Introduction[]
Stratified Abyssal Realm is a special space that connects the Endless Abyss (unclear If it's different or not from the Abyss mentioned in chapter 1260) with the many Another Worlds of God’s Domain.
There are various Stratified Abyssal Realms, some existing longer than others, each with it's own culture and development path.
It is also one of the few places that allow players from the many worlds of God’s Domain to gather and interact with each other. The only problem is that it has a strict level limit and players are prohibited from entering it once they exceed the level limit.
The currency used in the Stratified Abyssal Realm was Demon Coins and Dark Crystals.
Stratified Abyssal Realm, which Shi Feng visited also known as Nation of Ancient Gods.
Environment[]
A dark and moonless sky. The only thing Shi Feng and others could see in the sky were floating landmasses.
Due to the influence of the Abyss’s power, players's Physique is reduced by 50%, and their five senses are weakened by 30%. The gravity in the Stratified Abyssal Realm is five times greater than God’s Domain. Player's mobility is weakened drastically.
The Stratified Abyssal Realm’s level limit is 120. Players are unable to get promoted to Tier 4 while remaining in this realm. This restriction will only be removed when entering a higher world.
The dark element occupied over 70% of the Stratified Abyssal Realm’s Mana. Even in special elemental worlds, the dominant element there wouldn’t occupy more than 30% of the world’s Mana. Yet, it was already more than enough to amplify the power of attacks of that element by 100% or more.
“Skills and Spells that aren’t of the dark element will be drastically weakened here. Conversely, Dark Skills and Spells will be strengthened.” – Shi Feng.
Gate of Crossing[]
The Guilds Hundred Flowers Pavilion and Tower Alliance each have one-half of the key to activate the Gate of Crossing to the Stratified Abyssal Realm.
Shi Feng and Gentle Snow helped the Guild Hundred Flowers Palace outperform the Guild Tower Alliance in clearing the pathway to the Stratified Abyssal Realm (unsealing the Dragonfall Secret Land turning it into an normal Dugeon). Because of that, the Guild Zero Wing obtained 9 (nine) entry slots into the Stratified Abyssal Realm.
Activation[]
System: Gate of Crossing activated. The wielder of the complete key may safely teleport up to 20 people to the Stratified Abyssal Realm through the Gate of Crossing. Once used, the key will enter a Cooldown period of ten natural days to accumulate energy. The key will also be required to safely return from the Stratified Abyssal Realm. Those without the key’s protection, please enter with caution. [1]
The average Gate of Crossing could only accommodate 5 or 6 people, with larger ones accommodating up to 10 people.
Natives Leaving the Realm[]
In addition to allowing players from God’s Domain to travel to the Stratified Abyssal Realm, the Gates of Crossing also allowed players native to the Stratified Abyssal Realm to travel to God’s Domain. The only difference was that the Stratified Abyssal Realm’s native players needed to pay an exorbitant price in Seven Luminaries Crystals to travel to God’s Domain.[2]
According to Shi Feng’s knowledge, the amount of Seven Luminaries Crystals that native players needed to pay to leave would differ depending on their combat standards:
- World Tower's first-floor experts cost 1,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystals.
- World Tower's second-floor experts cost 3,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystals.[2]
Shi Feng circumvent theses restrictions by paying 3.000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystals to use the Abyss Workshop Certification's World-Breaking Teleportation Skill. That way he was able to bring seven people to the Miniature Ancient World, This group was composed by Laura Crader, her 3 (three) Vice Commanders, Echoing Judgment, Wordless Ember and Sleeping Quicksand.
After restored, the Abyss Workshop Certification's World-Breaking Teleportation Skill could teleport up to 20 people out of the Stratified Abyssal Realm, at the cost of 1,000 units of Seven Luminaries Crystals. [3]
Realms of Unbelievable Value[]
The fact that the Stratified Abyssal Realm connected the many worlds of God’s Domain already made it invaluable. For a God’s Domain that had yet to gain access to the Greater God’s Domain, the Stratified Abyssal Realm’s true value lay in the trade opportunities it offered.
Zero Wing established a shop on an Golden Land inside the Central District of Slumber City (NPC City in the Stratified Abyssal Realm).
Resourses[]
The Stratified Abyssal Realm possessed various precious and unique resources that weren’t available in God’s Domain.
- Raw material of the exceedingly valuable Black Iron, the Black Iron Ore was produced only in the various Stratified Abyssal Realms or certain places in the Greater God's Domain. Theses places were actually Stratified Abyssal Realms that had broken their respective seals and were introduced into the Greater God’s Domain. [4]
- In terms of value, Dark Crystals was much more valuable than Seven Luminaries Crystals. This was because Dark Crystals were much rarer in both the various God’s Domain and the Greater God’s Domain. It was one of the precious resources that were highly contested among the various powers.[5]
- The Hypersensitivity Potion was Slumber City’s local specialty. It was also the main reason Slumber City’s experts were stronger and more numerous than most other cities.[6]
- After the Slumber City's upgrade, Shi Feng was allowed purchase an increased amount of Hypersensitivity Potion and also the newly available Bronze-ranked Dragonhorn Tactical Vehicles, due to his status as Slumber City's First Vice City Lord.
Experts[]
Superior Combat Standards[]
The Skills, Spells, Combat Techniques and Mana Techniques the Stratified Abyssal Realm possessed were also far superior to what was available in Shi Feng's God’s Domain.
It was especially true when it came to the development of Combat Techniques and Mana Techniques. The various Stratified Abyssal Realms had far surpassed the many worlds of God’s Domain and reached an entirely different level.
Moreover, different Stratified Abyssal Realms would have different civilization cultures and development paths. Because of this, the variety of Combat Techniques and Mana Techniques the various Stratified Abyssal Realms possessed was so large that it could astonish even the Greater God’s Domain’s hegemonic powers. [2]
More specifically, Slumber City's upgrade resulted in the appearance of an Elven Holy Spring in the City's central plaza. This Extraordinary Construction could help elevate player's standards to an unprecedented level.
