Chapter 249 Godly Dungeon! Protection Period! Battlefield of Myriad Realms, Slaves of Law?

Following behind the old rabbit and the little rabbits, Qin Fang walked forward, observing his surroundings as he went.

This god-like 'Rabbit Paradise' is indeed incredibly beautiful, like a fairytale world, with distant mountains and trees that are giant mushrooms, colorful and vibrant.

The little rabbits followed behind the old rabbit, hopping and skipping around carefree.

After walking for a while, Qin Fang discovered a village ahead.

One by one, enormous rabbits appeared.

There was a giant rabbit that was over two meters tall, dressed in coarse cloth, carrying wood on its shoulders, and wearing a hearty smile on its face.

When the little rabbits saw him, they immediately ran over with cheers and chatter.

The panel translation shows that they are calling each other 'Uncle Luo'.

This 'Uncle Luo' also responded with a hearty smile. Carrying a giant log with a diameter of over one meter, he rubbed the heads of these little rabbits with one hand, and then looked at Qin Fang.

He paused for a moment, then gave Qin Fang a gentle smile, nodded, and began to speak.

【We have guests?】

They were speaking their language, but the panel automatically provided a translation.

Qin Fang was taken aback for a moment... but still nodded to him. The other man laughed heartily, "It's rare for a guest from out of town to come to our village. You must come to my house as a guest later!"

After saying this, he respectfully greeted the old rabbit, then rubbed the little rabbit's head a few more times before carrying the giant log away.

He wasn't the only adult giant rabbit; Qin Fang even saw the same grumpy rabbit he had encountered earlier, but it was even larger.

But unlike the Earth that was refreshed... and the grumpy rabbits in the dungeon, these grumpy rabbits were not grumpy at all. Instead, they were all working. Some were picking mushrooms, and some were carrying huge baskets filled with fragrant grass.

They chatted as they worked, showing none of the ferocity they displayed in the dungeon.

Upon seeing Old Rabbit, they all greeted him warmly, showing that Old Rabbit held a very high position in the village.

Then they noticed Qin Fang behind Lao Tu.

Their eyes lit up slightly, and they all started talking.

【Oh, someone from out of town.】

【We have guests?】

People from other places really do look completely different from us...

[Haha, who cares? The village chief's wife brought him back, he can't be a bad person. He's a guest, come visit me later!]

Looking at his blank expression, does he not understand what we're saying?

It's possible...

They chattered excitedly.

Qin Fang couldn't understand, but the panel kept providing translations.

Qin Fang was stunned again and again...

this……

Is it the Gods Dungeon?

He subconsciously used his detection skill again.

But in the end, they still gained nothing.

No words appeared above any of the rabbits' heads.

It doesn't even have a name.

If the panel translation hadn't still been there, he would have almost thought the panel had disappeared.

With even more doubts in his mind, Qin Fang remained silent and continued to follow behind Old Rabbit.

Then he saw some female rabbits that were clearly female. They were also dressed in coarse cloth and were much thinner than the robust rabbits around them. Some of them were even holding several baby rabbits.

These little rabbits were even smaller than the ones he had encountered, only a dozen or twenty centimeters tall. Their red or black eyes shone with a clear light as they nestled curiously and innocently in their mother's arms.

The female rabbits also saw Qin Fang, and they became even more curious, chattering amongst themselves.

"arrive."

The old rabbit stopped in front of a house, then smiled kindly at Qin Fang, opened the door, and said something to the little rabbits.

After the little rabbits obediently ran away, they still looked at Qin Fang with curious and bewildered eyes.

...They were clearly very curious about this 'outsider'.

"Come in."

Old Rabbit smiled at Qin Fang and went into the house first.

Qin Fang paused for a moment, then followed him inside.

The house was simpler than he had imagined, but it was full of life. The wooden walls were covered with various tools that Qin Fang recognized and those he didn't. In the middle of the house was a hearth with water boiling over it. The water was bubbling and churning. Old Rabbit went over, took the kettle down, and placed it on the edge of the hearth. He looked up and saw Qin Fang looking around curiously, and then smiled and said, "The accommodations are simple, I apologize for neglecting my guest... Please sit down."

Qin Fang thought for a moment and then sat down on a small stool.

He remained silent for a long while before finally speaking: "Here..."

"Many doubts linger in your mind? The Divine Realm instance seems different from what you imagined?"

Before Qin Fang could speak, Old Rabbit asked with a smile.

