Chapter 1095 The Viral News 1

Inside the headquarters of the Promise Group, after Gerald and his companions entered through the

iron door, the room was still brightly lit. At this moment, several people were gathered together. Hector

was looking at the map, while Kristian continued to tell Gerald and the others about the situation at the

Promise Group headquarters.

“The Promise Group is actually somewhat like a tower-shaped building. It started above ground, but

due to an explosion and thousands of years passing, it’s now buried underground.

Legend has it that the highest point of the Promise Group reaches more than 3,300 feet,” Kristian said.

Gerald was astonished. Despite the intense explosion that occurred more than 3,300 feet below the

surface, it somehow failed to destroy everything.

Moreover, after being buried underground for thousands of years, everything remained incredibly intact.

The shock-absorbing technology of this world was truly terrifying.

“Promise Group has a total of 500 levels, descending in order. Our current location is probably around

the 500th level,” Kristian said. “All these entrances can lead to the Promise Group headquarters.

Once inside, there are various areas to explore. Our Archaic Tribe has ventured as deep as the 335th

level. As for the other factions, we have no knowledge of their progress. We have a detailed route for

these 300-plus levels.” “Moving further down, it’s hard to say whether everything remains intact,”

Kristian said. “Of course, this is just a place for exploration. Over the years, most of the rooms in these

three hundred-plus floors have been opened, but there are still a small number that cannot be opened.”

“So you mean, other forces might have explored more?” Gerald asked in surprise.

Well, each family keeps their secrets, and there are quite a few people like you. Many other factions,

once they find the key or the map, will seek to cooperate with the Eight Forces. However, most people

end up with a small share,” Kristian continued to explain.

Nearby, Anabel also remarked, “In fact, the development of many modern technologies has originated

from the Promise Group, including the core technologies mastered by the Eight Forces. They all

evolved from the Promise Group. After the Promise Group, there have been fewer and fewer people

with the craftsman attribute. “But…” At this moment, Triston suddenly spoke up, “Don’t you guys find it

strange?” “Hmm?” Everyone turned to look at him.

“The Promise Group headquarters exploded, causing this area to break away from the mainland and

form an island. The Promise Group was buried underground, yet it remained so intact.

However… all of their people have completely vanished, leaving no trace of their remains. Don’t you

find that strange?” At this point, Triston pondered and said, “You should know that people with the

craftsman attribute are all at least Flame Decayers or higher, and the Bone of

Eternity is indestructible. However, up until now, I haven’t heard of any of you obtaining the Bone of

Eternity here. It’s as if these people have vanished into thin air.” Kristian nodded and said, “That’s what

everyone finds strange.”

Gerald stroked his chin and said, “The Promise Group is so huge, it’s impossible that not a single

corpse would be left behind. Don’t you think… those mutants outside might be the people from the

Promise Group who have transformed? We just don’t know the specific reason behind it.” His words

made the others involuntarily shudder, feeling a bit uneasy.

Anabel said, “Actually, some people have mentioned this idea before, but it has never been proven.

There were people with craftsman attributes who wanted to come to this island to study, but after

arriving, they found it difficult to adapt to the island. So, most of them took things out of the island and

continued their research elsewhere.” “Forget it, there’s no point in guessing so much. This island is

indeed very strange,” Hector said. “Let’s get the

Ingenious Needles as soon as possible and leave this place!” As he spoke, he said, “In the top right

corner of this map, there’s a ’99’ written. With this conversion, the Ingenious

Needles should be on the ninety-ninth floor!” Anabel took a glance at the map and nodded, saying,

“That should be the case. If we were going from top to bottom, it would be fine since we have a safe

route.

But if we’re going from bottom to top, it’s a different story. With this calculation, we’ll be going down 401

floors, and there are nearly seventy floors that we haven’t explored yet.”

“We haven’t reached it either because we haven’t found the entrance to go down, or… it’s too

dangerous for us to get there,” Anabel said, looking at Gerald. “If it’s the latter, then it’s going to be

quite troublesome.”

“Let’s get to the 99th floor first!” Gerald said. “Alright!” They nodded, and then Anabel walked to the

back of the hall. There, something like an electronic door stood.

Anabel entered a password on it, and the electronic door opened! “Now, the passages are all built by

us, the Archaic Tribe, leading directly to the Promise Group’s headquarters!” Anabel rerninded them.

Gerald nodded!

The group continued on their journey, opening countless doors along the way. At some point, as they

opened the last door, a chilling cold wind blew out from within, revealing a deep, mysterious passage

before them. “Up ahead, that should be it, Triston,” Gerald said to Triston.

Triston nodded, and he turned on a bright light. The lamp still used energy stones as its power source.

Once turned on, it illuminated the surroundings brilliantly.

Anabel held another map in her hand, which was a safe route provided by the Archaic Tribe. After they

entered, Kristian couldn’t help but shiver and said, “This place… is a bit creepy!”

Indeed, when the door closed behind them, it was pitch black underground, and if it weren’t for their

powerful flashlights, they wouldn’t have been able to see their hands in front of their faces. With the

accumulation of thousands of years, apart from some people from the Eight Forces who had explored

this płace, there was hardly any sign of human activity, giving it a truly eerie atmosphere. Anabel

glanced at him calmly, and without saying anything more, she looked at the map and said, “Follow me!”

And then he took the lead, walking ahead of everyone else. Within this team, apart from Gerald, she

should rank second in terms of Vital Energy strength and combat power.

Most importantly, after this experience, she felt that she was getting close to the supreme peak level of

Flame Decay. If she could obtain the Ingenious Needles, she would have a chance to secure one for

herself.

In the Archaic Tribe, strength is the key to one’s status. In the current Archaic Tribe, there are only four

people who possess the Eternal Flame Decayer. If she can become an Eternal Flame Decayer as soon

as possible, even if it’s not through her own breakthrough but with the help of external forces, she

would still be an Eternal Flame Decayer. Her status within the Archaic Tribe would be self-evident!

Sometimes, she herself believes that becoming friends with Gerald is the best decision she has made

in her life.

A line of seven people moved forward slowly. The entire Promise Group headquarters was shrouded in

darkness, with a single point of light steadily advancing through the building, descending one floor after

another.

Anabel kept flipping through the map, which was actually a book. Each page documented a safe route

for each level, and so far, their journey had been thrilling yet free of danger.

As they were descending, a piece of news was swiftly delivered back to the Soulreaper Sect. And on

this day, the entire Promise Island had gone completely mad.

The Soulreaper Sect’s base was almost completely emptied out, as the deaths of two Eternal Flame

Decayers was a massive piece of news that spread throughout the entire Havotune. No one could

possibly keep such an event a secret!

The news of Junior and Xena’s deaths swept across Promise Island, and at the same time, it spread

beyond Promise Island… News of Gerald, the owner of the Dragon Bone, breaking into the eternal

level of Flame Decay and slaying two members of the Soulreaper Sect’s eternal Flame

Decayers spread like wildfire overnight. One after another, speedboats continuously departed from the

harbor. A day later, Georgia’s aircraft also took to the skies without pause. News kept pouring into the

Eight Forces, reaching the ears of everyone else.

Bang!

At the Soulreaper Sect, the leader Kaius slammed his palm on the table in front of him, shattering it

instantly.

Down below, a person was trembling as they knelt on the ground, and even Kaius’ hand was slightly

shaking! “Gerald, you little brat!” Kaius’ furious roar echoed throughout the Six Paths City, a territory of

the Soulreaper Sect. Almost everyone in the city heard this bellowing scream!
