Chapter 2424 Du God City
The stone path was exactly the same as the video depicted . It was unremarkable in the beginning, and Han Sen and the others reached the statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes .
But Han Sen could clearly feel that the closer he got to the statue, the stronger the strange impulses became .
When Han Sen laid his own eyes on the disturbing statue, the feeling was strong enough to make even him shake .
As the countless eyes seemed to examine him, Han Sen felt as if a ghost was actually staring at him . The feeling was a hundred times greater than what he felt when he had watched the video . It felt like an endless stream of ghosts was going to come right out of the hands to devour him .
Han Sen activated his Purple-Eye Butterfly, hoping to view the secrets behind the statue .
The purple pupil claimed Han Sen’s eye, becoming four spinning petals . Han Sen took a deep breath and turned his gaze on the statue .
At that moment, Han Sen felt like he was seeing a demon from hell itself . Before he got a good look at it, pain lanced through his right eye . A wet feeling slicked over his palms, as if his hands were covered in blood .
Han Sen’s face changed . He forced himself to continue looking at the statue, but then he realized that the sight was about to blind him . He jerked his gaze away, not daring to turn back toward the statue with his Purple-Eye Butterfly still activated .
“Are you okay?” Miss Mirror and Night Wind looked at Han Sen .

“I used a trick of the eyes to look at the statue, but it almost blinded me . ” Han Sen lowered his hands, which he had used to cover his face . His eyes were red and dripping with bloody tears .
Luckily, Han Sen’s blood was crystallized . Otherwise, he would have lost so much blood that he would have died .
“Stop looking . And don’t use your eye skill to examine it again . If my guess is correct, this statue is related to some sort of eye god . Its powers are directly linked to vision . If you use an eye skill to look at it, that’s like asking for death,” Night Wind said .
Han Sen nodded and remained silent . He followed Miss Mirror down the path .
After moving around the statue, they came to the stone cave that had been smeared with blood . It looked just as it had in the video, with more blood and gore appearing the farther they walked . Eventually, they found the door at the end of the cavern .
The Duke that was bound by substance chains screamed again . He tried his hardest to rush to the stone door . If Night Wind hadn’t held the Duke back, he would have smashed into the door hard enough to burst open his own skull .
The stone door was shut tight, and they had no idea what lay beyond it . Han Sen didn’t dare to use his Purple-Eye Butterfly again, though, so he had to inspect it with his own eyesight .
The urge to go to the stone door had grown stronger, but luckily, the three of them had strong wills . They wouldn’t lose control of themselves like the Duke .
But the urges grew stronger as time went by, and it was only a matter of time until their wills snapped . It would take a god to hold back these impulses forever .

The stone door had no lock or handle . It was shut tightly, almost seamlessly, and that was that . Countless Dukes had tried to dig into it to no avail . The door had been impervious to their physical attacks .
Night Wind and Miss Mirror swapped glances, and then Night Wind started to gather up power . They wanted to follow their original plan of forcing the stone door open .
Han Sen stood next to Miss Mirror . His right eye was still red and swollen, and occasional sharp jabs of pain still radiated from it .
Night Wind moved his substance chain, which hovered over the ground like a black sheet . Answering his call, it slipped into his hand and manifested as a black sword .
When Han Sen saw the sword that Night Wind was holding, he noted that it gave him the same feeling as looking at an empty night sky . The powers it contained were unpredictable .
Night Wind’s eyes froze . The black sword in his hand struck the middle of the stone door, and the swirling darkness slammed against the door’s surface like a dark horizon touching the ground . He struck the door repeatedly with the full force of his substance chain, but every time the darkness came in contact with the door, the darkness shattered like a crashing wave . All the while, the stone door refused to budge . Night Wind’s power could incinerate an entire planet, but the door seemed unaffected .
The rocks around were all broken by the dark blade, revealing the edges of the doorframe, but the door did not open . They could, however, now glimpse what surrounded the door beyond the doorframe . The door was set into a city tower .
The city tower was built with black bricks . The bricks looked a lot like the black stone that was everywhere in the tunnel, but they were much harder . Even Night Wind’s chain power could only leave scrapes across them . The scrapes he left behind looked like cat scratches .
As the power of Night Wind’s sword tore away more of the black rock surrounding the door, Han Sen saw three words engraved above the door . Han Sen recognized those three words . They were written in the common language of the universe .

“Du God City,”
“Du God City! This is Du God City?!” Night Wind screamed . Even Miss Mirror looked dumbfounded .
“What is Du God City?” Han Sen asked Night Wind . He had never heard of this place before .
Night Wind’s emotions had risen until he was almost hysterical . He lost all the composure a deified individual should have carried, but he didn’t seem to notice . His eyes blazed as he stared at the three words above the door . “The legends say that the Ancient God had a powerful city in ancient times . That place was called Du God City . Because the people of the Ancient God were born deified, they couldn’t level up further . Those who went to Du God City, however, often had the opportunity to rise above the deified level . ”
“All this time, everyone thought it was just a legend . No one could confirm that Du God City actually existed . If this is the real Du God City of the Ancient God, then that explains why so many weird things have happened to us . And perhaps there is a chance for us to become stronger here . ”
Night Wind looked at the door very excitedly . He seemed to have forgotten the danger that they were in . Han Sen couldn’t blame Night Wind for his elation, though . Even when Sacred had been in power, not many elites had been able to reach the last step .
Even the horrendously powerful Ancient Water God hadn’t been able to rise above his deified status . Instead, he ended up as blood rain that moisturized the world .
For the vast majority of deified elites, going through the geno hall to become a god spirit had a practically microscopic chance of success .
If Du God City was a method in which one could become a god spirit, that would be tempting for any deified .
Deified elites were still just people, and they could get sick and die . They were not immortal; even Sacred Leader had been searching for the key to immortality . It was natural for deified elites to want this .
“If Du God City can turn people into god spirits, then Ancient God wouldn’t be one of the three most powerful races,” Han Sen said with a frown .
Miss Mirror looked at the three words and said, “Du God City is just a legend . This city has the words Du God City written on it, but there’s no proof that it’s actually the city of our legends . If it was the real Du God City, why would it be buried here? We need to think about this . We need to be careful . ”