Upon hearing the word "dungeon," Qin Fang realized... this old rabbit was unlike any other dungeon creature he had ever encountered.

Because she was clearly aware of her situation.

Other dungeon monsters only have a killing instinct and cannot be communicated with at all.

...Even those in the abyss are the same.

Qin Fang frowned slightly, then heard the old rabbit sigh softly. Its eyes became cloudy as it looked outside: "On the entire planet Ribite, this is the only place... that can barely be considered a safe haven..."

Qin Fang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

Ribit Star?

As he was thinking, the old rabbit's cloudy eyes were looking at him. After sizing him up, it suddenly exclaimed in surprise, its face showing some astonishment: "Rank 3, one billion HP, over one hundred million attack power, and hundreds of different law fragments gathered in one body... How is this possible?... How did you do it?"

Old Rabbit's sudden question startled Qin Fang.

The statement about having 1 billion HP and over 100 million attack power was very clear and accurate.

The meaning of these hundreds of different fragments of laws...

He was taken aback.

Could it be...?

Does it refer to skills?

"How long has it been since your world truly entered the Battle Domain of Myriad Races?"

Old Rabbit looked up at Qin Fang with some surprise and asked.

Battlefield of Myriad Races?

...Another unfamiliar term.

but……

I can probably guess.

...Does this refer to the Land of Fallen Boundaries?

"The Battle Domain of Ten Thousand Races?"

However, it's better to ask for clarification.

"How long has it been since you... these so-called professions appeared?" Old Rabbit asked after thinking for a moment.

Are you asking about my profession?

Qin Fang thought for a moment: "Probably... less than a hundred years."

"Less than a hundred years? Then it's still within the protection period... Has any deity appeared?" Old Rabbit asked, frowning.

Qin Fang was startled.

Protection period?

...Jiang Linxue mentioned this concept.

"No."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Old Rabbit: "What you mean by... a protection period?"

"No gods appeared? Your clan...didn't get to eat the divine fruit?" the old rabbit asked, his brows furrowed.

Divine Fruit?

I've never even heard of it.

Qin Fang shook his head.

Old Rabbit frowned: "Then you'd better hurry... Once the protection period ends, without the gods... you might lose even the possibility of preserving the last bit of pure land."

Qin Fang's heart sank: "What exactly is the protection period?"

The old rabbit calmly said, "The protection period is the time during which gods are prohibited from setting foot in your world... Once the protection period is over, alien gods will be allowed to set foot in your world."

Is such a thing really true?

Qin Fang's head sank.

It matches what Jiang Linxue said.

"The protection period is... one hundred years?"

"Hmm." Old Rabbit nodded.

This isn't hard to guess, after all, Old Rabbit emphasized it once before, "a hundred years."

Qin Fang's mind immediately began to race as he recalled...

How long ago was the great change?

Think back carefully...

It seems so...

It's been 1997?

In other words, the protection period will end in three years?

His heart suddenly felt heavy.

"What is the divine fruit?" he asked.

Old Rabbit didn't keep you in suspense, shaking his head and saying, "You should know about the Land of Fallen Boundaries, right? That's where the Battle Domain of Myriad Races connects to your world... Generally, after a new world connects to the Battle Domain, a divine fruit will be born in this area. Eating the divine fruit will cause life to leap, and one can become a god... Your world doesn't have gods, so that's probably the divine fruit that belonged to you, which was stolen by other races before you found it."

As it spoke, its gaze turned somewhat pitying as it looked at Qin Fang.

Clearly, it sympathizes with Qin Fang.

...or perhaps, out of sympathy for Qin Fang's world.

Qin Fang frowned.

"Gods...are they important?"

"Very important."

Old Rabbit emphasized: "Without gods, your world is destined to perish. Even the possibility of preserving the last piece of pure land will disappear."

"Pure Land?"

"This is the last pure land on Planet Ribit."

Old Rabbit pointed outside the door. Qin lowered his head and turned around, only to see some little rabbits clinging to the door frame, curiously peering inside.

Old Rabbit's voice was somewhat somber: "Since you were able to come here, you must have cleared the Abyss dungeon, right? You must have seen the Abyss dungeon's scenery, right?"

Qin Fang turned his head, recalling the Rabbit Paradise Abyss, and slowly nodded.

