Crossing the World of Warcraft: I am an Ancient God

"It's okay, it's okay," Yun said helplessly, feeling rather irritated. After all, Zoval had already turned and was walking back. As for where he might go, Yun had no idea. However, common sense suggested Zoval would likely remain in the Holy Tomb of the Firstborn. Who could say for sure? The Holy Tomb might be filled with hidden traps; if one of them were triggered, it wouldn't be impossible for Zoval to be transported directly to the final chamber.

"So where should we go now?" Xin Diyalai looked at Yun with a puzzled expression on her face. She could clearly sense that Yun was in a strange state, as if he was deeply annoyed and helpless, but he refused to speak out.

Yun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "System, where do you think I should go now? The dimensional portal or the tomb of the firstborn?" He decided to listen to the system's advice and see if he could get some useful hints.

The system quickly responded: "I suggest you go to the foundry."

Yun couldn't help but be surprised by this answer. He had previously speculated on various possibilities, but he had never expected the system to direct him to the Foundry. Although he knew that the Foundry was merely the location of a boss in the game, judging by its name, it might hold some hidden secrets.

"Why do we have to go to the foundry? Is there anything special there?" Yun asked the system in confusion, hoping to get a more detailed explanation.

"According to my analysis, the foundry should be a place that specializes in producing equipment that can be directly installed on proto-bodies. In other words, there is a high probability that proto-bodies exist there, and we may be able to directly resurrect the four of them." The system's voice sounded in Yun's mind.

"Huh? Direct resurrection?" Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised. He hadn't expected the system to consider the issue from this perspective. Furthermore, according to what Zoval had said before, the proto-bodies were indeed a very superior existence. Originally, Yun simply wanted to retrieve Sintiare and the others' souls; he had no specific ideas about how to resurrect them. However, at this moment, the system gave such an unexpected suggestion.

"That's right. Even if it's just the parts of the original body, it can be assembled. And even if there are certain defects, its performance will be much stronger than that of the human body." The system continued to explain.

After hearing this, Yun hesitated. He was worried that these protozoa might have some loopholes. If others got hold of this information, it would be extremely dangerous.

"Lord Yun? What's wrong with you?" Cindyale, who was standing by, noticed Yun's abnormality and asked with concern.

"Everyone witnessed Zoval's attachment to the protozoan just now. I know there might be a place where protozoans exist, and you can be resurrected that way. However..." Yun paused, as if considering how to express himself. "I'm not sure if there's any danger there. After all, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

Aaron was so excited when he heard this that he couldn't express it in words. He said eagerly, "Really? That's great!"

Seeing this, Xindi Yalai quickly rolled her eyes at Aaron and said angrily, "Don't be so happy yet. Let Master Yun finish what he has to say."

Yun glanced at Sintiarai with gratitude and continued, "Although I know there might be protozoa in that place, I can't guarantee there won't be other potential dangers. After all, I've never experienced this before, so I can't guarantee anything."

At this moment, Lei Te, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "We can give it a try."

Yun couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this. He asked doubtfully, "Huh? How do we try it?"

Lei Te took a deep breath and explained, "I will attach the original body first, and then you can all observe together to see if there are any problems. If everything is normal and there are no abnormalities, then it will not be too late for you to revive it."

After hearing Lei Te's words, Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. He secretly sighed, Lei Te was indeed extraordinary. Such decisiveness and resoluteness were not something that ordinary people could possess. Moreover, Lei Te was well aware of his low sense of presence in the team, and choosing this method was undoubtedly the best way to integrate into the team.

Just as Yun was secretly praising Leiter's decision, Witt suddenly said, "Let me go first."

However, Yun felt that vying for first place wasn't very meaningful at this point. After all, they knew nothing about their destination, and it was difficult to predict how many protozoa there were. In this situation, blindly competing might not be a wise move.

Yun's intuition told him that something was amiss here. Being so close to the Firstborn's Tomb made him wary. He felt the most urgent need was to leave this place as quickly as possible to ensure his own safety.

So, Yun decisively interrupted Witt and said, "Don't argue anymore. Let's go there and see the specific situation before making a decision."

With the system's guidance, Yun walked towards a teleporter without hesitation. With a flash of light, he was instantly teleported into a dark passage.

The scene here was quite similar to the one in the game, a somewhat dilapidated passage. However, unlike the game, there was no vegetation at all, only thick dust covering the ground. The front of the passage was dark, giving people a gloomy and oppressive feeling.

The lack of light inside reassured Yun somewhat. After all, the absence of light meant there were likely no powerful bosses ahead. However, the darkness also brought with it another worry—who knew what unknown dangers lay hidden in this pitch-black environment? If one accidentally triggered a switch, a terrifying boss might suddenly appear.

The passage was surprisingly long, seemingly endless. Occasionally, faint pinpricks of starlight would peek through. While not enough to illuminate far away, it wasn't enough to leave one navigating in complete darkness. As for where this light came from, Yun had no idea.

After walking for a long time, a slight change finally appeared ahead. Yun felt his vision suddenly open up, as if he had entered a completely new dimension. The most striking thing was the massive dome in the center. It looked mysterious, as if something was flowing within, emitting an eerie glow.

