiency between the partners.

As for how "significant" the improvement is, that's not something Lis has to worry about.

Anyway, that was Tayla's reason for notifying Bright City, and Lis felt that His Majesty the old king should be able to understand.

Lis was busy tallying the massive experience gained from harvesting the players' efforts recently.

This allowed Lis to steadily advance towards level 300.

It can only be said that the experience points required to continue leveling up after breaking through to Legend are truly daunting.

Even with the joining of many new players, Lis's progress toward level 300 was as slow as a snail crawling.

However, Lis was not anxious.

Upon reaching level 300, Lis estimated that afterward, it would truly be the domain of a demigod.

Lis was not fully prepared yet; he still needed enough time to digest the previous gains.

However, the immediate priority for Lis was still dealing with the current underground dungeon.

Following the coordinates provided by the players, Lis brought Tayla to hover above this newly emerged underground dungeon.

Currently, there were no signs of underground dungeons in the Feith Kingdom, but neighboring kingdoms had made discoveries.

And judging by the scale, this should still be a large underground dungeon.

Lis remained quite cautious about these newly emerged dungeons.

He had no choice; in Lis's past life, no such changes were brought about by the Spider Queen Rose.

Moreover, to this day, the Church of All Gods has not figured out by what method the Evil Gods related to Spider Queen Rose influenced the Gaia Main World, thereby spawning these new dungeons.

According to the information Lis gathered, other continents also experienced the appearance of new dungeons, but the most severe cases were found in those originally existing dungeons.

Significant parts of those dungeon regions had been developed by extraordinary races and various ground forces living in the dungeons.

Within those dungeons, traces of the abyssal monsters cultivated by the Spider Queen Rose had already appeared.

Many dungeon city-states caught off guard had already been directly overrun by the abyssal monsters, disappearing from the dungeon.

The remaining city-states were barely holding, with situations rather bleak.

Moreover, according to the Church of All Gods' investigations, these abyssal monsters, under the guidance of Dark Elves, had acquired certain collective behavioral traits.

This phenomenon was somewhat distinctive from the situations within the Mage Association's territory underground dungeons on the Pan Continent.

However, the abyssal monsters appearing in those dungeons showed no signs of charging towards the surface but continued sweeping through various parts of the dungeons.

The Church of All Gods speculated that the guidance from the Dark Elves was likely aimed at eliminating hostile forces within the dungeons and uprooting the Church of All Gods' strongholds in the dungeons.

However, there was some good news as well.

Besides those originally existing dungeons, no appearance of abyssal monsters was observed within newly emerged dungeons.

This was presumably due to these dungeons not being formally formed yet, and they haven't been connected to the Abyss Plane of the Deep Pit Demon Net belonging to Spider Queen Rose.

Right below Lis, the newly emerged dungeon in the Ruiz Kingdom belonged to such a situation.

Following the Feith Kingdom's annexation of the Boditch Kingdom, the Ruiz Kingdom became neighboring the Feith Kingdom.

And now, this newly emerged dungeon posed a considerable threat to the already weak Ruiz Kingdom.

Not to mention Legendary Strongmen, the Ruiz Kingdom didn't even have many High Gold Rank professionals.

With Ruiz Kingdom's power alone, they were entirely incapable of resisting the impending abyssal monsters' assault.

Upon receiving notification from the Church of All Gods and the Feith Kingdom, the Ruiz Kingdom expressed their attitude rather straightforwardly.

Simply lying flat, fully supporting!

Below Lis, members of the Church of All Gods were already investigating the situation inside this dungeon, while manpower from the Ruiz Kingdom was constructing various defenses around the dungeon entrance.

Lis knew these defensive constructions were inadequate to hinder the attack of those abyssal monsters.

Back then, even with the preparations by the Pan-Continent Mage Association, they failed to temporarily hold off the abyssal monsters' attack, and the line of defense retreated quite a distance.

Of course, it was also because the Pan-Continent Mage Association hadn't anticipated the strength of the abyssal monsters.

But this was enough to demonstrate the terrifying impact of the abyssal monster group's charge.

Lis didn't alert anyone, directly took Tayla from the sky, and descended into the dungeon entrance.

Before the two, this underground dungeon seemed to have abruptly torn itself from the depths of the earth, carrying a mysterious and primal aura.

The dungeon passage was narrowly winding like a serpent's path, barely allowing one person to pass sideways.

The walls on both sides were built from coarse and irregular boulders, whose surfaces bore mottled marks. Under Lis's summoned Light Brightness Technique, they appeared somewhat eerie.

The low ceiling had sharp stalactites hanging down now and then, seemingly ready to pierce the heads of the rash intruders at any moment.

Oddly enough, Lis could sense that this dungeon was not stationary.

It was slowly yet undeniably expanding at a pace that was impossible to ignore!

Lis could clearly feel the ground beneath his feet subtly trembling, that feeling akin to the breath of a sleeping giant beast, lightly yet containing infinite strength.

The walls on either side were also slowly pushing outward. Each minute movement was accompanied by the groaning sound of stone friction, as if the dungeon whispered its growth softly.

Lis closed his eyes, concentrating his mind to perceive every corner of this dungeon.

Instantly, an extremely dense magic power surged towards him like a tidal wave, almost drowning him.

The magic power was so strong and pure that Lis had never experienced before.

No!

Rather, it bore some resemblance to the power felt in the space where the World Tree Yggdrasil was located at the core of the Gaia World.

He could sense this magic power like an invisible river flowing and threading through every corner of the dungeon.

Part of the magic power was continuously being consumed in the dungeon's expansion.

Like diligent craftsmen, the magic power propelled the boulders, widened the passage, causing the dungeon to relentlessly extend outward, as if constructing a vast kingdom of its own.

Each surge of magic power was accompanied by subtle changes in the dungeon's structure, creating new dungeon passages and areas that gradually shaped under the nourishment of magic.

Meanwhile, another part of the magic power seemed to find its destination, slowly settling in various corners of the dungeon.

They formed like fine sandy grains, accumulating with the passage of time into barely noticeable magic power crystals.

Lis felt this should be the sign of condensing precious magic ore deposits, representing the great value of the dungeon.

However, these magic ore deposits required incredibly lengthy time to sediment and transform before becoming extractable.

At least, it was impossible to mine them within a short duration.

Soon enough, following his acute perception of magic power, Lis plunged deep, finally reaching the dungeon's core.

In Lis's perception, the surrounding light grew increasingly dim, filled with a suffocating oppressive sense.

For some reason, an extremely wicked and profound power enveloped his spiritual power like a cold tide.

This power was cold and putrid, brimming with endless malice, seemingly intending to devour all light and hope in the world.

Lis shivered all over, clearly aware that it was the power from the Endless Abyss!

The power twisted wantonly, attempting to corrupt and pollute Lis's consciousness!

How ruthless!

Lis instantly comprehended, without hesitation, he severed the connection with this thread of spiritual power.