"That is the true appearance of Planet Ribit now... This is Planet Ribit, the last pure land. The reason it can maintain this pure land... is because Planet Ribit has gods. Otherwise... you wouldn't be here, and you wouldn't be able to see me. Planet Ribit, the Ribit race... will also completely disappear from this world as one abyss after another is broken... as if they never existed."

The old rabbit looked dejected.

Qin Fang was stunned, then he looked at the old rabbit, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You... are the gods of Planet Ribit?"

Old Rabbit looked up at Qin Fang and finally nodded slowly.

Is the old rabbit in front of me a deity?

Qin Fang's eyes narrowed slightly.

He hadn't forgotten that this was a dungeon.

And it's... a god-themed instance!

"Don't suddenly become hostile." Old Rabbit waved his hand gently: "It is a divine dungeon, but it is not a combat dungeon, but a tutorial dungeon."

"Guiding...a copy?" Qin Fang looked bewildered.

"Yes, bootstrap copy."

Old Rabbit nodded, looked up at Qin Fang, and squinted his eyes: "Your world has no gods because the divine fruit was taken away. Although the Battlefield of Myriad Realms is cruel, it will not leave no hope for you new worlds... The God Dungeon is the dungeon that guides you to become gods. But whether you succeed or not in the end... depends entirely on you."

"Guiding someone to godhood?"

Qin Fang looked bewildered.

...This development was clearly beyond anything he had anticipated.

How does one become a god?

Qin Fang couldn't help but ask this question.

"What do you think a profession is? And are the professions we have now normal?" Old Rabbit didn't answer directly, but instead asked.

Qin Fang was stunned for a long time before finally shaking his head.

He didn't know.

This thing appeared so suddenly... how could he possibly know?

"A profession... is actually a fragment of the inheritance of the understanding of the laws by powerful individuals. Skills are those fragments of the laws."

Old Rabbit calmly explained: "I don't know why the Myriad Races Battle Domain created this, but the Myriad Races Battle Domain is clearly cultivating true powerhouses... true powerhouses who have mastered the laws, not slaves to the laws."

"Laws... Slaves?" Qin Fang was somewhat bewildered.

I've never heard of this claim before.

"It's very simple. For example, right now, you have over 100 million attack power... So now I'll ask you to deal around 10,000 damage. Can you do that?" Old Rabbit asked.

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

It's definitely impossible.

He throws a punch, otherwise there won't be any damage at all, because he can still control whether or not he hurts the other party.

Otherwise, it would definitely be the full damage of a basic attack...

It's impossible to control the amount of money that can be spent at will, whether it's 10,000 or 100 million.

He'd never heard of anyone being able to do that. Because on the panel, he had 100 million damage.

"Look, isn't this strange? It's like you have a hundred million in savings. You can spend ten thousand if you want, or a million if you want... That hundred million is truly yours, right? But now, you have a hundred million in savings. You spend a hundred million to buy a piece of land, and another hundred million to buy a bottle of water... Is that hundred million really yours?"

Old Rabbit gave an example that left Qin Fang somewhat bewildered.

“That’s not yours, because it belongs to the panel, it’s a fragment of the laws that belong to your body… You can’t control that power at all. So what’s wrong with calling you a slave?”

Qin Fang's expression immediately froze.

yes……

He possesses an attack power of 100 million, yet he cannot precisely control it. Does this power truly belong to him?

...Any ordinary person can control whether a punch is light or heavy.

But these professionals...

It's impossible.

"This is because the power doesn't reside within you, but rather in the interface, in the laws... If one day the interface disappears... do you think this power will still exist within you?"

Old Rabbit asked with a profound look in his cloudy eyes.

Qin Fang couldn't answer.

He hadn't thought about that.

But he pursed his lips and asked, "Can gods... be controlled?"

"Some of the gods can."

Old Rabbit gave another unexpected answer.

Qin Fang looked puzzled.

“Artificial gods created by eating divine fruits are not acceptable. But gods who comprehend the laws on their own and ultimately master them… are acceptable.”

"Self-discovery?"

This completely touched upon Qin Fang's blind spot, leaving him utterly bewildered.

How do you come to understand it?

If the fragments of law that Old Rabbit mentioned are the skills he guessed... then using these skills is like an instinct for him.

But to be honest... he really didn't know the principle behind it.

Why can he achieve absolute invisibility after obtaining the Boots of Shadow? Why does he possess the Time Passive after awakening the Time Prison class?

have no idea.

Utterly bewildered.

But his heart is beating a little faster now.

Because it seems...

He will soon find out.