The top of the cover was open, like a container without a lid. However, unlike ordinary containers, there was no hole above this cover. Instead, some light flew out from it, floating throughout the space like stars.

These lights were exactly the same ones I had just seen in the corridor. They danced in the air like elves, bringing a mysterious and magical atmosphere to the entire space. It turned out that the source of these lights was right here, within this seemingly ordinary cover.

Witt stood in front of the hood, gazing at the dancing lights, as if completely drawn in. His eyes revealed a deep curiosity and contemplation, as if the hood concealed some great secret waiting for him to uncover.

Seeing Witt looking at the cover so intently, Yun couldn't help but feel a little strange. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there anything special about this cover?" Yun really couldn't understand why Witt was so interested in this cover.

Witt was silent for a while, then said slowly: "This place is so special. There is energy below, but it becomes a kind of...matter above." His words revealed an indescribable confusion, as if even he himself was very surprised by this phenomenon.

Yun was even more confused after hearing what Witt said. He frowned and asked, "Huh? What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Witt thought for a long time before explaining, "This thing can materialize energy. Look, it's pure energy down there, but up there it becomes a tangible, perceptible substance. It's incredible!"

Yun's eyes widened. This was the first time he'd heard such a statement. Energy materialized? How on earth was this possible? He couldn't help but become even more curious about this shield.

"But what's the use of this? Is it so powerful to materialize energy? Can it be thrown out directly?" Yun asked doubtfully. Although he had an inexplicable sense of awe for this ability, he really couldn't figure out what use this thing could be.

Seeing this, Lei Te quickly explained, "Materialization means transforming energy into a tangible object. This object can be made into various equipment or directly embedded into existing equipment. In this way, the attributes of the equipment will be greatly improved, making it extremely powerful."

After hearing this, Yun seemed to understand a little, but he still felt that this was just an ordinary way to strengthen equipment and there was nothing special about it.

"It's just a piece of equipment, how powerful can it be?" Yun said disapprovingly.

Lei Te looked at Yun and said seriously, "Don't underestimate this energy-materialized equipment. You know, even the best gems can only hold a very limited amount of energy. Moreover, after the gems are embedded in the equipment, the efficiency of fully utilizing the energy within is quite low. Even so, this improvement is already very considerable. And this material composed entirely of energy, the energy it contains is extremely enormous. Just embedding it in equipment will bring a huge improvement to a person. If it is really used to make a complete equipment, the improvement will increase several times!"

Leiter's words were full of emotion, and it was obvious that he had a deep understanding of this kind of energy-materialized equipment.

"Then how many times can I improve?" Yun asked in astonishment and disbelief.

Xin Diyalai looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before answering, "I can't be sure about that. You are so special."

Yun's heart sank, his initially hopeful mood plummeting to the bottom. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, Xin Di Yalai's words made him realize that his situation might be more complicated than he had imagined.

However, Yun did not give up easily and decided to seek answers from the system. After all, the system had always been quite reliable.

"System, is this the foundry? Is this thing in the middle useful to me? And are there any protozoa here?" Yun asked the system impatiently.

The system's voice soon came over: "Yes, this is the foundry. However, this thing in the middle isn't very useful to you. Its main function is to upgrade equipment, but the required materials are now difficult to gather."

Yun's disappointment deepened after hearing the system's response. He had originally held out a glimmer of hope for this so-called foundry, believing it would truly boost his strength as he had hoped. However, he hadn't expected it to be a false hope.

However, Yun was not discouraged. He immediately asked, "What about the protozoa? Are there any protozoa here?"

The system seemed somewhat helpless with Yun's persistence. After a moment's silence, it replied, "There are many nearby."

Guided by the system, Yun's gaze darted to the side as quickly as lightning. Sure enough, he saw numerous protozoa lying quietly, like sleeping giants. Yun's gaze was captivated by these protozoa, and he couldn't help but move closer, curious, wanting to observe them more closely.

As he approached, he discovered that although these proto-bodies appeared lifeless, they exuded a unique aura. Their bodies were smooth and flowing, as if meticulously carved by the most skilled craftsmen. Yun's eyes wandered among these proto-bodies, trying to uncover some secret about them.

At this moment, Yun noticed a cover in the middle, which seemed to contain something important. His curiosity was completely aroused, but when his eyes fell on the cover, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, which made him shiver.

Yun decided to temporarily put aside his exploration of the shield and turn his attention back to the protozoa. He carefully walked around the middle shield and headed towards the dim corner.

Seeing Yun walking towards the corner, the people who were originally in a trance suddenly came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream. They followed Yun's footsteps and walked into the corner together.

As the distance closed, everyone finally saw the true appearance of those original bodies - they were actually puppets! These puppets were lifelike, as if they had their own lives.

"Is this the original body?" Lei Te walked forward in surprise, feeling the texture of the doll in front of him. He reached out and gently touched the surface of the doll, feeling the cold and smooth texture.

"Yeah, I don't know what this thing looks like." Yun shook his head helplessly. Seeing how Zoval attached himself so easily and restored his original appearance, he couldn't help but feel even more confused about this mysterious protozoan.

Yun asked the system, but it couldn't give a definitive answer. Faced with this baffling protozoan, Yun felt somewhat helpless.

"Let me try." Rhett volunteered and decided to try to contact the protozoan himself to see if he could find some clues.
